My father was a top loser.
After almost defeating the state of Chu, he tried in vain to give birth to a prince to clean up the mess for him.
God opened his eyes and told him to give birth to more than forty daughters in one go.
He was so angry that he left the house directly.
But no one expected that in the end, it was this group of daughters who he felt useless who kept the country of Chu for him.
1
My grandfather was a good emperor who worked hard, and it was precisely because of his strong ability that my father's cowardly personality led to his cowardly character.
When I was born, the state of Chu was already defeated by my father.
My father wanted to have a prince inherit the unification, but his own ability was not good, and hundreds of concubines in the harem gave birth to more than 40 imperial sisters.
After giving birth to me, my father finally gave birth to a baby boy from the clan.
Since then, he has been more indulged in pleasure and does not care about state affairs.
On the day of my first birthday banquet, the Qi State bombarded our two cities, and the soldiers outside the gate trembled and reported, and the hundred officials hid their faces and cried bitterly, while my father and the emperor hugged me and waved his hand indifferently, "Shen Qing will do it." 」
Land cession and compensation.
Over the years, the Chu State has suffered countless defeats, all of which have been dealt with in this way, and occasionally they have to send the princess Heqin.
Of the more than 40 imperial sisters I have, less than five of them are still in the palace.
The eldest sister was very favored by her father when she was young, and when the news of her relatives came, she was angry and resisted, and she heard that it was very troublesome, and finally was pressed into the sedan chair by her father himself.
The twelve imperial sisters have the talent to govern the world, and the scholars of the dynasty admired them and praised them, "If it is not for the body of a woman, it will be able to stabilize the country." 」
The twenty-fifth imperial sister has learned a good martial arts, and she once quietly went out with the army, slashing hundreds of enemy troops.
The thirty-six imperial sisters, who are inseparable from her, are not weaker than any military advisor in their wisdom and warfare.
They all made countless efforts to save the state of Chu and assist their father, but in the end, they were all sent by him as gifts to make amends.
He said that the girls' families should take care of the filthy things and that the ministers should take care of them.
He felt that leading troops to fight was something that men should do, and that princesses were not allowed to participate.
Everyone knows that in the Chu State, the only role of being a princess is to be friendly.
My father loves pleasure very much, and although he doesn't know about state affairs, he has a good voice.
In the palace of Chu State, there are a large number of singing and dancing music girls, servants and plays, as well as all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, and the father and emperor design palace drawings for them and personally supervise the work.
Except for not being an emperor, everything else seems to be doing very well.
Fine poetry, good at singing, and even carpentry, astronomy and other strange and ingenious skills are involved.
He was a good father to all the princesses until they came of age.
He will teach calligraphy and painting by hand, and will also take us to ride tigers and shoot leopards, and even cook by himself.
I often think that maybe it's because of this that the royal sisters are always reluctant to hate him.
The Fourth Emperor Sister is the only princess who has not been sent out to kiss after she has reached adulthood, she always holds my hand and chatters to me, "Yue'er, don't blame your father, my father is actually not easy. 」
I looked at her coarse linen clothes and her face that looked a little rough without powder all year round, and pouted in retort,
"Father is doing well, he just hunted a deer yesterday to prepare for the roast deer feast, and rewarded the dancers with a large box of pearls, he is much better than you. 」
The Fourth Emperor Sister twisted the Buddha beads in her hand and said with a faint smile, "You are still young. 」
Although the four emperor sisters escaped the fate of their relatives, they lived in the temple in the palace and became nuns.
I was young and curious, and I always wanted to find out why, but she wouldn't say anything.
2
My name is Li Mingyue, and I am the youngest princess of Chu State.
My half-brother, Li Yuanjia, was the prince of the Chu State.
Although Li Yuanjia is not born to my father, his bun temper is very similar to him.
I often blame Li Yuanjia for the trouble I caused, and he didn't know how to refute, so he knew that he looked at me aggrievedly with a bag of tears, like a rabbit.
I was worried when I looked at it, and turned my head to pull Shen Yanqing's sleeve,
"It's over, our old Li family has no hope, Shen Yanqing, let your father rebel quickly, it's all from the Chu State, it's better than being destroyed by outsiders. 」
Shen Yanqing is the only son of Shen Xiang and was sent to the palace for Li Yuanjia to read as a companion.
Shen Xiang has been signing various indemnity agreements for my father all year round, and he is notorious.
"The princess is cautious. 」
He took a step back and looked at me with displeasure.
Like his father, he always kept a straight face, as if someone owed him money.
3
"Li Yuanjia, that's right! That's it! Come here!"
"Uh...... I can't, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, sister, I'm afraid......
"Be brave! you can!"
Li Yuanjia was timid, and in order to train him, I asked him to walk on the roof and practice his courage.
As soon as he went up, he didn't dare to get up on his stomach, and I coaxed for a long time before I could barely stand up.
I just insisted on it, "Puff-"
It's over, and I fell......
Li Yuanjia fell his leg, and I was locked up by the queen.
My father is now addicted to alchemy, and everything in the harem has been handed over to the queen, and Li Yuanjia is raised under the queen's knees, so naturally the baby is not good.
My mother was born very beautiful, and she was still very favored in the early years, but unfortunately my father lost interest in beauty when he was old and began to pursue the way of immortality, and my mother also fell out of favor.
