Chapter 166 Willing to be a Concubine
Chapter 166 Willing to be a Concubine
Yun Zheng looked at the woman who had always only glanced at her secretly in the Prime Minister's Residence. She was a little caught off guard when she suddenly looked directly into his eyes and said such bold words.
Moreover, he hadn't discovered until this moment...
There is actually a hint of similarity between her and Wan'er's eyes and eyebrows.
But when Wan'er was here before, he never noticed...
Thinking about the purpose of today's visit, Yun Zheng temporarily suppressed the pain in his heart when he thought of Song Wan, and also lowered his voice.
"My third sister's feelings for me, my father has already told me."
"I also know that my father said some foolish things when we met last time, but please rest assured, Third Sister. Although it was my father who made the promise to you, since he promised, I will definitely fulfill it."
Song Yan didn't expect Yun Zheng to mention this matter on his own initiative...a hint of joy flashed through his heart.
She knew that it was only King Huai who went back on his word!
The prince...
He is definitely not the kind of person who would betray his friends.
However, after hearing the prince only mention the word "keeping his promise" and her courageous confession, there was no response at all...
Song Yan couldn't help feeling a little lost again.
But she could only comfort herself as before.
He just doesn't understand her yet... As long as she marries him and gives her time, she will definitely win her heart.
But now, she doesn't have much time left, she must ask him for a definite answer today.
Song Yan thought about it, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and looked at Yun Zheng.
"Originally, with what the prince said, I shouldn't have insisted on it any further, but now... my situation is really not good. The prince also knows that I'm not young anymore. Now my father, my aunt, and my brother are all forcing me to get married."
"As the prince sees it, Prince Wei is the husband they have chosen for me... My father now harbors grudges against the prince, and I'm afraid that if this is delayed any further, it will only lead to more trouble..."
"Since the Crown Prince has just said that he is willing to keep his promise from that year, then could you please... arrange our marriage first?"
Yun Zheng listened to Song Yan's words, but his brows frowned slightly.
Although marriage is just a bargaining chip for him now, as long as it is profitable, he doesn't care who he marries.
but she.
After all, she is Wan'er's sister.
Now that Wan'er has just passed away, he was shot to death by his own hands. If he marries Song Yan at this time, it will give people something to talk about.
and.
He still didn't know what the secret about the Huai Wang Mansion that she mentioned to him today was...
Is it worth exchanging his own marriage for it? How could he agree to her so easily?
Yun Zheng thought about it, and after considering it for a while, he looked at Song Yan and said.
"Third sister just said it herself, Prime Minister Song will not agree to this marriage."
"Marriages are always arranged by parents and matchmakers. If I rashly come to your house and mention our marriage, Prime Minister Song will definitely object. It might even lead to some jokes, which would damage Third Sister's reputation."
"How about we put this matter on hold for now? Once I've gained Prime Minister Song's forgiveness, we can proceed with our plans."
Song Yan's attitude was unusually firm.
Because she knew clearly that her father would never truly forgive the prince.
Even in everyone's eyes, the prince had no choice but to shoot his eldest sister with his own hands in order to prevent the tiger from returning to the mountain.
However, that knot will always be in my father's heart.
Moreover, she could clearly see the Regent's attitude towards the Crown Prince and Prince Huai's Mansion today.
Since my father has chosen to stand on the side of the Regent, the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion will only become more tense when he returns after completing the disaster relief work.
Plus the six-month agreement she made with her brother.
This.
This might be her only chance.
Song Yan bit her lip as she thought about it, thinking about what she had just heard when she was waiting for Prince Yun behind the rockery, the second lady of the Pei family's daring "plan", as if she had made up her mind, and looked at Yun Zheng steadily.
"Your Highness has misunderstood. It is precisely because you know that father will not agree, so... I mean that you must marry into Prince Huai's mansion before father returns!"
"Besides...parents' orders and matchmaker's words are only needed for a wife. I know I'm just a concubine's daughter and unworthy of the position of Crown Prince's Consort, so...I am willing to enter Prince Huai's mansion first...as a concubine."
She knew that even if the Crown Prince didn't mind, King Huai would not allow a concubine's daughter to be the Crown Prince's consort.
It's better to say it out loud and lower your status. This way, maybe you can even get the sympathy of the person in front of you.
She is not afraid of the difficult beginning.
As long as she wins the heart of the prince, the Huaiwang Mansion will be successful in the future, and the prince will become the crown prince and the next emperor.
She was the first one to marry into Prince Huai's mansion, so her status was naturally not low.
She can take her time.
Yun Zheng was also shocked at this moment.
Be a concubine?
Although she was a concubine's daughter, he had heard from Wan'er that when Song Yi was in power, many of the men who came to propose marriage were eldest sons and grandsons of noble status, including his cousin Wei Lin whom he saw today.
The only son of the Princess and the Duke of Zhenguo.
This status is indeed precious. Even if her cousin does not enter the court, this status can be said to be very high for her, a concubine's daughter.
But she said that she wanted to give up everything and marry him as a concubine?
why?
Yun Zheng then remembered that he seemed to have never asked her why she liked him?
She betrayed her family for him before she even reached the age of 15.
He used to think that she was a woman who would do anything to get ahead, but the situation before him told him otherwise.
No.
Yun Zheng thought about it and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Why would Third Sister do this for me?"
Song Yan couldn't help but feel eager when she heard the man in front of her express his curiosity about her for the first time.
Is this representative?
Was he also beginning to be moved by her feelings?
"Sir, do you know where I first met you?"
Yun Zheng thought about it.
"Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony?"
Song Yan shook his head.
"No, the first time I met the prince was at the palace banquet seven years ago."
"That day, my elder sister and I were summoned by the late queen, but she left my elder sister alone to talk, while the palace servants took me to the side hall."
"Then, I accidentally broke a vase in the late queen's palace..."
"I was still young at the time, and it was my first time entering the palace with my elder sister, so before I entered, my aunt repeatedly reminded me to be careful and not get into trouble."
“So I was terrified…”
As Song Yan spoke, she seemed to recall the scene of that day, and a beautiful smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"But at that time, the prince suddenly appeared."
"You comforted me carefully, and then, in front of all the palace ladies, you said that if the Queen asked, you should say that you broke the vase..."
"Does the prince still remember?"
