Before setting off, Ye Molan sent someone to deliver a letter to Ouyang Dingfeng, and then set off with Yin Xianling to the Chiyan Palace of the Western Demon Sect.

Before departure, I only left a letter to my family. If I told everyone directly, I would definitely not be able to leave the house.

It takes about a month and a half for an 8-year-old child to travel with a snake from the Imperial City of the South to the West. After all, it is impossible to ride a fast horse all the time and can only ride in a carriage. Yin Xianling cannot hold a baby and fly all the way. If someone sees them, they will definitely think of them as monsters, so it's better for us to be normal.

The third day after Ye Molan and Yin Xianling went out.

The envoys of the State of Yan arrived at the Southern Imperial City, and at the same time they also came with two princesses of the State of Yan, and a pair of twin sisters, Linghu Xuemei and Linghu Dongmei.

Princess Linghu Xuemei of the State of Yan married the prince of the Southern State;

Use Princess Linghu Dongmei to marry the third prince of the Southern Kingdom.

Linghu Xuemei married the prince of the Southern Kingdom as a concubine.

Linghu Dongmei married the third prince of the Southern Kingdom as a concubine.

The prince of the Southern Kingdom has one main concubine, the number of concubines is 4 according to regulations, the number of wives is limited to 16, and there is no limit on the number of other concubines and beauties.

The prince of the Southern Kingdom has one main concubine, the number of side concubines is two according to regulations, the number of wives is limited to eight, and there is no limit on the number of other concubines and beauties.

After upgrading the throne, the number of concubines increases to 4.

The regulations of the Southern Emperor's harem were one queen, three palaces, six courtyards, and 72 concubines. There were hierarchical distinctions in concubines and beauties, and there was no limit on the number.

Only the lord of a palace can call himself this palace, which includes the three palaces of the Queen Mother, Empress, De, Shu, Xian, and the Prince.

Occasionally, a princess with a title and exclusive palace can also

Calls himself my palace.

It is very rare for a princess to be the lord of a palace. (This is different in a country that favors women. What we are talking about here is the regulations of a patriarchal country.)

72Concubines can only call themselves concubines.

The concubines of each prince's palace can only call themselves their own concubines.

In this way, the third prince Nangong Wenhao's 1 principal concubine and 2 side concubines are full, and in three months he will marry the principal concubine Gongsun Rouya, the cousin of the uncle's family of the military general family, and the princess of Yan Kingdom Linghu Dong at the same time. Mei, these three princesses and princes will be granted titles and fiefs after their wedding.

Princes are awarded royal titles because they were born into the royal family. After their wedding, all princes will be awarded royal titles and enjoy a salary. Most of them are idle princes, who are granted a small fiefdom and have no right to participate in government affairs.

There is a difference between a prince who has made great achievements and was awarded a title, a prince who occupies a fiefdom with a prominent position and holds real power, a regent who has the right to intervene in government affairs, and a prince with real power such as Prince Ning who holds military power.

I don’t know what the emperor of the Southern Kingdom thought. He kept the third prince in the imperial city and allowed the prince and the third prince to go to court together and participate in the government affairs.

Everyone could only talk about who allowed the concubine De, the mother of the third prince, to be favored, while the empress, the concubine of the prince, was not favored.

In Duanmu Mansion.

Duanmu Qiming was furious. He had been in business for many years, and Duanmujie was already the Crown Princess of the Southern Kingdom. If he fully supported his little daughter to win the favor of the third prince, not to mention the princess, she would at least be able to win the position of a side concubine. Besides, the third prince already had many For the first time, Duanmu Qiming made it clear that the position of the third prince's concubine would be reserved for Duanmu Molan, the youngest daughter of the Duanmu Mansion. Now, Duanmu Qiming made it clear to his secret master, Linghu Shenhou, that Linghuxiang had given up his concubine's daughter. He was granted the title of Princess of the State of Yan, and also made

The two princesses of the Yan Kingdom were sent to be the concubines of the Southern Crown Prince and the Third Prince. Didn't they cut off their own paths?

Obviously, the master Linghu Xiang's move this time was to compete with Duanmu Qiming for resources.

Linghuxiang, the Linghu God of the Yan Kingdom, could not allow his ANBU subordinate Duanmu Qiming to develop into an uncontrollable situation.

Linghu Xuemei marries the Southern Crown Prince as a concubine, which will obviously suppress the Crown Princess Duanmujie's interests.

Linghu Dongmei married the third prince as a concubine and occupied the third prince's last concubine position. Duanmu Qiming's plan for his youngest daughter Duanmu Molan had to be scrapped.

Duanmu Qiming had to find a new path. The talents of his younger daughter Duanmu Molan could not be wasted like this.

the other side.

Two sisters, Linghu Xuemei and Linghu Dongmei, secretly met Duanmujie, the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom, with the orders from Linghu God Marquis.

Since the two sisters of the Linghu family were sent to the Southern Kingdom by the Lord Linghu, they naturally represent Linghu Xiang's instructions. Even though Duanmujie has become the Crown Princess of the Southern Kingdom, she is also the leader of the Kuizhi Hall of the Yan Kingdom's Heroes Association sect.

The two princesses of the Hu family are Duanmujie's young masters.

This made Duanmujie feel very aggrieved.

In Duanmujie's heart, the crown prince and the three princes of the Southern Kingdom are all her men. Linghu Xuemei and Linghu Dongmei, these two women are rivals who come to compete with her for favors and rights. Although she is resentful in her heart,

Don't show off your face, but warmly welcome Sister Linghu.

The Linghu sisters are not brainless women. They are also carefully cultivated by the secret department of the Yan Kingdom's Heroes Association. The two sisters married into the Southern Kingdom's royal family. Their main task is to destroy the secret connection between the Southern Kingdom's royal family and the Yan Kingdom's Beiming Palace.
