The Nanman marriage and Princess Caifeng's affectionate gaze made Feng Juelei feel no joy at all. He only felt as if he was being baked in the wind, and it was not his own will!
No matter who he offended, it was different from his original intention. Compared with this choice of gain and loss, Feng Juelei was really under too much pressure.
"Your Majesty, I have also seen this jade pendant. It was originally a betrothal gift given to my younger sister by His Highness Prince Yan. Later, it was sent back to Prince Yan's Mansion as a dowry. Speaking of which, the real owner of this jade pendant is now my sister-in-law." A handsome man Feng Juelei's surroundings were relieved in time by his voice. Everyone turned around and saw You Yuecheng standing up and replying.
He said that although he didn't say much, he just chatted for a few words and immediately made it clear about the origin and consequences of the jade pendant.
Everyone present felt ashamed. Just now, everyone's attention was attracted by the jade pendant in Prince Xieyue's hand, and their thoughts were all following this jade pendant. They only thought that the jade pendant was a betrothal gift for the princess, but they never thought that King Yan When I married a royal concubine, I gave this jade pendant as a gift, but I didn't take it out in the main hall.
You Yue'e's face slowly calmed down from the excitement. The handkerchief she held tightly had already been wrinkled and torn into a pile, and she no longer looked as elegant as before.
"The prince is talking about the past, when Caifeng hadn't come yet." Prince Xie Yue smiled slightly.
This is a reminder to You Yuecheng that that time was that time, and now that Feng Juelei has sent this jade pendant again, it means that he is dissatisfied with You Yue'e and wants to re-elect the concubine!
Feng Juelei was relieved and brought it up again, but there were some things that others could say, but he was speechless. He couldn't let Xie Yue tell the truth about why he left the jade pendant at that time. There were a lot of things going on with him, and he became increasingly unpopular with his father. His good reputation in the past was slowly getting worse and worse.
If it was rumored that he was a wanderer again, how many ministers in the government would be on his side.
Therefore, now he can only place his hope on You Yuecheng, hoping that You Yuecheng can pull him out of the whirlpool of the marriage. At this moment, he does not dare to think about Princess Caifeng anymore. He only thinks about Nanman's help. In an instant, he thought clearly that no matter how powerful the Nanman side was, it was still too far away from him and could not compare with the help from the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
If the Duke of Ming Dynasty really disappears and You Yuecheng's support is lost, it will be a disaster for him. Even if Nanman supports him again, so what if there is no one in the court? He will never be able to ascend to a high position. At most, he will be How could Feng Juelei, who had always insisted on being the legitimate daughter of a prince, bear this
"His Royal Highness, the prince is wrong. The marriage between my sister-in-law and King Yan was granted by the emperor, and she refused to hire the prince because of the jade pendant. Now, although it has returned to the hands of King Yan, the real owner is still my sister-in-law. Now the jade pendant belongs to Princess Caifeng. In the hand, it also means that the sister-in-law proposes to Princess Caiwei on behalf of King Yan and gives her a status similar to that of his wife."
You Yuecheng smiled slightly and explained calmly, with a hint of politeness and calmness in the smile on his lips. He actually competed with Prince Xie Yue and did not fall behind in the slightest.
One is a jade pendant given by the prince himself, and the other is a jade pendant given by the princess. Although it is the same jade pendant, the value of the jade pendant has been devalued because the owner of the jade pendant is different. The one given by the prince was given to the princess. The courtesy given by the princess is more like hiring a common wife for the husband. As a common wife who is higher than other concubines, her status is equivalent to that of a wife. It is normal to give a jade pendant to show respect.
What's more, Princess Caifeng is not an ordinary person! You Yue'e made such a move and asked for a well-known woman to marry her husband, which showed that she was generous and decent, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Feng Juelei didn't dare to tell what happened at that time, and You Yuecheng was also betting that Prince Xieyue would be too embarrassed to tell what happened between Princess Caifeng and Feng Juelei. Although Feng Juelei was shameless about the one who happened to him, Cai Yue was embarrassed. Where is Princess Feng? Once this comes out, Princess Caifeng will lose her reputation. Nanman cannot afford to lose that person!
This matter is like a double-sided sword. On the one hand, Feng Juelei and Princess Caifeng are connected, but on the other hand, no one of them dares to say anything!
The whole hall suddenly became quiet. Even Emperor Zongwen, who was sitting in the high hall, cast his eyes inexplicably on the sons sitting on the side. Those who looked at him thoughtfully were on pins and needles and avoided Zong. Emperor Wen's gaze, on the other hand, was Feng Jueran's evil look at Emperor Zong Wen, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Emperor Zongwen glared at Feng Juoran fiercely, and then looked at Prince Xieyue again!
He waited quietly with everyone for Prince Xie Yue's words.
"The gift of an equal wife?" The smile on Prince Xie Yue's face became lighter and lighter. He looked back at Feng Juelei, and finally fell on You Yuecheng's face, asking for verification.
"Yes, the gift of an equal wife." You Yuecheng nodded affirmatively. His heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. If Prince Xie Yue really came to defeat the enemy, he would have no choice. Fortunately, Prince Xie Yue still had scruples. , the smile on his face became more and more sincere, "A common wife is similar to a real wife, and the children she gives birth to are also legitimate children."
Although her status is a little lower than that of an official legitimate son or daughter, she is still the same!
