The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

As the sparring partner who had accompanied Princess Yuyi for the longest time, Hu Ziyi was quite familiar with Lu Weiyuan's moves. She knew very well that she was no match for the little princess. However, Lu Weiyuan seemed to be staring at her closely and punched her without any hesitation - specifically at her face.

Hu Ziyi immediately dodged to the side, not wanting to confront Lu Weiyuan head-on. Instead, he twisted his body, reached out his long hand to the side, grabbed a man by the collar, and pushed him towards Lu Weiyuan.

The one she caught to be used as a human shield was the girl with the grass in her mouth. The girl reacted very quickly. Almost in the first second after being grabbed, she immediately concentrated her energy into her dantian and stabilized her lower body. However, she still underestimated how evil-minded Lu Weiyuan and Hu Ziyi were.

The fist that was originally aimed at Hu Ziyi's face just changed its angle slightly and hit the girl's cheek heavily.

All these actions happened in a flash.

The girl dodged quickly after being punched, and spat out the broken grass leaves in her mouth and the blood oozing from her gums with a "Puh" sound.

At this moment, the other women in the yard had already rushed forward. They did not care about any one-on-one "martial ethics". Lu Weiyuan kicked Hu Ziyi away with a black foot and faced the siege of the women alone.

After rubbing her face twice, the girl rudely slapped away the sister who was blocking her. With a ferocious smile on her face, she rushed to Lu Weiyuan with fists and kicks in a chaotic but orderly manner: "Your Highness, I am Fu Xiaoyao, please - Your Highness - give - me - a chance!!!"

She roared and rushed forward.

Lu Weiyuan, who was able to handle the siege with ease, had his eyes lit up. He raised his hand to block Fu Xiaoyao's fist and stopped her movement: "Come on, come on, I have plenty of opportunities here, it all depends on whether you have the ability!"

She smiled arrogantly, with a look of joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but the fangs revealed at the corners of her grinning mouth showed a bit of beast-like ferocity, which was completely different from the "innocent", "naughty" and "sweet" Princess Yuyi who was best known to outsiders.

Lu Weiyuan likes fighting, punching flesh, breaking tendons and bones, letting blood and tears fly on the sharp blades of weapons.

A strong fighting spirit broke out instantly, and the courtyard soon turned into a big melee. Hua Changchun relied on his familiarity with the terrain and quickly sneaked out of the battle range with footprints and palm prints that were obviously from different people, and climbed onto the top of the wall.

She climbed up and looked outside, only to find that there were more than a dozen familiar faces standing outside her yard.

"Boss, you've been beaten pretty hard, haha." Wang Can waved happily at Hua Changchun on the wall.

The women behind her were of different ages, some in shorts, some in silk dresses, looking very quiet and dignified. There was also Hua Changchun's colleague in the Jinwu Guard - she was still wearing leather armor, and it seemed that she was on a day off today. When she heard the noise, she rushed over to watch the fun without even changing her clothes.

Of course, there was also a female official passing by, wearing a green official uniform, with her hands behind her back: "Don't worry, Sister Hua, we have fenced off your house, outsiders can't get in, you can go back without worry."

"Go back?!" Hua Changchun looked angrily at the group of sisters who had already started eating sunflower seeds and watching the fun, "Go back to get beaten, you little bastards who talk without any pain in your back!!!"

"Your Majesty, Yuanjun brought us a gift from outside the palace. Do you think you like it?" Xie Yuzhen pulled up the emperor who had been paralyzed in Shouning Palace all day, and thrust the small wooden statue sent from outside the palace in front of him.

The emperor yawned, took it lazily and looked at it: "Wow, this is the craftsmanship of Luzhou."

"I have asked someone to check whether this wooden statue is circulating in the capital." Xie Yuzhen pushed the emperor aside and sat on the low couch. "But there is something I have to inform your majesty about first. Alas..."

"Why are you sighing so much? What's the problem?"

"It's not a difficult matter, but your Majesty, your third son-in-law may have some conflicts with Tan Nu."

Seeing Xie Yuzhen pretending to be helpless, the emperor smiled and said, "How big of a conflict can young people have? They can just solve their own problems by themselves. It's really unfilial to disturb the elders."

Xie Yuzhen glanced at the emperor and said, "This wooden statue was obtained by Yuanjun from the elder brother of your third son-in-law's concubine."

"Oh?" The emperor's expression changed slightly, but he still looked indifferent. "Oh, the second son of the Kangnan Marquis's Mansion was originally a well-behaved person, so he was assigned to Fengning... Why did he have other thoughts?"

"Maybe he's in a hurry to have a child, or maybe it's just the bad nature of men." Xie Yuzhen poked the emperor.

The emperor immediately responded, "To continue the family line is desire, and to like beauty is also desire. If you can't control your desire, how are you different from an animal?"

He shook his head and sighed, "Although I am not a good father, how can I bear to marry my own daughter to a beast?"

Lu Yesheng didn't want to recall how other emperors treated their sons-in-law, nor did he want to follow their example. In his dynasty, no matter if it was a man or a woman, as long as they became the consort of his family, they could only be loyal and dedicated to do their duties as the consort of his family, taking care of the princess' daily life and making her happy.

As for the concubines, side wives, and illegitimate sons that might be recognized in other dynasties... don't even think about it, there's no way!

"Besides, this beast is really bold. He actually dared to get involved in the evil cult. I'm afraid he will cause trouble in the future." The emperor leaned back lazily. The next moment, he straightened up suddenly. "How did the brother of this beast's concubine get in front of Yuan Jun?!"

Xie Yuzhen now dared to roll his eyes at the emperor without any scruples: "Your Majesty, if you continue to lie like a pig, not only will your brain become rusty, but your skin will also become..."

Showing a look of disgust.

The emperor sighed and said, "I feel tired in spring, exhausted in summer and gain weight in autumn. I am only lazy when there is little to do at court."

He sat up straight, stepped on the clogs in front of the couch, turned around, bent over, and picked up Xie Yuzhen: "Since we want to train the child, let's ignore these trivial matters for now, let's go horseback riding. Oh, right, take that ignorant boy to the prison and castrate him first."

Sitting firmly on the emperor's arm, Xie Yuzhen continued to roll his eyes: "It has been dealt with long ago. I asked someone to invite Feng Ning to the palace. She likes reading and likes quietness. It is better to let her stay in the palace for a few more days, and let her go home after things are dealt with."

"You are their mother, you are the boss."
