Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship
Chapter 18 The Beautiful Concubine 18
Qiao Hanzhou nodded to her and knelt on one knee in front of Yuwen Yang, "I am honored to have fulfilled your mission!"
Yuwen Yang personally went to help him. "Father-in-law, you are so polite! I knew you would return victorious! I have already drafted an edict to confer the title of Duke of Anguo on your father-in-law and the title of First-Rank Duke's Wife on your mother-in-law. I will also reward you with ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and several boxes of silks, satins, pearls, and jade."
Yuwen Yang made a big promise, "I have also promoted my beloved concubine to Imperial Noble Consort, commanding the six palaces, and only waiting for her to give birth to a prince. She will be the perfect candidate to ascend to the throne of Empress in the future."
Qiao Hanzhou politely declined, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward! But isn't this too ostentatious?"
"No, no, your father-in-law has made great contributions to Daqi, and this is what you deserve. I still feel it is not enough!" Yuwen Yang acted very magnanimously.
An Yan stepped forward and supported Qiao Hanzhou, "Dad, the emperor is so kind, you just need to thank him."
Qiao Hanzhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. However, I have one more thing to ask for, Your Majesty's favor."
Yu Wenyang was startled. Here they come, are they here to settle the score? His throat tightened, "Father-in-law, please speak."
"This time, I was seriously injured while pursuing the Second Prince of Luo. I was unable to recover in time and have developed a hidden illness. Furthermore, my advanced age has limited my ability to ride and fight. Therefore, I shall return this military token to Your Majesty and seek a suitable replacement."
Yuwen Yang watched as the military token he had longed for was simply handed to him, within his reach. His hand was itching to take it, but he didn't dare to take it!
"Father-in-law, what you said is wrong. You are in your prime now. How can it be time for you to retire and return home?" Yuwen Yang reluctantly refused.
An Yan was horrified. "How is Daddy injured? You've come all the way here, aren't you tired now?"
Someone brought a chair and insisted that he sit down and rest for a while.
An Yan took the military token and stuffed it into Yuwen Yang's hand. "Your Majesty, my father is the strongest man. He fought for the country for so many years and suffered countless hidden injuries. If he really couldn't bear it, he wouldn't have said this to you."
"Just show some pity for this devoted veteran and let him rest! There are countless capable generals in the army, so there's no shortage of talent."
Yuwen Yang reluctantly accepted it, "Then father-in-law, please rest for a while. I will have the imperial physician take good care of you. You can take over the military command after you have recovered."
Qiao Hanzhou bowed and agreed.
"There's one more thing. Luo has signed the surrender document. The Third Prince of Luo has come with the Sixth Princess to escort the indemnity and gifts. They came with me this time and are now waiting at the palace gate for an audience. In my opinion, Luo seems to be interested in a marriage alliance."
Yuwen Yang subconsciously glanced at An Yan, "Since Luo State was defeated, it's normal for them to have such intentions. Don't worry, father-in-law. If they are sincere enough, the Sixth Princess can be given a low rank in the harem. It will definitely not affect the status of the Imperial Consort."
An Yan didn't care. "Then does the emperor want to summon the envoy from Luo Kingdom now?"
"pass!"
The Third Prince and Sixth Princess of Luo entered the palace and performed Luo etiquette. "Greetings to the Emperor of Qi."
Yuwen Yang put on his style and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, His Majesty!"
The Third Prince presented the gift list, "This is the grand gift our Luo Kingdom has specially prepared to promote peace between our two countries. Please review it, Your Majesty."
Yuwen Yang and Qiao Hanzhou were looking at the gift list.
An Yan didn't pay attention to them, but looked at the Sixth Princess who was wearing a veil and had lifeless eyes.
"And my sixth sister, Han Yanran, is the most beautiful woman in Luo country. I present her to the emperor."
Yuwen Yang was already very satisfied, and his private treasury was about to be filled, so he was in a very good mood. He was a little distracted as he spoke, "Oh~ I am very curious about the Sixth Princess's appearance. Is she more beautiful than my beloved concubine?"
The Third Prince was shocked. "Of course I can't compare to the beauty of your queen. Sixth sister, don't take off your veil. Don't forget your mission... and your mother!"
The last few threatening words were squeezed out from between his teeth, and only the Sixth Princess heard them.
The Sixth Princess shuddered, closed her eyes, and reached out stiffly to take it off.
The Sixth Princess was worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the Luo Kingdom. Her skin was as white as snow, her features were distinct, and she was elegant and cold, like a snow lotus on a high mountain. Her eyes shone with sadness, and her unique white dress and pearl accessories made her look even more cold and aloof.
Yu Wenyang's eyes widened.
Except for Xiao Cui, all the concubines in the harem have outstanding looks. Some are bright and beautiful, while others are well-educated and well-mannered ladies. There is never a cold and aloof type.
Yuwen Yang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but he still said reservedly: "Since Luo State has such intentions, I will confer the title of He Guiren on the princess, hoping that the two countries will be reconciled from now on."
The Third Prince bowed and said, "Thank you, Emperor Qiguo!"
He nudged the Sixth Princess with his elbow, and she reluctantly bowed in thanks.
Yu Wenyang was so attracted by such a beauty that he wished he could have her on the spot. However, his excited heart was completely chilled when he turned around and saw An Yan and Qiao Hanzhou standing beside him.
He coughed to cover it up, "My beloved, the princess has come from afar, with a mission to establish peace between our two countries, and I am also here to pray for the great cause."
An Yan smiled slightly, "I understand. I will arrange a place for my new sister to live. Your Majesty does not need to worry."
Three days after entering the palace with the noble lady, Yuwen Yang stayed in Yonghe Palace for three consecutive days.
Because of the same title as the former Noble Lady He, An Yan promoted Noble Lady He to Wanpin. At the same time, Noble Lady Qian was promoted to Qianpin for her meritorious service in assisting the palace affairs.
Yuwen Yang naturally would not refuse these small things. He originally wanted to promote Xiao Cui as well.
As soon as she said the word "green", An Yan took over and generously released Xiao Cui from Shoukang Palace.
By the way, since Concubine Lu had all enjoyed the favor, it would not be good to favor one over the other, so with a wave of his hand, Concubine De was promoted to Concubine De, Concubine Yang was promoted to Concubine Xian, Concubine Xiu was promoted to Concubine Xiu, and Concubine He was promoted to Concubine He.
While Yuwen Yang was feeling depressed, An Yan left in a leisurely manner.
At this moment, the concubines gathered in Chengqian Palace to express their gratitude to An Yan, and at the same time, they drank tea, ate cakes, cracked melon seeds and chatted.
Although no one had any expectations of Yuwen Yang, her treatment became better after her promotion, especially when she was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine, and she became the master of a palace.
Not to mention that she could also witness Xiao Cui's joke. She was the only one left out of the six palaces, and she had become the laughing stock of the entire palace.
Xiao Cui seemed to have learned her lesson and never left the house except to pay respects. When she came to pay respects, she would just be a backdrop and never interrupt.
It was Hepin's first time to pay her respects. She performed the ceremony in a proper manner and An Yan did not make things difficult for her.
Concubine De and others looked at her appearance curiously. She was indeed an icy beauty, but too cold.
Seeing that she had no intention of communicating, no one wanted to put themselves in a cold reception, so they all started chatting with their sisters.
Xiao Cui put herself in Hepin's shoes and felt that Hepin was being excluded just like her, which was why she was so sad, so she decided to win her over.
After chatting for a long time, An Yan asked them to go back. Xia Lian then came in and quietly handed her a letter.
