"Of course she is a good character." Zhenbei Hou said proudly, "It's just that the emperor still has to put in some effort. He doesn't want Ting'er to be the principal concubine, so he promised her the position of side concubine. Naturally, it's not uncommon."
"Concubine? This King of Chu has married a concubine?" The old lady was startled.
The nun beside her quickly whispered in her ear: "Old madam, have you forgotten? The one who rescued you in Mingyue Temple is Princess Chu."
How dare the old lady forget her benefactor? She just didn't associate the benefactor with the King of Chu for a while. When grandma reminded her, she quickly said: "I remember, I remember."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was surprised when he heard this and asked: "What Princess Chu? Who saved you? What's wrong with you, mother?"
The old lady then told everything that happened in Mingyue Nunnery and sighed: "If it weren't for her, how would your mother be able to see you come back now? I'm afraid the corpse will stink now."
Zhenbei Hou Qi said: "Is there such a thing? Then this Princess Chu is our family's benefactor."
"Isn't it?" said the old lady.
Marquis Zhenbei felt melancholy, "If she is a benefactor, how can we ask her to give up the throne? Our Ting'er cannot be a concubine. Otherwise, we should give her some benefits and arrange for her to rest for the rest of her life. If she gives birth to a child, Ting'er will be treated as her own.
.”
"Give up the throne?" The old lady heard this and was furious. "How dare you do such a thing that is against human ethics? You want to leave your mother and leave your son behind. You can tell me that I am ashamed of you."
Seeing that his mother was angry, the Marquis of Zhenbei naturally did not dare to say anything more. He said with a smile: "If you don't mention it, why don't you ask her to be a concubine? How about asking her to be a concubine? Jinghou is a person with no future, so Jinghou's family
With your family background, being a concubine is considered an honor."
"Shut up!" The old lady slapped her in the face immediately, "The princess has done a good job, why don't you have to break up her husband and wife? It's not like no one wants us in the court."
Seeing that his mother was very angry, Zhenbei Hou was afraid that she would have a heart attack, so he quickly supported her and comforted her, "Okay, my son made a mistake. Shut up, son. You calm down, calm down."
The old lady was still angry, "If you dare to mention it again, I will break your legs."
"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore," Zhenbei Hou sat down, but he still couldn't help but said, "But, why don't we ask Ting'er to be my concubine?"
"Does it have to be someone who marries the royal family?" the old lady said angrily: "Does the royal family have gold to pick up or what? Everyone has their heads sharpened and squeezed in. Not all the royal family are so young, and not all the aristocratic families outside may be so young.
He is a dandy."
Marquis Zhenbei sighed: "What you said, mother, is correct. But yesterday, when Ting'er came back from the palace, she said she wanted to marry into the royal family. This girl has a very stubborn temper. What she decided to do was to pull eight horses.
Won’t come back.”
The old lady thought for a moment and said: "The King of Chu has already married a concubine. I heard that King Huai is not married yet. Why don't you ask King Huai?"
"If you fail to conceive the king, who knows when you will return to the west?" The Marquis of Zhenbei waved his hands repeatedly, "No, if the wife is gone within two years of marrying, wouldn't it mean that Ting'er would be left a widow?"
The old lady thinks about it. Being a widow will inevitably lead to a reputation as a coward. Moreover, if you become a royal wife, it will be difficult to find another one after you become a widow, and you don't have to live in an ordinary family.
"Then, be a concubine..." The old lady hesitated, "Then Princess Chu is kind-hearted. If Ting'er can follow such a mistress, life may be easier. Then King Chu will see that
If you have great potential, if you can ascend to the great treasure in the future, you will be a noble concubine after all."
Although Zhenbei Hou did not achieve his ideal, he respected his mother and said: "Then ask Ting'er to come out and ask if he is willing. If he is willing, his son will go to the palace. In fact, the emperor has the same intention today."
