Chapter 557 The Scumbag Son 9
Some time later, Mu Linzheng said, "Empress, I have decided that the Pei family's daughter will be the Crown Princess. In this selection of concubines, please choose a few more well-mannered women for the Crown Prince."
Mu Linzheng finally remembered that his son's backyard was now empty.
Pei Zhengqing of the Pei family is the head of the academy, and the eldest son is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Although their official positions are not high, they are a prominent and noble family with generations of Hanlin scholars. Many of their collateral branches have become high-ranking officials and are spread throughout the court and the country.
"understood."
Yao Feiran called Yao Xufeng over: "His Majesty has chosen a woman from the Pei family as your Crown Princess. In addition, I will also select a few women from the imperial concubines to enter your Crown Prince's residence. What kind of women do you want?"
"As long as your personality is normal."
Yao Xufeng had witnessed Song Yuewan's madness before; she had already reached a very low level.
"OK."
Since Yao Xufeng was made to pretend to be the crown prince, Yao Feiran's disguise for him has become closer and closer to his original appearance. Because it is a gradual process, it is normal for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child to change. In addition, through the miraculous medical technology of this era, he has been taking medicine for many years to regulate his body and bones, and his appearance has also become somewhat like that of the emperor.
Once the disguise is no longer needed, the chances of being discovered are very small.
.......
The Pei family girl that Mu Linzheng mentioned was Pei Baoxian, the eldest daughter of the first branch of the family. Yao Feiran sent people to investigate carefully while also calling them over.
Pei Baoxian's etiquette was indeed impeccable, but Yao Feiran noticed a weariness in her eyes, a weariness tinged with the turbidity of time, and a soul heavier than others.
Rebirth or regaining memories?
Yao Feiran remained calm and asked some everyday questions, such as what she had studied and what her hobbies were. Pei Baoxian looked a little confused, but still answered obediently.
After a while, Yao Feiran bestowed some gifts upon Pei Baoxian, and the moment she stepped out of the palace gate, a strong hatred flashed in her eyes.
In her past life, she refused the Crown Prince in order to marry Xiao Chengyan, the heir of the Marquis of Changping, giving this good marriage to her younger sister. The Crown Prince trusted her younger sister, who held absolute power in his harem. Eventually, the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and her younger sister enjoyed continuous favor and honor throughout her life.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chengyan did not cherish her. She devoted herself to managing the inner quarters for him, supporting this huge Marquis's mansion, and filling it with her own dowry. In the end, Xiao Chengyan took his cousin as a secondary wife, his mistress as a concubine, and also had an eldest son born out of wedlock. Even his own son preferred his cousin.
In this lifetime, she will become the most noble woman in the world, coldly watching as the Marquis of Changping will never be able to turn his life around.
For some reason, the Empress never asked her if she was willing to marry the Crown Prince, but instead asked some unimportant questions.
Yao Feiran quickly found out about Pei Baoxian. It turned out that she had been having an affair with Xiao Chengyan, the heir of the Marquis of Changping, a year ago. However, she had recently broken off contact with him and even took back the gifts she had given him.
Moreover, Xiao Chengyan already had a mistress.
A noble family that was so poor it was practically dead, instead of focusing on building a career and improving their living conditions, had the leisure to keep mistresses.
They probably hoped the Pei family daughter would marry into the family so they could fill the void with her dowry. It turned out to be a real pit of fire. Luckily, I have memories of my past life.
No one in the capital wanted to associate with the Xiao family, but Pei Baoxian eagerly went to them, probably because she gave up the position of Crown Princess in the original story.
There are an unusually large number of people in this world who are obsessed with romance.
Yao Feiran guessed the cause and effect.
It's nothing more than that in her past life she was love-struck and fell for a scumbag, ending up with a tragic fate. In this life, she marries someone more noble and gets revenge on the scumbag.
Yao Feiran sighed softly, called Yao Xufeng over, and told him about the incident as if it were a storybook.
"If it were you, would you marry her?"
"Your subject is unwilling."
Yao Xufeng's lips twitched; he was unwilling to be a second-best option.
"understood."
Yao Feiran crossed out Pei Baoxian's name and went to Mu Linzheng to tell him about Pei Baoxian.
Mu Linzheng frowned deeply: "How did the Pei family raise their daughter? They actually exchanged gifts in secret and even kept it a secret."
"Of course we have to keep it a secret. It's normal to be a little confused when you're young. I guess you've come to your senses now. The eldest branch of the Pei family has three daughters. As long as they're family members, it should be fine, right?"
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Mu Linzheng suddenly remembered that the Crown Prince used to be the same way, but he had indeed changed a lot since then and was now beyond reproach. Thinking about it this way, he realized that it was better to give people a chance to admit their mistakes and correct them, and there was no need to be too demanding.
Of course, she couldn't be the Crown Princess.
"Alright, Your Majesty, please make the arrangements."
Yao Feiran glanced at him. To be honest, apart from favoring Song Jingning over some minor matters, Mu Linzheng hadn't done anything else that was brainless. At least for now, he hadn't thought about shaking her position. Moreover, as long as the Crown Prince knew his mistakes and could correct them, no one would want to depose him.
In this dynasty, the eldest son of the legitimate wife was chosen as the heir, and as long as the crown prince did not commit any major offenses, his position was relatively stable.
Her requirements for Mu Linzheng were also very low: he could pamper the female lead, or he could neglect her, but in the end, she had to be the winner.
Back home, Pei Baoxian felt uneasy, sensing that something had changed. Sure enough, a few days later, the Empress's decree came down, inviting the Second Miss over.
Madam Pei asked疑惑地, "What does Her Majesty the Empress mean by summoning the Second Miss again? Wasn't she saying that the Eldest Miss would become the Crown Princess?"
Pei's father stepped forward: "Stop talking, Bao Xian will not become the Crown Princess."
"Why? My Baoxian is the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, and she has been carefully raised and educated. Why can't she marry the Crown Prince?"
"Her Majesty the Empress already knows about Bao Xian's matter."
Pei Baoxian's face turned deathly pale.
Madam Pei sighed, "My Baoxian was also deceived by a villain. Wasn't the Crown Prince the same way back then? He favored his concubine over his wife. It's better that Baoxian didn't marry into that family. Maybe it's easier to change a country than to change its nature. I'll find you someone I know well."
Pei's father said irritably, "You dare to make up stories about His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Madam Pei rolled her eyes at him, then hugged Pei Baoxian and said, "Baoxian, it doesn't matter if you can't marry the Crown Prince. The Pei family has plenty of good women in their lineage, and I'll take my time to choose one for you."
"Mother, I'm afraid Xiao Chengyan will slander me."
"He wouldn't dare! The Pei family already took those tokens. Whatever he says, I'll skin him alive!"
She was filled with guilt. In her previous life, her mother said that Xiao Chengyan was not a good match, but she had been blinded by greed and insisted on marrying him.
But will Xiao Chengyan really give up? Knowing that she won't become the Crown Princess, perhaps he won't give up so easily.
Day two.
Yao Feiran met Pei Zhentao, the second daughter of the Pei family.
Upon arrival, Yao Feiran immediately recognized that the other party was a soul from another world.
Reversal of Fate Beads: "Oh ho, a time traveler."
"The fact that she's a time traveler isn't the problem; the biggest problem is that the world she lived in before she traveled to wasn't an ordinary world, and she's also killed people."
Yao Feiran could tell at a glance that the other party had a mental superpower and an invisible charm that easily attracted people with weak willpower.
It can make others passively become love-obsessed.
This world is truly full of hidden talents.
