On the fifth day of the eighth month of the 13th year of Ruikang, the entire Zhennan Grand Governor's Office was decorated with lights and even the entire Guizhou City became joyful. Tomorrow is the wedding of Li Bin's eldest son Li Jie.

What made the people of Guizhou City talk about was that Li Jie married five brides as soon as he married, including Xue Li, the eldest daughter of the commander of the Western Barbarian Protectorate, Yang Zaixing, the eldest daughter of the commander of the Zhengzhou Prefecture, Qin Qiong, the third daughter of the commander of the Meizhou Prefecture, Lu Bu, the second daughter of the commander of the Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Huang Zhong, the second daughter of the commander of the Dongfan Prefecture.

In addition, Li Bin personally promised that the five women were Li Jie's wife regardless of their own.

In a courtyard in the back house of the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan, Li Bin's concubine Yan sighed to Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi and said, "Sister, my husband asked the prince to marry the daughters of five guards at once. It seems that he is really planning to leave the entire Zhennan army to the prince."

Yan is Concubine Yan in the harem of the former Fujun Kingdom, and Princess Rui'an Zhao Shuyi is one of Li Bin's two wifes.

Although Yan is several years older than Zhao Shuyi, because Zhao Shuyi is Li Bin's wife and Yan is just Li Bin's concubine, Yan must call Zhao Shuyi the sister.

Zhao Shuyi smiled slightly, "Xiaojie is the eldest son of his husband, and he was already designated as the crown prince by his husband. It is natural that he inherited the title of Zhennan Marquis in the future."

Yan said with a wry smile: "I just don't deserve it. Xiaokai is the husband's legitimate son, but in the future..."

Before Yan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Shuyi, "Sister, don't say this in the future. Xiaojie is the eldest son of the legitimate son, and he is humble and well-educated. He also loves every younger brother and sister very much. He is already recognized by the tens of millions of soldiers of the Zhennan Army. As soon as Xiaokai grows up, he can become his elder brother's helper."

Xiao Kai is the only son of Princess Zhao Shuyi of Ruian. Because Zhao Shuyi gave birth to her first two daughters, she gave birth to a son when she was pregnant for the third time. She was named Li Kai by Li Bin and was only eleven years old this year.

When Yan heard Zhao Shuyi say this, he quickly changed the subject, "Sister, don't blame me, I just said it casually. Today I came to see my sister, mainly to discuss with my sister, my family's engagement is about my family's engagement.

Now the prince is about to get married, and Xiao Pu and Xiao Rong are also engaged to the second daughter of Xue Li, the governor of the Western Barbarian Protectorate, and the second daughter of Yang Zaixing, the governor of the Zhengzhou governor.

I was wondering if I should also book a marriage for my Xiaoxu."

Li Bin's second son's name is Li Pu, and his third son's name is Li Xu. Their mothers are the queen of Shen Xiuyan and Shufei Feng, the former harem of Fuzhen Kingdom.

Yan is the biological mother of Li Bin's fourth son Li Xu. In addition, Yan gave birth to Li Bin's twenty-third son Li Deng, fifty-fifth son Li Hui, and three daughters for Li Bin.

Zhao Shuyi then smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, my husband seems to have a candidate."

Yan asked hurriedly: "Sister, can you know which marriage your husband is going to make for Xiao Xu?"

"My husband seems to be preparing to let Xiao Xu marry the fifth daughter of the governor of Xiangzhou garrison Lu Bu."

When Yan left the yard where Zhao Shuyi lived, a personal maid next to Zhao Shuyi couldn't help but say, "Princess, this Yan is very thoughtful. The princess must be careful when talking to her in the future."

This personal maid grew up in the palace with Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi. After Zhao Shuyi married Li Bin, the personal maid was also among the more than 30 maids who were dowrying, and she has never married. She is one of Zhao Shuyi's most trusted confidants.

Zhao Shuyi said indifferently: "No matter how much she thinks, it is useless. Even if the title of Zhennan Hou falls on my son Xiaokai, she will not be as good as her son. What's more, this time, my husband asked Li Jie to marry the daughters of five guards at once, and it was also for some people in the back house to cut off the unrealistic thoughts."

The personal maid looked at the house and couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Princess, don't you really let the young master fight?"

Zhao Shuyi shook her head slowly and said, "Xiao Kai is just eleven years old this year. It's too early to talk about whether to compete or not. What we need to do now is to urge Xiao Kai to practice martial arts diligently and study hard. Let's consider the future things in the future!"

Then Zhao Shuyi asked: "Is there any new news in Yong'an City?"

