The Three Spirit Stones

Cheng Yu looked at these ministers who were eager to sell him out and wanted to curse in his heart.

What does it mean to be a perfect match made in heaven?

I bother!

Does she want to marry me just because she wants to?

He wanted to refuse outright, but Yelu Yuan was really great.

Her words were well-planned and flawless! First of all, she emphasized that Liao and Song were brothers and peace was the first priority. She knew very well that Song Zhenzong was most afraid of going to war with the Liao people, so not maintaining the friendship between the two countries would be against the emperor.

Secondly, she had stated in advance that she was willing to share a husband with other women, which made it difficult for Cheng Yu to refuse on the grounds that he did not want to divorce his wife without reason, because it was common for noble men in ancient times to have several or even dozens of wives and concubines.

Third, in ancient times, women were accessories to men, and there were few cases where a man would not dare to marry another woman out of consideration for his wife’s feelings, not to mention that marrying this woman would bring so many benefits.

So Cheng Yu really couldn't come up with a reason to refuse.

If he said that he would only love Acai in his life, everyone would think that he was deliberately going against the emperor.

Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Heng, who seemed to want to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, and thought to himself, "Oh no!" His mind was working rapidly, and suddenly he had an idea.

Hey! Got it.

You have to use magic to defeat magic!

"Officials,"

He said to Zhao Heng,

"Lord Zhongyong, are you satisfied with this marriage?"

Zhao Heng asked,

"Your Excellency, I am very satisfied,"

Zhao Heng nodded slightly. That’s right. Which man would refuse such a beauty?

He was about to grant the marriage, but Cheng Yu quickly said, "Your Majesty, I do have no objection, but I would like to inform the ladies before making a decision. After all, they are the masters of the household, and they must be informed of this matter."

When everyone heard this, they thought, the emperor has issued an edict to grant the marriage, and the women in the harem just need to obey the order, so why would they need to inform in advance?

But Zhao Heng was so frightened that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes! I almost forgot about this. He is the son-in-law of the immortal family, and there is also a little ancestor in the family!

If she knew that I had arranged a marriage for her man without her knowledge, she would feel resentful and complain to her ancestors...

Oh my god! If I offend the Liao people, at most I will send people to fight, but if I offend the gods...?

He didn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be, and immediately said, "Yes, yes, you are right, your wife and the others should be having a banquet in the harem tonight, right?"

"Yes,"

"Zhou Huaizheng, go to the harem and invite the two ladies here immediately,"

Your Highness and the others looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why the Emperor would treat the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery with such courtesy?

Cheng Yu smiled secretly, as long as Caibao comes, this marriage will not be possible!

……

Acai, a student in the harem, is working hard for her goal of 100 million yuan.

She was summoned by Liu E to chat. Seeing the famous queen in history, she was so excited that she almost forgot everything.

"My lady, what skin care products do you use? How come your skin is so smooth and tender, just like a baby's skin?"

"What? It didn't work? This is really surprising. Your Majesty is naturally beautiful and it's hard to give up!"

"I heard that Your Majesty has a beautiful handwriting. I wonder if Your Majesty could write a poem for me?"

"Wow! Your handwriting is so beautiful, it's like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, flowing like clouds and running water."

In fact, Liu E wrote neat regular script. She knew Ah Cai was just flattering her, and she just thought this woman was very interesting. The other ladies were all nervous and restrained when they saw her, but she was different. She was not afraid or nervous at all. She was very excited when she was called forward, and only restrained herself a little after being reminded by the people around her.

Liu E exchanged a few pleasantries with her, and she began to flatter him as if she was familiar with him. Her flattery was completely unskillful and simple and childish, but her expression was rich and she used idioms at random, which made people laugh.

In order to repay her for making her laugh so happily, Liu E agreed to write a poem for her, and wrote her name and date as required, and stamped it with her own private seal.

Just as Ah Cai was giggling happily while holding the poem written by Liu E, Zhou Huaizheng arrived with Zhao Heng's oral edict.

Sun Yuechan and Acai followed Zhou Huaizheng into the Daqing Hall. She was really worried tonight!

Ever since the Queen summoned Ah Cai to come forward, her heart has been pounding.

She didn't understand why her courage was so fat?

She spoke to the Queen as if she were an acquaintance, without any respect or fear. Fortunately, the Queen did not mind it, and Concubine Cao was there to mediate, otherwise she would be charged with contempt for the Queen in a matter of minutes!

Now I have to go see the emperor again!

Yuechan's heart beat faster. She just hoped that Cheng Yu could take good care of Acai and let her spend the night in peace. Amitabha!

The two men walked into the hall, knelt down on the throne and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Zhao Shouyi was very happy to see Aunt Cai, but due to etiquette he could only smile at her. Aunt Cai also saw him and secretly made a face at him.

Zhao Heng didn't want Ah Cai to kneel before him, but doing so in public would arouse suspicion, so he quickly asked them to stand up and give them a seat.

The eunuch moved two stools to the sides of Cheng Yu, and the two of them sat on each side.

After seeing Ah Cai, Cheng Yu's unhappiness immediately disappeared, and his eyes became gentle. He looked at her and squeezed her hand under the table.

Ah Cai was so happy to receive the poem written by Liu E that she was about to tell her husband secretly when Zhao Heng, who was at the top of the poem, spoke up.

