Chapter Forty-Three
Until the night fell slowly, Mi Xuan was thinking about the last question the man asked: Who is the enemy? Little did she know that the main purpose of Xiong Jing's question was to hope that she would not think about it tonight and not cry again. Mi Xuan did not think about it or cry again, but when the night fell, she came to her senses and thought that the man was going to marry another woman today, and tears couldn't help but flow down again.
Political marriage requires political strength. She was born in Qin and could only rely on political forces that were pro-Qin. However, Chu and Qin broke off diplomatic relations ten years ago, and Yang Wenjun, who was most pro-Qin, was dead. Even if Yang Wenjun was still there, the current situation could not allow the relationship between Chu and Qin to be aligned.
She passed on a letter to the King of Qin that the Chu-Qin alliance is not a sudden fever, but this is the Mi family. The Mi family was granted the title of Jinling, and the next generation should be Jin. This is the meaning of the Mi family. As an alien clan, the Mi family, in addition to relying on being a relative of the foreign clan, the most important resource is to be familiar with the Qin State. Only if the Chu-Qin alliance is good or if the Chu-Qin alliance is willing to be good can this resource be effective and the Mi family can have a place in the Chu State's political arena.
When the outsiders arrived in Chu State, there were no private soldiers but wanted to grab the position in the court. What was this a bad rule? The ministers of the court were both determined and worked together to defeat the Mi family. For the sake of the king, the queen's position was gone, and the wife always wanted one. Unexpectedly, someone had ulterior motives and didn't even give her the wife. She found a reason for the same surname to not get married, but the Chu Palace refused to let her go.
Xiong Jing was furious and had no choice but to burn a wedding dress for three days, and he had to come back obediently in three days. In this round of political battle, whether it was Mi or Xiong Jing, they were all losers, and the ministers in the court were not winners. The real winners were Zhao State and several Taifu with ulterior motives.
As the matter was not so, but Cai Shimi and an outsider got in. It was not a big deal to send a letter to the King of Qin. It just so happened that the Qin people made great efforts to invade Chu. All the matters accumulated to lead to the current situation.
Mi Xuan is just a woman and can't do anything about it. Although the king's father, Mi Chang, is a gentleman in Xincheng, is not Qin after all. He has no connections in the court. He can't raise many people in the small fiefdom except for the Mi family's children. Jinling City cannot even get enough spears with more than 200 people.
Such strength is better than most honorary scholars, but when Zhu Zhu, the chief of honorary scholars of Zhu Fangyi, Mi Chang, who is a relative of the foreigners, should be polite. Mi Xuan's dowry still asked Zhu Fangyi's maritime merchants who borrowed money to purchase. The maritime merchants did not mention the money for the sake of the king, and did not say when they would pay back the money.
Now, Mi Xuan did not marry into the Chu Palace and became the queen. The dowry he bought in the past (jade bi, treasure, literary talent, sable fur, jewelry, and beauty) was not realized for a while. Not only was the tribe so poor, but he also owed more than 10,000 yuan in the maritime merchants. At that time, the queen's position was not yet determined, and Mi decided to make a big gamble. The dowry everywhere, plus the dowry that did not make Mi Xuan look too shabby, spent a total of more than 18,000 yuan.
Mi Xuan only learned about these things after she came back from Qi. She dared not tell Xiong Jing, so that men would not look down on her. There were not many soldiers in the clan, so this could not be broken in Chu. Men could not be broken in and women could not be married. This is a realistic portrayal of Mi's family.
Mi Xuan gradually stopped crying. She became more and more aware of the current situation of Mi and the reality she was in. Crying was useless. She was no longer the daughter who was spoiled by Queen Mother Zu, nor the Queen of Chu who was treated by the temple's palace maids a few months ago. Thinking of the shock when she put on that robe a few months ago, and thinking about the moment she was sitting outside Ji Ying, she actually laughed out loud.
"Why are sister laughing?" Mi Ni didn't know how to comfort her when she was crying. Seeing her laughing, she walked in with Mi Jiao and others.
The queen has always had a lot of dowry people, and nephew Di is not just Mi Ni and Mi Jiao. Mi Ke, Mi Long and Mi Qi are the same as Mi Jiao, Mi Suo, Mi Huo, Mi Kui, Mi Jue, Mi Qian, Mi Ling, and Mi Ling. In addition, Mi Yu, Mi Wei, Mi Zhi, and Mi Qing are four beauties secretly sold to become the surname Mi to compete for favor.
Basically, we can tell from the name that Mi Ni was born from her legitimate mother, with a special name; Mi Xuan, Mi Ke, Mi Long and Mi Yi were all born from her concubine's mother, and they were cousins, and their names were all jade. According to Qin's rules, the lords were for at most three generations. After Mi Ren's death, Mi Ren's family was no longer noble. To show humility, Mi Xuan's niece's name was pepper, pine and croak, all of which were vegetable names; as for the four beauties who secretly bought beautiful pine, they were not from their own family, so they were named husk, Wei, Mi, and pine, which were all wild vegetables.
Today is the day when Mi's political situation is defeated. No matter whether the women are wise or not, they dare not make any noise, for fear of making Mi Xuan unhappy. After Mi Xuan cried, she suddenly laughed, and more than a dozen women with bright charms ran over with Mi Ni.
