The busy day was finally over. Tu Yufan looked down and saw Ji Suzhi's embarrassed expression turned into shyness, and her face instantly turned red and almost smoked.

Tu Yufan's brows twitched, and his expression changed quite quickly. It seemed that he realized what day it was today.

.........

After marriage, Tu Yufan brought Ji Suzhi back to Qiang City and officially began to take over the affairs of the Jin family. Tu Yufan had much more power. The Jin family had shops and hotels all over the country and had many spies and resources.

Moreover, merchants in this world will vigorously train their family members to become officials. Power and wealth are inseparable. The Jin family is a wealthy family, so it is easier for them to train their family members to become officials.

Tu Yufan speculated that as time went on, it would cause a lot of criticism, and the country would most likely impose restrictions. No matter when, collusion between officials and businessmen is the most deadly.

Three years later, the housekeeper came over and said, "My Lord, Chengnan wants to make peace and has sent an envoy to Yang State."

Tu Yufan raised his eyebrows. General Ji had been on the border for many years and had rarely suffered defeat. In recent years, he had been particularly brave. Even when he broke into the enemy's interior, he captured members of the royal family, which eventually led to Chengnan losing a lot of money and territory.

As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, Chengnan had no choice but to bow his head and ask for peace.

Although Chengnan may seem timid and polite, he is actually a very flexible person. When he is at a disadvantage, he will be as humble as dust to let his enemies relax. Once he gets a chance, he will bite off a piece of his flesh like a poisonous snake.

Capital

The emperor looked at the envoy coming from Chengnan with high spirits.

They wore strange clothes, and the metal ornaments on their bodies jingled as they walked. They knelt respectfully before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of your country sent me here in the hope that the years of fighting could be stopped. I am grateful to the Southern Kingdom for bringing the greatest sincerity and hope to promote the long-lasting friendship between the two countries."

The Emperor of Yang State did not listen to these words at all. He stared at the woman behind the messenger without blinking. The woman had fair skin and a slender waist, which made her figure even more charming. Her face was covered with a layer of white gauze, making her appearance vaguely visible, which made him feel itchy.

Ji Xinwu saw that the concubines around her could hardly maintain their expressions, so she pursed her lips slightly, trying to hold back the smile that was about to burst out.

The envoy of Chengnan noticed the emperor's interested look and explained quickly: "This is our country's Sangong, whose appearance is far superior to that of ordinary people. For the sake of peace between the two countries, we specially sent him to marry."

........

Later, Chengnan ceded several cities and paid gold and jewelry as compensation, and the two countries signed a peace treaty.

After Chengnan Sangong entered the palace, she was named Concubine Yan. Now that all the concubines in the harem were getting old, the emperor naturally had no interest in them, and Concubine Yan soon became the exclusive favorite.

The strange thing is that although Concubine Yan has a gentle personality, she likes to follow the Imperial Concubine the most and often visits her from time to time.

Ji Xinwu didn't believe that Concubine Yan came to show her goodwill. She didn't know how much blood of the royal family of Chengnan Kingdom was stained on her hands. Concubine Yan probably hated her to the core.

But every time she rejected his advances, Concubine Yan would cry and complain to the emperor, and then the emperor would scold her for being mean-spirited.

After the wedding, Ji Xinwu accidentally got pregnant, Concubine Yan had a miscarriage, and Ji Xinwu was charged with murdering the royal heir.

When Tu Yufan received the news that Ji Xinwu was banished to the cold palace, he realized that this emperor was really not to be judged by appearance. Cheng Nanguo had just surrendered, and although he was extremely fond of Concubine Yan, he had actually been preparing to take action against Ji Xinwu.

Ji Suzhi's face was filled with worry: "Sister doesn't even despise the emperor, so how could she attack the heir to the throne?"
