Chapter 173 Shangguan Yunting's Bad Idea
After the banquet, Shangguan Rui anxiously followed Shangguan Yunting and Shen Rou out of the palace, and only dared to speak after entering the Princess's Mansion.
"Ninth Uncle, Princess Furong, please quickly think of a way to cancel the marriage."
Shangguan Yunting frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Rui'er, this is the emperor's order. Do you understand that the emperor's order is difficult? If your father was the head of an ordinary family, I could still fight for you. But your father is the emperor of Daqi. The marriage between the two countries is of great importance. The Ninth Prince is powerless and dare not interfere in this matter."
"After your father announced your second brother's marriage at the marriage banquet, you had no choice."
"So, get your mind together as soon as possible and prepare to marry the Sixth Princess of Northern Yan next year!"
"Ninth Uncle, you can't just ignore me. If I marry the Sixth Princess of Beiyan, how can I marry Xiaoxue? I promised Xiaoxue that I would marry her as my principal wife when she grows up. Now the Sixth Princess of Beiyan shows up out of nowhere. Wouldn't I be considered a heartless man? How can I even face her?"
"I've never asked you for anything before. Today, I'm asking you to help me once. From now on, I'll do whatever you say."
"Rui'er, it's not that Uncle Jiu doesn't want to help you, it's that I can't be your father's boss. Besides, he's paving the way for your future."
"I understand my father's good intentions. He wanted me to have a strong family background and choose a wife for me so that I could gain a firm foothold in the court. This is not what I want. I can earn military merits and gain recognition with my own abilities, rather than marrying a princess from Northern Yan with a powerful maternal family as a backing."
"Please help me for the sake of the princess and Xiaoxue! If I marry the Sixth Princess of Beiyan, Xiaoxue will definitely be heartbroken. If she is sad, the princess will definitely not be happy either. Your life may not be easy."
"The prince can marry Xiaoxue as a concubine even if he has a principal wife. This is your only choice."
Shen Rou was sitting on a stool drinking tea and listening to the conversation between uncle and nephew. Suddenly, she heard Shangguan Yunting's words and suddenly put the teacup on the table with a bang.
She glared at Shangguan Yunting and said coldly, "Shangguan Yunting, as a prince, you can also marry two concubines and multiple concubines. When will you marry a concubine? When will you take in concubines? Tell me when the time comes, and I will prepare wedding gifts for you in advance and a wedding banquet for you. Okay?"
"Xiao Rou, what nonsense are you talking about? I promised to marry you as my principal wife, and there will be no more concubines or side concubines in the future. I mean what I say."
"Then why did you instigate the Third Prince to marry a principal wife and then take my sister as a concubine? I'd rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. Even if you're a prince's concubine, you're still a concubine. Do you understand?"
"Why does the Emperor have so many concubines but only one Empress? The Empress is the Empress, and the son she gives birth to is the Empress's legitimate son. The legitimate son has more say than the other princes the day he is born. He is also the most qualified to inherit the throne without any imperial edict."
"The Third Prince married the Sixth Princess as his principal wife, and then married Xiaoxue as his concubine. To put it nicely, a concubine is a concubine, but to put it bluntly, she is a concubine. The children born to her are illegitimate, and illegitimate children are always inferior to legitimate children. Do you understand?"
"So I can't let my sister become a concubine, even if she's the prince's concubine. This is my bottom line and my principle."
"Your Highness is absolutely right. I've experienced the sadness and helplessness of a child born out of wedlock, and I absolutely cannot let Xiaoxue and my future child face such a situation."
"Ninth Uncle, please help me! You are the only one in the entire capital who can help me."
"Yun Ting, please give the Third Prince some advice for my sake!"
"Xiaoxue knows that her status is not worthy of the Third Prince and she is working hard to keep up with him. In a few years, she will become the most famous female doctor in all of Da Qi. And with me, her eldest sister, as her strongest support, although her status may not be comparable to that of the Princess of Beiyan, it's not far behind."
Others might think Shen Rou was talking nonsense after hearing what she said, but with Shen Rou's ability and the wealth in the space that was enough to rival a country, it would be easy for her to help her sister gain fame and fortune.
But she felt that Xiaoxue was too small and would attract unnecessary trouble.
Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou and then at Shangguan Rui, hesitant. After a pause, he said, "Rui'er, it would be extremely difficult for your father to retract his decision, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you are unwell and unable to bring happiness to the Sixth Princess, your father will definitely marry her off to someone else."
Shangguan Rui's eyes lit up when he heard Shangguan Yunting's words, and he said happily, "Thank you, Uncle Nine, for reminding me. I know what to do now."
He looked at Shen Rou and said, "Princess, please don't tell Xiaoxue about my arranged marriage for the time being. She will definitely be sad if she knows about it."
"Don't worry, Third Prince. I hate to see my sister get hurt more than anyone else. She'll definitely be heartbroken if the man she loves gets married and the person he's marrying isn't her."
"If you marry the Sixth Princess of Beiyan and make my sister sad, you and Xiaoxue will no longer be together. There is no doubt about that."
"Princess, I understand what you mean. I also promised to give Xiaoxue a complete life. If I marry the Sixth Princess of Beiyan, then there will be a flaw in my world, and I won't have the face to ask for Xiaoxue's forgiveness."
"I hope you will do what you say."
"a man of his words."
After Shangguan Rui finished speaking, he left in a hurry with his guards.
"Do you think he might accidentally injure himself?"
"Don't worry! He's not stupid."
"I'll go back and take a look in the next two days. By the time I come back before the New Year, the inn should be open."
"Stay with me for a few more days."
"A temporary separation is for a better reunion next time."
"That's fine. When do you plan to go back?"