"It's nothing, just remember the ridiculous things." She was happy, the whole clan was happy, she cried, and the whole clan was sad. Mi Xuan couldn't help but sigh. She looked at the girls and said, "The prince's letter is here today, and she talked about your marriage..."
Mi Xuan was surprised when she mentioned the marriage. They were dowry. Although Mi Xuan did not marry into the Chu Palace, the king loved it very much and specially built this small town on the bank of Yangshui, which was equivalent to a Chu Palace. They could still be favored. Unexpectedly, the prince's father wrote to him and said about his marriage. Doesn't this mean that he could not marry into the Chu Palace?
"What does the prince's intention mean?" Mi Ling said anxiously, "Auntie is married to the king? We are waiting, we are dowrying for the aunt and have married the king. How can we get married again?"
"The king has said that women with the surname Mi should not be concubines." Mi Ling is the most beautiful among the Mi women. Mi Xuan also likes her, but the situation is different from before. Mi wants to make major adjustments, and marrying a daughter is one of them. "And I am married to the king... Who knows me and the king and those common people in Linzeli? Who will believe it?"
Mi Xuan asked the girls speechless. Lin Zeli's wedding was just a private marriage. The king's court of Chu, and no countries would admit this kind of elopement wedding. Mi Xuan said to Mi Ling: "Zhu Fangyi and Zhu Zhu's wife have died for a year. The prince's father has responded to his matchmaker and wants to give you Ping to him..."
After hearing Mi Xuan's words, Mi Ling's face, who had just dreamed of a concubine, changed suddenly. She squatted on the ground and cried, shouting: "I don't want it, I don't want it... I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it..."
Zhu Zhu was a commoner before becoming a wise scholar. He was a coolie who resisted corn in Cangbing. He was enfeoffed in Zhufang for seven or eight years. He still couldn't change the habit of commoners walking barefoot, reaching out to grab food, and going to the toilet anywhere. Zhu Fangyi in Jinling was close to him. Mi Ling happened to see this person and was frightened at that time, although Zhu Zhu was smiling at her.
Because of her outstanding appearance, Mi Ling originally wanted to be the concubine of the King of Qin with Mi Xuan. At first, she was less than aged and was not yet in the forefront. Later, Xiong Jing snatched Mi Xuan away. From the King of Qin to the King of Chu, from the wedding to the lewd end, the worried Mi Ling moved into Xiaoyi and was completely relieved. She was thinking about how to please Mi Xuan and was able to serve her sleep, but she was beaten with a blow and the girl was heartbroken all over the ground.
Even the most beautiful Mi Ling was going to marry a coolie-born Yushi. The expectant heart of the girls fell down. Some people cried with Mi Ling, some grabbed the corners of their clothes and remained silent, some were at a loss, and some were complaining in a low voice.
"He Yan?" The crying sound was very small, but Mi Xuan still heard something, it was her sister Mi Long.
"Why did my sister do when she was bedtime, why..." Because she was her own sister, Mi Long complained, but she dared to say only half of her words.
"Why don't you call you to serve, right?" Mi Xuan knew what his sister meant.
Every time Xiong Jing enters Xiaoyi and has a good time with Mi Xuan, the girls will feel expectant. Under normal circumstances, as long as there is a chance, Mi Xuan should let the girls sleep in bed. Whether they can get pregnant with the eldest prince's son is another matter. As long as the woman who has served the bed is taken, the temple people will record their names and hand them over to Lang Yin for preservation. In the future, the doctor's court found out that they were pregnant, and they would compare the records of the bed. Only when they served the bed is served, they would be the real concubine. They could stay in Xiaoyi without serving the bed, but were just dispensable palace servants.
"What's the hard time to serve? The king is in full swing. Every time he has fun with his sister... for a night." Mi Ke is an honest man. Even after returning from Qi, Mi Xuan heard about the bed for more than ten days. After hearing about the drought and drought, he couldn't help but complain. "Now that Zhao's daughter is in power in the palace, and her sister lives in this small town and has no name. If we are not here, how can Zhao bully her sister?"
"What's the matter with my sister? I've arrived at the bedside the night before, but the king drank me away!" Mi Xuan's face was blushing, and Mi Qing said. She took off all her clothes and wanted to go to bed, but she didn't expect to eat the couch. "The king only loves sister and does not need others to sleep with her."
Mi Qi's words were half complaining, which was also helpless. Mi Long, who was complaining, looked at her a little unbelievable when she heard this. She covered her mouth with a smile: "The night before, Sister Feng said she went to the toilet but applied the powder for a long time. It turned out to be...hehe..."
"Tu!" Mi Yu is not from Mi's family, she just bought a beauty with no status. Such a person dared to make fun of her. Mi Yu immediately spat. Mi Yu didn't care about her spitting on her. After all, she was already surnamed Mi. If she didn't show some value, she would probably be given a fat black man by Mi's family Xu Ping like Mi Ling.
"In the opinion of a lowly concubine, the king really loves his daughter and son. However, the mother in the palace has always been noble. If the daughter cannot quickly get pregnant with the son, the queen will marry the prince and then join the bed with the prince after the temple in March. She will be pregnant before the daughter.
The face is easy to grow old, but it is difficult to be favored. The female princess cannot give birth to the eldest son before the queen, so they will lose to the queen. If they only give birth to the princess, they will lose to the queen. If they are always infertile, it is inevitable that the king will pamper the female princess..."
