Chapter 200 Counterattack
If they had said this in the past, they might have thought An Qingqian was joking.
In the eyes of the world, Prince Cheng has always been humble and polite, tall, handsome and very loyal. Although he is a prince, there are very few women in his mansion. He is a good husband in the eyes of many women from aristocratic families in the capital, and is also the most suitable candidate for husband.
But during this period, they investigated and handled some things according to the young lady's instructions, and gradually realized that all this was just superficial.
Everything about King Cheng was fake. His appearance and status could not be faked, but everything else was fake.
Just yesterday, their people found out that King Cheng had a beautiful concubine, but this matter was kept extremely secret, and King Cheng was very careful every time he went there.
Even his rival, Prince Yong, didn't know about this.
This matter was discovered by Su Gui, who was originally an aide following Prince Yong. As a result, he accidentally discovered this matter of Prince Cheng on the road.
Just as An Qingqian had expected, King Cheng was furious when he returned to his mansion and smashed a lot of things.
"Immediately send someone to keep a close eye on the people in Prince Yong's Mansion. Prince Yong will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. Oh, and spread the news of what Liu Yiyi did in the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion with great fanfare. Have people spread the news in vivid detail, and make sure everyone's attention is focused on Liu Yiyi and Xue Wanxian."
After venting, King Cheng quickly calmed down.
What happened today was that he fell into the trap of Prince Yong and Xue Wanxian, but he was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied.
"Remember, you must be quick. You must publicize this matter before Prince Yong's people tell others about it. If anyone mentions my name, I will kill them immediately. I don't believe that Prince Yong can achieve his goal with such means."
"Yes, my lord, I will do it right away."
The two guards took the order and left.
After arranging this matter, King Cheng calmed down completely, "Someone, go call the butler over."
King Cheng sat on a chair, and the maid outside quickly came in and cleaned up the mess inside.
The butler walked into the room and saw that King Cheng's face looked a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just stood there quietly, waiting for King Cheng's instructions.
"Go and make arrangements. Ten days later, prepare a sedan chair and go to Lin'an Marquis's Mansion to pick up Xue Wanxian's cousin Zhang Qingsha."
"Your Highness, is she your concubine? Where should she be arranged?" Upon hearing what King Cheng said, the butler was stunned for a moment.
Didn't the prince want to fill up the harem? Why did he suddenly want to bring someone into the mansion after visiting the Lin'an Marquis's mansion today?
Is the other party the cousin of Marquis Lin'an?
The housekeeper was very confused, but he didn't show it on his face and just asked as usual.
"As for the position of a concubine, just pick a remote courtyard and place her there." King Cheng waved his hand.
For him, Zhang Qingsha's existence now reminds him of what happened today, which is his shame.
He wished he would never see Zhang Qingsha again. If he hadn't been worried about being irresponsible and the emperor finding out, he wouldn't have been willing to let Zhang Qingsha sit in the position of concubine.
An opportunity to win over important officials was wasted in vain.
"Concubine?" The butler looked at King Cheng with slight shock.
The housekeeper naturally knew that Marquis Lin'an was Prince Yong's man, so how did his cousin become the prince's concubine?
Did something happen in this?
"Well, do as I say. No need to ask any more questions."
King Cheng was so annoyed that he had no time to answer the butler's questions.
Seeing that King Cheng was in a bad mood, the butler nodded and left.
In the Lin'an Marquis Mansion, Zhang Qingsha was sitting on her bed with a happy look on her face.
Huang's face showed worry. She had already spent some money and asked someone to find out what had happened today.
Everything was fine before, how could such a thing happen between his daughter and King Cheng in the blink of an eye?
Huang knew that this was a plot, but she didn't understand who was behind it.
Is it Zhang or Liu Yiyi?
These two people, one hopes that Zhang Qingsha can marry a man of status, and the other hopes that Zhang Qingsha can get married quickly.
In Huang's opinion, she is more inclined towards Zhang.
The reason why Zhang was willing to take the trouble to hire someone to learn those things for Zhang Qingsha was to make Zhang Qingsha noticed by the powerful and wealthy, and then be able to help Xue Wanxian.
If it was her, then it would explain why Xue Wanxian spoke up for Zhang Qingsha and asked for a position of concubine for her in the small courtyard in the garden today.
However, even though she heard with her own ears that King Cheng agreed to marry Zhang Qingsha as his concubine, Huang still felt very uneasy.
Especially since her own daughter was never satisfied and even fantasized about becoming the queen, Huang thought this was hopelessly stupid.
"Mother, look at you. Your daughter is about to become the king's concubine. Why aren't you happy for her at all? Instead, you look so sad. Aren't you happy?"
Zhang Qingsha noticed her mother's expression and immediately remembered that she had slapped herself in the garden today.
"Mom is very happy, but I'm a little worried." Huang frowned and shook her head gently.
"What are you worried about? King Cheng and I are now husband and wife, and in front of so many people, he also promised to welcome me into King Cheng's palace in ten days."
Faced with Huang's worries, Zhang Qingsha didn't take it seriously at all.
Hearing Zhang Qingsha say this, Huang felt more at ease. Indeed, King Cheng had promised this matter in front of so many people today, and he would not go back on his word.
"Mother, I think you are thinking too much. Now that I will become the concubine of King Cheng, it is a foregone conclusion. There is nothing to worry about. Just wait and see. When your daughter arrives at King Cheng's mansion and wins King Cheng's favor, the position of principal wife will be your daughter sooner or later."
Zhang Qingsha looked at her mother proudly.
Huang saw that Zhang Qingsha was determined to win, and could not help but persuade her, "Qingsha, I don't mean to discourage you. With your status, the position of concubine is already very good. We don't have any family support. As long as you can keep the position of concubine, we will make a profit.
As for the position of the queen, forget it, let's not dream of that position."
"Mom, what are you saying? Isn't my daughter excellent? Why can't I take the position of the queen?" Zhang Qingsha looked at her mother with dissatisfaction.
"My daughter has finally found such a marriage. As my mother, you can just not bless me, but why do you want to discourage me? Don't you want to watch me rise step by step?"
