Chapter 814 Queen Little Ginger

"Last year, His Majesty ordered the general to go out and find the Princess of Western Chu and grant her the title of Queen, intending to win over the traitors of Western Chu!"

Zhao Dingxiu said, then he sighed:
"It's all my fault for being so short-sighted. I didn't know that Your Majesty had magical powers and unpredictable abilities. I actually thought that the alliance with Xi Chu was a good thing, and then I let Your Majesty make the Princess of Xi Chu the queen."

"The Chu people now occupy half of the court of Great Shu, and I am responsible for this!"

Hearing Zhao Dingxiu blaming himself, Pei Jicheng asked in surprise:
"Isn't it a strategy that the court officials have discussed to form an alliance with Western Chu?"

"That's absurd! How can a lion be with a sheep?"

Zhao Dingxiu scolded instinctively!
Pei Jicheng didn't quite understand what Zhao Dingxiu said.

In the past, Western Shu had only more than thirty cities.

But Western Chu is a big country with hundreds of cities!
Compared with Western Chu, the former Western Shu was the sheep, right?
Seeing that Pei Jicheng didn't understand what he said, Zhao Dingxiu had to explain to him again:
"Did you know that three months ago, His Majesty selected elite soldiers from the Imperial Guards to form the Yipin Hall, which is dedicated to handling Jianghu affairs?"

Pei Jicheng nodded:
"Of course I know!"

Zhao Dingxiu asked again:

"Then do you know why it is called 'Yipintang'?"

Pei Jicheng answered again:
"Anyone who enters the First Rank Hall will have reached the first rank in martial arts cultivation."

When Zhao Dingxiu heard that Pei Jicheng knew the meaning of Yipintang, his eyes suddenly emitted a sharp light and he continued to ask:

"Then do you know how many first-class masters there are in the First-class Hall of my Great Shu, and how many first-class masters there are in the Liyang Dynasty and the Beimang Dynasty?"

"This...Ji Cheng doesn't know!"

Pei Jicheng saw Zhao Dingxiu so excited, and recalled what Zhao Dingxiu had just said, and he couldn't help but think:
"Prime Minister, could it be that the First-Class Hall has many First-Class masters, far more than Li Yang and Bei Mang?"

"That's right! In the First-class Hall of my Great Shu, there are 1,200 masters, and the lowest level of cultivation is at the Profound Realm! And according to the general, the number of first-class masters in Liyang and Beimang is only about 600 to 700."

When Zhao Dingxiu said this, he stood up from his seat excitedly, and his beard began to tremble:
"Ji Cheng, do you know what this means? This means that the martial arts of our Great Shu Kingdom are flourishing, and our strength is enough to crush the Liyang and Beimang Kingdoms!"

"Tell me, our Great Shu Kingdom is already so powerful, why do we need to form an alliance with a fallen Western Chu Kingdom?"

"We, the Great Shu, can unify the world directly. Isn't that good for him?"

Pei Jicheng looked at Zhao Dingxiu so excited and couldn't help but think:
"Prime Minister, you don't want to... depose the queen, do you?"

……

Su Mingzhe finished a busy day and originally wanted to go to Yuxiu Palace to find sisters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong to deepen their relationship.

As a result, Xu Weixiong told him that his sister was having her period and was not feeling well.

After Su Mingzhe and Xu Weixiong left, he suddenly had an idea and calculated with his fingers. Xiao Jiangni's relatives should have been gone for two days!

"Wang Chengen, let's go to Changchun Palace tonight!"

Changchun Palace is the palace where Queen Jiang Ni lived.

After Su Mingzhe entered Changchun Palace, he signaled to the palace maid not to inform them and he went straight in.

Little Jiang Ni had just finished bathing and put on her pink bellyband and small clothes because she had received the news that the emperor would come tonight. When she saw the man appear in front of her, she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed:

"Su Mingzhe, you are the emperor of the Great Shu Kingdom, can you please have some dignity? Before entering, don't you know to knock on the door and ask someone to inform them?"

