Family Has a Concubine

Following the voice of the little eunuch outside, a man and a woman came in.

The man was in his forties, with deep eyes and a high nose. He was dressed in a black animal skin slanted beard and a thick gray cloth hat on his head. Tall, with a wrinkled rough face, he gritted his teeth fiercely, but there was no expression of resignation.

Beside the man was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

The girl has a beautiful appearance, wearing a multicolored collared top and pleated skirt, with bright flower and bird patterns embroidered on the cuffs and the edge of the placket, wearing a brilliant silver crown, and wearing two big braids. The girl's face was cold and angry.

The two walked in, looked at the lofty Emperor Zhengxuan, and bowed to salute: "See Emperor Daqi."

The courtiers looked at these two with cold expressions. After all, this was their old enemy of Daqi for hundreds of years. Over the years, they have caused countless losses to Daqi and killed many people in Daqi. Naturally, he cannot but hate.

"Since you want to bow your heads and profess your ministers, why don't you kneel down when you see our Daqi emperor!" The prince sneered coldly, full of majesty.

The faces of the two of them changed, but Prince Xilu, who had always been called the fierce and hard-boned prince, was the first to kneel down with a plop, and bowed his head in salute: "The second prince of the Lu nationality, Anahan, is meeting with Emperor Daqi."

They, Xilu, have always listened to whoever's fist is hard.

Now Chu Yunpan beheaded almost all of Xilu's brave generals, and they were beaten all over the place, and Xilu was defeated.

But the Nanman princess refused to accept it, she felt resentful in her heart, if this young general hadn't tricked their secret technique, how would they be willing to admit defeat in Nanjiang.

But she was still not reconciled, and now she could only kneel down: "Gu Yuan, the Seventh Princess of Southern Border, see Emperor Daqi."

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at the two kneeling on the ground below, he was in a good mood, he snorted coldly, and didn't ask them to get up, he just smiled and said: "You are here to negotiate peace on behalf of the two clans?"

"Yes." Gu Yuan said. "To show my sincerity, this princess came to Daqi to make a marriage."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Zhengxuan raised his gray eyebrows.

The courtiers all looked contemptuous, they are really barbarians, they actually opened their mouths to say about their marriage, without calling an elder or middleman to come forward to talk about it.

"The princess of our Lu tribe is about to arrive," Anahan said.

Gu Yuan said again: "Our Southern Border is the elder brother of the princess and his mother. This time he came to Qi, and he even brought the dowry. I just ask Da Qi to choose a date, as for the groom..."

Saying that, a pair of beautiful eyes swept across the entire court, and finally fell on Chu Yunpan: "Just marry..."

"Wait, who are you?" A sneer sounded, but it was King Liang, his charming eyes were full of sarcasm, "A princess of a defeated country, our Haoerlang from Daqi is still standing in a row to let you pick?"

Gu Yuan's small face froze, and the courtiers also fell on her small face with unkind expressions.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old face was also darkened. Originally, this was a princess of a country. If she wanted to marry someone, he would naturally allow it.

Just now Gu Yuan seemed to have taken a fancy to Chu San. After all, he is so handsome and he was the one who captured Nanman. It is understandable that the princess loves him as a young hero. If she wants to marry, she can also allow her.

But as soon as King Liang said this, Emperor Zhengxuan had reacted, what the hell, just a princess from a defeated country stood here picking and choosing from their great Qi Haoerlang, what a deal! Even if she really wants to get married, it's who he refers to and who she marries!

Gu Yuan's face turns green and white, she is a princess after all, she originally wanted to be the first to marry a good one, but unexpectedly, she was blocked.

Thinking about it, she glanced at King Liang again. He is really a handsome man, but unfortunately he is vicious, and now he doesn't care who he can marry.

"The Emperor of Great Qi." Gu Yuan gritted his teeth, "My brother said, please ask the Emperor of Qi to betroth me to General Chu."

Emperor Zhengxuan frowned.

The prince raised his brows, well, this Nanman princess seems to be entangled with Chu San, although he won't get any benefits, but such a princess will definitely be a flat wife if she marries in, and Ye Tangcai will definitely marry her. There was a conflict with Chu Yunpan.

"What are your intentions? What about the negotiated peace agreement?" Liang Wang sneered, "You actually set your sights on our most powerful general in Daqi."

