Chapter 783 Nali's Plans!
"Useless thing! Didn't you go and see His Highness the Crown Prince? You think you're so beautiful, but you're simply not good enough for him!"
Although Jimmer was a womanizer, he did indeed like this younger sister, but weighing the pros and cons, his own important matter was naturally more important at the moment.
Nali was also stunned by the news.
She never expected that Consort Luo, who had been trying to get close to her and then urging her to marry into the Eastern Palace, was actually helping Prince Ming to investigate her.
Nali really wronged Consort Luo.
Consort Luo's original intention was to have Nali seduce the Crown Prince, thus causing trouble for the Crown Princess.
An ordinary woman would naturally not dare to be disrespectful to the Crown Princess, but this Nali is a princess. If she can successfully win the Crown Prince's heart, then Mu Xin Nuan would absolutely not dare to express any disagreement.
Unfortunately, despite all her calculations, she overlooked the Crown Prince's temperament and the Emperor's composure.
After Nali finished bathing and cleansing herself, she calmed down completely.
"Fourth Brother, don't be anxious. If the Emperor of Dayong has already made a decision, then it's useless for us to say anything. Marrying Prince Ming is fine. Although his power is not as great as the Crown Prince's, I have learned from my interactions with Consort Luo that Prince Ming also has 200,000 troops under his command. In addition, the Crown Prince is an extremely sentimental person, which can be seen from his treatment of Duanmu Chen."
Jimmer's expression remained somewhat gloomy. "So what?"
"Fourth Brother, if I marry into the Ming Prince's mansion, please persuade the Ming Prince to get closer to the Crown Prince."
At this point, Nali paused, a hint of smugness in her eyes. "The Emperor of Dayong is getting old now, and I'm afraid he won't be able to sit on this throne for another year or two. When that time comes, the Crown Prince will ascend the throne, and right now, his only trustworthy and reliable brother is Prince Ming. Do you think he will give Prince Ming an important position then?"
Jimmer's eyes lit up. That was indeed the case!
As long as the Ming King is given important responsibilities, his power will naturally grow. In addition, with the status of a prince, it would be good if I could get his support.
"Fourth Brother, think about it. Our father is strong and healthy now. I heard that when we left the royal court, one of his concubines was pregnant again. Judging from his health, it will probably be another ten or eight years before he can truly abdicate."
Jim's expression finally softened somewhat. "That's right, Father Khan's health is excellent. As things stand, he will definitely be fine for the next three to five years."
"So what if your other brothers have considerable power? The tribes under their control are still firmly in Father Khan's hands. This time, as long as you can retrieve our token, it will be a great achievement for Father Khan. Are you still worried that Father Khan won't look at you with new respect?"
Upon hearing this, Jim burst into laughter and immediately put his arm around the beauty's waist. "That's right, that makes sense! That's exactly what I mean."
Nali smiled shyly, lowered her head slightly, concealing the bitterness and disgust in her eyes.
Anyway, she already knew about the affair and was no longer a virgin, so it didn't matter who she married.
She had met the King of Ming before; although he was a bit older, he was still quite handsome. It was better than marrying one of the warriors or elderly tribal chiefs under her father's command.
As a woman, she originally had little control over her own future.
Now that God has given her this opportunity, she is determined to live well in Dayong.
It doesn't matter who I marry.
As long as that man pampers her enough, that's enough.
So be it, she'll accept being a concubine!
She knew that, based solely on her status, she could never become a formal daughter-in-law of the Dayong royal family. After all, she was a member of a different ethnic group.
However, even though she was from a different race, she was determined to live her own life and not let anyone look down on her.
"Marrying Prince Ming as a concubine is naturally not a problem. But I heard that Prince Ming already has two concubines. Fourth Brother, since I cannot be the principal wife, I can't be subordinate to those two, can I?"
"Don't worry, I will naturally find a way to persuade the Emperor of Dayong."
The following day at court, after hearing the emperor's meaning, Prince Jimo did not object. He simply stepped forward and performed a Turkic salute before saying slowly, "Your Majesty, it is my sister's good fortune that our princess has married Prince Ming as a concubine."
After saying this, he glanced at the Prince Ming and continued, "However, she is, after all, a princess of our Turkic people. I have heard that His Highness the Prince Ming already has two concubines in his household. According to the rules of your Dayong, if they are both concubines, then my sister is still subordinate to the other two concubines. I'm afraid that this is somewhat inappropriate."
The Emperor thought about it and agreed; after all, she was a princess.
"Hmm, this is easy to handle. I will issue an edict to make Princess Nali the first concubine of the Ming Prince's Mansion. In addition, her rank will be one level higher than that of the other concubines. What do you think?"
"I have no objection to Your Majesty's arrangement. It is our blessing that you have been able to save face for the Turks."
The Emperor was overjoyed. “Good! Guards, issue the decree! Your Highness, please rest assured. In order to ensure that the princess is not mistreated in Dayong, I have ordered the Ministry of Works to rebuild a residence and bestow it upon Princess Nali. Consider it a princess’s residence in Dayong.”
Jimo was overjoyed. He had never expected that the Emperor of Dayong would be so thoughtful, and he was even more surprised that the Emperor would be willing to build a princess's residence for a princess from another country. He immediately bowed again.
Consort Luo, who was leisurely drinking tea in her own courtyard, was furious when she heard the news!
"What did you say? The Emperor actually issued an edict betrothing Princess Nali to the Prince?"
"Yes, Consort. This servant would not dare to lie. I heard that the Ministry of Works began renovating the residence a few days ago. It is an old house with five courtyards, which was specially built for Princess Nali as her princess residence."
Consort Luo was completely dumbfounded!
Princess Nali actually has her own princess residence?
The maid glanced at her mistress cautiously and whispered, "That's not all. I heard that the Emperor has also issued an edict to make her the first concubine of the Prince Ming's mansion, and in terms of rank, she is one level higher than you, mistress."
"what?"
Consort Luo was so angry that she immediately jumped up from her seat, "The First Consort?"
Consort Luo was so angry that she kept grinding her teeth!
She originally thought that even after marrying into the family, she would still have to call her "elder sister," but now, the Emperor has actually given her the title of First Concubine. What's going on here?
