Chapter 124 Inviting the King of Qin

After Pei Jingyuan suffered several consecutive failures and suffered the consequences, he really didn't dare to use poisoning to deal with Pei Jingchuan again this time.

Anyway, he hadn't heard that Pei Jingchuan's poison was cured after a year, so he should just wait for the opportunity with peace of mind! As for the third prince, if he couldn't get through, he could only consider joining the sixth prince.

At the same time, the Sixth Prince was no longer as calm as before. After learning that the Eighth Prince was named King of Qin by the Emperor, he became anxious.

Even his grandfather and some of his supporters in the court had proposed to the emperor to make him a king many times, but the emperor always found various reasons to refuse. He and Concubine Ru began to suspect that the emperor had never considered them as a candidate for the throne.

Now the King of Qin has gradually gained the emperor's favor, and he is the son of the woman that their father loved most back then, which makes them feel a huge sense of crisis.

Originally, they were hoping that the Third Prince would be able to deal with the King of Qin, but who knew that the Third Prince was so useless. Not only did he fail to deal with the King of Qin, but he also got his own princess involved. How could they remain calm now? They had to step out from the shadows and step onto the stage.

——Yishou Palace——

Concubine Ru sat on a pearwood chair, looked at the Sixth Prince sitting opposite her and asked, "Rui'er, how are your birthday party preparations going? Have you sent out an invitation to the King of Qin?"

The Sixth Prince replied, "Mother, I have asked Yue'er to prepare for the banquet, and she is also responsible for the list of invitations. Yue'er, have you sent the invitation to the King of Qin?"

After the Sixth Prince finished speaking, he looked at the Sixth Prince's wife beside him with an inquiring look.

The Sixth Prince's wife looked a little embarrassed, and said to the Sixth Prince and Concubine Ru: "My husband, mother, this invitation list was prepared half a month ago. At that time, the King of Qin had not yet been crowned king and was not favored, so we didn't... didn't send it to him."

"Stupid! There are still a few days before the birthday, why don't you just send another one to him?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Ru frowned and scolded, with dissatisfaction clearly on her face.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince's wife could only nod cautiously and said, "Yes! Mother, I understand! I'll have someone send her off when we get back."

Originally, she looked down on the King of Qin, thinking that he was just a prince who was disliked by the emperor and had no future at all. Moreover, she never saw the Sixth Prince interacting with him, and their relationship was not close. Therefore, even after he was crowned as the King, the Sixth Prince's wife never thought of sending him an invitation.

"By the way, Yue'er, do you have any obedient sister in your family who can be controlled? A concubine's daughter will do." Suddenly, Concubine Ru asked the Sixth Prince's wife again.

"I do have two half sisters, one is fourteen years old, and the other is only seven years old. My mother is very good at managing the harem, so my half sisters and my father's concubines all listen to my mother, and no one dares to challenge her." The Sixth Prince's wife said honestly to Concubine Ru.

"What does your fourteen-year-old half-sister look like?" Concubine Ru asked with interest.

"She's pretty, a potential beauty. Now my mother is considering arranging a marriage for her. She's looking for a family that can help the family." The Sixth Prince's wife realized that Concubine Ru might be planning to take advantage of her half-sister, and she suddenly became nervous. She and the Sixth Prince have been married for two years, and now they have only one daughter. Could it be that Concubine Ru is going to take a concubine for her husband?

She was thinking anxiously in her heart, but when she heard Concubine Ru's next words, her heart suddenly settled down.

I saw that the corner of Concubine Ru's mouth curled up the slightest smile and said, "Tell your mother not to discuss it for the time being. I want to match your concubine sister with the King of Qin. Now, the King of Qin has no wives or concubines. Let your concubine sister marry the King of Qin and become the Sixth Prince's internal support. When the Sixth Prince ascends the throne in the future, your family will naturally benefit greatly."

On the other hand, when the King of Qin received the invitation to the Sixth Prince’s birthday party, the Duke of Ying’s Mansion also received it.

The Duke's wife called Xu Qingyan and Pei Jinyu to her room and asked earnestly, "Jinyu, Qingyan, have you made new clothes recently? The Sixth Prince's birthday party will be held in a few days, and our Duke Ying's Mansion has also received an invitation. I heard that Concubine Ru will also be there, and I believe that many young men and women in the capital will be there. Especially Jinyu, you must dress up well that day, meet more people at the party, and see if there are any young men you like. You can tell mother then."

"Mother, are you trying to show me your fortune? No... I don't want to." After Pei Jinyu understood the Duke's wife's thoughts, she immediately objected and refused.

Ever since what happened with Lin Yanbang, she is now quite disgusted with men, especially those who look gentle and elegant.

The Duke's wife glared at Pei Jinyu and said, "Nonsense, you are already fifteen, why can't you meet someone? Have you forgotten the Third Prince? If your marriage is not settled, aren't you afraid that the Third Prince will continue to target you? Don't forget that the Third Prince's mansion is in need of a wife. What if he wants to marry you back for revenge? What should we do?"

"Mother! But...but I just don't want to look for him! I can just hide from the Third Prince when I go out in the future, isn't that okay?" Pei Jinyu refused with a pout.

At this time, Xu Qingyan asked the Duke's wife, "Mother, will His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin also attend the Sixth Prince's birthday party?"

After hearing this, the Duke's wife was stunned for a moment, then said, "Logically speaking, he should go, but I don't know whether the Sixth Prince's Mansion has sent him an invitation."

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but frowned and thought: [Since ancient times, there has never been a good banquet. Now the Eighth Prince has been named the King of Qin, and the Third Prince has been punished by the Emperor. At this time, the King of Qin is in the limelight, and the Sixth Prince must be unable to sit still. This Concubine Ru is the real enemy of the King of Qin, and she will definitely not let him go. If I am not mistaken, the King of Qin will be invited to this banquet. I just don't know how they will deal with the King of Qin. We have finally made the Third Prince fall out of favor and let the King of Qin gain the emperor's guilty respect. We can't let him be harmed again. After all, the Sixth Prince is not a good guy either. If he cooperates with Pei Jingyuan, then Daxia will probably be in trouble again, and I will have no good days. ]

Pei Jinyu, who was still resisting, was suddenly stunned. Her face wrinkled into a ball, and she thought: What? The Sixth Prince also wants to harm the King of Qin?

When the Duke's wife saw her daughter's expression, she immediately understood her daughter's thoughts. She didn't want Pei Jinyu to suffer after marrying into the royal family, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Forget it, Jinyu should not go. Stay at home."

"No! Mother, I want to go!" This time Pei Jinyu disagreed. She wanted to go see King Qin.

After hearing this, the Duke's wife frowned and said, "No, Jinyu, you just stay at home. I will find out about your marriage for you later, and then give you the portraits of those men. You can choose first. If you are satisfied, I will arrange for you to meet them."

Seeing that the two were about to have a conflict, Xu Qingyan immediately said to the Duke's wife, "Mother, you should let Jinyu go, otherwise she will be bored at home alone."

[The King of Qin is a rare good man. If he could be with Jin Yu, he would definitely risk his life to protect Jin Yu. You know, among the royal family with three wives and four concubines, the King of Qin is the only one who has no concubines! This time, Concubine Ru wanted to force a woman on the King of Qin. If Jin Yu didn't go, the King of Qin would have to take advantage of other women! ]
