Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 716 Qi Emperor (2)
"Okay!" Xiao Qingyu nodded, gestured towards the void, and the slight sound of breaking wind quickly went away.

Xiao Qingyu embraced Mu Yutang, and slowly walked towards the rosewood carriage not far away: "It's still early, let's go back to the house first, wash and change clothes, and then go to the palace for the banquet!"

The Dust Cleaning Banquet was still held in the Nine Nights Palace. Just as Mu Yutang and Xiao Qingyu sat down, the eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice sounded again: "The Marquis of Huainan is here!"

Mu Yutang looked sideways, and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s walking in. He had sharp eyebrows, piercing eyes, and a black beard on his lips. He looked extremely serious!

He is Qinzheng, Marquis of Huainan!

"Father!" A clear call sounded, and a young man walked into the Nine Nights Palace. With his handsome face and haughty eyes, Mu Yutang narrowed his eyes fiercely. He turned out to be Qin Dong, the eldest son of Huainan Marquis Qinzheng. Enemy Road is narrow.

Xiao Qingyu followed her ever-changing eyes to see Qin Dong, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you know him?"

"I met him on the street just now!" Mu Yutang said lightly, Qin Dong teased her, she had already taught Qin Dong a lesson, and there was no need to report such trivial matters to Qing Yu.

Xiao Qingyu glanced at the corners of Qin Dong's bruised mouth after smearing the medicine, and there was a hint of meaning in his pupils: They were more than just meeting each other!
"The emperor is here, the imperial concubine is here, and the concubine Lan is here!" The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice sounded, and the emperor, Jiang Guifei, and Du Ruolan walked slowly into the Jiuxiao Hall!

The civil and military officials and their family members knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor, long live, long live, imperial concubine and empress, and empress and concubine Lan, a thousand years old!"

The emperor sat on the brocade jade couch, looked around at the kneeling ministers, and said in a majestic voice, "Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the officials stood up and sat down gracefully.

The emperor's eyes fell on Qin Zheng: "Qin Aiqing has guarded the frontier for five years and has worked hard. When I return to Beijing today, I will host a banquet to welcome him. All the ministers don't need to be formal."

"Yes!" All the ministers responded, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, they walked towards the Marquis of Huainan in twos and threes: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Huaiyang for returning to Beijing!"

"Same joy, same joy!" Huainan Hou's bold smile revealed a bit of arrogance.

"Master Hou returned to Beijing this time, so he won't go back to the frontier!" The minister asked with a smile.

The Marquis of Huainan chuckled: "Thanks to the great blessing of the emperor, the frontier has been handed over to the infantry generals to guard, and the last general can stay in Beijing to serve!"

"That's really a happy event, congratulations!"

Looking at Qin Zheng surrounded by everyone, Mu Yutang's eyes were full of meaning: "Qin Zheng's popularity is pretty good."

Xiao Qingyu glanced at Qin Zheng, and said calmly: "The current patriarch of the Qin family is Qin Zheng. He is smooth and has many connections in the court. The status in the hearts of the officials is only going up, not down."

"I understand!" As a courtier, official position is important, and power is also important. People of the same rank, officials with power in their hands are more respected than those without power.

"This is another man?" The sharp-eyed minister saw Qin Dong not far away, and was amazed at his similar eyebrows and eyes as Qin Zheng.

"It's the dog Qin Dong, a little major general in the army." Qin Zheng said with a smile, his eyes flashing with unconcealable pride.

"The Marquis of Huainan is too modest. Your son is only twenty years old, and he is already a major general in the army. He is really young and promising." Prime Minister Bai looked at Qin Dong with admiration.

"Prime Minister Bai congratulates you." Qin Zheng smiled and looked at Qin Dong: "A Dong, come to meet all the adults!"

"Yes!" Qin Dong stepped forward and greeted the Prime Minister, Minister, Taiwei, and Taifu with a smile, with a gentle attitude and polite manners, he was completely different from that lewd and rascal him.

Mu Yutang raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, is Qin Dong a major general?This is unlikely, when she beat him hard, he didn't have half the strength to fight back, obviously he didn't have any martial arts, internal strength, and Su Yixuan and Chen Mingyuan, two major generals in the capital with high martial arts skills, were far behind by a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Du Ruolan was sitting in front of the brocade jade platform, her sharp eyes were on Mu Yutang, Qin Dong turned back and forth, a sternness flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Why, I don't know if there is a marriage?"

Qin Zheng clasped his fists in both hands, and said with a smile: "Go back to your mother, there are many things in the frontier, and the old minister has not yet found time to marry the dog!"

Du Ruolan raised her brows and was about to speak when the emperor spoke first: "Qin Dong has been guarding the frontier with the Marquis of Huainan for three years and has made countless military exploits. He is a rare and powerful major general. There must be many famous daughters in the capital who are willing to marry. Don't worry. Even if you have to worry about his marriage, you should also worry about Marquis Huainan!"

"Worried about Marquis Huainan? What's your majesty's intention?" Du Ruolan frowned slightly, her dark pupils were ignorant.

Seeing the rare smile appearing in the emperor's sharp eyes, he patiently explained: "Mrs. Qin died young, the Marquis of Huainan suffered a lot in the frontier, and when he returned to the capital, he didn't have a caring person to take care of him. Isn't he better than Qin? Young Master need to worry more?"

"In that case, why doesn't the emperor give the Marquis of Huainan some beauties and let them take care of the Marquis of Huainan?" Du Ruolan covered her face with a round fan, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and her shy look that was about to say something seemed like she was joking.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly: "That's a good idea, I will give the Marquis of Huainan a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, and ten beauties!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Zheng knelt down and saluted, a hint of puzzlement flashed in his shrewd eyes: courtiers basically rewarded gold, satin, calligraphy and painting, antiques for their meritorious service, and this was the first time ever to appreciate beauties!
Mu Yutang lowered her eyelids lightly, and there was a look of solemnity in her eyes. Du Ruolan is a concubine in the harem, and she has never been interested in court affairs. Why did she suddenly care about Huainanhou's family affairs?She is not pregnant and has no heirs. It is useless to win over the courtiers. Even if she needs the help of King Huainan, she can just ask Prime Minister Bai to consult with King Huainan. ...

"Your Majesty, Prince Qi's concubine is pregnant, and Prince Qi's son has no one to take care of him for the time being. Why don't you give him some beauties!" The soft and beautiful voice came to her ears, and Mu Yutang suddenly raised her head to look at Du Ruolan with cold eyes. There was a little bit of cold light in his pupils, as expected, Du Ruolan cared about Qin Dong, Qin Zheng's marriage was fake, and it was true that he wanted to plot against her and disturb her peace.

Du Ruolan didn't show any weakness, she met her gaze and looked over with a deep coldness in her pupils, Mu Yutang caused her to marry an old man who could be her father, she would never let Mu Yutang feel better , The love between husband and wife is like glue, and each other will become a thing of the past. From today on, she wants Mu Yutang to be like her, who loses the love of her beloved and lives in sadness and pain every day.

All the ministers glanced at each other, and looked at Xiao Qingyu one after another. Shizi Xiao and Concubine Shizi have been married for more than half a year. It is not good to give him a beauty, but Concubine Shizi is pregnant and can no longer take care of Shizi Xiao. Not too much!
