Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

The ministers present were already furious at the public mockery of the king.

"Prince Xiyong, please restrain yourself. This is the capital of Beiling, not your backyard." Nan Jingxing stood up and reprimanded sternly.

"Hey, now that Marquis Zhenbei is not here, is it your turn as a young man to give orders?" Chu Feimo glanced at Nan Jingxing coldly. If he had not been in Yujing City, the other party would have died long ago.

"By the way, Emperor Beiling, are you running out of talent? When foreign envoys came to visit, you only sent a small general to greet them. Where is Lu Changfeng, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was famous in all ten countries?"

Chu Feimo asked knowingly and deliberately brought up the incident at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

In the court, except Nan Jingxing, other officials knew nothing about the Gu family's affairs.

When Chu Feimo mentioned Lu Changfeng, everyone became confused and turned their eyes to Xiao Zhan.

"Hey, why didn't the Zhenbei Marquis come today?"

"Indeed, I haven't seen him for several days."

Xiao Zhan replied, "Marquis Zhenbei is unwell, so I have allowed him to rest for a while and not have to deal with state affairs for the time being." Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Chu Feimo responded sarcastically: "Oh? What a pity. I wanted to meet the famous General Zhenbei. But it doesn't matter. Since I have to stay here for a few days, I will find a chance to visit the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Then, he turned the topic back to the group of women: "Speaking of which, Emperor Beiling hasn't decided whether to accept these women or not?"

After observing for a while, Qing Feng found that the calluses on their hands and the way they walked revealed that they were well-trained.

So he whispered his discovery to Xiao Zhan.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhan noticed that those women were indeed all martial artists.

If such a group of women with extraordinary skills were allowed into the harem, the consequences would be disastrous.

Obviously, these were carefully cultivated by Chu Feimo. Once accepted, the secrets of the entire Yujing City would probably fall into the hands of the other party.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan realized that the problem was not simple and fell into deep thought.

Just then, the eunuch's voice came from outside: "Princess Changle has arrived."

Following this announcement, Jiang Xue stepped into the hall.

Her appearance caused quite a stir. After all, there had never been a woman participating in a court meeting before. Suddenly, whispers broke out in the originally quiet hall.

Everyone's attention was attracted by this legendary princess. Even Chu Feimo was shocked by her stunning beauty.

The woman in Xiao Zhan's heart is indeed extraordinary, her beauty is simply overwhelming!

Her unique temperament is unforgettable at first sight, and her noble aura is far beyond the reach of ordinary women.

He secretly made up his mind that he must keep this beauty by his side no matter what.

Looking at the figure of his beloved, Xiao Zhan was slightly surprised, but soon regained his composure. He shifted his gaze from Xiaochun beside her to Tieyi beside him, and immediately understood the reason.

It must be Tieyi who revealed the news from the court to Xiaochun, which led Xiaoxue to come in person.

"Princess Changle, this is the court. Why are you, a woman, here? " Several old noble clan leaders questioned Jiang Xue unfriendly.

In their eyes, women should stay in the harem and should not get involved in state affairs.

However, Jiang Xue asked in return: "Since ancient times, which law stipulates that women cannot enter the court?"

These words left the originally aggressive nobles speechless.

In fact, there was no law that explicitly prohibited women from participating in government affairs. It was just an unwritten custom that had existed for a long time.

"I felt a bit bored in the harem. I heard it's very lively here, so I came to take a look. Is there any problem?" Jiang Xue answered nonchalantly.

After all, she was already known for being difficult to mess with when she was in Prince Gong's Mansion, and she didn't care about the opinions of these nobles.

Chu Feimo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a charming smile to Jiang Xue, "I have heard that Princess Changle is different from others. After meeting her today, I find that she is indeed worthy of her reputation."

Even so, Jiang Xue was not moved by his handsome appearance. She just nodded politely and then turned to look at Xiao Zhan.

"Xiaoxue, come over here." Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand to her in public, motioning her to come closer.

At the same time, he looked at Chu Feimo with a warning in his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with the way the other party looked at Xiaoxue just now.

He wanted to make it clear to everyone that Jiang Xue was not someone who could be coveted casually.

"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette." Someone couldn't help but remind him.

The old subordinates and ministers tried to stop him, but Jiang Xue ignored them. Instead, she smiled at Xiao Zhan, then slowly walked up the stairs and came to his side.

"What do you think we should do with these women?"

Xiao Zhan pointed at the women sent by Chu Feimo and gave the decision to Jiang Xue. His actions clearly told everyone present, including Chu Feimo, that Jiang Xue was the future queen of Beiling and no one else was allowed to covet her.

Jiang Xue's eyes swept across the group of women, and then turned to Chu Feimo who had been staring at her. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Yun Che, since these women are pretty good, let them all stay."

A hint of pride flashed across Chu Feimo's face, while Xiao Zhan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

"Do you really think so?" Xiao Zhan asked, feeling a little unhappy.

Even though he understood that Jiang Xue might have other plans, he still found it hard to accept such an answer.

"Princess Changle is such a reasonable person," Chu Feimo smiled even more brightly, "Emperor Beiling, since the princess has said so, you would be looking down on us Xiyong if you disagree."

However, Jiang Xue continued, "But... considering that their status is not noble enough, they are not suitable to enter the harem, so as not to make the Beiling royal family a laughing stock. It just so happens that I still need some servants over there, so why not let them go to my place to help."

After saying that, she turned to Xiao Zhan and winked, revealing a rare playful smile, "What do you think?"

Seeing Jiang Xue's rare lively expression, Xiao Zhan's dissatisfaction instantly disappeared, his eyes were full of doting, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"How can this be possible?" Chu Feimo smiled, but his eyes revealed anger, "Emperor Beiling, Xiyong's kindness should not be treated with contempt."

When he first heard that Jiang Xue was willing to accept those women, he thought she was a sensible person, but he didn't expect her proposal to be so disrespectful.

If the person sent by Xiyong ended up becoming just a servant, it would undoubtedly be an insult to Xiyong in front of everyone.

"Why not?" Jiang Xue retorted, "Since the Prince of Xiyong sent the person here and Beiling accepted him, then it is natural for Beiling to decide how to arrange it."
