Chapter 266 So, the Northern King Has Taken a Fancy to You

Chapter 266 So, the King of the North is attracted by your beauty?

Chen Wanrong left and returned to Xuanyue Palace.

Even if Lu Chen was reluctant, he still let her go.

Lu Chen was a scumbag. He liked all the beautiful women in the inner courtyard, but he was also a promiscuous man. He still had a very deep feeling for the fairy Chen Wanrong. Suddenly, there was one less woman in the palace, and he felt very uncomfortable.

For a long time after Chen Wanrong left, Lu Chen would go to Yunrong Courtyard from time to time to miss the days when Chen Wanrong was there. If he met Lin Wanyun in Yunrong Courtyard occasionally, he would beat Lin Wanyun up.

Half a month passed in a flash. In the past half month, Lu Chen was discussing the terms of the trade cooperation agreement with Dayue's delegation on the one hand, and preparing for the wedding with Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli on the other hand.

Since it was a concubine, it must be done in a grand manner, and it could not be done quietly like a concubine.

After half a month of discussion, the terms of the trade cooperation agreement between the Northern Kingdom and the Dayue Dynasty have basically been finalized, and the next day is the day to formally sign the trade cooperation agreement.

Morning.

After Lu Chen got up from the bed, he began to put on his clothes under the help of Lin Wanyun.

Although Lin Wanyun helped Lu Chen put on his clothes, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

This bad guy has come to Yunrongyuan many times in the past half month. Although she is the only one living in Yunrongyuan now, she doesn't think Lu Chen came to find her.

She always felt that this little bad guy came to Yunrongyuan and thought he was Chen Wanrong.

At this time, Lin Wanyun asked, "Do you think I'm Rongrong?"

When Lu Chen heard Lin Wanyun's question, he was stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at Lin Wanyun and said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, why do you think so?"

"Although I'm not a good person, I won't do such inhuman things. How could I think you're Rongrong? She is her, and you are you."

At this time, Lin Wanyun pulled Lu Chen's belt hard and tied the belt for Lu Chen. While tying the belt, she said, "Don't think I don't know what you think."

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Aunt Lin, are you jealous?"

Lin Wanyun said coldly, "You're being sentimental."

After the voice fell, Lin Wanyun didn't say anything more and continued to help Lu Chen get dressed.

Lu Chen thought of something at this time, and then asked: "I will get married soon, how about you marry into the palace together?"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Lin Wanyun refused and said: "No, after all, I am from Xuanyue Palace, and it is not suitable for me to marry. It is okay for you to let me give birth to your child secretly, as long as outsiders don't know."

"Besides, the Lin family is still in the capital. If I marry you, if people know that I am the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Lin, it will harm the entire Lin family."

The North Kingdom is now the strongest feudal state in the entire Daxia, and Lu Chen is also the strongest vassal king among the vassal kings. The contradiction between the North Kingdom and the court will only become more and more acute, and the two sides will go to war sooner or later.

If others know that Lin Gaoyuan's adopted daughter is in the North Palace now, it is very likely that Emperor Xia will think that the Lin family has surrendered to the North Palace. At that time, the entire Lin family may not have a good end, so Lin Wanyun still thinks that it is better for her to keep a low profile in the North Palace, and it is best not to show up in public.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's true. I'll let you down for a while. When Daxia settles down, I'll give you a status."

Lin Wanyun curled her lips and said, "No need. I'm so old, what status do I need? You just need to be good to Rongrong and live up to her."

Lin Wanyun thought to herself that when Daxia settles down and Lu Chen ascends the throne, she will probably be in her forties or fifties. By then, she will be old, and it's impossible for Lu Chen to still like her.

As long as Lu Chen can treat Chen Wanrong well and treat the children he and Chen Wanrong may have, she will be very happy. As for herself, she will stay with Lu Chen and help Chen Wanrong take care of the children in the future.

Lu Chen said, "The status must be given, and you are not old at this age. Nanyan is in her thirties, and she can be my concubine."

Lin Wanyun didn't say anything else. She started to help Lu Chen tidy up his hair.