"Madams of Huaning County, I summoned you here because I want to discuss something with you,"

The emperor actually used the word "discuss"? The ministers were a little confused.

Yuechan was the one who reacted quickly and said, "Your Majesty, your words are too polite. What are your instructions? I dare not disobey you."

"it is good,"

Zhao Heng glanced at Ah Cai who was blinking her big eyes at him and continued, "It's like this, the Princess Yelu of Liao fell in love with the Marquis Zhongyong at first sight and hoped to marry him."

"After the princess marries the loyal and brave marquis, a princess mansion will be built near the marquis' mansion. When she comes to the Song Dynasty, the loyal and brave marquis can go to the princess mansion. Your status and life will remain the same. It will not affect you in any way."

When Sun Yuechan heard this, she was stunned!

When the emperor summoned them, she felt that something important must be going on, but she never expected it to be this.

In fact, it doesn't matter to her who Cheng Yu wants to marry. He told her a long time ago that he would not like anyone except A Cai. At first she thought he was just trying to shirk responsibility, but later she found out that he was serious. After knowing each other for so long, he never touched other women, let alone even looked at them.

Sun Yuechan had secretly developed feelings for Cheng Yu, but this man had a secret plan and was as hard as stone. He turned a blind eye to her feelings, and she felt helpless!

She was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She stood up, raised her hands to her forehead and bowed her head, saying, "Everything is decided by your majesty and the marquis, and I dare not disobey."

The ministers in the hall nodded to each other. Wasn't this expected?

The marriage between Liao and Song was a major event for the imperial court. The emperor only needed to issue an edict. What could a mere woman know?

"Sir, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

At this time, a soft voice sounded, and everyone looked over. It turned out to be Lady Hua Ning Zuojun. She looked at Zhao Heng with a blank face.

Yuechan sighed inwardly. She was very worried now. With Ah Cai's temper, she wondered how she would react after she figured out the matter.

Looking at her clear eyes, Zhao Heng suddenly felt a little guilty. He forced a smile and said, "Don't you understand? This... Princess Yelu of Liao,"

He pointed at Yelu Yuan, who stood up in response.

"She likes the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and wants to marry him. Of course, you are still the wives of the Cheng family as before, and this will not change. Princess Yelu means that during her time in the Song Dynasty, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery can go to the Princess's Mansion."

After hearing this, Ah Cai tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "What the official means is that this so-and-so princess..."

She pointed at Yelu Yuan.

"It's Princess Yelu,"

"Oh, Princess Yelu, she has taken a fancy to my husband and wants to marry him. In the future, we will be three women serving one man?"

"Official, am I understanding this correctly?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant. I asked you to come here to ask for your opinions. Lady Youjun has no opinion just now, so now I want to listen to yours."

Ah Cai suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha... Your Excellency! When did you actually like being a matchmaker? How can they have the nerve to say anything when you ask for their opinions?"

Zhao Heng looked at Ah Cai, who was half acting coquettishly and half acting cute, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He thought, this fairy girl is so lively and cute, which is quite interesting!

He waved his hand and said, "Don't be embarrassed, but it's okay to say it."

"Well, in that case, I'll tell you the truth."

"Ok!"

She took a deep breath, then roared with all her might.

"I...don't...agree...with..."

"I disagree, I disagree, I disagree~"

"Important things should be said three times~"

She has a loud voice to begin with, and during this period of teaching, she has been shouting at more than a hundred children every day, so her voice has become much louder. Now, when she shouts with all her might, the sound echoes in the Daqing Hall, making everyone's ears buzz!

When everyone was stunned by the yelling, she turned around and pointed at Yelu Yuan and yelled,

"Have all the men in your Liao Kingdom died? You came to my Song Dynasty to rob men. If you want to rob men, you have to rob a married man. What do you mean by three women sharing one man? No! Shame on you. Who would share a husband with you? This is my husband. He can only be my husband. Don't even think about marrying you. Even if he has concubines, it's not allowed. Even if he looks at other women more than once, it's not allowed! Marry you? Unless I die. No, even if I die, it won't be your turn!"

After a round of bombardment, she sat back on the stool with a huff and blurted out two more words:

"Drink water,"

Cheng Yu beside her quickly poured her a cup of tea, and she took it and gulped it down.

There was silence in the Daqing Hall, and everyone looked at her in amazement!

Too arrogant, really too arrogant!

Especially Yelu Yuan, whose face was turning pale with anger. She was the most favored princess of Liao, and she had always gotten whatever she wanted. How could she have been scolded by someone? And she was scolded so harshly!

She clenched her fists, her teeth chattered, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

Yelu Xunu, who was standing next to him, pointed at Acai and shouted,

"You bitch, what crime have you committed for yelling and insulting my Liao princess in the palace? Emperor of Song, please send someone to arrest this bitch and punish her."

Without waiting for Zhao Heng to speak, Ah Cai took the cup that had been used to drink the second cup of tea and threw it at Yelu Xunu. The cup smashed to the ground and she cursed,

"Fuck you, you're still punishing me? I haven't even sued you for forcing the Princess of Liao to become a prostitute yet."

Force good women into prostitution???

People are even more confused.

"My husband is a good man, but he was forced to submit to the tyranny of your Liao princess and agree to serve three women? He is so thin, do you want him to die of exhaustion? What is the difference between this and forcing a good woman into prostitution?"

What is the highest realm of serious nonsense? Cheng Acai interprets it to the fullest!