I'm also a regular visitor to the confinement room.
In the past, the queen has always looked at the mother concubine unpleasantly, even with me is not pleasing to the eye, after the mother concubine fell out of favor, she has been staring at the mistake of catching me, and every three or five times she will bring me in and close a pass.
For example, yawning when you say goodbye, and behaving rudely during a meal can be a reason to shut me up.
I retorted to her, "My father doesn't care about me about that. 」
She snorted coldly, "Then you go to your father. 」
My father cultivated the Taoist temple and practiced the art of immortality in retreat, but no one saw him.
Under the condescension, you can only endure.
As for the concubine......? The only thing the mother can do is beauty.
4
In the middle of the night, someone dragged his legs and limped to bring me food.
"Imperial sister, eat quickly, the hibiscus cake I secretly hidden. 」
Li Yuanjia handed me in through the gap in the confinement room and carefully wrapped it in a silk handkerchief.
Seeing that I was hesitating, he hurriedly added, "Sister Huang, don't worry, I took it after washing my hands, and I made sure it was clean." 」
It's still like a frightened rabbit.
I pouted helplessly, "Does my leg still hurt?"
He grinned, "It doesn't hurt at all. 」
When he spoke, he pulled the wound, and immediately bared his teeth in pain.
I sighed,
"So stupid that you can't even lie. 」
After Li Yuanjia left, I held the pastry and smiled and said,
"If I come out now, I can leave you a piece of hibiscus cake. 」
A figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
Shen Yanqing.
I reached for the oil-paper bag he was carrying.
Spiced beef, shortbread, and grapes, not bad.
I said to Shen Yanqing while gnawing, "You are really strange, you follow Li Yuanjia every time, why don't you go together?"
Shen Yanqing didn't speak, and silently watched me finish eating.
Seeing that he was finishing up the scraps and preparing to leave, I stopped him.
"Father...... Have you returned to the palace?"
He paused, and spoke in his characteristic cold voice,
"Nope. 」
Expected answer.
Father is real...... Leave us alone.
5
This time it was closed for a while longer.
When I was released, the queen changed her usual and looked at me with a smile on her face, laughing so hard that I was hairy.
I asked Li Yuanjia with my eyes, [What's the situation?]
Li Yuanjia also looked confused, [I don't know. 】
In the past, she always had a look of desire to kill me immediately, but now the two poles are reversed, which is really unbearable.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Sure enough, after a few words, the fox's tail was revealed.
"Mingyue, the prince of Qi will come to Chu to study in the near future, and this palace thinks that you are of the same age, and you will definitely be able to play together, so you will do your best on behalf of the palace. 」
I see.
It is said that the prince of Qi is perverse and violent, moody.
She didn't think that the prince of Qi Guo could take a fancy to me and marry the two countries, right?
I did inherit the only advantage of my mother - beauty, which is also the reason why I dare to make some fools in the palace.
After all, as the princess of Chu State, the only value is to be friendly, so of course, the beautiful princess will be more valuable, and she will have more bargaining chips when negotiating.
So no matter how much trouble I make, the queen will not want my life, at most I will be hungry for a few more days.
6
Qi is the most powerful, and in less than ten years, it annexed the two major powers of Han and Zhao, and the original situation of the five great powers was broken, and now only the Yan State can barely compete with it.
The state of Chu has accumulated for many years, the territory is the widest, and it is also the richest, and the emperor's grandfather was still talking about opening up the territory and unifying the country before his death, but he gave birth to his father, the top loser.
Today's Chu State has been encroached upon, cowering in the gap between Qi and Yan, like a fig leaf before the two countries tore their faces.
After all, as long as the State of Chu is still there, Qi and Yan will not be head-on, and will only carve up the State of Chu first.
So, the queen wants to take the initiative to show favor to the Qi country?
Also, in addition to the big countries, some small countries are also becoming more and more emboldened, repeatedly harassing them at the border.
The treasury is empty, the money is taken by the emperor to cultivate Taoism, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how brave and good the soldiers are, there is no food, grass, no arms, and a fart.
The state of Chu was defeated little by little like this.
7
The queen's abacus is very good, but I don't think the prince of Qi is a fool.
No, she carefully sent me to the door of the post house, and I waited from morning to noon sun, and I didn't even see a single person.
There was a bunch of ornaments on my head, and the jingle bells weighed down my neck.
The first battle was unsuccessful, and the queen was very angry.
I persuaded her, "Maybe Qi Shizi has a unique taste and doesn't like my one?"
The queen thought about it, it was this reason.
Then a banquet was held, and all the princesses, county lords, and even official ladies were called, and they all dressed up well.
Many young ladies asked me privately, is the queen going to choose a concubine for the crown prince?
I glanced at Li Yuanjia, who was immersed in hard reading, "It's a fart. 」
"Ah, what did you say, Imperial Sister?"
Li Yuanjia looked up and looked at me in confusion.
I slapped it down, "Ahhhh 」
Shen Yanqing smiled silently on the side.
He seems to be in a good mood lately, and his face is not so stiff.
I grabbed him by the collar and leaned in.
"Shen Yanqing, the prince of Qi didn't take a fancy to me, are you very happy?"
The first time I was so close to him, I was stunned, I didn't expect this guy's eyelashes to be so good-looking, quite curvy, trembling and trembling.
Before he could come back to his senses, he pushed me away and walked straight out.
