Chapter 150: Princess
How could he know her?
Thinking about it later, considering Xiaojiu’s personality of being able to chat with anyone, it didn’t seem like a particularly strange thing.
The engagement was finally settled, and the Sixth Prince felt relieved.
He was going to get married in half a year, so the Sixth Prince should have been nervous, but he only had a slight emotional fluctuation when the news came, and he quickly calmed down.
But the Sixth Prince still pretended to be excited.
As a result, when the Fourth Prince saw him the next day, he couldn’t help but tease him, and finally made the Sixth Prince blush, and then he let him go.
After the Fourth Prince left, the embarrassment in the Sixth Prince’s eyes in the room instantly disappeared.
There is still half a year left. I hope nothing goes wrong during this period.As for the choice of the prince’s wife, in fact, the Sixth Miss is not the best choice. The saying that they are both sixth in the family means that they are destined to be together is nonsense. It is just a nice thing to say.
Originally, the Sixth Prince’s plan was to marry several other young ladies who were not engaged. However, when he was discussing it with Prime Minister He, what Xiao Jiu had said inadvertently flashed through his mind.
If the woman is too young, the risks are extremely high for both the mother and the child.
The child was just making up stories, and the Sixth Prince did not believe it at first. However, his goal was to have a healthy child after all, so he finally investigated it with the attitude of believing it was true rather than not.
It is found to be true, for example, for women who get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the probability of both the child and the mother surviving at the same time is much lower than that of women over the age of seventeen or eighteen.
And such an important matter had never been discovered before.
The Sixth Prince finally chose the Sixth Miss who had been broken off from engagement in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
He couldn’t give up his obsession to climb up, so he could only choose the best one within the range of options.
As for whether to cancel the engagement or not, the Sixth Prince doesn’t care.
As the days passed, there was no change in the life of the Sixth Prince. Every day he went to court, returned to the six ministries, and returned to the Prince’s Mansion. Every once in a while, he would come to the palace to visit the Imperial Concubine. At night, he would read for an hour as usual before going to bed.
The Sixth Prince’s day is packed with activities, and he even studies harder than when he was studying. When Ye Shuo found out about this, he didn’t know what to say.
Since he is planning to have a child, he is still so busy and doesn’t have enough time to rest. With his physical condition, there is no way he can have a child.
Some people always think that having a child is a woman’s business alone, but they don’t know that if the father of the child is not good, no matter how hard they try, it will be in vain.
The quality of the child’s father is the key factor in whether the child is healthy or not.
Not only women, but men also have an optimal childbearing age.
Miss Six has a ruddy complexion, a steady and long breath, a well-proportioned body, and strong and clean teeth. She is obviously in good health, so the only difficulty lies with Xiao Ming himself.
But the problem is that Xiao Ming himself doesn’t think so. He still feels that he is in good health, it’s just that his martial arts skills are not as good as those of the eldest prince. He has no self-awareness at all.
That’s right, let alone in ancient times, even if this happens in modern times, few men think that being unable to have children is their own problem.
In this situation, the only one who would suffer is Miss Six.
However, the Sixth Prince’s purpose of getting married was not simple, and for a moment Ye Shuo didn’t know whether he should tell him about this matter.
Just when Ye Shuo was struggling, the princess sent by Beiting for marriage finally arrived.
The princess is now only in her twenties, and is in the prime of her beauty, just like a blooming flower. She has a wild beauty that the women of the Great Zhou do not have. Her skin is not as fair as those of the women of the Great Zhou, but a very healthy honey color.
As soon as the other party showed up, she swept across a large area of the harem with her unique energy alone.
After all, Concubine Rong is not a saint. Even though she is a concubine, she can’t help but feel a slight sense of crisis in her heart.
It would be fine under normal circumstances, but the key point is that this princess doesn’t look like a peaceful person. Her big eyes keep roaming around Emperor Jingwen at the top of the table, which makes the imperial concubine feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
The other person is young and beautiful, wouldn’t the imperial concubine be jealous?
However, that would have been the end of it. When Princess Huyan’s gaze fell on Ye Shuo, the imperial concubine realised what it meant to be truly horrified.
The previous jealousy suddenly disappeared, and the imperial concubine’s vigilance was aroused in an instant.
She would rather the other party had her eyes on Emperor Jingwen than have her set her sights on Shuo’er.
Forget it, becoming a concubine is much better than becoming my own daughter-in-law.
This kind of good thing should be left for His Majesty to enjoy slowly.
Ye Shuo also noticed the princess’s abnormality. When he saw the hint of temptation in her eyes, Ye Shuo was completely stunned.
I am still a child!
This beast!
At first, Ye Shuo wondered if he was too narcissistic and had seen it wrong, but after observing for a while, he found that it was indeed not his illusion.
