Chapter 290: Compromise
The atmosphere of the meeting between the prince and his wife and Qi Yan was not as tense as imagined. Even, the king of the county still had a polite smile on his face.
After meeting in two places, the princess of the county took Princess Xian to the inner courtyard. And the king of the county went to the outer study with Qi Yan.
When there was no one around, the smile on the princess's face could no longer be hung up, and she said anxiously: "Jingyi, is what you wrote in the letter true?" Is he really going to divorce you? ”
Princess Xian lowered her head, her face was infinitely sad: "He also gave another condition, that is, if I don't want to be suspended, then I will give up the position of Princess Xian and can only be a side concubine." ”
"What? Qi Yan, this stinky little kid, actually dares you to make him a concubine? It's really the other way around! The princess of the county was furious when she heard this, and she was angry: "Does he really think that our county princess's mansion is easy to provoke?" It's just an unfavored emperor, and he dares to spoil my daughter, no! I must go into the palace to find the theory of the queen's mother! With that, the princess stood up and went outside.
Princess Xian hurriedly grabbed her. begged: "Mother, daughter, please, you must not go to the queen mother to theorize!" In that case, he will hold a grudge against his daughter, even if he escapes this time, what if he has the idea of divorce his wife again? Mother, can you guarantee that the queen will help us next time? If you make the mother angry, it will be more than worth the loss. ”
The princess of the county listened to this reason, she sighed and said with a sad face; "This is not good, that is not good, good daughter, then tell me, how can the mother and your father help you?"
Princess Xian listened to her mother's words of concern. I couldn't help but have tears falling from my eyes. She said in a low voice: "Mother, my daughter doesn't force anything, I just hope that the prince can be moved by his father, and give up this idea, and let it be." The last sentence, Princess Xian said softly.
The princess of the county was distressed when she heard this, but she was a straight-tempered person like her daughter, and at this moment, no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't think of any way, and the mother and daughter sat down mournfully and said nothing for a while.
At this moment, they all experienced the taste of the days like years.
As the sun rose, a small servant suddenly came in outside the door and reported: "The prince and the king of the county talked happily in the study." I've already started lunch. I specially ordered the little one to come in and tell the princess, please eat together! With that, he turned and took his leave.
Princess Xian and her daughter glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. But with such a sentence, the hearts of the two of them suddenly relaxed.
At one moment, someone brought the food, and the princess and daughter sat opposite each other, and slowly filled some things into their stomachs. The reason why it is said to be filled is because they can't taste the taste of the dish at all.
After the meal, the subordinate put away the dishes that had not been touched on the table, and the princess and daughter were rinsing their mouths, and the princess and Qi Yan strode in together.
The two of them hurriedly rinsed their mouths and greeted them.
No one knew what the two men were talking about in the study. The mother and daughter were guessing, and the king of the county said to Princess Xian: "Jingyi, my father has promised King Xian on your behalf, and from today on, you will no longer be Princess Xian, but a concubine of King Xian." ”
When Princess Xian heard this, tears the size of beans suddenly rolled down her eyes, and she bit her lip tightly and couldn't say a word.
The princess of the county was taken aback and said: "Lord, how can you ......" Zongfeng died.
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the county king: "Princess, I'll explain this matter to you when I go back." ”
One sentence blocked the princess's mouth, making her open her mouth to say something but couldn't say it, and her face was red.
The prince of the county turned his head to Qi Yan again and said, "Since Jing Yi is already a side concubine, should she vacate this main courtyard?" ”
Qi Yan smiled faintly and said, "It's all up to my father-in-law." ”
When the prince heard this, he turned to Princess Xian and said, "Jingyi, then you should hurry up and move out today and order someone to clean up the main courtyard, you know?" ”
How can Princess Xian be able to speak with a heartache at this moment, tears blurred her vision, making her unable to see who the person standing in front of Qin Chu was at the moment, that sentence seemed to be inserted into her heart like a knife, making her feel painful. Don't say open your mouth to answer the other party, she just has a hard time moving her fingers.
Seeing his daughter patronizing and crying, the king of the county did not answer, and his heart was also uncomfortable, but he had to be ruthless and said: "Jingyi, if you don't speak, your father will accept you." With that, he turned his head to Qi Yan and said, "Lord Wang, please move all Jingyi's things to the courtyard next to you!" Jingyi She is in a bad mood, our husband and wife want to take her back to live for a few days, wait for the new princess to enter the door, and then send her back, is it okay? ”
Hearing this, Princess Xian immediately raised her head, her eyes widened, she stared at Qi Yan deadly, and asked, "New princess?" Who are you going to marry? The voice was hoarse and ugly, just like Princess Xian's heart at this moment, which was stabbed by a blunt knife, and it was painful.
