Concubine Xian was going crazy.

What did she hear? The emperor actually thought the girl named Jiang was good!

A girl who had broken off an engagement and came from an ordinary family was placed in the position of princess, and he actually thought it was good?

Bad luck, the girl with the surname Jiang is definitely bad luck!

Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Jingming with a very subtle look.

There were rumors back then that the emperor wanted to bring Su into the palace, and it turned out to be true.

Emperor Jingming frowned.

What kind of look was that in Concubine Xian's eyes? Did she think that he was blinded by her beauty?

He is that kind of person. He is just a father who can tolerate his son being blinded by beauty.

After all, who hasn’t been young?

"Your Majesty may not know that Miss Jiang from the Duke of Dongping's Mansion was once engaged to the son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, but the engagement was broken off at the beginning of last year..."

Emperor Jingming said calmly, "Well, I know about this matter. Miss Jiang's decision to cancel the engagement was just your nephew's nonsense."

Concubine Xian paused, pursed her lips and said, "Although the Seventh Prince grew up outside the palace, he is still a prince. How can he marry a woman who has been divorced as his princess?"

Emperor Jingming said indifferently, "Breaking off an engagement is not a big deal. The empress of our ancestors was once married and even had two children with her ex-husband. Didn't they work together to create a prosperous era and become a legend?"

The ancestor mentioned by Emperor Jingming was Emperor Fengde, the third emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

When Emperor Fengde was still in the Qian Mansion, he took a fancy to a maid who had just sold herself into the palace and took her in as a concubine.

This maid was originally married. Her family fled to the capital, but they could not survive, so her husband sold her to the prince's palace.

It was destined that this maidservant had an amazing fortune. Emperor Fengde took a liking to her and doted on her like a treasure. From then on, no new person entered the backyard.

Later, the crown prince died, and Emperor Fengde became the new crown prince. When he ascended the throne, his wife had died two years before, and the position of empress was temporarily vacant.

After that, no matter how the officials advised him, Emperor Fengde refused to take a second wife. Three years later, when he had control over the court, he directly announced that he would make the maid his empress.

At that time, the voices of opposition were overwhelming, and several censors who tried to persuade him were killed. However, Emperor Fengde remained unmoved and even resolutely executed two censors.

All officials fell silent, and no one dared to raise any objection to the maidservant becoming queen.

After that, the country prospered and entered a peaceful and prosperous era. Gradually, people only praised the emperor and empress, and no one mentioned the empress's background anymore.

What is even more amazing is that the Queen's ex-husband got a leisurely job, and her two children with her ex-husband also have bright futures.

Of course, Concubine Xian knew about this strange story which happened over a hundred years ago.

Seeing that Emperor Jingming brought up this paragraph to prevaricate, Concubine Xian raised her eyes slightly and said, "How is this different--"

There is only one pure-looking queen in this world, how can a girl named Jiang compare to her?

Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "It's different. Miss Jiang is at least not married yet. My beloved concubine, choosing a princess for the seventh prince is not like choosing a crown princess. As long as he likes her, that's enough..."

Concubine Xian's face turned blue, and her lips trembled with anger: "Your Majesty, I absolutely do not want the Seventh Prince to marry such a woman as his princess—"

The sudden gloomy expression on Emperor Jingming's face made Concubine Xian subconsciously stop what she was about to say.

She hadn't lost her composure like this in a long time. It was because the actions of this father and son were becoming more and more shocking, making it difficult for her to control herself.

"My beloved concubine despises Miss Jiang. Are you going to pick a top-notch lady from a noble family for the seventh prince? When I was choosing a princess for the crown prince, I didn't bother with this much."

The Crown Princess is the granddaughter of Yang Deguang, the Minister of Rites. In his mind, Yang Deguang is one of the candidates to become a prime minister in the future. Choosing his granddaughter as the Crown Prince is to make it easier for the Crown Prince to handle state affairs in the future, without having to work as hard as he did in the past.

The Crown Princess's background is certainly good, but she is not outstanding in other aspects.

When Concubine Xian heard Emperor Jingming say this, her heart sank.

Is the Emperor suspicious of her?

Yes, seeing that the prince was not a man of high character and had no mother to protect him, she was of course tempted, but this thought was not for the seventh prince.

She wanted her son to be the emperor, and she also wanted to be the empress dowager, but that son was the fourth child and had nothing to do with the seventh child.

Concubine Xian pursed her lips lightly.

Is it possible that just for the sake of the Seventh Brother, who doesn't take her seriously, she has to insist on her own opinion, causing the Emperor to be wary of her and thus affecting the Fourth Brother's future?

This is absolutely not possible!

Concubine Xian's mind quickly changed, and she softened her tone: "That's not what I meant. How can the seventh prince's princess be compared with the crown princess? Since Your Majesty thinks Miss Jiang is good, then you can marry her to the seventh prince. Everything is up to Your Majesty's wishes."

As Concubine Xian said this, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

After all, she was just a concubine, and all the glory came from the emperor. Once she disagreed with the emperor, she had no choice but to submit.

It would be great if she was the empress, at least she would have the confidence to mediate with the emperor. But if she became the empress dowager, she would have to respect and appease even the king of a country.

Concubine Xian was burning with excitement.

For the sake of the fourth child, she would take a step back for the time being. Sooner or later... sooner or later, there would be a day when she would be able to hold her head high!

After comforting herself, Concubine Xian calmed down completely.

Emperor Jingming looked much more comfortable and said with a smile, "Since Miss Jiang has received your invitation, it shows that there are no problems in all aspects. My beloved concubine, you can put your mind at ease. It will be fun to have a daughter-in-law who can perform magic tricks to make you happy in the future, isn't it?"

Concubine Xian resisted the urge to roll her eyes and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is right."

It's so funny!

She was really pissed off. Not only was she forced to have such an unpresentable daughter-in-law, but she was also expected to accept it happily!

Especially at the flower banquet, she clearly expressed her dissatisfaction in front of so many noble ladies, but in the end she helped the girl named Jiang. Just thinking about it makes her feel so embarrassed.

"Let me ask Old Seven's opinion. We can't be careless about marriage."

Concubine Xian clutched her broken nails tightly and said word by word, "Your Majesty is right."

When he talked about her just now, he said it was good enough, but now he says we can’t be careless. What does the emperor want?

Soon Yu Jin was invited in by Pan Hai.

"Your Majesty, my Lord." As soon as he came in, Yu Jin bowed respectfully.

Concubine Xian said nothing.

"Seventh Brother, you think Miss Jiang is very happy, but do you want her to be your princess?"

Yu Jin grinned: "Father, you still understand my intentions."

My heart is already blossoming with joy.

"But Miss Jiang has broken off the engagement. You may not mind now because she looks so happy, but who knows what will happen in the future? If she is not satisfied, will you blame me for my words of advice?" Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin with a serious face, "Give me a reason why you don't care about this."

Yu Jin was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "If someone is blind and loses gold, shouldn't someone with vision be allowed to pick it up and take it home?"

Emperor Jingming laughed: "Well, since you said so, I will grant you a wish and let Miss Jiang be your princess."
