In a daze, Murong Xue felt a sharp pain in her chest, and every time she took a breath, it was like thousands of steel needles pricking her heart fiercely, the pain made her frowned tightly, and slowly opened her heavy eyelids, But he was taken aback by the scene that caught his eyes.
White jade tables, red sandalwood chairs, gold and jade hall pillars, brocade and jade couches, the resplendent and magnificent hall is extremely luxurious, and the twisted purple gold furnace placed in the corner is an extremely valuable antique. Coral is extremely precious, almost extinct in modern times, and the luminous pearls inlaid on the walls, one by one, it is impossible to see.
Murong Xue couldn't help being startled, the modern society is full of electric lighting everywhere, yet the layout here is so antique, even the imperial palace in the Forbidden City in Kyoto is not as elegant and luxurious as this place.
"Your Majesty, I implore the Emperor to bestow Princess Yuyan as my main concubine and Murong Xue as my side concubine..."
The cold male voice came to her ears, destroying the momentary amazement brought by the sight. Murong Xue followed the sound and saw a man wearing a purple brocade robe standing on the red carpet in the center of the hall, with black brocade hair. The purple gold crown was tied up, his expression was indifferent, his youthful face was handsome and impeccable, and his sharp eyes were ruthless.
Murong Xue only felt a bang, and a strange memory suddenly flooded into her mind, which quickly merged with her original memory. She didn't want to believe it, but she had to admit that she had passed through her soul.
The owner of the body is also named Murong Xue, who is the daughter of Zhen Guohou's mansion. She was engaged to King Jing Ye Yichen since she was a child. Three years ago, King Jing led troops to the border to fight against the enemy, and Murong Xue waited bitterly in Beijing.
After finally waiting for his fiancé to return to court, unexpectedly, he returned with Qin Yuyan, the princess of Mobei, and openly asked to marry Qin Yuyan as his concubine at the dust-cleaning banquet in front of all civil and military officials and family members. She was caught off guard when she was relegated to concubine side. Frightened and angry, her old disease relapsed, and she died.
In order to give Qin Yuyan the status of the royal family, Ye Yichen did not hesitate to use his military merits to propose marriage to the emperor, but what is wrong with Murongxue? She just obeyed her parents' orders and got engaged to Ye Yichen. Without even saying a few words to her fiancé, she was reduced to a lowly concubine by him. Her noble daughter's dignity was ruthlessly trampled into the dust.
There was a coldness in Murong Xue's eyes, facing everyone's sympathy, pity, ridicule, disdain, and gloating eyes, she slowly raised her head to look at Ye Yichen: "I am engaged to the prince first, and Princess Yuyan is married later. I'm a side concubine, don't you think it's too much?"
Everyone's shocked eyes fell on Murong Xue: Ye Yichen is a war god prince with great military exploits, and all the civil and military ministers in the court gave him three points of courtesy. He is so bold!
The middle-aged emperor on the golden dragon chair also raised his head, and looked at Murong Xue lightly, his sharp and majestic eyes were faintly visible under the cover of the white jade pendant.
Murong Xue turned a blind eye and stared at Ye Yichen coldly.
"Yuyan is the Emperor Mobei's favorite princess. If she is the side concubine, it will be a humiliation to Mobei. Qingyan, the two countries in Mobei will definitely fight again!" Ye Yichen replied coldly, without even looking Glancing at her, there was almost imperceptible lightness and impatience between the brows.
Murong Xue didn't think so, and said in a cold voice: "Qingyan Kingdom is powerful and has enough troops. If Mobei dares to invade, they will send troops to destroy them. Why should the prince be afraid of them?"
"My king is not afraid of going to war, but I just don't want the border soldiers to die for no reason!" Ye Yichen turned around, looked down at Murong Xue, his eyes and brows were full of coldness: "Why do we have to deal with a war that can be resolved by peace between the two countries?" Fighting fiercely, sacrificing many soldiers?"
The Mobei army is fierce, and they will not admit defeat easily. They are willing to agree to a truce and marriage. It is likely that the three years of fighting have caused them a lot of wear and tear, and they must stop the war to recuperate. Accusations, but will not easily send troops to suppress the border.
Ye Yichen and Mobei have been at war for three years, and he must have a clear understanding of Mobei's plight, and he used the peace between the two countries as an excuse because he likes Qin Yuyan and wants to marry her as his concubine!
The corner of Murong Xue's mouth curled up into a barely perceptible sarcasm, and she looked at Ye Yichen coldly: "The princes of the royal family are all young and promising, and there are many nobles in the capital who are young and talented. If the country is good, you don't have to marry a prince who has a marriage contract!"
Ye Yichen mercilessly dismissed Murong Xue as a side concubine in the main hall. He was simply humiliating her, and completely ignored her as a fiancee. The original owner was pissed off by Ye Yichen. I won't let anyone bully me!
"During the truce between the two countries, Emperor Mobei asked me to take care of Princess Yuyan personally, and I agreed!" Ye Yichen said lightly, his voice calm and unwavering.
A small condition can be exchanged for Qingyan, and the twenty years of peace between the two countries in Mobei is very cost-effective. Ye Yichen married Qin Yuyan for the sake of the entire Qingyan country, and it was a last resort to demote Murongxue as a side concubine. If she reprimanded Ye Yichen because of this, she was selfish and ignorant of praise.
She dismissed her accusation in a few words. Ye Yichen's method was really straightforward and unfathomable. The title of God of War is well-deserved! But she, Murong Xue, is not a weak lamb to be slaughtered: "So, the marriage between Prince Jing and Princess Yuyan is imperative, and there is no possibility of changing it?"
Seeing Murong Xue's eyes as cold as a deep lake, Ye Yichen's heart trembled suddenly, as if something unexpected was about to happen, he frowned, and said coldly: "Of course!"
"In that case, I request to dissolve the engagement with Prince Jing!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Murong Xue wanted to retire and not marry the young and promising God of War prince with great military exploits? Isn't she sick and confused? There are many young talents in Qingyan Country, but it is almost impossible to find those who are better than Ye Yichen! Even being his concubine is better than marrying someone else as his wife.
A flash of surprise flashed in Ye Yichen's eyes. When he decided to ask the emperor to marry him, he had imagined all kinds of reactions Murong Xue would have, and had thought of all kinds of countermeasures, but he never expected that she would Hui proposed to divorce, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "No!"
"Why not?" Murong Xue asked coldly.
Ye Yichen lowered his eyelids: "If you break the engagement, your reputation will be damaged..."
"Prince Jing mercilessly demoted me as a side concubine in front of so many people, and made me a laughing stock in the capital. My reputation has been completely ruined." It's all sarcasm.
"Are you blaming me?" Ye Yichen looked at Murong Xue with a dangerous light in his pupils.
"Don't dare! I just ask for the dissolution of the engagement with Prince Jing. Marriage between a man and a woman is irrelevant!" Murong Xue's casual answer revealed indescribable sarcasm and perfunctory.
