"Xia Jingshu wants to enter the Eastern Palace. It just so happens that you two are getting divorced, so I'm not considered a co-wife..."

These words made everyone present gasp, and they all looked at Xia Jingshu, who had been sitting next to Huo Jin without saying a word.

Xia Jingshu's face turned green with anger, and he quickly knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have never thought of this before."

Xuanyuan Qing was unhappy.

"Why are you pretending? My foster mother told me everything you said to her a few days ago. If you like the Crown Prince, then you like him. There's no need to pretend. Anyway, I'm not competing with you for it now."

"You young ladies from aristocratic families are always beating around the bush. You're not honest at all and never say what you're thinking directly. Unlike me, I say everything directly and act openly."

Xia Jingshu was angry and scared, and her back teeth were almost broken by her biting.

"I never said that. Your Majesty, please understand."

Is Xuanyuan Qing really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

She had never offended her before, was she saying this to try to kill her? !

As a noble princess of Dayong, she could naturally say whatever she wanted and no one dared to do anything to her.

But her careless words could very well cost her her life, doesn't she understand?!

Xia Jingshu's face suddenly turned gloomy. Damn it, if she couldn't survive, then both sides would be at risk, dragging Xuanyuan Qing down with her!

Xuanyuan Qing's face became increasingly unhappy. Just as he was about to say something, Crown Prince Qin Yi stood up and walked to the center of the hall.

"Since Princess Xuanyuan has no interest in me, I will not force her. Your Majesty, Mother, I have a favor to ask of you today. I recently learned that Xia Xizhi, the concubine of the Xia family, was actually my savior."

"I want to repay her for saving my life by taking her into the Eastern Palace as a concubine."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whispers of the people below suddenly stopped, and in an instant it was as quiet as a chicken.

The prince actually wants to take a concubine as his concubine...

The ministers all stole a glance at the emperor and empress's expressions...

Although they appear nervous on the surface, they are actually just watching the show.

The Queen's expression, which had improved somewhat due to Huo Jin's rejection of Xuanyuan Qing, suddenly turned sour.

The prince actually wants to take a concubine as his concubine... Is he crazy?

Sure enough, the woman was just as the rumors said, a vixen who seduced men!

"Prince, stop talking nonsense and step back."

The queen's tone was calm, but one could tell she was angry.

"Mother, I want to repay you for saving my life." Qin Yi lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground.

"You!" The queen's face turned ashen with anger. How could her usually obedient and smart son be so stupid at this moment!

She has already made plans for the two concubines.

One was given to the Taifu's legitimate daughter, and the other was given to her niece from her mother's side. Both could help him. Even if he wanted to repay them, why should he give the lowly illegitimate daughter the position of a concubine? It was really stupid!

At this moment, Huo Jin, who was dressed in bright and dandy clothes in the corner, suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, then knelt down with a thud.

Huo Jin was dressed in red and green, looking like an early-rising rooster, with a gold and jeweled crown on his head, which was so dazzling that the onlookers couldn't help but twitch their lips.

"Your Majesty, Xia Xizhi, the concubine of the Xia family, is now my elder brother's concubine. How can she marry into the Eastern Palace?"

This made everyone present pause. It was unbelievable. It turned out that the person that Princess Xuanyuan and the Crown Prince wanted at the same time was already married...

Then the prince actually wants to take her as a concubine?

Who is this woman?

Some people were puzzled, but someone who had seen Xia Xizhi explained quietly,

"That Miss Xia is both talented and beautiful. The way she saved someone in the arena last time was something even the imperial physician didn't know about. It's no wonder she's been noticed by others."

"I didn't expect Huo Jin to do such a thing. He actually stood up for my eldest brother's concubine."

The people below were muttering quietly, but the next second they were shocked by Huo Jin's words.

"Your Majesty! My sister-in-law Xia Xizhi and I are in love. I fell in love with her at first sight and cannot live without her! I beg Your Majesty for mercy and let Miss Xia marry me!"

Huo Jin cried while speaking...

Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly covered his mouth.

Just when I thought he had done something human, he stopped doing it...

The queen paused for a second, and used her sleeves to cover her lips that were trying not to smile.

As the rumors say, he's a playboy who teases cats and dogs...