Gu Yuan was so angry that he fell backwards and almost fell to the ground.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old face turned cold, Chu Yunpan is now their most powerful general in Daqi, and it is inevitable to guard the country. This Nanban princess wanted to hook him up...

Thinking about it, Emperor Zhengxuan's old face was gloomy and cold.

The courtiers also stared at Gu Yuan coldly, as if the words "bad intentions" were written on Gu Yuan's face.

Gu Yuan was so bullied that he almost vomited blood!

In fact, the Nanjiang Emperor did not say that she must marry Chu Yunpan. She just didn't want to be randomly pointed at for marriage. Moreover, Chu Yunpan is really handsome and capable. Just now she saw him running all the way with a beauty in his arms.

Her feelings for Chu Yunpan are complicated, with hatred and admiration. Thinking of how ostentatious he was with a beautiful woman in his arms, she wanted to get among them and destroy their relationship in order to avenge his attack on Southern Xinjiang. Moreover, marrying him also fulfilled his admiration for him.

I don't want to, my little calculation was actually turned over by this stunning man! This is King Liang, right? Sure enough, she is as charming and romantic as the rumors say, but she has a tricky personality, mean and unkind.

"My lord is serious. We in southern Xinjiang don't have such thoughts." Gu Yuan said angrily.

Chu Yunpan said coldly: "If you want to negotiate peace in southern Xinjiang, then follow the emperor's holy will instead of letting you pick and choose. If you don't have this sincerity, the princess will go back! This general will choose another day to send troops south!"

Gu Yuan was about to die of anger, she broke out in a cold sweat, and said anxiously: "It's all up to the Emperor Daqi."

Emperor Zhengxuan snorted coldly, and glanced at the courtiers below with drooping old eyes. If he is not of my race, his heart must be different. This Nanman princess cannot marry into the courtier's family.

Thinking about it, his eyes fell on the crown prince. The crown prince has all the main concubines and side concubines, and the status of the Nanman princess cannot be lowered, no. Like Liang Wang, there are no vacancies. Moreover, this Nanman could not fall into the hands of King Liang.

Finally, his eyes fell on King Rong again. King Rong was only eighteen years old and had not yet married a wife. Why should Princess Nanman be their main concubine of Da Qi? But now that the position of main wife is vacant, it is not a problem to let her be a side concubine.

Thinking about it, he looked at King Lu. This son was just right, and a side concubine died a few years ago and didn't accept it.

"Then give it to King Lu as a side concubine!" said Emperor Zhengxuan.

Liang Wang sneered, he had expected this result.

Gu Yuan below was startled, King Lu, which King Lu?

Just as he was thinking, he saw a man who was nearly forty years old offering his hands to Emperor Zhengxuan: "Thank you, Father."

When Gu Yuan saw that he was pointed out to this man who could be her father, his eyes went dark with anger. It doesn't matter if he is old, he looks handsome, but his face is a bit sick, and his description and temperament are also dejected.

Gu Yuan was about to die of anger, this man did not fit the image of her husband in her mind at all.

But the matter in front of her is not something she can choose.

Next, Emperor Zhengxuan discussed the peace negotiation with Anahan and Gu Yuan, and settled the terms of the peace negotiation. In fact, before the two entered Beijing, Emperor Zhengxuan had already discussed the terms with the courtiers. Now that it is proposed, after the two countries have discussed it, the terms will be finalized.

When these important matters are negotiated, the reward will be awarded: "General Chu Yunpan, the general who conquers the west, will be awarded!"

Chu Yunpan immediately knelt down.

Only the old voice of Emperor Zhengxuan sounded slowly: "Chu Yunpan, the great general who marched to the west, led his army to retreat from Xilu, educated the southern barbarians, and protected tens of thousands of people in Daqi. Fortunately, the country is very fortunate. From now on, I will be enfeoffed as Zheng Erpin Town West Marquis, and I will enter the court to discuss government affairs. I will also give you a thousand taels of gold, a thousand fertile fields, and a mansion. This is yours!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall gasped, it was actually a feudal marquis!

Think about Feng's family, who guarded Yingcheng for nine years without getting a title. At the beginning of the year, Xu Dashi was so brave, he couldn't get the title.

