Yun Xian frowned, shook his head and said, "The emperor agreed, but... he only allowed Prince An to marry you as his concubine."
"What?!" Yun Xiangshang turned pale and couldn't accept it. "Prince An said he would marry me as his wife, how could he break his promise?!"
Mrs. Yun Da couldn't accept it either. She agreed that her daughter would marry Prince An because she valued his position as a concubine. "Xian'er, what on earth did you tell the emperor? Why did it become like this?! No, you go to the emperor again, Chang.
My son is the legitimate daughter of our Yun family, how can I be a concubine to Prince An?"
To put it bluntly, a concubine is also a concubine.
"Prince An has no official concubine, so why can't Chang'er be the princess?"
Mrs. Yun Da angrily hugged her crying daughter, "If it's a concubine, I don't agree with this marriage."
"Mom, have you forgotten King Qi? Chang'er was originally his future concubine, and the wedding banquet was even prepared, but at this time, King An snatched the bride away. Do you think he will be willing to do so?"
"The King of Qi was also present at that time. With him there, even if Chang'er didn't marry him, it would be impossible for Chang'er to marry King An as his concubine."
Yun Xian pinched his brows and felt that they were oversimplifying things, "Now the Northern Qi treasury is not as empty as you think. Because the Resurrection Pill came from the hands of Princess Lie, she only agreed to prepare it for Emperor Beiwu. You can know
How much money can the Resurrection Pill make on the black market in the Western Region and other countries?"
To say it is worth one hundred thousand taels is a conservative estimate.
In order to obtain the Resurrection Pill, some people are said to be willing to buy one for a million taels.
If this trend continues, will Northern Qi's treasury still be empty?
Before they entered Beijing, they also heard that Northern Qi could not even pay military salaries because of the empty treasury. Emperor Beiwu wrote several books to the Yun family in the hope that they would support the court.
But by the time they arrived in the capital, this matter had already been resolved.
"Now it is not the Northern Qi court that is asking our Yun family for money."
Emperor Beiwu has firmly grasped control, and the situation has long been reversed.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun's face changed slightly, "How could it become like this? Are the Murong family planning to get rid of our Yun family now?"
Even if she is a woman who is well-informed, how can she understand these situations without having real contact with court affairs?!
Yun Xian's eyes darkened slightly and he said: "That's not the case. Anyway, the situation has changed now. We can no longer just use Qiao to offend the Northern Qi royal family."
"This time I went into the palace to discuss Chang'er's marriage with the emperor. The emperor asked Prince An and Prince Qi to come into the palace together."
"The King of Qi did not agree to give up Chang'er. The emperor did not want his two sons to be unhappy because of a woman, so he said that if Chang'er really chooses to marry King An, he can only be a concubine. At that time, the third lady of the Zhou family will come in to marry him.
Princess, Chang'er must enter the mansion through the side door."
Hearing this, Yun Xiangshang's face showed a cold and ferocious expression, "The third lady of the Zhou family, Zhou Jintang is a concubine of the Zhou family. She is not even worthy of carrying my shoes. Why should she marry Prince An as the princess?!"
Madam Yun also had anger on her face, "That's right, why should she, a concubine, be the concubine?!"
Yun Xian pinched her eyebrows and said helplessly: "Mom, the Zhou family is a century-old hairpin family in the Northern Qi Dynasty, with a well-established scholarly family. Miss Zhou is the granddaughter of a first-class imperial concubine. Although she is a concubine, her status is still higher than Chang'er's.
Noble."
"This is not the Western Region. The 'scholars, farmers, industry and merchants' here in the Northern Region, the merchants' families have the lowest status."
So what if Yun Xiangshang is the legitimate daughter of the Yun family?
She is the daughter of a merchant, so she will always be inferior to these noble ladies in the capital.
This kind of identity recognized by the world is sometimes something that even money cannot buy.
Mrs. Yun's and Yun Xiangshang's faces both turned gray. Yun Xiangshang's eyes were misty, and he secretly gritted his teeth and said with a slight trembling of the corners of his lips: "Then I'll go find Prince An."
