In the end, Sheng's army failed to attack Chu.

After the news spread that Xia State was going to marry Chu State, Sheng State unanimously believed that it would be too risky to fight against both countries at the same time with Sheng State's current strength.

But Emperor Sheng, who lost his beloved son, was determined to avenge his son and make Chu State pay the price.

Therefore, all the ministers knelt in front of Zeyang Gate and begged Emperor Sheng to take back his orders.

Sheng Huang was already very old. When he learned about Sheng Jiajun's death, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted once.

After he woke up, he relied on his desire to avenge his son to support his body. Now, the opposition from the ministers stimulated him to suddenly become seriously ill, and his body and bones completely collapsed.

Who would be afraid of the declining emperor and the toothless tiger?

The happiest people in Sheng Kingdom today are the princes who were suppressed by Sheng Jiajun in the past.

The prince is dead and the father is dying. Now is the perfect time for them to ascend to power. One by one, they begin to form gangs to stabilize their power, while the ministers below begin to secretly work for the power of the dragon.

As Xie Chunchao predicted, the political affairs of the Sheng Kingdom fell into chaos due to competition for the reserve.

The spies she had previously placed in the Kingdom of Sheng also came in handy at this moment. They traveled among the powerful families in the Kingdom of Sheng and secretly lobbied the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Among them, Le Shangshu, who had his son beheaded for no reason for admonishing the emperor, was the first to defect...

After he defected, he secretly dragged many officials into trouble.

Let’s not mention the affairs of the prosperous country for now.

The post where Xie Chunchao stayed temporarily in Xia Kingdom received an uninvited guest.

"Princess, someone is coming from the palace." Yu Ning stepped forward and whispered in Xie Chunchao's ear.

Xie Chunchao frowned slightly. She had been in Xia Kingdom for many days, and she only went to the palace to pay a visit to the old emperor from afar on the day she first arrived. After that, she never entered the palace again, and she never had contact with anyone else in the palace.

Why are there people from the palace visiting today?

Xie Chunchao thought for a while but didn't expect who it was. Just as she was wondering, a high-pitched voice belonging to an eunuch came from the distance.

"I came here to pay homage to the Princess of Chu on the order of the good concubine."

A good concubine? Xie Chunchao was stunned for a moment, wondering why Concubine Liang suddenly sent someone to summon her.

The Emperor of Xia had not established a new queen since the death of the previous queen.

And this good concubine was not favored in the beautiful harem before, and her concubine position was promoted by the light of Rong Shen being crowned prince.

She was Rong Shen's biological mother and Xie Chunchao's soon-to-be mother-in-law. When she went to the palace to meet the emperor that day, she asked Rong Shen if he wanted to see his mother-in-law. His expression at that time was indistinguishable and he just said, "There is no need to see her."

Xie Chunchao also later heard that the relationship between Rong Shen and his mother and concubine was not good...

But no matter what, the good concubine will be her future mother-in-law.

Since she sent someone to invite him, she always wanted to meet him, otherwise it would look like she was secretive and shady.

After Xie Chunchao changed his clothes, he got on a small sedan sent by the palace and entered the palace gate.

She passed through the palace palaces, crossed the corridor garden, and passed through a palace door more than three meters high, and finally entered the palace where the good concubine was.

The completely black walls and the clean and reflective floor give people a strong sense of oppression. The gilt double-eared animal-faced cauldron on the small table in the hall is slowly rising, and green smoke is rising. The good concubine is sitting in the hall, with two people standing behind her. The palace maid holding a fan, her long-sleeved robe embroidered with golden peonies fell to the ground. There were several golden hairpins inserted diagonally in the towering temples, and they were surrounded by fresh flowers.

It is really a cluster of flowers, bright and gorgeous.

"Princess Chu State Xie Chunchao has met the good concubine." Xie Chunchao bowed slightly to show respect.

"Bold!" Concubine Liang was the first to attack, "As a junior, you are so rude when meeting an elder?"

Xie Chunchao:? ? ?

She didn't think she had done anything wrong. She was not married to Xia Guo yet, and she was still the Princess of Chu.

The good concubine is an elder, but she has just bowed to show respect. How could she be rude?

Ke Liangfei's next words made Xie Chunchao want to leave on the spot.

She also understood why Rong Shen didn't let her see his mother-in-law that day.

"Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Xie Chunchao raised his eyes and looked at her, "I only kneel to my parents in heaven and earth."

The manuscripts Liang Fei had originally compiled were suppressed by Xie Chunchao's eyes.

It's strange, this girl doesn't seem to be a big deal, but that look in her eyes...

The look in his eyes was exactly the same as that of the emperor and her son...

Seeing that Concubine Liang was silent, Xie Chunchao asked, "Why did Concubine Liang call me today?"

Liang Fei coughed slightly, remembering her purpose of looking for Xie Chunchao today.

She couldn't be frightened by a mere little girl.

She raised her head slightly and said, "You are really rude, girl. For the sake of your first offense, I will spare you this time."

Xie Chunchao remained silent, waiting for her next sentence.

Liang Fei said loudly, "Ping'er, come out."

As the good concubine finished speaking, a woman in green clothes walked out from behind the screen. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a plump figure, big eyes, and pretty lips.

"This is my niece from my natal family and Shen'er's cousin."

Xie Chunchao understood clearly that Liang Fei asked her to enter the palace today because she wanted to give Rong Shen a woman through her.

Rong Shen is the future emperor of Xia Kingdom. Although he told her that he only loves her in this life, he will only love her.

But Xie Chunchao was not stupid enough to believe that there were too few men like his father in the world.

Ning Heng is not the emperor yet, isn't he also obsessed with another woman?

Not to mention Rong Shen, there will be countless women who will succeed him in the future.

If she had to guard against everyone, she wouldn't have to do anything else in her life.

"Although you were born noble and are a princess of a country, my Shen'er will be the one to inherit the throne in the future, so she will inevitably be accompanied by women."

"I like Ping'er well. When you and Shen'er get married, Ping'er will marry you as your concubine."

"Many people in the court are dissatisfied with your marriage to Shen'er and are making noise. If you can take the initiative to accept a noble girl from the Xia Kingdom, you can also calm their resentment."

Liang Fei's words were both kind and powerful, and she seemed to be thinking about you, leaving you unable to find a reason to refuse.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably admit it under pressure.

But Xie Chunchao has never been an ordinary person.

"Liangfei, have you told Rong Shen about Ping'er?"

Liang Fei paused for a moment, a look of uneasiness flashed on her face, and then said, "As a prince of a country, Shen'er has a lot of things to do every day. How can a mother have the heart to disturb her son with such things?"

"You are Shen'er's future wife, and you have the responsibility to choose concubines for your husband."

"You don't need to ask him about this matter. I will make the decision with you."

Xie Chunchao said bluntly, "The future is ever-changing and no one can predict it."

"Prince Shen and I haven't held a wedding yet, so naturally I'm not his wife yet, so I can't make this decision for him."

"I'm sorry, Concubine Liang, but I can't help you with this matter."
