Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall fell silent, their eyes flickering between the Crown Prince, Xie Jinglan, and Princess Yuzhu.

Princess Yuzhu blushed and stood up, saying, "I will leave it to the Queen Mother to decide."

"Well, mother, brother, if you also think they are suitable for each other, then this marriage is settled." Beitang Hui felt that as the eldest princess and the queen of Nanyang Kingdom, the empress dowager and brother should not object to giving a woman to Beitang Yuan.

The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Yuzhu, her eyes devoid of emotion. "Hui'er, you're confused. Yuzhu is a princess in your name. Even though she's not your biological daughter, you can't let her be someone else's concubine!"

Beitang Hui showed a hint of unnaturalness on her face. The empress dowager was reminding her that when she was young, although she was not registered under the empress dowager's name, the empress dowager still treated her and her brother as her own children.

"Yuzhu is a princess, so naturally she cannot be a concubine."

Beitang Yuan sat there, drinking tea by himself, as if what the princess said had nothing to do with him.

"Royal sister, what do you want to say?" Emperor Kunming frowned, feeling that there was something else behind her words, and he must not say anything that would make his mother unhappy.

"I've thought about it. Since Yuzhu can't be a concubine, I can only let Miss Xie be the concubine!" Beitang Hui came up with a good idea that he thought was the best of both worlds.

Empress Changsun immediately agreed, saying, "This suggestion, Princess, is a good one. It's a good idea."

"As a daughter of the Xie family, I can be beheaded and bleed, but I will never suffer any injustice, and I will never become anyone's concubine." Xie Wanying's voice was crisp and resounding.

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan was moved and her eyes turned red.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are both here. If she said this, she would be offending the entire royal family.

As expected, Beitang Hui's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Duke Li, do you think what I said was wrong?"

Her question was tricky and difficult to answer.

If Xie Wanying answered yes, she would be disobeying the eldest princess and offending the royal families of both countries; if she said yes, it would be equivalent to agreeing with her words, and Xie Jinglan would have no choice but to give up her position as the principal wife to Princess Yuzhu and become Beitang Yuan's concubine.

Empress Changsun, Beitang Hong, Beitang Qing, Lin Ruyan and others were all gloating and secretly cursing that it was what they deserved.

Xie Wanying knew Beitang Hui's little thoughts. With a calm expression, she stood up and bowed to Emperor Kunming, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My Xie family's ancestors taught us that men should not take concubines, and women should not be concubines. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has found another good man, please dissolve Lan'er's marriage with the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, whispers were heard in the hall.

Everyone thought that Xie Wanying was too bold, and even dared to say that she wanted to cancel the marriage arranged by the emperor.

Only Xie Jinglan thought that her grandmother's words were right. She avoided answering the eldest princess's questions, did not fall into her trap, and went directly to the emperor to cancel the engagement.

"It seems that I am old and useless. No one even listens to what I say." said the Queen Mother.

Emperor Kunming was startled and quickly stood up, bowing to the empress dowager, "Mother, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I will never dare to disobey you."

"Hmph! The marriage between the Crown Prince and Xie Jinglan was arranged by me. Now the Princess wants to demote Xie Jinglan to a concubine. Do you think my decree can be changed every day?" The Queen Mother spoke slowly, but it made Beitang Hui look shocked.

"Mother, this is definitely not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" The Queen Mother's question did not give the eldest princess any face.

Emperor Kunming saw that something was not right, and secretly glared at Beitang Hui. He tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mother, calm down. You know that my sister is just like that. She speaks her mind directly. Please don't take it to heart."

Xie Jinglan sneered in her heart, saying that it was possible for the queen of a country to speak her mind.

It would be difficult for a woman in the harem to live to her age without being very cunning.

Seeing that Emperor Kunming had said so, Beitang Hui could only apologize to the Empress Dowager, "Please forgive me, Mother. I was not thoughtful enough in this matter. Please don't take it to heart."

But he secretly hated Xie Wanying in his heart. She was still as annoying as ever.

"Since the Queen Mother doesn't agree, forget about this marriage..."

"Mother, I am willing to be the concubine of my cousin the Crown Prince." Yuzhu suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the hall and knelt. "I have long admired my cousin the Crown Prince. I hope that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's uncle will grant my wish."

"Dai Yi, you are a princess of a country, how can you be a concubine? That is really unfair to you." Beitang Hui looked as if she felt sorry for her.

"Mother, I don't feel wronged. As long as I can stay with my cousin the Crown Prince, I am willing to do anything for Dai Yi." Princess Yuzhu said this insincerely, but she did not agree to be Concubine Ping, so she could not stay with Beitang Yuan.

As for the position of Crown Princess, it won't be long before it becomes hers, so it doesn't matter if she suffers a little injustice now.

Beitang Hui and Yuzhu sang in unison, looking very touching, as if they had already secured the position of Crown Prince Pingfei, and they completely ignored the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kunming who had already turned black, and the person involved who remained silent.

"Who the hell is she? Is she worthy of being the prince's concubine?" Beitang Yuan's sudden cold voice made everyone in the hall quiet down.

"Yuan'er, what are you talking about?" Beitang Hui was stunned, thinking that she had misheard.

Yuzhu only felt that as a princess of a country, she was so proud that she had made the biggest concession by devoting herself to being his concubine. Suddenly, when she heard Beitang Yuan's words, she felt extremely wronged.

"Crown Prince cousin, you... don't like me that much?"

"Why should this prince like you?" Beitang Yuan glanced at her with disgust and said shockingly, "You are a two-faced bitch, you have been ridden by thousands of people and tasted by tens of thousands of people. And you still dream of marrying this prince? It's disgusting!"

"This……"

There was a commotion in the hall, and people started whispering to each other.

Is it possible that Princess Yuzhu is no longer innocent?

"You..." Princess Yuzhu fell to the ground, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with mist.

Being described as such by the prince in public was simply like stepping on her face.

"Beitang Yuan, do you know what you're saying?" Beitang Hui's dignified face could no longer be maintained, and her eyes were filled with anger. "Sikong Daiyi is my princess, of noble status. How could you insult her like this?"

"Insult her? She's capable of doing this. I'm just telling her the truth, and that's insulting her?" Beitang Yuan glanced at Beitang Hui with a sarcastic look and said:

"You sent this whore, who can be humiliated by anyone, to this prince, and you dream of becoming the Crown Princess of Yuyong Country. Don't you think you are insulting this prince?"

Xie Jinglan laughed. This guy didn't say anything the whole time. He just quietly watched the two people performing like clowns. She knew he was planning some big move, but she didn't expect it to be such a big move. It was too exciting.