"Reporting to the princess, there is no new news coming from Yong'an City recently, but there is some news that the important officials sent by the imperial court to participate in the crown prince's wedding this time may require our Zhennan Grand Governor's Office to return the military and political power of Huaizhou Prefecture, Xinzhou Prefecture and Rongzhou Prefecture."

Zhao Shuyi curled his lips, "Does the court really think that by relying on empty words and white teeth, he can force his husband to give up Huaizhou Prefecture, Xinzhou Prefecture and Rongzhou Prefecture?"

Even if my husband wants to let him go, the officials from the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office and the generals from the Zhennan Army will not agree.

If my husband hadn't been concerned about some things, how could he withstand the tens of millions of tiger and wolf troops in Zhennan Army with the strength of the imperial court?"

After leaving the yard where Zhao Shuyi lived, Yan returned directly to the yard where he lived, but Yan's face was not very good at this time.

Yan found that his three sons and three daughters were not around, and he couldn't help but shouted to the maids: "Where are the three young masters and the three young ladies? Where have you gone to practice martial arts and study at home?"

At this time, a middle-aged maid hurriedly said, "Madam, the three young masters and three young ladies have all gone to the front yard to help the prince set up the auditorium. The young masters and ladies of each yard have basically gone to help."

When Yan heard this, he snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else.

The middle-aged maid waved her hand and asked all the other maids in the room to leave, then asked in a low voice: "Madam, how about it?"

Yan sighed, "Princess Ruian is very cautious, and I can't hear any dissatisfaction with the prince's marriage to the five daughters of the governor of the governor of Xiangzhou. In addition, I learned from Princess Ruian that his husband would probably engage Xu'er with the fifth daughter of the governor of the governor of the governor of the Xiangzhou governor of Lu Bu, alas--"

The middle-aged maid asked carefully: "Madam, Lu Bu is the garrison commander. Is there anything wrong with the young master getting engaged to Lu Bu's daughter?"

Yan said bitterly: "The key is that Lu Bu's third daughter, who is about to become one of the prince's wifes, are both son-in-laws, and Li Jie is also the prince. In the future, Xu'er may not get any support from Lu Bu."

The middle-aged maid pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, there are twelve guards in my Zhennan army. In fact, there are still many young masters who can choose to marry. I heard that the eldest daughter of Yuchi Gong, the governor of Bizhou, has never been engaged, but I heard that Yuchi Gong's eldest daughter looks a little ordinary."

"The eldest daughter of Yuchi Gong, the governor of Bizhou Governor? This is a good choice!

It doesn’t matter if you look ordinary, but if your husband has already decided, it will probably be difficult to change it.”

The middle-aged maid suggested: "Madam, if the young master took the initiative to ask the marquis, I believe the marquis would not object."

"This idea is good. When Xu'er comes back, I'll discuss it with him."

"Madam, I want to go out of the house later and go to my brother's house to see it."

"Okay, go, go, go to the account room before leaving, pay one hundred taels of silver.

Go to a relative's house, don't go empty-handed, and ask the manager's house to send you a carriage."

"No! No! Madam, I have always saved my monthly salary, and I have the money myself."

"Just do what I said!"

"Thank you for your reward, Mrs.

The middle-aged maid walked out of the house and said to several young maids outside the door: "Madam is in a bad mood today, so you are all careful to serve you."

"Yes, the general manager." Several young maids said in unison.

After the middle-aged maid left the Grand Governor's Office in a carriage, she came to a pharmacy in the north of Guizhou City.

When the middle-aged maid entered the medicine shop, the shopkeeper immediately shouted happily: "Big sister, you haven't seen your brother for almost half a year!"

The middle-aged maid smiled and said, "Brother, I am the chief manager of the First Court of the Marquis' Mansion. There are too many trivial facts. I took the time to come here today and I have to rush back later.

Tomorrow is the marriage of the prince, and I have to work hard too!”

The shopkeeper immediately ordered the two pharmacy shop staff: "Go and get some pastries and tea for the brothers who are driving the train.

In addition, you two will take care of the business in the store. I will take my eldest sister-in-law and nephew to see her sister-in-law."

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop led the middle-aged maid through the pharmacy shop's store and walked towards the backyard.

After the middle-aged maid met her sister-in-law and nephew, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy asked his wife to take her son to the restaurant on the street to buy some good wine and food.

When the pharmacy shopkeeper's wife and son left, the pharmacy shopkeeper immediately closed the door.

