Chapter 582: Canonizing the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty as Concubine Chen
After Lin Wan'er's menstrual period passed, she took another week of sick leave according to the instructions of the eldest princess Li Yunrui.
By early October.
During the day, Lin Wan'er sent someone to the Imperial Study Room to send a message, saying that she was inviting Su Mingzhe to the Changchun Palace to enjoy singing and dancing in the evening.
Su Mingzhe naturally understood what Lin Waner meant.
Before dinner, he first went to Yanshou Palace and Yanfu Palace to say hello, and then came to Changchun Palace.
After not coming to Changchun Palace for more than half a month, Su Mingzhe felt that he was a little anxious.
When they arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, Su Mingzhe saw Lin Wan'er leading a dozen beautiful palace maids to greet her. He quickly walked a few steps and held her fair little hand.
Looking at Lin Wan'er with long hair like a waterfall, water vapor seemed to be rising from her body, and the fragrance after bathing was floating around, Su Mingzhe's heart felt hot, but he couldn't help but blame:
"Wan'er, how many times have I told you not to come out to greet me after taking a bath. It's windy outside, so be careful of catching a cold."
"Cousin, I'm fine. Ever since I took the Peiyuan Pill you gave me, I've never been sick again."
Lin Wan'er's delicate and innocent appearance made Su Mingzhe move his index finger, put his arms around her soft and slender waist, and entered the bedroom.
Seasonally speaking, October is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the weather is cold.
Most of the palaces where the harem concubines lived have begun to provide heating.
After Su Mingzhe and Lin Wan'er entered the dormitory, Lin Wan'er asked the palace maid to take off her outer shirt, revealing the goose-yellow silk placket and bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. Her skin after just taking a bath was pinker and more delicate than usual.
The snow-white color is even more attractive.
Not long after, Su Mingzhe pulled Lin Wan'er and lay down on the bed.
The candlelight flickers and the fragrance is charming.
After the pleasure.
Lin Wan'er hadn't forgotten her excuse for inviting the man here, so she pulled the red silk rope on the bedside. After a while, the palace maid came in to help the two of them get up, and went outside to the palace.
Changchun Palace had already asked the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet.
After Su Mingzhe and Lin Waner were seated, musicians and dancers came in and began to perform songs and dances.
The singing and dancing in the palace are not as glamorous as the charming ones in Qin Lou and Chu Pavilion.
This is not to say that the dancer is not beautiful.
On the contrary, a dancer who can dance for an emperor, not to mention a country or a city, is at least a tall beauty with delicate features and graceful appearance.
However, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, no matter how beautiful her dance is, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there are just a few well-behaved dances, which are no longer rare after people watch them too many times.
After all, the palace's "singing and dancing troupe" is not allowed to perform "Mi Mi Music".
Fortunately, the skirts worn by the dancers today are relatively thin, and their dancing postures are quite graceful.
At the end of the song and dance, both Su Mingzhe and Lin Waner were rewarded with gold and silver.
After the dancers retreated, Su Mingzhe looked at the woman in his arms.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er took a Vitality Pill and her spirits recovered a lot.
The two looked at each other lovingly, then returned to the bed and became entangled again.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Lin Wan'er waking up with him, she was still in high spirits.
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but admonish:
"Wan'er, it's a medicine that's three parts poisonous. Although the Vitality Pill is good, you can't take it too much. Do you understand?"
"I know, cousin."
Lin Wan'er didn't want to rely on elixirs to withstand a man's favor.
But her body bones are really delicate, and she can't make a man happy without taking the elixir.
In order to give birth to a dragon child as soon as possible, Lin Wan'er wanted to take the elixir and work harder.
Su Mingzhe also guessed Lin Waner's thoughts and did not persuade her in the end.
A few more days passed.
There is information coming from Northern Qi.
In early October, it started to snow in the capital city of Northern Qi Dynasty.
Qin Tianjian predicted that this winter will be extremely cold.
Several ministers gathered in the Imperial Study Room to discuss with Su Mingzhe the negotiations with Northern Qi.
"Your Majesty, if we still can't reach a conclusion in the next few days, I'm afraid the Northern Qi delegation will leave."
Chen Pingping came to such a conclusion, which made Su Mingzhe frown.
Seeing this, Xin Qiwu quickly explained:
"Dean Chen, although Beiqi's conditions are good, we cannot agree to them. If we agree to their conditions, we will have no reason to go to war next year."
When two countries go to war, there must be a justifiable name.
Previously, when the Eastern Expedition army pacified Dongyi City, they used the Sigu Sword to assassinate the Qing Emperor.
And next year, the Qing Kingdom is still preparing to use the name of Master Ku He to assassinate the Qing Emperor to launch the Northern Expedition to the Northern Qi Dynasty.
If Northern Qi and Nanqing really signed a peace agreement, it would not be easy to find a justifiable reason.
After hearing this, all the ministers present nodded their heads and agreed with Xin Qiwu's point of view.
Even if the negotiation fails, we cannot just agree to Northern Qi's conditions.
After Chen Pingping heard everyone's opinions, she chuckled lightly and then said with a smile:
"If something can be done, it must be done. If it cannot be done, it must be done. The Northern Qi envoy went south with the idea that we should not start the war this year and give them a time to relax and prepare. Now, their
The goal has been achieved, they can pat their butts and leave naturally. However, we Qingguo have lost face in vain. This kind of thing will be a great blow to the morale of the soldiers of the three armies."
After hearing Chen Pingping's words, Liu Guogong, the Minister of War, frowned and said:
"Dean Chen, what do you mean by this?"
"Your Majesty, I think we should at least achieve some results."
Chen Pingping tried to give Su Mingzhe a look.
Su Mingzhe understood instantly:
"Dean Chen, the father-in-law is here to stay, and all the other beloved ministers should go back to work."
