Chapter 216 Gong Yuanzheng 3
Chapter 216 Gong Yuanzheng 3
This younger brother of the emperor will be remembered throughout history. Under his rule, the country, even if not the most prosperous, will certainly be the most peaceful.
Besides, with her around, anyone who dares to lay a finger on this country should first ask her sword.
Xuan Yuanchen's expression changed instantly, and he cheerfully tried to negotiate.
"Your Majesty, the surrounding countries have become our vassal states, and there will be no war for the time being. Why don't you take a vacation and explore the world?"
Besides, my elder sister is not young anymore, and she doesn't even have a male consort. She has been staying in the military camp all this time. When will he be able to become an uncle?
This is a perfect opportunity to let my elder sister go out for a walk and have some fun. She might 'accidentally' meet a man she likes and bring him back. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
The soldiers in the military camp are so useless. Not a single one of those men could bewitch the Empress. When a swan is offered to them, even the toads don't know to jump on her.
army:"……"
Even if they had eight lives, they wouldn't dare to use any other tricks to provoke the general; it would be easy for them to get extra training!
A fierce glint flashed in Qing Yue's eyes: "Just as you said, none of Wu Feng's people will escape."
Twenty years ago, she was only five years old, and the affairs of the martial arts world had not reached her ears. The martial arts world and the imperial court never interfered with each other.
My father passed away suddenly, and there were many things piling up at once, including the succession to the throne and matters concerning the army.
When she returned in triumph, people around her would occasionally talk about things in the martial arts world, which made her keep an eye on things. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, she would personally investigate during her leave to confirm the danger posed by Wu Feng.
The assassins without a blade didn't just kill people from martial arts sects; in order to achieve their goals, they also killed many innocent ordinary people.
Those people have nothing to do with the underworld; it's simply because they don't value human life.
Wu Feng, your death is not far off!
"Your Majesty is amazing!" Xuan Yuan Chen raised the banner high.
Qingyue waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, stop fooling around. Which family is being replaced?"
Xuan Yuanchen immediately became serious: "It's the Song family. Because of Gong Yuanzheng's reputation as a genius poison doctor, they plan to send the fourth young lady of the Song family in. She has asthma and they hope she can get treatment or relief."
"I will use the imperial physician to treat Miss Song in exchange."
"I casually mentioned to the Song family that the palace doesn't put much effort into those with poor physiques, and they wouldn't choose her, let alone treat Miss Song the Fourth."
As he continued, Xuanyuan Chen smiled.
"The Song family also knew about some of the problems within the palace, and when they heard that I would exchange imperial physicians for them, they immediately agreed."
The reason the Song family chose their youngest daughter to enter the palace was ultimately because of Miss Song's asthma. Whoever could cure her or alleviate her condition, the Song family would support.
Qing Yue: "..."
As expected of an emperor with a dirty heart, was that just a 'side trip'?
"Okay, I see."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "What did the minister mean by the selection of concubines?"
I should still inquire about my younger brother's love life.
"Heavens! Those ministers are giving me a headache! And you, my royal sister, are here to act as a mediator!" Xuan Yuan Chen couldn't help but let out a long howl.
Qingyue: "Do you have someone you like or not?"
Xuan Yuan Chen said arrogantly, "No, it's not like I don't have concubines in my harem. Why would I hold a selection every few years? Do you think I'm someone who's so easy to get?"
"But your position as empress has been vacant for a long time, and the ministers are eyeing that position; otherwise, they wouldn't have kept pressuring you."
Qingyue was also troubled by this.
She didn't want to ask too much about court affairs; she just needed to manage the army. Since the ministers couldn't do anything about the emperor's younger brother, they wrote a separate memorial for her.
Her head was spinning from all the talking. Her younger brother had always been decisive, and she wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. Asking a question or two would suffice.
Xuan Yuanchen stood behind Qing Yue, massaging her shoulders, acting like a complete sycophant.
"I'll think about the Empress's position when I meet someone I like. Sister, if those ministers submit memorials to you again, just throw them in their faces. You are the most honored person in the whole world, why should you put up with their bad temper?"
She was even more noble than him, the emperor, and was his most precious older sister. Those ministers really knew how to choose people; they knew that only the imperial sister could suppress him.
Unfortunately, they didn't understand the princess's personality.
My elder sister would never meddle in such matters. As long as he is not in danger and the country is not in crisis, she will never interfere.
"Alright, you decide what to do. I'm going back now."
Qingyue pushed the sycophant aside and walked towards the door.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty! Remember to miss me!" Xuan Yuan Chen waved happily.
Qingyue turned her head away in disgust and strode away.
The guards and eunuchs at the gate bowed as they saw the person emerge.
After the others left, the emperor's personal eunuch went inside and asked, "Your Majesty, has the Crown Prince agreed?"
"Of course, with me in charge, how could my elder sister possibly disagree?" Xuan Yuan Chen said smugly.
The personal eunuch secretly gave the emperor a thumbs up. Brilliant! Even a substitute marriage could get the prince's approval. No wonder they're siblings; the younger brother can't resist a sister's coquettishness.
Xuanyuan Chen returned to his chair with his head held high and chest puffed out. Seeing so many memorials, he sighed again, "Damn, this is so annoying."
They write about every little thing, like "Your Majesty, how have you been lately?", "It's been raining here recently," "The weather here is sunny," and so on—just a lot of nonsense!
If those people weren't so far from the capital, he would have summoned them to court so they could see for themselves whether he was any good or not.
Such identical memorials, it would be nice to share some interesting things that happened around us!
Seeing the emperor's demeanor, the personal eunuch minimized his presence; he didn't want to be treated like a confidant anymore, as his ears couldn't take it.
...
As Qingyue walked out of the palace gate, a particularly eye-catching black tiger lay beside a carriage. It was a black tiger, even rarer than a white tiger.
The tiger was as tall as a horse. It was Qingyue's mount. While others rode horses to fight on the battlefield, she rode the black tiger and fought her way through the battlefield.
Her carriage was specially made because Black Tiger was a bit too big to fit inside.
He jumped onto the carriage, with Black Tiger following closely behind.
"Master, what order did my brother give to mobilize you?"
That's right, this black tiger is Xi En.
Qingyue rubbed her temples and told Xi'en everything in detail.
Xi En's fierce face was a little dumbfounded.
"My brother is so unreliable! How could he even think of something like this!"
"Besides, it's not like you're the only woman in the capital with strong martial arts skills. There are quite a few other women with good martial arts skills as well."
Qingyue: "This concerns the balance between the imperial court and the martial arts world. The only thing outsiders can enter the palace is the selection of brides."
"Although the noble ladies of the capital admire me and learn martial arts in addition to etiquette, they only know the basics. The most important thing is for a well-bred young lady to choose a good man to marry."
“Some noble ladies and ordinary women with martial arts talent applied to join the army and are now working for me. They are doing very well, even more meticulous and hardworking than some men.”
