Chapter 143 How Can I Become the Prince of Ning’s Concubine?

Zhao Yun said, "Oh? Brother Jing and cousin Wei are a match made in heaven, with talent and beauty. Father, why don't you help them get together?"

His Majesty touched the jade ring on his thumb and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what Wei Xi means? The Queen will ask Wei Xi about this matter. If Wei Xi agrees to this marriage, I will arrange a marriage for you two."

Zhao Jing knelt down and bowed deeply, saying, "I thank my uncle the Emperor for granting me the marriage."

His Majesty said: "You all should leave now."

Gu Yan bowed and took his leave. When he and Zhao Jing walked out of the palace together, he saw Zhao Jing looking at him with an unfriendly look.

Gu Yan didn't take the unfriendly look to heart. He felt that he had done nothing wrong to Zhao Jing.

When Queen Wei heard Wei Xi's words, she was stunned for a moment, "Xi'er, you said you like Zhao Jing, are you serious?"

Wei Xi nodded and said, "Yes."

Queen Wei smiled softly and said, "You finally got it. You are no longer obsessed with marrying Yan'er. I will discuss this with His Majesty later. If Prince Chu has no objection, I will ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage with Zhao Jing."

"So my cousin also has this intention." Zhao Yun came in from outside and bowed to Queen Wei, saying, "Mother."

Queen Wei smiled faintly and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Yun said: "Zhao Jing just told my father that he loves my cousin. My father asked me to come and ask what my cousin feels. I didn't expect that it was really consensual."

Queen Wei smiled and held Wei Xi's hand, saying, "That's really great. Yun'er, you can ask your father to issue the imperial decree to grant the marriage."

Zhao Yun agreed.

When Queen Wei saw Zhao Yun was about to leave, she asked again, "Wait, how is Zhenzhu?"

Zhao Yun said, "She is doing well. Jingyu has been checking her pulse these days. Don't worry, mother."

Queen Wei said: "Her health is a matter of great importance now. You should treat her better on weekdays. Her health is prone to worry now. You should not be busy with state affairs. You should also take good care of her."

Zhao Yun responded, "Yes, mother."

After Zhao Yun left, Wei Yu also bowed and took his leave.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, the wife of Duke Weiguo hurriedly caught up with Wei Xi and said, "Xi'er, are you crazy? Why do you want to marry Zhao Jing when you are fine?"

"The King of Chu's mother killed your Majesty's mother. The King of Chu was not favored by the Grand Emperor before, and the Crown Prince of Chu was not favored by your Majesty. Your Majesty originally wanted Zhao Jing to marry Princess Xiwan. Why did you choose Zhao Jing when you could have found any other husband?"

Wei Xi made a silencing gesture to the wife of Duke Wei, "Mother, this is in the palace, you can't talk nonsense!"

Lady Weiguo frowned, "But..."

Wei Xi said: "Mother, marrying Zhao Jing may not be a bad thing."

The prince and Gu Yan both allowed themselves to be degraded and married daughters of merchants and slaves.

Ye Wanhe was going too far. A mere palace maid took away her identity as the eldest daughter of the Wei family. Wei Xi naturally could not tolerate this.

Wei Xi must not watch the two sisters Yun Xiangye and Ye Wanhe being too proud. Now that Zhao Jing is in trouble to marry Princess Xiwan, she might as well help Zhao Jing.

When she becomes the Crown Princess of Chu and the King of Chu marries the Wei family, it will not be difficult to deal with the two sisters.

As soon as Gu Yan returned home, Xie Zhixuan called him to the main courtyard.

Xie Zhixuan looked at Gu Yan unhappily and said, "It's been so long, why are you so useless and still haven't managed to coax Xiangye? You've made her decide to divorce you?"

Gu Yan frowned and said, "I have tried everything, but she insisted on getting a divorce. I don't know if she really pissed me off and made me sick. What good is that for her?"

Xie Zhixuan asked, "Who told you to keep your identity a secret from her for three years?"

Gu Yan said: "I really think this identity is not important..."

Xie Zhixuan took a deep breath and said, "She is now willing to let go of Nuonuo and divorce you. She has made up her mind. Don't make it difficult for her. Just follow her wishes and divorce. If life in our house was easy, she would not be willing to let go of Nuonuo and divorce you."

"Mom, I don't want a divorce." Gu Yan said, "If I divorce her, I will definitely be labeled as someone who despises my wife."

Xie Zhixuan frowned slightly and said, "You don't want to divorce, but you're just afraid of being criticized?"

Gu Yan said: "And Nuonuo... Nuonuo is still so young after all. If her parents divorce, it will inevitably hurt her in the future."

Xie Zhixuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "Don't you feel reluctant to leave Xiangye at all?"

Gu Yan paused for a moment and said, "Yes, I miss Xiangye in Jiangnan. You don't know that she was not like this before.

She never made trouble with me in Jiangnan before. In Yongxing City, she was a gentle and considerate wife and mother.

She would make clothes for me, massage my neck when I was exhausted from handling official business, and sometimes tell me about the interesting things she encountered in the embroidery workshop, saying that Nuonuo could turn over and sit up, and grow teeth.

It's nothing like now, where she would be aggressive and aggressive after just a few words, and would even start fighting from time to time, asking for a divorce, ah!"

Xie Zhixuan asked: "Is it possible that in Xiangye's eyes, the husband she had in Jiangnan was not the husband she has now?"

Gu Yan frowned slightly and said: "Mother..."

Xie Zhixuan said: "I don't care about what's going on between you two. There is only one thing, if you really want to divorce, Nuonuo must follow Xiangye."

"Why?" Gu Yan said, "Nuonuo is also my daughter. If Yun Xiangye still has Nuonuo in her heart, she won't divorce me for Nuonuo!"

Xie Zhixuan said: "After ten months of pregnancy, no one in this world can treat a child better than a mother."

Gu Yan frowned, "What about you? I think you are more like Yun Xiangye's biological mother. Why are you always helping her?"

Xie Zhixuan said angrily, "Isn't it because I help her that I help you? Xiangye is also a poor child."

Gu Yan said, "How can she be pitiful? Am I not more pitiful than her? Just because I kept my identity a secret from her for three years... She never asked me about my origins. It's not that I deliberately lied to her. She never asked me in these three years."

Xie Zhixuan frowned and looked at Gu Yan and said, "No wonder she wanted to divorce you."

In late March, the prince's wedding day was getting closer.

The business of the Wuse Embroidery Workshop gradually improved.

Yun Xiangye hadn't been to the embroidery workshop for several days. When she arrived at the embroidery room early this morning, several embroiderers looked at her with different expressions.

Yun Xiangye touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

One of the embroiderers said, "Master, it doesn't matter if that girl is divorced. After all, you still have a daughter. She can at least become the concubine of Prince Ning."

"Yes, at least you have a daughter. Even if Prince Ning wants to divorce you from your position as Crown Prince's Consort, he will still give you a position as Crown Prince's Consort."

"What?" Yun Xiangye asked in confusion, "Why is it that Prince Ning wants to divorce me?"

It is obvious that she wants to divorce Gu Yan now.
