The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The new ruler of the South was obese, but his voice was loud and rough. When he said this, the music was drowned out. All the officials in the palace were shocked and speechless. After a few breaths, an old prince with white hair from the royal family jumped up and cursed: "How dare you! Ignorant barbarian! How dare you speak so arrogantly and confuse right and wrong!"

This old prince is the emperor's uncle. His way of survival is to treat himself as a pig that is fed. He does not cause trouble, does not form cliques, and does not abuse power. The most thing he does every day is to lie at home and listen to books and watch plays. The prince's wife has passed away, but he has taken in many concubines and has many children.

When Xie Yuzhen saw him jump out first, he used a lot of effort to suppress the smile on his face - this old prince usually looked dull and obedient, but it turned out that he could jump around like a frog whose butt was poked.

With the old prince starting this, voices rebuking the New South King for his presumptuousness rose and fell in the hall for a while. The New South King was scolded so hard that he was sweating profusely. He didn't know who was the nobleman who came to give orders to him when he was in prison before, and he didn't know who was the real chess master behind the scenes in the hall who was happy to see this situation.

But he - or rather, her status must be not low, otherwise the officials who guard his family and teach them Chinese would not be so respectful to an envoy who came to give orders.

The words were spoken.

The new ruler of the South gritted his teeth and decided to follow the path that had been planned. He was afraid of death and wanted to stay alive: "Emperor Dasheng, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

The New South King trembled and knelt down again: "I... I didn't know that men can also sit at the table here. When men in our place have important matters at home, they can only stay in their own rooms and are not allowed to come near women and disturb them from doing their work... Yes... I am ignorant and narrow-minded, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

The New South King's accent was a bit heavy, but he said everything he needed to say very clearly, and it was heard by everyone. The expressions of the people at the table were different. Some had sullen faces, as if they wanted to jump over and strangle the New South King to death, while others had amusement on their faces, as if they had discovered some new creature. Of course, more people were trying hard to control their expressions, and began to speculate whether this was just an accident, or if someone was secretly manipulating it.

"Hehe." Xie Yuzhen covered his lips with a fan, and his clear laughter made the ministers who were whispering incessantly fall into silence.

She gently shook the handle of the fan, and the butterfly tassels hanging under the handle swayed slowly. Xie Yuzhen leaned towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this man's words are very interesting. Why not ask him about the customs and conditions of the New South Kingdom? This will also help you to understand the local situation and have an idea of ​​who to send to govern in the future."

The emperor looked at her helplessly—he knew she was going to cause trouble again, but...

He turned his head and glanced at the faces of the ministers below, especially those old-fashioned "gentlemen" who the emperor deliberately stayed in the court just to see them get upset because of his extraordinary behavior. At this moment, their expressions were like a canvas with an overturned palette. It was so funny. She was worthy of being his beloved. Even when she was making trouble, she was so unique and did not forget to make fun of her husband.

As for how many ministers will be angry about this incident today - anyway, the words were said by the barbarians who are not fluent in Chinese, so what does it have to do with me, the emperor?

The emperor easily figured out why the new ruler of the South did this, and then he habitually decided to let go and let Xie Yuzhen have fun.

But I have to say a few words of high-sounding words: "What the Queen said is very true. Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are bitter oranges. When the laws of our Great Sheng are implemented in the various barbarian countries, they will be slightly modified according to the different customs of the tribes in various places. Since Xinnan is already a part of our Great Sheng territory, in order to promote education and avoid reversals, although you are officials in the palace, you should not ignore the affairs of the countryside. However, I am indeed very curious. How come the ruler of Xinnan calls herself the queen but looks like a man?"

The ministers in the hall listened to the emperor's admonition and responded respectfully in unison, but were mostly choked by the emperor's unexpected turn of events.

As the commander of this battle, Marquis Anguo had made great contributions, but he only used this merit to exchange for the title of Crown Prince for his daughter, and refused all other things. At this moment, whether in the eyes of the emperor or others, Marquis Anguo was the one who was very close to the emperor, and he was not afraid to show his allies and political enemies that he was in the emperor's heart: "Your Majesty, when I first saw the New South Kingdom's team of 100,000 female soldiers, I was also shocked - they were all grown men like me, and they actually called themselves women. It was really strange."

"So that's how it is. It seems that my General Yunhui did not arrest the wrong person." The emperor said with a smile.

Jun Yuexin stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, although the New South Kingdom is a barbarian nation, it is loyal to our Great Central Plains Dynasty. The layout of the New South Kingdom's palace is no different from that of the Central Plains in many places. However, it is a small country after all, and it is arrogant and thinks that its hundreds of thousands of people can swallow up the great country. When I led my troops to break into the palace, this guy was still drunk on the throne."

Although the New South Kingdom is a country, it is actually not even as big as a province in Dasheng.

In this battle, excluding the time spent on mobilizing troops and military supplies, the actual time spent on the war was only about one or two months. It was only because of the unique terrain and environment of the dense forests in the southwest that the New South Kingdom could hold out for so long.

"In the southwest, the customs are different every ten miles. This time, I have learned a lot. In the palace of the New South Kingdom, this man has many concubines. I have seen that their clothes and appearance are very different from person to person. Some even pierce their lips and noses for beauty. The more holes they have in their lips and noses, the more beautiful they are. Many people died from inflammation and ulceration of their wounds, but it could not stop them from pursuing beauty."

As soon as Jun Yuexin stood up, the King of Xinnan couldn't help but think of the scene when this evil god broke into his palace covered in blood, raised his hand and chopped off the head of his son, the Crown Prince of Xinnan, with blood flying into the sky.

He trembled and continued, "...That...that's the Black-Faced Clan. I don't like them either. They praised that man as a peerless beauty, but when I brought him into the palace, I realized his face was completely rotten..."

"Man?" Someone moved his butt uneasily and looked at the new Lord of the South with horror.

Jun Yuexin couldn't help but laugh: ".....that person's face is full of scars, it's hard to tell whether he is a man or a woman, but his body... looks quite like a woman's. However, the new Lord of the South claims to have hundreds of handsome men as concubines in the inner court of the palace, so this... is indeed hard to say."
