Chapter 330 Moving into the Palace
Chapter 330 Moving into the Palace
"Linghui, do you have someone you like?"
Mi Qiuyan looked at Duan Linghui in surprise and asked anxiously, "Who is it? We are good sisters. How could you not tell me such a big thing?"
"What does it matter if I say it? I can't marry him."
"Tell me about it, I'll help you analyze it, what if it works?"
"It's the King of Qin."
Duan Linghui couldn't help but blushing when she mentioned Xiao Mo. She really, really liked Xiao Mo. If he couldn't marry her in this life, she didn't plan to marry anyone else. In her eyes, no one was better than Xiao Mo.
"If I remember correctly, the King of Qin has only one princess. If you want to marry into the palace, you can't be a princess, but you can be a concubine."
"How is that possible? The prince said that he would not marry any other woman into the palace except the princess."
Mi Qiuyan laughed softly.
"Linghui, you are still a little girl. Didn't the man say that to his wife when they first got married? But look at that wealthy family, they have three wives and four concubines."
"As long as you want, being a princess may be difficult, but being a concubine is not difficult."
"Sister Mi, please tell me how I can become the concubine of the King of Qin?"
Duan Linghui suddenly grabbed Mi Qiuyan's hand, and was extremely excited.
"It's actually very simple. With the relationship between General Duan and the prince, you can find a reason to move into the palace first, then find a chance to get close to the prince, and then just wait until the rice is cooked and it will be done."
"This is not good."
"What's the good of it? In the future, there will definitely be concubines in the backyard of the palace. Concubine, go and take up the position of concubine first. If you move slowly, the position of concubine may be taken by someone else."
"The King of Qin has just arrived in Ningchuan City not long ago. Just wait and see. It won't be long before officials will curry favor with the King of Qin and send people to his backyard. If there are people with high birth, there won't be enough for both the concubine and the concubine position."
Duan Linghui was very moved by what she said. Since Xiao Mo would marry a concubine sooner or later, why couldn't it be her?
"Sister Mi, please give me some advice. How can I live in the palace? The jealous princess will definitely not agree. In the past, I just got a little closer to the prince, and she said I was not decent and didn't know the rules."
When talking about the past, Duan Linghui felt angry. She had suffered a lot at the hands of Ye Jintang.
"This is easy, but it requires General Duan to come forward. Just say that you are getting older, and living alone in the Duan family is afraid that it will affect your future marriage. Go to live in the palace first, and the princess will teach you. When you are married in the future, your in-laws will look up to you."
"Ah, let the princess teach me?"
"It's just an excuse. It's up to you how you live after you go to the palace."
"it is good."
Duan Linghui's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Mi Qiuyan say this.
"Is it really possible?"
"Of course, Linghui, you have to seize your own happiness. If you don't take the initiative, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Encouraged by Mi Qiuyan, Duan Linghui suddenly felt that as long as she could go to the Prince Qin's Mansion, she could become a concubine.
"Then I'll go talk to my brother."
"Well, I think General Duan will definitely help you."
Duan Feng returned home in the evening, and before he had dinner, Duan Linghui came to see him.
She briefly told Duan Feng her idea, and Duan Feng directly rejected it.
"Linghui, what did we talk about last time? You clearly promised me that you would not enter the palace, but you changed your mind so quickly."
"Brother, I don't want to miss the prince, but I can't control myself. I'm going to say this today. If you don't help me become a concubine, I will hang myself now. Anyway, it's better to die than to live."
Duan Feng had no way to deal with Duan Linghui's fuss.
He paced back and forth in the study room with a headache. He had already known what kind of person Ye Jintang was. It was almost impossible for Duan Linghui to be Xiao Mo's concubine.
But seeing Duan Linghui trapped in love, he, as a brother, felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Linghui, this is the last time. If the prince still cannot accept you, I will help you find someone and arrange your marriage before the New Year."
"it is good."
"We always have to have a time limit. How long do you want to stay in the palace?"
"Before the Little New Year, as long as the prince doesn't accept me before the Little New Year, I will give up and get married."
"Okay, Linghui, you can't go back on your words this time, and I won't give you a chance to regret it."
Duan Feng was also determined to cut the Gordian knot and not be soft-hearted. In the past, he always felt that Duan Linghui was young and ignorant, and wanted to keep her by his side and teach her well. Now it seems that she will only give up on Xiao Mo after getting married.
Duan Feng went to find Xiao Mo that day and told him what had happened.
"Your Highness, you can see that my house is full of rough men, which is really inconvenient. Please help me put in a few good words and let Linghui stay in the palace for a while. I will find a good family for Linghui before the New Year."
Duan Feng came to him for help, and Xiao Mo was quite embarrassed. The things Duan Linghui had done in the past had caused him a lot of trouble. If he agreed today, he was afraid that there would be more trouble.
But Duan Feng was his brother after all, and he couldn't just refuse him directly when he asked for his help.
"Your Highness, my brother and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. I raised Linghui by myself. Without her mother's guidance, she is a bit erratic, although I have hired a nanny to take care of her."
Duan Feng sighed and knelt down in front of Xiao Mo.
"Your Majesty, please help me this time because I have devoted my life to you all these years. I only have one sister, Linghui. As long as she gets married, I will be relieved."
Now that things have come to this, what else can Xiao Mo say?
Duan Feng has never married because of Duan Linghui, which shows that he really loves his sister.
"Get up first, and I'll tell the princess later."
"Your Majesty, I have brought Linghui here. I have to lead the troops out for patrol tomorrow morning. I am afraid it will take four or five days for me to come back. I am worried about leaving Linghui alone at home, so I might as well bring her here first."
His move of acting first and reporting later instantly made Xiao Mo extremely unhappy. He felt as if a stone was forced into his heart, making him feel suffocated and panicked.
He could more or less guess what Duan Feng was thinking. He didn't refuse not because he had any feelings towards Duan Linghui, but because he hoped to put an end to the Duan brothers and sisters' unrealistic thoughts.
Xiao Mo didn't say anything more and had Duan Linghui taken to the backyard and sent to Ye Jintang's place for resettlement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duan Feng was very happy to see that the matter was accomplished, and he stepped forward to salute Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo didn't say much, just waved his hand and let him go.
After Duan Feng left, Xiao Mo couldn't help rubbing his brows, hoping that Duan Linghui wouldn't do anything weird. He really didn't want their brotherly relationship to be affected by their children's affairs.