嘁,傲娇男。
"Sister Huang, you have made Brother Shen lightly!" Li Yuanjia propped up his big head and said excitedly.
I picked up the book in my hand and smashed it, "Carry your book! 」
Li Yuanjia held the book aggrievedly,
「皇姐...... 这本是《女诫》。 」
「……」
I threw it away without even reading it, who put it? Why is there such a book in the prince's study!
「...... Carry it for your future daughter-in-law!"
8
The prince of Qi is sick, really sick.
The queen took great pains to arrange a large garden of Huan Fei Yan and Thin, and various types of beauties performed one by one, singing and dancing, and they were very busy.
As a result, the guy squatted to the side and watched the monkeys.
Well, the golden monkey, my father made a special trip to Emei Mountain to catch it.
However, since he began to cultivate Taoism, these monkeys have fallen out of favor and are locked in cages in the imperial garden, occasionally feeding them something to eat.
The more he watched it, the more addicted he became, and in the end, he talked to the queen about whether he could give him one, and he really liked it.
The queen almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and the old lady prepared a garden of beautiful girls for you, but you fell in love with a monkey?
Due to her identity, the queen reluctantly waved her hand and asked her to send the monkey home for the prince.
A banquet turned into a joke.
Clear-eyed people know that the prince of Qi Guo deliberately slapped the queen in the face.
But only I know that this guy is really sick.
Because, the night after the feast, he ran to my dormitory with a monkey.
9
At that moment, I was very glad that I had a stupid brother.
According to the usual point, this is my time to take a bath and wash up, but recently Li Yuanjia can't finish memorizing the book, so I have to keep an eye on him, and even postponing the washing up a little.
I calmly invited him to sit down, and even poured him a cup of tea.
"I don't know the son...... What do you do?"
He actually smiled shyly,
"Jin Jin is hungry, but he is a little reluctant to eat what I feed, and I want to find someone he knows to make a transition. 」
I was stunned, "Uh...... Jin Jin?"
"That's him. He happily took the monkey by the paw, and was grabbed hard, but he didn't care.
I was silent for a while, this monkey has been domesticated in the palace for a long time, what did he do to make it crazy?
"This palace will ask people to find the person in charge of domesticating them. 」
"No need," he interrupted me, "I sent those people away, they were too rude to treat Jin Jin as a human being. 」
I glanced at "Jin Jin", and it really wasn't personal.
"What is the son of the world going to do?"
He grinned, "During the day, Ben Shizi saw so many people, and you looked at it quite well, and Ben Shizi decided to take Jin Jin to live with you, you look like Jin Jin, he should like you very much......
Damn! What a bad thing! You look like a monkey! Your whole family is a monkey!
"Groan——"
I picked up the cup on the table and threw it into the corner where the laughter was emanating.
Saiyoko: "?"
I smiled, "It's nothing, there's a mouse there, and this palace chases the mouse." 」
My dormitory is next to Li Yuanjia's dormitory, and if there is a movement here, he will naturally know about it quickly.
Shen Mouse, who was hiding in the corner, rubbed his smashed thighs, it was so dangerous, it was almost there.
10
Thanks to the neurotic son of Qi Kingdom, this princess has become the laughing stock of the whole palace and even the whole world.
- The little princess of Chu looks like a monkey.
This news spread quickly to several major countries, and there was no shortage of envoys from several countries who visited Chu State, just to see if I looked like a monkey.
And the culprit is living in the palace next door to me, trying to throw the stinky monkey in my direction.
The queen finally didn't completely dazed, and when Qi Shizi asked to live with me, she finally showed her responsibility as the mother of the country.
"Son, this is not in accordance with etiquette. 」
Although it is not very polite to live next door to me, it is a compromise choice after a few pulls.
Qi Shizi's name is Qi Xuan, and he came to Chu this time to study abroad.
Although the state of Chu is erosive, it has a good foundation in literature, and there are many famous masters.
Because of the consideration of the pen and ink articles of these literati, Qi and Yan were not in a hurry to be ruthless to the Chu State, but sent people to ask for advice and seek talent many times, intending to win over.
Qi Xuan is probably also for this this time.
11
"Jin Jin, go find my sister. 」
Damn, the neuropathy is here again......
Goddamn Qi Xuan, he had to call me sister with that monkey, and every day before dawn, he pulled that stinky monkey into my temple, saying that he wanted to say goodbye to me.
I am such a princess, and I am forced by him to run on the beams of the house every day.
I don't know what method he used, but the monkey seemed to gradually understand what he said, and would bring him tea and beat his back.
The monkey is a lot more obedient, but when I see him, he is still subconsciously like running up the beam, not for anything else, Qi Xuan, he doesn't pull the rope!
But I still underestimated his bad taste.
"Jin Jin, my sister told you to go up and play, go up and find my sister. 」
It turns out that the monkeys climbed the beams much faster than me.
When that furry paw was about to hit me, I couldn't resist and fell down screaming.
Just when I was worried about whether it would be a broken appearance or a broken leg, a white shadow flashed.
I was saved.
Shen Yanqing.
The monkey still persevered in coming to me, I had no choice but to hang on to Shen Yanqing and not let go, and his head shrunk into his arms, in this situation, my mind couldn't help but be distracted, Shen Yanqing is so fragrant......
