Chapter 468 Yan Han and Tang Ningzhi are your co-wives
Xu Ming returned to his mansion and put down Tang Hengdao. Thinking back to what Wu Yanhan had said to him in Jinyiwei before, Xu Ming felt very puzzled.
The main reason was that Xu Ming wasn't sure whether Yan Han was deliberately fishing for his own fish, or whether Yan Han really thought so.
Is it okay as long as Tang Ningzhi doesn't become the legal wife?
In other words, Yan Han allowed himself to marry multiple wives? Of course, in this era, it was very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. That is, Xu Ming came from another world, and the concept of monogamy was deeply rooted in Xu Ming's heart.
So every time Xu Ming saw Yanhan, Qingwan and others, he felt a little empty in his heart.
In fact, could it be that they are not really opposed to having three wives and four concubines? What they care about is actually only the position of the principal wife? "Forget it, let's not think about it for now."
Xu Ming let out a breath.
Even the position of the legal wife is not easy to handle, because there is only one legal wife, unless you don't set up a legal wife.
But the question is, if I don’t establish the position of the legal wife, will others be willing?
After all, in this era, the legal wife means the mother of the family, and the status is definitely different.
But it’s too early to say this now.
I still have a lot of things to deal with.
"Descendants of the Sugi King."
These four words popped up in Xu Ming's mind again.
"Is it possible that the descendants of King Shan are in this Wudu?"
Xu Ming came up with this idea.
At that time, one of King Shan’s children was rescued from the palace. When the child grew up, he married and had children. Then the child grew up and married again and had children.
Now, nearly three hundred years have passed.
No one knows how many generations have passed since the descendants of King Shan.
By the time of Emperor Wu, there was basically no blood connection between King Shan's descendants and Emperor Wu.
When it comes to Wu Yanhan's generation, let alone
Wu Yanhan and the descendant of King Shan are not even cousins, they are more than five generations apart.
But no matter what, the descendants of King Shan definitely have some blood of the founding ancestor.
So can we use this to find the descendants of King Sugi?
But as soon as this thought came up, it was dismissed by Xu Ming.
Because this is impossible. Not only the remnants of King Shan would look for his descendants. In fact, the Wu Kingdom has also been looking for them over the years, but has not found them.
If there was any magical tool that could be found, we would have done it long ago and would not have waited until now.
"Sir, Eunuch Wei is here."
Just when all kinds of thoughts popped up in Xu Ming's mind, the maid walked in and bowed to Xu Ming.
"Eunuch Wei?" Xu Ming raised his head. "Please invite Eunuch Wei in quickly."
The maid shook her head and said, "Sir, Eunuch Wei said that His Majesty has given you an order to enter the palace, so you will not come in and sit down. I will wait for you outside."
"I see."
Xu Ming nodded and strode out of the mansion.
Normally, Wei Xun would come in to see him, but this time he was waiting at the door. In addition to some factors of avoiding suspicion, it also showed that Emperor Wu was anxious to see him, and there must be something important.
At the gate of the commander's residence, Xu Ming met Wei Xun.
"Eunuch Wei, I wonder what His Majesty wants to talk to me about?" Xu Ming bowed to Eunuch Wei, wanting to see if he could reveal something so that he could make some preparations.
"Master Xu, this matter is not easy to say. You should hurry up and come to the palace with me. His Majesty is waiting anxiously."
Wei Xun said with a smile, and took Xu Ming into the palace.
"Your Majesty, I, Xu Ming, pay my respects to you."
Entering the imperial study, Xu Ming bowed.
"Xu Ming, you're here." After seeing Xu Ming, Emperor Wu walked up happily and helped Xu Ming up.
Xu Ming looked up and saw Emperor Wu’s happy smile, and he couldn’t help but murmur in his heart.
Generally speaking, it is not a good thing when the emperor is too happy with you for no reason.
"Your Majesty is so happy. Did something good happen to you?" Xu Ming also said with a smile.
"Of course." Emperor Wu nodded. "It's more than a good thing. It's a great joy! But before this, I have to ask you, Xu Ming, what do you think of the princess of Chu?"
“.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Xu Ming felt something was wrong.
Since Emperor Wu said so, Xu Ming naturally guessed what the happy event was.
It is estimated that Emperor Wu just wanted to agree to the marriage with the State of Chu.
But soon, Xu Ming felt that it was unlikely. Emperor Wu had previously granted marriage to Yan Han, but now he and Yan Han did not get married, and he ended up marrying the Princess of Chu. Wouldn't the court and the people of Wu be furious? Why? Was the Princess of Wu not as good as the Princess of Chu? Emperor Wu was not a fool. He would not do such a thing that would hurt the people's hearts.
"Although I don't know much about the princess of Chu, she is indeed beautiful, and I heard that she is both virtuous and talented, with superb swordsmanship, and a chivalrous spirit of a female hero." Xu Ming praised, but Xu Ming added at the end, "But in my opinion, she is still not as good as the King of Qin."
“Hehehe.”
Emperor Wu smiled and said nothing.
However, Emperor Wu thought that this guy really didn't want to marry Tang Ningzhi.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have added that last sentence.
Didn’t Xu Ming just want to express - "I didn’t marry the King of Qin back then. Tang Ningzhi is not as good as the King of Qin. How could I marry Tang Ningzhi?"
"Our own princess is of course the best."
Emperor Wu patted Xu Ming on the shoulder.
"But we can just talk about this matter between ourselves. Don't tell anyone. From now on, when the three of you get along, Xu Ming, you must treat everyone equally and not show any favoritism. Only in this way can the family be harmonious."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Ming responded casually, but soon, Xu Ming realized that something was wrong, "Hmm? Your Majesty, what did you just say? Three people getting along? Family harmony?"
"This is the happy news I want to tell you."
Emperor Wu looked at this young man with satisfaction.
"The State of Chu wants to marry its princess to our State of Wu, and we really can't refuse.
But I also know that you and Yanhan have certain feelings for each other.
Furthermore, you directly rejected my marriage proposal. If I directly agreed to your marriage with the Princess of Chu, how would the court and the people view me? So, I thought about it and came up with an idea.
You, Yan Han, and the Princess of Chu will have your wedding held together, and Yan Han and Tang Ningzhi will be your co-wives."
