Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1106 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 32

Dapangju had no intention of promoting Meng Jingxian. Meng Jingxian was the only girl in the Mengguo Mansion. When Meng Jingxian got married in the future, it was still unclear whether she could keep the title. Therefore, Dapangju did not want to give any honor to the Mengguo Mansion, even though he had thought about marrying Meng Jingxian to Prince Guo as his legitimate wife.

In a word, the Mengguo Mansion has no value to Big Fat Orange.

So Da Pangju immediately issued an edict to give Meng Jingxian to Prince Guo as a concubine, and the wedding would be held in August.

Prince Guo declined as usual and again brought up his love for her in earnest words. Fat Ju wanted to go along with it, but Jiang Xinxin had already made up her mind. He felt that there was no need to offend the Queen Jiang Xinxin over such trivial matters.

Fat Orange also laughed: "You, it's okay for a man to be a playboy, but there will always be a time for a playboy to turn back. But Meng from the Mengguo Mansion has been unable to get married because of you for these years. Their wealth and life are not as important as your position as a concubine in the Prince's Mansion."

Prince Guo wanted to continue struggling, "I know that it is very rare to find someone who loves you. However, if I have a house full of women in my backyard, even if I meet such a person in the future, I am afraid there will be no chance for us to get married..."

These words actually reminded Big Fat Orange of the old story about Queen Chunyuan.

Big Fat Ju thought that when he met Chun Yuan, he had married Chun Yuan's half sister as his concubine, and Chun Yuan herself was also engaged. So even though they were in love with each other and could eventually overcome many obstacles and be together, they also hurt many people in the process and even bore many infamy.

When Big Fat Orange thought of Chun Yuan, he naturally thought of the current queen.

Jiang Xinxin's words that day are still ringing in her ears. She still cannot get over Honghui's death. Even now...

After Da Pangju had Chunyuan, he felt that other women were used by him, and some women were not even worth being used by him. Other women were just tools for him to miss Chunyuan, such as Yixiu, the concubine who gave birth to his eldest son. Even though they once loved each other and had the romance of "seeing each other day and night like this bracelet", in the end it was just a dark history that could not be overcome.

Even Yixiu herself has been labeled as "Chun Yuan's concubine sister" since Chun Yuan appeared. Her deep affection and friendship only make him feel embarrassed and unbearable.

But when Jiang Xinxin came, she also regarded Yixiu's experiences as black history. Dapangju, a conceited man, couldn't stand it, and his feelings naturally changed.

That day, Jiang Xinxin mentioned the so-called "mutual understanding" of Prince Guo, and sneered sarcastically, "Prince Guo is devoted to the pursuit of mutual understanding. She may accompany him to watch flowers and snow, stars and moon, and even play music and dance with him, and talk about everything from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life. What kind of background can a woman have?"

"I am a woman myself, but I still look down on those women so harshly. I am just laughing at Prince Guo's ignorance."

The Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties in official history were the period when feudal centralization reached its peak. Therefore, even if this world is somewhere between reality and fiction, the restrictions on women would only be more stringent than in official history.

Jiang Xinxin once went to a similar world as Noble Lady Fucha, but that world was already a serious real world, very different from this world, so sometimes she always felt restrained when doing things.

At this moment, Chun Yuan's face and Jiang Xinxin's face appeared alternately in Big Fat Orange's mind. Chun Yuan's earnest instructions before his death rang in his ears again. Big Fat Orange couldn't help feeling annoyed, and his face suddenly darkened. He didn't want to deal with Prince Guo anymore. When he turned around and left, he only left Prince Guo with a sentence "The imperial edict cannot be changed."

Prince Guo did not expect that Big Fat Ju would no longer go along with it and let his backyard be empty. He looked at Big Fat Ju's embarrassed and irritable back with a flickering look in his eyes. He went back and gathered people to investigate what had happened in the harem. If he did not figure out the reason for Big Fat Ju's change, he would not be at peace.

Su Peisheng went to Duke Meng's mansion in person to convey the decree of marriage. Everyone in Duke Meng's mansion was ecstatic. Duke Meng's hair turned white, and he gave out a silver note of 200 taels at once.

When Su Peisheng, who had not yet fallen, heard Duke Meng asking about the whole story of the marriage, he replied: "The Emperor and the Empress are still thinking about the original dispute. The Empress has mentioned it to the Empress Dowager several times before. However, Prince Guo did not want to get married yet. She made the Empress Dowager happy, so she could not force the prince."

Duke Meng and his wife looked at the woman who seemed to be crying all the tears for the rest of her life, and cursed Prince Guo behind their backs for being ungrateful and the Queen Mother for being unreasonable. After receiving the news, Fatty Ju felt a little better.

He didn't want to give any help to Prince Guo.

The news that Prince Guo was granted marriage also spread throughout the Old Summer Palace. This time, apart from the three pregnant women, the only ones who came to the Old Summer Palace were Concubine Qi, Concubine Nian, Noble Lady Cao and Princess Wen Yi.

Concubine Cao was not the person that Big Fat Ju wanted to take with him. It was Concubine Nian who wanted to make trouble for Concubine Cao. She took Princess Wen Yi away first, and then, after seeing Concubine Cao behave herself and be obedient, she reluctantly took her with her.

Princess Wen Yi really suffered when she was raised by Concubine Nian. Da Pangju really loved this cute and good-tempered daughter, so Concubine Nian often used Princess Wen Yi to win Concubine Nian's favor, and Da Pangju was happy to cooperate with her, pinching his nose.

But Princess Wen Yi was very young and had been brought up to be pampered. If she changed her environment, she would be easily frightened at night and cry incessantly. After being scolded twice, Concubine Nian simply asked Song Zhi to feed Princess Wen Yi calming soup.

Concubine Cao's love for Princess Wen Yi was ingrained in her bones. Even if she had to live frugally on weekdays, she would make sure the wet nurse beside Princess Wen Yi lived well. So one of the wet nurses secretly told Concubine Cao about the calming soup, risking offending Concubine Nian.

When Concubine Cao heard the wet nurse say that if the tranquilizing soup was taken too much, her son might become a fool, she felt terrified. She didn't dare to look in the direction of Concubine Nian in the main hall, for fear that she would accidentally expose her murderous intentions towards Concubine Nian and cause Princess Wen Yi to suffer.

Concubine Nian happened to bring Princess Wen Yi over again and threatened Concubine Cao to find a way to help win favor and let Big Fat Orange come more often. Concubine Cao immediately gave an idea: "A few days ago, I accidentally saw Concubine Wan's maid Huanbi burning something. I thought Concubine Wan did something secretly, but when I cleaned up the residue, I found out it was the anniversary of Huanbi's mother's death."

Concubine Nian was getting impatient. "What exactly do you want to say? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush for me!"

Concubine Cao was so angry that her teeth were about to break, but she pretended to be loyal and honest and to share Concubine Nian's worries. "I think Huanbi is not bad looking, and she is also Concubine Wan's confidant. If Huanbi betrays Concubine Wan, I think Concubine Wan will be disheartened for a few days."

Concubine Nian finally understood Concubine Cao's plan, but she was a little unhappy: "Do I have to use this method to achieve my goal?"

What about Concubine Cao?

But he pretended to be at his wit's end and said aggrievedly: "Now even in the garden, the Queen has very strict control over the garden. We can't bring anything in. This is the only way."