Shen Yanqing turned me around and avoided the monkey.
"Shizi, don't go too far. There was a slight hint of anger in his voice.
Qi Xuan held his chin and stared at Shen Yanqing for a long time before waving his hand to let the monkey go back to him.
"Jin Jin, my sister doesn't like to eat, you can eat it yourself. He whispered to the monkey.
Then I saw that the monkey was holding an orange in its paws.
It's just ...... Do you want to hand me food?
When Qi Xuan led it away, it glanced back at me with a bit of ...... in its eyes Grievance?
I quickly rubbed my head, I was afraid that I was not crazy, but I actually felt that a monkey would be wronged.
Sure enough, staying with Qi Maniac for a long time will be contagious.
12
Li Yuanjia got along very well with Qi Xuan.
These two, one stupid and the other crazy, are really a good match.
Li Yuanjia has no advantages, that is, he has a sweet mouth, and he has a "Brother Xuan", so much so that Qi Xuan actually helped him share the homework of punishment and copying.
His baby stinky monkey was actually willing to let Li Yuanjia touch it.
I heard from the people in his palace that Qi Shizi ate and slept with the golden monkey, and never let outsiders touch his precious monkey.
I don't know why, but the thought of this person sleeping with a monkey makes me feel like I can't bear to look at it directly.
Qi Xuan, although he doesn't look as good as Shen Yanqing, he can be regarded as okay, why do you like this?
I looked at him, then at the monkey, and hey, what a pity.
He had his back to me, but suddenly he turned his head to stare at me.
It scared my back.
Damn, this man has become a sperm, how do I feel like he knows what I'm thinking......
13
Yan Guo may have sensed something from the queen's actions, and sent an envoy to ask to marry the princess of Chu.
The envoy specially emphasized that the Yan King and the monkey are in conflict, and the little princess of Chu is probably not very suitable.
When Qi Xuan heard the news, he rolled on the ground with laughter.
"Hey, Li Mingyue, are you a monkey? hahaha......
He still has the face to say! He, the culprit, still has the face to say!
Restraint!
You can't deal with neurosis.
Li Yuanjia's sleeves were twisted into twists by me, "Imperial sister...... Sister Huang......"
I poured a few glasses of cold water and barely calmed down.
Hearing that, Li Yuanjia blinked his cute eyes and asked Qi Xuan: "My imperial sister is not a monkey, why do the envoys of King Yan say that my imperial sister is not suitable?"
I can't help it!
"Qi Xuan, your uncle!"
Princess Ben, for the first time in her life!
14
Qi Xuan really had a serious illness, I scolded him, but he posted it up.
It's another gift, and it's a shopping trip.
If his eyes could kill people, Qi Xuan would have been killed by Shen Yanqing countless times.
But Qi Maniac was stunned as if he didn't notice it at all, and pulled my sleeve angrily and shouted at me to see a new gift.
I clung to the pillar and refused to go.
Just kidding, who knows what he will take as a gift!
Last time, I was given a big python, saying that its pattern is good for drifting, last time, I gave a pair of giant ugly kings, and last time, I sent a big fat pig with a round belly......
Tell me! Whose princess would raise a big fat pig? Ah, what girl would like these things!
"I don't want it! I don't want it!
It's a stinky skunk......
I sat down on the ground, wanting to cry without tears, "Qi Xuan, you should be a person. 」
He squatted down, looking aggrieved, "Don't you like it? 」
I was very curious before, and asked him why he kept catching me as a scourge, and I was not the only princess in the Chu Palace.
He blinked the same cute eyes he learned from Li Yuanjia, and said with a simple face,
"Because Jin Jin likes you the most. 」
What a bastard, ghost.
15
My reputation has been completely ruined by Qi Xuan, and probably no country wants a monkey princess.
"Shen Yanqing, why don't you marry me?"
I picked up the candle and said as if unintentionally.
Shen Yanqing was shocked.
He turned his back to me, stiff, motionless.
It went on like this for about half an hour, maybe not that long.
"Haha, I'm kidding......
"Ministers are not worthy of ......"
Both spoke at the same time.
Then fell silent.
Shen Yanqing's voice sounded, and it seemed even more lonely in the cold night.
"The courtier's father is a traitor and a traitor that everyone shouts and beats, and after the minister is a traitor, he should also be spurned by everyone, and the minister is not worthy of the princess. The princess's daughter has a great future, and she must not set foot in a filthy place. 」
The candles burned quietly, and the occasional "crackling" sound was particularly harsh.
I was silent for a long time, and then I replied to him with a word.
"Grace."
Before he left, I stopped him,
"Shen Yanqing, why don't you dare to look up at me?"
He pretended not to hear.
I scoffed, pretending not to see his hasty steps.
16
A large face suddenly appeared at the window.
Qi Xuan smiled sheepishly, "Li Mingyue, if no one wants to marry you, I'll marry you, I don't dislike you." 」
Listen to people in the corner, shameless!
I grabbed a shoe and slammed it towards the window.
"Get out!"
Qi Maniac has some masochistic physique, and the more he scolds, the more excited he becomes.
actually picked up the shoes and held them in his arms, "It's just your token of love." 」
17
The envoys of the Yan Kingdom have chosen one of my imperial sisters.
Yan Guoguo is rich and powerful, and King Yan is extraordinary, and I heard that he is also a person who will cherish people.
