Chapter 391 Concession
The prince sleeps on a small couch at the princess's place. Chen Tang and Xie Guimo don't feel sorry for the prince, but if they don't feel sorry, there are people who do.
When Concubine Jiang heard about this, she almost exploded with anger on the spot.
It has been so long since the prince came to her room. He would rather sleep on the small couch in the princess' room than come here. Is there anything more humiliating than this? !
The prince was not at home, so Concubine Jiang went to find the princess angrily. The maid tried to stop her, but Concubine Jiang overturned her and broke into the house.
At that time, the princess was taking medicine, and Concubine Jiang said, "Princess, you are so bold! How dare you let the prince sleep on the small couch!"
The princess said, "If Concubine Jiang likes my little couch, I'll give it to you."
This means they don’t even want to let the prince sleep on a small couch.
Concubine Jiang almost fainted from anger.
Mother Yun said, "The princess has just recovered from a serious illness and needs to rest. Concubine Jiang, please go back. Otherwise, if you disturb the princess, don't regret it when the prince comes."
If the prince didn't volunteer to sleep on the small couch, could the princess, who couldn't even get out of bed, still force the prince to sleep on it?
If you don't dare to go to the prince, you can go to the princess.
If you say one more word, Mother Yun will have Concubine Jiang kicked out.
Concubine Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine Ye wants Yan'er to marry as a legitimate daughter, and the prince agrees, why don't you agree?!"
The princess glanced at Concubine Jiang and said, "I will ask the prince to make you his co-wife, and the eldest daughter will naturally be the legitimate daughter."
Concubine Jiang's throat choked, "Do you have such good intentions?"
The princess said, "I have already mentioned this to the prince. As for whether I can convince the prince to support you, it depends on your own ability."
"Send Concubine Jiang out. Next time someone dares to enter my inner room without permission, no matter who it is, I will slap them in the face."
The princess' voice was chilling.
She had the heart to let the prince sleep on the small couch for a night, which shows that the princess is serious about this.
The princess said in front of Yun Mama and the maid that it was absolutely true that she asked the prince to make her his co-wife. Since the princess had said this, why did Concubine Jiang stay any longer? She turned around and left.
In one morning, groups of people came to visit the princess one after another. The third wife, the fourth wife and the fourth wife all came, but the princess didn't see any of them.
After living under the same roof for twenty years, the princess was tired of dealing with them. She didn't need their visits and just wanted to stay in peace.
They couldn't see the princess and didn't dare to break in, so they waited for the prince to leave the court, called him over, and asked him whether the princess wanted to make Concubine Jiang her co-wife.
The prince's face suddenly darkened, "When did the princess have the right to raise my wife as a co-wife?"
The old lady said, "Concubine Jiang is the prince's cousin. She has been wronged as a concubine for so many years. It's rare that the princess agrees. Prince..."
The prince said, "None of our ancestors ever gave up their wives as equals, so I won't set this precedent."
Concubine Jiang was sitting there. When she heard what the prince said, tears welled up in her eyes. "Princess, you would rather let the prince raise me as a co-wife than let Yan'er be registered as her daughter. Concubine Ye insisted that Yan'er marry as a legitimate daughter before she would give her the position of the prince of Qi's principal wife. The prince wronged me, but why would he wrong Yan'er?"
Concubine Jiang was really sad.
She had always thought that it was the princess who was unwilling to give her the position of co-wife, but she didn't expect it was the prince.
The old lady advised the prince, "The princess escaped death this time, now she has come to terms with it. Why should the prince..."
The prince's face was so gloomy that ink could almost drip out. "Yan'er's status is what it should be. If Concubine Ye feels that her status is not enough to be the principal wife of the Prince of Qi, she should either be a concubine or not marry."
After saying this, the prince turned and left.
