Chapter 8: Soldier Talisman

Seeing Eunuch Qin coming with the imperial doctor, the emperor said slowly: "Go to Shangshu Liu's house and deliver my oral message: Third Miss Liu Qing is a virtuous and virtuous woman with a beautiful heart, outstanding appearance, and a good match from heaven. I am very happy, especially She was betrothed to the third prince as the princess. The etiquette has been completed, and she has been the concubine since then."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qin hurried forward, bent down and answered: "Yes."

The emperor looked at Murong Qing and Pei Mo who were kneeling aside, with his eyes secretive: "Princess Qinglan and the general of the country are blessed with a perfect marriage. Special gifts: thousands of taels of gold, thousands of pieces of silk and satin, and a pair of Ruyi jade."

Pei Mo and Murong Qing said at the same time: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at the people in the palace and couldn't help but think of what Pei Mo said about the soldiers in the southern border.

He thought for a moment and then slowly said: "The Queen of the Southern Territory has a good way of teaching the daughter, and trains the troops well. She is stationed in the Southern Territory all the year round, and she protects the people of Li and live a healthy life. This has won my heart. I am specially named the King of the Southern Territory, and I am in charge of the troops and horses of the Southern Territory. I will give you the military talisman, and the prince will inherit the title. Three days later, there will be a banquet in the imperial dining room, and I want to celebrate the king of the South Territory specially."

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the kneeling eyes widened in surprise.

The King of the Southern Realm, this is the only prince among the four realms!

The others are all Marquis!

They even let the King of the Southern Territory take control of the Southern Territory soldiers and horses, and gave him military talismans, which was unprecedented!

Even Murong Qing never thought that His Majesty would suddenly award such a large reward, but she was not at all happy, only feeling uneasy.

Since ancient times, emperors have been afraid of excessive power in the hands of soldiers, but now they are giving military talismans, which is really unpredictable.

What's more, now that the southern one among the four realms has been named a prince, it will definitely attract dissatisfaction from the other three realms.

But the emperor has made his word, and once the words of reward have been spoken, there is no reason to take them back!

Just as she was thinking about it, Concubine Xuan spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Southern Realm King... this reward is too much? Why don't you give me some silver?"

After all, Murong Qing and Sheng Xiuyan were no longer destined to be together, so receiving such an award from the Southern Territory was not something that all officials would like to see.

Naturally, this is not what their mother and son are happy to see!

The emperor's face immediately darkened: "The emperor has made a promise, how can he take it back?"

Concubine Xuan hurriedly knelt down and said in panic: "I am the concubine who made a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The hall was silent for a moment, and there was no sound.

"Everyone, get up!" The emperor suddenly said, then stood up to help Murong Qing and Pei Mo, with a smile on his face: "The princess and the general of the country are really talented and beautiful, no wonder they are blessed by God. But after this, I'm afraid that the King of Southern Territory will also be worried about what happened, so the princess must appease the old prince."

Murong Qing bowed his knees and performed the Wanfu salute: "Yes."

The matter of the wrong marriage was settled, and the emperor left Dexuan Palace without staying long. Eunuch Qin hurriedly followed, and ordered people to go to Liu Shangshu Mansion and Nanjing Hou Mansion to deliver oral instructions.

Murong Qing, Pei Mo, and Liu Qing left together after the emperor left.

Only Sheng Xiuyan was left in the palace by Concubine Xuan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After rejecting the maids and eunuchs of Dexuan Palace, Sheng Xiuyan smashed all the porcelain cups on the table to the ground.

"Bitch! This bitch!"

"Thanks to all the time I spent trying to please her, she doesn't want to change it back today! Bitch!"

"Pei Mo! You are trying to steal a woman from me, you are seeking death!"

"You are just a minister, but I am the prince! The third prince of the Dashun Dynasty!"

…

Sheng Xiuyan couldn't control his anger, smashed things and cursed angrily.

