Chapter 309: The Heart Suddenly Feels Empty
The wedding banquet was very grand.
Because the prince was happy, three more dishes were added to the table.
A happy reunion.
Live in harmony and beauty.
May you have a baby soon.
Even though Ji Wu had not made any preparations beforehand, it did not prevent today's wedding banquet from being so shocking.
When the old lady of Wu'an Marquis presented the sword named Qingying to the bride in public, the shocking atmosphere reached its climax.
Everyone gasped, even the Crown Prince and the Eleventh Prince's expressions changed when they saw this.
The Crown Prince heard from the Queen that the reason the Wu'an Marquisate was still standing here was because of this sword. Otherwise, when the old Marquis passed away, the Wu'an Marquisate would have to move out of the capital.
The Eleventh Prince also heard from Concubine Ning that although Madam Ji was old, as long as she did not commit any serious mistakes, even the Emperor could not touch her, because she was the only woman in the entire Great Qi Kingdom with military merits.
His Majesty cannot kill her. If she dies, it will chill the hearts of all women in the world.
And this sword named Qingying is the evidence of her going to the battlefield that year.
This sword was originally a precious sword that could cut through iron like mud, but now there are many cuts on the blade, and some of the cuts are even curled up, making it worse than an ordinary sword.
But these cuts are the evidence that Madam Ji killed the enemy. The sword has pierced the enemy's bones and cut off the heads of enemy generals.
As soon as the Qingying Sword came out, everything here was decided. What Old Madam Ji meant was that the Crown Prince's Consort named Lin Qingjun was the person she was protecting, and that sword was her, Lin Qingjun's, amulet.
The wedding banquet lasted until night.
The gentlemen raised their glasses and drank happily, without any displeasure at all because of Ji Wu's methods. Of course, it was also because Ji Chenchuan treated them well. They could easily eat what they wanted to eat on weekdays, and they could drink the fine wine that the ladies usually did not give them to drink to their heart's content here.
Their appetites are satisfied, what else could they be dissatisfied with?
"My prince said that the food and wine at the Marquis of Wu'an's residence might not suit the Crown Prince and the Eleventh Prince's tastes. Please go back."
"Oh, by the way, my prince also said that if there is nothing important, don't come to our house. He said he wants to go on a honeymoon."
Although Qingshan Lushui didn't know what a honeymoon meant, judging from the prince's handsome face that was glowing with pride, it must be a very good thing.
The prince's face turned pale, he snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
The Eleventh Prince's mouth also twitched.
Zong Yuancheng said, "Your prince doesn't want us to attend his wedding or interact with us. Do you know what the consequences will be if he breaks off relations with us like this?"
The two of them are in high positions and have great power, especially Zong Yuanji. He is the crown prince. Of course, he should not be underestimated. He is the only one among all the princes who can compete with the crown prince for the throne.
In other words, from now on, the Great Qi Kingdom will belong to either Zong Yuanji or Zong Yuancheng. They're already busy trying to curry favor with the other, but Ji Chenchuan is actually pushing them away? Is he crazy?
The green mountains and green waters also answered honestly.
"My prince said that once you sit in that position, it won't be too late to curry favor with me."
this?
Zong Yuancheng secretly vomited blood. What he meant was that whether they could be pleased by him would depend on their own abilities in the future?
"This Ji Chenchuan is still the same as when he was a kid, just as hateful."
"Okay, if he doesn't want to please us, then has he asked Lin Qingjun? He has the courage to talk to us, but Lin Qingjun doesn't, right?"
Ji Chenchuan is a monster. When everyone tries to please them, he refuses to do so. He even goes against their wishes and plots against them. Doesn't he take them seriously at all?
However, there is only one Ji Chenchuan in this world.
What about Lin Qingjun?
She couldn't be that bold, that foolish, could she? She was a woman, and a concubine's daughter. She was probably too busy trying to please them. They weren't Ji Wu. If she had just a little bit of intelligence, she would have known what to do.
Qingshan Lushui asked suspiciously, "Didn't we just tell you that all this was ordered by the Crown Prince's Consort?"
What?
Zong Yuancheng was petrified on the spot and couldn't react for a long time. Was all this Lin Qingjun's idea?
"That's impossible. She's just a woman, a concubine's daughter at that. How could she possibly say that she wants to drive me and the Crown Prince away?"
Qingshan Lushui was a little annoyed. What the Eleventh Prince said made it seem as if he knew their Crown Prince's Consort very well?
They said, "Eleventh Prince, whether you can tell or not, we have already told you. You'd better leave quickly. The Crown Princess said that if you don't leave, we will ask you to invite Concubine Ning."
After saying that, Qingshan Lushui turned around and told the doorman to close the door, completely locking the shocked Zong Yuancheng outside.
Zong Yuancheng rushed forward, but stopped after taking only two steps. He stared blankly at the tall gate of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. The two festive lanterns made the gate even more majestic.
His brows were furrowed, his fingers were clenched, and his heart was churning. It was not until the person sent by Concubine Ning called him from behind that he turned around and left with reluctance.
Concubine Ning had been waiting for him in the Eleventh Prince's mansion.
Seeing his distraught look, Concubine Ning felt that it was a very good thing for the concubine's daughter to get married off.
She said, "Now that things have come to this, don't think about it anymore."
He asked, "Mother, it was you who sent the portrait of Lin Qingjun to Zong Yuanji, right?"
She replied, "So what?"
He smiled bitterly, "That is to say, no matter what, you don't want me to marry Lin Qingjun?"
Lin Qingjun can be the prince's woman, or Ji Chenchuan's, but not his, right?
Concubine Ning didn't avoid his red eyes and answered, "Yes."
Concubine Ning continued calmly, "I despise that woman, not only because she's a concubine's daughter and unworthy of my son, but also because she's extremely beautiful. I know a man's weaknesses. He's irresistible to beautiful women. Cheng'er, if I were given another chance, I would still do the same. She can marry anyone, but she can't be my son's woman. My son will never be that foolish man who ruined everything because of a woman. Your father is the best example of that."
What Concubine Ning said was cruel and ruthless, and even outrageous. She even mocked the emperor.
Zong Yuancheng hadn't let go yet, "But mother, what if Lin Qingjun isn't just beautiful? What if she's also smart, bold, and resourceful?"
What happened today is enough to explain everything about Lin Qingjun. She is stronger and smarter than any other woman, and she is not afraid of him and the prince, which is even more commendable.
Concubine Ning smiled cruelly, "Then she can't be your woman, because a beautiful, smart, and resourceful woman is also very ambitious. What's the matter? Do you want to find a difficult daughter-in-law for me?"
Zong Yuancheng didn't say anything, but he felt as if his heart suddenly became empty.
