Chapter 279 Is it possible to share a wife?
Ji Yunxie's face turned pale, his thin lips pursed, he pulled his hand out of Ji Ruxue's and spoke softly.
"Cousin, you are joking. The late emperor's imperial decree granting marriage is well known to everyone. I am the legitimate Prince of Beichen."
So, by the same token, I am also qualified to ask the prince to take a concubine or not.
Ji Ruxue didn't expect Ji Yunxie to say that and was stunned.
He thought what he said was good for Ji Yunxie and he would agree.
After all, it seems like there's no loss in this matter.
The relationship between my cousin and Prince Zhan's Mansion is like fire and fire. The imperial aunt doesn't like my cousin at all. His biological father is dead, and there is no one in the entire Prince Zhan's Mansion to support him.
Although there is the imperial decree of the late emperor granting marriage, with his current status, he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the king in the future.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the prince has not yet taken a concubine and win over a powerful backer to consolidate his position.
And he and he have some blood relationship. If he becomes a king, he will help him, right?
"But you have no one behind you. What will you do if the prince takes a new concubine and no longer favors you?"
"You are alone, with no one behind you, how can you compete for favor?"
Ji Ruxue thought that by persuading Ji Yunxie in this way, he would change his mind.
But he suddenly asked, "Who said I don't have anyone backing me up?"
Ji Ruxue was stunned: "Who?"
Ji Yunxie raised his head slightly, blinked his dark eyes, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be flashing with sparkling stars.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "My Lord."
Ji Ruxue was stunned: "Wha...what?"
Ji Yunxie drooped his eyelids slightly, thinking of A Yue's promise, and smiled happily.
"The prince said that she doesn't care about my past or whether I have a background or not. She said that she is my backer. If I get into trouble, she will back me up and no one can bully me."
Ji Ruxue looked at Ji Yunxie's face full of happiness and felt it was dazzling.
I feel in my heart that I shouldn’t be like this.
It shouldn't be this bad.
You shouldn't say things like that.
But he just couldn't stop the jealousy in his heart. Yes, he was jealous.
He was jealous that Ji Yunxie, a poor, sickly and disabled man, could win the favor of King Beichen.
He was jealous that Di Ran would rather have an ugly and disabled person than him, a prince with both talent and appearance and noble status.
He was unwilling to accept that he was not as good as a disabled person.
He didn't want to marry and he didn't want to bury his life in shame!
Ji Ruxue's face turned pale, she bit her teeth lightly, tightened her grip on the handkerchief, and her starry eyes still stared at Ji Yunxie without giving up, and said.
"But women are always fickle. You are young now, and the prince dotes on you. If you grow old and lose your beauty, can you guarantee that the prince will still love you as much as he does now?"
Ji Yunxie paused slightly, his eyes were calm, his crow-feather-like eyelashes were slightly closed, and his voice was soft and distant.
"Don't worry about this cousin. After all, who can predict the future?"
"Xie'er only cares about the present. As long as the prince still loves me, even if a new person enters the mansion in the future..."
She paused between words, her eyelashes as delicate as butterfly wings trembled slightly: "It doesn't matter."
"you……"
Ji Ruxue was very angry at Ji Yun.
Although Ji Yunxie was magnanimous, he was unwilling to follow his wishes.
Although he is jealous, he doesn't seem to care if Prince Beichen takes a concubine in the future.
In this case, his plan naturally failed halfway.
But when she thought about marrying a Tibetan Rong man and living that kind of life, Ji Ruxue's face suddenly turned pale.
He clenched his pale hands and stood up from the chair.
Immediately, he knelt down in front of Ji Yunxie with a plop: "Cousin, since I have helped you before, please help me."
Ji Yunxie was startled by Ji Ruxue's action: "You...what are you doing?"
