The Rebirth of the Concubine

Prince Deming passed away suddenly, and his rights will be replaced by his only son Yuan Hao. Yuan Hao's heart is heavy but excited at the moment, and his desire for power is also quietly expanding.

Wei Muhe and the princess heard crying from the direction of the bedroom, and their chanting stopped abruptly. The princess looked outside the house, and slowly got up from the futon on the ground, walked to the door, and supported the door frame.

"Mother Concubine?" Wei Muhe called softly.

"Finally, I ended up like this. I hesitated for half my life because of this woman. I don't know what the prince was thinking at the moment of his death." The princess smiled bitterly. She was only the concubine of the prince for the rest of her life, and she did not take the post. It was all thanks to Zhao Yuer.

"Mother and concubine's day is sad." Wei Muhe stood up from the futon after saying that, and gently put the rosary in his hand on the shelf.

The concubine smiled at Wei Muhe, that smile was bitter in Wei Muhe's eyes, but the concubine's eyes were slightly reddened, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her body trembled.

"Your concubine will save the prince later, and Yuan Hao will invite the master to do things later. The concubine needs to pay more attention." After the princess said, she turned and walked slowly towards the bedroom, step by step, the steps were very difficult , Wei Muhe watched her shoulders shrunk and wiped her eyes with her cuff, she guessed that the princess was crying.

The prince made a big trip, and the Xingqing Mansion was full of mourning, and the palace also hung up all the objects for sacrifice. When the funeral of Prince Deming was over, Yuan Hao also followed the people's will and inherited the throne.

"Prince Yuan Hao is so majestic and gallant, he is more youthful than the previous king." It was the famous general No Liqi who spoke.

Yuan Hao smiled triumphantly. Today he met with the court ministers for the first time as King Xiping in Baoqing Hall, the main hall.

Wei Mushan delighted in listening to Ye Liqi's flattery, and felt disdainful in his heart. Although Ye Liqi is highly valued by Yuan Hao, he is the Minister of Fufu State entrusted by the Queen Mother, and the Minister of Zhongshu appointed by the former king. , Yuan Hao still trusts him the most with full confidence in his heart.

"Now the prince has no heirs, and there is only Wei Mu's concubine in the harem, should the prince recruit the beauties in the city, expand the harem, and extend the heirs?" Ye Li said, his current selfishness is to let Yuan Hao marry his daughter Nori cream.

Wei Muhe became the imperial concubine six years ago, he thought that Yuanhao would marry Ye Lishuang together, but he turned down the marriage because he was too young. Which of us doesn't know what he's thinking.

"Now there is no decree on the status of the harem, so the concubine feels sad. After the canonization is completed, it will not be too late for the prince to expand the harem." Wei Mushan said happily, clasping his hands.

The two insisted on their own opinions on this matter, and the others looked at each other and didn't say much.

Yuan Hao smiled and waved his hand.

"Ai Qing, don't argue. The bones of the previous king are not cold. If this king accepts concubines wantonly, he will be criticized by the world, and he has no sense of filial piety." After Yuan Hao finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Liqi meaningfully.

Ye Liqi immediately instructed, cupped his hands and praised Yuan Hao's filial piety, and everyone echoed loudly.

"The envoys of the Liao and Song Dynasties have an audience." An eunuch said in a shrill voice.

"Please." Yuan Hao sat on the throne, watching two people slowly walking in from the palace gate, one was wearing Liao costume, the other was wearing Song Dynasty official palace, and the two walked together, Yuan Hao couldn't help feeling funny.

"My lord, I'm the envoy of Xuanhui South Court and Shuofang Jiedu envoy Xiao Congshun." The Liao Kingdom stood in front of the officials of the Song Dynasty and spoke first.

The official of the Song Dynasty was taken aback, thinking that this clearly shows that the Liao Kingdom has a closer relationship with Xixia than the Song Dynasty.

"The deputy envoy of the protocol, Zhu Yunzhong, is here to pay homage to Prince Yuanhao." Zhu Yunzhong bowed his hands and said.

Yuan Hao was taken aback for a moment, Song Chao clearly looked down on him and even sent a deputy envoy to see him, but Zhu Yunzhong took out a scroll from his cuff, opened it slowly, squinted at Xiao Conshun, and then said loudly.

"Confer the title of Li Yuanhao as the Grand Master of the Special Advancement Inspection School and the Jiedu Envoy of the Dingnan Army, the envoy of Xia Yinsui Youjing and other states to observe and dispose of the abbots, and the king of Xiping." After Zhu Yunzhong finished speaking, he put away the scroll and handed it to him. The eunuch standing beside Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao's prejudice against the Song Dynasty was already deep in his heart, and he was not interested in a small envoy conferred by the Song Dynasty.

