Chu Yunning rolled his eyes, he should have arrived near the West Sea by now.
"Your Majesty, it would actually be good for us to talk to Xihai."
She fought for it again without giving up.
Emperor Mingwen looked determined: "No, I don't want to deal with the second Princess Yu'an."
These words immediately left Chu Yunning with no reason to refute.
Been convinced.
Emperor Mingwen added: "An Ning, when a group of women compete for a woman, there will be many disputes, and conspiracies will be hard to guard against."
"Huh?" Chu Yunning looked at him strangely.
I always feel that this is not what an emperor should say.
Which emperor doesn't like the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards?
Even the most infatuated emperors in history always had more than one person by their side.
Chu Yunning looked Emperor Mingwen up and down, secretly wondering if there was something wrong with him?
It shouldn't be.
All the poison in his body was released, and he returned to the state that a normal person should have.
Why aren't you interested in women?
Do you like Yangzhou Skinny Horse?
Emperor Mingwen looked at Chu Yunning with changing eyes, sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy, looking up and down from time to time.
"Aning, what are you thinking about?"
Chu Yunning shook her head and muttered that she shouldn't.
"What man doesn't like to be surrounded by colorful flowers, but the Emperor is different."
It's a man who wants to take a concubine when he has some money in his pocket.
I'm afraid I'll be delayed for a day.
Emperor Mingwen cleared his throat and explained: "I have grown up in the harem since I was a child. I am used to intrigues and intrigues. My mother escaped death several times. If it weren't for good luck, I would not be where I am today. After I ascended the throne, I became even more fed up with those in the harem of my previous dynasty.
Nepotism is unclear, so I envy those monogamous people, such as General Chu and Mrs. Chu."
Chu Yunning suddenly realized that it was because of the shadow left in her heart when she was a child that she resisted women.
Also, if you are tired of seeing the warblers in the harem, it will no longer be new.
"Aning, what kind of life do you like?"
Emperor Mingwen asked anxiously.
Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment: "Probably like my father."
A brave and resourceful man who is not just a mama's boy but loves his wife and children is hard to find in this feudal era.
Hearing this, Emperor Mingwen's eyes were filled with a faint smile.
"Aning?"
Chu Yunning stopped again and looked back at him with confusion on his face. Emperor Mingwen said seriously: "I can also do what General Chu did."
After a long time, Chu Yunning nodded: "I believe the emperor can do it."
The two have known each other for so long, but she still believed in Emperor Mingwen's character and what he said he would definitely do.
Just then Eunuch Mo hurried over: "Your Majesty, Xihai has sent an envoy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Mingwen's face suddenly darkened, his eyes were like knives, and Eunuch Mo was so frightened that his legs went weak on the spot.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Eunuch Mo kept recalling in his mind whether he had done anything wrong in the past few days. After thinking about it, he really couldn't think of anything.
"Where is he?" Chu Yunning asked first, "Have you brought the princess with you?"
When it came to marrying the princess, Eunuch Mo suddenly came to his senses and wished he could give himself a slap in the face for talking too much!
But the words had already reached this point, and Eunuch Mo could only bite the bullet and say: "I came with the princess."
"How many people?"
Eunuch Mo's scalp went numb when he heard this, and with a fiery look in his eyes he said: "Two wedding princesses."
Chu Yunning understood and said to Emperor Mingwen: "Since he is so sincere, you might as well meet him.
Anyway, we won’t suffer any loss, those who can be sent from the West Sea must be absolutely beautiful.”
"Aning, have you forgotten what I just said to you?" Emperor Mingwen pursed his lips tightly, he didn't want to fail.
Chu Yunning smiled and blinked: "It's not just men who have the right to appreciate beauty."
She couldn't wait to see the two married princesses of Xihai, but Emperor Mingwen grabbed Chu Yunning's wrist and said every word very seriously: "Aning, I already have someone I like in my heart, and others can't get in."
I don't want her to be wronged, so I can't agree to the marriage.
.”
Chu Yunning couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you so serious, Your Majesty? It's not like you have to get married."
, you have many generals who are not yet married."
"Yes, Chu Shanggong is still smart!" Eunuch Mo felt like he was alive again.
"Since Xihai Kingdom wants to show goodwill, why don't we accept it? One more friend is better than one more enemy."
Chu Yunning even thought about which general in his mind, and said to Eunuch Mo: "Let Vice General Li and Vice General Wen clean up. I'll see you in half an hour."
"Hey, slave, let's go right now!" Eunuch Mo ran away quickly.
