Chapter 223: The Crown Prince's Side Concubine
In the cold palace.
Concubine Mei looked out the window quietly, the sky was overcast, and it was almost snowing.
"Niangniang, Your Highness is here!" The ugly grandmother came in from outside, Dongfang Rui was full of coldness, and as soon as she saw his expression, Concubine Mei knew what was going on.
"What, dissatisfied with the second imperial concubine?"
Dongfang Rui opened his mouth slightly, now he already knows that his mother concubine is full of eyeliner in the palace.
"Then Wu Huiyun, I don't know it at all." There was disdain in the tone.
Concubine Mei smiled faintly, "I heard that Wu Huiyun is a famous talented girl in Kyoto, don't you like talented women?" What do you like about that. β
ββ¦β¦ I like women who can ride horses! Dongfang Rui's mind came up with the sassy and heroic posture on horseback, Concubine Mei frowned, didn't he have any intention of the county lord of Yongji, why did he become a woman who could ride a horse.
"The concubine Nalan Ya chose for you, the mother concubine thinks it's okay." Concubine Mei's tone was vague and unclear, Dongfang Rui was a little surprised, since these days, he secretly entered the cold palace, every time he mentioned the queen, Concubine Mei's eyes couldn't hide the viciousness, how could he agree with her approach this time?
"Anyway, Marquis Changyuan also has a little military power in his hands, doesn't he?" She also thought that Nalanya would not interfere in Rui'er's marriage, but it seemed that she was very positive.
I'm just afraid, I'm worried that I'll make a move, right?
You must know that Concubine Mei originally wanted to choose a suitable concubine for Dongfang Rui to consolidate his position, but now the queen has made the first move, and the other party does not have any real power, which makes Concubine Mei have to think more.
Exactly, what kind of calculation is Nalan Ya playing?
"I don't like that Wu Huiyun, it's impossible to marry her!" However, Dongfang Rui's resistance was beyond Concubine Mei's imagination.
"It seems that Nalanya really didn't help me teach my son well." This sudden cold tone made the ugly grandmother on the side hurry forward.
"Your Highness! He will achieve hegemony one day, which woman in this world is not His Royal Highness? Why bother with the present? Besides, the old slave knows that Wu Huiyun is naturally beautiful, and there are not many more of these beauties! β
Dongfang Rui frowned tightly, although it was true, he didn't like it, he was led by the nose by others.
Concubine Mei looked at Dongfang Rui's stubborn appearance, and seemed to think of something, "If you don't like to be controlled, then stand in the highest position, and you will control the fate of others." β
Her words do make sense.
Dongfang Rui took a deep breath and strode out of the cold palace without looking back.
"Niangniang......" Mama was worried in her heart, she was afraid that Dongfang Rui would stop stepping here because she was angry that Niangniang didn't help him.
"You see, he never called out to the palace for a concubine. It can be seen that Nalan Ya's status in his heart, how can this palace allow their mother and son to be in love? A deep smile appeared on Concubine Mei's face.
In the middle of the jungle.
"The prince is going to accept a side concubine, what do you think about this matter?" The envoy looked at Xiyue with a calm face in front of her, could it be that she was really so confident in herself?
"The crown prince's side concubine was chosen by the queen, and the prince naturally has no reason to refuse, but as long as his heart is with me, there is nothing to be afraid of." Xiyue seems to have mastered the trick, and in front of the messenger, she can't be too weak, but she must be very confident.
Only by letting him know that he has the value of use, then the emperor will not abandon his chess piece.
Sure enough, the messenger carefully looked at the woman in front of him, and found that she seemed to be more and more arrogant than before, how could she dare to speak to herself like this if she had a trump card in her hand.
"This is the antidote pill sent by the emperor, which can temporarily suppress the poison on your body, and someone will come to Chenguo soon, only by looking at it specifically, will you know how to help you detoxify it thoroughly."
Detoxification pill? Xiyue accepted it reverently, but there was not much gratitude in her heart. In the past three days, if it weren't for the medicine sent by the county lord of Yongji, I was afraid that I would have been tortured and died, how could I stand here alive. The antidote pill has only been sent now, and I really can't rely on them!
"Thank you, messenger."
"Complete your task well, and the emperor will not treat you badly."
"Yes, Xiyue understands."
Seeing off the man in black, Xiyue returned to the prince's bedroom, where the handsome man was already waiting.
"Your Highness."
"Got medicine for you?" There was no superfluous expression on Dongfang Xu's face.
Xiyue nodded and placed the small porcelain vase in front of Dongfang Xu's eyes.
"No need, if you need it, the county lord of Yongji will find you to get it." Dongfang Xu slowly stood up, "If you Emperor Xiao make any moves, you must sue the main hall as soon as possible, otherwise, the county lord of Yongji can save you, and I can also kill you." β
With these words, the handsome man turned and left the dormitory.
Xiyue took a deep breath, she had long been accustomed to such an indifferent tone from the other party, but she didn't figure it out, as long as she kept this life, she would have a chance to turn the situation around, even if the prince hated her now, she believed that one day, she would definitely be able to get the prince's heart.
And at that time, she didn't have to be threatened by the queen at all, so that the prince ordered the county lord of Yongji to detoxify herself, and then, she really became the crown princess of Chenguo.