Marrying into Yan is a good destination.
While expressing their envy to the imperial sister, everyone also expressed their deep sympathy for me.
If it weren't for a series of things done by the prince of Qi Kingdom, this opportunity would probably have belonged to me, after all, my appearance has indeed won the true inheritance of my mother.
Speaking of the mother concubine, she lived in seclusion after seeing Qi Xuan, and occasionally went out a few times to find the fourth emperor sister in the temple, which is really strange, they have not seen each other in three or five years in the past.
I asked her when I had nothing to do, and she only said that she didn't feel very good and went to relax.
18
Universal celebration!
Qi Maniac is finally leaving!
King Qi was seriously ill and asked him to go back to serve the sick.
Before leaving, he smiled and asked me if I wanted to go back with him.
"Maybe I'll bring a daughter-in-law to my father, Chong Chongxi, and his old man will be fine at once. 」
「……」
The golden monkey was also taken away, but it still wanted to get close to me, and tried to hug me before leaving, but I sternly refused.
Before leaving, he glanced at Shen Yanqing defiantly and shouted at me:
"Good daughter-in-law, wait for me to marry you. 」
I don't know if I provoked Shen Yanqing, but the queen smelled the gossip for the first time, and her eyes wandered between me and Qi Xuan, "Could it be ...... And the play?"
19
After Qi Xuan left, I didn't pay much attention to Shen Yanqing and tried to avoid him.
Li Yuanjia gossiped and asked:
"Sister Huang, did you quarrel with Brother Shen?"
"Nope. 」
"Then why have you ignored him lately?"
"Didn't ignore it. 」
"I saw it all, as soon as you saw Brother Shen here, you turned around and left, and Brother Shen left you before coming over. 」
"Li Yuanjia, do you think that Taifu has given you too little homework? I'll go to Taifu tomorrow and ask him to give you more more. 」
"Ah...... The royal sister spares her life......
……
Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, I want to choose a concubine for Li Yuanjia.
I suddenly realized that this kid had grown so big, and he had reached the age of choosing a concubine.
The only princesses in the palace who have not yet married are me and the four emperor sisters.
The difference is that the fourth emperor sister took the initiative to become a monk and did not want to marry.
I am passive.
The queen chose and chose among the families, picking her family background, appearance, and personality, and she was worried about a few gray hairs, which shows that she really raised Li Yuanjia as her own son.
Although she doesn't like me, she treats Li Yuanjia sincerely.
On the day of the wedding, Li Yuanjia disregarded etiquette and insisted on holding his crown princess to come to me to toast.
"Imperial Sister," his eyes were slightly red, "I'll take Yuanyuan to toast you." 」
I know why he's like this.
The son got married, and the father ignored it, and he didn't even show up.
Yes, our father did not show up on the day of the prince's wedding.
After many invitations, only one sentence came from there, "Got it, don't bother me with my cultivation." 」
I patted him on the head as a sign of comfort.
"Treat your daughter-in-law well. 」
The crown princess, dressed in a wedding dress, held a wine glass and looked at me curiously and ignorantly.
I looked at them and couldn't help but laugh.
Poof, two little bunnies.
20
On the second day of the prince's wedding, the king of Chu announced his abdication and gave the throne to the prince.
The crown prince ascended the throne as the new king of Chu.
The following year, the infamous Shen Xiang abdicated, and his son Shen Yanqing took over his position, becoming the youngest prime minister in the history of the Chu State, and the ministers had no objections.
After all, no one wants to take this hot potato.
The prime minister of Chu is not so easy to be.
In September of the same year, for the first time in decades, the state of Chu won the battle and took back the three cities that had been ceded for the first time.
Although it was a small victory, it was of great significance to the Chu State at this time.
It was Shen Yanqing who went to sign the agreement, half a month after Shen Xiang's death.
I heard that Shen Yanqing knelt in front of Shen Xiangling's throne all night holding the other party's letter of surrender and the contract for returning the city.
After the abdication of his father, the trend of deficit in the treasury slowed down.
Li Yuanjia reduced taxes, lightened forced labor, and concentrated on developing the army, and the state of Chu finally had soldiers who could fight, so it ushered in this victory.
Several elders of the Three Dynasties burst into tears, "The sky will not die, my great Chu. 」
It is indeed not easy for the old people, and it is not easy to follow the footsteps of the emperor's grandfather when they enter the court; later, it is not easy to see the father and emperor lose the century-old foundation accumulated over the past little by little, but he is unable to return to the sky, and it is not easy to be angry to death.
As if it were a good sign, we were reclaiming more and more land.
Every time Shen Yanqing took back one more city, the gaze that paused on me was a little more.
21
Three years after the new emperor ascended the throne, Qi and Yan were no longer willing to endure the small actions of Chu and launched attacks on Chu many times.
The state of Chu was defeated.
In addition to the compensation for land cession, Qi Guo asked me to be a princess and a princess.
Li Yuanjia argued with the courtiers with red eyes in the court,
"As long as I live, I will never allow any princess of the Chu Kingdom to make peace. 」
Several ministers took turns to persuade,
"Your Majesty, you must not have a hard time with the Qi State at this time, the willingness of the two countries to negotiate peace means that there is still a chance, for the sake of now, the only way to recuperate and wait for a good opportunity. 」
"Your Majesty thinks twice—"
Li Yuanjia was so angry that he jumped to his feet, "It's not your sisters and daughters who are going to kiss!
