Huangxiu

Chapter 806 Fight for
Chu Zhiyuan took the imperial edict and said with a smile, "Empress Huang, how about you come into the palace to rest for a while and moisten your throat?"

The purple-robed eunuch Huang Jin laughed and clasped his fists, looking apologetic: "My Lord, I must return immediately to report. I cannot delay. I will trouble you again another day."

"In that case, then we won't delay Envoy Huang, Xiao Zheng." Chu Zhiyuan said.

The status of the prince consort in the Phoenix Dynasty is not high.

They are usually granted the title of Fuma Duwei, a nominal position with no real power.

Even though he was the ninth prince of the Yujing Dynasty, when he entered the Fenghuang Dynasty, he became a royal consort and was given the title of Royal Consort Commandant, and the Fenghuang Emperor did not make an exception.

The imperial concubine's son-in-law had no power, no position, and no influence, while the princess had a fief and subordinate officials.

This is destined to lead to a gap in the strength of the two.

Eunuchs are a group of people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Huang Jin, as the chief eunuch of the inner palace, can always smile at him without showing any contempt, which shows that he is very good at dealing with people.

Fu Zheng stepped forward and stuffed a silver note into his hand.

Huang Jin did not refuse and accepted it with a smile. He clasped his fists and bowed, then left with two red-robed eunuchs.

Chu Zhiyuan watched their backs gradually disappear, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Fu Zheng said cautiously: "Your Highness, this was expected before, right?"

"Yeah, as expected." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The Phoenix Dynasty did not take the Jade View Dynasty seriously, so of course they would not make an exception.

Besides, in the eyes of the Phoenix Emperor, he is just a hostage. Why should he get power?
Fu Zheng said: "Then let's go back..."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Close the door and refuse visitors. Just practice diligently."

"This is also pretty good." Fu Zheng said hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay."

My goal has always been to practice, whether it is my body or my subject.

As I practiced here, my realm of the subject also improved by leaps and bounds.

The threshold of ascension has already been faintly touched.

It’s a pity that I can’t enter the battlefield outside the domain, but for me, the demons and monsters are my greatest resources for cultivation.

Since I can't go to the battlefield outside the domain, I can let them come to me and deliver themselves to my door.

So we have to find ways to drive them crazy and make them impatient.

That is the bloodline of the Phoenix.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the Prince Consort's Mansion, and saw Li Miaotan sitting cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom.

Li Miaotan was wearing a snow-white middle garment and sitting cross-legged. He looked as solemn and dignified as the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, with a layer of bright and precious light flowing on his jade face.

When he appeared outside the bedroom, Li Yuzhen and Li Yuchun were waiting outside the house.

The two women greeted each other.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "Have someone serve the food and prepare for breakfast."

At this time, Li Miaotan's voice came from inside the room: "Husband."

Chu Zhiyuan pushed the door open and entered the house.

Li Miaotan sat cross-legged on the couch, opened his eyes, his gaze was clear and shining, and he looked energetic.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Have you activated the Phoenix bloodline?"

The two of them combined last night, allowing his Tianlongyin to advance by leaps and bounds.

One foot has already stepped into the fifth transformation.

He believed that he would be able to enter the fifth transformation in one more night.

He speculated that it was because of the Phoenix bloodline.

Tianlongyin can stimulate the Phoenix bloodline, and the Phoenix bloodline can also stimulate Tianlongyin.

"It's still a little short." Li Miaotan shook his head gently: "The bloodline has just awakened."

She then said, "Father, he..."

"Captain Prince Consort."

"It seems that the emperor does not want to make an exception... But the emperor has always acted fairly and clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. I will report this to the emperor and ask for the official position. You have made great contributions and cannot be denied."

"The emperor would rather give me some treasures than an official position." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Don't say more, lest the emperor thinks you are being disloyal and will be even more unhappy."

"Then let third brother take it." Li Miaotan said.

It is indeed not appropriate for me to say it myself, but Third Brother can say that if the Prince Consort has a higher position of power, it will also be beneficial to Third Brother.