The princess also changed her face, and she asked her husband in disbelief: "What did you just say, King Xian wants to take another bride?" ”
The county king's tone was hesitant, and he couldn't speak the words that came to his lips for a long time. He really didn't want to say something in front of Qi Yan that would break his daughter's heart.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yan, who had been standing on the side and watching from the wall, said without the slightest emotion on his face: "Yes, this king is going to marry Prime Minister Yan's granddaughter in half a month, Miss Yan Chunling." ”
As soon as these words came out, Princess Xian's face immediately turned extremely pale, and she yelled at Qi Yan in a sharp voice: "You, how can you marry her?" Did you know that she was my friend? ”
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's your friend, this king, can't you marry her?" Who gave this rule? ”
Princess Xian couldn't stand it anymore, she immediately pointed at Qi Yan's nose and was about to scold, but at this time, Princess Jun grabbed her and covered her mouth firmly.
"Your Royal Highness King Xian, Jingyi is more excited, probably because the fact that you are going to marry Miss Yan makes her happy, so she will talk nonsense. Please don't mind. The princess of the county covered her daughter's mouth vigorously while giving her husband a look.
Qi Yan said indifferently: "It's nothing, this king is used to the sprinkling of the daughter." ”
The princess endured and endured it again and again so that she did not get angry.
At this moment, the prince of the county, who received his wife's eyes, said to King Xian: "The prince has a lot of things, so we won't bother, so let's take Jingyi back to live for a few days, and then come back when the new princess enters the door, I don't know what King Xian wants?" ”
Qi Yan pretended to sigh and said, "This king is very reluctant to leave Jingyi, but there have been a lot of things in the mansion recently, and this king is afraid of stimulating her, so let her go back and live with you for a few days!" When the time comes, the king will personally come to the door to pick her up. ”
Because the county king agreed to his request very happily, Qi Yan said that he would go to pick up Princess Xian in person.
When the prince and his wife heard him say this, they nodded their heads very tacitly, and then took the struggling princess out of the Xianwang mansion and got into the carriage and drove away.
Qi Yan looked at the backs of them leaving, revealing a very smug smile. After that, he went to the study to draft a recital that degraded his genuine princess as a side concubine and sent it to the palace.
……
When she returned to the county king's mansion, Princess Xian, no, it should be the concubine of King Xian, she glared at her father angrily, and said, "Father, are you going to help your daughter or harm your daughter?" Why did you agree to Qi Yan's request? Woo woo, I've changed from a princess to a concubine......"
Before he finished speaking, the county king said lightly: "It's better to be a concubine than to lose your life." ”
Just one sentence made the concubine of King Xian stop crying, and even the princess of the county, who was about to make a move, couldn't help but look at it in surprise.
The king of the county slowly walked in front of the concubine of King Xian, stared at her eyes and said, "You have such a good relationship with Su Xiyun, the young lady of Cheng'an Bo Mansion, then you should always know her eldest sister, right?" ”
The concubine of King Xian nodded inexplicably.
The princess couldn't help but speak: "Lord, what is the identity of Miss Su, and what is the identity of our Jingyi, how can you compare her with our Jingyi?" Isn't this lowering the level of our Jingyi for no reason? ”
The prince shook his head and said: "Then Miss Su was also ten miles of red makeup, and she married into the Anguo Houfu with great beauty, but you see, it's only a moon, so how many things have happened to Miss Su!" That is not something that ordinary people can afford. ”
Concubine Xianwang had no good impression of the Su family sisters at this time, and snorted coldly when she heard this: "She is so virtuous, and she deserves to be a woman with watery poplars!" ”
The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "If the father told you, then Miss Su was actually wronged?" ”
The concubine of King Xian immediately shook her head like a rattle: "How is that possible!" Everybody knows ......"|.
"Everybody knows something, but it's not necessarily true." The prince of the county interrupted her and said: "As far as my father knows, the reason why Miss Su ended up in that ending was completely framed by Mrs. An Guohou and Mrs. Qin Shao, otherwise, Qin Shi's heart was completely occupied by Miss Su, how could there be Du Ruoyun's status in the mansion?" ”
The concubine of King Xian's side opened a pair of beautiful eyes, as if she couldn't believe all this.
The prince continued: "Why did your Dao father promise King Xian to let you be a side concubine today, and let Miss Yan enter the door? ”
The concubine shook her head, her face full of confusion.
The prince of the county sighed and said, "That's because King Xian told his father directly that he was married to Yan Chunling, because Prime Minister Yan had already agreed to marry his granddaughter to him." This opportunity, he will not miss no matter what. ”
"I want you to obediently abdicate and make way for Xian, there are many ways, Qi Yan has at least a thousand ways to make you the target of public criticism, but he doesn't want to do it so desperately, and he doesn't want to use any means to force you to leave King Xian's Mansion, otherwise, the next Miss Su will be you."
The king sighed and said, "Jingyi, just look away!" At least this man didn't let you live on the streets and be pointed at by thousands of people, right? You can stay at home with peace of mind, and when the new princess gets married, King Xian will come to pick you up, and you can go back and live a good life! ”