The old lady who was over the age of sixtieth held his neck and was stiff with Li Yuanjia,
"Your Majesty, don't say that it is the daughter of the minister, you want the minister to go in person, and the minister is also willing!"
"As long as it is for the good of the Chu State, the old minister will not hesitate to do anything!"
"Your Majesty should put the country first, and the people first!"
After that, he led the ministers of the hall to kneel.
"You, you ......" Li Yuanjia was angry, "Shen Yanqing, you come!"
Shen Yanqing didn't say a word after learning the news, and he only stood quietly when the ministers spoke.
Li Yuanjia shouted at him for a long time, and he seemed to have just reacted and slowly stepped forward.
Bowing slightly,
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Taiwei said is extremely true, and Your Majesty should think twice. 」
Li Yuanjia looked at him in disbelief, "Shen Yanqing, that's my imperial sister!"
Shen Yanqing bowed deeper,
"Your Majesty thinks twice. 」
The court meeting ended with Li Yuanjia smashing a stack of folds on Shen Yanqing.
22
I wasn't too surprised, it really looked like something Shen Yanqing would do.
Pat the fried Li Yuanjia,
"How old are they, and they still play with children's tempers. 」
He looked at me with watery eyes, "Imperial sister......
"Don't pay attention to Shen Yanqing anymore, I won't pay attention to him, hmph. 」
I took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "He didn't do anything wrong, so why ignore him." 」
"Aren't you angry?"
"Yuan Jia, don't act recklessly in the future, ask Shen Yanqing and those old ministers more about everything, but don't listen to them all, some old guys are too conservative in their thinking, trust your own judgment, and the imperial sister believes that you will definitely be the wisest emperor." 」
"Imperial Sister ......"
"If you don't marry the imperial sister, you will become an old girl, although Qi Xuan is a little crazy, but it won't be bad, don't worry, I will live well." 」
23
Before leaving, my mother took me to the temple of the Four Emperor Sisters.
She said, "The mother has nothing to give you, so this is the right to be a dowry, I hope ...... You don't need ......."
Queen, oh no, now she is the queen mother, and the queen mother has prepared a rich dowry for me, and she looked at me with complicated eyes,
"It's hard for you to be so sensible and willing to advise the emperor. 」
被劝谏的兔子帝后手牵手，哭得眼泪汪汪。
"When the royal sister comes back, you have to give me a bunch of rabbits to play with. I stroked my hair one by one.
The carriage departed, and I sat in the carriage and touched my sour nose, which was a little emotional as I got older.
It was Shen Yanqing who was married.
Before he helped me into the car, I said to him,
"Shen Yanqing, you did the right thing, if it were me, it would be such a choice. 」
「辅佐李元嘉,守好楚国。 」
After that, until I arrived at the border of Qi, I didn't say a word to him again.
24
The journey was smooth, but the rest of the month arrived.
The old prince Qi has a lot of heirs, and Qi Xuan is afraid that he doesn't know how many twists and turns he has gone through, and it must be very dangerous to think about it.
There is a sentence I lied to Li Yuanjia.
I never thought that Qi Xuan was a kind person, and if he could crawl out of the sea of blood of his brothers and sisters, how kind would he be?
Of the more than 20 sons of the old King of Qi, Qi Xuan ranked seventh, and now except for his sixth brother who was lying half-dead on the bed, the other princes of the world died for various unexpected reasons.
As for whether it was a real accident, who knows?
I haven't seen him for a few years, and he's still the same way he used to be, crazy and crazy.
Running towards me with an embroidered shoe,
"Daughter-in-law, I'm here to pick you up with a token of love. 」
I couldn't help but cover my face, it was indeed my shoes, the one he had been smashed by me in the early years.
Shen Yanqing's face was ugly, and I happened to be standing on his side, and I could see his clenched fists and slightly shaky cuffs.
Like, lost a lot of weight.
Qi Xuan spoke, "Yo, isn't this Shen Xiang, thank you for your big ride, and send my daughter-in-law over safely." 」
Shen Yanqing's face tightened and did not speak.
Qi Xuan didn't care, and pulled me forward.
Shen Yanqing raised his arm to stop, "King Qi, this seems to be out of order?"
Qi Xuan squinted at Shen Yanqing and raised his hand to brush it away.
"In the country of Qi, I am the rule. 」
25
Qi Xuan dragged me into his ultra-luxurious carriage.
I lifted the curtain and looked back, Shen Yanqing stood in place, like a little scholar who had been sucked away by a goblin in his book.
"Don't look at it, if that coward dares to marry you, he won't marry you sooner, where will it be my turn. 」
Qi Xuan crossed his legs and said lukewarmly.
I sighed, "He's not a coward. 」
Qi Xuan snorted coldly, "Where did you like him?"
I withdrew my gaze and thought about it carefully,
"He's good-looking. 」
"Hmph, cowardly little white face!"
After speaking, he suddenly brought his big face up, "Isn't this king good-looking?"
I subconsciously stepped back, so close that the tip of my nose was almost attached.
My face turned red all at once, and I quickly pushed him away.
"Why are you so close?"
"Let you see if this king is good-looking or your little white face is good-looking, how about it? This king is much better than him. 」
I looked at Qi Xuan carefully, his eyebrows were resolute, his face was cold, with some domineering that no one could refuse, and he changed into the court clothes of King Qi, which was a good look.