And the boy in front of him, who was only eighteen years old, won the honor of all those who joined the army for a lifetime in just a few months! And, most importantly, he's so young.

This is the court upstart!

Everyone, all cast hot gazes at Chu Yunpan in unison.

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Chu Yunpan bowed his head to thank him.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at him, thought for a while and said: "Give me another set of Chiyan battle armor."

King Liang was startled and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The whole court was also shocked, some young people didn't know what was going on. But Qian Zhixin, Liao Shoufu and others naturally knew this set of Chiyan armor.

It was the battle armor used by Empress Xiao of the Yuan Dynasty when she was young. This armor is special, its size can be adjusted, and it can be used by both men and women.

The courtiers all knew that this set of armor was of extraordinary significance to Emperor Zhengxuan. Since the death of Empress Xiao, the Chiyan Armor had been carefully preserved. Now, he actually wanted to give this set of armor to Chu Yunpan?

Everyone couldn't help gasping, seeing Chu Yunpan's eyes became more and more eager. The emperor really loves this General Chu!

Liang Wang stood there in a daze, then stared dryly.

When Emperor Zhengxuan saw King Liang staring there, he pretended not to see it.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Chu Yunpan saluted again.

"Hahaha, let's go, Marquis Zhenxi, follow me to the study, I have something very important to discuss with you in detail. Let's go to court!" Emperor Zhengxuan stood up after speaking, and left with Cai Jie's hand.

"Yes." Chu Yunpan was about to leave with Emperor Zhengxuan when the courtiers hurried forward: "Congratulations to Marquis Zhenxi, hehehe!"

"You kid... really, alas, hahaha! I'm convinced!" Zhang Zan looked at Chu Yunpan and sighed sincerely.

Back then, this child was in the same exam as his grandson, and in the same exam, even in high school, he was no more than a sixth-rank official. Who would have thought that in just a few months, he would be transformed from a general to a marquis? . He is a few years younger than his grandson!

This is really... It's so maddening to compare people to people!

Zhang Zan couldn't help but sighed and smiled.

Qian Zhiqian and Yao Yangcheng laughed dryly, and silently retreated to the side.

Wang Chengcun, the imperial censor who had targeted Chu Yunpan before, became even more shrunken, shrinking into a corner. Liao Shoufu looked at Chu Yunpan and sighed.

At the beginning, he wanted to murder Chu Yunpan, because Chu Yunpan blocked Chu Pingfeng's path. As a result, he didn't compete with Chu Pingfeng at all. Master, how can Chu Pingfeng compare with others?

Thinking about it, Liao Shoufu wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, he didn't do anything at that time, otherwise he would be hated. Now...hahaha, make a good relationship!

"Hahaha, congratulations, I have long felt that the general is not a man in the pool." The prince came over and patted Chu Yunpan on the shoulder.

Come on, now I can only think about winning over, but as for Ye Tangcai... I can't think about it anymore.

"Thank you, Prince." Chu Yunpan arched his hands, "I will be going to the study at the end, so I will take my leave first."

With that said, he turned and left.

The courtiers crowded him to the gate again before letting him go.

After Chu Yunpan left the main hall, he made several turns and turns, and finally came to the upper study.

Before I went in, I heard King Liang arguing inside: "I asked for that set of armor many times and it was not given to me!"

"You don't go out to fight." Emperor Zhengxuan murmured.

"Xu Dashi also fought wars, and King Kang also fought wars. Why didn't you give it? It was left moldy in the palace all the time. I asked you to ask for it, but you didn't give it to me. Now I suddenly gave it to someone else." Liang Wang said angrily.

Emperor Zhengxuan touched his forehead: "Those people don't dress well..."

In fact, in today's scene, he felt too much like Empress Xiao. Suddenly, he seemed to have realized it! Elder Sister Xiao is a lively person. It is definitely not her wish to leave that set of battle armor moldy in the palace. If it is bestowed on such a young general, it will reflect its significance.

Sister Xiao will also be moved and comforted by her spirit in the sky.

In this way, he seems to have fulfilled another sister Xiao's wish. Well, although she never made any last wishes, he has not received any instructions.

But in his opinion, she will always have a last wish. In his imagination, this set of armor is also among them.

Thinking of this, he felt a little moved.

Nanban = Southern Xinjiang. Because Daqi hated southern Xinjiang, he called them Nanman.
