Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 626

Mo Chonggui's kiss was like a punishment, carrying a cruel intent, biting and ruthlessly. Shen Lingjun felt waves of pain on her lips and tongue, making her tremble all over.

"Well......"

She instinctively tried to push Mo Zhonggui away, but he instead held the back of her head, preventing her from moving, and kissed her deeper and harder.

Shen Lingjun felt like a fish pulled from the water, unable to breathe. All the air had been taken away from him, leaving only a suffocating dizziness, and the world spinning around him.

It's unclear how much time passed before Mo Zhonggui finally released her.

Once Shen Lingjun was free, she gasped for breath, her vision blurring.

Mo Chonggui snorted: "The Crown Princess is so considerate of me, she is truly virtuous and generous, a model of female virtue."

Shen Lingjun's lips were a little numb from his kisses, and she spoke with some difficulty: "Cough cough... Wasn't that Huo Tingsheng's order? I can't just ignore it, and I can't bring in any ugly concubines for you, can I? I have to pick them out carefully, right?"

Mo Zhonggui raised an eyebrow: "He said you've been in the Seventh Prince's residence for a year and still haven't borne any children, so he's urging me to take a concubine. We're husband and wife in name only, but we're already engaged anyway. Do you think we should just consummate our marriage and have two children in three years, then he'll have nothing to say?"

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She immediately gave a dry laugh: "Impossible, impossible! Huo Tingsheng just wants to plant spies in the Seventh Prince's residence. No matter how many children you have, he'll find a reason. We're just husband and wife in name only!"

What a joke! She doesn't even know how long she and Mo Zhonggui will stay together. Their current relationship is the most suitable one.

She had no worries or concerns, and could withdraw at any time.

Therefore, this relationship must not be allowed to deteriorate, otherwise, there will be big trouble.

Mo Zhonggui remained silent for a moment, then snorted and changed the subject.

"You don't need to worry about taking concubines, Princess Consort. I will find suitable ones myself. You just need to wait to drink the tea they offer."

Shen Lingjun feigned surprise: "Oh, so Your Highness already has someone you like. No wonder I didn't have to choose. May I ask which beauties have won your favor?"

Mo Chonggui poked her forehead and said in agreement, "Since the Princess Consort is so magnanimous, she mustn't be jealous. Although I've taken concubines in, they are still junior and will never surpass you, the principal wife. In the future, you'll have more sisters to talk to, making the inner courtyard more lively, wouldn't that be better?"

After joking around for a while, Mo Chonggui actually went to make arrangements for taking a concubine.

The two concubines he took in were naturally his subordinates. He fabricated a respectable family background for each of them, just to put on a show and appease Huo Tingsheng.

The concubine selection was done without much ceremony, taking place in just a few days. However, the secondary consort bestowed by Huo Tingsheng didn't enter the Seventh Prince's residence until half a month later.

Concubine was, after all, qualified to be listed in the imperial genealogy, and the marriage was personally bestowed by the emperor, making her status even more noble. The Ministry of Rites followed the procedures meticulously, elevating her status considerably.

Shen Lingjun first met Consort Xue when she served her tea on the day Consort Xue entered the mansion.

Just as Huo Tingsheng said, Xue Qian was indeed beautiful. Her appearance was dignified and elegant, gentle and poised, and she possessed a very intellectual beauty. She looked much more like the empress than "Cheng Wu".

Her temperament was also outstanding. Having served as a lady-in-waiting in the palace, her demeanor was impeccable, and every gesture was elegant and graceful, pleasing to the eye.

As a sixth-rank female official, Si Yue had four musicians, two musician managers, and two female historians under her. Therefore, Xue Qian had a managerial aura that was far superior to that of a typical young lady from a wealthy family.

She truly deserves the description of being both beautiful and intelligent.

If it were the real "Cheng Wu," who was inferior to her in every way, she would be completely overshadowed by her and feel utterly ashamed.
