At the end of March, Emperor Xuande personally went to Jinyang City to supervise the battle. The morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty was greatly boosted and the attacks became more brave. Jinyang City had been defending for two months, and the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom could no longer be counted on. Now the city gate can be broken at any time. Since the defeat was decided, in order to prevent the Great Zhou from massacring the people after the Great Zhou Dynasty broke the city, Emperor Liu Ye finally surrendered. At this point, the six prefectures under Jin State were merged into the Great Zhou. Except for the fourteen Youyun prefectures that were offered to the Liao Kingdom by the foolish monarchs in the north, the Central Plains had all belonged to the Great Zhou of the Zhao family.

Emperor Xuande is very happy!

The ministers praised his brother, Emperor Gaozu, for his great and powerful military strategy to fight the world, but Emperor Gaozu failed to conquer Jin State. He, a younger brother who was not respected by his ministers, was defeated! From now on, it will be seen who dares to look down on him, so what about the literati emperor? The literati can still conquer the world with strategy!

After pursuing a thought, Emperor Xuande stood on the wall of Jinyang City and looked at the Liao Kingdom in the north, with a flash of light in his eyes.

When he returned to the capital, Emperor Xuande first summoned the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple to ask about the preparations for the wedding of the fourth prince Gong. The eldest, second and third brothers all married the princess, and the three daughters-in-law were still pregnant this year. Just wait for the fourth brothers to start a family and start a business, Emperor Xuande could plan the country with all his heart. As for his only daughter, Princess Duanhui, he was only fourteen this year. Emperor Xuande was not in a hurry, so he stayed for a few more years before he talked about it.

On April 16th, King Gong’s wedding.

Song Jianing and Zhao Heng had passed by early in the morning. The male guests were lively in the front yard. Song Jianing talked with the familiar Princess Qin and others in the back yard. Princess Rui had the largest month, and it was six months old, but her belly showed her embrace, but her face was not very fat, which made Song Jianing envious. Her appetite this month has improved significantly, and the naked eye on her face is about to return to the richness of the New Year...

Feng Zheng has been four months old, and her dress is loose and can’t be seen for the time being, but she looks rosy and she lives a very good life at first glance.

Song Jianing was closest to her, and the sisters-in-law talked softly about the trivial matters of getting pregnant with children, mainly because Feng Zheng taught Song Jianing experience.

Princess Rui listened secretly and saw Feng Zheng and Song Jianing all looked like peach blossoms. Thinking about her since she got pregnant, except for the first day of the month and the fifteenth day of each month, Princess Rui was in the vixen house of Zhang's family for the rest of the time. Princess Rui felt a sense of soreness in her heart and asked Song Jianing with a smile: "Is my brother and sister pregnant for three months? Is it possible to arrange a room for the third prince?"

Song Jianing was not close to her. When Princess Rui opened her mouth to inquire about this, Song Jianing was a little surprised, and then asked in confusion: "Why did the second sister-in-law ask this?" She couldn't say that she didn't seem to be so jealous. Although the main reason she didn't make arrangements was that her Prince Shou was not close to women, at least she didn't show the intention of wanting to have sex. When she didn't accompany her, she would live alone in the front yard, which was so serious.

Song Jianing looked honest and looked like he was not scheming. Princess Rui thought that Song Jianing would answer whatever she asked. Now Song Jianing asked back, Princess Rui looked at Princess Chu and said jokingly: "I heard that the eldest prince loves his sister-in-law very much. The original wife has been sent away. I wonder if my brother and sister have learned how to control the husband from her sister-in-law, and let the third prince only guard you."

She smiled intimately, but she didn't speak very well, but Song Jianing and Feng Zheng knew that Princess Rui was having a uncomfortable life, and neither sister-in-law nor narrow-minded people were. She looked at each other and replied, "The second brother and sister-in-law are really a slap in me. We are all serving the prince. We all acted according to the prince's orders. How dare you think of any way to control your husband?"

Feng Zheng stopped when she clicked, but Princess Rui's face changed slightly. She believed that Feng Zheng was mocking her and that she was not able to get into the eyes of King Rui. Therefore, King Rui went to spoil her concubines. Feng Zheng and Song Jianing were liked by men and could only favor their respective palaces. But the fact is clearly that Zhang's bitch was good at using fox charming techniques and confused King Rui!

Smiling perfunctorily, Princess Rui turned her head and was sulking alone, and glanced at the new house of the fourth prince Gong. Princess Rui had a wish now, hoping that Princess Gong would be as miserable as her and would not be favored by Prince Gong. Otherwise, the four princes, three of them, prefer the princess, but she, Princess Rui, was neglected, and it was too embarrassing to spread.

With this idea, when the groom came back to pick up the bride and wanted to pick up the veil, Princess Rui was even more nervous than Prince Gong, holding a veil in her hand and staring at the veil tightly.

King Gong held up the golden scale rod, his hands trembling slightly. He had never seen Li Mulan before. He only heard that Li Mulan was raised by the Li family as a man since he was a child and learned good skills. He only saw Li Mulan's portrait once on his mother Huifei. In the painting, Li Mulan has a pair of phoenix eyes and a smile on her lips. She is not as gentle as her third sister-in-law, but she is also a beauty.

As a man, Prince Gong only hopes that her princess is beautiful and gentle. Whether she can do kung fu is not important.

The throat rolled, and the 18-year-old King Gong slowly raised his veil, but his eyes were staring below the veil. The first thing he saw was a piece of chin, and his skin was dark... A black-faced princess, King Gong's heart sank. When the veils were all lifted, he found that Li Mulan had a thin and cold face, and the only desirable phoenix eyes were beautiful but heroic. She did not see the tenderness that a woman should have. When King Gong's lips pursed, his displeasure was beyond words.

