Chapter 104 The worst possible outcome is death

Since she was already sterile, Yu could not think of any other heirs that the prince could have for her.

Until Xie Chenke’s words.

"Let the concubines give birth and you will raise them."

Yu's figure was shaky, and he didn't even know how to get out of the study.

Xie Chenke’s meaning is very clear.

All the women in the backyard can have children, but not the main wife.

But all the children in the backyard must remember her name, call her mother, and bring them to her to raise.

"He really worked hard to get rid of his relatives."

Yu's mouth was full of bitterness, and Li'er was puzzled.

"Why can I get rid of my relatives like this?"

Mrs. Yu smiled bitterly: "None of the children in the backyard are my biological children. Will they miss the Yu family? Will the Yu family contribute?"

They seem to be legitimate sons, but they are not related by blood.

Lil was speechless.

——

The days in early summer are getting hotter day by day.

The news that Miss Wang's heart fell in love with King Chu was like wings. The more tightly it was covered, the higher and further it flew.

The news spread all over the palace and inside the capital.

Even the old emperor asked.

"What's going on with the two children? Didn't you say that Mr. Xiang's child won't be married into the palace?"

"It is difficult to control the child when she is older. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will talk to her again."

The old emperor frowned.

"Since two people are in love, you can't beat the couple. The sixth one is not bad, so he won't be unworthy of her."

The queen stood up in fear.

"Your Majesty, I can't bear this. Yu'er is the prince, and Xiangjun is just a boudoir girl. Naturally, he deserves it."

"Since I'm worthy of it, I might as well accept it. I think it's a good marriage."

The Queen made no reply.

After the emperor left, she immediately summoned Mrs. Wang and Wang Xiangjun.

"Xiangjun, have you decided to marry the King of Chu?"

When Mrs. Wang wanted to stop her, the queen shook her head and asked Wang Xiangjun specifically.

"Once you agree to this matter, there is no way out. If you become the Princess of Chu, you will be trapped in that identity for the rest of your life."

Wang Xiangjun's chest heaved with excitement. He ignored his mother's eyes and couldn't wait to agree.

"Auntie, I have thought about it. My cousin, King Chu, said that she likes me and will make me never feel wronged in my life."

The queen regretfully held her hand.

"You are such a stupid boy, you don't even believe what Lao Liu says."

Then he looked at Mrs. Wang: "If she wants to, just let her go. The Emperor also agreed."

Mrs. Wang slumped down on the chair, her face turned pale, and tears fell down her cheeks.

"What evil have I done?"

"The eldest son of Duke Shan is such a good boy. You girl, if you don't live well in the future, you will have to suffer by yourself. Don't cry to me."

"My mother won't do it. I really can't understand what kind of grievance the dignified Princess Chu will suffer?"

Concubine and so on, those are just toys.

Dealing with them is not a piece of cake.

——

It's nearly May, after the bustling Dragon Boat Festival.

The palace, which had just drank realgar wine, was still filled with the aroma of mugwort, and the engagement banquet of the sixth prince was held in Jiaofang Palace.

The queen is the husband's legitimate mother.

Wang Youzong and his wife are the girl’s parents.

The birthdays of the man and the woman are written on the bright red Geng Tie, and the Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for the exchange.

After the complicated etiquette, the queen looked at her brother and sister-in-law.

"I never expected that my brother and I would still be in-laws in this life."

"fine"

Heartache is heartbreaking, after all, it is my sister who is the mother-in-law, so Wang Youzong can feel relieved.

"Although Yu'er is not your biological child, he was raised by you. They were childhood sweethearts, which is a good story. Don't worry too much, Madam."

"That's all I can think of"

On the eighth day of May, the marriage was decided.

On the tenth day of June, the royal family officially issued the appointment period and married into the Wang family.

At this point, almost all the adult princes of the royal family are married.

The marriage of the third prince was held in the palace. It was not a lively affair but there were a few tables set up. The princess was the daughter of a minor official.

Even though he was imprisoned for life, he could not marry a decent high-class lady.

The fifth prince's in-laws were not very satisfied, but Concubine Zhao liked it very much, and the fussing has been useless till now.

The sixth prince has decided to marry a young lady from the Wang family.

The eighth prince is still young, the ninth prince is even younger, and the tenth prince is still drinking milk.

——

The tenth day of June was the day when Xie Chenyu was officially engaged.

Zhao Liangdi had a headache due to the noise, Song Liangdi cried for a whole day, and Cui Liangdi got sick again.

Liu Liangren was still silent, but now Lin Ximeng was added to the mix, and she was also very calm.

The injuries from the beating were all healed, and she was lying lazily on the mat playing with Snowball.

"The iceberg has almost melted. It's very hot. Let's get another one."

"My dear, please save some money. It's already the third piece today. It's not good if you use too much. My last menstrual period was still painful."

"Okay, cut some honeydew melon into pieces." Qingqing reluctantly answered and left.

I nibbled on honeydew melon, sipped fragrant tea, and ate a few skewers of homemade roasted gluten, and finally held a cup of sweet roses in my hands.

"This day is called a day, but it's a pity that I can't lie down for much longer."

"You finally know how to worry. We don't know what our life will be like when the new princess enters the palace. She is a real lady with many rules."

"If you can avoid it, then avoid it. If you can't avoid it, then let's talk about it."

"The worst case scenario is death. I've been struggling to survive until now. I've never seen anything like this." Even the scars on his back are thicker than others.

Lin Ximeng laughed at herself, but of course it was true.

In addition to lying down and being a rice bug, she also secretly prepared another thing.

She occasionally goes out to the cloth shop to buy coarse cloth and cotton.

Occasionally I go to the drug store to buy the cheapest herbal medicine.

Sometimes I go to the market and buy some coarse cloth shoes, hemp rope shoes, straw baskets, coarse grains, black noodles, mung beans and yellow millet that are commonly used by ordinary people.

As long as she could ensure that people had enough food and clothing, she would get them.

One sack today, one big basket tomorrow.

For storage, the firewood shed behind Zhuxiao Courtyard was specially set aside to store these.

By August, she had spent all her savings and accumulated two truckloads of supplies.

Xie Chenyu also kept his promise.

After spending more than a month with Miss Wang, I took Lin Ximeng out on the pretext of "traveling to increase my knowledge".

All the luggage along the way, together with Lin Ximeng's two large carts of supplies, were handed over to a certain escort agency for transportation.

They left the city lightly dressed in civilian clothes and hid in the city.