But at the same time, Ye Shuo didn’t think that the other party really liked him. To be honest, he was born with a good face in his life, all thanks to his parents’ good genes, but the problem was that he was young. How could a primary school student have any charm?
It was just a hint from Beiting.
It seems that these guys are still determined to cause trouble in the Great Zhou. Even in this situation, they refuse to give up.
Emperor Jingwen also noticed that Princess Huyan glanced at his son from time to time, which frightened the usually active little bastard so much that he hid behind him like a quail, and no longer dared to talk nonstop as usual.
Emperor Jingwen thought it was a little funny at first, but after he realised what was going on, he couldn’t help feeling angry.
Of course, this anger was not directed at Ye Shuo, but at Bei Ting being shameless.
His son is so young now. If he was really seduced by Princess Huyan of Beiting, he would have lost his virginity at an early age, and his life would be ruined.
The people of Beiting really have the heart to kill!
Emperor Jingwen then looked at his other sons, including the eldest prince. Anyone who was caught in his sight could not help but become very nervous.
Although beautiful women are beautiful, they are not lucky enough to enjoy them.
Keeping her in the backyard is unsafe, and marrying her as the principal wife would mean cutting off their path to further advancement. It is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it, so it is better to leave this good thing to my father.
Emperor Jingwen read this meaning from the looks of his sons: “…”
For the first time in his life, Emperor Jingwen experienced the pain of forcing women into his harem.
Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to finally decide to take the princess into the harem.
After all, she was a princess who symbolised the diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the end, Emperor Jingwen conferred her the title of Ronghua, a fourth-rank official, which was neither too high nor too low, and gave an explanation to Beiting without being particularly formal.
If nothing unexpected happens, Princess Huyan will have to stay in Ronghua’s position for the rest of her life.
It would be fine if she could live a peaceful life. The palace does not need her. Her status is there, and Emperor Jingwen will not treat her unfairly.
But if she is restless, that’s another story.
The Queen, on the other hand, could not help but feel a pity in her heart. She was thinking that it would be better if the princess asked to marry the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince is now eleven years old, and the princess is already twenty years old. The nine-year age difference between them is actually nothing. If Beiting insists, if it succeeds, the Ninth Prince will be crippled.
Based on what the Ninth Prince had done before, Beiting would definitely find ways to avenge him, and destroying the Ninth Prince would be a piece of cake by then.
Unfortunately, Emperor Jingwen loved his son very much. Beiting had just been shocked and did not dare to provoke Da Zhou again. Princess Huyan was very prudent and did not dare to mention it at all.
In Princess Huyan’s mind, even if she became a concubine, what would it matter? This additional identity would not hinder her actions.
After all, Princess Huyan was married to a foreign prince, and the Beiting envoy had done such a thing in Shangjing City before. The Sitianjian didn’t even give her a good day, but just randomly picked a day, and then Princess Huyan was carried from the post house to the palace in a sedan chair.
The Beiting envoys who escorted the princess to the capital had never suffered such an insult, but because of what happened before, they dared not say anything.
When the people in the capital saw this scene, they felt extremely happy.
Seeing this group of people, the brave ones even dared to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at them in the street.
The emperor’s attitude determines the attitude of the court to a certain extent, and the attitude of the court determines the courage of the people.
Last time, the emperor said to kill the guards of the post station, and he killed them all in one breath. Rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were really not a big deal, so the Jingzhao Yin only took symbolic care of it and turned a blind eye to it.
After so many years, the people in Shangjing City finally got their revenge.
The people know clearly what foundation all this is built on.
Because they won the battle, and why did they win the battle? The answer is self-evident.
When the eldest prince returned with his troops, his majestic and vigorous appearance as he sat on horseback was seen by most of the people in the capital.
The envoys from Beiting were upset but helpless. Finally, after sending the princess to the palace, they left in disgrace.
On the other hand, after Princess Huyan entered the palace, the Queen treated her very well at first, and it would not be an exaggeration to even describe her as friendly.
The queen completely ignored the identity of the enemy princess and believed that the Ninth Prince killed their Major General, so Beiting must be resentful. It was also because of the Ninth Prince that Emperor Jingwen ordered the killing of so many of their guards, and it was also because of the Ninth Prince that Beiting suffered such a great humiliation.
The enemy of my enemy should be my friend.
However, what the Queen did not know was that although Beiting hated the Ninth Prince and would kill him if given the chance, Beiting’s target had never been a single person, but the entire Great Zhou.
The more chaotic the Great Zhou and the Chen Kingdom are, the more beneficial it will be to Beiting.
Princess Huyan noticed the Queen’s thoughts in time, so she went with the flow and pretended to be at odds with the Ninth Prince, taking the opportunity to get close to the Queen.
What the queen didn’t know was that the ally she thought she had, one day, by chance, saw the little prince playing there alone.
Princess Huyan’s mind moved, and she slowly squatted down in front of the little prince.