The middle-aged maid asked coldly, "What's wrong with letting me come here in such a hurry?"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy lowered his voice and said, "The order has been sent from Yong'an City. I hope you can find a way to get rid of Li Bin's eldest son Li Jie."

The middle-aged maid said with a sarcastic look on her face: "Get rid of Li Jie? Do those people in Yong'an City know that Li Jie is a great master warrior? A great master warrior or the prince of Zhennan Army. If you want to get rid of it, they look down on me too much."

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that this order is almost impossible to complete, but since the order from Yong'an City has been sent, I cannot help but notify you."

The middle-aged maid said angrily: "Those people in Yong'an City think that if they have seized our handle, we have to obey their words?

The orders they sent were more weird than the other. Tell them that Wang Min can't execute this order!"

It turned out that the middle-aged maid next to Yan was Zhang Jialuo, the secretary of the Dayan court, and Jiang Wenjun, the right chief of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, who secretly sent to the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office to lurk in the assassin.

Later, a large number of powerful ministers led by the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhang Jialuo and the Secretary of the Secretariat Jiang Wenjun were eliminated by the Emperor Zhao Xin in one fell swoop, Wang Min, the assassins lurking in the Zhennan army, were taken over by the intelligence agencies of the Dayan court.

The initial task Wang Min received was to assassinate Li Bin, the Marquis of Zhennan. Unfortunately, Li Bin was very cautious in protecting his own safety. Wang Min entered the Grand Governor's Office of Zhennan for many years but had no chance to assassinate Li Bin.

Wang Min, the group of assassins lurking in the Zhennan Army, was taken over by the Dayan court, or the emperor Zhao Xin, and the task of assassinating Li Bin was never cancelled. However, a few years have passed, and Wang Min and her accomplices have not found any chance.

What angered Wang Min was that after she was taken over by the intelligence agencies of the current Dayan court, she often received tasks that she could not complete at all, such as exploring some top-secret military plans of the Zhennan Army.

You should know that Wang Min is just a maid next to Li Bin's concubine, so she could not get in touch with the top secret military plans of the Zhennan Army.

The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "I think we are still dragging on as we used to, and we can't find a chance. After all, we were incorporated. If we annoyed those people and shook our foundation, it would be bad."

Wang Min took a deep breath and said, "Okay, just do what you said! Remember, there is no particularly important thing recently, don't contact me anymore. In the Grand Governor's Office of Zhennan, I don't know how many secret spies inserted in Yunshe."

That night, Yan called his son Li Xu to her room. Wang Min, who had returned to the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan, closed the door, and Wang Min himself guarded outside the door.

"Xu'er, there is one thing that I want to discuss with you."

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"I'm having a whisper from your second wife today. Your father is going to get engaged to the fifth daughter of Lu Bu, the governor of the Xiangzhou Governor."

The second wife of Yan refers to Princess Ruian Zhao Shuyi, and Li Bin's other wife Xie Yingying, who was called the aunt by Li Bin's other sons.

When Li Xu heard this, his brows frowned slightly, but then he stretched out, "I have seen Lu Jun's fifth daughter, and she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful country."

Yan said anxiously: "Xu'er, if you really marry Lu Bu's fifth daughter, you may not get any support from Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu's third daughter is the prince's wife, you must understand this."

Li Xu said calmly: "My parents' orders and matchmaker's words, since my father has decided, I can only accept it."

Yan lowered his voice at this time and said, "As far as my mother knows, Yuchi Jiao, the eldest daughter of Yuchi Gong, the governor of Bizhou, has not been engaged yet. As long as Xu'er proposes to your father, he wants to marry Yuchi Jiao, his father will definitely agree."

Li Xu said bitterly: "Mom, have you never met Yuchi Jiao, the eldest daughter of Yuchi Envoy?"

Yan was stunned, "I have never seen him before, but I heard that Yuchi Jiao looks a bit ordinary. However, Xu'er, you can't just look at your appearance when you get married, but you have to make plans for the future. You should understand what Wei Niang means."

Li Xu immediately said, "Mom, the child has seen Yuchi Jiao. Her appearance can't be called ordinary. She looks like a female yaksha. She has never seen anyone uglier than her when she grows so old."

"Ah? It's really that ugly?"

“It’s even better.”

Then Li Xu said, "It is precisely because Yuchi Jiao is too ugly that I cannot take the initiative to propose to my father to marry Yuchi Jiao, otherwise it will likely immediately arouse the alertness of my father and elder brother, and will cause me a lot of trouble."

"Then... ask for your mother again to see which guard has a suitable lady at home."