However, she thought in her heart that she didn't expect this little bad guy to have a conscience. She originally thought that Lu Chen was just greedy for her body. After a while, Lu Chen had no feelings for her, and Lu Chen didn't plan to be responsible for her.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyun's heartbeat quickened a little. She hoped to stay by Lu Chen's side forever to take care of him for her sister Yue.

...

Lu Chen got dressed, washed up, went to the main hall to have a simple breakfast, and then went to the council hall.

When Lu Chen arrived at the council hall, the envoys of the Dayue Dynasty and the officials of the Northern Kingdom were basically already in the hall.

Lu Chen waved his sleeves, sat on the throne, looked at the people of the Dayue Dynasty delegation kneeling below and said: "Miss Murong, I don't know if you have any additions to the trade cooperation agreement. If there are no other additions, let's sign according to the content we agreed on before."

After the trade cooperation agreement is signed, there will be no tariffs on goods from the Northern Kingdom entering the Dayue Dynasty in the future, and there will be no tariffs on grain from the Dayue Dynasty entering the Northern Kingdom.

For Lu Chen, the biggest benefit is that in the future, the Northern Kingdom can purchase large quantities of grain from the Dayue Dynasty directly in the name of the Northern Palace, and no longer need to purchase grain secretly through Tingyu Tower.

However, after the signing of this trade cooperation agreement, the Dayue Dynasty will send an envoy to Yancheng, Beiguo, and Beiguo will also send an envoy to the capital of the Dayue Dynasty.

They nominally said that this was for trade cooperation to avoid any problems between the two sides' caravans in their respective territories, which would be solved by no one.

The two sides sent envoys to each other, and if there were any business problems, they could communicate at the first time.

Although it was for business trade, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was no different from establishing diplomatic relations, except that the two sides did not openly establish diplomatic relations.

Murong Xueer smiled and said, "Reply to the King of the North, we have no objection to the content of the trade cooperation agreement, and we can sign it today."

Lu Chen said, "Okay, in that case, bring in the trade cooperation agreement."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, two Jinyiwei soldiers entered the hall with two scrolls. One Jinyiwei soldier placed the scroll on the table in front of Murong Xueer, and the other Jinyiwei soldier placed the scroll on the table in front of Lu Chen.

After the scroll was opened, it was a black brocade with yellow words recording the terms of the trade cooperation between the Northern Kingdom and Dayue.

Although the Northern Kingdom was able to produce paper on a large scale, it still had to use brocade for treaties signed with other countries. Cloth was not as easy to break as paper, and it also showed respect for the Dayue Dynasty. After all, other dynasties had not signed two treaties with paper.

When the scroll was opened, Lu Chen took out the king's seal in his hand and stamped it directly on the scroll, and Murong Xueer also took out a seal from her sleeve and stamped it.

After stamping, the two sides exchanged the scroll.

When Murong Xueer put the scroll in front of Lu Chen, Lu Chen found that Murong Xueer actually used the seal of the Prime Minister of the Dayue Dynasty.

Lu Chen smiled in his heart. He thought Murong Xueer was just called the Prime Minister of the Inner Palace of the Dayue Dynasty. Now it seems that this is not just a simple title. She has the seal of the Prime Minister of Dayue in her hand, so what is the difference between her and the Prime Minister of Dayue.

Lu Chen did not think much and continued to stamp the scroll with the royal seal. After stamping, the two sides exchanged the scroll again.

In this way, the trade cooperation agreement between the two countries was completed.

Murong Xueer said at this time: "Northern King, since the trade cooperation agreement has been signed, our delegation should return to Dayue. Please determine the candidates for the Northern Kingdom delegation within two days and send them back to Dayue with us."

Lu Chen said: "No problem."

...

Two days later, the Dayue delegation left three people from the Dayue Dynasty in the Northern Kingdom, and the rest returned to Dayue with Murong Xueer. Of course, Lu Chen also sent several officials from the Northern Kingdom to follow the Dayue delegation back to the capital of Dayue.

The Dayue delegation had just left Yancheng when the people sent by the Great Xia court arrived in Yancheng.

What surprised Lu Chen was that this time his father did not send Situ Ce to find him, but sent the right prime minister Zhao Wenhan.

