Quick travel: after being possessed by the monster system
Chapter 440 The Femme Fatale Guide to the Powerful Regent 46
"Why do you want to congratulate Marquis Yongchang? Shouldn't the adults congratulate you on the annulment of the engagement?" Lu Xiyue thought of the word congratulations, and her bad premonition became more and more serious.
Moreover, breaking off the engagement with the eldest princess should not be a glorious thing for the Yongchang Houfu.
The eldest princess still has "prestige" in the court, and those ministers should not be congratulating the two on the dissolution of their engagement.
So what happy event is worthy of a bunch of people congratulating?
"Green Trace, is there any other news? What are you hiding from me? Tell me before I get angry."
Seeing his young lady's face darken and her eyes sternly looking at him, Lu Hen's body trembled slightly.
"Miss, the prince's younger sister, the former Shu Zhaoyi, has been canonized as Concubine Shu by His Majesty."
Luhen first told the story about Shu Xingruo being promoted to a level.
"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you hesitating? Then I will go to Yongchang Houfu to say congratulations to Xinglan."
"Don't worry, Luhen. Your lady, I won't let others see my face. It's really not possible. You can change my makeup. Even if I look similar, it's just because I'm Princess Chong'en's sister, so others won't think of me. That’s Lu Xiyue.”
As Lu Xiyue said that, she walked to the dressing table and sat down, waiting for Lu Hen to change her makeup.
He picked up the rouge box and opened it, ready to pick a color he liked and apply it.
"Miss, Your Majesty has granted a marriage to the Crown Prince. The future Crown Princess of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites."
Luhen gritted his teeth, knelt on his knees, and told the cruel news.
The rouge box in Lu Xiyue's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The rouge also fell out of the box, and the rouge powder was scattered on the floor.
Lu Xiyue's mouth opened slightly, with disbelief in her eyes.
She turned around, a thin mist rising in her eyes.
"Lvhen, what are you talking about? Who is the emperor marrying to? Who is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites marrying?"
Her voice was trembling. She hoped that the news she just heard was not true, but her hope was completely shattered by Green Trace's next words.
"Miss, the Emperor has granted marriage to Crown Prince Shu Xinglan and the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites. The wedding will be in two months. Your Majesty also said that he will personally attend the wedding of Crown Prince Yongchang Hou."
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so Lu Hen told Lu Xiyue all the news he knew.
"Miss, miss..."
Seeing Lu Xiyue's body shaking a few times and falling backward, Lu Hen shouted anxiously, and people rushed up to hug the unconscious Lu Xiyue in time.
Then he and the maid outside the door worked together to send Lu Xiyue to the bed, and hurriedly went to call the doctor.
Shu Xinglan from the Yongchang Hou Mansion was also confronting Yongchang Hou in the study at this moment.
He didn't want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Etiquette. He had just let the eldest princess pass before. Why couldn't he and Xiyue stay together without the eldest princess as an obstacle?
Marquis Yongchang watched with cold eyes as his son went crazy.
She felt even more unhappy with Lu Xiyue.
He was grateful from the bottom of his heart for the emperor's gift of marriage. If his son really married Lu Xiyue and indulged in love, could they still count on him for the future of their palace?
"Shu Xinglan, this marriage was granted by His Majesty's imperial edict. It is the Emperor's grace. Please be clear-headed."
"If you don't want our entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion to be buried with your so-called love, then just marry me the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Etiquette."
"On the day you get married, His Majesty said he would come to watch the ceremony. In addition to going to court, you can prepare for the wedding honestly."
Marquis Yongchang gave orders to his son.
"Father, Xiyue is waiting for me. I can't marry anyone else."
Shu Xinglan shouted loudly.
"Snapped!"
Marquis Yongchang slapped his palm on the desk, and cracks appeared on the table legs.
It can be seen how hard he worked and how angry he was.
"Naughty son, Princess Chong'en Lu Xiyue is dead. If you are interested in Lu Sulu, the concubine of Marquis Yongping, after you get married, I will put aside this old face and go to Marquis Yongping to ask him to allow that concubine. I will give you my daughter as your concubine."
This is the only thing Yongchang Hou can compromise with.
Although he hated Lu Xiyue for having too much influence on his son, in order to make his son obedient and marry the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Etiquette, he did not mind letting Lu Xiyue come in as a concubine.
As long as his son has owned Lu Xiyue, he should know that she is no different from other women.
The feelings will slowly fade away.
A woman living in the back house of Shu Xinglan must not be able to cause any trouble.
"Father, how can Xiyue be my concubine?"
Shu Xinglan looked at Marquis Yongchang in disbelief. He didn't expect his father to say such cruel words?
"She is now the concubine of Marquis Yongping, why can't she be a concubine? Do you think a concubine can be worthy of the title of imperial concubine?"
"Think about it, your brother's wife is a legitimate daughter, and your wife is a concubine, how can you show your face to others?"
Marquis Yongchang said sarcastically.
If his son is stubborn, he will teach him a lesson.
Hearing this, Shu Xinglan's expression paused and he hesitated.
Xiyue's current status is that of a concubine. Even if she marries herself as his wife, her status will still be lower than that of her brother-in-law. When the time comes, others will laugh at her as the heir apparent, marrying a wife whose status is not as noble as that of his concubine's wife. After what happened to the eldest princess, she became the laughing stock of the civil and military officials in the court.
Although Shu Xinglan felt a little relieved, he suppressed that feeling again when he thought of Lu Xiyue's weak look with tearful eyes.
"But you know, Xiyue is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yongping, she is not a concubine."
Shu Xinglan straightened his back and emphasized.
Seeing how naive his son was, Marquis Yongchang's eyes were sarcastic.
"So what? Apart from you and me, as well as the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, all the civil and military officials and people in the Mian Kingdom, who don't know that Princess Chongen Lu Xiyue has passed away on the way to get married."
"Unless His Majesty is merciful and gives her status that day, she will be just a concubine in this life, a mere concubine. Being a concubine to you is also a promotion for her, so don't be dissatisfied."
Seeing his father ridiculing his sweetheart like this, Shu Xinglan just dared to get angry and dare not say anything.
Deep in his heart, he might have agreed with what his father just said for a moment.
"Xinglan, do you want to be unable to hold your head high in front of your concubine? Now I am going to put aside my old face and ask Your Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict granting marriage, and then go to Yongping Marquis Mansion to propose marriage to a concubine. Do you think you will not become someone else's? A joke? Can you face the ridicule of so many people?"
Knowing that his son had already listened, Marquis Yongchang began to soften.
"His Majesty just granted you a marriage to show how much he values the Marquis of Yongchang, but we begged your Majesty to take it back if we angered him."
"It doesn't matter that I'm old. The worst I can do is stop being the Marquis of Yongchang. But you're still young. If you lose your official status, what can you do to make your sweetheart happy?"
"Although you could give her the position of a head wife at that time, you still want her to accompany you to live a simple life and suffer hardships. Are you willing to give up?"
"Your sister is already having a hard time in the harem. She finally got a concubine this time, and now she has angered His Majesty because of your affairs, making her have a hard time surviving in the harem with a big belly?"
Word after word from Marquis Yongchang struck Shu Xinglan's heart. He closed his eyes in pain, as if his heart was about to be torn in two.
Moreover, breaking off the engagement with the eldest princess should not be a glorious thing for the Yongchang Houfu.
The eldest princess still has "prestige" in the court, and those ministers should not be congratulating the two on the dissolution of their engagement.
