Concubine Yu's biography

The grand ceremony in the palace was held as scheduled, except for some small border countries and overseas envoys, there were many familiar people.

Yu Bichu sat on the throne, calmly accepting the baptism of eyes from all sides.He had to admit that the position of the emperor did have a sense of superiority that people were attached to.

It was the first time that Jiang Peihan officially appeared in court in full dress. Many people had seen her many years ago, when she was still bringing a pair of lovely children.However, from this moment to that moment, all the memories in my mind are not as amazing as the sight in front of me.

Yu Bichu watched her sit down next to her, he didn't have a clear pampering attitude, but he treated her well.Jiang Peihan's attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, which fully demonstrates the way the two get along with each other with respect.

Li Luan from below stared at the two of them for a long time, and then gently pulled out a mocking smile.

Li Que on the side started to be absent-minded, Jiang Peihan was shocked when she came out, and muttered to herself: "There is such a beautiful woman in the world..."

...was shot by his sister.

No matter how beautiful it is, what's the use of having a bad man, and the blessings of several lifetimes will be in vain.

Women always care about their appearance, Li Luan has heard many compliments, she used to pretend not to care, but after meeting Jiang Peihan, it is really hard to be self-satisfied.As for Yu Bichu, who has such a considerate beauty and still doesn't treat him well, Li Luan's impression of him can't be worse.

As for why Jiang Peihan had to go into this prison, she was puzzled.

The new leader of the Tartar tribe is the nephew of the previous Tartar king whose head was cut off. Speaking of which, the Tartar tribe has also experienced vicissitudes in recent years.Each family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and which country does not always worry about internal and external troubles?

The new Tartar king was about the same age as Li Que, but the wind and sand in the north caused deep marks on his face. With slightly curly hair and Raza's short beard, he looked like a middle-aged man in his 30s.

"emperor."

Almost halfway through the banquet, the unknown Sarah suddenly stood up and knelt down in the center of the hall.The maids who were dancing and playing music were startled, and quickly bent over and stepped aside.

Yu Bichu put down his wine glass, thinking he still came.

The rest of the foreign tribes whispered to each other and speculated about the situation. Although the Northwest belonged to Shangyu, it always maintained autonomy, and there was no close adulation with the imperial court, let alone the etiquette of kneeling down.When Sara knelt down, she dropped countless things along with it.

And Sara's followers turned their faces away at the same time, not knowing whether it was shame or could not bear to look directly.

"Get up." Yu Bi sighed, not knowing where to start, "I know that the matter in the northwest will be resolved as soon as possible."

He said this a few months ago, and Gerry looked up at Sarah with complicated and helpless eyes. He also wanted to help, but he didn't know whether he was overwhelmed or something, and he actually had a kind of extreme fear of the emperor in his heart.It may be that after knowing that Da Qiao was dismissed from office, the inviolable sense of hierarchy and distance suddenly intensified, and then he became cowardly.

"It's more than that." Sara said: "The northwest belongs to Shangyu, but in the past few years, it has been arrogant and domineering due to the increase in number, so most Shangyu towns are forbidden to open to foreigners, plus some...accidents..." He He gritted his teeth and spit out these two words. Although he didn't know the real situation, the Mengqi people were indeed being plotted against.

"I implore Your Majesty, Your Majesty, to break through the barriers between different races, so that all the people can live in peace. The Qianyi clan is also willing to hand over their autonomy and wait for the imperial court's orders from now on."

The tall and burly Sarah knelt in the temple with her head bowed.He has been the patriarch of the Qianyi clan for nearly 20 years, and he has never been ashamed and frustrated as he is today.But when he walked out of the palace and out of Yudu, he still had to face the irony and abuse from countless clansmen.

But he has no choice.

Yu Bichu's silence was accompanied by countless whispers from the audience. He couldn't promise this easily, but he needed to give Sarah a step down.

After all, Gerry still couldn't stand it anymore, and a man who was also tall and thick stood up, and the whispers under him became lighter, and then all kinds of eyes intertwined.

"Your Majesty," his voice was not as rough as his appearance, but just resounding. "The problem in the Northwest is indeed a problem of the ancestors, and it is difficult to eradicate it overnight. I petition to resign and return to my hometown, and do my best for the integration of Shangyu in the Northwest."

"Okay!" Yu Bi waved his hand, and continued to speak without knowing how to end it, "The unification of Shang Yu is also the wish of the ancestors of the past generations, but everything cannot be achieved overnight. I will give you an answer after I think about it."

At this time Li Que suddenly turned his head and called Li Luan: "Xiao Luan..."

"Shut up!" Li Luan blocked his unfinished words without looking sideways.

The banquet on the eve of New Year's Eve ended just like that, with no surprises or accidents.

...Because all the things that should be said were finished on the day or the next day when the envoys arrived, and the rest of the people who stayed in Yudu were waiting for Yu Bi's reply.

……

"An Xuan just went out, I saw it." Yu Bi looked helplessly at Ji Yuan who was holding back his nerves.

"He might be back anytime soon, Mr. Zhuge and the others are also in the front yard."

"So what if I'm seen? Go into the house." Yu Bi pushed him into the house.

After closing the door, Ji Yuan felt a little relieved, after all, no one would push his door casually.

He asked, "What did Li Luan say?"

"She wants to ask me for something." Yu Bi said.

This answer was a bit unexpected, Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Why did you come here specially for something important?"

"Li Qi's dowry was a piece of jade engraved with the word 'Li'."

