Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Ye Xiwu was satisfied with Jiang Xinxin's craftsmanship, and the Grand Princess was even more satisfied. However, she applied coptis water on her body all year round, which made her skin always yellow and difficult to wear outside. Therefore, the Grand Princess could only let her take over the late lady's property even though she had rewarded her with craftsmanship many times, which was considered to be a loyalty to Ye Xiwu.

During the day, Ye Xiwu happily went to the palace to attend a banquet and prepared a gift for His Royal Highness King Xuancheng of Camellia. However, when she came back at night, Ye Xiwu was in a dishevel. Even an inexperienced girl like Jiang Xinxin could tell that she seemed to have lost her virginity!

The atmosphere in the General's Mansion suddenly became tense, and the Grand Princess also entered the palace to plead for mercy. Finally, three days later, the palace finally came to a conclusion on Ye Xiwu's matter - Ye Xiwu had to marry Jingguo's hostage Tan Tai Jin within a month.

However, Tan Tai Jin did not have the nerve to ask Emperor Sheng to grant him another mansion. Instead, he was ordered to move from the palace to the General's Mansion. In other words, Tan Tai Jin, the prince of Jing Kingdom, was sent by Emperor Sheng to the General's Mansion to be a son-in-law.

In this way, Emperor Sheng was humiliating the royal family of Jing. Even though the current Emperor Jing was Tan Tai Minglang, the brother of Tan Tai Jin who had a grudge against him, as long as Tan Tai Jin was still the prince of Jing, Jing would inevitably be humiliated.

Secondly, this is also Emperor Sheng's way of restraining the General's Mansion which is fighting against Jing State on the front line. Because the status of the General's Mansion cannot be shaken, Emperor Sheng already feels that the General's Mansion is too powerful to be a threat to the emperor. Otherwise, if Ye Xiwu dared to make a spring silkworm poison in the palace, he would only have death.

The eldest princess saw all this, so she relied on the glory and merits of the general's mansion to obtain such a marriage for Ye Xiwu. However, Emperor Sheng still refused to let the general's mansion go, and within a few days he issued an edict to marry the eldest daughter Ye Bingshang to Prince Xuancheng Xiao Lin as a concubine.

Originally, Xiao Lin asked to marry Ye Bingshang and offered her the position of principal wife, but Emperor Sheng was only willing to give her the position of concubine on the grounds that Ye Bingshang was born out of wedlock.

Xiao Lin couldn't confront his biological father, so he comforted Ye Bingshang by saying that she wouldn't have a wife to trouble her.

The general's mansion has been extremely busy since the two imperial decrees of marriage were issued. The family has to prepare for two wedding banquets in succession, especially since one of the ladies is about to become the concubine of Prince Xuancheng, and the other is about to marry a prince of another country as a son-in-law.

Just because Ye Bingshang was about to become Xiao Lin's woman as she wished, Ye Xiwu wanted to rush over and kill her immediately. Jiang Xinxin happened to come over to deliver the wedding dress, and quickly reached out to stop Ye Xiwu who was waving the nine-section whip.

"Miss, your current situation is what the old lady and the master have used up all the glory and achievements of the family to obtain. On the surface, you are marrying a prince, but in fact, apart from having a new husband in name, your life is still the same as before."

"As for the eldest lady, people outside say that His Royal Highness Prince Xuancheng specifically asked for a concubine position for her, but she can only be a concubine in this life. You can ask the old lady to go to the palace to ask His Royal Highness Prince Xuancheng to marry a principal wife. I'm afraid the eldest lady's life will not be as easy as it is under your care."

People like Ye Xiwu can only be treated in a favorable light. Jiang Xinxin first made it clear that both the old lady and the master were on her side and were not biased towards Ye Bingshang because she was about to become the concubine of Prince Xuancheng. She calmed down a lot. When Jiang Xinxin said that Ye Bingshang's position as concubine seemed hard-earned, but in fact it was like a castle in the air without any foundation, she began to feel satisfied.

But Ye Xiwu could not get over the fact that she was rejected by Xiao Lin. She couldn't help crying and holding Jiang Xinxin's hand, saying aggrievedly: "But even if she is just a concubine, she is still married to His Highness!"

