Chapter 156 Failure
There are many daughters in the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, but bringing two to the palace to celebrate the birthday is already a lot. In addition, Shen Xian did not show her face, so no one in the Imperial Garden knew she was here, and no one celebrated the birthday of Queen Xu at the birthday banquet. If this had not happened, no one would have known that Shen Xian had entered the palace.
When Shen Xian entered the palace, she could not hide it as long as she asked. When she saw the emperor looking over, Concubine Ye said, "I sent someone to ask her to enter the palace. Miss Shen had a rash at the last palace banquet and lost a lot of weight. The Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was afraid that she would still get into trouble in the palace, so they did not dare to let her in. I heard that Miss Shen's dance sword is even better than Miss Shen Shen's second. I thought that the sisters could dance with swords together to celebrate the queen's birthday today, which would definitely add some liveliness..."
"Miss Shen hasn't come to the palace yet, I thought she didn't come, but I never thought..."
Empress Xu heard this and said, "Marquis Pingyuan's concerns are unnecessary. Something has happened before entering the palace. Marquis Pingyuan's daughter was once engaged to the prince of Jingyang. Now she is engaged to the second prince. We must give Marquis Pingyuan a satisfactory explanation."
Satisfactory explanation...
She must be given the position of the Second Prince's Consort.
Concubine Ye was unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't say the words of objection at the moment. It was she who asked the person to enter the palace, and it would be too humiliating to give her the position of a concubine.
But how can a girl who is not wanted by Prince Jingyang be paired with his son as his principal wife? How can a girl whose engagement has been broken off be the mother of the country in the future? !
Concubine Ye wanted to know what went wrong. She saw with her own eyes that Prince Jingyang drank the aphrodisiac wine, and he drank one cup after another!
As for the Second Wife, she was absent-minded throughout the entire birthday banquet. When Concubine Ye left, she was quite happy and felt that things were done. However, not long after Concubine Ye left, Prince Jingyang came back as if nothing had happened. On the contrary, when Concubine Ye left the banquet and came back, she no longer had a smile on her face in the second half of the banquet.
They had failed too many times in their attempts to plot against Chen Tang. Although the Second Wife was mentally prepared, she still couldn't accept it. The one-month deadline was imminent and there was no time to waste.
If time had not been tight, she would not have suggested to Concubine Ye to hold a birthday banquet for Empress Xu and take action at the birthday banquet. The palace is Concubine Ye's territory, so it would always increase the chances of success.
She had put so much thought into scheming against the Prince of Jingyang, but in the end she failed. The Second Wife was really unwilling to accept this.
Chen Xi didn't send anyone to give her any news, so the second wife could only wait and wait, and finally waited until the birthday banquet was over.
The Second Madam couldn't wait to leave Wende Hall. At that time, Shen Xi had already packed up. The Second Madam walked over and made sure that no one was around before asking in a low voice, "What happened? Why didn't it work?"
Chen Xi said with red eyes, "It's done..."
The second wife asked, "Then why do I think Prince Jingyang is in a good mood?"
After having physical contact with Shen Xiang, it is impossible for Shen Sui to marry Shen Tang to him. If the plan succeeded, the Prince of Jingyang would never react like that.
Chen Xi bit her lip and said, "I don't know how the person changed to the second prince..."
The second wife was stunned and her voice suddenly rose, "Second Prince?!"
"You mean you and the Second Prince..."
Shen Xian nodded.
The second wife suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or scared.
二皇子自然不是昌平侯世子可比的，沉娢要能嫁给二皇子，那是他们平远侯府前世烧了高香，可沉娢被昌平侯世子欺负在前，二太太不知道昌平侯世子有没有和叶贵妃说这事，反正她没在叶贵妃跟前提半个字，叶贵妃只当沉娢对靖阳王世子一往情深，要报复靖阳王世子一再揍昌平侯世子，再加上她承诺，沉娢成了靖阳王世子妃，一定会为叶贵妃所用，叶贵妃才不遗余力的帮她们。
The Second Wife asked, "The Second Prince didn't see through it, did he?"
The second wife was asking whether Chen Xi had let the second prince discover that she was not a virgin.
Shen Xi shook her head.
The Second Prince was unconscious and didn't even know who she was, so he probably didn't notice.
She has made every possible effort today, so there will be no problem.
The Second Wife said, "The Second Prince's Consort is better than the Prince of Jingyang's Consort. You should be a good Second Prince's Consort from now on."
Chen Xi was worried, "Will Concubine Ye give me the position of principal wife?"
The second wife was also a little worried, but she comforted Shen Xian, "The old lady will ask the marquis to fight for you."
Chen Xian is the daughter of Shen Sui. If his daughter becomes the concubine of the Second Prince, Shen Sui will lose face. Moreover, even if she is not, it will be a good thing for the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion if Chen Xian becomes the Second Prince's consort. Marquis. This is already a blessing in disguise.
Besides, when Chen Tang left the Wende Hall, he called Chen Sui aside and told her about the matter between Chen Xian and the Second Prince. Just as he finished reporting, a young eunuch came over quickly and said, "Marquis Pingyuan, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study to talk."
After something like this happened, the Emperor and Concubine Ye must give an explanation to the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Chen Sui went to the imperial study, and when he left, he told Chen Tang, "You go back to the Marquis' Mansion first."
Chen Tang took Ginkgo to the horse ranch and saw Chen Ran standing there from a distance, watching a carriage go away.
Chen Tang had never seen that carriage before. Yin Xing said, "It should be the carriage that the young lady rides in..."
Chen Tang walked towards Chen Ran, "Why is Third Sister standing here distracted?"
Shen Ran smiled bitterly.
As long as something happens to Chen Xi, her mother will no longer see her as her daughter.
The Second Wife entered the palace in a sedan chair, and had just left the palace with Shen Ying in a carriage. The old lady did not allow her to interfere in the affairs of the eldest house, and she did not dare to go to find Concubine Ye at this time, so she could only accompany Shen Ying back home first.
Shen Ran looked at Shen Tang, "Didn't the elder sister go to the Jokhang Temple? Why is she in the palace? Did something happen again?"
"Let's talk in the carriage."
Shen Tang got on the carriage first, and then Shen Ran got on.
After the carriage left the palace, Chen Tang said, "Eldest sister is going to marry the second prince."
Shen Ran was shocked, "How is this possible?!"
Chen Tang said, "Eldest sister is already the Second Prince's person..."
Shen Ran's eyes opened wide, and his mouth opened so wide that a salted duck egg could fit in.
Chen Ran knew that Chen Tang would not make up such a thing to her. This must be true. In addition, there was indeed something wrong with the way Chen Xian walked just now. She thought she had sprained her ankle like last time, but how could Chen Xian roll around with the Second Prince?
Thinking of the rash on Shen Xian, and then thinking of the small note that Shen Tang received at the Queen's birthday banquet, Shen Ran suspected that someone was plotting against Shen Tang, and Shen Xian was in trouble again.
No, this time it's not a disaster, but a stroke of luck.
The one-month deadline was almost up, and Chen Xian had not yet settled her marriage, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Now that something like this had happened, it had solved her urgent problem.
