Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

In the evening, Xie Yan went to Xilingxuan to see Feng Shuyao.

Feng Shuyao used the ointment given by Feng Qingluan, and the dark spots disappeared a lot. She glanced at Xie Yan and coughed softly.

Xie Yan looked at her nervously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Feng Shuyao hugged Xie Yan's arm, leaned her head on his chest, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. The Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in a few days. Shu Yao also wants to go. Is that ok?"

Xie Yan frowned slightly and put his arm around Feng Shuyao's shoulders:

"The remaining poison in your body has not been completely eliminated, so it's best not to go out. If you really feel bored, I will take you out for an outing when you are fully recovered."

As expected, Xie Yan didn't want her to attend the party.

Feng Shuyao felt uncomfortable because she was a concubine. Large banquets held in the palace were attended by the royal family and no matter how much Xie Yan doted on her, he would not bring her.

Especially after what happened to her mother, Xie Yan cares about his reputation and would never keep her around to be criticized.

Feng Shuyao was not annoyed, she sighed regretfully: "Your Highness is right, Shuyao is not going, how many days will Your Highness be gone?"

I can choose not to go openly, but can't I go secretly?

Feng Shuyao made up her mind that she would go to see the prince this time no matter what.

Seeing her so obedient, Xie Yan felt relieved and said:

"It will take three days. You will stay in the palace for two nights and return on the afternoon of the third day. I will not be at home. You must take your medicine well during these three days and don't let me worry."

Feng Shuyao nodded obediently: "Yes, Shuyao listens to the prince."

Five days later, the prince returned to the capital, and the streets were lined with people welcoming him.

Xie Heng inspected the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the emperor and reported the inspection results to Emperor Xia Ming. Emperor Xia Ming was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. In the court, he praised the prince for his maturity, stability and good way of doing things, which made him feel relieved.

Not long before the thank-you banquet, he had been impeached by officials for favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife. He felt very uncomfortable when he heard everyone praising the prince, so much so that he had a stern face all the way to the Xishan Palace the next day.

Feng Qingluan sat in the same carriage with him. Not wanting to look at his extremely long donkey face, she admired the beautiful scenery along the way outside the window. At the same time, her eyes occasionally glanced at a servant who was following in the entourage of the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Among the accompanying team, one of them was dressed up by Xue Zhimo.

When Feng Qingluan looked back, Xue Zhimo was also looking at her carriage. Their eyes met, and Feng Qingluan looked away.

She has planned a big show tonight and needs Xue Zhimo's help.

Xue Zhimo was the right-hand man of the original owner's father when he was alive. He always treated the original owner as his own sister. He was two years older than the original owner, had great martial arts skills, and was meticulous. He resigned from his official position after the death of Marquis of Protectorate the Country.

I heard that he had left the capital at that time, but now that the Marquis' Mansion needed him, Liu Bin brought him back.

When the Marquis of Huguo was alive, he was in charge of the security of large palace banquets such as the Xishan Palace. As his subordinate, Xue Zhimo naturally knew the layout and terrain of the place. After Feng Qingluan made a plan, she thought of this. Having Xue Zhimo as a living map would be of great help to her plan.

After walking for about three hours, in the afternoon, the convoy headed by Emperor Xia Ming arrived at the Xishan Palace in a grand manner.

The Xishan Palace was built in a valley with open terrain and colorful flowers. It was filled with all kinds of colorful flowers and green plants, all of which grew naturally and had beautiful shapes. It was the most beautiful place in the capital for spring scenery. Every spring, the palace would hold a grand flower banquet here and invite civil and military officials and their families to enjoy it.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is not only an occasion for relaxation and outing, but also a good opportunity for the noble ladies and gentlemen in the capital to meet each other. After arriving at the palace, the young ladies from each family got off the carriages, they were dressed up in their best clothes, singing and chatting, and it was very lively.

"I thought His Highness would bring along that favorite concubine called Feng Shuyao. Luckily he was not fooled. Today's occasion is not suitable for her to appear at all."

Di Manli, wearing a light blue double-breasted gauze dress, stood beside Princess Zhaoyang's carriage and said.

When she got off the carriage just now, she saw the King and Queen of Chu also getting off the carriage. She didn't see a third person. The two of them stood back to back, neither wanting to pay attention to each other. She was in a quite happy mood.

Princess Zhaoyang got off the carriage with the help of her maid and said disdainfully:

"Although my brother dotes on Feng Shuyao, he doesn't always agree with her. In my opinion, Feng Shuyao definitely wants to come today, but how can she? You see, my brother doesn't like Feng Qingluan at all, and he doesn't have a concubine around. These three days are your chance. As long as we make good use of it, you will be the concubine of the King of Chu and my sister-in-law after we return to the capital."

As she spoke she laughed and jokingly bumped Di Manli's arm. Di Manli's cheeks turned red and she shyly covered her face with her handkerchief.

"Your Highness, it's a little early to say this now. Whether it will work or not depends on how things turn out."

Princess Zhaoyang lowered her voice and smiled, "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Don't worry, it will work tonight."

The two of them whispered for a while, then went somewhere else to appreciate the flowers with the other noble ladies.

Queen Li felt a little unwell from the long journey, so Princess Qingyang Xie Ning accompanied her to the pavilion and sat down. Seeing the fatigue on the queen's face, she said worriedly:

"Are you feeling unwell, mother? Would you like some hot tea?"

The queen shook her head and said, "I haven't ridden in a carriage for a long time. I feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a rest."

Seeing the worry between her daughter's eyebrows, she asked, "Are you still upset about Bai Yuhua's incident a few days ago?"

Qingyang's face darkened slightly, and he looked in the direction of Princess Zhaoyang with cold eyes:

"If the Princess of Chu had not happened to save my mother that day, I would have made a huge mistake. Later, I found out that Zhaoyang had someone deliberately tell me about the white feather flower, saying that the fragrance of the flower could help with colds. I believed her and fell for her trick, almost killing my mother. How could I not feel regretful?"

The queen narrowed her eyes and comforted her, "Just find out. Mother is fine now. Don't keep worrying about it. It's a rare opportunity to come out and enjoy the scenery. Don't think about it."

Zhaoyang is still a child. The person who wants to harm her is probably Concubine Ru who is behind the scenes. Qingyang was used by the mother and daughter, and she doesn't blame her.

Qingyang couldn't swallow that breath, and didn't want to make the queen worry, so he said obediently: "Mother is right, your son doesn't want to think about it anymore."

She looked in the direction of Princess Zhaoyang again, and a layer of heavy black mist crept into her eyes.

Zhaoyang, you dare to use me to poison my mother. I will let you know what real means are. Just wait, this trip will not make it easy for you!
