Chapter 631: Marriage between a man and a woman
The smile on Concubine Xiang reached up to her ears: “Right, right, we will be a family from now on. So naturally, there is no need to say much.”
Bai Zhenzhu asked: “That Prince Jin, what kind of person is he?” She also wanted to ask, how old was this Prince Jin? Does he look good? But she was shy, so she held back her words.
Concubine Xiang replied: “I don’t know this. Prince Jin is a very mysterious person. Even Houye has never seen him.”
Bai Zhenzhu looked surprised: “Even Houye hasn’t seen him? Then, how did they decide this marriage?”
Concubine Xiang thought of Dongfang Mu, and the smile on her face was reduced by three points. She coldly said: “It was not set up by Houye. It was decided by the emperor and Dongfang Family. Houye didn’t know this before. He didn’t know this until he found you.”
Bai Zhenzhu frowned. So to say, her future husband, not only she didn’t see him, but also Pei Qinghan?
Concubine Xiang continued to say: “But I heard that this Prince Jin is very brave and known as the god of war. On the northwest battlefield, he has made great achievements.”
After saying those words, Concubine Xiang lowered her voice and leaned into Bai Zhuzhu’s ear, then said: “I heard that Prince Jin will return to the capital soon. At that time, Houye will find a way for you two to meet. You have to seize this opportunity and perform well in front of Prince Jin. You might not know this, but Prince Jin is the emperor’s favorite and most valued son. He may be the one to succeed the throne. If you can marry Prince Jin, you may become the empress in the future. The mother of the world!”
Bai Zhenzhu was dumbfounded. She always wanted her life to have a big turning point, but she never thought that this thing will come. And not only big but very big that she couldn’t believe it.
The empress in the future, the mother of the world?
This was something a person can’t even dream of!
Seeing her dumbfounded, Concubine Xiang didn’t say another word. She patted her shoulder, got up, and took Pei Xiachen away.

Just after leaving the Lan Courtyard, Pei Xiachen, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn’t hold it anymore. She took Concubine Xiang’s arm and whispered with a smile: “Look at her, do you think Prince Jin will fancy her?”
Concubine Xiang replied: “It doesn’t matter if you look down on her. What’s important is that this marriage was made by the emperor and Dongfang Mu. As long as Dongfang Mu and the emperor didn’t mention breaking off the engagement, this matter will succeed. Since ancient times, when did the marriage between a man and a woman, not decided by the parents? Not to mention a prince. He has no right to choose marriage himself.”
Pei Xiachen sighed: “It’s a pity, such a good seat, will be occupied by such a woman. It’s not worth it for his highness, Prince Jin.”
Concubine Xiang looked at her, but didn’t give her a good look: “Stupid girl, what are you talking about? She is better than others. You think about it, if she became the empress in the future, you, her only sister, won’t you be superior? At that time, which noble family in the capital, you can’t marry?”
Pei Xiachen’s eyes lit up: “Niang, is that true? Can I choose?”
Concubine Xiang smiled triumphantly: “Yes, you can choose.” Seeing that Pei Xiachen looking so happy like this, Concubine Xiang asked hurriedly: “What is that look in your face? If your smiling like this, does it mean you have someone in your heart?”
Pei Xiachen blushed and twisted her body, then said, “Niang, what are you talking about? It’s not good for people to hear.”
The people who followed Concubine Xiang were all her confidants. There was nothing wrong if they could hear it, so she took her daughter’s hand, and asked: “Tell me, who is it?”
