Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

The princes of the Southern Kingdom and the four princes of the Eastern Kingdom were exhausted by boats and cars, and the state banquet would not start until the afternoon. In the morning, the emperor happened to hold a palace examination in the Hall of Zhaohe, and selected the top three in the imperial examination on the spot. For this reason, the ministers only need to Just take the family members into the palace to attend the state banquet in the afternoon.

"Wow, Jingxuan, every time I see you wearing a princess outfit, I can't help being amazed. It's so beautiful, as if it was specially made for you."

On weekdays, Ling Jingxuan always wears simple and comfortable cotton clothes. Occasionally, he will change into a brocade robe when he needs to support the occasion. As for the princess's big attire, he basically never wears it except when entering the palace. Let's see him wear it again to represent his identity Si Kongjue couldn't help screaming in amazement in the red and luxurious gown of his status, there is no one more suitable for wearing a super first-grade princess gown than him.

"Hehe... You're not bad either. This kind of clothes looks good, but it's too troublesome to wear and it's not easy to move. I still prefer the usual dress."

With a slight smile, Ling Jingxuan sat down casually in the hall. The complicated and luxurious formal attire matched his temperament very well, making him more handsome and dazzling, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off him. He gave a thumbs up. Yan Shengrui who was by his side was both happy and depressed. Of course he was happy that his wife looked good, but he couldn't help being displeased when others stared at him. The daughter-in-law hides it so that no one can see his beauty. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law doesn't wear it like this every day, otherwise he doesn't have to do anything. Just staying by his side to defend his ownership is enough to exhaust him.

"I heard that the people from Dongguo haven't said who they want to marry?"

Concubine Yun, who was holding Xiaotuanzi, looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a smile. She was relieved that they had a good relationship, but the sudden appearance of the two princesses of the Eastern Kingdom inevitably made people a little worried. There was no way, the ability of her son Obviously there, even if it is a side concubine, there are probably many people who have sharpened their heads and want to marry in. The marriage between the two countries is no different than others. If people from the Eastern Kingdom open their mouths, it may be difficult for them to refuse.

"Well, that's why the emperor asked everyone to bring their family members, especially the legitimate sons and daughters of the right age at home. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, we have basically sent princesses to other countries to marry. The prince's request for marriage, the emperor's uncle put on the armor for the emperor's aunt, and bravely crowned the Quartet, Qingguo terminated this marriage that is tantamount to shame. Now Dongguo, which is known as the most powerful country, took the initiative to bring the princess to marry. The emperor seems very happy It seems that he wants the second and sixth sons to marry them as concubines, but the fourth prince of the Eastern Kingdom did not nod. He should have other candidates, and today he will definitely choose the one gathered at the state banquet. come out"

Sitting down next to Ling Jingxuan calmly, Yan Chengrui lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice, if Xiao Qi was of the right age, he might not be able to escape, and the other princes are already slightly inferior in winning the heir apparent, so it is impossible for him to choose. The next ones are the pinnacle representatives of civil and military courtiers, and there are only a few candidates in the minds of the fourth prince.

"then you.

If possible, Concubine Yun didn't want to mention this matter in front of them, but he was afraid that her son would ignore it, and judging from the current situation, the fourth prince was very likely to fall in love with him.

"Mother and Concubine don't need to worry, I don't plan to marry anyone other than Jingxuan."

The tone seemed gentle, but it was undeniably domineering. No one could force the person he didn't want to marry. If Princess Dongguo insisted on marrying him, she would undoubtedly be humiliating herself. He would not be like the emperor's brother Many scruples always hurt the most important person.

Without intervening in the conversation between their mother and son, Ling Jingxuan gracefully picked up the teacup and seemed to be drinking tea quietly, but his mind was quickly active, pushing the table for a show. Generally, in such a marriage, as long as the other party's princess is fancy, even if Those who are already married must voluntarily abandon or demote their first wife to a noble concubine. He has no intention of becoming a concubine, so those people in the Eastern Kingdom had better be more sensible, otherwise he really can't guarantee that. Whether the two beautiful princesses can live to the wedding night in the bridal chamber, it is not difficult for him to let one or two people suddenly die suddenly, and he can also make them have no excuse to find fault with them, and there is no reason to send troops .

"Since you have a plan in mind, I don't worry, but Lao Jiu, you still have to take care of your face. The royal family of the Qing Dynasty cannot be underestimated."

Concubine Yun nodded, these people, whether they like it or not, maintaining the face of the royal family has become their unshirkable responsibility all their lives.

"Well" this is also his responsibility, and Yan Shengrui did not object. The royal family symbolizes a country, and its face is like the dignity of the country. Usually, it is fine for one's own people to fight against each other. In front of people from other countries, they must work hard to maintain it. national dignity.

"This Eastern Kingdom is also a joke. It is obvious that we have an old feud with us. The two countries do not talk about fighting each other, nor can we talk about harmony. Almost as long as there is a small opportunity, a large-scale war may break out, but they are in Sending two princesses to marry at this time, isn't it obvious that they will die? Only people with broken brains will believe them."

Sikong Jue curled his lips in disdain. He didn't believe that Dongguo was just for peace. The so-called marriage was to bring peace to the two countries and save the people from the suffering of war and displacement. It was also marriage. Ever since he married Qing After that, no disputes broke out between Qingxi and Qingxi. If it were those two princesses, they would lead the Eastern army to suppress the border within three months, right?

