The Third Prince looked like he wanted to beat his son to death. Hongger gritted his teeth and said nothing. Ulan Tuya rushed out to block it for her brother.
The whole family acted so realistically that Ye Jun couldn't help but give them an award.
At this point, Ye Jun had nothing left to understand. He knew clearly in his mind that the Third Prince must have already colluded with the Third Prince and reached an agreement.
The Third Prince is ambitious and will certainly not be willing to let his legitimate daughter be a concubine, but the Third Prince is proud and naturally does not want to really marry a Zasak as his legitimate wife.
However, such a noble woman became the concubine of the third prince. How many ladies in Kyoto could suppress this concubine of excellent family background in the future
I'm afraid that if the Third Prince's wife is not strong enough at that time, there will be no peace in the Third Prince's backyard.
Thinking about the injuries of his son and brother, Ye Jun's eyes turned slightly cold, and he decided to fan the air and let the wild dogs bite each other.
So he pretended to be anxious and spoke.
"What are you all standing there for? Pull the prince away quickly, or he might get hurt!"
Immediately, guards came forward and pulled the man away.
Ye Jun sighed and said softly, "Why does the Third Prince have to get so angry about the child? The Crown Prince is honest. Now that he has spoken out, he will not disappoint his feelings or the princess in the future. He also speaks for his sister. This caring heart is very touching."
Having said that, Ye Jun paused and turned to look at Ning Chen, who looked unhappy.
"But the Third Prince is still young. Even if Nanqi gets married earlier, he must be fifteen."
Concubine Yi couldn't sit still anymore and quickly came out.
"Yes, the Third Prince is still young, and the Princess is not very old either. Who knows, she might change her mind in a few days. This engagement cannot be made casually."
Ye Jun frowned and nodded, "This matter is indeed difficult to handle. Although the princess is sincere, there are many things to pay attention to when the prince makes an engagement. It can't just be a word from the emperor."
This made Ning Chen nodded.
When marrying a wife, one has to make do with many things and cannot just pick one casually; so the same is true for concubines.
In fact, Ning Chen didn't even want to give the third prince the status of concubine, but the En and Jin families were acting like this, and he had been rejected twice in a row. If it happened again, it would make him, the emperor, seem a little stingy.
So he took over the conversation.
"Although you are young, it doesn't mean you are not sincere. The feelings of youth are often purer. When the concubine mentioned the past, it reminded me of many old things. It is a good thing to make an engagement."
Ning Chen said this with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes and gently patted the back of Ye Jun's hand.
"It's a pity that the princess's horoscope is not completely compatible with the third prince, which goes against the rules of the royal family. However... if the princess is willing to be a concubine, then there is no need to be so particular."
As soon as the word "concubine" came out, En and the Jin family were stunned for a moment.
At this time, Ye Jun continued while they were still not able to react.
"Even the Crown Prince knows Princess Ulan Tuya's feelings for the Third Prince, which shows how sincere she is. How could someone who truly loves her care about status?"
As he said this, Ye Jun's eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him.
That look was too oppressive, as if her lie would be exposed if she didn't nod.
When En Hejin realized something was wrong and wanted to stop their daughter, Ulan Tuya had already replied with a stiff face.
"I, I don't care. I am sincere to the Third Prince."
"Your Majesty, look at what a pure child he is." Ye Jun retracted his gaze and said softly.
Ning Chen nodded with a look of relief.
"In that case, the princess is sincere, so you should accept it. I will marry Ulan Tuya to be the third prince's concubine, and we will choose a date to get married after she reaches the age of marriage."
Although Concubine Yi's expression was still grim, she felt a little relieved when she heard that she was a concubine and not a wife.
But Enhe Jin's faces turned unhappy. It was really hard to let their legitimate daughter become a concubine.
But now that the imperial decree had been issued, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it. Moreover, these words that showed that he didn't care about their status were spoken by his daughter herself.
Fortunately, the purpose of the marriage was achieved.
The banquet was truly wonderful.
I saw the Third Prince and the Crown Prince acting, and I also saw that the Third Prince got a little concubine who would not be able to marry into the family until two years later.
After returning to the tent, Concubine Yi was furious and secretly cursed Ye Jun for deliberately preventing the emperor from directly rejecting the request.
Fortunately, Yunxiu advised her to look at the bright side, for example, the Third Prince now has a great helper in the Third Prince.
Yes, the Third Prince did not tell Concubine Yi about the alliance between him and Enhe Jin, because he felt it was dangerous and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Since the marriage agreement was made, the Third Prince has been well behaved and has not secretly visited Hong Geer for a long time. Ye Jun sent people to watch him every day, but nothing was discovered.
These things are not urgent. The upcoming Double Ninth Festival is what Ye Jun needs to be busy with.
This year's Double Ninth Festival celebration will be held on the grassland. Although it is in the territory of Zasak, Ning Chen means that it will still be hosted by the royal family.
After all, we will return to Beijing after the Double Ninth Festival, and the Double Ninth Festival ceremony also has the meaning of farewell.
Ye Jun had to receive the ladies of honor and take care of the miscellaneous affairs alone, so he was naturally too busy to handle it all. Therefore, he called several concubines over.
Arrange things and divide responsibilities.
So during this period of time, these concubines were the ones who most frequently entered and exited the imperial concubine's tent.
It happened that on this day, the Fourth Prince came to Ye Jun's place to have dinner together, and something happened to Concubine Qi.
There was one gift list missing from her hand, and she didn't know if it had been lost when she brought it back. The banquet arrangements had to be made according to the list, and it couldn't be lost.
The young eunuch who was holding the things said that maybe they had fallen into the hands of the imperial concubine, because he tripped when he was leaving, and he left without having time to look at the pile of things in his hands.
It was good that she knew the place. Concubine Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took people to go to Ye Jun's place.
I was walking so fast that I bumped into a Zasak maid carrying a tray at the corner.
There was a bowl of soup and two dishes of side dishes on the tray. In order to avoid Concubine Qi, the maid was splashed with soup all over her chest.
Although his face looked painful, he immediately knelt down.
"Please forgive me, Madam Concubine Qi. Please forgive me, I didn't mean to do that. I was going to deliver food to Madam Noble Concubine, and I was in a hurry and bumped into you."
"Forget it, forget it. You didn't mean it. I walked a little faster." Concubine Qi waved her hand. "Are you burned?"
The maid quickly shook her head, "No, it's just that my clothes are wet and I don't look well-groomed. I have to go back and change before delivering the things. I'm afraid it will delay the work, and the steward will definitely accuse me of being lazy on purpose..."
There was a hint of tears in her voice as she spoke, she looked so pitiful.
Seeing that she looked only twelve or thirteen years old, Concubine Qi couldn't bear it for a moment, so she said.
"I'll take the things for you. I also happen to be going to the Imperial Concubine's place. Go back and change your clothes and bring more soup."
