RPAGF Chapter 411: Looking Forward
Chapter 411: Looking Forward
In her previous life, Shi Yingnan was ultimately unable to escape the scheme of Concubine Shen and her son and married Ye Xuanrong, successfully becoming the queen. However, Ye Xuanrong's heart and eyes were filled with Song Muxue, and for the sake of Song Muxue, she remained chaste and never consummated the marriage with Shi Yingnan.
Even so, Shi Yingnan still tried her best to manage the harem for him, endured all kinds of ridicule and contempt for him, and had to be careful to deal with Song Muxue's various provocations and calculations.
Even though Song Muxue had Ye Xuanrong's unprincipled and unlimited defiance and connivance, she never gained any advantage over Shi Yingnan, which shows Shi Yingnan's ability.
Shi Yingnan is such an outstanding woman, even if she wants to get married, she will never marry Ye Xuanrong. It is not too much for her to choose any outstanding man in the world.
So after General Zhenyuan returned to the capital, she wanted to find an opportunity to meet Shi Yingnan and remind her that she must not marry Ye Xuanrong under any circumstances.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yingnan looked down on Ye Xuanrong at all and came to find her first.
"I haven't thanked Yunxi yet!"
Shi Yingnan was full of gratitude to Song Yunxi. If it weren't for Song Yunxi, she would have had to marry the Sixth Prince.
Although her father wanted to exchange her military achievements for her right to choose her own marriage, she did not want her father to be criticized for being too powerful, and she did not want her father to be hated by people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, if Song Yunxi had not come to her rescue, the Queen Mother would most likely have granted the marriage, and she would have had to marry.
Even the Emperor was powerless to disobey the Empress Dowager's decree.
"Thank yourself if you want to thank someone."
Song Yunxi smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, no need to be so polite."
The queen looked at her plain clothes. This time, her long hair was only tied up with a wooden hairpin. She said helplessly, "You are so reluctant to use even a hairpin now?"
"Isn't this too much trouble for me?"
Song Yunxi scratched her head. "I really don't like the hassle. I have to start dressing up two hours in advance, dragging heavy clothes and jewelry for a whole day, and then I have to carefully remove my makeup and take a bath when I get home..."
Thinking of this, Song Yunxi couldn't help but shudder: "I feel like dying just thinking about it."
Wouldn’t it be better for her to sleep a little longer?
The queen finally understood that this girl was not just stingy and unwilling to buy it, she was just lazy.
Song Yunxi yawned, looking lazy and without any energy: "How about I find a place to sleep, and call me when it's over?"
Ye Youran pulled her up and said, "They have schemed against my fourth brother and have even come to our doorstep. You are really careless."
She had already seen Tao Yuechan's feelings for Ye Xuanqi last time, but Tao Yuechan was now the Sixth Prince's Consort after all, she wouldn't be so reckless as to cuckold Ye Xuanrong... No way...
However, considering Ye Xuanrong's nature of liking to be cuckolded, he might even instigate Tao Yuechan to seduce Ye Xuanqi!
[Isn't it the same old trick of drugging and catching an adulterer? I'm tired of it. Can they try something new? ]
She was looking forward to their methods.
The celebration banquet began as scheduled. Seeing Ye Xuanrong abandoning Tao Yuechan and constantly showing off his presence in front of Shi Yingnan, Song Yunxi knew that he was shifting his target again.
Looking at Ye Xuanrong like this, Song Yunxi even started to doubt whether the Ye Xuanrong who had remained chaste and aloof from women for Song Muxue in his previous life was the same person as the one in front of him.
Shi Yingnan was a person who would cut through any trouble quickly. When Ye Xuanrong pestered her, she refused bluntly, "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, I have no plans to get married, so please don't waste your energy on me."
Shi Yingnan said this without avoiding the people at the banquet, and her voice was frank and loud, so many people heard it. While being shocked by Shi Yingnan's boldness, they also felt embarrassed for the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince is really a fence-sitter now. He will marry whoever has greater power. Does he really think that being the Sixth Prince's wife is such an important identity that all women will flock to her?
Especially since he had only married Tao Yuechan as his principal wife for a few days, he was already thinking about General Zhenyuan's daughter.
As if he had sensed the hidden gazes around him, Ye Xuanrong felt ashamed. He glared at Tao Yuechan fiercely and then left.
Song Yunxi saw clearly the ruthlessness of Ye Xuanrong when he left, and whispered to Shi Yingnan: "You offended Ye Xuanrong today. With his current character, he will definitely find a chance to retaliate. You must be careful in everything, and remember to bring a few more people with you when you go out."
Shi Yingnan didn't want to make her worry, so she smiled and said, "I know. I won't go anywhere else except the military camp. Even if someone wants to cause trouble for me, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it."
If a villain like the Sixth Prince dared to cause trouble for her, then don't blame her, a crude military general, for being ruthless.
Although she didn't know the inside story of the crisis in the Imperial Master's Mansion a few days ago, after analyzing it with her father, she knew that it was all caused by Concubine Shen and the Sixth Prince, which made Shi Yingnan's disgust towards him even worse.
During the banquet, General Zhenyuan and his daughter were naturally the focus of attention, but the dispute between Ye Xuanrong and Tao Yuechan also became the object of everyone's attention.
Tao Yuechan tore at Ye Xuanrong like a madman: "Tell me what you mean clearly, don't forget that I am your prince's consort!"
Ye Xuanrong was no match for Tao Yuechan, but he refused to give in: "Without the three letters and six ceremonies, you are just a concubine carried into my palace in a sedan chair. How can you be called a prince's consort?"
Tao Yuechan obviously didn't expect Ye Xuanrong to deny her identity. Her pretty face flushed red. "Ye Xuanrong, you were the one who begged the Emperor to grant me marriage, and you were the one who was eager to marry me. But now you don't acknowledge my identity. Are you still a man?"
Ye Xuanrong was furious when he was questioned in public whether he was a man. He raised his hand and slapped Tao Yuechan in the face: "You are already a slut that I am tired of playing with. Do you think I am a man?"
Tao Yuechan's face had just recovered from being beaten red and swollen by Zhou Feng, and then she was slapped in public by Ye Xuanrong. All the emotions that had been pent up in her heart for the past few days burst out, and she didn't care and just beat Ye Xuanrong violently.
Ye Youran: "...Um, do we really not need to persuade them?"
Song Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Beating is love, scolding is love, it's just a little hobby between a couple, why should we outsiders interfere?"
Everyone: ...Miss, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Ye Xuanqi also put his hands behind his back and said, "Yun Xi is right. If you ruin someone's marriage, you will be struck by lightning. I'm sure none of you want to be struck by lightning!"
Everyone: ...Your Highness, please listen to what you are saying.
The person who was originally worried about something happening and wanted to pull Tao Yuechan away retracted his foot.
Who would be so desperate to stop him when he had already said something so serious that he would be struck by lightning? It's not like he has too long to live.
"what……"
Tao Yuechan suddenly stabbed Ye Xuanrong's chest with a dagger that came from nowhere.
