Jiang Yunxu urged the housekeeper to get the fifty thousand taels of silver notes.
The housekeeper said: "This is not a small sum after all. Princess Chen will wait a moment and let me report it."
Jiang Yunxu waved her hands indifferently and returned to Linglong Garden again. Chu Youqi was no longer there. She stretched out, leaned back on the couch, and crossed her legs leisurely.
Hongqiao poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Master, can the divorce go smoothly this time?"
"Of course not!" Jiang Yunxu smiled slightly: "There is still one more person left to add fuel to the flames."
two hours later
After Princess Xiangya came out of the palace, rumors began to spread in the capital that Xiangya wanted to marry the third prince, but Princess Chen occupied the position of princess and refused to give in, which jeopardized the harmony between the two countries.
So some of the civil and military officials began to report.
Requesting that for the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, Princess Chen should be allowed to make room.
Jiang Yunxu was not idle either and went directly to the palace to find Emperor Lingzhou.
This time I didn't see Emperor Lingzhou, but I saw Yun Gui's concubine on the way.
"Stop!"
Concubine Yun Gui had been waiting here for a long time. She guessed that Jiang Yunxu would definitely go to the palace to complain.
Sure enough, it came!
"Jiang Yunxu, do you still have an elder like me in your eyes?"
Concubine Yun had never taken a liking to Jiang Yunxu from the beginning, and now she was even more disgusted with him.
She lost her position as concubine, and now she is occupying the position of princess and refuses to give up. She deserves to be damned!
Jiang Yunxu raised his eyebrows.
"I am your serious mother-in-law. How dare you disobey me?"
Ever since Concubine Yun learned that Princess Xiangya was not married to Chu Youqi, she had straightened her back and walked with a wind in her eyes.
She even had a premonition that she would be reset soon.
Jiang Yunxu couldn't bear to see Yungui concubine acting like a villain, but she was indeed an elder, so she called out: "Yungui concubine."
She also called her mother and concubine, but she was scolded by Yun Guifei at that time: "You don't know the rules, how can you pronounce the word mother and concubine? If the late emperor hadn't granted you the marriage, you wouldn't be worthy of marrying into the palace!"
In front of others, Concubine Yun was strict with her.
After being married, Yun Gui's concubine often insulted her and could call her any unpleasant words.
Therefore, Jiang Yunxu never called her mother concubine again.
Yun Guifei snorted coldly, stretched out her index finger with bright red nails and poked Jiang Yunxu's shoulder: "If you kneel down and beg me, maybe I will be merciful and let you be my concubine.
, Otherwise, I will let you get out of the Three Princes' Mansion completely and become an abandoned wife!"
Jiang Yunxu suddenly felt some sympathy for Chu Youqi.
There is such a idiot mother, she has no brains and cannot give Chu Youqi any help.
Jiang Yunxu raised her eyebrows and remained silent.
"I know that you have a large dowry and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you hand over all of it, I will intercede with the emperor and allow you to be a concubine."
Concubine Yun appears to be very compassionate, and I am all for your good.
Jiang Yunxu almost laughed out loud, but still couldn't hold back the corners of her lips that raised.
"Why are you laughing!" Concubine Yun Gui said with a cold expression on her face.
However, Jiang Yunxu lowered his voice: "Don't force me, Yungui concubine. The worst is, I will go to the city wall with three feet of white silk to make a fuss. Even if I don't die, I will ruin Chu Youqi's reputation. I want to see Princess Xiangya return her wish."
I don’t want to marry Chu Youqi!”
"You!" Concubine Yun Gui's face contorted in anger at Jiang Yunxu.
The chest under the skirt was rising and falling slightly, and Jiang Yunxu couldn't help but take a second look at the beautiful spring scenery.
In terms of beauty, Yungui concubine is enchanting and charming, and has the charm of a mature woman. She is charming and attractive.
It's such a pity, how could you not have some brains...
"Jiang Yunxu, how dare you threaten me!" Concubine Yungui gritted her teeth angrily.
Jiang Yunxu shrugged: "It's the Yungui concubine who wants to force people to death. I'm just forced to fight back. If it gets to that point, that's all I can do."
He looked at the other party as if he wanted to die together.
Concubine Yun Gui was so angry that she was unable to take advantage of the other party.
"Jiang Yunxu, you are so unreasonable and so arrogant that you even dare to threaten your elders!"
Princess Xiangya appeared out of nowhere behind her. Judging from the direction she came out, she should have just come out of Fengyi Palace.
Princess Xiangya inquired about Jiang Yunxu's reputation, and it was no exaggeration to describe him as full of evil deeds.
"Princess Xiangya." Concubine Yun Gui saw her, her eyes lit up, and she changed her arrogance. She rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief and squeezed out two tears: "Let the princess laugh."