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"
"I'll see you off after the court."
"I don't like separation."
The second prince came out of the palace and happened to see Minister Pan's family. He glared at the Pan family angrily.
He mounted his horse and galloped away. In the dark night, the clatter of the horse's hooves was as heavy and irritating as his angry mood.
Pan Jinzhi looked worriedly at the direction where they were going, unable to look away for a long time. "Dad, what should I do if the Second Prince doesn't want to marry me?"
"My daughter, this is the emperor's decree. Even if he doesn't want to, there's nothing you can do. After you get married, use your warm heart to slowly influence him. Dad believes he will see your good side."
"I hope so!"
Madam Pan said happily, "My dear, every girl in the capital wouldn't want to marry into the royal family, but you are the only one who has this blessing. Seize this hard-earned opportunity."
Pan Jinzhi nodded firmly.
The Second Prince returned to his residence, angrily smashing everything he was holding and roaring, "Father, you are too partial. In order not to betroth the Sixth Princess of Northern Yan to me as my principal wife, you temporarily granted me a marriage. How could you treat me like this? What did I do wrong?"
"Two years ago, you abandoned me to the common people and ignored me in order to check my grandfather. Now my grandfather is gone. My mother is in the cold palace. My uncles have been forced to return to their hometown. You still don't like me. What did I do wrong? Is it because I was born to a woman from the Huo family that you hate me so much?"
"You despise the Huo family's daughter so much, but doesn't half of your blood come from the Huo family?"
"Father, you are an ungrateful person. Without the Huo family, you wouldn't be on the throne now."
He continued to vent his anger, and his resentment towards the emperor increased.
He gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands and gritted his teeth, "If your beloved son were gone, would you turn your attention to me?"
Ye Chen was so frightened that he quickly stopped her and said, "Master, you absolutely cannot do that. The Third Prince is the most powerful right now. If something happens at this time, the Emperor will definitely get to the bottom of it. What if he finds out it's you? Don't be impulsive. We can make a long-term plan."
"As long as Shangguan Rui is not dead, I will never see a way out, and my father will never see my excellence."
"Master, there's an older prince above you. He's even more displeased with the Emperor's favoritism towards the Third Prince than you are. In the palace, anyone who receives the Emperor's favor is a thorn in everyone's side. You don't need to do it yourself; someone will naturally be unable to resist and eliminate the Third Prince, allowing you to reap the benefits."
"The Emperor has just turned thirty, and is still very young. It's too early for him to compete for the throne. As long as you conceal your strength, the future of Da Qi will belong to you."
After the Second Prince calmed down, he revealed a fierce look in his eyes, "Ye Chen, you are right. Marrying a useless woman can reassure my father, and it is also a good choice."
The eldest prince returned to his residence and sat in his study, lost in thought. After a moment, he muttered, "Father, your heart is so far-fetched that it's unbearable for anyone to watch."
The eldest prince's guard, Su Feng, quickly said, "Master, the Third Prince of Beiyan has sent a message. Wait for good news."
The eldest prince revealed a stern look, "Uncle Ninth, please don't blame me for being cruel. You and Shangguan Rui are on the same boat. If you support me, I will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest in my palace."
Censor He sat in the carriage and endured it all the way. As soon as he entered the mansion, he slapped He Qinghuan hard in the face. He was so angry that he pointed at He Qinghuan, who looked aggrieved, with a trembling finger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Useless thing! I carefully trained you, not to embarrass me. Now I have become a laughing stock in the whole court. I wish I could beat you to death, useless thing."
The sudden slap made He Qinghuan take a few steps back, and a clear palm print suddenly appeared on his face.
She raised her head, her eyes filled with tears and grievances, but more of stubbornness and unwillingness.
He Qinghuan choked up and said, "Father, I never thought that Shen Rou, a girl from the countryside, could write poetry. I just wanted to show off my talent at the banquet and let Prince Mu see my excellence. Who knew that it would backfire and end up helping others."
“That proves that you are too stupid to act rashly.
"My daughter knows her mistake."
"What's the point of admitting my mistakes? Now all the civil and military officials are laughing at me. How can I face the court?"
Madam He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Master, calm down. Now you should think about what to do. If you anger Prince Mu, Huan'er will definitely not become a concubine in Prince Mu's mansion."
"It's all because of you that you gave birth to such a fool. He's always causing trouble for me."
Censor He snorted coldly and walked away.
He Qinghuan bit her lip, hatred for Shen Rou surging, and whispered: "Shen Rou, we have a long way to go. You embarrassed me today, I won't let it go like this."
Madam He said quickly, "Huan'er, if you dare to think that any other mother can save you, from now on, you must stay in the mansion and not go anywhere. I will find you a good family to marry into."
"Mom, I don't want to get married."
"You have to marry even if you don't want to."
He Qinghuan ran away angrily with her servants.
Madam He sighed deeply and said, "This girl is so proud and arrogant. I can only feel at ease if she gets married now. Otherwise, I'm worried that she'll make a bigger mistake and bring trouble to the entire He family, the imperial concubine, and the eldest prince."
"Ma'am, don't worry too much. Miss will eventually understand that you are doing this for her own good."
"Mammy, go out and ask around in the suburbs of the capital to see if there's a suitable young man. Even if it's not too far away, it's fine."
"Madam, are you willing to let my young lady marry far away?"
"Mammy, she has offended Princess Furong by making such a scene today, which is also offending Prince Mu. All the civil and military officials are cunning. They can't even hide now, so how can they possibly marry her?"
"Besides, she's been spoiled since she was little and has a stubborn temper. If she offends Princess Furong again, things will get really out of control."
"Old slave, I'll go right away."