"Well, it's okay, this dress is pretty good, it looks like a dog. 」
He glared at me viciously, "Li, Ming, Yue, shut your mouth if you can't speak!"
26
Before getting out of the car, Qi Xuan suddenly smiled at me.
I laughed so hard that I was hairy.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet an old friend. 」
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I had a very bad premonition.
"Squeak...... Chirp, chirp, ......"
啊，金金猴子，别来无恙哈......
Qi Xuan was mentally ill, and he also dressed the monkey, which was called shortening the distance.
Pull a fart closer, it's even more terrifying, okay!
Can you imagine waking up early in the morning and a monkey dressed like a human giving you a weird smile and then having to serve you to get dressed and washed?
Damn, Qi Xuan is not only a neuropath, but also a big pervert.
Normal people who would love this!
27
The palace of Qi was very peaceful by Qi Xuan, after all, the disobedient ones disappeared.
Shen Yanqing had already left with the wedding procession, and when he heard that on the day he left, he looked at the direction of the Qi Palace for a long time.
Qi Xuan's acid chirped and said,
"Aren't you going to send your lover?"
"You're bored, aren't you? 」
After a pause, I frowned,
"Qi Xuan, your sixth brother, do you know?"
He smiled faintly, "You found it. 」
yes, even I found out, how could he not know.
I went to see his sixth brother, and it stands to reason that a person who has been paralyzed all the year round should be described as thin and weak, but the person is lying down, although his face is also sick, but the muscles of his limbs are still full and strong, and he really does not look like a person who has been lying on the sickbed for a long time.
Qi Xuan sneered, "Since he likes to pretend to be sick, then let him pretend to be for the rest of his life." 」
"It's good that you know. 」
Since it is a domestic affair of Qi, it is inconvenient for me to say more.
"Why? 」
I smiled, "Whatever I said, I'm married to you, we are a family, and it is not natural to care about you. 」
He was interested, "Oh, when are you going to drink with me?"
"Naturally, it's when you're whiter than Shen Yanqing. 」
"Li!Ming!Yue!"
Ignoring someone's roar, I happily ran away.
Who asked someone to ask Shen Yanqing where he was better than him, I looked at someone's bronzed face and said, "He is white. 」
Someone's competitiveness has come up, and it is said that he is asking around how to make his skin whiter.
The people in the Qi Palace must have thought that their king had committed some kind of illness again, hahaha.
28
There is really an old acquaintance in the Qi Palace, the princess of Qi Liu, who is my forty-second imperial sister.
Qi Liu's pretending to be sick was also discovered by accident when I went to visit her.
"Sister Huang, drink tea. 」
I asked her out to see if she knew.
"Brother-in-law's ......"
As soon as I opened my mouth, she changed her face.
"Just say what you want to ask. The forty-two imperial sisters have always been straightforward, and they disdain those twists and turns.
I rubbed my nose, "Well, I just wanted to ask if you know. 」
She glanced at me, "King Qi asked you to ask?"
"No, I wanted to ask. 」
"He's pretending to be not sick at all. 」
I choked, "Ahem, Imperial Sister, you're really direct. 」
She tilted her head and smiled, "Because, I am the person that King Qi put on his side, as long as I am here, as long as he doesn't want to tear his face, he has to keep pretending." 」
I was silent for a long time after the imperial sister left.
"King Qi promised that as long as I help him keep an eye on Qi Liu, he can keep the Chu Kingdom at peace for the time being. 」
"Have you ever thought that if Qi Liu makes any moves, the first danger is you. 」
"So what. 」
"Sister Huang, you are seeking skin with a tiger. 」
"I don't have a better choice, little sister. 」
……
29
I thought about it for a long time and went to find Qi Xuan.
Taking a deep breath, "Qi Xuan, let's talk about cooperation. 」
Qi Xuan was combing the golden monkey's hair, and was stunned when he heard the words,
"Here, you have this strand in your hand, and here, I want to give him a new haircut. 」
「……」
Damn, who's going to have a monkey with pigtails all over their heads!
No one can understand how I'm feeling right now......
On one side is a golden monkey who is dressed up in a fancy way, and on the other side is a Qi madman with a white powder on his face.
"Do you think I'm in vain?"
I don't want to see it at all.
By the time Qi Xuan packed up and sat down in front of me, I had forgotten what to say.
"Have you been to see your imperial sister?" or did he remind him first.
Oh yes, Sister Huang.
"Hmm. 」
"Do you want me to transfer her from the sixth child? I asked her when you first arrived in Qi Kingdom, but she didn't want to. 」
"No, it's not. 」
"Ghost?"
No one can change what she decides, I knew it when I was a child.
"Qi Xuan, let's join forces and divide the Yan Kingdom. 」
30
Ever since I said that I was going to divide the Yan Kingdom, Qi Xuan kept staring at me and didn't speak.
"See what I'm doing?"
He withdrew his gaze, crammed his cup and began to drink.
"Look how many fancy intestines you have. 」
「……」
After a while, he finally put away his cynical look and looked at me with calmness, contempt, and disdain in his eyes.
"Li Mingyue, cooperation requires bargaining chips, who do you think you are? Why do you talk to me about cooperation? Are you worthy?"
