She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

After entering the Yikun Palace, Chu Tingyu discovered that the eldest princess was also there, drinking tea and chatting with Concubine Zhong.

Chu Tingyu came forward to pay his respects, and the princess deliberately complained, "Yu'er, you didn't come to see me after returning to the capital, so I can only come to your mother's palace to see you."

Chu Tingyu sat down opposite them and apologized, "Please forgive me, my aunt, I just returned to the capital to be busy with affairs. I wanted to come to see you after I finished my work in the past two days."

"Well, you must come to my house in two days. I have specially left a few jars of good wine for you, waiting for your triumphant return to drink." The eldest princess said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Concubine Zhong had been thinking about something, so she directly explained the reason why she asked him to come to the palace, "Yu'er, I asked your aunt to come here today to discuss your marriage."

She was worried that Chu Tingyu wouldn't listen to her, so she asked the eldest princess to be his lobbyist.

Seeing Chu Tingyu was about to speak, Concubine Zhong spoke first, "Listen to me first. Mother knows that in order to avenge your eldest brother, you made a vow that you would not marry until the northwest was pacified."

"But now that the war in the northwest has ended, you should consider your lifelong affairs. You are almost thirty years old. Which young man at your age doesn't have three wives and four concubines, as well as two sons and two daughters? Do you know how anxious your mother is?"

Concubine Zhong became more and more excited as she spoke, "I dream of holding my grandson. Yu'er, if you don't get married, I..."

"Don't be excited, Concubine." The princess advised, "Yu'er is not a child, he knows the importance of things. Besides, before he left for the northwest, Yu'er told me that he already has someone he likes."

Concubine Zhong's eyes widened with surprise, "Really? Who is it?"

It’s good to have someone you like, which means Chu Tingyu is willing to get married.

By then, He Bingshu will be the principal wife, and the woman he likes will be the concubine, and he will have someone in his backyard.

Chu Tingyu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should bring it up at this time.

Although he didn't care, his mother must have minded the fact that Li Jingwan had been married.

He wanted to communicate his feelings with Li Jingwan first, then ask for the emperor's permission, and finally tell his mother.

As long as the emperor supports it, my mother will not refuse.

In this way, Li Jingwan will not be wronged.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the princess joked, "Yu'er is worried that the other party will not agree?"

"Not to mention that you are a handsome man, which lady would not agree? Just based on your title as a prince, I think there is no woman in the world who would not want to marry you."

"Li Jingwan, who returned to Beijing with you this time, has already been married once, and she was the one who took the initiative to divorce her husband."

"But she was named a princess, and she has the Li family behind her, so her status is different from before. Everyone knows that I am good friends with Li Jingwan's mother, and several dukes from noble families have come to me and want me to be a matchmaker, willing to marry her as a mistress, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Tingyu's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Aunt, this is absolutely not possible. If Li Jingwan marries someone else, it will end my marriage fate in this life."

Now it was the eldest princess and Concubine Zhong's turn to change their expressions.

"Yu'er, what do you mean by this?" Concubine Zhong had some guesses in her mind, and her voice became sharp, "Do you know what you are saying?"

Chu Tingyu didn't answer, but stood up and knelt in front of her.

"Mother, the person I like is Li Jingwan. I have liked her for a long time. Apart from her, I will not marry anyone else."

Her guess came true, and Concubine Zhong found it hard to accept it for a while, "Yuer! How could you..."

"Li Jingwan is married, how can she marry you?!"

Chu Tingyu did not give in. "She has divorced her husband and is now unmarried. Why can't I marry her? If I can't marry the one I love, I would rather not get married."

"You!" Concubine Zhong was extremely angry.

At this moment, the eldest princess suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no."

She remembered something, "I heard that the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion went to the General's Mansion today to deliver the engagement letter and dowry to marry Pingyang Marquis. Could it be..."

Chu Tingyu's face showed a rare look of panic.

Concubine Zhong, who was objecting just now, stood up in shock. The hairpins on her head bumped into each other, and she lost her usual dignity as a concubine. "No!"

"How could the Marquis of Pingyang be so unreasonable? He just went to deliver the engagement letter and dowry..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Tingyu had already stood up and walked out quickly.

Concubine Zhong called out from behind him, "Yu'er, go quickly."

The eldest princess looked at Concubine Zhong with some amusement at her quick change of expression. If she was not unable to leave the palace at will, she would have probably followed to stop it.

"My Lady, don't you want Yu'er to marry Li Jingwan?"

"He's stubborn, and it's no joke." Concubine Zhong sighed helplessly, "If Li Jingwan really marries someone else, I won't be able to have a grandson in this life."

She sighed heavily again, "I was finally looking forward to him pacifying the northwest and being willing to marry, but in the end he fell in love with Li Jingwan."

She felt a tightness in her chest just thinking about it.

"In fact, I think Li Jingwan is very suitable for Yu'er." The eldest princess advised, "Although she got married once, she has no children, and she was the one who divorced her husband. The fault lies entirely with the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion."

"Yao and I are close friends, and I have watched her grow up. This child looks gentle, but in fact she is strong-willed and smart, otherwise she would not have exposed the conspiracy of Wu'an Marquis Mansion."

"Moreover, she did not feel sorry for herself after divorcing her husband. She went to the northwest to do business, found her brother, and helped the Northwest Army fight. She was named a princess by the emperor."

The princess actually always admired Li Jingwan. "Look at these things. If it were a man, it would be difficult to accomplish any one of them. But she has accomplished all of them, which shows that she is very capable."

Concubine Zhong had to admit, "She is very capable, but she is married after all. If Yu'er is willing to marry her as a concubine, I have no objection. I have long been optimistic about He Bingshu, and the He family has a good reputation, which will be a great help to Yu'er."

The princess smiled and said, "My Lady, with Yu'er's current strength, does he still need to rely on a woman's family background? Besides, the Li family is not bad. Most importantly, the woman he likes is definitely not a rich lady raised in seclusion."

"What we say doesn't count anyway." The eldest princess picked up the teacup and blew away the tea foam gently. "You also know that Yu'er has a strong temper. If he can't marry Li Jingwan, you can worry about it later."

Concubine Zhong frowned, indignant, "How can Marquis Pingyang compare to Yu'er?"

She asked again, "Princess, has there ever been a precedent of a prince robbing a bride in the previous dynasty? Will it have a big impact on Yu'er?"

The princess suppressed her smile.

It seems that Concubine Zhong is determined to drink the daughter-in-law tea offered by Li Jingwan.

-

Chu Tingyu left the palace and rushed all the way to the general's mansion.

The concierge was very surprised to see him. Before he could speak, Chu Tingyu asked, "Where is the princess?"

"Your Majesty, the princess is in the mansion."

"I have something urgent to discuss with the princess, so there's no need to pass on the message." He walked in and suddenly stopped. "Has Marquis Pingyang left?"

"He just left not long ago." The doorman was even more confused. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Tingyu's face change. He walked forward quickly, and two servants followed to meet him.

Chu Tingyu was taken to the main courtyard, where he saw many servants carrying lipstick-colored boxes and walking out. Xiang Mingfang at the side called out, "Be careful, move them to the warehouse first."

The box was engraved with twin lotus flowers and was only used to hold dowry.
