Chapter 494: The Matter of Competing for Favor
"Since I have agreed to cooperate with you, then bother the third prince not to forget to marry Lin Xiao. Lin Rui is really an old fritter, knowing that with the binding of marriage, Shen Zecang will not cross the river and tear down the bridge.
"That's natural, the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader, I will come to the door in a few days to propose. For Shen Zecang, this marriage is just the product of transaction cooperation.
"All you need to do is tell your daughter to be at home and wait for me to propose. After Shen Zecang finished speaking, he got up and left, as if in his eyes, marriage was just child's play.
After Lin Rui sent Shen Zecang away, he called his daughter Lin Xiao over, Lin Xiao didn't know why, I didn't know what his father was doing when he called him over at this time.
"Father, why are you calling your daughter over in such a hurry?" Lin Xiao didn't know that what was waiting for him would be an unhappy marriage.
Lin Rui coughed and said, "Don't go out these days, stay at home obediently, and wait for the third prince Shen Zecang's proposal." ”
"What, the third prince, the marriage proposal, but I haven't seen him at all!" Sure enough, Lin Xiao was very dissatisfied when he heard that he was forced to get married.
"Nonsense. It is your honor that the third prince can take a fancy to you, don't be ignorant!" Lin Rui naturally didn't tell his daughter, she was just a pawn in his annexation of Tianmen Palace.
Although Lin Xiao was very dissatisfied and showed grief, since ancient times, women have to listen to their parents' orders and matchmakers' words.
Now there is no matchmaker, the life of the parents is naturally the greatest, even if Lin Xiao wants to resist, it will be useless, it is better to think about the benefits, marry the third prince, and he can be regarded as a member of the royal family.
A few days later, Shen Zecang really married Lin Xiao as promised, but it was not as grand as when he married Song Wanyan and Princess Qinggele, after all, this marriage was just a link between himself and the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Therefore, even if Lin Xiao marries, she only comes as a side concubine, and her status is naturally inferior to Song Wanyan in the main house and Princess Qinggele who is a princess.
The informant sent to monitor Shen Zecang's actions quickly told Song Shuyan about the incident, and with Shen Zecang's movements, Song Shuyan's first reaction was to tell Shen Zeyuan.
After knowing that Shen Zecang suddenly married the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader, Song Shuyan was surprised: "Before, didn't you know that Shen Zecang had a relationship with the martial arts alliance leader, can the emperor know about this matter?"
Shen Zeyuan was also confused, Shen Zecang had just married Princess Qinggele not long ago, and now it was only a few months before he actually accepted a concubine again.
"I don't have a clue, but since the other party is the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader, doesn't that mean," Shen Zeyuan paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Doesn't it mean that Shen Zecang wants to form an alliance with the martial arts alliance leader?"
Song Shuyan also guessed: "What the emperor said makes sense, the concubine also thought of this layer just now, but ······"
Song Shuyan stopped halfway through speaking, she felt that this was not a guess, it was very likely that Shen Zecang had really formed an alliance with the martial arts alliance leader.
"But what? But it's okay to say it's just the two of us, don't stick to court etiquette. Shen Zeyuan seemed to feel that the title of Emperor and Empress alienated the relationship between himself and Song Shuyan, so he said dotingly.
"It's okay, I just can't figure it out, why Shen Zecang wants to form an alliance with the martial arts alliance master, they shouldn't have had any communication before. ”
The more Song Shuyan spoke, the quieter his voice became, after all, he couldn't guarantee that Shen Zecang and Lin Rui had indeed not communicated before, and now in this situation, Shen Zecang and Lin Rui are likely to have been in contact but Song Shuyan doesn't know.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, it's just that this time I married Lin Xiao, I'm afraid that the two in Shen Zecang's family won't be quiet. Shen Zeyuan was in a rare mood to make a joke about Shen Zecang, and watched Song Shuyan say this.
However, after Shen Zeyuan said this, Song Shuyan already had an angry and crazy appearance in Song Shuyan's mind, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Song Shuyan is not a sage person, the more uncomfortable Song Wanyan is, the happier Song Shuyan is in his heart.
Sure enough, just as Shen Zeyuan and Song Shuyan expected, since Shen Zecang married Lin Xiao home as a side concubine, his mansion has not stopped for a day.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Shen Zecang to be this kind of person, just married me into the door for a few days, and which vixen did you fall in love with?"
Princess Qinggele didn't expect Shen Zecang to marry another wife so quickly, and naturally she didn't know that Shen Zecang married Lin Xiao in order to form an alliance with the leader of the martial arts alliance.
So Princess Qinggele made a big fuss, ran to Shen Zecang's front and asked like crazy: "Tell me, why do you want to marry a side concubine again? I have only been married for a few days?"
In the eyes of Princess Qinggele, it was Shen Zecang who was tired of herself, or Shen Zecang was a watery poplar and only wanted to have a new woman.
But Shen Zecang didn't bother to explain the reason to Princess Qinggele, watching Princess Qingge make noise day after day, Shen Zecang hated Princess Qingge more and more.
"Why don't you speak?" Princess Qinggele ignored Shen Zecang's frowning brows, still entangled.
This made Shen Zecang, who was already upset, even more annoyed with Princess Qinggele, and couldn't help but yell: "I want to marry! Is it true that in your Baiyi country, men are not allowed to accept side concubines? You are just a side room, don't yell at me here!"
Although Shen Zecang is very tired of Princess Qinggrad now, Princess Qinggele is the princess of Baiyi Country after all, not to beat or scold, even if she is bored after being angry, she still has to provide it.
After Shen Zecang roared angrily, he ignored Princess Qingge and walked out of the study.
Song Wanyan, who knew that Shen Zecang was marrying Lin Xiao as a side concubine again, was naturally dissatisfied in her heart, as Shen Zecang's main house, Shen Zecang's marriage to a Qinggele princess was enough to upset herself, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, Shen Zecang actually accepted a concubine again.
Song Wanyan was very unwilling, and was annoyed in her room: "Why did he ignore my feelings, did he ask me? An outsider from Baiyi Country is not enough, and he actually wants to marry!"
Although Song Wanyan was unwilling to marry Lin Xiao in her heart, after all, now that Song Wanyan was pregnant, she couldn't be too angry, so as not to move the fetus.
So Song Wanyan didn't do anything out of the ordinary, looking at her growing belly, Song Wanyan just comforted herself silently: "Forget it, my top priority is to raise the fetus with peace of mind, as long as my child is born successfully, I am not afraid of not being able to get Shen Zecang's heart!"