"An An will be my queen, and I can keep you peaceful for the rest of your life. 」
I'm in a trance, is this the other side of Qi Xuan? Or is this the real side of him?
It's really, dangerously.
I got up and bowed.
"I am the princess of Chu. 」
"Qi and Yan are equal in national strength, it is only a matter of time before there is a conflict, although my Chu State is broken, but it is located in the fortress of the two countries, no matter which side of Qi and Yan has the help of Chu State, it will be a great help to destroy the other party. 」
It is precisely because of the mutual jealousy of Qi and Yan that they tolerate the state of Chu to survive to this day.
"I can convince the State of Chu to join forces with you and destroy the Kingdom of Yan. 」
Qi Xuan sneered and spoke, "Heh, princess of Chu State? Who doesn't know that the most worthless thing in Chu State is the princess. 」
I shook my head and smiled sweetly at him.
"Qi Xuan, I'm very valuable. 」
I forgot to mention that in addition to the beauty I inherited from my mother, I also inherited the IQ of my father.
My father is very good at everything except that he can't be an emperor.
My greatest talent is making money.
Otherwise, after Li Yuanjia succeeded to the throne, how could the treasury not be in deficit so quickly?
I crossed my fingers and settled accounts with Qi Xuan,
"There is a saying in the book of war, a hundred battles are won, and those who are not good are good, and those who do not occupy and surrender others, and those who are good are good. If you forcibly occupy the Chu State, it is not impossible, but it will greatly consume the military and financial resources of the Qi State, and if the Yan State takes advantage of the fire to rob it, even if you take the Chu State in your pocket, it will not be in vain, but you will make wedding dresses for others. 」
"It's better to ally with the Chu State and take down the Yan State, a strong enemy. 」
"In addition, if you successfully take the Yan Kingdom, thirty percent will go to the Chu State, and the rest will be yours, I will do my best to ensure that your treasury is full every year. 」
The state of Qi is warlike, and there is constant infighting, and the treasury has long been empty, but it has been struggling to support it.
Qi is actually ...... Very poor.
On the first day I arrived at the Qi Imperial Palace, I saw that the bricks and tiles of the palace looked like they hadn't been renovated for a long time, and even the palace maids were dressed quite shabby......
This is also the source of confidence for me to dare to negotiate with Qi Xuan.
I can earn him money!
Qi Xuan squinted at me and said with a smile, "Sancheng? 」
I straightened up and swung towards him.
"Since then, the state of Chu has been a vassal state of the state of Qi, paying tribute every year, and never betraying it during his lifetime. 」
Qi Xuan was silent for a long time, so long that my waist was sore.
Just when I thought I was going to be rejected, he laughed and grabbed me.
"I'm really underestimating you, concubine. 」
I touched Jin Jin's pigtails and smiled and said, "Each other. 」
Qi Xuan led Jin Jin and walked out, muttering as he walked,
"Never betray in your lifetime, hehe, whose lifetime is it......
I touched my nose weakly.
However, Qi Xuan is not a fool, it is better to destroy the Yan State first and then slowly clean up the Chu State than if the Chu State is gone, and it is better to directly follow the Yan State.
Hehe, each with a ghost, each with a ghost......
31
Taking advantage of the chaotic period when Qi and Chu joined forces to attack the Yan Kingdom, Qi Liu came out again.
He secretly contacted a group of Wenchen generals to crusade against Qi Xuan in the name of the Qing monarch's side, claiming that Qi Xuan killed his father and brother and was not in the right position.
But in terms of means, he is really not as good as Qi Xuan.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he was taken down, and it was far from Qi Xuan's palace gate.
However, he really deserves to be the brother of Qi Maniac, just as crazy.
When she was dying, she dragged my forty-two imperial sister to death.
"If I die, you won't live. 」
I knew very well in my heart that Qi Xuan would not care about the life or death of the imperial sister, so I rushed to speak,
"Qi Liu, let me go, I can intercede for you. 」
He laughed maniacally, pinching the face of the imperial sister and forcing her to look at me, "Don't you like him? Look, you endured humiliation for him, but I didn't expect him to marry your sister! Hahaha! You say it's not ridiculous, hahaha......
Qi Xuan raised his hand and was ready to give an order.
The imperial sister suddenly snatched Qi Liu's saber and drew her sword to kill herself.
She spat out a mouthful of blood at Qi Liu, who looked shocked, and sneered, "Twin Gu, then let me take you away. 」
After finishing speaking, Qi Liu also began to vomit blood.
"You're really...... Dedicated to him, you ...... Are you worth it......
"Whether it's worth it or not, I'll decide. 」
The last glance of the imperial sister was in the direction of Qi Xuan.
Qi Liu's last sentence was a curse on Qi Xuan, "Qi Xuan, you killed your father and brother, sought power and usurped the throne, people like you should go to the eighteenth layer of hell, I curse you, you will live in fear all your life, and you will never get someone who treats you sincerely......
32
I personally washed and changed my clothes for the imperial sister, and buried her.
Qi Xuan asked if he wanted to be sent back to Chu for burial.
I shook my head, "She likes you and would want to stay here even more. 」
Qi Xuan was silent for a while and spoke:
"I saved her before, and she insisted on staying with the sixth child to find out information for me, saying that she wanted to repay the favor, I didn't know that she still had this kind of thought. 」