"Concubine Yun, I saw clearly just now that Jiang Yunxu deliberately bullied you. They say that Lingzhou values filial piety the most. How could Jiang Yunxu be so arrogant?"
The two people began to belittle Jiang Yunxu with each other. One pretended to be helpless, and the other was furious, but they somehow reached an agreement and pointed the finger at themselves.
"Jiang Yunxu, this princess warns you to be wise, otherwise you will have no choice but to be a concubine!"
Princess Xiangya vowed that Queen Mu had promised her just now that she would persuade Jiang Yunxu to vacate the position of head wife.
"Being a concubine is an honor. This rebellious and unfilial bastard is not worthy of staying in the Three Princes' Mansion." Concubine Yun Gui lowered her voice and whispered a few words in Princess Xiangya's ear. Princess Xiangya's eyes widened in surprise.
His face was filled with wonder.
"Is this happening?"
"Absolutely true."
The two of them whispered to each other and gave him instructions in front of her. Jiang Yunxu rolled her eyes, lost her patience and continued to waste her time, turned around and headed towards the main hall.
"Jiang Yunxu, stop, I haven't let you go yet, why are you so ignorant of the rules?" Concubine Yungui is used to teaching Jiang Yunxu. In the past, as soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Yunxu would be obedient and listen to her arrangements.
.
This time Jiang Yunxu left without looking back, letting the two people chase him, and went all the way to the main hall. The chief steward saw several people coming noisily from a distance, and hurried in to report.
Emperor Lingzhou's brain ached as he listened to the arguing outside the palace.
"Jiang Yunxu, you are so presumptuous."
"Princess, don't hold me back."
"Yungui concubine."
…
"Ouch."
When the three people were pulling, they didn't know who made the first move. Yungui concubine fell to the ground and fell into the door of the political hall. Jiang Yunxu also rolled into the hall and lay on the ground.
Emperor Lingzhou saw the three people struggling together awkwardly, and cleared his throat with a cold face, and then the three of them separated.
"Your Majesty, my wife was given a marriage contract by the late emperor. There is no way that I will give up the position of the third princess to anyone else." Jiang Yunxu changed from his previous toughness and kowtowed to his superior with a look of grievance.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of peace between the two of us, Princess Chen should be magnanimous and make concessions." Concubine Yungui kowtowed to Emperor Lingzhou with her hair disheveled. She squeezed her delicate voice and said, "Princess Chen is unworthy of the throne and is not worthy of being a third-party official."
Princess, I beg the emperor to grant Princess Xiangya's favor and decree that the third prince and Princess Chen can reconcile."
This time Princess Xiangya did not speak.
Everything that needs to be said when entering the palace in the morning has been said, and the Queen has agreed that she will decide the position of the third princess.
The Emperor of Lingzhou had a livid face and was displeased. His eyes wandered between Yun Guifei and Jiang Yunxu. Finally, his eyes fell on Yun Guifei. He asked in a deep voice: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Yun Guifei, you are overstepping your bounds!"
Concubine Yun was startled by her sudden anger. She raised her eyes and met the cold eyes of Emperor Lingzhou. She was so frightened that she quickly kowtowed: "I know my mistake, please forgive me."
What he hates most is being involved in the harem.
Yungui concubine has interfered more than once. Emperor Lingzhou said solemnly: "From now on, I will consecrate Yungui concubine to Yungui people."
One sentence caused Yun Gui's position to drop several notches. Yun Gui's face turned pale as she kowtowed to the Lingzhou Emperor, "Your Majesty, I really realized that I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"My lord Yun, why don't you thank me quickly?" the chief steward reminded.
Yun Guiren gritted his teeth and kowtowed with extreme reluctance to thank him, but in his heart he put this account on Jiang Yunxu, blaming this bitch for causing her to be degraded again.
"Your Majesty, it is true that Princess Chen disrespects noble Yun. She has already violated the rule of seven outings, which is enough to divorce her." Princess Xiangya was not afraid of the majesty of the Lingzhou Emperor and pointed at Jiang Yunxu.
Jiang Yunxu frowned, waiting for the man above to speak.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Lingzhou did not help Princess Xiangya scold Jiang Yunxu. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Princess must be very hard after traveling all the way. Please come and help the princess to rest."
Princess Xiangya's face turned red, and she wanted to say something else. The maid beside her quickly reached out and tugged at her, signaling her to stop talking, so Princess Xiangya could only murmur in response.
As soon as the people left, the hall suddenly became quiet.
It was so quiet that you could even hear your breathing.
Yun Guiren knelt down carefully without even daring to raise her head.
Jiang Yunxu couldn't figure out what Emperor Lingzhou meant for a while. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, silently waiting for the person above to speak. During this wait, at least for most of an hour, his legs were sore and soft, and they were bitingly cold.
There was an evil wind blowing from the ground from my knees to my back, which was very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang Er is here." The chief steward reminded.
