Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Xiao Yan'an was moved.

He moved his lips, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

He actually didn't dare to say these words.

Recently, there has always been a sense of inexplicable fear in his heart. He doesn't know whether Ji Chuhe is willing to stay in the deep palace with him and be his crown princess.

He also knew that if Ji Chuhe didn't want to stay, he had no right to keep her.

As soon as he entered the palace, Xiao Yan'an was invited by the emperor to the imperial study.

Ji Chuhe returned to Dongchen Palace alone.

"Crown Princess, Empress Wei is here." Xiang Zhu came over immediately to report.

Today's Empress Wei is Wei Yan.

After the death of the previous emperor, Wei Yan's title was changed to Empress Wei.

Prince Huaiyang succeeded to the throne. According to seniority, Wei Yan should call Prince Huaiyang "imperial uncle". If Wei Yan's title is changed to "concubine dowager", it is not appropriate. So, she is simply called Empress Wei, and everything is done according to the rules of the concubine dowager.

When Ji Chuhe walked into the hall, Wei Yan immediately stood up.

"Princess."

"Empress Wei brought the little princess with her today. Let me see the little princess and see if she has gained some weight." Ji Chuhe walked forward and looked at the baby in the cradle.

The child was well-raised, fair and chubby. He had just woken up from his sleep. When he saw Ji Chuhe, his little mouth pouted, his eyes immediately turned red, and then he let out a childish cry.

"Zhao Zhao is starting to feel shy! Princess, she has never seen you before, so she is crying." Wei Yan quickly hugged the little boy in her arms.

The little princess stopped crying as soon as she saw Wei Yan.

Wei Yan held the child in his arms and coaxed him for a while before handing him over to the nurse. "Go feed Zhao Zhao."

"Yes." The wet nurse took the little princess Xiao Zhaozhao away.

"Crown Princess, I came here today to ask for a favor. I want to raise Zhao Zhao and treat her as my own daughter."

"Wei Yan, you are still young. If you want to leave the palace, I will find a way for you." Ji Chuhe meant what he said.

There was a flash of shock in Wei Yan's eyes.

Does Ji Chuhe mean to let her go free?

Meeting Ji Chuhe's sincere eyes, she dispelled her doubts.

There was no calculation in Ji Chuhe's words.

Wei Yan is indeed still very young, and it is not impossible for her to get married after leaving the palace. There is no need to waste her whole life in this palace.

"Crown Princess, if I leave the palace, I will have to hide my identity and cannot live in this world as Wei Yan. I can't even see my parents and relatives again. Moreover, even if I marry another man, can I be guaranteed to live a happy life? If I stay in the palace as Empress Wei and raise the little princess, my father, brothers, nephews and nieces will also be blessed by the emperor because of me and the little princess."

Wei Yan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his plan.

She was not stupid and knew that any calculation would be exposed in front of Ji Chuhe, so it was better to be honest.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say any more. It would be most appropriate for you to raise the little princess." Ji Chuhe agreed.

"Thank you." Wei Yan thanked him happily, "Before I entered the palace, I heard some rumors about you. There are actually many women who are willing to enter the prince's mansion as concubines. They are not attracted to the prince or love him very much, they just simply want a mistress like you."

"At that time, I really couldn't understand how such a strange and unbelievable thing could happen in this world! Now, I understand a little bit. You are in charge of the harem, which is also one of the reasons why I am willing to stay in the palace."

Ji Chuhe looked at Wei Yan in surprise.

Wei Yan smiled at her and said, "Crown Princess, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

……

Yongcheng.

Ji Zhenghui and Luo Jixun joined forces and began to recruit troops under the name of the child they had robbed.

They also announced to the outside world that Prince Huaiyang was a traitor who stole the country, and that the bloodline of the child in their hands was the legitimate one, and that this child should inherit the throne.

They also wanted to uphold justice, overthrow King Huaiyang, and re-enthronize the child as emperor.

When this news came, all the civil and military officials sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Luo Jixun and Ji Zhenghui have rebellious intentions. They are using this as an excuse to fight for the throne. Such traitors must not be tolerated!" Wei Lin was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to send troops to quickly capture these two traitors!" General Nan also said, "I am willing to personally lead the army and take down the heads of these two traitors!"

"Your Majesty, I also agree to send troops to quell the rebellion." Marquis Wuyang also stood up.

"I second the proposal."

Everyone in the court agreed to send troops.

"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to Yongcheng to quell these two rebels." Xiao Yan'an suddenly stood up.

"I am willing to go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." General Nan said immediately. He urgently needed an opportunity to show his loyalty.

"Okay! Then the Crown Prince will be in charge, General Nan will be the deputy commander, and we will mobilize 3,000 imperial guards and 100,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion." The emperor gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes." Xiao Yan'an and General Nan responded at the same time.

One hundred thousand soldiers set out on the expedition with great momentum.

Everyone thought that this was going to be a major war and was prepared for rivers of blood.

Xiao Yan'an sat in the chariot, looking at the latest secret report sent from Yongcheng.

A man in armor walked out from behind.

Xiao Yan'an thought it was his guards coming, but when he turned around, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Ma'am! Why...why are you here?"

"I will go with your Highness."

"Nonsense! Someone come here..."

Ji Chuhe put his hand over his lips.

Xiao Yanan's heart was beating uncontrollably.

Tianxi lifted the curtain and walked in. When he saw this scene, he immediately retreated and ordered the guards who were about to come in to leave.

Ji Chuhe withdrew his hand and picked up the secret report on the table.

"Tonight, Yongcheng will be in chaos. Your Highness has not yet arrived in Yongcheng. Maybe the war will be over soon."

"Madam, what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, do you remember that I asked Si De to follow Luo Jixun?"

"remember."

"Si De followed Luo Jixun just to incite and confuse him, and to lead him step by step to this point. I have already controlled Ji Zhenghui's spies. Ji Zhenghui does not know the real news. He knows whatever I want him to know. If he suddenly finds out that the child he robbed is not Xiao Wenxuan's flesh and blood, what will he do? Continue to be a traitor, or kill Luo Jixun to find a way out for himself?"

Xiao Yan'an was shocked. "Madam, why didn't you tell us earlier that you had such a plan? This way, we wouldn't have to send troops to fight a big fuss."

"No, this time the troops were sent out for another purpose. I wanted to see the current attitude of the court officials through the troops. From this, I can see that the momentum in the court is very good. When Xiao Wenxuan was in power before, the court officials were like a pile of loose sand. Now this momentum is what the court should have. This shows that after my father succeeded to the throne, the court officials no longer have any other ideas in their minds."
