Xiao An nodded, "Go and invite old Prime Minister Chen Junyu."
After waiting for about a stick of incense, Chen Junyu hurried to the imperial study room, saw Xiao An, and bowed.
"Old minister, Chen Junyu, pay homage to our emperor. Long live, long live, long live."
"Okay, dear, you don't have to be polite!"
Xiao An waved his hand, and Xiao Shunzi over there immediately moved the Jindun to sit down for Chen Junyu.
"My dear, I have been hesitant about this and want to hear what you think."
"Your Majesty, please speak clearly."
"When I was in Phoenix Mountain, I told all parties that whoever makes great achievements in fighting against the invasion of the Earth Kingdom, I will betroth the princess to him!"
"Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Chen Xiaobei who offered the strategy to defeat the enemy and led the army all the way to the Great Earth Kingdom."
"Now Chen Xiaobei has saved Jingyun again, but Chen Xiaobei has already been married..."
After hearing the emperor's words, Chen Junyu was also silent for a while.
Yes, according to the regulations of Dacang Kingdom, the princess must be the first wife when she marries.
And generally speaking, the princess usually marries someone who has not yet been married. Chen Xiaobei has already married Liu Xiangnan's daughter. Marrying another princess is a bit too much. Besides, Chen Xiaobei has another one in his family.
After Chen Junyu was silent for a while, he sighed slightly, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, maybe it would be more appropriate for you to give him some rewards."
Xiao An shook his head, "No, no, that doesn't mean I don't keep my word."
Chen Junyu went on to say, "If the emperor doesn't want to bear such a reputation, then he can only resort to rogue tactics..."
"Now Liu Rumei and thousands of people are stranded in the Great Earth Kingdom and have not returned. The emperor can use this as an excuse to send people to the Great Earth Kingdom to search for them."
"I think at this time, Chen Xiaobei's thoughts should be on Liu Rumei, and he may not think of your original promise."
"No matter how secretly the minister secretly contacts the civil and military officials to say hello, no one in the court should mention this matter. Then we can postpone it for one more day. After a long time, everyone will naturally forget about this matter. ”
Xiao An nodded, "Okay, let's discuss how to rescue Liu Rumei in the court tomorrow!"
At this time, Xiao Jingyun had woken up in the Prince's Mansion. He seemed much better today and was able to lean on the bed and say a few words to Zhou Quan.
After listening to Zhou Quan's story about rescuing him, Xiao Jamyun sighed, "I didn't expect that it would be Brother Xiaobei who saved me in the end."
"Chen Xiaobei made a great contribution to the fight against the Great Tu Kingdom this time. He personally went to the Great Chu Kingdom, attacked Qingguang City, and rescued His Highness the Crown Prince. Mr. Chen should be the main contributor."
After listening to Zhou Quan's words, Xiao Jamyun nodded. "Yes, I will write to my father immediately and ask him to reward Brother Xiaobei heavily."
Zhou Quan smiled when he heard this. Well, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already beaten you to it.
Seeing Xiao Jingyun's surprised expression, Zhou Quan'an continued, "After His Highness was poisoned, the Emperor once posted a list offering a reward of ten thousand taels to anyone who could cure His Highness's poison. After Mr. Chen offered his advice, His Highness the Princess went to the Emperor in person to discuss the matter." He asked for the bounty and sent it to Chen Xiaobei."
After hearing this, Jamel Xiao laughed a few times, and then seemed to think of something.
"I remember my father once said that whoever makes the first contribution in the fight against the Earth Kingdom will marry Jingfeng."
After hearing this, Zhou Quan looked stunned, and then laughed twice awkwardly, "Your Highness, we should consider this in the long run!"
Xiao Jingyun frowned, "Why do we need to take a long-term view? Father's words should be fulfilled!"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you have forgotten that Chen Xiaobei has been married for a long time. Liu Rumei, Cui Hongyu, and a dead Huang Ying."
After hearing Zhou Quan's words, Prince Xiao Jingyun was silent for a while. After a long time, he slowly shook his head.
"So what? My father didn't say at the beginning that people who are already married are not allowed to marry the princess again."
"But our dynasty has always been like this. How can Her Royal Highness, the princess, be a child when she marries you?"
"Oh, what's the point? After marrying the princess, Chen Xiaobei will be the consort, and the princess will naturally be the principal wife. When the time comes, the father will give him a title, and Chen Xiaobei will make Cui Hongyu and Liu Rumei his concubine. This is no different. I have to tell my father later that I have to do it quickly, otherwise the whole world will be disappointed!"
at this time. Liu Xiangnan's house.
Two important guests came, the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan came with Xiao Han and others.
After the two returned to Shuozhou, they inquired that Chen Xiaobei had arrived in the capital, and they pursued him without stopping.
Seeing the two of them arriving, Chen Xiaobei was very excited and hurriedly greeted them grandly in the living room.
Before they could speak, Chen Xiaobei asked directly, "Two senior sisters, have you ever seen Liu Rumei along the way?"
Shen Ziyan and the Lotus Leader looked at each other, then looked at Chen Xiaobei, then looked at Liu Tie, Liu Ce, Liu Kai and others next to them, full of surprise, "Miss Liu, didn't Miss Liu withdraw early?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "He didn't come back, and he also lost contact with us."
After listening to his words, Shen Ziyan and the Lotus Leader felt even more incredible!
"We retreated all the way, and we didn't see any traces of soldiers and horses from the Great Earth Kingdom along the way. How could it be possible that Miss Liu didn't come back?"
"No, we sent a scout to see it when we came back. Along the Xiaoqing River, there were all people from the Great Earth Kingdom!" Xiaobei looked a little confused.
"But there really weren't any along the way after we came back." The Lotus Leader reiterated again.
At this time, the old housekeeper Liu Kai spoke, "So it must be that the Great Earth Kingdom has not found any trace of the young lady and the others, so they evacuated. If that is the case, the young lady and the others may be able to come back soon."
After hearing what Liu Kai said, Chen Xiaobei nodded, "That's the truth."
"You two, please go and have a rest first." Chen Xiaobei ordered someone to take the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan down to have a rest, while he turned around and came to see Liu Xiangnan.
Seeing Liu Xiangnan, Chen Xiaobei got straight to the point, "Father-in-law, now that the situation in the Great Tu Kingdom has become clear, I am afraid that Rumei and his army have withdrawn. Should we send people to search again?"
Liu Xiangnan looked happy and nodded, "Okay, this is good news. I will go to the palace immediately to explain the situation to the emperor and ask him to also arrange for people to enter the Great Earth Kingdom."
Liu Xiangnan went into the palace to meet the emperor. He dressed neatly and left the palace. Liu Kai was beside him, but he saw Liu Xiangnan was worried. He couldn't help but asked, "Master Hou, the situation in the country is no longer so tense. Why are you doing this instead?" Depressed.”
"I was thinking, Shen Ziyan and the others came back from the Earth Kingdom without any hindrance, but there was no movement in Rumei. I feel really uneasy!"
After listening to Liu Xiangnan's words, Liu Kai's heart skipped a beat. Frankly speaking, Liu Xiangnan was right. If everything is safe, it's time to come back.
At this time, Shen Ziyan and Xiao Qing were still doing laundry and cooking in this wealthy family's house. Seeing that it was noon, a middle-aged man walked into the kitchen. He was the housekeeper of this family named Harry.
Harry looked at the two of them and said loudly, "You two hurry up and cook. The master has to entertain distinguished guests at noon, so he will cook a few more dishes."