Lu Chen and Zhao Wenhan didn't have much interaction. He didn't even say a word to Zhao Wenhan when he was in the capital. He had only met Zhao Wenhan a few times at most.

The purpose of Emperor Xia sending Zhao Wenhan to the Northern Kingdom was similar to the last time he sent Situ Ce to the Northern Kingdom. It was nothing more than asking Zhao Wenhan to tell Lu Chen that the princes in the court were all useless people, and then praising the Northern King for his ability in both literature and martial arts, and his appearance as an emperor.

Of course, Lu Chen understood that Emperor Xia wanted to stabilize himself, so he asked Zhao Wenhan to come and say these words to him. He didn't believe that Emperor Xia would give him that position one day in the future.

Emperor Xia suspected that he was not his biological son, so how could he pass the throne to him.

What Lu Chen was most worried about now was that Emperor Xia's plan had reached that stage. Emperor Xia was already preparing to unite with the great masters to encircle and kill Zhuge Chongguang. Zhuge Chongguang was an important figure in the Northern Kingdom, and Lu Chen didn't want to see Zhuge Chongguang get into trouble.

He can be so relaxed now, and have time to cultivate feelings with his wives and concubines every day, because Zhuge Chongguang took over most of the government affairs after coming to the Northern Kingdom.

If Zhuge Chongguang was gone, Lu Chen doubted whether he would have time to cultivate feelings with his wives and concubines in the future.

Unlike the Northern Kingdom delegation, Zhao Wenhan only stayed in Yancheng for two days in the end. After bringing the words of Emperor Xia to Lu Chen, he hurriedly left Yancheng.

Zhao Wenhan was also afraid of death. He was afraid that the Northern Kingdom would suddenly rise up in rebellion and then kill him as a sacrifice.

After sending Zhao Wenhan away, Lu Chen also welcomed the thing he wanted to do most, that is, marry Chu Yuqin.

…

Dayue Dynasty.

Empress's bedroom.

In the red curtain, a woman's white jade back was looming. At this time, a woman was kneeling outside the curtain. The one kneeling on the ground was Murong Xueer who had just returned to the Dayue Dynasty from the Northern Kingdom.

Behind the curtain, the woman chuckled and said, "So, the King of the North is attracted by your beauty?"

Hearing this, Murong Xueer's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty, I have never seduced the King of the North. He has always been staring at me."

Emperor Yue ignored Murong Xueer's words, but said lightly, "A lustful guy can break through to the Grandmaster level at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It seems that the skills he practices are very unusual."

Emperor Yue continued, "Since he is interested in you, I will trouble you to go to the North Country more often in the future."

This...

Hearing Emperor Yue's words, Murong Xueer was stunned.

Is it possible that Emperor Yue is planning to use himself to use a beauty trap against King Bei?

Murong Xueer didn't think that the beauty trap would work for Lu Chen. Although Lu Chen liked beauty, the women around Lu Chen were all very beautiful. Lu Chen was probably just acting on a whim, so he looked at her more.

Seeing that Murong Xueer didn't speak, Emperor Yue's tone suddenly became a little cold, "What, you don't want to?"

Murong Xueer said quickly: "Your Majesty, if this slave is willing, I will do whatever Your Majesty asks me to do."

Emperor Yue continued at this time: "By the way, I heard that you have a lot of male pets outside. I wonder if this is true?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Xueer was so frightened that she quickly lay down on the ground, and then said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. I rarely leave the palace, how can I raise a male pet outside, and I am still innocent. Never had an affair with any man.”

Emperor Yue said: "So, someone has framed you. Who do you think would spread such rumors?"

Murong Xueer said: "I don't know."

Emperor Yue continued: "I don't know, is there anything that you, the Prime Minister of the Inner Palace, don't know?"

Hearing this, Murong Xueer's delicate body kept trembling, and cold sweat broke out on her cheeks.

At this time, there was no sound coming from the curtain. Several maids came out of the curtain in a hurry, and Emperor Yue's red phoenix robe became looming.

Obviously, Emperor Yue was getting dressed inside just now.

