The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Jun Muchen's former personal guard habitually adjusted his mentality and quickly adapted to the content of the conversation between the two women in front of him. Next to him was a girl that Jun Yuexin brought out from the orphanage this time.

The girl was not very old, only eleven or twelve years old. She had no disabilities or diseases. She was abandoned by her parents outside the orphanage when she was born. She originally helped sweep the floor in the nursing home to earn some pocket money and learned a skill to make a living from the elderly there. Later, Xie Yuzhen mastered the skill, and when Jun Yuexin went to the orphanage to select a girl with talent and stability, she picked her.

The girl didn't know her parents or her surname, so she took the surname of an old man in the nursing home and was named Hua Changchun.

This time, Hua Changchun followed Jun Yuexin to the southwestern counties. It was the first time for her to travel far away. Although she was young, she had a good physique and was able to endure hardships. With the blessing of half of the exercises, she not only followed Jun Yuexin to the southwest smoothly, but also had enough energy to follow Jun Yuexin into the mountains to talk to the mountain people.

The new site of Yuewu County was built at the foot of the mountain, but most of the mountain people still lived on the mountain. If there was something that needed to be discussed together in the several vassal counties, they would make an appointment to come to the old village together.

This is exactly where Zhu Queyin wanted to take Jun Yuexin and others.

"What is a lover?" Hua Changchun was much more lively in front of Jun Yuexin than the male guard. "Is it the kind of lover written in the storybooks?"

Zhuqueyin covered her mouth and laughed twice: "It should be about the same. Anyway, it's a man who can be happy with you, but we won't live together forever."

The straightforward and unrestrained words made the young male guard's ears turn red.

"Sister, you are still young. In four or five years, you will know what a lover is." Zhu Queyin smiled at Hua Changchun, turned around and continued talking with Jun Yuexin while walking.

"I thought the person you brought with you was your lover, but it turns out I was wrong."

A suppressed cough was heard from behind the two men.

Jun Yuexin shook her head and said, "He is my personal guard, a man my brother sent to help me. I have never been interested in men since I was a child, and I think it is better to live alone when I grow up."

There was a sound of choking on saliva coming from the male guard's throat.

"Well, that's good too. With more men, there will indeed be more troubles, especially the Han men. Many of them think that if a woman from our tribe sleeps with him, they have to sleep with him forever. It's so unreasonable. My mother and the Han lover she found later were the same. They insisted that my brother was his family."

Zhuqueyin rolled her eyes, "If he wants me, just take me away. A descendant who doesn't acknowledge his mother is no longer a relative of our family. That's fine, but what's even worse is that he actually wants to take a person who doesn't acknowledge his mother to take my place. But the original governor in the prefecture still acknowledges him. If I didn't have another way to find a solution, then even if I offended the governor in the prefecture, I would have to kill him with my own hands!"

"Oh?" Jun Yuexin thought for a moment, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, luckily I have a friend who can help me." Zhuqueyin smiled and didn't say anything else. Instead, he pointed the machete forward and said, "Look, we're almost there."

Hidden among the mountains and forests, a simple small town with a strong ethnic flavor appeared before everyone.

Zhuqueyin looked towards the door and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Today is not a market day. Why are there so many people? It seems there are some Han people as well."

"Looks like he's here to cause trouble. Let's go down and see if we can help." Jun Yuexin said with a frown. She naturally put herself in the same position as Zhu Queyin.

The latter did not notice the change in her words, and only felt that this person was indeed someone he could get along with: "Okay, the road here is a bit slippery, be careful."

When the group reached the door, they saw that the members of the Youth Promotion Association were indeed some Han-looking people, arguing with a few women dressed as mountain people.

"Why is it her again? Hasn't she come to make trouble in a few years?" Zhuqueyin's tone was full of helplessness.

Jun Yuexin saw that she seemed to be about to rush forward, so she quickly stopped her and said, "First tell me what conflict these people have with our village. I am an official after all, so I may be able to help."

Zhu Queyin had no doubts and thought that it was a middle-aged woman leading the mountain people, who was also a good mountain runner. She was not from the Yuewu tribe, but from another mountain ethnic group that had long since naturalized into Dasheng. Many years ago, when foreign tribes invaded the border, her group of mountain people also followed them to the battlefield because they were familiar with fighting in the mountains.

"......The aunt's name was Yan Yunyi. During the war, she met a Han general. After the war, the general said he wanted to marry her as a concubine. The aunt didn't know what a concubine was. Her husband died early and she had no children, so she wanted to find a lover to have children. She thought that having a concubine was a Han custom, and because the Han people had too many rules, she didn't agree."

"As a result, the general was left to garrison in the Han county town after the war. It turned out that he already had a wife at home, and that was the woman." Zhuqueyin pointed with his machete at a woman who looked like a noble lady in the crowd.

She didn't say a word, but let Yan Yunyi quarrel with her servants.

"I don't know why, this woman didn't stay at home to discipline her husband, but instead came to our county and scolded my aunt. After scolding her, she said that my aunt's desire to become the general's concubine was wishful thinking, and if she wanted to marry him, she could only be a concubine or something..."

Zhu Queyin explained the conflict between them in a few words, but Jun Yuexin just felt that the conflicts between men and women in this world were all the same and there was nothing new about them.

The general wanted to marry Yan Yunyi, a girl from the mountains, as his second wife, but his wife and Yan Yunyi refused. After a big fight, they finally stopped talking to each other with the mediation of Zhu Queyin's mother.

This time, the southwestern counties were going to recruit mountain people as soldiers. Yan Yunyi was considered a veteran, so he was naturally among them. After going to the provincial capital to receive orders, he somehow met the general again.

Of course, they only met once and didn't say a few words. Yan Yunyi returned to the village to make preparations. But not long after, the general's wife brought people to kill him.

Jun Yuexin sorted out the information based on Zhuqueyin and the mountain people's words, and had an idea of ​​who this general was.

As they walked forward, they could just hear one of the lady's maids yelling, "...My lady is much better at martial arts and strategy than you are. If she were to go to the battlefield, she would definitely get more military merits than you. How dare you use the war as an excuse every day? You are actually just trying to seduce my general!"

Hearing this, Jun Yuexin could not help but stand up. She was dressed in the clothes of a mountain people, but her skin color and appearance were that of a Han Chinese. She was tall, and standing between the two groups of people, she was very conspicuous.

The maid who was cursing felt as if a shadow was looming over her, and she couldn't help but stop talking.

When Jun Yuexin saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her uninvited guest, she bowed to the noblewoman standing among the servants and asked in a very frivolous and sarcastic tone, "Since your wife is better than this aunt in both martial arts and strategy, I have to ask, when this aunt was fighting for her country and her family, what was your wife doing?"
