Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 471: Please the sister-in-law
Zhao Mu also lamented Princess Shoukang's good calculation. Now that he was in power, he became a popular figure in front of the emperor. It's not enough for her to be her own matchmaker, she also wants to get married to her in Prince Shang's Mansion.

It's just that Princess Shoukang is old, and it may be too late to give birth to a daughter now. Now I can only snatch other people's daughters.

However, Duke Xin and his wife were very happy and even honored when they heard that their child could be adopted into the lap of the princess. What's more, his daughter can be promoted to a higher status and become the princess.

Concubine Chai is the biological sister of King Shang, so she is naturally more happy for her family to marry Zhao Mu, his nominal son.

But Zhao Mu felt that the Chai clan's behavior of "eating one fish and eating two" was somewhat dirty.

After Chai Wenxiu entered the house, she not only became in-laws with Duke Xin's Palace, but also with Prince Shang's Palace. Although there are no annoying people in Prince Shang's palace now, Zhao Mu still doesn't want to have anything to do with the third sister who always looks down on him, and the old bastard Prince Shang who picks up ashes.

But now the deal is done, and it's too late for Zhao Mu to object.

Zhao Mu is also complaining a little now, why Zhe Zong didn't say hello to him just now.

But Zhao Mu couldn't blame Zhe Zong, because Zhe Zong also felt that this was a good thing. The reputation of Duke Xin Guo among the Chai clan is far less than that of King Shang. Letting Zhao Mu marry the Prince of Shang will be more conducive to him getting the support of the Xungui Group in the future. It also creates better conditions for him to succeed him as emperor in the future.

But seeing his sister-in-law's angry expression, Zhao Mu couldn't bear it.

After hearing Zhao Mu's promise, Princess Xiao Qian suddenly turned from worry to joy.

Zhao Mu rolled his eyes, then chuckled and said: "Haha, what's the grievance? It turns out that the sister-in-law is unhappy because of this trivial matter. Isn't it just a concubine position? When Yuhuan marries me in the future, I will also Isn’t it enough for her to be a concubine?”

Originally, my sister-in-law's marriage to her useless brother was like a flower stuck in cow dung. It was entirely in order to consolidate their relationship that Prince Deng let her marry the old and incompetent husband of Prince Dongping.

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Why should I deceive my sister-in-law?"

Princess Xiao Qian's eyes lit up and she asked, "Is what uncle said true?"

The marriage between Prince Deng and Zhao Mu was also facilitated by his sister-in-law. The purpose was to make up for her "investment failure". Now because of Princess Shoukang's obstruction, Prince Deng's palace is somewhat embarrassed. Zhao Mu sympathized with her.

Concubine Chai was an open-minded mother-in-law. She comforted her and said: "Okay, my dear, there is nothing we can do about it. The position of this concubine should indeed belong to the child of Yuhuan, but it can't stand up to His Highness Shoukang's face. It can't be done. Let His Highness Shoukang's heir become a concubine. This will also wrong the girl Yuhuan."

Seeing Zhao Mu's eyes, Concubine Chai also noticed Princess Xiao Qian's expression.

Concubine Chai couldn't help frowning when she heard this and said: "But according to the ancestral system of our dynasty, the prince's concubine only has one title, two concubines, and four concubines. The rest can only be called madam and concubine. My son wants to give Yuhuan another concubine. As for the concubine position, I don’t know if I want to demote Jin’er to a concubine, or my family Wenxiu to a concubine?”

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Why do you want to demote me? Why don't I ask your majesty to give me the position of concubine?"

Concubine Chai still said: "But this is inconsistent with the ancestral system. I'm afraid your Majesty will not allow it."

Zhao Mu still chuckled and said: "Ancestral system? Sometimes the ancestral system can be changed. Isn't the reform of the military system promoted by Your Majesty and Hai'er now breaking the ancestral system? Besides, when Hai'er married Wan'er, , Your Majesty gave the child the honor of ten dragon flags. There is no heir in the Song Dynasty who has married with the prince's gift."

Concubine Chai was also stunned when she heard this. Indeed, the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty seemed unable to control his good son. After getting Zhao Mu's promise, Princess Xiao Qian said happily: "Uncle is really sincere to my Yuhuan. I am here to thank her future husband for Yuhuan. Originally, the father, the mother, the concubine, and Yuhuan because of this This has been frustrating for several days. They will be very happy when they hear this news.”

After hearing what Zhao Mu said, Concubine Chai said nothing more.

Because of this matter, my daughter-in-law has been depressed for several days. Although Concubine Chai was partial to Chai Wenxiu, she did not want this incident to affect the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Now that Zhao Mu has solved this problem by himself, it is a good thing.

Concubine Chai put on a smile and said: "Okay, this matter has been resolved satisfactorily. You don't have to be unhappy, Yuzhen. Mu'er's return is a great joy. We will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight. Let's The whole family gets together."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Okay. Then I'll help my mother."

Then everyone entered the mansion together.

Concubine Chai and Zhao Ji are arranging the reunion dinner tonight. Zhao Mu, on the other hand, called all his wives and concubines together. Then he began to distribute the gifts he had brought back from Korea to everyone.

Mu Wanqing helped Hu Yanjin, who had a bulging belly, to come forward.

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin's round belly and walked forward gently, then lay on her belly and listened.

Zhao Mu then asked: "Jin'er, how is your appetite during this period? Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?"

Hu Yanjin smiled and shook her head and said, "No. My sister-in-law, mother, and sisters Wan'er and A'Zhu have taken good care of me. It's just that I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, and my bones feel a little broken."

A'Zhu said at this time: "Sister Huyan is a restless person. Now she is pregnant with my husband's baby. Naturally, she can no longer be the same as before."

Hu Yanjin also sighed and said, "Oh! Being a woman is really hard. Now that I'm pregnant with a child, I can't even move."

Seeing Hu Yanjin's slightly disappointed look, Zhao Mu asked, "What? Jin'er, do you really want to go out and play? Why do you have to move?"

Hu Yanjin touched her belly and smiled at Zhao Mu: "I was still thinking about going to war with you after giving birth. I heard from my sister-in-law that my father is reorganizing the army during this time. Will there be another battle? What big move? In addition to whip skills, archery skills, and spear and stick skills, I also want to go into battle with you. By the way, I won't give birth in more than half a year. Do you think I can still go out with you? ?”

Zhao Mu gently stroked Hu Yanjin's long hair on the temples and said, "Well! I guess I won't be able to make it in time. Let's wait until next time."

Hu Yanjin let out a sigh of frustration. She touched her belly and said to herself: "We are all little enemies. It would be great if you were in the womb of another sister. Then I can fight with your father."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

A'Zhu remembered something at this time, and she said to Zhao Mu: "By the way, sir. I have something to tell you."

Zhao Mu looked at A'Zhu and asked, "What's wrong? But what happened?"
