Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Seeing that Xie Yunci's face was already somewhat unhappy, Saihan bowed and retreated. This was enough. She had a tribe behind her and could not be too willful. This was already the limit.

Bai Shuran stared blankly at Shen Li and Pei Yu walking forward side by side, feeling empty in his heart. He looked at Shen Li with a gaze that seemed to want to stare a hole in her.

This is a commoner girl. What kind of ability does she have to make Pei Yu fall in love with her?

Bai Shuran looked at his father beside him, knowing very well what would become of his reputation after tonight.

"Father, I beg you for something."

Father Bai had a somewhat unhappy look on his face, but he loved his second daughter since she was a child, and Mrs. Bai beside him had a distressed look on her face, so he nodded.

"You said."

Bai Shuran curled her lips slightly, "My daughter was reckless tonight and brought shame to my father. I also know that my reputation will be ruined, so I want to be the concubine of King Jingnan."

"you……"

Father Bai was very angry when he heard this. How could his legitimate daughter be a concubine?

Bai Shuran had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Father, if this is the case, the reputation of the Bai Mansion can still be saved a little, can my daughter still find such a good marriage in the future?"

"But you!"

"Father, now that we have come to this place and are in front of everyone, can a commoner like me still stop the King of Jingnan from having a concubine?"

"That's jealousy. What kind of image will she have in everyone's mind? She will agree to it."

After listening to it, he nodded thoughtfully. He felt that his second daughter's analysis made sense. She was just a commoner girl and knew nothing.

If his daughter could become a concubine, then she would have the final say in entering the palace in the future. This way, she could make up for the reluctance of becoming a concubine.

"I, as a father, would never do such a thing, Shu Ran. You have to do this alone. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Bai Shuran's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "My daughter understands."

Seeing that no one was interrupting him, Xie Yunci said, "Today is my birthday, and the army has returned to the capital. Prince Jingnan has made great contributions in quelling the war this time, and his lifelong affairs have always been something I am concerned about. Tomorrow, I will grant Prince Jingnan a marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers below said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Anyway, as long as they are happy at night, they can say anything.

Bai Shuran ran out, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I also like the prince. I know I can't become the Princess of Jingnan, but I am willing to be a concubine. I hope your Majesty will agree to this."

Xie Yunci was somewhat tempted, and looked at the imperial concubine beside him. Seeing that she frowned slightly and stared blankly at the bottom, he gave up the idea.

"Prince Jingnan, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to be your concubine."

Princess Saihan hurriedly ran out from the banquet, the veil on her face had been taken off, revealing her deep and three-dimensional facial features, especially her eyes, which were deep and bright, and it was easy to be attracted by her eyes.

With her three-dimensional facial features, hot body and straightforward personality, many men present changed their views of her.

Xie Yunci looked at Pei Yu, his eyes full of smiles, "What do you think, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Yu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will disappoint the two girls. I have promised Ah Li that I will only have her in my life and will never take a concubine."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became noisy, as if a pot of boiling water had been poured in it.

Especially the ladies and young ladies all couldn't believe it, and they looked at Shen Li with particularly fiery eyes, wanting to see what charm she had that was worthy of such a promise from a prince.

The men in the hall looked at Pei Yu in disbelief. It was fine to say this in private, but now that he was saying it in front of the emperor, there would really be only one person left. Otherwise, it would be deceiving the emperor.

Imperial Concubine Bai Shuyi was also very surprised. She didn't expect that the Prince of Jingnan, who was so rebellious in his youth, would be so affectionate now.

Xie Yunci sat up slightly, "Pei Aiqing, do you know what you are talking about?"

Pei Yu: "I know, and I hope the emperor will grant my wish."

His action was not entirely reckless. As a prince, it was inevitable that he would be forced to have concubines and singing girls sometimes. It was easy to refuse other concubines, but it was difficult to refuse the one given by the emperor.

Therefore, he was also cutting off the escape route for the emperor and other members of the royal family so that he would not have any worries.

Xie Yunci pondered for a few breaths, then said with a smile: "Since you are so affectionate, I cannot let you break your promise to Miss Shen."

"Miss Bai Er, Princess Saihan, you have seen that Pei Aiqing already has a fiancée, and I have also helped him. Okay, you can leave now."

Princess Saihan knew there was no hope, so she retreated decisively. Bai Shuran looked distraught, and she turned sideways and stared blankly at the two people beside her.

I already have someone I love, and she is the only one in my life!

I don't even give myself this little hope, haha!

Noticing that many eyes were on her, she took a deep breath. Even though she had made so many jokes, she had to continue walking with dignity.

"Shen Li."

"The folk girl is here."

Xie Yunci looked into the hall, "Where is Lu Jing, the richest man in Jiangnan?"

"The grass people are here."

Lu Jing's voice came from the back of the hall. Because he was a businessman, he could only sit at the back.

After a while, he walked to the front of the hall and stood behind Shen Li and Pei Yu.

"I, Lu Jing, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"rise."

Xie Yunci stood up and took a few steps forward, revealing his figure in front of all the officials.

"Shen Li, Lu Jing, the maps you two contributed are of great benefit to Northern Yan. I will grant you any reward you want."

Shen Li: "Your Majesty, I have no other requests."

Lu Jing: "Your Majesty, I, a commoner, have no requests. I only wish that Northern Yan prospers and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"it is good."

Hearing them both say this, regardless of whether it was true or not, Xie Yunci was very happy.

"You are rich, so I have to reward you less, otherwise I will disappoint the meritorious officials."

"This achievement is due to you two, so Shen Li will be named the Princess of Hui'an County, and awarded a Princess's Mansion, five hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, and six pieces of palace silk..."

"Huian thanks the emperor very much. Long live the emperor."

"Please don't be so polite, Princess Hui'an. Please stand up."

Xie Yunci looked at Lu Jing again, "Lu Jing, I will make you the Imperial Merchant."

Just this one sentence made Lu Jing's wish come true. He wanted to climb up, but the highest position for a businessman was the imperial merchant. But it was not easy to be an imperial merchant, he needed to have a background. Now, he did it.

"I bow to thank the emperor."

"Well, everyone, please leave. Pei Aiqing, the imperial decree granting your marriage to Princess Hui'an will be delivered to your residence tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am not in a hurry. Your Majesty always keeps his word. Once you have agreed, you will not go back on your word."

Xie Yunci: If he hadn’t said the last sentence, he would have really believed it. He really believed his lies.
