Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 246 Delaying time

Xu Jingshu closed her eyes. Although the husband she chose was handsome and elegant, wasn't he the one with the best potential?

Is she a face-only person?

Doesn’t Mu Lianxue even take a look at how many men of marriageable age there are now?

Most young ladies are engaged since childhood, but Mu Tangxi has not yet been engaged because people want her to marry the prince.

Now that it was Mu Lianxue's turn, she had even fewer choices.

The three princes all have wives, and the fourth prince is still young.

Among them, only the second prince and the third prince had vacant positions for concubines.

Then Xu Jingshu can only choose one.

The Crown Prince looked seriously injured, so the one most likely to take the throne had to be chosen from among the remaining princes.

It is very likely to be the second prince.

So it was natural for Xu Jingshu to persuade Mu Lianxue to marry the second prince as a concubine.

Anyway, Mu Lianxue, who is nominally a concubine, can only be a concubine at most.

Xu Jingshu would never announce to the public that Mu Lianxue was her biological daughter!

This is not only a matter of face, but also a matter of interest.

There was absolutely no benefit for her in publicizing that Mu Lianxue was her biological daughter.

On the contrary, it will affect her reputation.

So Xu Jingshu never thought about announcing it to the public from beginning to end.

Mu Lianxue was silent for a long time, then whispered: "Mother, let me think about it again."

"What are you thinking about? This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"There are very few opportunities to interact with the Second Prince!"

No matter what the Second Prince does, Xu Jingshu wants the Prime Minister's Mansion to take advantage of this favorable situation to support the Emperor to ascend the throne!

Although she didn't like the master's favoritism towards Aunt Lin, she had already married the master, so she was tied to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The second prince is also waiting for an opportunity. He needs the support of the Prime Minister's Office, especially now that the crown prince is injured!

Despite many things that happened today, the second prince still stuck to his previous ideas.

So what if the Prime Minister’s Mansion was burned down?

So what if the prime minister had his feet chopped off?

After all, it can't affect those who worship the prime minister and have business dealings with him!

So, the third prince listened to his second brother's pieced-together words with a wooden face.

Then the third prince could only respond with a perfunctory “hmm hmm”.

Mu Tangxi looked at the Second Prince and Xu Jingshu and Mu Lianxue with interest.

With only three months left to deal with them, how should we deal with them?

Or should we let Mu Lianxue marry the Second Prince as a concubine and then deal with her?

Which one makes Mu Lianxue more painful?

Oh, yes, Mu Lianxue told her in her previous life that they would be together for the rest of their lives.

She wants this?

So if I marry the second prince, wouldn't this wish be shattered?

But it would be more difficult to kill Mu Lianxue if she came to the Second Prince’s residence.

It’s really hard to decide.

Mu Tangxi looked at Mu Lianxue tenderly and thought.

Regardless of whether Mu Lianxue was willing or not, Xu Jingshu decisively pulled Mu Lianxue's arm and brought her closer to the Second Prince, saying something like Mu Lianxue missed Tangxi.

Matters of marriage are decided by parents, so how could it be Mu Lianxue's turn to decide?

Xu Jingshu thought grimly.

Mu Lianxue also couldn't embarrass her mother in public.

In the mansion, she was very brave, after all, she had a general idea of ​​their relationship.

But in the unfamiliar palace, Mu Lianxue's courage shrank.

Mu Lianxue was so quiet that it was unlike herself. She glanced at the Second Prince and then looked away.

The second prince also noticed this and smiled at her.

The second prince is still a prince after all, and he has a sense of nobility that comes from being raised in wealth and luxury.

In order to win over other officials, the smile on his face was carefully crafted.

Mu Lianxue paused. The Second Prince seemed quite pleasing to the eye?

The third prince was caught in the middle for a moment, and he sighed in his heart.

Were the two of them staring at each other across him?

Ji Qichen turned his head and glanced at Tang Xi who was watching the fun next to him with a slightly aggrieved look.

Mu Tangxi curved her eyes and comforted Ji Qichen a little.

Xu Jingshu was still minding the introduction of Mu Lianxue, and said with a smile: "Hello, Second Prince, Third Prince, this is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Lianxue."

Then she turned around with a smile, "Lianxue, why don't you come and meet the second and third princes?"

There was a slight toughness in his tone.

Mu Lianxue pulled the corner of her mouth unnaturally and revealed a faint smile.

"Your servant Mu Lianxue greets the Second and Third Princes."

It can be said that the Second Prince, who had never seen Mu Lianxue's crazy look, was frightened by Mu Lianxue's "shy and timid" look.

Because Mu Lianxue looked up at the Second Prince and then lowered her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became a little nervous.

So it gave the second prince an illusion.

The smile in the second prince's eyes became more and more obvious, "So she is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The third prince just felt a little sleepy. He was too excited and didn’t sleep well last night. He thought he could go to bed early tonight, but he didn’t expect there were so many things to do.

He gave another perfunctory "hmm".

Anyway, Mu Lianxue's attention was not on him.

But the next second he was slapped in the face.

Mu Lianxue fixed her eyes on him, "Third Prince, what's wrong with you? You don't look well?"

The third prince faced the gazes of several people in the room at the same time, his face bewildered. Did he think he was just here to watch the fun?

Why did Tangxi become interested in the excitement and he became the center of the excitement?

Ji Qichen looked into Tangxi's smiling eyes and sighed again.

I feel like I sighed a lot today.

Ji Qichen politely replied to Mu Lianxue: "Maybe I'm tired. After all, I just got married to Tangxi yesterday, and I encountered these things today."

"Oh, by the way, I think Tangxi is a little tired, I'll help her sit for a while."

After Ji Qichen finished speaking, he quickly walked out from between the two people, walked towards Tang Xi at a brisk pace, and then helped Tang Xi sit down on the chair.

After introducing Mu Lianxue, Xu Jingshu retired.

Mu Wenyu looked at Xu Jingshu and Mu Lianxue's actions indifferently without raising any objection.

Supporting the third prince was his decision alone, but no one said that he could not support the second prince at the same time.

He secretly supported the third prince, while Xu Jingshu openly supported the second prince.

Who can find out?

He has both options!

Mu Tangxi looked at Ji Qichen with regret as he came over like this. She wanted to see more of the fun.

The liveliness of two people is still not as good as the liveliness of three people!

Just now, Mu Lianxue spoke to the Third Prince first, and the Second Prince's expression looked unnatural for a moment.

It would be better for the Second Prince to stay in the palace for a while longer. That way, no matter how chaotic things are outside, he would not hear about it.

Mu Tangxi smiled, peeled a grape on the table and ate it, then her smile froze.

She looked down at the plate of grapes on the table. How could they be so sour?

The atmosphere between the Second Prince and Mu Lianxue was a little awkward, but it only lasted for a moment.