"Xingzong Yeluzong of Liao Dynasty conferred the title of Princess Xingping to Xiao Rongyue, the daughter of the clan, to fulfill the marriage friendship between Liao and Xia, and conferred Li Yuanhao as the King of Xixia." Not to be outdone, Xiao Conshun also took out a scroll and used it Said in a louder voice than Zhu Yunzhong.

"Princess Xingping's boudoir name is very interesting. It comes from my dynasty Yan Shu's poem The Lihua Courtyard Melting the Moon, The Catkin Pond and the Light Wind." Zhu Yunzhong said with a sense of sarcasm.

Yuan Hao felt that today's scene was really a test for the two envoys, so he didn't interrupt, just waiting for Xiao Conshun's answer.

"My Liao Dynasty respected the culture of the Central Plains, especially the literati of the noble dynasty. It should be comparable to the Sui and Tang dynasties. It's a pity..." Xiao Conshun didn't finish his sentence, but closed his mouth.

"What's the pity?" Zhu Yunzhong was dissatisfied with Xiao Conshun's hesitation, and asked, putting on the demeanor of a great country.

"It's a pity that the Gui Dynasty only endowed our country with poetry and songs." Xiao Conshun smiled and replied sarcastically.

Zhu Yunzhong's face turned blue and red at Xiao Conshun's words. Seeing that Yuan Hao on the throne had no intention of persuading him, he tried his best to get back to the city.

"I am facing a great country, how can you and other barbarians know everything, you are really arrogant." Zhu Yunzhong said angrily.

When Yuan Hao heard this, he immediately felt unhappy. Zhu Yunzhong said that about the Liao Kingdom, and his Xixia was even weaker than Daliao, so it must be like an ant in the eyes of the Song Dynasty.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and a vicious thought flashed in his heart. He really wanted to kill Zhu Yunzhong on the spot, but the diplomacy between the two countries, if he didn't kill him, Yuan Hao could only sulk.

"Forget it, the two adults came to Xixia as our guests today, not to quarrel." Yuan Hao suppressed his emotions and waved his hands.

The two envoys under the seat bowed their hands together and saluted, saying yes again and again.

"Then where is Xiao Rongyue?" Yuan Hao looked at Xiao Conshun and asked.

"It's in the embassy of the Liao Kingdom in Xingqing Prefecture. If the King of Xixia wants to see him, I will send someone to invite him immediately." Xiao Conshun said respectfully.

Yuan Hao nodded, Xiao Conshun whispered something to the casual guard, the guard received the order and immediately rushed out of the palace gate.

Seeing Yuan Hao acting like this, the important ministers in the court felt strange, especially Ye Liqi. Just now Yuan Hao clearly said that he would not take a concubine for the time being. Now when he heard that she was a beautiful woman from the Liao Kingdom, he was going to meet him immediately. It was a different person.

"I have something else I want to ask Lord Zhu." While waiting for Xiao Rongyue, Yuan Hao asked Zhu Yunzhong again.

"Please tell me, King Xiping." Zhu Yunzhong and Xiao Conshun called Yuan Hao completely different, which shows that Zhu Yunzhong did not recognize the canonization of the Liao Kingdom at all.

"Why didn't the Song Dynasty send beautiful women to marry Xixia? Could it be that this king is not good enough for a woman from the Song Dynasty's clan?" Yuan Hao laughed and said jokingly.

After hearing these words, Zhu Yunzhong's back immediately broke out in cold sweat, and Yuan Hao in front of him was hiding a knife in his smile, he was more insidious and cunning than his father, Lord Deming.

"I, Emperor Jingyou, have no heirs. Several princesses have died one after another. Only Princess Chen Guo is much older than the prince, that's all." .

Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows, thinking that as an envoy, who is not a quick-witted person?I'm afraid I can't take advantage of these two people, so I give up.

After waiting for a while, everyone heard the eunuch shout.

"Princess Liao Xingping has an audience."

Everyone turned to look sideways, and saw a girl in a rose-red gown with cross-neck and narrow sleeves, and a yellow belt with a red thread and cloud pattern around her waist, walking in.

Xiao Rongyue bent over and knelt down to greet Yuan Hao.

"Raise your head." Yuan Hao said with interest.

Xiao Rongyue didn't hesitate, and slowly raised her head, looking at Yuan Hao with piercing eyes.

