Chapter 250 This is just some idle talk among the old folks!
The palace began to select concubines.
Girls of school age from all over the country were sent to the imperial capital.
Lord Xicheng Li Yancheng had already planned for this moment.
He took out a piece of ID and handed it to the woman in front of him.
The woman looked charming and charming. She stretched out her slender hands and caught it with both hands.
Looking at the paper again, it said "Jin Die".
"My Lord, from now on, I will be called Jin Die!"
Li Yancheng was very satisfied: "Remember this identity and forget your previous name."
Jin Die came from the south and was a maid in an official family. The Chen family was not a wealthy and prestigious family, but they were law-abiding and life in the mansion was peaceful and harmonious.
Disaster struck from the sky. The Chen family was inexplicably involved in a tax case. This was done by important officials of the court who deliberately magnified the case in order to eliminate dissidents, implicating many innocent people.
Although Jin Die was a maid, she fell in love with the eldest son of the Chen family. Before the house was confiscated, the eldest son sent Jin Die out of the Chen family to save her life.
From then on, Jin Die began to wander, but was spotted by Li Yancheng who was observing the situation. He trained her, taught her, and used her for his own purposes.
After being trained, Jin Die has a delicate and noble face, a seductive and charming figure, but her heart is filled with emptiness and hatred!
This chess piece is now in use.
As expected, Jin Die was chosen by the emperor when she entered the palace.
Once he gained favor, the emperor would miss her every day and enjoy fishing every night.
A few days later, big news came from the border again.
The border war has been going on for many years, with fighting on and off, and no end in sight.
In recent months, the Leruns and Kutu tribes have launched large-scale attacks, and the situation is different from before.
In the imperial court, both the pro-peace and pro-war factions were ready to make moves, and they argued with each other during the morning court sessions. The frequent quarrels made the emperor dizzy and confused.
The emperor certainly didn't want to go to war, but he could not resist the nagging of the pro-war faction, so after leaving court he ran to Jin Die's arms and forgot his troubles for a while.
In the end, the imperial capital sent a peace delegation.
The peace talks went very smoothly. As soon as the supplies and gold and silver arrived, the Lerens and Kutu tribes withdrew.
The peace negotiation delegation returned with a great success. In addition to the peace settlement of the border war, they also brought back one person.
Princess of the Leruns tribe, Sidi.
I heard that she has always longed for the Central Plains culture and wanted to visit the imperial capital, and even planned to choose a prince consort!
The news spread throughout the imperial capital, and people in the streets were talking about it. If you were chosen by the princess, you would have to go to that desolate place covered with yellow earth.
This is just a topic of conversation among ordinary people!
The people who are distressed, of course, are the royal nobles and high-ranking officials.
They were very worried, fearing that the princess would fall in love with them. It would be difficult to be a prince consort. In the future, they would be caught between the imperial capital and the border tribes, unable to advance or retreat, and it would be difficult for them to be a good person!
No matter what the reaction was in the imperial capital, Princess Sidi's carriage team never stopped and finally drove into the city gate in a mighty manner.
Under the guidance of the peace negotiation team's convoy, Princess Sidi first stayed in the royal inn.
The palace was preparing for the welcoming ceremony the next day.
Concubine Rong held her big belly with one hand and gently stroked it with the other: "My son, since I gave birth to you, I have the confidence to continue to fight. I have had enough of the days when I have to be humble when I see the queen!"
She looked at the sky outside the window and smiled slyly: "It doesn't matter if the queen can give birth to two sons. It's better to let the barbarian princess pick one!"
At this time, Princess Xiangyue ran in: "Mother, I'm here to see my brother!"
Concubine Rong smiled brightly and let Xiangyue touch her belly.
"What did you hear and see when you were playing in the palace?"
Xiang Yue stopped and said, "Mother, let's just say that the border princess is the most eye-catching. The palace maids all said that the people from the border have big beards, dark skin, and weird clothes. The eunuchs said that the princess looks almost the same, with that exotic look! How ugly is that!"
Concubine Rong laughed while holding her belly: "I just heard them talking nonsense. Mother has seen people from the border."
Xiang Yue was very surprised: "Mother, when have you seen it?"
"Back then, the Grand Commandant followed the late emperor to conquer the world and also went to the border to fight. When he came back, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman from the border!"
"Why haven't you heard of it?"
"The woman was in poor health and died not long after."
Xiangyue listened to it without caring at all, and just said: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are always unavoidable."
"Tomorrow the princess will come to the palace, you can broaden your horizons."
Xiangyue suddenly felt very much looking forward to tomorrow's welcoming ceremony.
