The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

When they first met, they were taken to Yonghe Palace.

I heard laughter and chatter inside before I even entered the door, and the voices seemed a little familiar.

As expected, when I entered, I saw an acquaintance, the Prime Minister's wife, but she didn't want to acknowledge me as a relative at first sight.

"First time meeting Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"

When he first met her, he greeted the imperial concubine politely, and then stood there obediently waiting for her to speak.

"This is my first time meeting you. She's your mother. Why don't you greet her? You have no respect for your elders!" Concubine Yun was a little angry.

"Mother? So you are the Prime Minister's wife. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you." Chu Jian pretended not to know her and said obediently, "My Lady, I only met the Prime Minister's wife once on the first day since I returned to the capital. I really don't remember her. Please forgive me."

"Only met once? Haven't you ever gone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look?" Concubine Yun knew that she lived in Prince Zhan's Mansion, but she didn't expect that she had no contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

“No, Chu Jian has never been to the Prime Minister’s Mansion since he was born, so he doesn’t know which way the main door of the Prime Minister’s Mansion opens.

That day, the Prime Minister and his wife came to my house right after the court session to force me to give up my position as princess. I happened to meet the prince who had just returned and heard that I had refused. The prince told me that they could force their way into the palace and that I would be bullied if I went back to live there.

Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion did not send anyone to pick me up. Perhaps he did not see me as his daughter, so the prince did not allow me to go back. "Chu Jianwei said aggrievedly.

Concubine Yun was very upset. She was questioning Chu Jian, not asking Chu Jian to complain! And she made it clear that it was all Mu Yang's fault?

"Alright, alright, I'm just asking." Concubine Yun didn't let her sit down and continued to ask, "Do you know Chu Xia?"

"Yes, she is the most talented woman in the capital, the apple of the Prime Minister's eye, and the future princess consort of the King of War who was granted marriage before me."

"Yes, if it weren't for you, she would have become the Princess of War. You should know this."

"Yes."

"I summoned you here to inform you of something. Chu Xia is the princess chosen by the emperor and me for Mu Yang. She is well-educated and well-mannered. They have been together for a while before. She and Xiao Jiu are a perfect match, so I have discussed with the emperor and asked her to marry you into the Zhan Palace..."

"No!" Chu Jian stopped her before she could finish and knelt down excitedly, "My Lady, this is absolutely not allowed! Chu Xia is also the daughter of the Prime Minister, how can she enter the mansion as a concubine!"

"I haven't finished yet. What we mean is that she is of the same status as you."

"That's even worse! If it's from a small family, then it's fine. How can a princess have a concubine? Wouldn't that make people laugh at her? If you set a precedent, then other princes will follow suit. Concubines will want to be on an equal footing with the wife, and all the princes' houses will be in chaos. If the ministers want their daughters to compete for this position, then the court will be in chaos!"

“You…” Concubine Yun didn’t expect Chu Jian to change from being obedient to being so disobedient. “Then let Chu Xia be the principal concubine, and you be the concubine!”

"Your Highness, I have been listed in the royal jade book as the principal wife. How can the position of principal wife or concubine be changed at will!" Chu Jian looked at her righteously. Just for what she said today, don't even think about being nice to her in the future.

"My Lady, it is Chu Xia who is so unlucky." The Prime Minister's wife pretended to be pathetic as she wiped her tears and cried, "It is a pity that Chu Xia and the prince were in love and had to be separated."

"Are you in love with me?" Chu Jian heard this and lost all his energy. He sat on the ground in a daze. After a while, he raised his head with red eyes. "If the prince and my sister really love each other, Chu Jian can withdraw."

After that, she wiped her tears and stood up by herself, aggrieved and weak, "I will ask the emperor to take back his order, give up the position of princess, and make the best of it!"

Then he turned around and ran out.

Before Chu Jian reached the door, the emperor, Jing Muyang, the prime minister and Chu Xia came towards them.

Jing Muyang stopped her and held her in his arms. He raised his hand to wipe her tears and asked anxiously and gently, "It's the first time we met. Why are you crying like this? What's wrong?"

When Chu Jian Fangsi tried to break free, but couldn't, so he burst into tears.

"Jing Muyang! You're a liar! Big liar! You said that you and Chu Xia were only married by an appointed marriage and you didn't get along, but the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister's wife said that you two are a pair of talented men and beautiful women, and you love each other very much! You could have explained it to me clearly! Although I grew up in the countryside, I'm not someone who can be easily abused! I will never rely on you, and I don't even want your position as a princess! I have my own intentions, why do you want to deceive my feelings!"

"No, no!" The harder Chu Jian struggled, the more anxiously Jing Muyang held him tightly.

"First time meeting, first time meeting, Princess! Listen to my explanation! Chu Xia and I were married by our father. I was not attracted to her. After that, I met her at banquets no more than five times. We never said more than ten sentences in total. We never met in private. Believe me, I am sincere to you and I have never lied to you!"

"I don't believe it, wuwuwu..." Chu Jian softened and sobbed in Jing Muyang's arms.

"Believe me! I said I would be responsible for you, protect you, love only you and marry only you. I swear to heaven that I will never break my promise!" Jing Muyang raised his hand and prepared to swear solemnly.

"Bastard!"

The emperor interrupted him. Due to the sudden change of the queen, he did change his mind and did not want Chuxia to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion, but he could not let his son marry only one wife.

It would be fine if Chu Jian was in good health, but the key is that she has been ill for many years. If she can't give birth to a child, then his royal son will have no descendants. This can't be possible.

"Father!" Jing Muyang knelt on the ground, but still held Chu Jian's hand tightly, fearing that she would run away.

"Father, if we hadn't met for the first time, I wouldn't even be able to get out of the coffin, let alone the tomb. This is a life-saving grace!

At the beginning, she didn't know her son's identity, but she still stayed with him even though his legs were paralyzed. This is a heart-to-heart love!

But I like her not only because of these. I like her beauty, frankness, gentleness, thoughtfulness, loveliness and kindness. Of course, she is also timid and jealous, but no matter what she is like, I like her deeply!

I am happy the moment I see her, and I feel peaceful when she is by my side. If it weren't for her, I would have committed suicide!

Father, the first sight of you was my salvation. No one can replace it. She is the only one in my heart and it can only hold her!

I am willing to swear to heaven for her, to love her and cherish her, and to marry only her for the rest of my life!"

"you……"

The emperor was so furious that he couldn't stop Xiaojiu, as he had already sworn to end it.