"You are my wife. Do I need to inform others when I come to see you?"

Su Mingzhe didn't know why, but he liked to see Jiang Ni angry.

Seeing Jiang Ni looking embarrassed and angry, I felt so happy!

Su Mingzhe walked straight to Jiang Ni, put his arm around her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and gently stroked her still slightly wet hair with the other hand. He began to use his energy to help the water stains on Jiang Ni's body evaporate.

After the man put his arms around her waist, Jiang Ni closed her eyes nervously!

Jiang Ni has felt insecure ever since her father and mother were forced to commit suicide in front of her by Xu Xiao.

Especially after being sent to Wutong Garden in the Beiliang Palace by Xu Xiao and becoming a maid of Xu Fengnian, the prince of Beiliang, Jiang Ni often had nightmares, dreaming that she was cruelly hacked to death by Xu Xiao with a Beiliang knife!
Xu Xiao also once thought about assassinating Xu Xiao, or assassinating Xu Fengnian, to avenge his parents.

However, Xu Xiao was too majestic and murderous, and little Jiang Ni didn't know any martial arts, so he became frightened the more he looked at Xu Xiao.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Jiangni could only live in the Beiliang Palace as the prince's maid.

Fortunately, at this time, she met the lawless Xu Fengnian in the Beiliang Palace.

In the Beiliang Palace, Xu Fengnian is not afraid of anyone except his second sister Xu Weixiong, including Xu Xiao.

So, in the eyes of little Jiang Ni, Xu Fengnian, the son of her enemy, actually became her patron saint!

If Su Mingzhe had not sent someone to bring her to Shu, Xiao Jiangni would have fallen in love with Xu Fengnian, the son of his enemy.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe acted quickly and rescued Jiang Ni from the Beiliang Palace two years in advance before she fell!

After Jiang Ni came to Shu, she realized that Su Mingzhe was looking for her and made her the queen in order to use her to win over the old ministers of Western Chu.

As a young girl just beginning to fall in love, Jiang Ni naturally hated being used.

However, she also knew that if she didn't have this value, her current situation would be even worse.

Therefore, when Su Mingzhe discussed with her the details of the alliance between Dashu and Xichu, Jiang Ni proposed "three rules" to Su Mingzhe!
First, Jiang Ni promised that the man could touch her once a month until she became pregnant.

In other words, although Jiang Ni accepted his fate and was willing to be a tool of the alliance between Da Shu and Xi Chu, he still had to have dignity.

As long as she is pregnant, a man can no longer force her to serve him.

Second, Su Mingzhe helped Western Chu to restore its country, and the time for restoration was also set. When Jiang Ni gave birth to two boys to the man, that would be the day when Western Chu would be restored.

If Jiang Ni herself fails to give birth to two boys, then the day of the restoration of Western Chu will naturally be a long way off.

Third, before the restoration of Western Chu, Jiang Ni had to help Su Mingzhe win over the old officials of Western Chu to serve Da Shu. The old officials of Western Chu included Cao Changqing, the invincible official, Sun Xiji, the Grand Master of Western Chu, and so on.

Cao Changqing, the invincible official, is a master of the Great Celestial Realm, known as the 'number one in the Celestial Realm', and his combat power is comparable to that of a land immortal.

Sun Xiji, the Grand Tutor of Western Chu, entered the court of Liyang after the fall of Western Chu. He was highly respected and admired, and when he raised his arm, people would respond.

With the old ministers of Western Chu joining Great Shu, the pressure on the original old ministers of Western Shu has doubled.

It is no wonder that Zhao Dingxiu wanted to use the Rouge List incident to plan to "depose the queen".

Su Mingzhe naturally knew about the plans of Zhao Dingxiu and others.

However, even though Su Mingzhe knew that Zhao Dingxiu's behavior was somewhat "overstepping his authority", he still pretended not to know and did not punish them.

This is not the case. Su Mingzhe is greedy for Pei Nanwei's beauty, nor does he want to watch the "palace fighting drama" in the harem.