How could Jiang Xinxin not understand this? She even dared to assert that if Xiao Lin, the King of Xuancheng, was really as true as the rumors outside, Ye Bingshang might even become the queen in the future, and the best outcome for Ye Xiwu would be to maintain her current status.

Of course, if Tan Tai Jin could return to the throne in the future that would be another matter. But given the hostility between the two countries, even if Tan Tai Jin could really ascend to the throne one day, Ye Xiwu would never be able to sit on the throne of queen.

What’s even worse is that the Ye family is now feared by Emperor Sheng.

Jiang Xinxin made a look to let the other maids retreat. After everyone left, she moved closer and lowered her voice to Ye Xiwu and said, "Young Miss must have spent a lot of effort behind the scenes to win the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Xuancheng. Now that His Royal Highness Prince Xuancheng has clearly rejected you, if you don't want to be hated by Prince Xuancheng, we can't do anything."

Ye Xiwu still refused to watch Ye Bingshang get what she wanted, so she held Jiang Xinxin's hand and begged, "Xiao Jiang, can't you just let Ye Bingshang die?"

Jiang Xinxin looked at Ye Xiwu's big, clear eyes filled with hatred for Ye Bingshang. Her heart skipped a beat and she was nervously thinking about how to convince Ye Xiwu.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin didn't say anything, Ye Xiwu couldn't help but increase the strength of her hands and said, "Xiao Jiang, that Ye Bingshang has always wanted to compete with me since she was a child. She won't be satisfied until she beats me in everything. I have already spared her life, but why did she want to snatch away the Sixth Prince that I like?!"

Jiang Xinxin tried to pull her hand out, grabbed Ye Xiwu's shoulder, and said solemnly: "No, we can't do anything to Ye Bingshang, because according to the imperial decree, she is already the concubine of King Xuancheng and a member of the royal family. We think Ye Bingshang is nothing special, but we can't ignore the face of the royal family and King Xuancheng!"

Ye Xiwu simply couldn't listen. "It is said that the Ye family is the backbone of Shengguo. The royal family also relies on our family to protect the country. If our family hadn't helped back then, I'm afraid the one who would be the hostage would not be Jingguo Prince Tan Tai Jin, but a certain prince in the palace!"

"Father has made such great contributions. I just want to be the Sixth Prince's principal wife. Why can't I get my wish?!"

At this moment, Ye Xiwu could not hear any words like "the opportunity has been lost". Jiang Xinxin pushed her to sit down again and said sternly: "Now you have missed the position of Princess Xuancheng. If you don't want to be inferior to the eldest lady, you should win over Tan Tai Jin and ask him to go back and help you win the position of Queen!"

At least half of these words touched Ye Xiwu's heart. Since she was a child, she had always targeted Ye Bingshang because she was not the only daughter in the family. She even sincerely wished that Ye Bingshang would die. However, the eldest princess who loved her wholeheartedly, although she disdained Ye Bingshang, did not allow her to really harm Ye Bingshang because she was a descendant of the Ye family after all. Therefore, she could only vent her anger by whipping, insulting and withholding Ye Bingshang.

But she didn't expect that Ye Bingshang was smart and managed to escape from her hands time and time again, and even used her to become famous in the capital!

After all, her liking for Xiao Lin was only because Xiao Lin had outstanding looks and noble status. If she could get Xiao Lin, she would be able to gain a status and power that was second only to the emperor.

Ye Xiwu was relieved, and Jiang Xinxin continued with what she had said before: "I don't know why Tan Tai Jin, who was born not long ago, was sent to our Sheng Kingdom as a hostage. In fact, Sheng Kingdom seems to have forgotten this prince in these years, and casually disdains the border war, as if they wish Tan Tai Jin to die."

"But I believe that Tan Tai Jin will not die miserably as some people in Jing Kingdom wish, and the General's Mansion also needs to consider a way out. You are the backup plan for the entire Ye family!"

Regardless of success or failure, and regardless of what happens in the world, let's first blow some bullshit out there to appease Ye Xiwu, the hot-tempered girl. She always feels that some of the family's attention has been diverted by Ye Bingshang. Now that she has said so, if she is still not satisfied, she can't force this girl to go into battle and kill the enemy and conquer the land for herself!