"Your Highness, in the Qin State, the children of the common wife and the children of the first wife are all direct descendants, and there is no distinction between them." Concubine Wen Gui, who was sitting on top, suddenly laughed softly.
This is a bit biased, but everyone is from the Qin Kingdom, and the emperor is watching above. Concubine Wen’s words at this time may not be what the emperor meant. No one dares to come out and explain to Prince Xieyue that the children of an equal wife and a legitimate wife are The difference is, no matter how similar a regular wife is to a regular wife, she is not a regular wife.
There is only one position for the principal wife!
"Whoever I hand over to you is the one I want to marry?" Prince Xieyue seemed to be confused and asked again.
"Yes, of course." You Yuecheng's heart dropped, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his handsome face. Fortunately, Feng Juelei and You Yuee came to the Duke of Ming Dynasty after this happened. I told him that I felt something was wrong at the time, so I was prepared early. Now that the matter was resolved, You Yuecheng was of course happy.
Princess Caifeng's character is nothing to fear, she is just a pawn in the marriage.
In You Yuecheng's heart, the addition of a common wife in Prince Yan's palace, like the addition of a side concubine, will not cause any disturbance. As long as his sister secures her position as the principal concubine, and as long as Feng Juelei can still rely on herself, many things will not matter. It's not a problem, and Princess Caifeng seems to have no brains at first glance, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen into her hands.
"Oh, that's it, I misunderstood." Prince Xie Yue suddenly realized. He turned to look at Princess Caifeng. Under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly smiled at Hu Qianyue who was next to Princess Caifeng: "Hu Miss, this jade pendant was delivered to you before, right?"
"Yes!" Hu Qianyue's heart trembled when he saw such a look, and she replied subconsciously. After saying this, she felt bad and was so shocked that she lost her mind. But before she could finish her words, Prince Xieyue saluted upward: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, since King Yan is determined to marry our Nanman Miss Hu as his equal wife, Xieyue will accept this matter on behalf of Miss Hu and ask Emperor Qin to grant the marriage."
These words shocked the entire hall, and everyone in the hall stared at Prince Xie Yue's magical move.
Hu Qianyue's body softened and she almost fell off the chair. She felt trembling all over, but she couldn't say anything. She was just a southern barbarian courtier and she came to Qin alone. Who could say a word for her now? .
Princess Caifeng was shocked at first, but when she saw Hu Qianyue was so shocked that she could hardly sit still, she immediately showed a proud smile. Just now she made an affectionate expression towards Feng Juelei, but she already felt unwilling to do so. , especially a grown man who couldn't even talk about his own marriage and had his wife's uncle to stand in front of him. Princess Caifeng didn't look down on Feng Juelei at all at this time.
I feel that he is not a man at all, just like a freeloader who does whatever his wife and uncle say without any opinion.
But she was afraid of Prince Xie Yue. The prince turned his eyes and looked at her, so she had to express something, so even though she was unwilling, she had to look at Feng Juelei lovingly. At this time, she heard her eldest brother's voice change, He married Hu Qianyue into Prince Yan's palace. How could he feel unhappy
At that moment, she kindly gave Hu Qianyue a hand and laughed softly: "Qianyue, now you are really going to be the prince's concubine. Congratulations!"
Things took a turn for the worse, and suddenly everything in the hall fell silent.
Prince Xie Yue tried for Princess Caifeng to become the Princess of Yan but failed. He seemed to be completely defeated by You Yuecheng, but in an instant, he pushed Hu Qianyue to the stage. Who was Hu Qianyue? She was also the daughter of General Cheng, and there was As an aunt of a queen, her status in the Nanman Kingdom is lower than that of Princess Caifeng, but her strength is stronger than hers.
And I also vaguely heard that this Miss Hu is a strong competitor for the third prince's concubine.
Such a person was originally brought to marry Princess Caifeng, but how could he expect to be left in Qin? Is this a marriage or a grudge? Now even You Yuecheng couldn't calm down, and his face turned dark. .
Before he could speak, Prince Xieyue begged again: "Emperor Qin, Prince Yan and Miss Hu are in love, and it is for the good of both countries. I am here to represent Nanman to ask the emperor to grant a marriage, and also to ask the emperor to marry Caifeng and Ning." The king granted me a marriage, and these two couples are a match made in heaven, which will surely make the relations between our two countries peaceful forever."
Prince Xie Yue made a decision, and several envoys who came with Xie Yue also came out, kowtowed to Emperor Zong Wen and said in unison: "Please grant the marriage to Emperor Qin, and the relations between the two countries will always be peaceful."
Marriages are granted one after another, and in the name of diplomatic relations between the two countries. In addition, Feng Juelei and You Yuecheng's words have risen to the level of two countries. If they do not agree, it is equivalent to unwillingness between the two countries. There was peace forever, and Emperor Zongwen stopped talking. He nodded with a smile and said, "Since Prince Xieyue wants it, someone will come and propose a marriage."

"Yes." Qi Xi hurriedly took the prepared imperial edict and spread it out on the table. Emperor Zongwen thought about it for a moment, and then gave it to him.
The imperial edict was also simple. It only said that these two couples were a match made in heaven. They were witnesses of the friendship between the two countries and had mutual affection. They should marry into Qin together to prove the friendship between the two countries.
At this point, the matter reached the level of the two countries. No matter how much you wanted to object, You Yuecheng was unable to do anything, so he had no choice but to nod to Feng Juelei.
Feng Juelei and others came forward to thank him. (To be continued)