Li Mulan saw it and didn't care much. She turned her eyes from King Gong's face and looked straight at the women not far away. When she saw Song Jianing, Li Mulan smiled generously and cheerful.

Song Jianing couldn't laugh a little. Why didn't Sister Mulan dress up? Although this is not ugly, the bride should dress up better, right? But thinking of Sister Mulan's temper, Song Jianing quickly figured it out and nodded at the bride with a smile. At this time, King Gong turned his back to her, and Song Jianing could not see King Gong's face. When King Gong turned around and sat next to Li Mulan, seeing King Gong's serious face clearly, Song Jianing couldn't help but sweat for Li Mulan.

Prince Gong, shouldn’t he dislike Sister Mulan?

King Gong really doesn't like it. The third sister-in-law is the most beautiful, not as beautiful as a woman in the world. She is so charming that she is hard to come by. He doesn't compare with his third brother, but Li Mulan can't even compare with her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. She is dark and not gentle. She doesn't even look like a woman on her wedding day. How can she look like a woman? The father actually gave him a woman like a marriage, and her heart is too biased!

Depressed, King Gong could only drink to relieve his sorrows, and fought with others one by one. Finally, he was drunk and was carried back to the new house by two little eunuchs. King Gong was full of alcohol, and Li Mulan was very displeased and asked the maids to serve King Gong to take a bath. She sat alone in the inner room. King Gong vomited over there, drank sober tea and took a bath. The man was a little awake. When he returned to the inner room, he saw Li Mulan actually reading a book, or a military book. King Gong snorted: "When is the wedding night, you are asking you to read the book?"

Li Mulan glanced at him, thought of her mother's instructions, so she put down the book and went to bed to lie down.

Although King Gong didn't like this princess, he admired the old general Li, and he didn't like it so much that he didn't even touch Li Mulan on the night of the wedding. Since Li Mulan had lying down, he took off his outer robe and walked to the bed. Li Mulan closed her eyes, seemed to dislike him a little. King Gong pursed her lips, untied her clothes, imitated her, and said nothing, and went straight to the bridal chamber.

Li Mulan practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she had never eaten any hardships. Although she was extremely uncomfortable, she endured it without saying a word. Seeing that she was like a wooden man, she would not hold him up and please him like two palace maids, and she didn't even plead. He suddenly lost interest and ended up rushing to the side, lying down with her eyes closed and then fell asleep. Li Mulan lay silently for a moment, feeling that she could move, so she sat up, walked around the screen and cleaned up herself, then returned to the bed, pulled half of the quilt to lie on her side with her back to the man.

The dragon and phoenix candles on the opposite side were lit quietly, Li Mulan's eyes were empty, and the words of her mother at home sounded in her ears: "Mulan, you are a woman, you will eventually marry and take care of your husband and children. Forget those skills, give birth to a son earlier, and you will have a good life, and your mother will feel at ease."

Li Mulan closed her eyes.

My father died early, and my mother had been fond of her for more than ten years, so my mother asked her to give her a good show, so she went to the show. My mother advised her to marry her, and she also became the Princess Gong. However, this was not the life she wanted at all. What she wanted was to kill the enemy like her grandfather and father, and to defend her country, rather than lying under a man and just for fish.

Song Jianing saw Li Mulan again. It was King Gong and his wife who came to the palace to pay tribute to Empress Li. Song Jianing sat next to Feng Zheng. When the palace maid reported that King Gong and his wife had arrived, she immediately turned her head and looked at the door. King Gong came in first, and Song Jianing looked behind him and saw Li Mulan wearing a princess crown and her face was as normal as a shy person on her face.

Song Jianing was vaguely worried, and then he realized keenly that the couple had never looked at each other when they saluted.

Ask An, Li Mulan followed Prince Gong to Huifei's Palace. Song Jianing and Feng Zheng walked out of the palace together, and the sisters-in-law whispered. Feng Zheng whispered: "Why do I think Prince Gong doesn't seem to be very satisfied with his fourth brother and sister?"

Even my sister-in-law said so, and Song Jianing was worried about changing Li Mulan.

When Zhao Heng came back in the evening, Song Jianing secretly asked her husband: "Do you have any preferences for King Gong?"

Zhao Heng glanced at her and asked, "Why ask him?"

Song Jianing sighed, and did not hide it from him. He told her the guesses between her and Feng Zheng, and finally said: "I have a friend with Sister Mulan. The prince told me what King Gong likes. I will find an opportunity to tell her again. The couple may be more harmonious." In Song Jianing's heart, Li Mulan is an open-minded and cheerful woman, and she deserves respect and love from men.

Zhao Heng didn't know Li Mulan, but Prince Gong... Looking at the little princess who was worried about her good sister in front of him, Zhao Heng suddenly thought of the first time he saw her in the palace. At that time, their brothers wanted to compete with arrows. Before the competition, the fourth brother picked up a stone and threw it at her feet. After the competition, the fourth brother chased her and whispered to her cousin Jianing.

Zhao Heng could probably guess what kind of woman the fourth brother liked. She was the only one who was stupid and always belittled. She didn't know how much she was recruiting.

"I don't know." Zhao Heng said lightly.

Song Jianing looked disappointed.

"I don't think much about raising my baby with peace of mind." Zhao Heng held the person into his arms, gently pressed his hands against her flat belly through his clothes, and ordered.

He was afraid that she would worry too much about the baby, so Song Jianing smiled and leaned against his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, prince, I'm responsible."

Zhao Heng rubbed her brows and believed it for the time being.