That face was really ordinary, and it could only be called handsome. Ye Liqi, who dared to watch from the side, was relieved, this girl was not as beautiful as her own daughter, Ye Lishuang.

Yuan Hao was also disappointed, thinking of Wei Muhe's face again, he felt annoyed, it's a pity that such a beauty is accompanied by the Buddha statue every day.

"Princess Duanyi is here." Before everyone could take a closer look at Xiao Rongyue, they heard the news from the eunuch outside.

Yuan Hao smiled, his sister Wang was really informal, he was meeting courtiers and envoys from the Liao and Song Dynasties, yet Miss Wang rushed straight to meet him, without the slightest bit of etiquette that a woman should have.

"Call her in." Yuan Hao said.

Wei Muyin didn't wait for the eunuch to summon her, she walked in, saw a crowd of people waiting in the hall, she bowed and saluted, then walked in front of Xiao Rongyue, and looked at her straight.

"What's the matter, Sister Wang?" Yuan Hao asked kindly with a doting face all over his face.

"I heard that the Liao Kingdom sent a beautiful woman, so hurry up to see this foreign princess." Wei Muyin walked around Xiao Rongyue, and saw her delicate features, but she was not at all the most beautiful woman in the world. .

Xiao Rongyue also sized Wei Muyin up and down, and felt a little bit in her heart. This eldest princess's appearance is truly outstanding in the world, and she dared to show her face for the first time, so she must have a bold temperament. will reward her.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and glanced at Xiao Conshun.

"The eldest princess of Xixia is beautiful and beautiful. I am really a lucky person who has been cultivated for several generations. I can see the face of the eldest princess." Xiao Conshun said respectfully.

Wei Muyin smiled, turned her head and glanced at Xiao Conshun, she had seen the two Liao people winking in secret just now, she must have evil intentions, and she didn't like Xiao Rongyue at all.

"Sister Wang doesn't understand etiquette, you're making fun of me." Yuan Hao waved to Wei Muyin and asked her to stand beside him, showing how much he loves the eldest princess.

"I don't know if the eldest princess can get married?" Xiao Conshun asked bluntly, relying on himself as an envoy of Daliao.

Wei Muyin frowned, wondering if he was going to propose marriage for their emperor?

"There is already a marriage contract." Yuan Hao said solemnly.

After Yuan Hao said this, all the courtiers present were stunned. They had never heard that Princess Duanyi had already made a marriage contract, so who is this son-in-law?

"It's a pity, I would like to ask, which golden-scale talent has such a blessing?" Seeing the reactions of others, Xiao Conshun didn't believe what Yuan Hao said, so he broke the casserole and asked the end.

"Mr. Wei Mu Yuanyue, Deputy Commander of the Military Supervisory Division of Liangzhou now." Yuan Hao said without hesitation in front of everyone.

A group of people all looked at Wei Mu Shanxi together. At this moment, Wei Mu Shanxi couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, and he half opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Wei Muyin was also almost stunned, she never expected Yuan Hao to marry her on such an occasion, and he didn't break his promise, the choice of son-in-law was Yuan Yue.

"He is also a martial arts general. It seems that the prince likes the talent of this general just like my Emperor Zongzhen." After Xiao Conshun said, he glanced at Zhu Yunzhong again.

At this moment, Zhu Yunzhong didn't care how Xiao Conshun tried to squeeze him. He heard that Liangzhou Supervisory Commander was already beating his heart. This is the Hexi Corridor on the border of Song and Xia. Could it be that Yuan Hao had the ambition to occupy Liangzhou?

"When everything is settled in my palace, I will formally confer marriage to the two of you." Yuan Hao seemed to be speaking directly to Wei Muyin.

Yuan Yue, who was far away in the Liangzhou military camp, of course didn't know what happened in the Xingqing Palace, she just received the report today.

During the report, the news of Prince Deming's passing away was like a bolt from the blue, directly crushing Yuan Yue.

"My lord, don't be sad. Old age, sickness and death are the only things in the world." Wei Linyi said comfortingly, seeing Yuan Yue lying on the table in a state of collapse.

"The report only said that the prince suffered a sudden stroke and died. The prince has always been in good health, how could it be so sudden?" Yuan Yue asked, covering her head and talking to herself.

Wei Linyi had a very indifferent view of life and death, and was speechless for a moment when asked by Yuan Yue.

"Maybe the master will send another scout to report to the young master." Seeing that she was depressed, Wei Linyi could only reply in this way.

"Could it be Yuniang?" Yuan Yue suddenly stood up from the chair and shouted.