Emperor Mingwen softened his expression, let go of her wrist, cleared his throat and continued: "Aning, don't be so naughty next time."
I was almost scared to death by Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning tilted her head and couldn't help but laugh: "That's because you have misunderstood. I have thought so from the beginning to the end. Would your Majesty want to go with me to see the two beauties in the West Sea?"
"No need." Emperor Mingwen hummed, raised his feet and left first.
At that time, there were already a bunch of people standing in the hall. Two of them were graceful women, scantily clad, with heavy makeup and veils on their faces, half-covering their hazy beauty.
Isn't this an exotic beauty?
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, full of charm.
"Chu Shang Palace!"
When the guard saw Chu Yunning coming, he immediately saluted. At this time, everyone looked at her. Chu Yunning waved his hand: "No need to be polite, what do you call the two princesses?"
"This is Princess Donana, and this is Princess Lifang." The envoy introduced.
Chu Yunning understood clearly and went straight to the point: "Tell me, the purpose of your coming."
The two princesses probably didn't expect Chu Yunning to be so direct, so they asked again: "Who are you? We want to meet the Emperor of Nanduan."
"I'm sorry, it's not convenient for the Emperor to meet guests, so I'll do it for you." Chu Yunning said, slowly sitting at the top of the table; "If the two princesses come to get married, there are only two ways now, either from Hao'erlang at the south end.
Choose one of them, and she will be your real wife after you marry her, no need to look at other people’s faces.”
"We are going to marry the emperor!" Princess Donana said.
Chu Yunning's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty does not want to marry. So far, only the soldiers from the south end have made peace.
If you don't want to, you can go back the way you came."
"You!" Princess Donana, perhaps not expecting Chu Yunning to have such a tough attitude, looked at each other with her sister.
"You two should think carefully about the marriage princess who was sent back a few days ago. Even if she goes back, what kind of reputation will she bear and what will happen if she loses her use value."
Chu Yunning said slowly, holding tea leisurely in her hand.
"Aren't you afraid that we will unite with other countries?" Princess Donana threatened.
"Haha!" Chu Yunning laughed, placed the tea cup heavily on the table, made a bang, and then sneered: "Here, let's see you off!"
Princess Donana was scared, so she winked at her younger sister, Princess Lifang. Princess Lifang immediately said: "Chu Shanggong, my sister is outspoken. Don't take it to heart. Since you have come to get married, why would you go back?"
.”
Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows.
"Chu Shanggong, we sisters must be the head wives."
This can be regarded as recognition of Chu Yunning's words.
It happened that Eunuch Mo also came back, Chu Yunning raised his chin, and Eunuch Mo immediately walked in with the two lieutenants.
Because they haven't explained their purpose of coming, the two lieutenants were still confused until Chu Yunning said: "Vice General Li, Vice General Wen, the emperor plans to marry you two."
"Is this such a good thing?" Vice General Li's eyes lit up.
Vice General Wen was more reserved and his face flushed slightly.
Chu Yunning pointed at the two princesses at Vice General Li. Vice General Li's legs softened and he was frightened: "Chu Shang Palace, this is not a joke."
How could a rough old man like him be worthy of this princess?
"This is Lieutenant General Li. He has been guarding the border for decades. He has made great achievements in battle, is loyal and honest, and has accumulated a lot of wealth."
Vice General Li immediately nodded and said, "That's right, I have money and a big house."
Chu Yunning smiled, but it was hard for Lieutenant General Li. He had been guarding the border for so many years without a caring person around him.
Vice General Wen raised his hand: "I also have money and a big house, enough for two people to have enough food and clothing."
So Donana fell in love with Lieutenant General Li, and Princess Lifang fell in love with Lieutenant General Wen. The two marriages were successfully completed.
"The emperor will be very happy to know this. Chu Shanggong, you are really the emperor's pistachio." Eunuch Mo gave Chu Yunning a thumbs up.
Emperor Mingwen knew that the matter was done, and with a wave of his hand, he generously promised to give Vice-General Li and Vice-General Wen each a large house, and also had people arrange weddings.
"Perhaps the military camp has not been so lively for a long time." Emperor Mingwen wanted to take this opportunity to liven things up.
Chu Yunning also agrees with this.
"We just have to wait until the rumors in the city are settled before we can hold the wedding. It's time to find the deposed prince."
…
Prince Yunlan was hiding in Tibet. He was in such a miserable state that he had to compete with dogs for food. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Suddenly a group of people fell from the sky and directly surrounded them.