It was because Zhao Dingxiu and other old ministers of Western Shu had made outstanding contributions before the restoration of the Great Shu.

Especially Zhao Dingxiu, who had been working tirelessly to protect himself and Crown Prince Su Su.

Even if Su Mingzhe became an emperor, he would still be grateful.

Soon, the water stains on Xiao Jiangni's body completely evaporated.

Su Mingzhe smelled the fragrance of Xiao Jiangni, and without any hesitation, he carried her in a princess hug and walked towards the bed.

After the clouds and rain.

Little Jiangni murmured to himself in surprise:
"Why does it feel different from last time?"

"What's different?"

Su Mingzhe asked curiously.

There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Jiangni's shy voice:
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"

"..."

Su Mingzhe didn't know how to express his inner thoughts.

The next morning.

Before Su Mingzhe left, he reached out and touched Jiang Ni's still hot face, and laughed softly:
"Jiang Ni, if you want to get pregnant, you have to do more bad things. I'll come over tonight, how about that?"

"It's up to you. Anyway, I can't tie your hands and feet and stop you from coming!"

Jiang Ni stared at the man with her big watery eyes.

After a night of emotional exchange, the love between the two was at its strongest.

Wait until the man leaves.

Xiao Jiangni immediately asked the palace maid to prepare hot water so that she could wash her body.

After she washed and had breakfast, Xiao Jiangni put on her white phoenix robe and came to the main hall of Changchun Palace with the help of several palace maids.

As the queen, Xiao Jiangni is actually more diligent than the emperor Su Mingzhe.

Every day at the hour of Mao, punctually, Xiao Jiangni would be in the main hall of Changchun Palace to receive greetings from other concubines in the harem.

Soon, little Jiang Ni sat upright in the phoenix chair in the main hall. Her slender figure was concealed by the wide white phoenix chair. As the expressions on her face and eyes became more restrained, she actually began to exude a majestic aura.

At this time, the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace began to shout loudly outside the door:

"Send the concubine—"

The eunuch at the door quickly shouted:

"Send the concubine—"

Wait for the voices to continue shouting.

The beauties from the harem who had been waiting outside for a long time lined up in two rows according to the rank of their concubines and entered one by one.

The two leaders were Imperial Concubine Zhao Fengya and Snow Concubine Xu Zhihu.

Imperial Concubine Zhao Fengya was Princess Suizhu of the Liyang Dynasty. She was originally used by Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun for a political marriage and was married to the Crown Prince of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian.

As a result, Xu Fengnian was too lazy to serve the princess and directly refused the emperor's marriage proposal.

It was also because he refused the marriage proposal that Xu Fengnian was forced to "wander around the world for three years" in order to seek pardon from the Emperor Liyang!

Now, Princess Zhao Fengya of Suizhu was sent to Shu Kingdom as a political marriage.

Because Shu was strong and Liyang was weak.

After Zhao Fengya came to Shu, she could only be a noble concubine.

Xu Zhihu's position as Concubine Xue ranked second among the eight concubines, only after Imperial Concubine Zhao Fengya, because of the credit of her father, King Xu Xiao of Beiliang.

As mentioned before, when General Ye Song went to Beiliang to cause trouble, Xu Xiao promptly admitted defeat and even packed up all the maids in Xu Fengnian's Wutong Garden and sent them to the Emperor of Shu.

After Su Mingzhe knew about this, he was happy for several days.

When he was happy, he ranked Xu Zhihu second in the harem when he was conferring titles on the concubines, only after Zhao Fengya.

After Zhao Fengya and Xu Zhihu, it should have been Jade Concubine Xu Weixiong and Fragrant Concubine Hongshu.

However, after Concubine Xu Weixiong entered the palace, Su Mingzhe directly placed her in the imperial study to help him review memorials, and she did not need to pay her respects to Queen Jiang Ni.

Promoted according to the rank of concubine.

Behind Zhao Fengya and Xu Zhihu appeared Concubine Xiang Hongshu and Concubine Chun Murong Wuzhu!