After a while, Emperor Yue spoke again: "Although someone framed you for raising a male pet outside, for the sake of your innocence, I think we should check it carefully."

While he was talking, a gust of wind blew from inside, and then the red curtain was blown open, revealing a stunning face that turned all living beings upside down.

The next moment, Murong Xueer, who was lying on the ground, instantly flew up, and her body flew directly into the curtain.

Immediately afterwards, Murong Xueer's clothes became shattered, her fair skin was exposed, and Murong Xueer appeared in front of Emperor Yue without any obstruction.

Emperor Yue glanced at Murong Xueer's body, and then said: "Shou Gongsha is still there. It seems that you have indeed been framed."

While speaking, Yuehuang gently raised her hand, and a golden silk blanket on the bed flew to her hand. She then threw the blanket on Murong Xueer's body, covering her as white as jade body.

Emperor Yue continued: "Get out."

Murong Xueer quickly put on a blanket to cover her body and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then Murong Xueer turned around and left the empress's palace.

When Murong Xueer came out, she found that beads of sweat were pouring out from her body. Even the blanket Yuehuang had just put on her body was wet with sweat.

Murong Xueer breathed a sigh of relief at this time, then she adjusted her mood and returned to her room.

at the same time.

Dawu Dynasty.

In a certain city in the southeast, a group of people were kneeling in front of Wu Yunwan, kowtow and begging for mercy, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, spare your life. As long as you spare our lives, eldest princess, we will do whatever you ask the Zhang family to do from now on. We are your dog.”

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan smiled, and then said: "Master Zhang, if you had known today, why did you do it in the first place? I have already given you enough time to surrender, but instead of cherishing it, you have attracted more people. The rebels want to make themselves king."

The man kneeling in front of Wu Yunwan was about to say something more when Wu Yunwan said directly: "Pull it down and chop it off."

Immediately, many soldiers came over, pulled up all the people kneeling in front of Wu Yunwan, and dragged them towards other places.

"Your Highness, please spare my life!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare my life!"

"Wu, you must die a good death. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you Wu family go!"

…

Soon the distant sounds gradually subsided.

At this time, Wu Yunwan murmured: "It's time to go back after being out for so long. I don't know if my good brothers are talking about me."

With the destruction of the Zhang family, the largest aristocratic family in the southeast, the civil strife in Dawu also ended. In this civil strife, there was no doubt that she, the eldest princess, played the greatest role.

She persuaded most of the rebel leaders to surrender, and also led the troops to wipe out all the remaining rebels, and also dealt with the rebels who launched the rebellion.

Before her, several of her brothers had also led troops to quell rebellions. Originally, Emperor Wu’s idea was to let her brothers accumulate some military merit, but he did not expect that her brothers were useless at all. Not only did they fall into the rebellion Due to the army's plan, many Dawu soldiers were lost, and they almost didn't even return.

Finally, after many suggestions from Prime Minister Chai Jiliang, Emperor Wu agreed to let Wu Yunwan, the eldest princess, lead the troops to put down the rebellion.

This was the first time that Dawu allowed a woman to lead the army. Naturally, there were many people in the court who objected, but they were opposed. Those ministers knew very well that the eldest princess Wu Junwan definitely had the strength to suppress the rebellion.

Their opposition was not due to Wu Yunwan's personal abilities. It can be seen from the fact that Wu Yunwan was made the eldest princess by Emperor Wu. Wu Yunwan's personal abilities were not weak. The main reason why the officials in the court opposed Wu Yunwan's leadership of the army was Because Wu Yunwan is a woman.

Moreover, Wu Yunwan has a very close relationship with the empress of the Dayue Dynasty next door. She now wants to lead the army to suppress the rebellion and accumulate military merit. In addition, she also has a huge intelligence agency at her disposal. What she wants to do in the future has not been revealed. And metaphor.

Dawu officials do not want a female emperor to appear in Dawu.

At this moment, Wu Yunwan was about to order the army to return to the capital of Dawu. Just at this moment, a soldier came to Wu Yunwan, handed her a letter with both hands, half-knelt down and said: "Your Highness, this is a letter from Prime Minister Chai, he asked you to return to the capital as soon as possible."