After a while, Su Mingzhe, Chen Pingping, and Fan Jian were the only ones left in the imperial study.
Since Fan Ruoruo entered the palace and became the queen last year, Fan Jian's title has been promoted from Sinan Bo to Siman Marquis, and he also has the title of 'Guo Zhang' on his head.
In addition, Fan Ruoruo took over the inner treasury and asked his father to help him manage it.
Today's powerful officials in the Nanqing Dynasty are no longer Lin Ruofu, Liu Guogong, and Qin Ye, but Fan Jian, the 'God of Wealth'.
Su Mingzhe left Chen Pingping and Fan Jian behind. He didn't say much nonsense and let Chen Pingping talk about his plan.
Chen Pingping slowly told her plan.
Su Mingzhe looked slightly startled: This Chen Pingping is indeed a traitorous minister, she can even think of such a sinister plot.
However, I like it very much.
"Prince of the State, this matter will be carried out according to Dean Chen's plan. Please cooperate with me."
"I accept the decree!"
Fan Jian left the imperial study room expressionlessly and returned to his office at the Ministry of Household Affairs, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Chen Pingping is truly the ‘King of the Night’, and her thoughts are really dark.
However, Chen Pingping's move was really sinister and vicious.
Two days passed.
The Northern Qi envoy had decided to end the peace talks, and the Qingguo side suddenly relaxed the bottom line and proposed new peace talks conditions.
After a heated exchange of words, the Marquis of Chang'an and Xin Qiwu finally signed a peace agreement.
The content of the agreement does not involve any cession of interests.
However, the Qing State proposed that the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty marry Su Mingzhe and be canonized as 'Concubine Chen'.
At the same time, eight noble girls from the Northern Qi Dynasty were required to be the concubines of the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and a state was also required to be used as the fiefdom of the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty for the Qing Kingdom to take over.
It was such an insulting agreement, but the Marquis of Chang'an actually agreed and signed his name.
When the news spread back to the Northern Qi Dynasty, the scholars of Qi State rushed directly to the residences of the Marquis of Chang'an and Marquis of Changning, and threw away rotten cabbage and rotten eggs for three days and three nights.
Cutting off territory with relatives is a loss of power and humiliation to the country!
The Northern Qi Dynasty emphasized literary style.
Although this approach of the scholars and scholars was somewhat inappropriate, because the incident occurred for a reason, the Jinyi Guards and the City Guards could only try their best to protect the Marquis of Chang'an and the family of Changning Marquis from harm, but they would not arrest these scholars and scholars.
Seeing that his whole family was surrounded and unable to get out, Marquis Changning was so angry that he yelled:
"These rotten scholars don't even know my brother's good intentions. They are really a bunch of short-sighted people!"
"Master Marquis, you'd better think of a way to let the city guards drive these people away."
The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion smiled bitterly and said:
"When people in the house go out now, they are all dirty."
"What can I think of? The city guards don't dare to arrest people, and the imperial guards don't dare to arrest people. This is obviously His Majesty and the Queen Mother, letting us two brothers act as a shield!"
Marquis Changning was very shrewd and wise at this time. He hit the nail on the head and guessed what the Northern Qi court meant.
The Queen Mother and the Young Emperor of Northern Qi were indeed preparing to let the two brothers, Marquis Changning and Marquis Chang'an, take the blame for Northern Qi.
I believe that when Zhuang Mohan and the Marquis of Chang'an return, the anger of the scholars and scholars will have been exhausted.
At that time, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi quietly selected eight noble girls as dowries and married the eldest princess to Nanqing.
As for the state capital that Qing wants, Northern Qi is easy to talk to. It's close to the border of Xihu. Just pick a place where birds don't poop and give it to Nanqing for free.
Anyway, as long as Northern Qi fulfills the peace agreement and Nanqing still wants to lose face, the border between the two countries will be stable for a few years.
I have to say that the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty's plan was really cost-effective.
In November, the Northern Qi envoy returned to China first.
Subsequently, the Qing Dynasty's welcoming mission went north.
Due to heavy snow and road closures, it was not until spring of the following year that the wedding delegation took the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty southward.
The eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty has a beautiful appearance but a somewhat tough personality.
The Qing State asked Northern Qi to marry eight noble girls, and the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi originally wanted to personally select eight gentle, virtuous and noble girls as dowries.
As a result, the eldest princess lost her temper:
"Mother, once I go to Qingguo, I will no longer be in your way. Qingguo has given eight dowry quotas, and I have to choose them myself. After all, these eight people will be the ones who will accompany me for the rest of my life. You won't
Even this right must be taken away, right?"
The eldest princess and the Queen Mother have always had a bad relationship.
Ever since the young emperor ascended the throne, the eldest princess has been bullied by the Queen Mother in all kinds of ways, and has almost become an idler in the palace.
Because he is not favored, he is almost twenty years old now and has not been given a marriage partner yet.
Now, the eldest princess has been favored by the Qing Kingdom. Although she is still a tool, her status has become more valuable.
The Queen Mother frowned, facing the eldest princess's tough attitude, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed to the eldest princess's request.
After several days of thinking, the eldest princess handed the list to the Queen Mother of Northern Qi.
When the Queen Mother of Northern Qi saw the list, her eyelids jumped with anger.
Because this list can be said to include all the civil servants, military generals, powerful ministers and noble ladies in the literary world of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Among these eight noble girls, the most noble one is Zhuang Yu'er, the granddaughter of literary master Zhuang Mohan.
Secondly, there is Sun Man'er, the youngest daughter of the Northern Qi Emperor.
Next, there is Shen Wan'er, the sister of the powerful minister Jin Yiwei, who is in charge of the heavy duty.
