The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

She gently nudged the princess and reminded her, "The princess is old, don't get sick from anger."

"Now that things have gotten so bad, who else can the fourth young lady marry if not Mr. Qian? If the princess has made up her mind and doesn't want Mr. Qian to marry Xie Ruxue as his principal wife, can the young lady from our palace still marry him as a concubine?"

This reminder instantly brightened the princess's eyes. Since Xie Ruxue was unwilling to be Mr. Qian's wife, wouldn't it be better for her to be a concubine?

The princess held back her laughter and immediately stepped forward to comfort the princess affectionately.

"Aunt, calm down. This child has been with Mrs. Bao since she was little, and she is the most unruly. Don't take anything she says to heart, or she will make you sick."

After saying a few words to comfort her, the princess felt it necessary to remind the princess that she could take Xie Ruxue as her concubine.

So she turned around and pretended to discuss with Prince Fenyang: "Prince, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. Xue'er is a child who doesn't have manners. You should also scold her. With such a well-behaved character, no family would want her to be the principal wife. If she hadn't been reincarnated into the palace, she wouldn't have been wanted even if she went out to be a concubine."

"It's a pity that she will marry into our aunt's family in the future. Our aunt understands our family's reputation. If it were another family, they would hear Xue'er's unpleasant words and might not agree to the marriage. Xue'er would only be able to become a concubine."

Prince Fenyang was just about to say that it was not necessary, how could his daughter be a concubine, when he heard the princess turn around and say to the princess: "Aunt, you won't let Xue'er be a concubine, right?"

"Xue'er is at least a daughter of our palace. Even though she is a concubine's daughter, she is also a legitimate bloodline of the palace!"

The princess's fierce attack finally had an effect. The princess looked smug and said with a sinister smile, "It's an honor for her to be my concubine!"

"Since you don't want to marry my grandson, then fine, I want to see who in the world would dare to marry you after you become my grandson's woman!"

If this matter was kept secret, Xie Ruxue might still marry secretly. But judging from the princess' tone, after today, I'm afraid no one would not know that Xie Ruxue had become Mr. Qian's woman.

As a result, no one dared to marry Xie Ruxue. After all, no one from a wealthy family would want a second-hand girl, and people from a small family were not worthy of the royal palace.

Things had come to this point, and Prince Fenyang knew that Xie Ruxue had no other choice. He glared at Mrs. Bao and hinted, "Why don't you talk to Xue'er properly? You're going to get married soon, why are you talking nonsense? Fortunately, auntie understands us and doesn't bother with us, otherwise wouldn't this marriage be ruined?"

Bao wanted to say that it would be better if it was not so, but seeing the stern expression on Prince Fenyang's face, she dared not say anything offensive, so she could only reluctantly say, "Children are ignorant, please don't mind it, Princess."

The princess was not in a hurry now. She was helped by the princess to sit down. Her tone was even gentle. She smiled and said, "As a grandmother, I naturally wouldn't mind what a little girl said. But since she and my grandson have become de facto husband and wife, and she said such hurtful words, it would be difficult for my grandson to marry her if he is not happy with her."

"Oh, by the way, some time ago, the Queen Mother said that Princess Minghua was about to reach the age of marriage, and she intended to bring Princess Minghua together with my useless grandson. I can't just reject the Queen Mother's kindness. My dear grandson, this is your lifelong event after all. What do you think?"

Master Qian saw the princess's change of attitude and immediately understood that the princess was trying to lower the price. Even though he wanted to marry Xie Ruxue, he pretended to be serious and said, "Grandma, I will listen to you. Since my cousin doesn't want to marry me, it's good for us to have nothing to do with each other."

"I am also a victim of today's misunderstanding. If my cousin blames me for ruining my cousin's innocence, he can just ask the clan officials and the Dali Temple to investigate. The mastermind behind this can't just get away. Then I can clear my name."

Meng Wen Yao wanted to laugh out loud after hearing this. How could Prince Fenyang report the case to the authorities for the sake of his reputation? Bao had planned so many things in private, and it was impossible for her to agree to investigate the case. Xie Ruxue could only suffer in silence in this matter.

However, Xie Ruxue has not changed her mind yet, and still thinks that she is the daughter of the high and mighty Prince Fenyang and can choose her husband at will.

Don’t you know that you have offended both the princess and Mr. Qian, and you might not even have a wife?

As expected, the more Young Master Qian and the princess showed that they did not want to get married, the more anxious Prince Fenyang became. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Aunt, these two children have already had physical contact, how can they still be separated by marriage? If Xue'er marries someone else, and people know about this incident, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone in the future? If you don't let Xue'er in, wouldn't that be the end of her life?"

The princess then sneered, "It's not that I didn't let her in, it's that she didn't want to, and it just so happened that the Queen Mother had other arrangements."

"Besides, it's just losing her virginity, why would it cost her life? The Queen Mother just wants to choose a girl with good family background and talent to go to the temple to chant sutras and pray for blessings on her behalf. I think Xue'er is suitable. She doesn't need to get married anyway, so it's a good opportunity for her to do errands for the Queen Mother, which is also an honor for our family."

When she heard that Xie Ruxue was going to be sent to a nunnery, Bao realized belatedly that something was wrong. She said in a panic, "Your Highness, Xue'er is still young. She can't go to a nunnery! Can we send her far away?"

Before Prince Fenyang could say anything, the princess slammed the table and said, "No, our Xie family's daughter represents the face of the Xie family once she goes out. A daughter who has lost her virginity should be hanged with a rope instead of going to a nunnery. If I didn't know about this, it would be fine. Now that I know, Xie Ruxue can't be sent away, otherwise it will bring shame to our Xie family in the future."

"Ms. Bao, I see that you are unwilling to destroy the reputation of my Xie family. What is your intention?"

"And you!"

The princess pointed at the Prince of Fenyang and said, "There's a scandal in your family, but instead of cleaning up the mess, you're trying to cover it up. Don't you think about the fact that there's no family in the capital that doesn't know about this? Don't you care about your ancestors' reputation at all?"

The princess's series of accusations confused Prince Fenyang.

The little bit of love that Prince Fenyang had for Xie Ruxue was fading quickly when he thought about the reputation of the entire palace.

Meng Wenyao looked at the stalemate and whispered, "Weren't we here to discuss marriage? Why did it get to this point?"

After hearing this, Prince Fenyang said hurriedly: "Aunt, it's all because my nephew doesn't know how to talk. We were originally going to discuss the marriage, but now that the two children are like this, why don't we choose a date and settle the marriage? Please don't mind the younger generation's rude words."
