Chapter Five: Changing the Concubine to the Concubine
"Prince Xuan, what do you think should be done with this? Che'er's making such a fuss not only angered your imperial brother, but also openly offended the Taishi Mansion, giving Lin Bo a reason to oppose him as the prince, but if
If you give in at this time and go back to marry that Lin Xiner, it will greatly damage Cheer's prestige as the prince, and it will also be detrimental to his future as the emperor." When Ximen Che's biological mother, Queen Jiang Ziyin, saw Prince Xuan
Ximen Jingxuan couldn't wait to ask.
When the emperor first decreed the marriage, Ximenche made it clear that he did not agree. However, due to the emperor's order, he kept silent and secretly sent a letter asking for help to Prince Xuan, who was traveling to the south of the Yangtze River. However, Prince Xuan had important matters and was delayed until the big day.
He didn't rush back until the night of the wedding. He also heard about the prince's situation, so he didn't rush into the palace. Instead, he sneaked into the Taishi Mansion to observe Lin Bo's attitude. As expected, Lin Bo relied on his power to
The hand will not retreat.
Originally, this was not a big deal at all, just marrying a concubine. As a prince, he should be able to weigh all aspects of the relationship and know what to do, but Ximenche was too uncertain and went too far.
Ximen Jingxuan had already considered Ximen Che, who had become the crown prince as the eldest son of the emperor. All the courtiers said that Ximen Che had the support of Prince Xuan behind him, and Ximen Jingxuan was not afraid of anything he encountered.
He relied heavily on him to help him deal with it. Even the emperor did not touch his crown prince's position because Ximen Che was assisted by Prince Xuan. In fact, Prince Xuan did all this for the crown prince because he was grateful for the kindness of the crown prince's biological mother, Jiang Ziyin.
Although Ximen Jingxuan only lost his mother-in-law during the chaos in the court eight years ago, his mother-in-law ignored him not long after he was born. As long as he can remember, he has been taken care of by the emperor's sister-in-law Jiang Ziyin.
After that, Ximen Che was born, and the two of them grew up together. So as Xi Men Che's uncle, he also had an extra affection that was incomparable to other princes.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law, she's just a woman. I'll handle it for the prince." Ximen Jingxuan comforted Jiang Ziyin. His words were indifferent to all difficulties, as if he could solve everything with ease with just a raise of his hand.
It's just a wisp of smoke blowing away in the wind.
"Prince Xuan, I feel relieved as long as you are here." After receiving Ximen Jingxuan's promise, Jiang Ziyin let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at Ximen Jingxuan, who is indifferent and indifferent to everything, but also has a quiet and natural demeanor, Jiang Ziyin can't help but think, if her biological son can be like this.
How good is it?
In the morning court that day, all the ministers' eyes were focused on the tense lips, with sharp light shining in their eyes. Lin Bo, who stood proudly at the head of the ministers and stood side by side with him, suddenly returned to the indifferent expression in the court.
On the body of King Xuan.
The two of them, one in the north and the other in the south, controlled all the troops of the Qingyuan Dynasty. But because Prince Xuan was a member of the royal family, his status seemed more noble.
"Prince Xuan, how do you think we should explain to Master Lin?" Ximen Jinglie glanced at the ministers, and his sharp eyes fell on Ximen Jingxuan.
He directly stated that he wanted to explain to Lin Bo, which shows his fear of this former friend, who is now the most powerful person outside the royal family.
Eight years ago, the 18-year-old Ximen Jingxuan became famous in the war, which allowed him to see the courage of the youngest prince of the late emperor. Today, he and Lin Bo stood side by side in the court. Regarding the same thorny issue, Ximen Jing had to say
Lie was afraid of Ximen Jingxuan. He was afraid that Ximen Jingxuan would act against Lin Bo in order to stand up for the prince, which would trigger a struggle between the northern and southern forces and eventually cause turmoil in the court.
As the king of a country, Ximen Jinglie is more concerned about the Qingyuan Dynasty.
"This time it is indeed the prince's fault." Ximen Jingxuan said and turned to Lin Bo, "But Taishi Lin, the prince has already rejected Miss Lin. Even if he marries Miss Lin again, it will be a gamble. In the future,
Miss Lin's life in the Prince's Mansion is not easy, is Taishi Lin willing to let Miss Lin face unpredictable misfortune in the future in order to erase the insult suffered by the Prince's Mansion yesterday?"
"What does Prince Xuan mean by this?" Lin Bo's bright eyes met Ximen Jingxuan.
Everyone could feel Lin Bo's determination to fight to the death. He did not personally propose to terminate the engagement, and it was impossible for him to back down under Prince Xuan's few words.
Ximen Jingxuan glanced at Lin Bo, who was secretly angry, his eyes flashing with his usual indifference.
"Ms. Lin was originally married to the crown prince by the emperor. Now I personally request the emperor to give Lin Xiner to my younger brother. My younger brother has never married a princess, so I ask the emperor to confer Lin Xiner on the throne.
I am the true concubine of Prince Xuan." Ximen Jingxuan looked straight ahead and cupped his hands to Ximen Jinglie.
As soon as Prince Xuan's words came out, everyone was stunned. Even Lin Bo could not recover for a moment.
No one expected that Prince Xuan would marry a woman who was rejected by the prince, and that woman was not a stunning beauty, but a cripple with a bad reputation. Even if she was the legitimate daughter of the Taishi Mansion, she would be a concubine.
It’s already very flattering, Prince Xuan would actually allow her to be his concubine!
"Grand Master Lin, would you like to exchange the king's principal concubine for the crown prince's concubine?" Ximen Jingxuan turned to Lin Bo, who was speechless for a moment.
Lin Bo naturally knew the importance of this concubine. Although she was not as attractive as the future emperor's woman, the title of Prince Xuan was comparable to that of the current emperor. The most important thing was to seize the moment, not to mention someone like Lin Xiner.
Under such conditions, it was unexpected to be able to become the royal concubine of Prince Xuan.
If Prince Xuan had married Lin Xin'er as his concubine and replaced his concubine with the main concubine, it would have been a brighter place on the lintel of the Grand Master's residence, and it would have been much brighter than that insignificant prince.
"Prince Xuan can think of my little daughter, I am very grateful." Lin Bo said to Ximen Jingxuan as he stepped down the steps.
"Okay, it's settled. On a good and auspicious day, Prince Xuan will visit the Grand Master's Mansion to marry Princess Xuan." Ximen Jinglie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the rules of the Qingyuan Dynasty, royal weddings do not need to come to the door in person, as long as they are waiting to receive them at the palace. Ximen Jingxuan specifically added this to show his sincerity to Lin Bo.
This time it gave Limbaugh enough face.
Having been with Lin Bo for decades, from being a good friend when he was a prince to being a respectful monarch, Ximen Jinglie had an unusual attitude towards the Grand Master who protected the country. Ximen Jinglie was afraid of the extremely important person Lin Bo was increasingly cultivating
He has the power, but he still misses the decades of friendship and wanders between friends and ministers to fight for power.
"My dear brother, I obey the decree." Ximen Jingxuan didn't care about the emperor's request. He still maintained his indifferent attitude and said with cupped hands.
