Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

The emperor felt better after hearing this. At this moment, Eunuch Jingde handed the emperor a secret letter, "Your Majesty, there is a secret letter from the northern border."

The emperor opened it and saw that it was a letter from the secret agent Zhang Feng whom he had arranged. His face lit up with joy as he read it, "We have won a victory in the northern border."

The queen also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

But after reading the latter part of the letter, the emperor's face darkened.

The letter stated that soldier Wang Er risked his life to kill a Xiongnu leader, but the general's adopted son Bai Mufan wanted to claim the credit. Zhang Feng directly informed General Bai of the incident, but he was unsure whether General Bai would follow his own rules.

The emperor slammed the table in anger and said, "How can this be possible?"

Last time, I spared him out of consideration for General Bai. Now he has become even more daring. I wonder how General Bai will deal with this?

Just as he put the letter down, a young eunuch came to report that the cavalry in the army had also sent a letter. The emperor opened it and took a look.

This letter was written by General Bai himself. It said that the weapons and armor delivered to the military camp this time were light and easy to use, and the wooden stakes given by the emperor for training the soldiers were also good. The soldiers' physical strength also increased a lot. Then he requested the first merit for this battle to be given to soldier Wang Er, and the second-class merit to the former captain Niu Chong...

When the emperor saw this, he was very pleased. General Bai would never let him down as always.

"Jingde asked the Hanlin Academy to draft an imperial edict. Soldier Wang Er was rewarded for capturing the enemy leader, so he was promoted to centurion. Hundred Household Member Niu was promoted to thousand Household Member. The other soldiers were allocated 100,000 taels of silver and were given to General Bai to oversee the rewards. All expenses were paid from the national treasury."

The emperor added: "Also, the former captain Bai Mufan was greedy for merit and had bad character, so he was stripped of his captaincy and demoted to an ordinary soldier."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Jingde walked out after the emperor finished speaking.

The Queen Mother said: "Ah, I can't tell. General Bai raised him as his own son and even wanted to marry his daughter to him."

The Queen also said: "Yes, General Bai has always trained him as his successor, what a pity."

The emperor said: "Let's not talk about him anymore. It's getting late. Let's have dinner together."

As soon as the dishes came up, the queen started to dry heave and said, "Your Majesty, I really can't eat it. The smell of the food makes me sick."

The emperor was anxious and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician."

The queen pulled his sleeve and said, "No need. We've consulted the imperial physician many times and even given him candied fruit, but it's of no use."

The Empress Dowager handed over a piece of sour jujube slice and said, "Why don't you try the sour jujube slice that Yu'er gave you? Maybe it will help."

The queen did not feel nauseous when looking at the sour jujube slices. She took a bite and found them to be moderately sweet and sour, very delicious. She no longer felt nauseous after eating just one slice.

The queen stroked her chest and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is good. I don't feel sick after eating it."

The emperor was happy to hear this and said, "Come here, send some rewards to Su Yu. Send the three shops on Weiyang Street in the capital. Say they are sent by the eldest son of the Jiang family. This is a return gift of sour jujube slices."

The young eunuch quickly responded "yes".

After the meal, the empress dowager returned to the Cining Palace.

Aunt Qinxin reported, "Queen Dowager, have the people below found out the reason why Prince Ye is killing the Lin family?"

The last time the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she always felt that her son's expression was not right that day, so she called the people below to check and said, "Tell me quickly."

Aunt Qinxin was unable to speak, "It was the girl from the Lin family who gave Prince Ye an aphrodisiac."

The Queen Mother didn't care about that. She asked hurriedly, "Did Na Ze'er favor her?"

Aunt Qinxin, "He did favor a woman, but she was not Miss Lin. After the incident, the prince carried her back to his room, but we didn't see her face, so we don't know whose daughter she was."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother became excited and said, "Why don't you go and investigate immediately?"

Aunt Qinxin frowned and said, "A lot of people came during those days, including farm girls, so it was a bit difficult to check them out."

Queen Mother, "Continue to send more people to check one by one, and King Xuan Ye will come to the palace tomorrow."

Aunt Qinxin: "Yes, Queen Mother."

Queen Mother, if it wasn't getting late, she would have brought her second son in today and interrogated him thoroughly. It was too outrageous. He favored women but was still irresponsible. Once he entered the palace, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

So the Queen Mother thought about this and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The next morning, a palace maid went to Xuanye Zhuangzi to convey his oral instructions.

The Queen Mother was sitting in the Cining Palace feeling uneasy. "Qinxin, what do you think we should do if he doesn't want to take that woman in?"

Qin thought for a moment, "Then the Queen Mother can just issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage. We are already husband and wife anyway."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "This is the only way. Since they are favored, we cannot be irresponsible. Since their status is a little lower, we just need to raise their family's status."

On the other hand, Prince Ye did receive the news. He felt that his mother did not have anything important to talk to him about, so he still finished teaching first, had lunch at the Su Mansion, and then left for the palace.

So the Queen Mother kept waiting and waiting, looking out the door from time to time. She waited until the meal was over, but Prince Ye still hadn't arrived. She became more convinced that her son must have guessed why she wanted him to come, so he didn't want to be responsible for his daughter.

After waiting for another half an hour, Prince Ye finally arrived. "Mother, your son is here. What do you want to talk to me about?"

But what greeted him was a pillow hitting his head, followed by a lash of willow branches. "Ah, mother, your son is just a little late, you don't have to be so angry," Prince Ye dodged quickly.

The Queen Mother chased him and whipped him, scolding him earnestly: "You irresponsible man, you have to take responsibility for favoring a girl in the Taoist temple. There is no such person in our royal family. Even if she is not of high status, you can take her as a concubine. How can you be irresponsible for ruining her body?"

When Prince Ye heard this, he stopped and stopped hiding. He had indeed tarnished someone's innocence.

The Queen Mother was also tired of smoking, she put her hands on her hips and said: "Whose family is this girl from? Your Majesty will issue an order to grant her a marriage right away."

Prince Ye's eyes lit up, and he looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "Are you serious?"

The Queen Mother was stunned, "When the Queen Mother speaks, you must take it seriously."

Prince Ye asked, "Mother, do you really not mind my identity as a woman?"

He thought, even if it was a woman who had not yet divorced?

The Queen Mother thought that it was just that the woman had a lower status. "If she can marry into the royal family, she will be the royal daughter-in-law in the future. What's the harm in having a lower status? Who dares to look down on her?"

Prince Ye raised an eyebrow, "Mother, do you swear? No matter what her status is, you will grant her marriage?"

Queen Mother, "I swear that I will grant you the marriage."

Prince Ye shook his head and said, "Mother, that's not enough. You have to swear that if I don't grant you the marriage, you will never be able to eat the new flavors of food made by Su Yu. A hundred years later, I will not let you and father live together."

The Queen Mother didn't even think about it. Now she was more anxious for Prince Ye to get married than Prince Ye.

She held up three fingers and said, "I swear, if I don't grant a marriage between Prince Ye and the favored woman, I will..."

The Queen Mother looked at her son and said, "Okay, now you can tell me which family that woman belongs to."