He actually asked for his brother's concubine in this hall. He is really a hopeless person.

Some loyal ministers couldn't help but worry for Huo Jin. After all, he was the descendant of loyal ministers. It would be a pity if he was beheaded for this.

More ministers were disdainful and looked down on him. General Huo was a very important person, but he actually gave birth to such a playboy. He had brought shame to the Huo family.

Not only was the emperor not angry because of his antics, but his expression became better. His eyes fell on Huo Jin's face. This was the dandy boy in the general's mansion.

It’s good to be a dandy, because only a dandy can make him feel at ease.

It would be best to destroy the prestige of the Huo family and Huo Jin’s prestige among the people!

A general's mansion has higher prestige than his as emperor. How can he sleep peacefully!

If his younger brother-in-law snatches his eldest brother's woman, the Huo family will probably become the laughing stock of the whole of Shangjing, and he is happy to see it happen.

If he marries this concubine's daughter as his principal wife, he will never be able to cause any trouble in his life if he marries a legitimate daughter from a good family.

Although the emperor was happy in his heart, he pretended to be angry.

"Nonsense, she's your elder brother's concubine, why are you..."

"Your Majesty, my mind and heart are now filled with her. I cannot live without her! I beg Your Majesty to consider my elder brother's contribution in winning the battle and grant Miss Xia to me!"

The emperor sighed in pretended helplessness.

"Forget it. Considering that General Huo sacrificed his life for the country and your brother Huo Jin also fought and won battles time and time again, I will grant your wish."

"Huo Jin, accept the decree! From now on, within one month, Xia Xizhi, the concubine of the Xia family, will marry Huo Jin, the second son of the Huo family, as his legal wife."

Huo Jin raised his head and his expression changed in an instant. He cried out in gratitude and shouted,

"I accept your command! Your Majesty is wise and enlightened. Long live Your Majesty!"

The emperor laughed. This dude was much more likable than Huo Jin. If Huo Jin had this kind of personality, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

The prince looked very unhappy, but the imperial edict had already been issued, so he did not dare to say anything more at this time and could only retreat silently.

.......

Huo Jin finally insisted on not agreeing to marry Xuanyuan Qing. The emperor didn't want him to marry her in the first place, which just happened to satisfy his wish.

"Alright, I'm tired too. You guys continue, I'm leaving first."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

......

The banquet could not continue at this point. After the queen left, everyone left one after another.

Xuanyuan Qing's face was very bad. When he passed by Xia Jingshu, he mocked her.

"The prince would rather have a concubine than you, haha."

Xia Jingshu sneered and looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"Isn't the princess the most popular among men? Why are you rejected repeatedly by Huo Jin? He seems to dislike you."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

"you!"

Bitch!

Xuanyuan Qing's face turned even worse.

.......

Dayong.

In the luxurious and magnificent palace, several black pillars with coiled golden pythons stood above the main hall. In the center, there was a dragon throne made of nanmu wood with golden threads. Xuanyuan Yan, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold threads, sat on the chair.

His angular outline and three-dimensional facial features made him look majestic without even being angry. Beside him stood a man in a white robe who looked like a banished immortal.

The Jinyiwei knelt on one knee to report,

"Your Majesty, this is Yue Ren's letter of apology sent by carrier pigeon."

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at him twice, and his dark eyes suddenly became sinister.

"National Master, you will supervise the country during this period."

Bai Yu paused, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Xuanyuan Yan bit his back teeth.

"I'm going to capture the queen!"

What nonsense!

He thought Ling'er had returned to her parents' home!

"Order five thousand Jingwei soldiers to follow me to capture the queen."

"Yes!" Jinyiwei continued,

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Zhuiyue Tower has sent you a secret letter."

"Zhuiyue Tower?" Xuanyuan Yan narrowed his eyes. Isn't that the legendary spy organization...

"What did you say?"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard reported that the princess had been replaced by the Xia family.

Xuanyuan Yan's face became even gloomier and he sneered. No wonder his Xuanyuan bloodline gave birth to an ugly child!

The Xia family is really brave, daring to exchange his daughter.

court death!

"Order 50,000 Jingwei troops to follow me!"

If the emperor of the Central Plains does not give him an explanation, he will simply destroy the Central Plains and merge it into Dayong!
