We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Although he discussed with the Chang family about taking Chang Ningxue as a concubine, Li Che only claimed to the outside world that he was taking a concubine.

The ministers also knew that His Highness did not want to be confirmed as the Princess too early and did not want to bother considering political marriage.

Therefore, no one dared to underestimate Concubine Chang.

His Highness is still young and does not want to worry about matters concerning the harem, so the position of princess has not been established.

In the future, as His Highness grows older and his status increases, there will surely be more and more concubines entering the palace.

However, no matter how many women there are, their relationship with His Highness is not as deep as this one.

Chang Ningxue had followed His Highness from the very beginning, all the way from the imperial capital to Chaoyang City.

In fact, his achievements were not inferior to those of some important officials in the Fengguo court.

Even His Highness called him General Chang.

His Highness is a man of loyalty and righteousness, and perhaps one day he will promote her to be his principal wife.

As for whether this is against etiquette? No one really cares!

The ministers of Feng State were just glad that His Highness had finally come to his senses and was willing to add people to the harem.

Before this, the ministers were really scared.

Our prince never gets close to women, could it be that he is attracted to men?

It doesn't matter if you like men, the key is that you have to leave behind an heir! You have to hurry up and give birth to a little prince!

Now, everyone in Feng State is tied to Li Che, and they all prosper together. Naturally, they hope that the lineage of King Feng will prosper.

Especially since his own prince is a person who cannot sit still. Whenever there is a war, he will lead the army in person, and he often goes to the battlefield and leads the charge.

This move made the Fengtian Army victorious in every battle, but it also made everyone frightened.

To put it bluntly, if anything happens to His Highness, without even an heir, the huge Feng Kingdom will be destroyed in an instant.

And if an heir could be left behind, even if it was just a baby in swaddling clothes, the civil and military ministers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Feng State would have someone to be loyal to, and Feng State would not perish.

Of course, an auspicious day was chosen for the wedding, and the complicated procedures such as the three books and six ceremonies were also necessary.

But the Chang family was far away in the imperial capital, and Chang Pan was anxious to marry off his daughter, so some procedures had already been decided in the imperial capital, while others were simplified as much as possible.

Although Chang Pan did not come in person, Lady Liu, the wife of Duke Zheng, did come.

After all, Chang Ningxue was the legitimate daughter of the Duke and was quite favored. Liu not only led the team through mountains and rivers personally, but also brought a lot of dowry.

When passing through Yan, Li Lin personally received him and became angry when he learned about the situation.

"This Old Sixth is too despicable. He didn't even tell me about such a big thing. He doesn't even treat me as a brother!"

In Prince Yan's mansion, Li Lin confided to Princess Yan, his tone full of complaints.

"Your Highness, rest assured. His Highness the Prince of Feng keeps a low profile and does things in a low-key manner. He has his reasons for doing so."

Princess Yan put down the document in her hand and said softly,

"It has only been a short time since Your Highness and Prince Yan destroyed the four great families, and the turmoil has not yet subsided. I wonder how many eyes in the court are staring at Your Highness and Prince Feng."

"If His Royal Highness Prince Feng were to take a concubine in a grand ceremony, it would certainly be glorious, but it would also attract malicious eyes once again. Your Highness and His Royal Highness Prince Feng are both away, so they're not afraid of such malicious intent, but what about the Chang family?"

"By then, as the relatives of the Fengwang Mansion, won't the Chang family have to bear the ill will of the aristocratic family on your behalf?"

Li Lin suddenly understood and clapped his hands, saying, "I told you! How could it be possible that such a big thing as the Sixth Prince taking a concubine was not told to me?"

He stood up and paced up and down the room.

"No, no! The Duke of Zheng's Mansion sent people here. The road ahead is tough and dangerous. What if they encounter any danger? I must send troops to escort them for a while."

"I'm not confident in sending someone else, so why not go there myself? It just so happens that there's no one from the Sixth Family who is an elder..."

Halfway through his words, Li Lin suddenly felt a little insecure and looked at his princess weakly.

"Ahem...Princess, um...can I go?"

Princess Yan smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you wish to go, you may, but keep it to yourself. Go quietly and return quietly. It would be best if you could send a few carrier pigeons to inform His Highness the Prince of Feng beforehand."

Li Lin was overjoyed when he heard this.

But soon, he showed worry again: "But if I go, Yandi..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm here."

The last trace of worry in Li Lin's eyes disappeared. The more he looked at his princess, the more he felt that he was lucky.

Back then, when my father told me that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Duke of Wei, I was very reluctant.

I just think that the daughters of nobles are vulgar, and they are not as gentle and charming as the daughters of civil servants.

Fortunately, I was young and energetic at the time. I just hid in the dark and took a look at the princess, who was the legitimate daughter of Duke Weiguo. I was immediately attracted by her beauty and agreed.

Now it seems that it was the best decision I have ever made.

Li Lin was extremely grateful to his lustful self back then.

Thinking of this, Li Lin quickly walked to the side of Princess Yan and picked her up.

Princess Yan exclaimed softly, her face flushed: "Your Highness, are you in no hurry to leave seclusion?"

"Not at this moment." Li Lin said with a smile, "Besides, it's rare that Xian'er is not by my side..."

After saying that, he carried his princess in his arms and strode towards the bedroom.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

There was a small table next to the dragon table. Emperor Qing was reading memorials, while the burly Li Xian was practicing calligraphy at the table beside him.

Li Xian suddenly sneezed. Emperor Qing looked up and said softly:

"Is Xian'er feeling unwell? Is he cold?"

"Replying to the Emperor, Xian'er is fine, he just sneezed." Li Xian stood up and saluted politely.

Then he looked puzzled.

What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel betrayed?

. . . . . .

A few days later, Li Lin received a letter from Li Che via carrier pigeon.

Li Che knew that Li Lin was coming to the wedding, but he did not refuse. He just thanked Li Lin for taking care of the team from Duke Zheng's Mansion and told him that he had asked Yue Yun to go and pick them up.

Li Lin no longer hesitated and selected a few hundred personal soldiers to escort the team from Duke Zheng's Mansion all the way north.

Arrived at Shanhaiguan, met Xue Zhen.

When Xue Zhen heard about Li Che's wedding, his face was cold, but he was very conflicted in his heart.

What should I do? I really want to go!

But as the garrison commander of Shanhaiguan, it was impossible for him to leave his post without permission, let alone go to Fengguo for a banquet.

He had no choice but to ask Li Lin to help deliver a letter to Xue Wei, asking him to congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Feng on behalf of the Xue family.

Apart from Shanhaiguan, Li Lin was in an even happier mood.

He has been to the territory of the Northern Hu many times during the years he has been guarding Yan, but this is his first time to the northeast outside the Great Wall.

In the early years, he only heard that the area outside the Great Wall was desolate, even worse than the grassland, where crops could not survive, let alone people.

However, ever since Li Che rose to prominence outside the Great Wall, Li Lin knew that was nonsense. The land in the northeast outside the Great Wall was by no means as desolate as they said.

However, the prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain. How can it be changed in a short time?

In Li Lin's impression, the area outside the Great Wall is still a desolate place compared to the Central Plains, and his sixth brother's life must be much harder than his own.

However, the moment Li Lin walked out of the northern gate of Shanhaiguan, his eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.

"no......"

Li Lin looked at the wide road ahead in shock. It was as flat as the surface of the water and stretched to the end of his sight.

He turned around again and looked at the narrow dirt road behind him. It was bumpy and full of gravel and weeds.

Then he rubbed his eyes fiercely and said, "What are you doing here for me? Is this outside the Great Wall?"
