Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

On New Year's Eve, the court has a three-day holiday.

While Zhu Youjian was reflecting on himself, the various houses in the capital were very lively.

Especially those generals who have just been knighted, their thresholds are almost broken.

People bring gifts every day, including relatives who haven't been around for a long time.

No, early in the morning, in Zhendong Mansion.

Mao Wenlong, who had just finished breakfast, was practicing martial arts in the courtyard as usual.

Not far away, Hai Lanzhu was chatting with Shen Yatou with a big belly.

For this concubine, Shen Daya (fictitious, I can't find out who Mao Wenlong's wife is) didn't show any expression.

On the contrary, she takes care of her like a sister.

This actually made Hai Lanzhu, who was not very courageous, very grateful.

After all, she was just a concubine. If Shen Daya didn't like her, she would be in trouble.

At this moment, the housekeeper outside the courtyard suddenly ran over and shouted with excitement.

"Master, there is an imperial edict!"

Ok?

Mao Wenlong, who was concentrating on practicing martial arts, stopped quickly when he heard the imperial edict.

Before he could ask further questions, a father-in-law walked in from outside the courtyard gate.

Take a closer look, good guy!

It turned out to be Wang Chengen.

"I've met the prince."

Mao Wenlong quickly raised his hands and greeted Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen smiled and nodded before saying.

"General Mao, the emperor's decree."

"But your Majesty said, considering General Mao is working hard outside, you can just stand and listen."

After saying that, he opened the imperial edict in his hand.

Stand and listen?

Mao Wenlong, who was about to kneel down, grinned.

As expected of your Majesty, I must have added this sentence considering that Shen Yatou is in poor health and Hai Lanzhu is pregnant.

Although he didn't say anything, Mao Wenlong felt warm in his heart.

Nothing to say!

Your Majesty is truly a good man!

But soon...

The smile on his face froze...

"Follow the emperor's edict to carry out the mission."

"General Mao has been stationed on Phi Island all year round and has worked hard with great achievements. This time he defeated the Japanese country and increased our country's prestige."

"I decided to add another thousand taels of silver and Huang Taiji's concubine as a reward."

"Appreciate this!"

Listening to the imperial edict read by Wang Chengen.

Mao Wenlong, who was a little moved at first, froze immediately!

Let’s not talk about money or anything, why is there another one?

Da Yuer, right?

There really is no way to escape!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can't you change the situation to someone else?

Are you really not afraid that Huang Taiji will fight for me!

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Mao Wenlong's mouth was slightly bitter, he shook his head and raised his hand to accept the imperial edict.

What he could do was just accept it with a smile.

"General Mao, the emperor still has a verbal message."

"I will let you enter the palace in three days."

"It is said that North Korea cannot be left without generals for a day and needs to make arrangements in advance."

It seemed that he saw the helplessness in Mao Wenlong's eyes.

Wang Chengen shook his head and then added.

"Yes, I understand."

Three days later?

Mao Wenlong, who had just put away the imperial edict, narrowed his eyes and nodded.

It seems that His Majesty has another plan.

Okay, as long as there's a war, it won't matter!

Wang Chengen did not stay long. After reading the imperial edict, he hurried back to the palace to resume his duties.

Only Mao Wenlong was left holding the imperial edict and looking at Shen Daya awkwardly.

"If I remember correctly, Huang Taiji only had three concubines in total when he became emperor."

"Two of them are in the hands of the master. This is really an honor."

"I heard that Da Yu'er is not bad at beauty. Master is very lucky."

Seeing that Mao Wenlong was a little embarrassed, Shen Daya couldn't help but joked.

This time, Mao Wenlong looked even more embarrassed.

Equally embarrassed was Hai Lanzhu next to her.

She and Dayu'er were sisters, and now they were together again, which was somewhat speechless.

and...

In fact, she didn't really want Dayu'er to enter Zhendong Mansion.

It's not that they have a bad relationship, it's mainly that she, as a sister, understands Da Yu'er's character very well.

You have to be strong-tempered, but not gentle to others.

If Shen Daya is angered, he may not end well.

Although Shen Daya is unable to have children due to health reasons, she is the legal wife after all!

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of the head wife was not something that concubines like them could shake.

She was afraid that Da Yu'er would have some evil thoughts.

But no matter how worried she was, it was now a fact that Da Yu'er entered the house.

All I can do is go back and give it a good beating.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"I know this is His Majesty's plan."

"But since you have entered Zhendong Mansion, you must abide by the rules."

"You can't look down on others just because she is Huang Taiji's concubine."

"After all, she was born into a large tribe on the grassland, so she can be considered a noble family."

"It is worthy of you, the Marquis."

"Hey, after all, they are all poor people..."

Beside him, Shen Daya couldn't help laughing when he saw how embarrassed Mao Wenlong was.

She is not an ignorant woman, how could she not understand the meaning.

Furthermore, she was sterile, so if he wanted to continue the Mao family's legacy, Mao Wenlong would definitely marry a concubine.

So she didn't have much of an opinion about it.

As long as these two concubines don't cause trouble, everything will be fine.

"Don't worry, girl, I, Mao Wenlong, will not bully a woman."

"Now that I have entered the house, I will definitely treat her well."

"But if you are disobedient, Madam can also make her own decision."

Mao Wenlong touched his head and chuckled twice.

But let’s keep it clear.

Especially tell it to Hai Lanzhu!

He was not worried about Hai Lanzhu's thoughts. The past few months of contact had already made him see clearly that Hai Lanzhu was timid and obsessed with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

The main purpose of saying this is to let her remind that Da Yu'er.

I heard that this woman is very capable, so please don’t disturb the purity of this family!

"Okay, then bring them to me to take a look."

"Asking the butler to add a few more meals in the evening will be a blessing."

"But there is no small courtyard in the house right now, so let her and Hai Lanzhu live together temporarily."

"When the entire Marquis Mansion is renovated later, we can create a separate courtyard."

Shen Daya knew that this was Mao Wenlong trying to support her, so she shook her head helplessly.

Although she doesn't like fighting, she is not a weak woman.

The Shen family behind her is a prominent family in Hangzhou.

Compared with her identity and status, she has nothing to fear from these prairie women.

But she didn't refuse Mao Wenlong's kindness.

As a Marchioness, it was her duty to suppress these concubines and make them behave themselves.

Then let the person who writes the letter come first. If the person who writes the letter is not good, then let’s talk about it later!

That night, Dayu'er was taken into Zhendong Mansion.

Looking at a strange place, Dayu'er was very cautious.

However, after seeing Hai Lanzhu, he looked obviously happy.

But when she saw Hai Lanzhu's big belly clearly, she couldn't help but frown again.

But she knew that she didn't have much choice at this time.

He could only talk softly to Shen Daya at the dinner table.

When night fell, Hai Lanzhu pulled her into his small courtyard.

Only then did the two sisters have time to whisper.
