Chapter 269 Give marriage, side concubine!
The lively New Year passed in a mess.
That's right, it was the chaos of war and the continuous heavy snow that caused disasters in many places in the Datai Dynasty, and the national treasury was empty and the disaster relief was weak. Fortunately, Chu Shaolin's previous damages were vigorously promoted by using fame, wealth and status to lure merchants to invest. Many wealthy businessmen donated generously, and finally the New Year was peaceful.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the northern border was rushed to the capital for 800 miles, and the northern barbarians invaded the border! When the capital was not known, the Zhenbei Army had officially begun to confront the Northern barbarians.
The Zhenbei Army asked the Zhenbei King to return to the northern border and rule the barbarians in the Zhenbei Army. They also sent a joint petition sent by representatives of tens of thousands of people in the northern border, asking the Zhenbei King to return to the northern border.
Seeing the petition, Emperor Taixi was silent. If possible, he really didn't want Chu Shaolin to return to the northern border. Once the tiger is released, he will be raising the tiger in the future.
"Emperor, you must not let King Zhenbei go to the northern border!" Empress Dowager Lin heard the news, and was not careful to confront Emperor Taixi and rushed over: "The reason why the old emperor wanted to eliminate King Zhenbei was because King Zhenbei was self-reliant in the northern border area. He only knew that King Zhenbei was not a priest, but the ambition of King Zhenbei was evident!"
But the war broke out in the northern border, so the king of Zhenbei was not allowed to go back? What reason should I use to object?
After Emperor Taixi raised this question, Empress Dowager Lin was also silent and didn't know what to do.
The person who proposed the solution was Concubine Hui. She said unintentionally: "Isn't Princess Zhenbei pregnant with Rocca? Can she withstand such long-distance travel? Didn't she hear that Princess Zhenbei's pregnancy is not very stable?"
Empress Dowager Lin's eyes lit up immediately. He heard that the King of Zhenbei and the Princess and the Princess were in love. The Princess of Zhenbei is now pregnant again. The precious descendants of Zhenbei are in her belly. If the Princess of Zhenbei can be detained, there will be no worries that the King of Zhenbei will not bow down and obey.
Emperor Taixi naturally thought of what Queen Mother Lin could think of, but unlike Queen Mother Lin, he did not think that keeping Qin Shu would have much impact on Chu Shaolin.
As for women, no matter how much they like, they are not as important as the country. With a country, what kind of beauty can't be obtained? As for the childbirth, can't other women have children?
He felt that detaining Qin Shu would not only not use this to threaten Chu Shaolin, but would intensify his attitude. If he was angry and really rebel, who should he cry?
"What if the Princess Zhenbei is just a manifestation of the Princess Zhenbei?" Emperor Taixi did not dare to let Chu Shaolin go so easily: "It's just a woman, why should a real man have no wife? If we detain the Princess Zhenbei and let the Princess Zhenbei go, in addition to letting the tiger go back to the mountain, the tiger will also make it even more out of control."
Empress Dowager Lin smiled confidently: "You are still young after all, and you don't understand the lineage of Zhenbei. People from their lineage have always been attracted by women. They are not for their handsome appearance. The King of Zhenbei has been a love species in all dynasties. If they don't give their feelings, they will definitely be the only one in their life if they give their efforts. The late emperor was able to deal with the heroic King of Zhenbei so smoothly, and it was his princess!"
When Emperor Taixi heard Empress Dowager Lin talked carelessly about the framed King of Zhenbei in front of Concubine Hui, he coughed twice and glanced at Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui was very cleverly lowering her head. As early as when Queen Mother Lin mentioned that things happened, she quickly pretended to be like she didn't hear anything and didn't understand it. However, she was inexplicably full of envy and jealousy towards Princess Zhenbei.
Isn’t this the only thing that women in the world want to love is to love, and one person in their lives is what women in the world want but cannot get?
I remember that she had been moved by someone at the beginning, and thought that if she could marry him, even if she lived the life of ordinary people, she would be fine.
But that person killed her father, who had always loved her the most, directly causing panic in the Western Yue Dynasty. She was defeated by the Great Thai Dynasty. She also became a married princess and was buried in the deep palace.
But Concubine Hui, the Eighth Princess, did not hate Su Qin in her heart. What does it have to do with Su Qin? He was just the knife in someone else's hand, and was forced to do those things. Later, because of the things he did, he actually jumped into the river and committed suicide.
The moment she heard the news of Su Qin's death, the Eighth Princess was very complicated, either joy or sadness. She felt inexplicably as if she had been hollowed out, empty.
She thought that she might never find someone like her to be moved by her whole life.