"Xuan!"
The chief steward immediately shouted for people to come in with a sharp voice, and soon he saw Mr. Jiang coming in wearing official uniform and bending down.
"I would like to express my greetings to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Emperor Lingzhou asked bluntly: "Now Princess Xiangya will not marry unless it is the Third Prince. What do you think?"
Mr. Jiang was kneeling next to Jiang Yunxu in the main hall. He didn't look away, raised his hands, and said in a calm tone: "For the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, the Jiang family is willing to give in and let Jiang Yunxu be a concubine."
Be a concubine?
Jiang Yunxu couldn't help but sneer, Mr. Jiang really tried his best to belittle himself and didn't want to make himself feel better at all.
"Jiang Yunxu has been disfigured and has a vulgar personality. She is not worthy of the position of the third princess at all. Your Majesty, the Jiang family agrees to give up the throne."
Mr. Jiang Er kowtowed to Emperor Lingzhou with great force, and soon his forehead was covered with bruises.
"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Jiang is right. If it hadn't been for the marriage granted by the late Emperor, the Third Prince would never have married a woman with a heart like her." Yun Guiren spoke boldly: "The royal family is kind-hearted and is willing to take her in."
Jiang Yunxu, being a concubine is already a great compliment."
Mr. Jiang nodded in approval: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. If Jiang Yunxu is made a common wife, it would be very unfair to Jiang Yan'er."
Emperor Lingzhou did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Jiang Yunxu and indicated with his eyes, what do you think?
Jiang Yunxu straightened her chest and spoke very firmly: "I would rather be divorced than become a concubine. If the Jiang family and Princess Xiangya insist on forcing me to be a concubine, I sincerely ask the emperor to grant me three feet."
Bai Ling, my wife will die immediately."
"Jiang Yunxu, you are so brave. How dare you threaten the emperor with your life?"
Mr. Jiang Er glared at Jiang Yunxu and warned her not to talk nonsense.
Jiang Yunxu was indifferent: "This is my attitude, either peace or death."
Emperor Lingzhou fell silent, staring at Jiang Yunxu with burning eyes, trying to figure out something.
"Jiang Yunxu, don't threaten the emperor. You are a woman with ruined appearance. What else can you do if you leave the Three Princes' Mansion? You are an abandoned wife. It's better not to show off. It's better to stay as a concubine and live in peace."
You can spend the rest of your life.”
Yun Gui wants to be a concubine in the Three Princes' Palace, but not everyone has the chance. She is already the most tolerant of Jiang Yunxu.
"If noble Yun thinks that the late emperor's imperial edict can be changed at will, and that the royal reputation is put under your feet and trampled on at will, then I have nothing to say."
"Don't talk nonsense. Why did I have such intention?" Yun Guiren was so frightened that her back went cold. She did not dare to despise the late emperor.
In fact, this was said to Emperor Lingzhou.
Jiang Yunxu met her gaze without hesitation and waited for an answer. She knew that Emperor Lingzhou would not let her go easily.
Otherwise, I would have agreed to divorce long ago.
The more she actively asked for peace, the more reluctant Lingzhou Emperor was to let her go easily.
"Jiang Yunxu, I still promise you the position of princess. You can choose one of several unmarried princes."
Suddenly, Emperor Lingzhou spoke like this, surprising everyone.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Mr. Jiang Er was the first to stand up and object.
Said a lot of bad things about Jiang Yunxu.
Emperor Lingzhou waved his hand: "I always have to take care of the late emperor and maintain the relationship between the two countries. This is the only way. Jiang Yunxu, I allow you to choose any prince."
Jiang Yunxu was cursing her mother in her heart at this time. She didn't want to marry anyone at all. She just wanted to stay away from the royal family, leave the capital, and fly away with Feng Niang and Brother Tuan.
"Jiang Yunxu!" Emperor Lingzhou put his fingertips on the table, tapped it lightly, and said meaningfully: "I will retain your title of Princess Chen, so that you can continue to enjoy the treatment of a princess, and you can only
I can marry the prince, do you understand?"
Emperor Lingzhou didn't want to be a bad person, and he was charged with forcing his daughter-in-law to reconcile. Anyway, he had many princes, so he didn't care at all if he picked one at random.
Jiang Yunxu tightened her face and refused to speak.
"If you can't pick one out, then I'm going to propose marriage." Emperor Lingzhou thought of a stunningly beautiful man with a stunning face and a well-deserved pride of heaven. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it for an hour." Jiang Yunxu hurriedly interrupted the Lingzhou Emperor.
She didn't know the princes at all, but she didn't want to find herself in a tiger's den just after leaving the wolf's den.
If you really can't escape, at least choose someone you can get along with.
"Jiang Yunxu, don't be so presumptuous in front of the emperor. Do you really think that you are the one who can choose whomever you want?" Mr. Jiang scolded him angrily.
