Chapter 442 Concubine
The Emperor Shenwu looked gravely at the Third Prince, then turned to Shu Ying, who lowered his head slightly. The atmosphere in the tent of the Imperial Camp gradually grew stagnant. Shu Ying felt the chilling pressure and could not help but lower his head even lower. After a moment, the Emperor Shenwu slowly spoke, "In this case, I will immediately issue an order to grant the noble lady of the grassland, Gu Beiying, to the Third Prince as his concubine!"
Emperor Shenwu issued his decree and left with a flick of his sleeves. All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and saluted: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
In less than a moment, the rest of the people left the tent in twos and threes.
The third prince walked out of the tent in the imperial camp with a gloomy face. He was inexplicably discovered by a group of people hugging the grassland woman, and his father gave him the title of concubine without any ceremony. He was in a very bad mood.
Meanwhile, Gu Beiying was furious. "It's fine if I can't become your majesty's consort, but marrying a legitimate prince would be nice too. Who knew that man wasn't the Sixth Prince? What could a mediocre prince accomplish? I, Gu Beiying, would only be a concubine if I married him! Who on earth could have sent such false information and ruined me?"
Recalling the moment when the man she hugged from behind in the blooming sea of flowers turned around and was not the legitimate prince she had identified, Gu Beiying's face turned pale and blue. However, since so many people saw them hugging each other, she had no way out.
The Sixth Prince slowly walked out of the tent in the imperial camp, his lips curled slightly as he said calmly, "Go and deliver the rare fish I caught from the deep ravines within Qiling Mountain to the Queen Mother and the Seventh Princess."
A servant hurriedly took the order and left. A man in black followed closely beside the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince, with a rare interest, asked, "Xuan Yi, is there any difference between following me these days and wandering around the martial arts world on your own?"
The man in black was silent and only responded when the Sixth Prince spoke to him. "There's nothing different, it's just that Qiling Mountain is magical!"
The Sixth Prince said, "Then let's go back to Qiling Mountain!"
After saying this, the Sixth Prince laughed heartily: "Who knows, I might even run into my newly-married brother. That would be fun!"
The Sixth Prince really met the bored Third Prince in Qiling Mountain. The Third Prince was annoyed by the crying of Concubine Qiao, whose injury had not yet healed completely. The Third Prince was about to have a rival in the form of a concubine. The first concubine would soon be the prince's concubine, and her status would surpass his own. How could Concubine Qiao willingly submit to him?
So Qiao Shiqi cried and made a fuss, which made the Third Prince extremely troubled. So he took any free time he could and hid in the Qiling Mountain.
But unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape completely. As soon as the Sixth Prince appeared, everyone beside the Third Prince stood nervously beside him. The Third Prince thought of the injured Seventh Princess, and his face became unnatural.
The Sixth Prince had wasted his connections and resources, and he wasn't here to be polite with the Third Prince. He simply said with a fake smile, "Third Brother, you and I are truly destined to meet! Ever since we sparred in martial arts in the palace, I've been looking forward to sparring again! Today is the chance!"
The Third Prince's face immediately turned purple. His scalp tingled as he looked into the Sixth Prince's cold, clear eyes. He immediately refused, "That's not necessary! I say... no need..."
The Sixth Prince's guards had already intercepted the Third Prince's guards. The Sixth Prince leaped down from his horse and said, "Third brother, you're welcome! I'm sure Father will be pleased to see us have a sparring match!"
The Third Prince was naturally beaten black and blue by the Sixth Prince again. He was very depressed. He understood that the Sixth Prince was venting his anger for the Seventh Princess, so he did not dare to make a big deal out of it. So after returning to his own tent, he went to the tent of Concubine Qiao.
Of course, Qiao Shiqi would not miss this opportunity and started crying again! Thinking of this, the third son suddenly felt extremely depressed!
