Chapter 6: The prince is unhappy
After everyone retreated, Gu Linan hurriedly went to chase Xuan Lingji.
"Second Highness, Second Prince, please stay."
Xuan Lingji turned around unhappily, this old fox, leave him alone in trouble, he has to consider whether to reuse it. Xuan Lingji sneered: "Master Gu has done a good deal, and he has cleaned up this prince, so that Xuan Changji can marry your daughter, it turns out that he has taken a fancy to the position of the fifth prince's concubine!" β
Gu Linan looked terrified and said, "Wouldn't the second prince say this and put his subjects in a disloyal place? The Gu family has always supported His Royal Highness, and the ministers don't know why the fifth prince suddenly married Xiqing as a concubine! Xu is he who wants to sow discord, the second prince should not be tricked! β
Gu Linan's words still have some truth, let's not say who is to blame for this matter, the father's holy decree is difficult to change, and besides, Gu Xi cleared out the matter, this slut might as well be pushed to Xuan Changji, Gu Linan has been with him for so many years, it is not like a fake, he can't mess with himself.
No matter how ugly and fierce Empress Ming Jiang is, she is just a woman who has entered his mansion, and she is cool on the side after entering the mansion. Moreover, this marriage gift, but gave him a Ling King title, you know, Xuan Changji made many meritorious achievements before he was named King Leng, now his identity is easy to come by, and there are also a lot of fiefs and reward treasures, if you get the support of Ming Jiang, it is also a good thing.
Xuan Lingji thought about it calmly and said: "It's this prince who is confused, Gu Lao can rest assured, this prince will never be provoked by the fifth child." β
Hearing this, Gu Linan seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and said: "The second prince believes that Weichen is loyal, so the minister will retreat first, and please believe that the second prince must believe that no matter whether Gu Xiqing is the concubine of the fifth prince or not, the Gu family supports the second prince." β
Xuan Lingji nodded clearly, and Gu Linan retreated.
After Gu Linan left, Xuan Lingji's face turned cold, and he thought: Gu Linan, this old fox, he will have to clean it up sooner or later, as for Princess Mingjiang, how much storm can a woman set off?
Xuan Lingji thought about it, as soon as he returned to the mansion, before he got off the sedan chair, he heard Chai Xin shouting, "Oh no, the second prince, the mansion has been robbed!" β
After listening, Xuan Lingji opened the curtain, and really saw a group of people moving things outside the house, including his favorite picture of the Seven Squares of the Shocking Hung, looking at this formation, he almost didn't pick up the plaque in front of his house.
Xuan Lingji immediately got out of the sedan chair and roared angrily: "Presumptuous! Who dares to come to the prince's mansion to make trouble? β
Nangong Muxue walked calmly, saluted him respectfully, and said: "The second prince is not surprised, this is arranged according to the preferences of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been honest, and ordered that the wedding does not need to repair another mansion, but all the furnishings on the Second Prince's Mansion must be arranged according to the preferences of the princess, I hope the second prince will forgive me."
"Forgive me?" Xuan Lingji's face was as cold as ice at the moment, "This prince just entered the palace to discuss the marriage with his father and the princess, and the holy decree has not been accepted, the princess wants to move in, so she can't wait to marry this prince?" β
Nangong Mu said sharply: "Please show respect to the second prince, don't forget the second prince, the defeat of the Longyu Kingdom, Her Royal Highness the princess has pity for the people of the two countries, in order to save the people from the suffering of the war, she is willing to commit herself to marry the second prince, and the emperor of your Longyu Kingdom also has to give three points to the princess, you are not disrespectful this time, if you let the emperor know, I am afraid that the second prince will also be in trouble!"
Nangong Muxue refused to back down, forcing Xuan Lingji to have nothing to say, so he had to suppress his anger and said: "Since it is a marriage, the way for husband and wife to get along has always been that the wife follows her husband, and the princess should not move the things in the house without the consent of the prince!" Could it be that Ming Jiang is like a barbarian country? β
Nangong Muxue's eyes were compelling, and she took out the holy decree directly from her sleeve, and said: "Your emperor has made an edict early, and all wedding matters are decided by the princess, does the second prince want to disobey the holy decree?"