Concubine Jiang's face turned pale, even the color of her lips disappeared.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As long as the princess registers the eldest girl under her name, she can become the Princess of Qi. The prince would rather let the eldest girl be a concubine, or not marry her, than force the princess to agree.
But if you say that the princess was cruel and refused to give it, it is obviously not the princess's fault. The princess did not refuse to give the eldest daughter a legitimate status. She just did not want it to be recorded under her name. The prince could have given the eldest daughter a legitimate status by raising his concubine. It was the prince himself who was unwilling to do so, so the princess cannot be blamed.
The prince said that he would let the eldest girl be a concubine or not marry at all, which shows that there is no possibility at all.
No one can force the prince to do anything he doesn't want to do.
The princess was recuperating and couldn't see her, so they all set their sights on Chen Tang.
The old lady then asked Chen Tang to go to Wutong Courtyard.
Chen Tang was in charge of the household affairs and went to see the princess twice a day. Since he had no reason not to go since he had sent someone to invite her during her nap time, Chen Tang took Ginkgo and Qiutong to Wutong Courtyard.
The old lady hadn't seen Chen Tang for a few days. Chen Tang's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was difficult for her to even bow. The old lady said, "No need to bow."
If Chen Tang bowed, the old lady wouldn't gain any more flesh, so it would be better to be kind.
But if it was really Ci'ai, she wouldn't come to Chen Tang.
Chen Tang asked, "Why did the old lady ask me to come here?"
The old lady asked, "The prince and princess quarreled. Do you know about this?"
You're old now, and you have to take care of everything. Aren't you tired?
Chen Tang said, "I heard about it, but my husband didn't let me ask more questions, let alone interfere."
The old lady asked, "The prince just let the prince and princess quarrel?"
Chen Tang said, "No, mother is very easy to talk to. Apart from not letting the eldest girl be registered as her child, she agreed to any way the prince could use to give the eldest girl a legitimate status."
"My mother is so easy to talk to. The problem is not with her."
The old lady said, "If the prince wanted to give Concubine Jiang the status of a co-wife, he would have done so 20 years ago. He would not have waited until now."
Chen Tang said, "Twenty years ago, it was my mother and the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion who refused. Now that my mother has agreed, how could my father not give it? My husband said that it was my mother who agreed, and he did not stop it."
The second wife said, "The Jingyang Palace does not allow the promotion of a concubine."
Chen Tang said, "I know the palace rules by heart, but there is no such rule."
Since he didn't have the ability to force the prince to make Concubine Jiang his co-wife, he still set his sights on the princess consort, forcing her to make concessions. He even called her over and asked her to help persuade the princess consort. It was a nice idea.
Wouldn't it be better for them to just quietly watch the affairs of the eldest house from the sidelines? Why did they have to get involved?
The atmosphere in the room was tense. The maids looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.
Shouldn't everyone be forcing the princess to agree to the prince raising Concubine Jiang as his co-wife? Why is it that the princess is forcing the prince to raise his co-wife, but the prince doesn't agree?
In which family would the husband have to lift up the wife as the co-wife? Is the princess mentally ill? But even if the princess is ill, the prince is not ill either.
The Second Madam looked at Chen Tang and said, "It is of no benefit to you and the Crown Prince to raise Concubine Jiang as a co-wife. The princess lost her mind in anger. You and the Crown Prince should not follow the princess's impulse."
Chen Tang said, "My husband feels that Concubine Jiang is actually a co-wife. Having a co-wife title is just a little nicer, and she won't get any more benefits. I don't want to argue with my father over such a small matter."
"A small matter?"
The second wife said, "It's no big deal for the prince to promote his concubine to a concubine? Once Concubine Jiang is promoted to a concubine, she will compete with you for the right to manage the household."
Chen Tang said, "I was just worried about not wanting to be a housekeeper. Now there is such a good thing. I must ask my husband to persuade my father to raise Concubine Jiang as soon as possible."
Second wife, "..."
real.
I almost choked to death.
