First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 18 Where Everyone Goes

Su Jixiang glanced sideways. What a guy! She just wanted King Huainan to release these palace maids, but this guy married them off directly!

Su Jixiang had some idea about releasing the palace maids.

The banner of the King of Huainan was to help the poor, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs were not children of wealthy families. Even if some were from the families of minor officials, they had no other choice but to send their children to the palace as slaves. Every year, the inner court of the Daxie Dynasty would go to the people to buy some children of appropriate age with clean family backgrounds to enter the palace as maids. Some families would bribe the buyers to send their children in order to make their children rise to the top. However, there were countless people entering the palace every year, and how many of them could really meet the emperor and rise to the top? Most of them turned into wronged souls and stepping stones.

Emperor Jingdi did not die but fled. If the King of Huainan really killed Emperor Jingdi's old friends, it would directly hand the blame to Emperor Jingdi, which would inevitably make people all over the world laugh at him.

That was why Su Jixiang dared to ask for this grace. After all, King Huainan did not want to and could not kill these people. He just lacked a messenger, and she was just that messenger.

"Your idea is good!" King Huainan's eyes lit up, but these people could not stay in Beijing after marriage, they could only go to the border to cultivate land! However, Wei Ling's method really solved his biggest headache at the moment.

Xie Yingfeng was speechless.

It turns out that Wei Ling was really cunning. He was dragged into the water by the King of Huainan, so he dragged down all the soldiers in the army who were unmarried or whose wives had died...

"What about the concubines in the palace?" Xie Yingfeng asked.

"Those who have given birth to children naturally cannot marry out. Find a place to raise them with their children. As for those who have not given birth, they can also be granted marriage." Wei Ling said.

King Huainan's eyes became even brighter!

Otherwise, why do people say that Wei Ling is such a black-hearted guy!

Emperor Jing exiled his entire family and took away his family's title, causing all his family members to die on the way to exile. This kid was punished to go to the mine in Mangcheng to mine, so he found a way to gather a group of people, blew up the camp, and occupied the mountain as the king. Later, he brought his troops to join his army. During the fight along the way, this kid was always at the forefront.

Now it was Emperor Jing's turn to flee, so he married off all the concubines who were left in the capital and did not take them away, making Emperor Jing cuckold one green hat after another.

Emperor Jing would probably be so angry that he would jump up and down even on the way to escape!

"Okay, let's follow General Wei's method!" Huainan King said with a smile, "But we need to be more careful about where the concubines in the harem go."

"It would be safest to let Lord Xie handle this matter!" Wei Ling passed the buck easily.

Xie Yingfeng wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he ask such an unnecessary question just now? Now, the hot potato was in his hands!

"Good, good, good!" King Huainan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "General Wei's suggestion is good! Thank you, my dear minister. The marriage of the palace maids and concubines will be handed over to you. You have to take care of it!"

Xie Yingfeng waited for two mosquito-repellent eyes and could only kowtow to the leader to express his gratitude.

"What about the eunuchs?" Xie Yingfeng asked weakly.

"The eunuchs should be assigned to nearby farms and given a piece of land," said the King of Huainan, "so that they can earn their living on their own."

Su Jixiang felt relieved when he heard this. Although he failed to win freedom for everyone, at least he was sure that everyone would not die! And they would not be used as military prostitutes.

"Thank you very much for your grace, Your Highness." Su Jixiang kowtowed.

"Haha, by the way, I forgot to tell you that you have been granted marriage to General Wei. Congratulations, you will be the wife of General Wei from now on!" King Huainan looked at Su Jixiang with a smile.

Su Jixiang screamed and fell to the ground.

She was a little overwhelmed...

So she was the first one to be granted marriage!

Even after she was sent back to Changliu Palace, Su Jixiang still hadn't come to her senses.

How come you become Mrs. Wei just by cooking a meal?

She was so eager to cook just to save her life and everyone else's. She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to be a military prostitute...

When Mei Fei saw that Su Jixiang looked strange when he came back this time, her heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Is there any bad news?"

Su Jixiang sat beside Concubine Mei, looking at her with a smile on his face, "She's not completely bad, but she's not good either..."

The palace people around her gathered around her and asked, "Aunt Su, did you know any news?"

"Yeah, what you said is neither bad nor good. Does that mean we can be spared the death penalty, but cannot escape the punishment of living?"

"Yeah, are we going to be exiled?"

"Wow, wow, wow, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be exiled. I heard that many criminals died on the way to exile."

Everyone started talking at once, and suddenly there was a chorus of sighs.

"That's enough! She hasn't said what it is yet!" Concubine Mei shouted.

Among those imprisoned in Changliu Palace, Concubine Mei had the highest status, so although her voice was not loud, it was intimidating enough. The chattering voices suddenly stopped.

"Just listen to Jixiang!" Concubine Mei glared at everyone and said, then she looked at Su Jixiang.

In fact, she is also very weak now.

Just before the rebel army entered the palace, she heard that her father and brother had been demoted due to their unfavorable performance on the battlefield, and later disappeared from the battlefield, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead.

If she was really exiled, she wouldn't even have the chance to find her father and brother.

Her heart was also filled with bitterness.

"We won't be sentenced to death." Li Xiaoruo said.

"Really? Aunt Su, you didn't lie to us!"

“Yes, Aunt Su, are you telling the truth?”

"As long as I am not dead, I am not afraid of exile. At least I am still alive."

"Yes, whether you are going to be exiled or not, you should tell me clearly!"

"Everyone, please be patient." Su Jixiang, who was questioned by these people, raised his hand and pressed, "Listen to me."

"Good good."

"Yes, everyone be quiet!"

Mei Fei glared at them, and these people immediately quieted down.

"Go ahead." Mei Fei said pretending to be calm, but God knows her hands, which were pinching the hem of her clothes, were already sweating.

"We will not be sentenced to death or exiled, but we will be granted marriages." Su Jixiang said, "Marriages will be granted to the older soldiers in the Fengtian Army who are still unmarried."

"what?"

As soon as Su Jixiang said this, the entire Changliu Palace was almost shaken by the exclamations of the crowd.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Then the marriage is granted only to palace maids? What about the concubines and eunuchs in the palace?"

After a moment of shock, everyone came to their senses and gathered around to ask questions.

"The eunuchs will probably be sent to the nearest farm for reclamation." Su Jixiang scratched his head and said, "As for the concubines in the palace who have not given birth yet, they will be directly granted marriages, and those who have given birth will be imprisoned together with their children." She spread her hands after she finished speaking. Sorry, she was just an emotionless mouthpiece.
