Chapter 8

Seeing Eunuch Qin bringing the imperial physician here, the emperor said slowly: "Go to Liu Shangshu's mansion and pass on my oral instructions: Miss Liu San is virtuous and virtuous, Lan Xinhui is of high quality, and has outstanding appearance, and she is blessed by heaven. I am very happy, especially Betroth her to the third prince as the concubine. The etiquette has been completed, and she will be the concubine from now on."

Hearing this, Eunuch Qin hurried forward, bowed his waist and answered, "Yes."

The emperor looked at Murong Qing and Pei Mo who were kneeling by the side, his eyes were secretive: "Princess Qinglan and General Zhen Guo are blessed by heaven. Special gifts: ten thousand taels of gold, one thousand pieces of silk and satin, and a pair of jade Ruyi."

Pei Mo and Murong Qing said at the same time: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Looking at the few people in the hall, the emperor couldn't help but think of what Pei Mo said about the soldiers in the southern border.

He pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "The Marquis of the Southern Territory is good at teaching women and training soldiers. He has been stationed in the Southern Territory all year round, and has won my heart for the people of Li. Give the military talisman, and the son will inherit the title. Three days later, there will be a banquet in the imperial dining room, and I want to congratulate the king of the southern region."

As soon as this remark came out, the kneeling people all widened their eyes in surprise.

King of the Southern Realm, this is the only prince in the Four Realms!
Everything else is Lord Hou!

He even let the king of the southern border take charge of the soldiers and horses of the southern border, and bestowed soldiers with talismans, which is unprecedented!

Even Murong Qing never thought that His Majesty would suddenly give such a big reward, but she was not half happy, only felt uneasy.

Since ancient times, the emperors have been afraid of the excessive power in the hands of those who use soldiers, but now they are giving soldiers talismans, which is really unpredictable.

What's more, now that the southern part of the four realms has been named a prince, it will surely arouse the dissatisfaction of the other three realms.

But the emperor said a lot, and the words of rewards have been spoken, so there is no reason to take them back!

Just as she was thinking about it, Concubine Xuan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the king of the southern realm...is this reward too much? Why don't you give me some silver taels."

After all, Murong Qing and Sheng Xiuyan had no predestined relationship, and it was really not for the officials to see the Southern Territory receiving this award.

Naturally, it is not what their mother and son are happy to see!

The emperor immediately darkened his face: "The emperor has said a lot, how can he take it back?"

Concubine Xuan hurriedly knelt down and said in panic: "It's my concubine who made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty forgive me."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and there was no sound.

"Get up!" the emperor suddenly said, and then got up to help Murong Qing and Pei Mo, with a smile on his face: "The princess and the general of the country are really talented and beautiful, no wonder they are a godsend. But after this Waiting for things, I am afraid that the king of the southern border is also worried, the princess will definitely appease the old prince."

Murong Qing bowed his knees and performed the Wanfu salute: "Yes."

The wrong marriage was settled properly, the emperor did not stay long, and left Dexuan Palace, Eunuch Qin hurriedly followed, and ordered people to go to Liushangshu's mansion and Nanjinghou's mansion to pass on the word of mouth.

Murong Qing, Pei Mo, and Liu Qing left after the emperor left.

Only Sheng Xiuyan was left in the palace by Concubine Xuan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After dismissing the maids and eunuchs of Dexuan Palace, Sheng Xiuyan smashed all the porcelain cups on the table to the ground.

"Bitch! This bitch!"

"It's a good thing I've been courting her for so long, but she doesn't want to change it back today! Slut!"

"Pei Mo! He actually robbed Ben Gong of a woman, and you're courting death!"

"You are just a courtier, but I am the prince! The third prince of the Dashun Dynasty!"

……

Sheng Xiuyan was so angry that he smashed things and cursed angrily.

Concubine Xuan didn't stop her either, as if she was familiar with Sheng Xiuyan's temperament.

It wasn't until he finished his anger and sat down that Concubine Xuan said slowly: "The emperor is really reckless today, knowing that His Majesty is already displeased, how can he forcefully change it back?"

Hearing this, Sheng Xiuyan clasped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, with bulging veins on the back of his hands, and his black eyes were full of ruthlessness: "I don't know why, don't the queen mother understand my son? The soldiers in the southern border are strong and horses are strong, and they are the strongest in the four realms!" If I can win over the King of the Southern Realm, I will be able to fight against the Second Emperor Brother in the future!"

Thinking that not only failed to exchange Murong Qing back today, but even angered Longyan, he felt even more annoyed.

"Father is really confused. He didn't even help his ministers. How could he follow Pei Mo's wishes? He even added officials to the king of the southern region!" Sheng Xiuyan gritted his teeth in annoyance, especially when he thought of the emperor's presence in front of these people. scolded him in the face of a man.

It really made him lose face!
Concubine Xuan frowned: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, it's fine to talk about it here with the queen mother, and you must not say a word when you go out!"

Sheng Xiuyan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

But when he thought of losing the support of the Marquis of the Southern Territory, he couldn't help worrying.

Most of the troops of the Dashun Dynasty were in Jingzhou and the three borders of east, south and north.

Although there are soldiers and horses in the western region, they are pitifully few, and the focus here is on merchants and farmland.

He couldn't win over Jingzhou's troops, let alone the courage.Dongjing is also the queen's natal family, so she will naturally obey the orders of the second prince in the future.

The rest is the South and the North!
The Northern Territory used to be under the jurisdiction of the Pei family. Now, although the Marquis of the Northern Territory is no longer a member of the Pei family, he was also cultivated by the Pei family. Naturally, he served Pei Mo.

As for Pei Mo, don't even think about it.Being named the Great General of Zhen Guo at a young age, he is naturally proud.Now that this happened again, it was definitely not something he could win over.

In this way, only the southern border is left...

Sheng Xiuyan squinted his eyes: "No! Murong Qing, I can't give up, especially in the south!"

Although he didn't like Murong Qing, he even hated her carefree temper, thinking that she didn't have the gentle and shy appearance of his daughter's family.

But there is no other way but to start with her!

"As expected of the queen's son, I know that the southern border cannot be given up."

Concubine Xuan got up, brought the tea beside him and put it down, smiled at Yan Yan and said: "From the perspective of the empress mother, Murong Qing didn't want to exchange it because of face, but in fact he still has affection for you. As smart as you are, you should know what to do to make her love you."

After the words fell, he slowly sat on the chair beside Sheng Xiuyan.

"If it weren't for the fact that she is the daughter of the king of the southern region, the queen mother would not want her to marry you as the royal family. What's more, now that she is not innocent, how can she be worthy of the emperor's son? It's okay if you don't change it back, Save the emperor's body from being dirty!"

Sheng Xiuyan took a sip of the tea and nodded, "That's true, I just cared about her status, just a woman who lost her body, how could I want her!"

However, he never expected that Pei Mo's body could perform Zhou Gong's courtesy.

It looks like it won't live long!
Suddenly, a plan came to his mind, and after repeated consideration, he hurriedly got up.

"Empress mother, son-in-law will take his leave first, and will enter the palace another day to pay his respects."

Seeing the smile on his face, Concubine Xuan guessed that he had thought of a solution, so she took off a hairpin on top of her head with a smile: "My lord, since the concubine has been appointed, although Miss Liu San is humble, she still needs to be treated as a concubine." Coax her, lest she cause trouble. What's more, this is considered to have won Liu Shangshu, one more person is better than one less."

She put the hairpin in Sheng Xiuyan's hand.

"This hairpin was a reward from His Majesty a few days ago, just give it to her."

Sheng Xiuyan is also a smart person, he knows what to do: "I understand."
