After Vice General Xia and General Meng negotiated, he went back to his mansion, and without informing his wife, he went directly to see his daughter and explained the matter of the substitute marriage.

Xia Qingran was naturally very happy to learn that she could marry the crown prince as the youngest daughter of General Meng, but this was a wealth that she couldn't even imagine as a concubine, so she responded happily and began to prepare for marriage with peace of mind.

But this matter was known to Deputy General Xia's concubine Langhuan, and it was also because Xia Qingran himself said that he leaked his mouth, so that his own mother knew.

Xia Qingran is stupid, but her mother Langhuan (huan) is not stupid, since it is such a good thing, why not let Xia Qingjue marry instead, but let her daughter go, there must be a danger in this that she doesn't know.

For the sake of her daughter, Lang Huan began to inquire around, but unfortunately she is only a woman in the house, and she has limited channels to get information, and this matter is a secret, and only Deputy Xia knows about it at present.

Lang Huan was uneasy, and finally secretly listened to Vice General Xia's corner at night, and she really knew what happened.

"Husband, if our daughter becomes the crown princess, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be the queen, why don't you let Jue'er go?"

This is the voice of Xia Meng's wife, and I can hear the meaning of blame.

"If there is such a good thing, I am naturally willing to let my daughter go, but do you really think that Meng Lianyi can live until the crown prince ascends the throne? Or that she can sit in the position of queen for a few days. ”

"What do you mean by that, husband?"

"That Meng Lianyi is already frail and sickly, this is a well-known thing in our Moon Shouyue City, and it is not a secret, how could the emperor not know? Why did he let the prince marry a sick son to be the crown princess? ”

Xia Meng asked helplessly.

"You mean the emperor has other intentions."

"Do you still have to guess? The emperor asked the crown prince to marry the general's daughter, gave him a distinguished status, appeased General Meng, and also made General Meng have to support the prince, you must know that the second prince and the third prince are not fuel-efficient lamps.

With the support of General Meng, at least when the crown prince ascends the throne, there will definitely be no moths here at the border pass.

Moreover, there are too many people staring at the position of the prince's wife, which family in the imperial city has a daughter who doesn't want to have a queen, but unfortunately there can only be one princess, who to give it to or not, this is all to be weighed.

Rather than this, it is better to marry the daughter of General Meng, so that no one in the emperor can be offended, and General Meng is also a second-class person, regardless of identity, background and power, his daughter marrying the prince is also a good match.

As for marrying into the palace, her daughter can indeed be dressed and fed, but she also has to face the two side concubines, and the battle in the back house has never seen blood, are you willing to let Qing Jue face this? ”

"You're right, so why did you let Qing Ran go?"

"I'm also a gamble, after all, I'm her own father, if one day she ascends to the back seat, she can still bring our two sons, and let General Meng owe our Xia family a favor, why not?"

"But if that girl is developed, do you think she will still take care of us?"

"What are you afraid of, isn't this Lang Huan by my side? That's her own mother, she doesn't listen to me, can she still ignore the life and death of her own mother? ”

Xia Meng's abacus was very fine.

At this time, Lang Huan, who was squatting at the root of the wall and eavesdropping, was like falling into an ice cellar, and at this time she found that the man who spoke sweetly to her on weekdays was so deep in his mind, and he said that he had to make her a concubine, and she was the only one in her heart, and it was probably a nonsense to lie to her.

Lang Huan squatted in the corner for a long time, until her legs and feet were numb and unconscious, she slowly moved back to her room, without alarming anyone, just keeping her eyes open until dawn.

After three days, Lang Huan found an opportunity to talk to her daughter, when she asked the old servant next to her to guard the door and told her daughter everything she overheard.

"What? Mother, is this all true? ”

"When did my mother lie to you?"

"Then I can't marry instead, otherwise what awaits me is a dead end, mother, what should I do?"

Xia Qingran was also a little panicked.

Lang Huan and Mrs. Xia have been fighting for half their lives, and they still have some brains, otherwise they would not have given birth to their daughter safely, and they would have raised her so well.

"Don't panic, listen to me."

"Mother, you say!"

"Ranran, your father has decided on the matter of substitution, and there is no room for change in this matter"

"Mother!"

"Listen to me!"

Xia Qingran, who was in tears, could only nod.

"You are not a genuine Meng Lianyi, and it is the same to find a girl to replace you."

Lang Huan held her daughter's and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xia Qingran's eyes also lit up, anyway, she, Meng Lianyi, was an impostor, what was the difference between her and other girls.

"As long as a person gets on a sedan chair and marries into the East Palace, she is Meng Lianyi, General Meng can't deny it, and he doesn't dare to deny it."

"I understand what my mother meant, so what should I do?"

"Let your personal maid Cuizhu get on the sedan chair for you, she is close to your age and similar to you, as long as you enter General Meng's backyard, this matter will be half of it.

When the time comes, she can let you leave pretending to be a maid before getting married, as long as you leave the Meng family, you can find a place to hide first, and after I get out of here, we can leave the border city. ”

Lang Huan slowly said her plan.

"Mother, how do you get out?"

Xia Qingran is a girl after all, and she is still very panicked when there are no adults around.

"Ten days at most, five days at the shortest, I can fake my death and get out, after all, you are my only daughter, you will get married without me knowing, and it is normal for me to be angry."

"Mother, I understand!"

"Recently, you have taken care of your luggage, and everything that is inconvenient to take away has been exchanged for silver, and you have Cuizhu's deed in advance, so as to comfort her and let her marry you willingly."

Lang Huan explained carefully.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely talk to her well."

After Lang Huan left, Xia Qingran found Cuizhu and asked Cuizhu to help her with tears, and her reason was that she already had a sweetheart and couldn't get married.

In fact, the original Cuizhu went to the thatched house as early as when Aunt Lang Huan came, and when she came back, she happened to pass through the window of her own lady and heard the conspiracy of the two clearly.

When she learned that she was helping General Meng, she had already decided in her heart to be the substitute bride, her family was trampled to death by the iron hooves of the neighboring Qiang wolf tribesmen, and she was the only one who survived, and it was General Meng's soldiers who rescued her.

Even if it is to repay this kindness, she is willing to marry instead, as for dying after marrying into the palace, it is exactly a hundred, and it will not affect General Meng anyway.

And in order to appease General Meng, the prince should also be polite to General Meng, so that he can also buy some time for the Meng family army at the border pass.

This is the scene when Ripple first entered this body, and she made the same choice as the original body by mistake.