"Isn't this the abandoned prince Yunlan?"
"I'm not, you got the wrong person!" Prince Yunlan immediately covered his face with his sleeves, trying to escape.
The guards did not chase him, but teased him like a cat and a mouse. They waited until Prince Yunlan was exhausted before knocking him unconscious and carrying him back.
He was given a new gold silk dress and his former wealth was restored.
Prince Yunlan felt uneasy until he saw Chu Yunning, staring straight at her with his eyes.
There was unabashed obscenity in his eyes.
"Pa!" Emperor Mingwen raised his hand and slapped him so hard that Prince Yunlan's eyes flashed with stars and he was stunned.
"You will never change your character!" Chu Yunning sneered. No wonder so many of his subordinates betrayed the deposed prince. He was the one who was talking about a good hand of cards!
"What do you want to do by arresting the orphans?" Prince Yunlan's heart rang with alarm bells, and he stared blankly at the people in front of him.
"I'm just keeping you here for a few days."
Chu Yunning really didn't like this coward prince, and waved his hands at his subordinates: "Watch him, don't allow him to run around. If you find any abnormal behavior, just break his legs!"
"yes!"
Prince Yunlan was frightened by Chu Yunning's viciousness and swallowed nervously: "Who are you?"
Chu Yunning didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so she stood up and left.
two days later
There is a rumor in Yangcheng that it was the prince of Yunlan who colluded with Yangcheng Prefecture Yin to lose without a fight and deliberately opened the city gate to let in the southern army.
Moreover, Fu Yin also collected beauties for Prince Yunlan, not Emperor Nanduan.
For a while, some people began to question the authenticity.
"It must be true. The deposed prince has been lustful for a day or two. He has ruined so many people in the place he passed by."
"right."
After a few days of fermentation, the topic gradually turned to the deposed prince.
Hui Lu was also under the same roof as the deposed prince. As soon as he heard that the deposed prince was here, he immediately felt uneasy and quietly went to find Emperor Mingwen.
Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows: "Let him wait."
"Your Majesty, people like Hui Lu don't regret dying. Once they have a chance to breathe, they will do evil again."
Hui Lu, the dog-headed strategist, has no use value anymore. It would be a disaster to keep him, so he must die.
"Do you know Hui Lu's true identity?" Emperor Mingwen asked.
Chu Yunning shook her head.
"Hui Lu's biological mother is from Yunlan, but his father is the Dongling Emperor. He himself was not tolerated by the Dongling royal family, so he changed his name and joined his mother's family. After years of operation, Emperor Dongling has become very fond of him.
Trusted.”
"There is still such a thing."
No wonder Hui Lu was kept.
Chu Yunning suddenly realized: "In other words, Hui Lu is deliberately encouraging the deposed prince to fight, and then disrupt Yunlan's internal affairs to win the trust of Emperor Dongling!"
"Yeah!" Emperor Mingwen nodded: "If you want to blame it, it's because the deposed prince was too stupid and fell into Hui Lu's trap!"
The deposed prince is here today only because of his own fault.
"Then what are the emperor's plans?" Chu Yunning always felt that Emperor Mingwen would not be so kind to take Hui Lu in, and there must be other uses.
"Donngling bullied you many times, of course I want a big gift in return." Emperor Mingwen said with a smile, and handed her a plate of walnut cakes on the table: "Try it, it's newly made."
Chu Yunning took it and took a small bite. It was crispy and tasted very good.
"How about letting Tangling fight among itself?"
"How to fight among ourselves?"
"I can lend troops to Hui Lu. Yunlan can no longer accommodate Hui Lu. Emperor Dongling may not fully trust him, but compared to Prince Nancheng, Emperor Dongling is definitely willing to support Huilu. Huilu
I also want to gain a foothold in Dongling, and I will definitely use all my strength to deal with the Crown Prince of Nancheng."
Emperor Mingwen poured another cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "What do you think?"
Chu Yunning drank more than half of the cup of tea and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Emperor will make the final decision on this matter."
After waiting for almost an hour, Emperor Mingwen received Huilu, but Chu Yuning had already retreated to the back. Huilu knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Emperor Nanduan, for taking me in these days. I think this place may not be suitable for me..."
"Do you want to go back to Tangling?"
Hui Lu was startled and his expression flashed, "What is the emperor saying? Why can't I understand it? There is always a place for me in the world."
"Stop pretending, you are the sixth prince of Dongling."
Hui Lu was stunned when his identity was revealed.