"Did you forget that the first person they consider is your prince? I think they must have suffered humiliation in the Western Kingdom, and the envoys who returned added embellishments, which made the Eastern Emperor furious. Trying to unite with Qingguo to destroy Xiguo before destroying Qingguo? In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that Dongguo and Qingguo have a feud. Once they start a war with Xiguo in front, Qingguo will definitely not look on stupidly. Taking advantage of the marriage relationship with the Western Kingdom, they sent troops to attack the Eastern Kingdom. Before that, they had to appease the Qing Kingdom. The purpose of sending two princesses was to show their sincerity. Well, in terms of national strength alone, the Western Kingdom is definitely stronger than the Qing Kingdom. If the Eastern Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom destroy the Western Kingdom together, the remaining Eastern Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom, the idiots can tell who is stronger and who is weaker, and their intentions will be different. Here it is."

Ling Jingxuan spoke casually, but he didn't know that he expressed all Dongguo's thoughts. If people in Dongguo heard it, they might think that he was listening to the corner when they were discussing.

"Because the Eastern Kingdom wants to fight against my Western Kingdom? It's not that I look down on them. They can't pass the level of weapons alone. Our Western Kingdom's refined steel swords are unrivaled in the world, and any army is helpless."

On this point, Sikong Jue is quite confident, even Yan Shengrui can't refute him, isn't his only defeat many years ago to Xiguo's fine steel knife?Although they have now refined their own refined steel knives with the help of Jingxuan and Zhao Dalong, it will take at least three to five years before they can be popularized to the entire army like Xiguo. Before that, if they fight Xiguo, The result is undoubtedly only one, and the army is defeated like a mountain.

"Look at you, the fine steel knife is not invincible, there are many more powerful weapons than the fine steel knife."

Seeing his arrogance, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help shaking his head, what about a fine steel knife, he could get out any earthen cannon and blow him up, even people and knives, but he didn't want to bring hot weapons into cold water. In the age of weapons, people are unwilling to speed up the development of the times without authorization. The natural world has its own laws, and man-made transitional changes will only make the world more chaotic.

"Your automatic rifle doesn't count, that thing is cheating."

Thinking that he was talking about the special weapon of Team Thunder, Sikong Jue was ashamed decisively. The power of that thing is too amazing, and the fine steel knife is no fart in front of it.

Knowing that he misunderstood, Ling Jingxuan didn't intend to explain. It's good that he knows some things himself. As long as he is not forced into a corner, he will not let things that should not appear in this world. On the contrary, if the city destroys At the point of death, he didn't care so much.

"Do you think the champion of the new division has a chance to be favored by the princess of the Eastern Kingdom?"

Yan Xiaohua considered it again and again, but decided to say it out. After all, Ling Jinghan has a good chance to be the champion of this year. If he is selected, he is not as powerful as Jiuhuangshu to refuse. It is estimated that the emperor still has a lot to say. It may be possible to take advantage of the situation to weaken the strength of the Ling family, and then it will be troublesome.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows. He really hadn't thought about this issue. Princess Dongguo wanted to marry, so she would definitely find someone with a lot of power. No matter how you look at it, she shouldn't be interested in a fledgling champion, right?

"Yi, is there any news from the palace?"

Yan Shengrui was more straightforward, counting the time, the top three in this subject should have been born, and they couldn't ignore any possibility.

"My subordinates have just received the news that the emperor has appointed the younger brother of the concubine as Jinke Tanhualang."

Yan Yi, who was named, came out from the dark, and he couldn't help looking at Ling Jingxuan cautiously while speaking, obviously he would be the first in the test, but in the end he only got a Tanhualang, it would be uncomfortable for a person, their princess always loves her family, It is estimated that it is even more uncomfortable, the emperor is simply trying to die.

"Oh? Tanhualang, what is the exam question asked by the emperor?"

Surprisingly, Ling Jingxuan didn't get angry, but sneered twice with the corners of his lips raised, the cold light in his eyes made people shiver slightly.

"On national policy."

Without any hesitation, Yan Yi obediently reported the exam questions, Ling Jingxuan stroked his chin and pondered for a while, as for the national policy, under the influence of him and Sheng Rui Yunhan and others, Jinghan should not answer badly , that is to say, the emperor deliberately refused to give Jing Han the champion, in order to suppress Sheng Rui and warn him, or, Jing Han also noticed something and deliberately abandoned the champion?

"Ah?? My back hurts after sitting for a long time. It's almost time. Let's go to the palace early."

Facing everyone's strange stares, Ling Jingxuan stood up and stretched his waist. All the illusions of elegance and luxury were instantly shattered. Everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed. Can't he pay attention to his identity?If you want to do this at the state banquet, how many old stereotypes will die of anger.

"Well, I also have something to talk to the emperor in advance, mother concubine, Xiaotuanzi, please, Xiaowen and the others remember to tell them when they come back in the afternoon, lest they say that we disappeared for no reason."

Not feeling anything wrong with his daughter-in-law, Yan Chengrui got up and hugged him. Seeing this, Yan Xiaohua, who was also about to enter the palace, Sikong Jue and Hua Junwang all got up at the same time. It was time for them to fight. This was a battle without smoke I just hope that some people don't fight to the death.
