Chapter 108: In the previous life, I was forced to get involved in the struggle for the throne
But Xie Ruojiao was bewitched by him and would not marry anyone else.
"Jiaojiao, do you know that if you get involved in the fight for the crown prince, neither you nor the Northern Prince's Mansion will have a good ending!" Old Concubine Xie advised earnestly.
But by then, Xie Ruojiao had been deceived by Prince Duan's false feelings and believed his lies:
"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion regards us as a thorn in their side and has always wanted to suppress us. If the prince ascends the throne, our Xie family will really have a bad ending! Prince Duan and I are in love with each other. If the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely protect the Xie family."
She never understood the affairs of the court. Jiang Rong, who was listening at the time, knew that these words must have been taught to him by Prince Duan.
“Jiaojiao, even if Prince Duan really takes the throne, the excessive power of Prince Bei’s Mansion is not a good thing.” Old Concubine Xie shook her head and disagreed.
The Xie family is already extremely powerful.
Add to that the merit of following the dragon, and his achievements will be so great that they will shock the master.
Regarding the disputes among these princes, the best option for the Xie family is not to make any choice.
"Grandmother, don't worry. Prince Duan is kind and benevolent, and he loves me. If he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely make use of the Xie family and take care of and promote my third brother." Xie Ruojiao was full of confidence in Prince Duan.
Old Concubine Xie couldn't persuade her.
The grandparents and grandchildren are in a stalemate over the marriage...
Xie Ruojiao executed the order first and reported to the emperor later.
She fell into the lake, and Prince Duan jumped into the water to save her. The two hugged each other in public, and their reputations were ruined...
This was planned by her and Prince Duan.
In this case, if she was not allowed to marry Prince Duan, she would commit suicide to preserve her reputation.
The old empress dowager had to agree to her marrying into Prince Duan's mansion.
It was fine at first.
Prince Duan was well-known for doting on his wife Xie Ruojiao, and when he came to the Xie family, he acted like a good son-in-law.
It was impossible for him to draw a clear line between himself and Prince Duan after becoming his relative-in-law, and the other princes would not tolerate it either.
Old Concubine Xie is a person who makes decisions immediately. Since she has chosen, she will help Prince Duan to ascend to the throne!
result……
Later, the old prince was assassinated and the Xie family army was overthrown.
The Xie family fell into decline.
In the same year, Xie Ruojiao died of complications during childbirth.
That day, when the news of the death reached the Xie family, the old concubine fainted on the spot.
It was Jiang Rong who saw her off for the last time.
Xie Ruojiao was covered in blood, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The doctor said she took an extremely harmful abortion drug, which caused heavy bleeding and resulted in two deaths...
Prince Duan seemed furious, and killed all the maids who served Xie Ruojiao and buried them with him...
The following year, he married Dong Xiqin from the Yongning Marquisate.
Jiang Rong felt that Xie Ruojiao's death was too coincidental...
When the Xie family was defeated, she died.
Finally, after some investigation, it was found that since the destruction of the Xie family army, Prince Duan felt that the Xie family could not be relied on, so he immediately changed his target.
He had been hooking up with Dong Xiqin for a long time, and the two conspired to kill Xie Ruojiao...
Come to think of it, it was a coincidence that his first wife, Princess Duan, died.
Prince Duan's biological mother was just the daughter of an ordinary official family. She was made a concubine because of her contribution in giving birth to him.
He was able to compete with the Crown Prince and the King of England because he married the daughter of Taifu Ren, gained the support of Taifu Ren, and won over a group of civil officials in the court.
This year, Master Ren retired due to old age and illness...
The emperor ordered Taifu Shen to return to the capital and he took up the post of Taifu.
Not long after the emperor issued the decree, Princess Duan died of illness...
Prince Duan now has this group of civil officials in his hands. It doesn't matter whether there is a tutor or not, these civil officials of Prince Duan's party are already closely linked to his interests.
He just lacks support from the generals.
So, he chose Xie Ruojiao. After the Xie family lost power, he got rid of Xie Ruojiao and married Dong Xiqin...
Such a hypocritical and ruthless person!
"Thank you, Princess!" Murong Shili walked straight up to Jiang Rong and Xie Ruojiao.
He greeted Jiang Rong politely on the surface, but secretly kept an eye on Xie Ruojiao.
Every step and every line is carefully prepared with flowing elegance.
He had already sent people to find out more about Xie Ruojiao. He admired scholars and great talents the most...
To deal with such a woman, all you need to do is let her admire your talent...
Soon, it will be easy to get.
"I recently read Qianqiu, which is really a wonderful book. Senior Qianqiu is a great talent, and Mr. Juyin and Mr. Zhuke are also very talented..." Murong Shili smiled and praised:
"The book "Qian Qiu" is full of pearls and covers everything. Princess Xie really has a unique vision and a deep mind."
He used "Qian Qiu" as an excuse to strike up a conversation.
Praise everyone.
Jiang Rong's expression remained unchanged, but he was very alert in his heart, "Prince Duan, you are too kind."
When Xie Ruojiao heard someone praising Song Heng, her pretty face instantly lit up with a proud smile.
But in Murong Shili's eyes, Xie Ruojiao had a very good impression of him...
"Who is this...?" Murong Shili pretended that he had just seen Xie Ruojiao.
"I am the second young lady of the Xie family..." Xie Ruojiao responded generously, looking at him and said:
"You just praised Zhuke's article. What do you think is good about it?"
I want to hear how others praise Song Heng and learn from him.
Every time she praised Song Heng, her words were dry because she was at a loss for words.
Murong Shili was overjoyed. Xie Ruojiao was testing his talent!
If I can show my talent, she will surely admire me.
So Murong Shili began to talk freely:
"Zhu Ke's writing style is sharp and he has a sentiment for the country and the people. In one article, he uncovered the Jinxiu Cloth Shop case. He must be a talented person who cares about the country and the people."
"Well said!" Xie Ruojiao clapped her hands in approval. I've learned it! I'll write it down quickly! I'll recite it to Song Heng tomorrow!
Murong Shili was even more proud. He had only briefly put forward some opinions, and Xie Ruojiao was convinced...
After praising, he has to criticize to show that his level is higher.
"However, his writing is too weak, and his words are simple and straightforward. I heard that he is just a scholar, so it is understandable that his choice of words and sentences are slightly inferior."
Xie Ruojiao's originally happy smile froze.
You are weak in writing!
It is simple and straightforward because it is for the common people. Who can understand those complicated and arduous words?
Xie Ruojiao wanted to retort to him, but because he was a prince, she held her words back.
She was naturally not afraid of offending Prince Duan...
But if she scolded the prince for Song Heng, Prince Duan would be so angry that he dared not to trouble her, but he could trouble Song Heng.
In order not to cause trouble for Song Heng, Xie Ruojiao kept silent.
"I think Zhuke's article is very good." Jiang Rong frowned and looked at Prince Duan.
"I wonder if Prince Duan has anything else to say? My second sister and I have something to do."
Seeing Xie Ruojiao and Prince Duan chatting happily...
The alarm bells in Jiang Rong's heart were ringing wildly.
"No problem, both of you please." Murong Shili smiled. He was very satisfied with the deep impression he left on Xie Ruojiao during his first appearance.
Jiang Rong took Xie Ruojiao and turned to leave.
Now that the palace banquet has not yet begun, everyone can walk around in this garden...
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Sister-in-law, this Prince Duan is really blind! Don't those civil officials praise him for his talent? I think he is shallow and ignorant!" Xie Ruojiao said angrily.
