The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

"This medicine is called Yannian Pill, and it has the magical effect of prolonging life. My grandfather relied on it to live to the age of 108," Hu Yanping said.

"Oh?" After hearing this, the emperor's expression was calm, and there was even a vague suspicion in his eyes, "But as far as I know, your father died at the age of sixty-seven."

"That's precisely because he didn't believe in the Yannian Pills and never took them." Hu Yanping said, "My uncles Guang Yagong and Nanshangong took the Yannian Pills like my grandfather, and they are still alive today. Extremely tough, Guang Yagong is already one hundred and nine years old this year, and Nanshang Gong is also ninety-eight years old."

One hundred and nine years old? Longer than Hu Yanping’s grandfather? The emperor was doubtful: "Seriously?"

"How can I lie about this kind of thing?" Hu Yanping said with a smile, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, send someone to Wujie to inquire and find out, or you can just write a letter and ask my brother directly."

It can be said that everyone's wish is to prolong life and live forever, and emperors in the past dynasties especially pursued this. Who doesn't want to stay on the throne forever and the country will not fall? The emperor involuntarily stretched out his hand, picked up a life-extending pill, and looked at the light carefully: "Is this thing really so magical?"

"Your Majesty, won't you know if you try it?" Hu Yanping said with a smile on her face, "I guarantee that you will be light and healthy after taking it, all diseases will disappear, and there will be no problem in living to be a hundred years old."

The emperor also remembered that his grandfather died at the age of sixty and his father died at the age of sixty-five. There was no one in their family who lived past the age of seventy. If he could live to be a hundred years old, wouldn't he have at least thirty more years of life? This is so heartwarming.

However, he knew Hu Yanping's character. She didn't even care about being Daxi's imperial concubine, so how could she kindly give him medicine for no reason. The emperor put the Yannian Pill back into the box and asked Hu Yanping, "Are you planning to dedicate this magical medicine to me?"

Hu Yanping smiled brightly at him: "As long as the emperor fulfills my small request, let alone Yannian Pills, I can even hand over the formula of Yannian Pills."

Sure enough, there were conditions, but if she didn't make conditions for such a magical medicine, he wouldn't believe it. The emperor nodded and asked: "What is your request? Please tell me and listen."

Hu Yanping lowered his head half-way, with a shy face: "Please give me a marriage, your Majesty, and marry me to King Yingchuan."

"You want to marry King Yingchuan?!" The emperor felt insulted. His preference for Hu Yanping was well known to everyone, and even made many concubines in the harem jealous. However, Hu Yanping told him that she wanted to marry Ouyang Sheng, which was a slap in his face.

Hu Yanping bent her knees and knelt in front of him. When she lowered her head and bent over, she revealed a jade pendant hidden in her collar. It was the crystal lotus that was paired with Ouyang Sheng. This was obviously a waist ornament, but she hid it in her collar, showing that she didn't dare let anyone know about it.

When the emperor saw the crystal lotus, he became more and more heartbroken. He snorted coldly and looked away.

Hu Yanping lay on the ground and said in a sad tone: "I understand the emperor's affection for me and am very grateful. However, I already have King Yingchuan in my heart. Your Majesty, I am a fool. I only know one way to go." Hei, but the emperor doesn’t want me to be a woman who changes his mind, right?”

After Hu Yanping finished speaking, he glanced at the longevity pills in the box and kowtowed: "Actually, I intend to dedicate these magical medicines to the emperor unconditionally, but I really don't know how to be with King Yingchuan. That’s why I came up with this strategy. I hope the emperor will take care of me and King Yingchuan for the sake of my infatuation."

The emperor followed her gaze towards the box and could no longer look away. At this moment, the desire to live to be a hundred years old far exceeds the desire to embrace a beautiful woman. After all, the sky holds the world, and Hu Yanping is missing, and there are thousands of others, but once the magic medicine is missed , maybe there will never be another one.

The emperor quickly weighed it in his mind and made a decision: "You admire King Yingchuan, but do you know that Princess Yingchuan cannot tolerate others?"

Hu Yanping said: "How dare she disobey the emperor's orders no matter how much she can't tolerate others? Besides, if it weren't for the fact that she can't tolerate others, I wouldn't come to the emperor for help."

The emperor nodded slightly: "Then you can't follow Princess Yingchuan's example. When you marry into Prince Yingchuan's palace, you must respect her in everything and don't conflict with her."

Does this mean you agreed to her? Hu Yanping couldn't help but be happy: "A Ping would like to thank the emperor for your kindness."

The emperor looked at her and said, "Although you are the eldest princess of the Wujie Kingdom, everything comes first. Even if you marry the King of Yingchuan, you will only be the concubine."

It doesn’t matter what the side concubine or the main concubine is, as long as she can disgust Ye Yuxiao first. As for status, let's wait until she marries into the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, and then slowly pursue it. Hu Yanping raised her head and spoke sincerely: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will abide by my duty and never let down Your Majesty's expectations."

The emperor looked at her charming face, sighed regretfully, and said, "Go ahead. I will choose a good and auspicious day to marry you and Prince Yingchuan."

Hu Yanping kowtowed and thanked her, resigned with satisfaction and left the palace.

——————————The hall of Prince Yingchuan’s Mansion was crowded with people, including King Pingnan, Princess Pingnan, Han family, Jiang family, Gu Yuanlang, Sun Weifang... Gu Qingyan, Zhang Chengxuan, Gu Ru Yan, Liu Xianzhao...even Ouyang Sheng's mother Bai Xiqiu arrived. They came to see Brother You and Brother Chen because they heard about what happened at the celebration banquet.

Ye Yuxiao felt very relieved when she saw Gu Qingyan and Zhang Chengxuan standing side by side, even more affectionate than before they quarreled. However, the elders didn't know that they had conflicts, so she didn't mention it and just winked at Lu Qingyan.

Bai Xiqiu hugged Brother You with a face full of pity: "My poor grandson has only been three months old and has already suffered a great crime."

Ye Yuxiao felt uncomfortable, but still comforted Bai Xiqiu: "Old lady, both brothers are fine now, please relax."

Ouyang Sheng also said: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck later. I am not boasting. My two boys have good luck behind them."

How could anyone praise his son like this? Bai Xiqiu looked at Ouyang Sheng and smiled.

Princess Pingnan held Brother Chen in her arms and was filled with righteous indignation: "That Su Sutong who can kill a thousand swords can kill such a small child. Fortunately, she is also a mother."

King Pingnan stood behind Princess Pingnan and patted her back gently: "Calm down, Su Sutong deserved it and was given death."

Princess Pingnan was dissatisfied with his attitude and turned back to glare at him: "Aren't you angry?"

King Pingnan said: "I am angry, but the person I am angry with is not Su Sutong, but Hu Yanping."
