Chapter 473 She Has Lost Her Virginity
Princess Ning didn't even look at him. She picked up the last tea bowl, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "I think that Tang'er's proposal is barely acceptable. How can being the concubine of the prince of the palace be an insult to Liu Nanshi? It's not an insult at all. It's just right for her."
"Mother! Nan Shi is the legitimate daughter of Elder Liu, and the most talented woman in Dafeng. She is so noble, how can she only be a concubine? Why?!"
Princess Ning looked cold: "Because she has lost her virginity to you! After this happened, no good family in the capital will marry her! Even Elder Liu will be extremely disappointed in this daughter. She will even be abandoned because she has become worthless!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Princess Ning in disbelief. "How could mother say such cruel and cold words? Just because Nan Shi lost her virginity, is she no longer noble? She has become worthless? In my memory, you are the kindest and most gentle mother in the world. You shouldn't be such a cold and dark person!"
Princess Ning slammed the table fiercely, her voice was sharp: "What's the use of me being kind and gentle? Will my son listen to me, or will my daughter listen to me? I have worked hard for you, and I hope that you can live a stable and smooth life in the future!"
"But what about you? You make me angry all day long because of women! If I hadn't forced you to marry Tang'er, I don't know if I would be able to sit here alive now!"
Xiao Qingyuan was not convinced. He said loudly, "If mother had always agreed with me, wouldn't those things have happened? Just like now I want to marry Nan Shi, if you could agree to it, how could I possibly argue with you?"
"I don't understand what you are against at all! Nan Shi is of noble birth and well-known throughout the world. Isn't she much better than Shen Wantang? If my Crown Prince's Consort is replaced by Nan Shi, our Ning Wang Mansion will be even more prosperous!"
Prince Ning's face changed and he shouted angrily, "What nonsense! What do you mean by going to the next level? I am already a prince, how high can I go? You bastard, if you keep talking nonsense, I will be killed by you sooner or later!"
The emperor was extremely suspicious, and whenever he felt that someone was coveting the imperial power, he would send his confidants to accuse that person of a bunch of crimes and then behead him!
Prince Ning grew up with him and knew the emperor's character too well, so he had always been well-behaved and never got involved in any real power. He just honestly did his job as an idle prince, otherwise he would have lost his head long ago!
The third and fourth brothers were killed because they competed with the emperor for the throne!
No one dares to mention this matter now, but King Ning has always kept it in mind and reminds himself at all times to avoid following in their footsteps.
Of course, Princess Ning knew what her husband was afraid of. She was afraid too. Even though the emperor seemed to be very protective of the Ning Palace now, he treated her children with gentleness when they made mistakes and gave his nephews and nieces enough face.
But once Prince Ning shows signs of touching power, the emperor will definitely kill him with thundering means!
She sneered, "Why do we need a daughter-in-law who is so noble? I am already a princess, and your father is already a prince. Aren't we noble enough? We already have noble ones. We don't need another noble daughter-in-law. What we need is a daughter-in-law who knows how to be filial to us and is of the same mind as us!"
Xiao Qingyuan immediately said, "Mother, I can guarantee that Nan Shi will definitely be filial to you and father. No, she will be more filial to you than Shen Wantang!"
Princess Ning laughed sarcastically, "Your guarantee is worthless. You said before that Chu Yanluo would be filial to me and your father after she married in. You also said how virtuous and considerate she was. In the end, it was all the opposite!"
"No, they are different! Nan Shi is different from Chu Yanluo. Nan Shi is a real lady from a noble family, and she is very well educated! If she marries in, she will definitely do better than Shen Wantang!"
"I don't think she can do better than Tang'er. Looking at the entire capital, no daughter-in-law is as good as Tang'er."
Princess Ning said, pulling Shen Wantang's hand. "This child is sensible and filial. She is also a good housekeeper and has superb medical skills. My headache and the prince's cough were both cured by her. Based on this alone, no one else is qualified to compete with her for the position of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Ning Palace."
Xiao Qingyuan clenched his hands: "Mother, you are praising Shen Wantang too much. If she is really as good as you say, why is it Nan Shi who is famous all over the world instead of her?"
"Stupid! Being famous isn't necessarily a good thing. Some people are born to be in the limelight, while others are naturally reserved and low-key. I prefer reserved people to those who love to be in the limelight! It's enough to give me a headache that you and your sister are in the limelight every day. If there's someone who loves to be in the limelight even more than you two, how can we live like this?!"
The more Princess Ning spoke, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more she felt that Shen Wantang's idea of making Liu Nanshi a concubine was simply brilliant!
Isn't she a pushover? Then let her be a concubine! See if she can still be pushover!
With Shen Wantang, the Crown Prince's Consort, suppressing Liu Nanshi, she was probably going to vomit to death!
This would also allow her to take the opportunity to avenge Madam Liu for looking down on Prince Ning's Mansion!
Princess Ning immediately made the decision: "I have already conceded on this matter. I agree to let Liu Nanshi marry you as a concubine. If you agree, I will send someone to the Liu family to propose marriage. If you still refuse to concede and insist on making her your principal wife, then you will go out and start your own family. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Ning Palace! Your father and I will each pick a child from the side branch and let Tang'er raise him to inherit the palace in the future!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face was pale and his eyes were red. He looked at Shen Wantang with endless hatred in his tone: "It's all your fault! It was you who schemed and made my mother want Nan Shi to be a concubine! Making Nan Shi a concubine is the best way to humiliate her. You are forcing her to death! You are too cruel!"
The corners of Shen Wantang's lips twitched, revealing a not-so-obvious sneer: "Isn't it you who caused Liu Nanshi to fall into this situation now, Prince?"
"Why do you blame me for suggesting that she be a concubine, and then blame mother for not following your wishes? Have you ever thought that my mother and I were forced to swallow the bitter fruit you caused?"
Prince Ning and Princess Ning nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with Shen Wantang's words.
Who should be blamed for this? Xiao Qingyuan himself!
Xiao Qingyuan also saw that the three of them were of one mind. In an instant, he felt that he was trapped in an isolated and helpless situation. He felt that his father and mother were so strange, and that Shen Wantang was so hateful!
He took a step back, smiled bitterly, and remembered Xiao Qingxi's words - kill her!
He gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me to do this. You forced me to do this! If you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust! Don't regret it!"