"Niangniang, Emperor Chen has ordered the prince to be married, and he will marry the side concubine in a few days." Xinlan didn't know that Xiyue had cooperated with Dongfang Xu in private, and at this moment, she thought that when the crown prince and concubine came, she would not threaten Niangniang's status.
"What about the crown princess? I don't have to bow when I see me. Xiyue didn't take the crown princess and concubine in her eyes at all, the identities of the two were there, and there was really nothing to be afraid of.
If the other party dares to block her path, then she has a thousand ways to get rid of the other party!
β¦β¦
"Congratulations to the second sister."
Du Yuanfang came to Du Yuanxiu's boudoir, and the elegant woman was sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze, not noticing that she had come to her side.
"Second sister?"
Gently stretching out his hand, Du Yuanfang came back to his senses, "Third sister...... Why didn't you call me when you came? β
Du Yuanfang snorted and laughed, "Now the entire Hou Mansion is preparing for the second sister's marriage, the second sister is good, sitting here alone in a daze." β
"......" knew that she was making fun of herself, Du Yuanxiu didn't speak, but quietly looked at herself in the mirror, "Third sister, you say, am I dreaming?" If it's a dream, how good would it be not to wake up? β
Seeing her so serious expression, Du Yuanfang restrained her expression, the second sister knew that the queen wanted to make her the prince's concubine, but she didn't know how lost the second sister should be, why didn't she find out.
"Second sister, why didn't you tell Sister SΓΉ earlier, it turns out that you like His Royal Highness the Prince."
Du Yuanxiu smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the dragon among the people, how many women like him, what is the use of saying it." β
"At least...... It's good to have someone who speaks from the heart. Du Yuanfang knew that according to the second sister's temperament, she really hid everything alone, and she would not tell others lightly. It's not for anything else, but the second sister's temperament, she just doesn't like to cause trouble to others.
Du Yuanxiu smiled slightly, until now, she couldn't believe that such a good thing would fall on her.
"Second sister, the crown princess is the princess of Yiguo, and I don't know what her temperament is, my sister is only worried about ......"
"Don't worry, since you are a princess, you are naturally dignified and decent, and my sister knows how to deal with it, so she can't cause trouble to His Highness."
"......" Du Yuanfang looked at her second sister who was so understanding, and hoped that she could really be happy.
And the day when the prince married the side concubine, although it was not as grand as the gift of the concubine, but it was also ten miles of red makeup and red yarn all over the city, the bride accompanied Du Yuanxiu all the way from the Changqing Marquis Mansion into the palace, the bride in the red Jiaozi held her hands tightly, her heart was nervously lifted, the lively firecrackers echoed in her ears, and the scene of the first encounter with the prince could not help but appear in her mind.
Nowadays, a qiΔ is like a dream, such a real and wonderful dream.
The corners of Du Yuanxiu's eyes were slightly red, after today, she could be by her beloved's side every day, God treated her so kindly, I really don't know how to repay.
I just hope that she can share the worries and solve problems for His Highness.
In the palace, the man in red stood with his hands in his hands in the attic, and his mood was not as heavy as that day. Because, it's his own choice.
"Your Highness, today is the day of great joy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness can't go in yet......"
The voice of the guards came from outside, and Dongfang Xu stepped aside and looked at Dongfang Rui, who was stopped by the guards below.
"Let the second prince in."
Dongfang Rui raised his head, just in time to meet the gaze of the prince.
"Brother Huang, Brother Huang has something unknown."
Dongfang Rui didn't have a smile on his face, he just looked at the red-clothed man in front of him with his back to him, Dongfang Xu turned his head slightly, waiting for him to continue.
"What the royal brother likes, isn't it the county lord of Yongji? Why do you want to marry another woman? Even if there are 3,000 beauties in the future, at least you have to allow your sweetheart a concubine, right? β
Dongfang Rui's words made Dongfang Xu's heart ache, why didn't he think so, but how could he make people.
"Sometimes, it's all about yourself."
"Then why didn't you choose the county lord of Yongji as the side concubine?" In Dongfang Rui's opinion, Yun Shu is fully qualified to stand by the prince's side.
However, Dongfang Xu was speechless for a long time, didn't he want to, he was working hard now to become a man worthy of her one day.
What she wants, she must get it for her with her own hands. Live up to the country, live up to her.
"Brother Huang, soon you will also marry Miss Wu, you must not be so reckless in the future."
Dongfang Rui was originally full of words, but after seeing the prince at this moment, he found that he couldn't say it.
"Your Highness, the auspicious time has arrived." Outside, my father-in-law's voice came from outside.
Dongfang Xu turned around, stopped beside Dongfang Rui, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then smiled back.
That smile, in Dongfang Rui's opinion, is really ugly.
It turns out that the imperial brother also has unsatisfactory times, and the position of the crown prince makes the imperial brother accept a qiΔ so passively? If it were him, he wouldn't allow others to influence his decisions.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Rui's words immediately appeared in his mind, let yourself be strong enough to let yourself influence the fate of others.
He walked over to the wooden fence and looked at the man below who was surrounded by the crowd, and his eyes glistened with an obscure light.
