princess regent lifted from her grave

"Well, Zicheng, my mother announced me into the palace yesterday, and told me that my wedding date to Emperor Liu's granddaughter is next winter."

Ye Zicheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Next winter? How could it take so long? Is it the day chosen by Master Chen, Qin Tianjian?"

"No, it's Lord Chen's apprentice, Lord Li. I just got the news from the palace that Lord Chen has returned home. Emperor Liu went to the palace today to meet the emperor and asked Qin Tianjian to re-select a good day, and was finally rejected by his father. The emperor refused."

"Next winter, the time will be too long. The third brother can take the side concubine into the mansion first, and choose two concubines with good family backgrounds as the side concubines. I don't think the third brother needs to think about it today. After receiving the news, Mr. Prime Minister's First Wife, Mrs. Han and Mu Chengxiang reconciled and left the Prime Minister's Mansion with Miss Mu. They have already started asking people to find a new mansion.

The prime minister's mansion was stolen some time ago, and now the only lady who has money in the prime minister's mansion has left, and the second miss Mu has been disfigured, so I don't think it is necessary for the third brother to let the second miss Mu enter the mansion, it will not help the third brother. "

"Well, what Zicheng said is that I will tell the queen mother and ask her to find a way as soon as possible to get the emperor to order to cancel this engagement. There is another matter, that is, the little princess of Xiyou Kingdom came to our Zisheng Kingdom."

Ye Zicheng looked at the third brother's expression, and immediately understood, "What does the Empress mean, that you want to marry the little princess of Xiyou Kingdom first?"

The third prince looked at Ye Zicheng and said appreciatively, "Zicheng is really smart, that's what the queen mother meant."

Ye Zicheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I guess the empress means that you can't give up on Liu Lingwei."

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "As expected of Zicheng, no wonder my mother always praised you as an idea in front of me, and asked me to discuss with you when I encounter problems. You see, things are really clear."

"But third brother, there is only one person as the main concubine. If Princess Xiyou is made the side concubine, Xiyou Kingdom will not agree, and if Liu Lingwei is made the side concubine, Emperor Liu will not agree either."

"So, this matter is rather tricky. The power behind these two people should not be underestimated. I heard from my mother that Concubine Li Gui often went to the imperial study to deliver supplements to the emperor recently. I am afraid it is also for this purpose."

Ye Zicheng pondered for a while, and said, "Princess Xiyou and Liu Lingwei are both helpful to the third brother. There are two ways to solve this matter. One is that both of them are concubines and flat wives. Prime Minister Mu is very good." example, but I am afraid that the emperor of Xiyou Kingdom will not agree; the second is to find a way to reduce Liu Lingwei to a side concubine."

"Zicheng, Master Liu will not agree."

"Then let's think of a way to make him accept it willingly. The most important thing for a woman is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, there is nothing Emperor Liu can do. It's fine if you don't cancel the engagement. How could Emperor Liu not accept it?"

The third prince frowned, "If Liu Lingwei's reputation is ruined, if I marry her, I will become everyone's laughing stock."

"Third brother, there are many ways for a woman to ruin her reputation. Isn't it only when her innocence is ruined? Isn't Liu Lingwei known as the first of the four beauties? What if her appearance is ruined? Isn't she also known as a talented woman? If there is someone more handsome than her Did the talented girl defeat her? Wouldn’t she lose all the talent and appearance she was so proud of? If she made a fool of herself in front of everyone again, and ruined her reputation again and again, if the third brother leaked the news to Liu Dishi again, Say Miss Liu is unworthy of virtue, not suitable to be a concubine, and ask the emperor to withdraw the engagement, I believe Emperor Liu will find the emperor in advance, and let Miss Liu be demoted to side concubine."

The third prince's eyes were excited when he heard it. It's wonderful. Zicheng's idea is really good. Thinking of the disfigured Liu Lingwei, he couldn't help being a little unhappy, "But Zicheng, if Liu Lingwei is disfigured, I will bring it into the mansion again. I will look at it." It's not comfortable either."

"Third brother, it's not that you want to look at the disfigured Liu Lingwei every day. The third prince's mansion is so big, you put her far away, saying that she needs to rest, and send more maids to take care of her, and visit her from time to time. , Mr. Liu will be grateful to you if he knows about it, and will support you even more in taking that position."

"Okay, okay, Zicheng has a very good idea."

"Third brother, it's time to go to the plum appreciation banquet held by the eldest princess every year. At that time, unmarried men and women will be invited to the princess mansion to enjoy plum blossoms and drink tea. Liu Lingwei, as the head of the four beauties of the holy capital, will definitely be invited. It's time to do it. opportunity."

"Will it cause trouble for elder sister?"

"We arranged for a servant girl to do this. If we find out, it's the servant girl's fault. This servant girl should be the servant girl of the second princess. The servant girl can claim to follow orders, and then kill herself by biting her tongue. There is no proof of death." Ye Zicheng finished speaking meaningfully. He looked at the third prince.

After the third prince came to his senses, he clapped his hands and applauded, "Zicheng's way of killing two birds with one stone is very good. The second princess is born of Li Guifei, and she is also very uncomfortable with Liu Lingwei's behavior on weekdays. The second princess is used to being arrogant and domineering. Wouldn't you be very happy to see Liu Ling slightly disfigured, this will make Emperor Liu even more suspicious of her."

Ye Zicheng nodded, that's what he meant,

"Third brother, I will arrange it."

"That's a lot of hard work, Zicheng."

Ye Zicheng smiled knowingly, "Third brother, this is what I should do."

"The queen mother said that if there is anything that needs her help, she will do her best to help."

"Third Brother, I don't need the Queen's help, but I want Third Brother to tell the eldest princess that Miss Mu is also invited to the banquet."

The third prince asked in confusion, "Mu Fengyan? She's a sick child, what do you invite her to do?"

"Has the third brother forgotten? She is now the future princess of the regent, and her status is extraordinary. According to the investigation of her subordinates, she and her mother went to the prime minister's mansion today to reconcile, and the regent also went, and facilitated the reconciliation And the subordinates told me that Ms. Mu is walking like the wind, she doesn't seem to be sick, so we have to find out."

The third prince nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will ask my elder sister to send an invitation to Mu Fengyan."

"Well, if she grows into Nine Emperor Uncle's helper in the future, we must get rid of this problem as soon as possible."

The third prince agreed very much, "Zicheng's words are reasonable."

The two discussed the details of the plum appreciation banquet for a while before Ye Zicheng left the Third Prince's Mansion.
