In the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Nan Zhao looked at the crying woman in front of him with a painful expression.
"Alright, stop crying. I'm not an irresponsible person. When I marry my first wife, I'll take you in as my concubine. Now go back."
Ning Yao stood up and said softly.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Actually, I don't care whether I am a concubine or not. I have admired Your Highness for a long time. As long as I can stay by Your side, I am willing to be a maidservant."
At this time, the servant came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you to the palace."
Nan Zhao straightened her clothes a little and hurried towards the palace.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Yu Chen gently asked him to stand up.
"Okay, sit down. There's no need for all this empty formalities between you and me."
"I still remember when we were young, we went to school together, skipped school together, and sneaked out of the palace to play together. Those were the happiest days of my youth. Even though I was beaten and scolded by my father every day, I still felt very happy."
"It's a pity that they are all gone now. Now the only relatives who stay with me are you and Yanyan."
Nan Zhao poured him a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, do not be sad. The princess and I will always be by your side. Your Majesty will never be alone."
Yu Chen looked at him seriously.
"I know you will always be my closest family. No matter what happens in the future, there must be no rift between us. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we should still be family, okay?"
Nan Zhao's heart skipped a beat.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"I'm going to find a husband for Yanyan. You're older than Yanyan, so I'll grant you the marriage first."
"Do you have someone you like? What about Miss Ning?"
Nan Zhao immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ning and I... I was drunk that night, and I was confused and did it with her... But from the beginning to the end, my heart has only been with Your Highness the Princess. I beg Your Majesty to grant us this."
Yuchen helped him up personally.
"Nan Zhao, you and I grew up together and went through hardships together. Why wouldn't I wish you could become my brother-in-law?"
"If you marry Yanyan, what are you going to do with Miss Ning?"
Nan Zhao lowered his head.
"I have promised to take her as my concubine."
Yu Chen nodded meaningfully.
"Since you like her, how can you let her be a concubine? If you like her, you should marry her as your principal wife and not let her suffer any injustice."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I will grant you marriage in a moment. Just go back home and wait."
Nan Zhao walked out of the palace in a daze, and soon the imperial decree granting him and Ning Yao's marriage arrived at the palace.
In order not to worry her brother, Yu Qingyan still recruited a prince consort.
The system saw that the host had chosen a sickly prince consort, and quickly flattered him:
"Host, the Prince Consort is actually a good person. He is tall and handsome. Apart from his poor health, there is nothing wrong with him."
The son-in-law's surname is Shangguan, and his given name is Jing. The Shangguan family is just an ordinary merchant family, and Shangguan Jing is the second son of the mansion.
He had been weak and sickly since childhood and could only rely on precious herbs to stay alive, so that the Shangguan family, which was originally a relatively wealthy merchant family, became a poor merchant family today.
By recruiting him as a son-in-law, I can provide him with precious herbs, and with him around, I can also avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Today is the day of the Emperor and Empress' wedding, and the streets are lined with onlookers.
Not long after they got married, Yu Qingyan's wedding was approaching.
Just the day before Yu Qingyan's wedding, Nan Zhao found her.
"Does the princess really want to recruit Shangguan Jing as her consort?"
"Of course, I quite like him. Did the prince come to bless us in advance?"
Nan Zhao tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Princess, you said you would marry me as your legal husband, but now you're going to keep silent?"
"It's just a joke, Your Highness, why should you take it seriously?"
Tianshou, I was just joking with him back then, didn't he know? Now wouldn't it be good enough to let him be with his sweetheart? Why do you act like a heartless person?
"Princess, please don't ask for Shangguan Jing, okay? I'll be your consort. I won't be a prince anymore. From now on, I'll only be your consort, okay?"
Yu Qingyan refused sternly.
"No, you are a prince of a country. How can you abandon your status and the burden you bear?"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen to Miss Ning if you became a prince consort?"
Nan Zhao casually said that he would take her as a concubine.
"Just take her as a concubine. I never thought of marrying her as a concubine."
"At that time, I thought that after welcoming you into my family, I would take her in as a concubine, give her a small courtyard, and provide her with food and clothing. She wouldn't get in the way of us."
"Now, it's okay for me to enter the princess's mansion. You just need to arrange a small courtyard for her and provide her with food and clothing every day."
Okay, after listening to what he said, there is really no need for me to continue chatting with him.
"Your Highness, you're joking. I really like Master Shangguan, and he will be my only prince consort."
"You must also treat Miss Ning well. After all, she is your wife. Don't say such ambiguous words in the future."
The wedding day soon arrived. Shangguan Jing sat gracefully in the sedan chair, his face filled with happiness.
He didn't care what outsiders thought or said. He didn't feel ashamed to be a prince consort. Outsiders were just jealous of him.
In the main hall, a newlywed couple was worshipping heaven and earth. Nan Zhao kept staring at Shangguan Jing, as if she wanted to stare a hole in him.
Shangguan Jing simply ignored his gaze and continued to worship happily.
Yu Qingyan also ignored him. There was nothing between them in the first place, and she had a clear conscience towards him.