"Since that's the case, you might as well test it first." Emperor Taixi did not dare to be so arbitrary. What if Chu Shaolin was not as infatuated as his ancestors? After all, he grew up in the Gu family and did not receive the words and deeds of the King of Zhenbei. In the Gu family, that man did not have three wives and four concubines, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Gu Yuanye favored his concubine and killed his wife.
Emperor Taixi was worried about Chu Shaolin who grew up in such an environment.
Queen Mother Lin thought about it and agreed: "How do you want to test it?"
Emperor Taixi narrowed his eyes and made up his mind.
After the New Year, Emperor Taixi returned to the court. After the scattered dynasty, he suddenly issued an imperial edict and pointed out Cha Qingming, the daughter of the left censor Cha Xuan, to King Zhenbei as his concubine.
As soon as the news spread, the capital was in an uproar.
Who is Cha Qingming? The famous talented woman and beauty in the capital are not like Li Quan, but she is more famous. Cha Qingming is a real talented woman. Even if the old-fashioned man who looks down on women and claims to be noble and arrogant, he will praise him when he talks about Cha Qingming.
Many people are speculating that such a talented woman will eventually fall into the royal family, and a concubine cannot escape. Unexpectedly, God's will is unpredictable. An imperial edict actually turned her into the concubine of the King of Zhenbei!
The concubine sounds nice, but in fact, in front of the princess, she is a concubine!
"I heard that the Zuodu Censor Cha Xuan's house is almost in a state of chaos." Qin Shu slowly bit the sour plum, glanced at Chu Shaolin with an upset face and smiled: "I seem to be very dissatisfied. A beautiful girl's family wants to be your concubine. No wonder, Miss Cha was raised in her hand. Mrs. Cha had been through the talents in the capital long before her daughter and the hairpin. She was so excited that she wanted to find a good husband for her daughter. For Mrs. Cha, she was just a bolt from the blue."
Chu Shaolin stretched out his fingers and pressed Qin Shu's eyes and pulled them upwards. Her cat eyes were instantly pulled into inverted triangle eyes. He was still not satisfied. After his wife became pregnant, she bit her more pink face and said, "I'll gloat you!"
"Ouch!" After Qin Shu became pregnant, all kinds of sensing became much more sensitive, and her skin was even more delicate than a baby. After being bitten, several red stamps appeared instantly: "Are you a dog?"
"If I were a dog, what are you?" Chu Shaolin had actually regretted looking at the stamps, but he refused to admit defeat. While ridiculing Qin Shu for inappropriate words, he came over and kissed the stamps gently, and licked them one by one with the tip of his tongue.
"You..." Qin Shu suddenly felt a numb feeling, and quickly pushed the person away, covering his face with one hand: "Who is gloating? You are about to marry a concubine. I am not old and yellow, and I am going to give way to the newcomer. Don't I beg you for a slander?"
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you do!" When Chu Shaolin heard that Qin Shu was sore, he immediately drank honey in his heart and hugged him for a moment: "Don't worry, I made a vow to be alone. The emperor also knew about this, and he was probably using this to test me."
Emperor Taixi was suspicious of Qin Shu, but Emperor Taixi suddenly made such a decision to test Chu Shaolin? Is he really devoted himself to Qin Shu?
Stop teasing! Qin Shu secretly curled his lips. Emperor Taixi was not that kind of personality, and he didn't know the relationship between her and An Ran, so it was even more impossible for him to help her test her husband.
"Mr. Jian sent a letter to say that the Zhenbei Army had already fought with the Northern Barbarians." Chu Shaolin clenched his fists hard. Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was in the northern border, and the Northern border was his place of residence: "The Zhenbei Army, together with the people of the Northern border, and the above-mentioned emperor, requested that I return to the Northern border."
The thoughts in Qin Shu's mind quickly moved around. There was no doubt that Emperor Taixi definitely did not want Chu Shaolin to return to the northern border, which meant that he had lost control over the Zhenbei King and the Zhenbei Army, but he could not openly reject the requirements of the Zhenbei Army and the people in the northern border.
King Zhenbei originally belonged to the northern border. It is natural for Chu Shaolin to return to the northern border. Even if you are the emperor, you must have a perfect reason!
"He can't let you leave, but he can't dismiss the request from the northern border." Qin Shu's mind flashed, and he seemed to understand Emperor Taixi's intention: "At this time, I will give you a concubine. According to your temperament and temperament, I will refuse without hesitation, even in the name of disrespect for the order."
Chu Shaolin smiled happily: "It's better for you to understand me!" What is the imperial edict? Doesn't it mean a person's meaning? Is it great to be an emperor? (To be continued)