Li Qi was Shang Yu's first empress and also the only empress of Emperor Zu.Ji Yuan specially checked the past events at that time, except for the ban on the Huaihu line that was inexplicably added by the Li people, there was nothing special about it.

The main reason is the inexplicable ban on the Huaihu line.

"It is said that that piece of jade is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Li people. It can be used for divination and can be used to bring the dead back to life." Yu Bichu said, and suddenly changed the subject, "Yesterday, Jiang Yi went to the palace again for a long time."

"Ah?" Ji Yuan didn't turn the corner for a moment.

Yu Bi explained to him, "Jiang Jie's body has never been buried, and it is probably in the current Pingnan Palace."

"You said Jiang Yi wants to revive Jiang Jie?" This is a bit ridiculous... Ji Yuan couldn't help thinking, and Jiang Yi didn't look like someone who believed in such things.

"Who knows." He shrugged.

"Then did you find her?"

"I sent someone to look for it in the Zangzhen Building. There are quite a lot of things on the top floor, and the jade is so small. It takes a lot of effort to find it."

That's not a big deal either.Ji Yuan was still skeptical, Li Luan came here to ask for a piece of jade without hesitation, what was he after?

"I still don't understand the ban on the Huaihu line. What special meaning does Li Qi have to the Li people? Does it need to be so blatant and shameless?"

"Anyway, they've already covered themselves, and they're still worried about the current problems." Without warning, he touched Ji Yuan's face with his fingers, and wanted to laugh seeing his expression of "what are you doing?" The topic made him laugh again.

"I want to agree to the opening of the port," he said gravely.

Ji Yuan's reaction wasn't particularly surprising, but he just thought about it seriously, "I've been thinking about this problem for the past two days... If Xianqi and Peng Lie Dao are determined, they will definitely try every means, instead of being forced to , it is better to take the initiative, but..." He was a little worried, "Are you sure about the people below?"

"There are a lot of people who have benefited from the imperial court," Yu Bichu said flatly, "I talked to Xu Lin a few days ago..." He smiled softly, "It really is the serious old fox who hides the deepest. I counted the number of people, counting the big and small, plus the neutral swing, there must be more than half of them."

"That's all right, what are you still worried about?"

Yu Bichu looked at him silently, "If the imperial court is completely cleared up in the next year, the port will not be discussed."

"..." Ji Yuan patted him on the shoulder indifferently, "It's okay, you can come over often, I won't chase you away."

Yu Bichu twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a comforting smile, and continued to talk about the business and changed the subject, "I plan to relax the land lease. If they want to come in, at least they have to beat Wen You first."

Mentioning Gu Wenyou and Ji Yuan reminded him of the matter of "going to sea" that he and Yu Bi had somehow mentioned.He nodded in embarrassment, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Yu Bi couldn't figure it out, so he said, "What?"

"I'm hungry." He pursed his mouth, and he didn't have anything to eat on New Year's Eve, how sad it was.

"..." Yu Bichu stood up, almost powerless, "I thought you couldn't go out after eating...Is there anything in the kitchen?"

"Ah..." Ji Yuan pulled Yu Bi out who was going out, although he really didn't eat dinner, he was not hungry at all. "Why are you going?"

"Get something to eat." With that said, he had already left the door.Ji Yuan quickly followed, looked left and right to see that no one was there, and then stepped into the kitchen.

Yu Bi searched around but couldn't find the rice jar, but saw a small half bag of flour, and a small half plate of mustard on the stove covered by a bamboo basket.

"Today's noodles haven't been made yet." Ji Yuan rubbed his nose, "I just finished eating the rice the day before yesterday, oh, there's still a bowl of leftovers here." He turned on another stove and said happily, "How about You make me some fried rice."

"The leftovers from three days ago?" Yu Bi raised his eyebrows, feeling his temples twitching.

"No! I packed it back from the restaurant last night." It was originally for Lulu, but after taking a bite and being disgusted by the cat, I left it.Of course he didn't dare to say that.

Yu Bi gave him a discouraged look, and started to light the fire. Ji Yuan was watching with a smile on his face, interjecting occasionally to add to the confusion.

On New Year's Eve, Xiao Wu went back to Yu Renshu's for a reunion dinner, and stopped by Jiang Yi's for a cup of tea. After she was done, she strolled around and went to the post house.

She thought a lot about what Li Luan said to her, some of them figured out, some of them became more and more contradictory, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong.She is so used to being strong, she rarely asks people, her personality is awkward like a man's, her self-esteem is extremely high, and she will not take the initiative to show weakness.

Coincidentally, at the gate of the post house, she ran into the new Tatar king who was going back.The new Tartar king didn't know her, and neither did the Tartar people.Who would have thought that this was a surviving child of Cangbei Jiucheng who was massacred by them at the beginning?

It's just that Xiao Wu froze for a moment. Although these people in front of her didn't kill her parents, she still couldn't help but feel grudges towards the Tartars.

The Tatar king, who was hated for no reason, turned his head. Just as the attendant was about to speak, Li Luan drew her attention.

"Find me?"

Xiao Wu shook his head helplessly, "I... I was looking for Ji Yuan, and I happened to pass by here."

"Exactly, I'm looking for him too."

Then the two became together inexplicably.

Xiao Wu led the way, bypassed the sparsely populated alleys and went directly to the back door of Ji Mansion. After entering the door, he said something to Li Luan and ran to knock on the door of Ji Yuan's house.

"He may have gone out..." She walked back, Li Luan turned around nonchalantly, "Then come back tomorrow."
