So Zhou Pan'er generously did not continue to target Zhou Zimo and Xie Liuzheng. It would not be too late to deal with them after she had established a firm foothold in the Second Prince's Mansion.

?

The next day, with the announcement of the eunuch's imperial decree, Zhou Pan'er was granted marriage to the second prince and got married immediately.

?

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Paner was dumbfounded.

?

Didn't she expect His Majesty to let them get married right away? But she wasn't mentally prepared at all. She hadn't prepared her wedding dress, and her dowry wasn't prepared either. You have to know that the eldest prince's wife had a beautiful wedding dress that day, and the whole capital was envious.

?

Why was it that when it came time for Zhou Pan'er, the Second Prince's Concubine, to get married, everything was kept simple and in such a rush?

?

Thinking of this, Zhou Paner signaled Zhiqi to bribe the father-in-law, but the other party refused to budge and only said, "Miss Zhou, please accept the order quickly. I have to go back and report!"

?

Although Zhou Pan'er was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept the imperial edict obediently.

?

So the next day, there was no guard of honor, nor any pomp and ceremony at all, and Zhou Pan'er was taken away in a sedan chair from the Second Prince's mansion in a daze.

?

Of course, Zhou Paner brought the deed to her shop and a thick stack of silver bills as her dowry. Her mother's dowry was also carried to the Second Prince's Mansion early by Zhou Zheng.

?

So Zhou Pan'er married into the Second Prince's mansion in a shabby manner. She thought that after the wedding, if His Majesty could not come in person, he would definitely arrange for the Imperial Concubine to come and watch the ceremony.

?

After all, the second prince is the imperial concubine's biological son, but the strange thing is that the imperial concubine never showed up.

?

Zhou Pan'er was stunned by the rouge and powder in the room. "You, who are you? Don't you know that today is the second prince's wedding? How dare you trespass into the bedroom of this prince's wife?"

?

But all the beautiful girls in the room started to giggle.

?

"In reply to the Second Prince's wife, we servants are here to serve His Highness. We learned today that His Highness is getting married, so we came here to congratulate him! We also want you to recognize me, Second Prince's wife!"

?

A brave woman in purple said, covering her mouth.

?

"My name is Zi Tan, and I have been in the mansion for three years."

Soon, the other women introduced themselves one by one. "I am Hongzhu, the servant brought back by Your Highness from Binzhou. My father is the Minister of the Dali Temple!"

?

……

?

Zhou Pan'er was shocked to find that there were so many women in the Second Prince's mansion, and many of the women's family members were still serving as officials in the court.

?

She nearly fainted from anger.

?

You must know that the Second Prince had solemnly told her that he would not take any other woman as a concubine except her in his life.

?

But now there are so many women hiding in the Second Prince's mansion...

?

"Second Prince's Consort, someone come quickly! The Second Prince's Consort has fainted!"

?

The next second, Zhou Paner vomited a mouthful of blood, closed her eyes, and fainted.

?

He didn't wake up until the imperial physician pricked his philtrum with a needle.

?

"Where am I?"

?

"Pan'er, you are in my house! You are irritated by those women. Don't worry, they are just a means for me to win over people. You are the one I care about most!"

?

You know, Zhao Mugao made great sacrifices in order to marry her, but when he thought about being able to benefit from the power of Pingxi Hou in the future, he felt it was worth it.

?

Zhou Pan'er was quickly coaxed by Zhao Mugao. Besides, she was the mistress of the Second Prince's Mansion, so it was her freedom to deal with those women as she wished.

?

Of course, she would not clean out those concubines as soon as she entered the house. She would wait until she had gained a firm foothold before Zhou Paner would take the opportunity to act!

?

The second prince's marriage was severely ridiculed by the people.

?

Everyone also saw the direction of the wind from this incident. If His Majesty cared a little about the Second Prince, he would not allow the Second Prince to marry in such a shabby way.

?

For a time, the Second Prince's people were suppressed in the court.

?

At the same time, the Huns were defeated and asked for peace. The imperial court was discussing who to send to negotiate with the Huns. Although the two countries did not kill envoys, the Huns were brutal and ferocious. Who knew if they would kill the envoys?

?

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites took the initiative to fight.

?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Xiongnu to negotiate!"

?

Those cunning and treacherous people in the court were naturally happy when someone was willing to step forward. "Your Majesty, I agree!"

?

"Master Qi is a young hero, a role model for scholars of the time!"

?

So after discussing with Lord Feng, His Majesty decided to send the Minister of the Honglu Temple Qi Shan to negotiate. When Xie Liuzheng heard the news, he was a little surprised.

?

And Zhou Zimo just happened to appear in front of her.

?

He noticed her strangeness, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Xie, do you know this Honglu Temple Minister Qi?"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng nodded, "We have met a few times."

?

"I wonder why His Majesty agreed to let Lord Qi go to negotiate? Aren't there many experienced envoys in the court?"

?

Zhou Zimo is now the Marquis of Guanjun, so he is naturally qualified to enter the Golden Palace and participate in court affairs.

?

He leaned forward and whispered his guess to Xie Liuzheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised when she heard this. She was still very worried about Qi Shan being chosen to go to negotiate with the Huns.

?

So the next day she sent a letter to Qi Shan.

?

At noon, Xie Liuzheng took Chunyue out, but she didn't know someone was following them.

?

The man followed her directly to the No. 1 box in Caiyue Tower before turning around and leaving.

?

"What? Miss Xie made a private appointment with Qi Shan? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Zhou Zimo was a little shocked when he got the news.

?

At first, he thought that Xie Liuzheng and Qi Shan had only met a few times, but he didn't expect that their relationship was so good that Xie Liuzheng would take the risk to meet him regardless of the difference between men and women.

?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zimo felt very uncomfortable, "Send someone to watch and see what Xie Liuzheng said to Qi Shan."

?

In fact, Xie Liuzheng never said much to Qi Shan, but just reminded him of some precautions and gave him some necessary medicinal materials.

?

Although Xie Liuzheng had never been to the Xiongnu in her previous life, she had heard of the cold climate of the Xiongnu. Now that she was going to Qishan, although she was an envoy, the harsh weather conditions were unavoidable.

?

"Master Qi, have a safe journey! I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in the capital!"

?

After saying this, Xie Liuzheng turned around and left without any lingering feelings.

?

However, she did not notice Qi Shan's gaze and followed her closely. Even when Xie Liuzheng completely disappeared, Qi Shan did not take his gaze away!

?

As soon as Xie Liuzheng returned home, he ran into Zhou Zimo.

?

Seeing her stop, Zhou Zimo's expression lightened up a little, "Miss Xie just went out, what did you do?"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng was stunned. She couldn't help but look up at Zhou Zimo suspiciously, wondering if the other party knew that she had secretly met Qi Shan?

?

But on second thought, there was no need for Zhou Zimo to send anyone to follow him. After all, neither he nor Qi Shan were his enemies.

?

"I didn't go anywhere. My mother wanted to eat lotus cake. I had nothing to do, so I went to buy it myself. Would you like to try it, Lord?"

?

?

She was just being polite.
