Resisting the Wind and Splendor

What is Prince Jin's beloved?

What does Consort Rui mean by this?

Wasn't Prince Jin previously engaged to Miss Li from the Duke's mansion, but they peacefully broke off the engagement just before their wedding?

Later, it was heard that the reason for the annulment of the engagement was that Prince Jin had fallen in love with a woman he had brought back from the border.

When Consort Rui brought this up at this time, did she want the Emperor to grant Prince Jin and Tuoba Feiyuan a marriage?

After a moment of confusion, everyone's gaze fell upon Chu Yueli.

Zisu was also looking at the young lady.

Chu Yueli's face was somewhat pale, which further confirmed everyone's thoughts.

Consort Rui wants to ask for a royal marriage! For the sake of Prince Jin and Tuoba Feiyuan!

Sure enough, Consort Rui said again, "Your Majesty, I love my son dearly and dare to beg Your Majesty that if Jin'er can win even half a point in the competition, please grant him a marriage and allow him to marry the girl he loves."

Of course, in a decisive battle, winning is winning and losing is losing; there is no such thing as a victory in the slightest.

Consort Rui's words were merely to give face to the Third Prince of Dongzhou.

The Emperor looked at Consort Rui, who smiled gently.

After a moment's hesitation, the Emperor suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Very well! I grant my beloved concubine's request."

Consort Rui sat back down, satisfied.

The empress, standing to the side, looked extremely unpleasant.

Consort Rui is planning to get pregnant again!

The people in the hall were somewhat moved.

Not long after breaking off her engagement with Chu Yueli, she now wants to publicly request the Emperor to bestow a marriage upon her and marry Tuoba Feiyuan. This is extremely hurtful to Chu Yueli.

Zisu's eyes reddened with anger: "They've gone too far!"

Chu Xiaohe looked at his younger sister with immense heartache, yet felt helpless. He could only softly say, "Ali, don't worry about them!"

Chu Yueli nodded, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.

Zisu bit her lip and said angrily, "I hope Prince Jin loses miserably, then let's see how he will beg the Emperor to grant him and Tuoba Feiyuan a marriage!"

Those two shameless bastards!

Anyway, Consort Rui said that she would only ask for a marriage decree if she won.

If they lose, the arranged marriage will cease to exist.

She couldn't stand seeing Lu Fengjin and Tuoba Feiyuan being affectionate, because they hurt their young master and young lady!

On stage, after exchanging pleasantries, both sides immediately launched into a fierce battle.

Zisu and Chu Xiaohe watched cautiously, but the strength of the two sides seemed to be not much different.

The Third Prince of Dongzhou possessed unpredictable swordsmanship and was a master who kept his abilities hidden.

Prince Jin was, after all, a war god, and his martial arts skills were indeed unfathomable.

The two fought fiercely for a time, neither gaining the upper hand.

Zisu leaned closer to Chu Yueli and whispered, "Miss, who do you think will win between these two?"

Chu Yueli shook her head: "I don't know."

Zisu thought she was angry, so she comforted her, "Miss, you don't need to care about them. If Prince Jin really does win, just treat it as a farce. Don't get upset."

Unexpectedly, Chu Yueli said quietly, "If he wins, I'm afraid the Duke's mansion will be swallowed up by Consort Rui."

"Miss?" Zisu was taken aback, and Chu Xiaohe was also astonished.

What does that mean?

Chu Yueli closed her eyes, let out a soft breath, and then said, "Although Consort Rui doesn't like me, how could she possibly let Tuoba Feiyuan marry Prince Jin as his principal wife? In Consort Rui's eyes, a woman of this background is only of little value—to help her deal with other women."

Tuoba Feiyuan was not qualified for a marriage by imperial decree.

Consort Rui may hate herself, but she has never given up on the 100,000-strong Chu family army of the Duke's mansion!