Concubine Xuan didn't stop her, as if she was already accustomed to Sheng Xiuyan's temperament.

It wasn't until he finished his anger and sat down that Concubine Xuan spoke slowly: "Your Majesty is really reckless today. How can you force a change even though you know His Majesty is already displeased?"

After hearing this, Sheng Xiuyan clenched the armrests of the chair with both hands, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and his dark eyes were full of ruthlessness: "Others don't know why, but doesn't the mother understand her son? The soldiers and horses in the southern border are strong, and he is the strongest among the four realms!"

If I can win over the King of the Southern Territory, I can fight against the two emperor brothers in the future!"

I felt even more angry when I thought that not only could I not replace Murong Qing back today, but I even made Long Yan furious.

"My father is really stupid. He didn't even help his son. How could he comply with Pei Mo's wishes? He even gave the King of Southern Territory an official title!" Sheng Xiuyan gritted his teeth in annoyance, especially when he thought about the emperor actually doing this in front of him.

He reprimanded him in front of others.

It really makes him lose face!

Concubine Xuan frowned: "Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense. You can just say this here, Queen Mother. Don't say another word when you leave the house!"

Sheng Xiuyan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I understand."

But when I thought about missing out on the support of the Nanjing Hou Mansion, I couldn't help but feel worried.

Most of the troops of the Dashun Dynasty were in Jingzhou and the three borders of east, south and north.

Although there are soldiers and horses in the Western Region, they are very few. The emphasis here is on merchants and farmland.

He couldn't win over the troops in Jingzhou, and he didn't have the courage. The Eastern Territory was the queen's natal family, so she would naturally obey the orders of the second prince in the future.

The only ones left are the southern border and the northern border!

The Northern Territory was once under the jurisdiction of the Pei family. Now, although the Marquis of the Northern Territory is no longer a member of the Pei family, he was still trained by the Pei family, so he naturally serves Pei Mo.

As for Pei Mo, there is no need to think about it. He was named the general of the country at a young age, so he is naturally arrogant. Now that this happened again, he cannot win over him.

After this calculation, only the southern border is left...

Sheng Xiuyan narrowed his eyes: "No! Murong Qing, I can't give up, let alone the southern border!"

Although he didn't like Murong Qing, he even hated her carefree nature and thought she didn't have the gentle and shy look of a daughter.

But there is no other way but to start with her!

"As expected of the royal son of his mother, he knows that he cannot give up on this southern territory."

Concubine Xuan stood up, brought the tea beside him and put it down. She said with a smile: "From the mother's point of view, Murong Qing is just unwilling to change because of his face, but in fact he still has feelings for you. Your Majesty, this is

As smart as you are, you should know what to do to make her fall in love with you."

After speaking, he slowly sat down on the chair next to Sheng Xiuyan.

"If it weren't for the fact that she is the daughter of the King of the South, the queen mother would not want her to marry you as your main wife. What's more, now that she is not innocent, how can she be worthy of the emperor? It would be better not to change her back.

Save yourself the trouble of dirtying the emperor’s body!”

Sheng Xiuyan took a sip of tea and nodded: "That's true, I just care about her identity. She is just a woman who has lost her virginity, how can I want her!"

However, I never expected that Pei Mo's body could actually perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou.

He looks like he won't live long!

Suddenly, a plan came into his mind, and he quickly got up after thinking about it over and over.

"Mother, my sons and ministers will leave first and come to the palace another day to pay their respects."

Seeing the smile on his face, Concubine Xuan guessed that she had thought of a way, so she took off a hairpin from her head with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that the princess has been confirmed, Miss Liu San, although her status is humble, she still needs her.

Coax her to prevent her from causing trouble. What's more, this can be considered as winning over Liu Shangshu. It's better to have one more person than one less person."

She put the hairpin in Sheng Xiuyan's hand.

"This hairpin was a reward from His Majesty a few days ago, so give it to her."

Sheng Xiuyan is also a smart man, so he knows what to do: "My son, I understand."
