Chapter 258 The marriage is void (1)
Chen Yibin's lips trembled, and he lost his voice: "Shanshan was betrothed to me alone."

Empress Dowager Dong was so angry that she wanted to push Chen Yibin away, but she didn't know that the nails under his feet couldn't move at all, so she turned to block him angrily, and continued to cry to Chen Zishan: "Now Yibin has nothing to do with you, Aijia wants Yimo to marry you. You are the princess. In the future, although you are the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, the Ai family will treat you as their own daughter. Yimo left the Ai family when she was two years old, and now she is in charge of the outer city. You left sister Hengmei when you were two years old, and now you have established Doctor of Medicine. You and Yimo have a similar fate. You have suffered a lot. Aijia thinks that you can care for and love each other. After getting married, you want to follow Yimo to his fief or stay in Ridu or return to Merlin You can practice medicine in the town, Aijia and Yimo are all up to you."

Chen Yimo was extremely grateful to Queen Mother Dong, and looked at Chen Zishan affectionately and full of expectation, not letting go of any expression on her face.

Chen Zishan made a gesture to stop the impulsive Ah Sa and Long Lintao, but she didn't believe it. Up to now, those who have been observing her secretly have not acted.

Sure enough, when Dong Taihuang cried louder and was about to speak again, a woman laughed disdainfully from the corner of the hall, "I have lived for nearly 50 years, and I have never heard such beautiful and sincere words. Hahaha , It’s really touching! But the three generations of the palace have also known a little bit about the inside story of the emperor. It seems that this is not the case.”

Everyone looked back, only to see a middle-aged beautiful lady in a red dress embroidered with the auspicious pattern of peonies walking over with a smile.

The imperial concubine did not look sideways, she stopped a few feet away, looked at Chen Zishan, nodded and said: "Little girl, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. My name is Liu Hong, and I have served the old emperor for several years. I have seen Princess Hengmei many times, she is very beautiful, but it is not as good as yours."

All the ministers said one after another: "The minister kowtows to the emperor and concubine."

Liu Hong has been keeping a low profile for 30 years since she moved out of the Sun Palace. She recently returned to the Sun Palace. She did not live in the Sun Palace, but lived in a villa in the suburbs, so many people don't know her.

Now that she came out by declaring her name, everyone quietly looked up, wanting to see what this mysterious woman who once fascinated the old emperor and almost abolished the former emperor Chen Hengli looked like.When everyone saw her, they didn't expect Liu Hong to be so young. If they hadn't just met the fairy-like Chen Zishan, who raised the standards for judging beauties many times, they would think Liu Hong is very beautiful and enchanting.

Mrs. Dong's face changed slightly behind her, tears were still flowing, but the sad expression on her face was swept away.Liu Hong was the concubine of the old emperor. His son Chen Hengyuan was brothers to the late emperor Chen Hengli of Empress Dowager Dong. According to seniority, Liu Hong was one generation higher than Empress Dowager Dong, but according to harem rank, Empress Dowager Dong was one level higher than Liu Hong.The two are their own sons, Empress Dowager Dong wants to protect Chen Yibin's throne, and Liu Hong wants to help Chen Hengyuan seize the throne, so they are sworn enemies.

Before coming to the hall, Li Senyan announced the names of all the guests. It was precisely because Liu Hong's presence could restrain the Queen Mother Dong that Chen Zishan came here without any scruples.

Chen Zishan smiled like a flower and said: "I have admired the name of the Empress and Concubine for a long time, and today I saw that the name is well-deserved. Your appearance remains youthful and beautiful. Standing together with the Ten Emperors, you are like brothers and sisters."

Seeing that she really appreciated her, Liu Hong was very happy, and habitually gave her a wink.Chen Zishan thought to herself: This woman is only in her fifties, with a face in her thirties, she was unknowingly charming when she was young, and her speech is so smooth, no wonder the old emperor who is obsessed with sex dotes on her so much, The day order was given to her, allowing her to leave the sun palace and follow Chen Hengyuan to live in seclusion in the outer city mansion!
Liu Hong glanced at Empress Dowager Dong with teary eyes and gray hair, she smiled even more, and said, "Princess Hengmei is very well-behaved and gentle. Once there was a garden tour in the palace in spring. My palace and several palace people saw someone with their own eyes. Use her as a maidservant, and ask her to serve tea, shine shoes, and pick up food. This palace feels very strange, why the dignified princess is treated so unfairly? The palace people said that Princess Hengmei was favored by that person's cousin, To marry her as a wife, but the princess refused to agree, and declined because she was too young, so that man tried his best to torture her!"

Empress Dowager Dong's tears suddenly dried up, and her eyes flickered.The white-haired old woman next to her raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "The empress dowager regards the princess as her own daughter, who dares to bully her in the palace?"

Chen Hengyuan said angrily: "Bold! How can you allow your servant to speak when the empress dowager speaks?"

Liu Hong smiled strangely: "Little girl, if the old emperor hadn't felt pity for him at that time, Princess Hengmei would have married that man's cousin, and you would have become half-siblings with a favorite concubine of His Majesty today. My sister. You are so smart, you should have guessed who that beloved concubine is."

Chen Yichao suddenly realized: "Grandma Huang, the concubine you are talking about is Dong Qiong, right? Hahaha, Dong Qiong's appearance is quite unique. Grandson is afraid that seeing her face will have nightmares at night and make him unable to sleep."

Liu Hong turned her head and gave Chen Yichao a white look, and said angrily, "Don't be so unruly, you just stay on the sidelines."

Empress Dowager Dong's chest rose and fell, she gritted her teeth and stared at Liu Hong.If the three grandparents and grandchildren didn't show up today to disrupt the situation, Chen Zishan might agree to marry Chen Yimo.

Chen Zishan thought inwardly: Could it be that Dong Qiong has been targeting me because her father married her mother after her father's proposal to marry Chen Zishan's own mother was rejected?What does the grievances of the previous generation have to do with her?She is also really stupid.

Seeing that Chen Zishan hadn't moved, Liu Hong said again: "After the old emperor passed away, although I left the Sun Palace, I still knew something about the affairs in the palace. Hearing that the man was angry at Princess Hengmei's refusal to give in and marry her cousin, he encouraged him The late emperor wanted to marry Princess Hengmei to Lu Jianghua from the Yin-Yang Sect of the Fengguo State Master as a gesture of affection..."

Lu Jianghua is vicious and vicious. He was demonized by people in Japan. He is the most terrifying man in the world.On the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the daughters of many aristocratic families witnessed the ghosts and evils conjured up by Yin-Yang followers. After returning home, they exaggerated to their family members, amplifying the danger dozens of times.These official women kneeling on the ground were terrified when they heard his name, and couldn't help trembling, "Oh my God! Do you want the princess to marry that zombie ghost?" "It's terrible. We are enemies with Fengguo. The princess is If you marry, you will definitely be tortured to death." "It is said that royal women are precious, but their lives are hard." "Fortunately, I was not born in the royal family, otherwise I would be sent to die in an enemy country by my relatives."
