From spring to summer, the northern bamboo finally returned to the north that it had been longing for.

During this journey, she thought about getting rid of the baby in her belly countless times, and tried running, jumping, and falling down. However, unlike the women in the palace, whose babies would fall out with the slightest touch, hers seemed to be made of copper and iron.

Or maybe she left some room when she ran and jumped.

She used to be her father's favorite little daughter. Bei Yanming pretended to be a night incense for her. She thought she would be particularly happy to meet again. However, when Bei Yanming saw her bulging belly, he just said lightly: "Be at ease and take care of the baby."

It took about three months from her return to the North to her delivery. Bei Yanming visited her several times and gave her some gifts, but every time he saw her belly, Bei Yanming always frowned.

Bei Danzhu was a child who grew up in the palace. She was unruly, but she also knew how to read people's expressions. So when Bei Yanming came and asked her if she could still see through other people's minds, she lied.

If she said no, I'm afraid Bei Yanming would just treat her as an abandoned pawn and let her fend for herself.

Fortunately, there was still the father-daughter relationship, Bei Yanming believed her and did not test her.

She knew that she could not escape the fate of an arranged marriage, so as soon as the child was born, she had the child sent to the capital to be given to Song Gui.

"It's also a way to thank him for taking care of me for so long..." Bei Danzhu looked into the direction of the capital and muttered to himself, but no one could hear him.

When Bei Yanming ordered her to be married to General Qu Lang as his concubine, she was not surprised and did not resist.

This is her destiny and also her pursuit.

Here, even if she was the concubine of a general who was over fifty years old, she was still a princess high above everyone else, enjoying a life of fine clothes and gorgeous clothes.

But ever since she came back from the capital, she no longer used any incense, always feeling that those smells were too greasy and choking.

On the wedding night, Qu Lang smelled so strongly of incense and alcohol that Bei Danzhu almost vomited.

Qu Lang was a straightforward man with a bad temper. After he found out that Bei Danzhu was not virgin, he slapped her in the face. "Damn it! Did the Hades take advantage of me because I'm old and thought I can't fight anymore? He actually pointed me to someone who's been raped!"

Bei Danzhu entered the Wu Kingdom's harem through a talent show, so not everyone in the north knows about her history.

In the past, she would have been furious, but now she has learned to swallow her anger. "Don't be upset, General. Father didn't mean that. Look, the twelve maids I brought with me are all for you to enjoy."

Qu Lang then sneered: "That's more like it!"

He didn't even make it through the night. I heard that he took some aphrodisiac that night and slept with Bei Danzhu's two maids.

This day is her destiny, but is it what she hoped for?

She didn't know that Yao Shang had returned before she arrived in the North. Yao Shang was not a person who played by the rules. When he tried to bring Bei Danzhu back but failed, he came up with a plan and followed her all the way. Unexpectedly, Bei Danzhu returned by herself.

Naturally, he was unwilling to give up this God-given opportunity. After rushing back on horseback, he told Bei Yanming that he had found Bei Danzhu and escorted her back safely. What's more important was that he had cured Bei Danzhu's madness!

In order to win credit, he described Bei Danzhu's situation as miserable, and said that she was taken advantage of by a night-sweeper and was pregnant with someone else's child. If he hadn't rescued her, her life would have been ruined.

Bei Yanming's indifferent attitude towards Bei Danzhu stems from this. The high and mighty little princess was defiled by someone else, and she was pregnant with someone else's child.

Can't sell it for a good price...

Uh no, he was heartbroken and regretful...

Fortunately, she can read other people's minds. In the next few years, he may have to rely on Qu Lang more, so putting a Beidanzhu next to him can be regarded as making the best use of it.

Yu'an, the imperial palace.

The envoy sent by Chu Younan has lived there for half a month, but has not seen Tangya. It is said that Tangya is not very eager to see the envoy from Wuguo.

The envoy was not in a hurry. He waited for him for half a month, then left a letter and left.

Tangya's people had been keeping an eye on the envoy, so they naturally gave him the letter as soon as possible. After reading the letter, Tangya became even more furious.

"It's obvious that you don't take me, the Prince Yu'an, seriously!" He said as he crumpled up the letter.

More than a month ago, he received a letter from Mu Ji, in which he said that he was living well in the Kingdom of Wu, so he did not plan to come back and gave the throne to Tang Ya.

Tangya was happy at first. After all, he had been thinking about sharing the throne with others. Now with Mu Ji's handwriting, the throne was definitely his.

When the envoys from the Wu Kingdom first came to visit, he also felt that he was really the King of Yu'an. But before they even entered the palace, they were said to be complaining about everything, saying that Yu'an was not even as good as their Ping'an County, let alone the new Yu'an, and it was not even a country.

Tangya heard such disgust before he was even summoned, so he naturally became angry and treated the envoy from the Wu Kingdom coldly.

It was cold for half a month. I don't know if they were angry or not, but Tangya was really angry. Every time the people he sent to monitor reported, they said it was the Wu people. Their tone was full of disdain, disdain for a place as small as Yu'an, with only a few Yu'an people left, and it actually called itself a country.

It is also said that Mu Ji was in Xin Yu'an. Although it was a county, he was named King of Yu'an. Although he was only a prince, he had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, and had given birth to more than a dozen children. That was the style of a king.

When Tangya first heard this, he reprimanded Muji for not following his ancestors' teachings, but deep down, he was actually envious and jealous.

Which man doesn't dream of having three wives and four concubines? His first wife was a native of Yu'an. She was pretty, but too short.

How short? Tangya is considered very tall. If we don't compare him to an ordinary man, Tangya's original wife is only half their height.

The imperial physician said that every time the Empress gave birth she would be on the brink of death, so she should give birth to as few children as possible.

Not to mention having many children and offspring.

Tangya's heart began to waver. He wanted to meet the envoy from the Ukrainian Kingdom, but the envoy left.

"Send someone to Xin Yu'an to check out what kind of life Mu Ji is living!" Tang Ya ordered with gritted teeth.

While the envoy was on his mission, Mu Ji was already extremely anxious. He had already gone to the palace to look for Chu Younan eighty-eight times.

"Why is there no movement? Will he just stay as the King of Yu'an?" Muji was almost dying of anxiety. He didn't want to give Yu'an to others! Chu Younan said slowly: "Go back first and do as I say. Wait until the envoy comes back."

He had long anticipated that the envoys' trip to Yu'an would not be smooth, so he had already told them what to do. No carrier pigeons had come back with any messages, so everything should be in his plan.

Even though Mu Ji was getting impatient, he still did as Chu Younan said and went back to his house to eat, drink and have fun.

All of this was seen by Tangya's spies.
