Wang Jingzhi and Chai Lingwu, who were standing nearby, also strode over, their faces full of anticipation.

Both of them were Princess Shang's consorts, and not to mention taking concubines, they didn't even live with the princess's wife.

Moreover, if they want to have sex with their wives, they must get their wives' call. Their lives are more difficult than anyone else's.

If they could choose again, they really wouldn't want to be a prince consort.

There is no freedom!

Like Xiao Kai, he now has 10 wives and concubines, and his life is better than that of a god.

Du He glanced at the three of them, then smiled and whispered.

"I do have a trick."

The three of them took a small step forward and asked in unison.

"What trick?"

The expressions on the three people's faces were more serious than ever.

This concerns their happy life for the rest of their lives, so it can't just be talked about.

Only the person involved can understand how hard the life of a prince consort is.

Du He looked around and found that there were no other officials around, so he whispered some advice.

"Now that the matter is settled, get the woman you like pregnant, and then confess to your respective wives."

"This move is risky. You must be cautious when using it."

this...

Is it true that you won’t be killed by using this trick?

For example, several of the women Chai Lingwu kept outside had already given birth to his children.

Is it really possible to take them back now?

Thinking of this, Chai Lingwu bowed to Du He, then said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Du, I'm grateful for your advice!"

"After the matter is completed, there will be generous gifts!"

Fang Yiai's big eyes were rolling around. Although Du Heti's method was risky, it was an effective one.

Before he goes to war, he must show more favor to Gunali!

Wang Jingzhi was a rather timid person, and Princess Nanping was a fierce woman with a strong desire for control, so he didn't dare to use this trick.

Now his son with Princess Nanping is only a few months old. If he acts recklessly at this time, he will probably end up dying a miserable death.

Forget it.

It’s important to save your life.

Although Wang Jingzhi envied Du Hena's two concubines, he did not dare to challenge his wife's authority.

Just then, a loud shout came from the direction of the gate.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

When everyone heard that the prince would come, they all showed surprise on their faces.

After all, the crown prince is now the regent, and his status is that of a temporary emperor.

"Du He still has more face!"

"It's just about taking a concubine, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to show his support."

The guests were surprised for a moment, then walked to the front yard and bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and spoke loudly.

"You don't have to be polite."

After some formalities, Du He brought Li Chengqian and Su Wan into the lobby and arranged them to sit at the main table.

When the other guests saw the more than ten carts of valuable gifts that the prince brought, their faces were filled with envy.

So much silver, at least several thousand strings of cash, right?

Many people did not know how high Du He's status was in the prince's heart before. After seeing so much silver, they finally had a clear idea.

During the banquet.

Li Chengqian whispered to Du He, "Du He, the ministers have agreed to our proposal. Tomorrow, you will go to Cuiwei Palace to see your father, bringing my imperial edict!"

"As long as the emperor agrees with our plan, I will go to meet the envoys from Western Turkic on horseback."

At first, Chu Suiliang and Yu Zhining were strongly opposed, but after he imitated Du He's tone and criticized them, they both became obedient in an instant.

With the support of Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling and others, the plan was naturally passed without any major problems.

Du He took the handwritten note from Li Chengqian and nodded.

"it is good!"

...

An hour later.

The banquet is over.

At the suggestion of Li Chengqian, Du He was made drunk by Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Cui Shenji, Fang Yiai and others.

The guests did not stay long and left under the escort of the attendants.

The bustling princess mansion suddenly became quiet.

In the lobby.

Li Yi, Yin Yushan and Linglong were sitting inside. None of them spoke at the moment, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

A moment of silence.

Yin Yushan took the initiative to pick up a cup of tea, then walked to Li Yi, handed it to him with both hands and said.

"Your Highness, I have no parents, and my brother has fled to Japan. I hope you will bear with me from now on."

Li Yi's expression changed slightly.

Li Yi has very complicated feelings towards Yin Yushan.

The Li royal family and the Yin family are full of hatred for each other, but they also have a marriage relationship.

Concubine Yin still lives in the palace now!

A few breaths have passed.

Li Yi did not make things difficult for Yin Yushan. Instead, he took the tea with both hands and spoke to her with a smile and a gentle voice.

"We are all sisters, no need to be so polite."

"You don't have to call me Princess anymore. Just call me sister."

After saying this, Li Yi took a small sip of tea.

When Yin Yushan saw that Princess Chengyang's attitude had softened, a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face.

She called out sweetly, "Sister."

Then Yin Yushan poured another cup of tea and handed it to Linglong.

"Sister Linglong, have some tea."

Linglong's background was far inferior to Yin Yushan's. After taking the tea, she quickly stood up and waved her hand at Yin Yushan.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Linglong from now on."

No matter how poor Yin Yushan was, she still had an aunt who was a concubine in the palace.

Although Linglong is Du He's concubine, her essential identity is still the princess's maidservant.

After Yin Yushan took the initiative to offer tea, the relationship between the three of them became much more relaxed.

Li Yi stood up and said, "Sister Yushan, let's go to the backyard."

"I've already ordered someone to clean up your room. You should get some rest early since you're pregnant."

"Thank you, sister." Yin Yushan said with a sweet smile.

Du He had no idea what happened to the three women as he was sleeping soundly.

The next day.

noon.

After waking up, Du He did not go to court. After having meal with his wife and children, he rushed to Cuiwei Palace in Zhongnan Mountain under the escort of guards.

Less than two hours.

Du He met Li Shimin in Cuiwei Palace and presented him with Li Chengqian's handwritten letter.

When Li Shimin heard the news of the marriage to the Western Turks and Li Chengqian's response.

He said with satisfaction: "Du He, take my handwritten letter back and tell the Crown Prince that his handling of the matter was excellent!"

"promise!"

Du He bowed in response.

Then Du He reported the alcohol incident to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Du He to finish his work first and then bring the alcohol to introduce it later.

Half an hour later.

Du He rode his horse again and rushed back to the palace.

...

in the afternoon.

An impromptu meeting of all officials was held in the Taiji Hall.

On the imperial platform.

Li Chengqian's face was full of majesty, and he spoke to the two Western envoys who were kneeling in the middle of the hall.

"I can agree to your marriage conditions, but we also have two small conditions."

The leading Western Region envoy hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please speak freely!"

A few breaths of silence.

Li Chengqian said loudly: "Give the five kingdoms of Kucha, Khotan, Shule, Zhujupo, and Pamirs as betrothal gifts."

"You must also dispatch 10 troops to assist us in attacking the Eastern Turks and Xueyantuo!"

wow~

Before the Western Region envoys could say anything, a huge noise broke out in the Taiji Hall.

Is this a small condition?

When the Tang Dynasty officials heard this condition for the first time, an idea came to their minds.

"Unless the Western Turkic envoy is mentally ill, he will not agree to the Crown Prince's request!"

But the Western Turkic envoy seemed to have a sick brain.

The two of them whispered to each other for a while, and then the leader replied with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, we agree to both of your requests."

"But our Yibishekui Khan said that he needs to marry a real princess!"
