Mingzi had been getting along so well with the people there these days, and they were almost close friends who could talk about anything. When he heard this, he immediately said he knew them and described in detail the current situation of Mrs. Hu's family. If Mao Li hadn't kicked him, he would have revealed Qin Qiong's true identity.

Qin Qiong took over and continued to say that there was an old man named Qin in the town, and he was doing well. If Brother Ye had anything to say, they could help take it over. The bearded man laughed and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter and give it to her when we part."

That night, they ate and chatted around two fires. A man next to Hu Zi who had been silent all the time suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Qin Qiong.

"I heard that the trade route to Anning State is open again. It was opened by someone from the Anmin League. You are from that town. Do you know the Anmin League?"

Qin Qiong thought that the other party would ask her about the Anmin League, but she didn't expect that the other party would ask so directly, so she had to continue talking.

"The trade route has existed for a long time, but it was occupied by a merchant in the town. However, it has been taken over by King An Ning, and now everyone can travel."

The man wanted to ask more, but someone next to him burst out laughing, and everyone looked at him again.

He said hurriedly: "No, I just thought of the marriages of Prince An Ning, and I wanted to laugh when I thought about it, haha..."

When he said this, everyone burst into laughter.

Mao Li was afraid that Mingzi would talk nonsense again, so he ran to sit with him. Therefore, Qin Qiong was the only one sitting by the fire. Hu Zi and the others laughed even more happily when they saw her confused look. In the end, it was the person who first brought up the matter who explained it to her.

"I know you are from An Ning State. The King of An Ning is a good man, and the local governance is also good. Really, your An Ning State is good."

"I'm laughing because... you know that your An Ning State is going to have a fraternity with the Tuo Yue State?"

"I know. I heard about it when I came here. What's wrong? Isn't that princess pretty?"

"No, who knows whether she is pretty or not, we are just laughing at the way Prince An Ning chose to marry a wife, haha..."

"……What's the meaning?"

"The An Ning clan doesn't like to fight wars. When something happens, they form alliances through marriage. It started with the great An Ning king, and all the kings are like this. That's why we say that King An Ning handles all the wars by himself. It's okay if it happens once or twice, but their family is different. It's the third generation now, and they still use this method, and it works every time. Tell me if you want to save your life or not, haha..."

Qin Qiong was a little confused about what to say next, and he knew that what was going to happen was a dirty joke.

"You don't understand this. This is also a skill. I let you put so many women in your room, and let them not fight, but all listen to you. Try it..."

Another said with a smile.

"Why put so many? Just put one for me. But that has to be someone I like. You see, Prince An Ning doesn't care whether the person is ugly or beautiful, good or bad. As long as he is useful, he will bring her into the house. You see, he is not afraid of that princess. What if she is a 'melon seed'? What shall I do then? Haha..."

The first person who mentioned it clapped his hands and laughed at the person next to him.

"I have just been in An Ning Bang for a short time, and I really didn't know that King An Ning would have such a trick."

Qin Qiong thought it would be better to change the subject, so he changed the topic.

"How could it be that it started with the last prince?"

At this time, Hu Zi spoke. He smiled and told Qin Qiong the story of An Ning Palace, as if he was chatting with a friend.

"Well, it's a long story. An Ning Bang was a king of a different surname appointed by the old Ming Emperor. At the beginning, that place was not good. The people were poor and the army was weak. In addition, there were strong clan forces in the area and they didn't obey the rules at all. I heard that they were almost swallowed up by others several times."

"However, the old prince was smart and knew that fighting alone would not work, so he used marriage to form alliances. He first let his son marry the daughter of the largest local clan as his queen, and then he formed marriages with several small kings who were originally in dispute. What was the method? Half and half. In short, he managed to stabilize the country of An Ning."

"It's a pity for his son. I heard that the prince had a lover... but there was nothing he could do. So after he inherited the title, he was always depressed and passed away within a few years."

"Then what about his sweetheart? I think the palace can have many wives. Could it be that his sweetheart is unwilling to share a husband with others?"

Qin Qiong suddenly thought of something.

Hu Zi turned his head, looked at her and smiled.

"That's not the case. It's the princess who was married later who couldn't tolerate her, because she was the real wife. In fact, the old prince had two sons, and it was agreed that the one who was willing to make sacrifices for the country would inherit the throne. The later prince refused to divorce his wife, and the wife of the King of Anning saw that her husband wanted the throne, so she took the initiative to propose a divorce and went home."

"What happened next?" Qin Qiong asked.

"I don't know. It happened many years ago. The Ming Dynasty was in chaos at that time. Everyone was looking after themselves and had no time to care about other people's affairs. If the new King An Ning had not married wives one by one in this way, people would have long forgotten the wife who sacrificed herself for her husband. It's pitiful to think about it."

“…That may not be the case.”

Qin Qiong said softly: "If it was her own choice, then she got what she wanted, there is nothing to complain about."

"Really? You really think so?"

Hu Zi looked at her with a smile.

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment and she didn't say anything else because she didn't know what to say.

"That's right. You can't guess what this woman is thinking. If an ordinary family has three wives and four concubines, they will definitely be in chaos. But this prince has so many women at home. I heard there are six of them. All of them are of extraordinary status. But so many women don't fight and they are all very obedient. Do you think this Prince An Ning is capable or not?"

The person who first said this continued.

"I'm seven now. I'm going to marry a princess soon."

Hu Zi took over the man's words, but his eyes glanced at Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong knew he shouldn't say any more, but he couldn't suppress the urge to slap himself twice.

"Almost eight..."

She said it anyway.

"What?" Hu Zi turned around and asked her seriously.

"Nothing. There was a fool who thought he was a fairy. He rushed to the man's house and delivered himself to the man's house. But when he got there, he found that the man had a lot of wives. So he ran away in shame. Don't you think it's funny? Haha..."

Qin Qiong simply laughed.

"No way..."

"Really, there was a fool who thought the prince would marry her, so she went to the palace. When she saw a bunch of young and beautiful women in the palace, she was scared and ran away. When she came out, she found out that the prince had gone to propose marriage and ignored her. Tell me, is it funny or not?"

When the six people sitting around heard this, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"This is also a skill, don't you think? Haha..."

The first person to speak said.

"You see, this woman is so unlucky. She could have gone earlier or later, but she had to go at this time when the other party was getting married. Isn't this just causing trouble?"

The person next to him also said.