The fact that the son-in-law does not hold a high position of power is his own weakness, and also becomes the third brother's weakness.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's good to give it a try."

He didn't persuade her much, Li Miaotan was a man of his own ideas, and it would be useless for him to say more. Li Yuzhen said loudly: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, breakfast is ready."

-

Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan walked hand in hand, left the Prince Consort's Mansion, and appeared in Wenhua Building.

In a private room of Wenhua Building, when Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan appeared, there was already a middle-aged man in the private room.

The middle-aged man was concentrating on wiping his sword. He wiped the shiny sword blade gently with the snow handkerchief, just like caressing the face of his lover, gentle and delicate.

Next to the middle-aged man stood a middle-aged eunuch in a green robe.

He has a fair face and no beard, and is elegant and graceful. He looks like a scholar and it is hard to associate him with a eunuch.

"Third brother." Li Miaotan nodded slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said, "Third brother."

The middle-aged man in front of him was Li Cunhou, the third prince of the Phoenix Dynasty.

He raised his head, his face slightly round and smiling, looking very gentle and amiable.

He carefully sheathed his sword, stood up and said with a smile, "Little sister, brother-in-law, please sit down quickly."

"Got a good sword?" Li Miaotan asked, "What sword?"

"Ice Soul Divine Sword, Yaohui just got it."

"Ming Hou presented it? ... I don't think it has any Ice Soul meaning?"

Li Cunhou said happily: "This Ice Soul Divine Sword has its energy contained within and does not leak out. Only when the true essence is activated can it emit a bone-chilling chill."

"Is it a good sword?"

"Peerless divine sword!"

"Congratulations, Third Brother." Li Miaotan hummed, "This morning, my father issued an edict to confer upon my husband the honorary title of Imperial Consort."

"...The duke of the imperial consort, it seems that all dukes of the imperial consort are called this."

Li Cunhou was a little nonchalant and didn't care.

It was impossible for Chu Zhiyuan to get any real official position.

In this regard, his noble status as the ninth prince of the Yujing Dynasty made him inferior to ordinary princes-in-law.

Li Miaotan snorted, "Father is unfair!"

"Why is it unfair? All the princes-in-law are just nominal officials, right?"

"How can they compare with my husband?" Li Miaotan sneered, "Can they lead people to wipe out more than a hundred demon masters in one day?"

"Well..."

"If Lord Ming does this, how will the emperor reward him?" Li Miaotan snorted, "Promote him one level higher?"

"...Almost." Li Cunhou nodded helplessly.

"Just because he is my consort, I cannot reward him?" Li Miaotan snorted, "Are you afraid that your power will expand, Third Brother?"

Li Cunhou was startled and said hurriedly: "That's not the case. Is it because of my brother-in-law's background?"

"Doesn't the emperor have the energy to swallow up the four seas and eight wastelands? Why can't he tolerate the prince of Yujing?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Li Cunhou hesitated: "The court will probably be in an uproar. They will never allow it."

"Those who have made contributions must be rewarded. This is the iron rule that Father has always followed. Is Father going to violate this rule?"

"..."

"Third brother, you watched your husband suffer injustice?"

"Alas..." Li Cunhou said helplessly: "What do you want me to do?"

"Of course I will write to the Emperor and ask him to reward me."

"No matter how much reward you give, I won't give my brother-in-law a real official position." Li Cunhou looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Brother-in-law, there is nothing we can do about it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I actually wish I could stay indoors and practice martial arts in peace."

"Yes, yes, this is the most wonderful thing in the world!" Li Cunhou immediately clapped his hands and agreed deeply: "It is so comfortable to practice martial arts quietly at home!"

"Third Brother!"

"Okay, okay, I'll write to the emperor right away, okay?"

Li Miaotan smiled.

"Little sister, you..." Li Cunhou shook his head and looked at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise.

The arrogant and contemptuous little sister has become like this.

The Ninth Prince is quite powerful.