In front of the Holy Purpose, Xuan Lingji had nothing to refute, only darkened his face, and said: "That's it, Princess Jian can do whatever she wants, anyway, this king is not rare for these things outside his body."
Xuan Lingji held on, so he didn't get angry and tore his face with them.
Who knew that Nangong Muxue continued: "In addition, the maids in the second prince's mansion have been dismissed by slaves, and the emperor of Longyu Kingdom has an appointment with me Ming Jiang, and after the princess marries the second prince, the second prince can only have a woman from Her Royal Highness the princess."
Xuan Lingji listened to it and roared angrily: "Nonsense, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but there is anyone who dares to stop his husband from taking concubines?" This is simply against women's morals. β
Nangong Muxue completely ignored Xuan Lingji's anger, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, your emperor has also agreed to this."
"What? How could my father agree to such an impudent request? "Xuan Lingji couldn't bear it anymore, I thought that after Princess Jian entered the mansion, he would snub her, who knew that they would play this trick, originally he devoted himself to the government and had no heirs, and if he didn't accept concubines in the future, how could he spread the branches?
"This prince will never agree."
Nangong Muxue said: "I'm afraid I can't tolerate the second prince not agreeing, the marriage has been decided, it seems that the second prince has a lot of dissatisfaction with Her Royal Highness the princess, so please come into the palace and ask your emperor to come up and discuss."
Nangong Muxue refused to back down, her tone was strong, everything in the world has always been decided by the emperor, and no one has dared to discuss it with the emperor.
However, Xuan Lingji also understands that if Ming Jiang really has a war with Long Yu Kingdom, I am afraid that the outcome will not be decided, especially when Empress Ming Jiang almost brought troops in, at this time, even if Ming Jiang proposed to kill him, I am afraid that the emperor will not frown.
After thinking about it in every way, Xuan Lingji came to a conclusion: he couldn't alarm his father again for this matter.
Xuan Lingji only snorted lightly in the end, and left angrily.

Ji Jinglian was sleeping soundly on the tree, and suddenly woke up with a sneeze.
"Ah, who is scolding Princess Ben behind her back?" Ji Jinglian rubbed his nose and reclined on the tree, crispy and lazy.
Ruoyin walked over with a smile on her face and said happily, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you guess Ruoyin has done any good deeds?"
Ji Jinghuan didn't bother to look at her, but said: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing, it's a bad thing to play people, right?" Say, what did you do to Gu Xiyuan? β
Ruoyin said happily: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't know how ruthless that Gu Xiyuan is, how badly she tortured Gu Xiqing, and how much she had to be thrown out to feed the wolf dog, fortunately, at this time, the chivalrous girl Ruoyin came to the rescue, Gu Xiqing was not killed, and I also gave Gu Xiyuan some medicine, and she didn't dare to go out to see people for at least half a month."
Ji Jinglian suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What I want to hear is not this, what about the man in black?"
Ruoyin suddenly realized, "Oh, Ruoyin followed the man in black all the way according to the princess's instructions, and rescued Gu Xiqing before him, and then I followed him all the way, only to find that he entered the Leng Wangfu." β
Finally hearing what he wanted to hear, the corners of Ji Jinglian's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "It seems that Xuan Changji is really the same as I thought, and wants to start from the Gu family."
Ruoyin asked puzzledly, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what does this have to do with King Leng?" β
Ji Jingjian said: "I helped Gu Xiqing because I wanted to turn her into someone on our side, as for why Xuan Changji also targeted Gu Xiqing, I can't figure it out, could it be that he also started from Gu Mansion to find an opportunity to deal with Xuan Lingji?" β
Ruoyin asked, "Is that Leng Wang so powerful?" β
