The Foolish Prince's First-Rank Princess Consort

Did you hear? The eldest Miss Yuchi is getting married today, but she’s marrying the foolish Prince of Chu.

The royal family’s motto: Marry a daughter of the Yuchi family, and you might as well marry a treasure chest.

One day, the emperor issued an edict, arranging a marriage between Miss Yuchi Yunyan and the Prince of Chu.

He also bestowed on Yunyan the title of First-Rank Princess Consort, granting her the highest status and honor.

The Prince of Chu may have a fine title, but who in the capital doesn’t know he’s a fool?

Miss Yuchi wept and protested at home, refusing to marry him. She planned to switch grooms and marry Yun Shuihan instead.

But the eldest son of the Yun family was engaged to her younger sister, Yuchi Hanxiang. How could she marry him?

◇

The second daughter of the Yuchi family had accompanied her father in business since the age of ten. Blessed with extraordinary talent, she was a remarkable young woman.

It was said that the sisters had switched clothes since childhood, and once grown, they even switched husbands.

Hanxiang, the second daughter, readily agreed to trade grooms. With a red bridal veil over her head, she went to the Prince of Chu’s residence.

But on her wedding day, she discovered that the foolish prince was not only maddeningly infuriating, but also peerlessly handsome.

What’s more, he looked at her with a hungry gleam in his eyes and kept clamoring to get into bed with her.

Rumor had it that the Chancellor’s daughter was frail and sickly, never leaving her home, and was neither talented nor virtuous.

It was said that she was engaged to General Ximen, whose fame and grace had spread across the Kingdom of Wei, making every woman in the realm green with envy.

Then, just the other day, the famed general of Wei broke off his engagement to the Chancellor’s daughter.

The very next day, the general strolled hand in hand through the streets with the most beautiful woman in Wei City, flaunting their affection for all to see.

From then on, the Chancellor’s daughter became the punchline of idle gossip among princes and nobles, a laughingstock for everyone.

That day, an imperial edict arrived, bearing the emperor’s boundless favor, and she became the crown prince’s future consort.

When the wedding day came, the crown prince brought her to the palace in a grand bridal sedan. On that same day, he also brought eight other women into the palace.

From then on, the Eastern Palace was livelier than ever. Consorts drowned, and others died from tripping while walking.

Everyone said there was nothing but trouble at the Eastern Palace gates. One day her senior fellow disciple would show up, the next day her second senior fellow disciple would come make a scene.

The crown prince was so furious his veins throbbed and looked ready to burst, while the crown princess played around to her heart’s content, carefree and happy.
