Chapter 101 Gift Giving
The Third Prince's wife was shocked when she heard this: What! He actually wants to marry Pei Jinyu as his principal wife! Then what is she? She is not dead yet!
The Third Prince's wife looked at the Third Prince, who was showing a smug look on his face, in astonishment, and said, "My husband, don't you already have me as your principal wife? Pei Jinyu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, how could she marry in again? The Duke of Ying's Mansion will definitely not agree to this!"
The Third Prince looked at her with some disgust and said, "Now, you have become a disabled person. If I ascend to a high position in the future, do you think the queen can be a disabled person? I did not divorce you, which is a great favor to you. If I marry Pei Jinyu, then you will definitely be demoted to a concubine. I believe that your father and others will not disagree with your current appearance!"
The Third Prince's Consort was the daughter of a chief priest of the Imperial Academy. At first, he and his mother did not want to marry her, but it was the will of the late Empress Dowager. The late Empress Dowager had a good relationship with the wife of the chief priest of the Imperial Academy, so she arranged for him to marry the Third Prince's Consort.
Now, the former Queen Mother has passed away long ago, and the Third Prince's wife's brothers are not very ambitious, and she herself has a disabled arm, so the Third Prince naturally does not take her seriously.
The Third Prince's wife sat on the ground dejectedly, her heart suddenly felt cold, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly. She didn't expect that the Third Prince actually wanted to demote her to a concubine! From now on, wouldn't she be inferior to Pei Jinyu? In this way, she would become a joke in the entire circle of noble ladies in the imperial city!
"This prince is not familiar with Pei Jinyu, and I have no excuse to ask her out, so I leave this matter to you. Don't you like hosting banquets? Then hold a few more and invite Pei Jinyu to your house to create an opportunity for this prince to meet her. If this prince can successfully marry her, I will make you a concubine when I ascend the throne in the future!" Just when the third prince's wife was sad, the third prince's voice came again.
The Third Prince's wife felt humiliated upon hearing this. Her palms were about to bleed, but thinking of the pain she had just felt from being beaten, she endured it and could only nod and agree, "Yes, I understand."
Now, she is missing an arm, and is indeed a disabled person. The royal family definitely does not allow a disabled person to be the queen, so she can only endure it now. When the third prince succeeds in the future and she gives birth to a son, she will still have the opportunity to become the queen mother. Since she cannot become the queen, she will change her goal to the queen mother. The queen mother is the most noble woman in the world. If she becomes the queen mother, will she still care about the position of queen?
——The next day——
Early in the morning, the King of Qin took several carts of things and headed for the Duke's Mansion. Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention, and some people even thought that he was going to propose marriage.
When the Duke of England learned that the King of Qin was coming, he called out all the people in the palace to welcome him, unlike in the past.
——Lobby of the Duke's Mansion——
"Duke, these are the gifts I sent to the Duke's Mansion to thank you and Miss Pei for helping me. I feel very sorry for causing Miss Pei to get into conflict with others to help me."
The King of Qin wore an indigo-colored dragon robe with a cloud pattern and a gold cloud pattern belt around his waist. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a slender figure. He stood there proudly and independently, causing many women in the Duke's Mansion to flutter their hearts, especially the unmarried daughters and concubines of the second house.
The King of Qin looked at the Duke of England calmly, and did not dare to look at Pei Jinyu even once, for fear of being misunderstood.
Now, he and Pei Jinyu were not engaged, so he had to say that the gifts were sent to the Duke's Mansion. He could only say that he was grateful to her because he didn't want to ruin her reputation. His future was not yet determined. Being in this imperial power, he was not sure whether he could succeed in the future. Before the overall situation was determined, he didn't want to implicate her.
On the other hand, Pei Jinyu was looking at King Qin with a smile on her face. She was really happy for him in her heart.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. This is what we should do. Why did you send so many gifts? It's really a waste of money." Duke Ying invited the King of Qin to sit down. After taking a glance at the gifts, he said: This is really a lot. The King of Qin had just returned to the capital not long ago. He could guess that these were probably gifts from the Emperor. Moreover, how could he not hear the King of Qin's roundabout words? He actually wanted to give these things to Jin Yu!
After the servants received the things, the Duke of England asked the people in the mansion to prepare a sumptuous lunch to entertain the King of Qin. There was still some time before the meal, so he took the King of Qin and Pei Jingchuan to take a walk in the garden.
"Father, brother, I want to go to the garden with you too." Seeing Pei Jingchuan and the others were going to the garden, Pei Jinyu also came over with a smile.
Xu Qingyan followed Pei Jingchuan enthusiastically, and could not help but speculate and analyze, [Hey... I want to go too! But now, the King of Qin is in the limelight, and the Duke and the husband must want to talk to him about family and national affairs, and want to ask him if he has any plans to seize the throne. Now, the Duke of Ying has already stood on the ship of the King of Qin in the eyes of outsiders. They must also think that no matter whether the third or sixth prince succeeds in the future, they will definitely not end up well. Therefore, the Duke and the others plan to see what kind of character the King of Qin has, whether he has any plans to seize the throne, and whether he wants to stand with him completely! I also want to see what the King of Qin is planning! If the King of Qin decides to seize the throne, then Pei Jingyuan and the others' plans will definitely be messed up. I just don't know if this story will be completely changed. ]
Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said, "Father, let Jinyu and Qingyan go together! They are also familiar with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and I believe His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin should not mind."
When the King of Qin heard him mentioned, he smiled and said, "Young Master is right. I have already considered them my friends."
So, they went to the garden of the Duke's Mansion together.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, you are the first prince to be crowned king. You stand out from the crowd, and perhaps you will encounter more troubles in the future. I wonder what plans you have for the future?" When they walked to the back garden and there were no outsiders around, the Duke of England looked at the Prince of Qin seriously and asked.
The King of Qin looked at the Duke of Ying and replied, "As a prince, I naturally have the same qualifications as my other brothers. They have worked hard for it, and so have I."
The King of Qin thought: I will fight for the throne! Otherwise, when his brothers take the throne, what will he do in the future? He had understood this truth when he was enfeoffed. He was never an idle prince, but he just suffered from not having the opportunity in the past.
Xu Qingyan, who was standing by, could not help but sigh in her heart when she heard this: [This Prince Qin has always been a black lotus. He has a deep hatred in his heart that he wants to avenge! He has always suspected that when he fell into the water, it was someone deliberately framed him, with the purpose of harming his mother and him. He came back this time to take revenge! Now, without the obstruction of Pei Jingyuan, the benefactor, I believe that the Prince Qin will definitely be a dark horse. As long as he is willing, I believe he will rise straight to the top. ]
Upon hearing this, Duke Yingguo and Pei Jingchuan could not help but look at each other in surprise. Was there any hidden story behind Concubine Yun's death?
