Chapter 85 Imperial Edict
Lu Jiuyuan: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't take a concubine."
Everyone looked up at Lu Jiuyuan in surprise. A prince making such a promise showed how much he cared about Bai Taotao.
But it's just a verbal promise, people's hearts will always change.
The more promises you make now, the more hurt Bai Taotao will be in the future.
Bai Jinfeng thought so.
Bai Xincheng also saw Lu Jiuyuan's attitude and was very satisfied: "Okay, I believe that the prince's words are final!"
What was even more shocking was Lu Jiuyuan’s next words.
He said, "I can ask my father for an imperial decree that I will never take a concubine, so my father-in-law doesn't have to worry about me changing my mind later."
At this moment, Bai Xincheng was even happier: "Well, Taotao is lucky to marry such a good man like the prince."
Liu nudged Bai Xincheng with her elbow.
What are you talking about? It’s his luck to marry her daughter!
Bai Xincheng, who was afraid of his wife, quickly said, "It is a great honor for the prince to marry a virtuous wife like Taotao. It is a great honor for him." Lu Jiuyuan looked at Bai Taotao affectionately and said, "Well, I am forever lucky."
Bai Taotao looked up at Lu Jiuyuan in confusion: "???"
What is this dog prince thinking about?
Why are you suddenly so greasy and teasing her?
What evil plan is he planning?
Lu Jiuyuan still held Bai Taotao's hand and led her out of Songhe Hall.
Bai Jinfeng watched them leave, feeling extremely jealous.
She turned to Lu Linyuan and asked, "Does the prince really want to take a concubine?"
Lu Linyuan: "I certainly don't want to, but if it's a gift from my father, how dare I disobey?"
Marquis Yong'an didn't want them to have a concubine so soon after their wedding, so he suggested, "Your Highness, please quickly explain to the Emperor that you only want to help the country and reject the Crown Prince's request."
Li touched her balding head and said, "The Crown Prince has even more reason to take a concubine. He won't live long. He should ask the Emperor to grant him a few more beauties so he can have children and leave behind a bloodline sooner rather than later. This is surely what the Emperor wishes."
Since her husband had to have an extra concubine, she had to give the prince more concubines.
Madam Shen agreed: "When women compete for favor, the Eastern Palace will naturally be in chaos."
In that case, will Bai Taotao still be favored?
As for what the prince said about asking for permission not to take a concubine, it's just a man's words, don't take it seriously.
We are all experienced people and we all know that men’s words are lies and cannot be trusted.
Just when they had finished their discussion, the emperor's edict arrived.
There were two imperial decrees. One was that Crown Prince Lu Jiuyuan was not allowed to choose a wife or concubine within ten years, and that Bai Taotao, the Crown Princess, would never be deposed.
The second was to reward the virtuous King Lu Linyuan with a beautiful concubine and a concubine.
The concubine is the second daughter of Wang, the Minister of Rites, and is as talented and beautiful as Bai Jinfeng.
Bai Jinfeng was stunned. It would be fine if she had a concubine, but why was there also a concubine?
Or her mortal enemy!
Moreover, the emperor actually issued an edict, forbidding Lu Jiuyuan to take concubines or choose a wife, although it was only for ten years.
But Lu Jiuyuan obviously won’t live for more than ten years, so what difference does it make?
Bai Xincheng was deeply moved after hearing the imperial edict: "I thank the emperor for his grace. I will be loyal to the emperor and share the country's worries."
Lu Jingyan pulled Bai Xincheng's sleeve, asking him to lower his head and whisper, "Grandfather, we will be loyal for ten years first, and we can talk about other things later."
He still wants to be the emperor, so don't stop his rebellion plan!
Bai Taotao pulled Eunuch Xi to a corner and whispered, "Eunuch Xi, why does the prince want someone with a red mole?"
