Chapter 348 Qin Xiaomi's Choice
Kong Youde was captured, and hundreds of thousands of traitorous troops surrendered to the Kenan Army in an instant.
Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin brought Kong Youde, who was tied up tightly, to Zhao Xiaofei's central military tent.
"The guilty minister Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin greets His Majesty! He greets the Admiral!"
Zhao Xiaofei looked at Kong Youde, who was tied up like a dumpling, and said, "You two are very eager to make meritorious deeds and atone for your sins!"
Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin didn't realize that this was sarcasm, and thought he was praising them for doing a beautiful and clean job!
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness! We have long regretted the mistakes we made in the past, and Your Highness, please give us another chance!" Geng Jingzhong said.
"Me too!" Shang Zhixin said.
Zhao Xiaofei smiled and said, "Really? You two need to practice more in controlling your impatience in the future!"
"I, Geng Jingzhong, was a little rash in my work, but Your Highness saw through it at a glance, which shows that Your Highness has a keen eye," said Geng Jingzhong.
"Me too!" Shang Zhixin said.
"I promise that I will never break my promise to you two. Lead the troops well in the future, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!" said Geng Jingzhong.
"I," Shang Zhixin wanted to say "I am the same" but it didn't feel right, so he immediately changed it and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!"
Zhao Xiaofei wanted to laugh and thought: Have you two brothers finished reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
"No need to thank me! Just lead the soldiers well, and I will ask General Zhou to reorganize your army. The organization will be disrupted, but most of the people will still be yours. Of course, new weapons will also be distributed!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Thank you, Admiral!" they said in unison.
"Okay! Since we are a family now after surrendering, please help me untie the ropes that tied up my father-in-law!" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"Father-in-law?" Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin were both confused.
Zhao Xiaokun pointed at Kong Youde who was lying on the ground and was tied up like a dumpling by them. Geng Jingzhong understood something instantly.
Shang Zhixin still didn't quite understand, so he looked at Geng Jingzhong and asked, "What does Prince Li mean?"
Geng Jingzhong said, "Kong Youde married Kong Sizhen to Admiral Zhao! We kidnapped Admiral Zhao's father-in-law!"
Shang Zhixin was no fool, and he understood what was going on. He wanted to jump up and down and curse: Kong Youde, you are even more shameless than me! Selling your daughter for fame!
In fact, Zhao Xiaofei also had this feeling. He felt that if Kong Youde was to be given an official position, he must be given the title of Grand Tutor.
When others saw him, they would call out, "Greetings, Grand Tutor Kong!" When people heard this, they felt like they were selling their daughters for fame and fortune.
The two men reacted quickly and untied Kong Youde immediately. Kong Youde had suffered a lot this time, and his hands and feet were numb from being tied up all night.
But I just heard clearly that it turned out that the prince didn't like my daughter, but the prince's eldest brother did. But this is also good. As long as they are brothers of the Zhao family, everyone is the same.
"Your Majesty, I, a guilty minister, pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, I..." Kong Youde began to cry and complain about his suffering!
"Okay, okay! Father-in-law, I will explain your matter to the court. The court is in need of people now. The emperor listens to my brother's words, so don't worry!" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"My good son-in-law! I have suffered a lot this evening, I..." Kong Youde began to complain.
Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin were so angry that their faces turned green. They thought to themselves: "It seems we are too concerned about our reputation. If we had known that we could be as shameless as you, our situation would definitely be different."
They are both a little nervous now, fearing that Zhao Xiaokun will avenge their father-in-law.
Zhao Xiaokun said, "You two go down and have a good rest. Don't worry, ignorance is not a crime!"
This sentence made them feel completely at ease. As soon as they left the tent, Geng Jingzhong said, "This old fox, I never thought that we are in such a big situation with each other even though we are all surrendering!"
"Me too! I don't have a beautiful daughter. If I did, I would definitely let her marry a prince or an admiral." Shang Zhixin said.
When Zhao Xiaofei saw that Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin had left, he asked Shen Yunying to bring Kong Sizhen to the central military tent.
The Kong family father and daughter and the future son-in-law get to know each other better and have a chat.
Kong Youde said, "Let's hold the wedding in the army. Sizhen's mother passed away early. I raised her with all my heart! She is the apple of my eye. Now I hand her over to you!"
Zhao Xiaokun thought to himself: You old ghost, how can you be so shameless? Getting married in the army, this is too ridiculous.
"When we return to the capital victoriously, I will naturally hold a grand wedding! Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will let you see a grand wedding and will never let Sizhen down!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Okay! I'll listen to you! Hahaha!" Kong Youde laughed triumphantly. Especially when he saw the faces of Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin just now, and heard that he had become the admiral's father-in-law, their faces turned pale and blue, like two chameleons. I still have foresight.
At this time, in the Prince Consort's Mansion in the capital, Qin Xiaomi came to the capital with Princess Kunxing, while her sister chose to stay in the Zhao family manor in Nanjing.
She can now be said to be very proactive, good at dealing with people, and good at pleasing Kunxing.
Kunxing is now pregnant again and in a bad mood. She is due to give birth in five months. Qin Xiaomi plays music and sings for her whenever she has nothing to do, just to cheer her up.
Princess Kunxing's pregnancy was a real struggle. While she hadn't experienced such a significant reaction during her pregnancy with Wenxian, this time it was intense, with frequent vomiting. It was truly frustrating. Qin Xiaomi, seizing the opportunity, made a bowl of hawthorn cake while Princess Kunxing was vomiting. This helped her feel a little better afterward, and Kunxing subsequently developed an interest in her.
Qin Xiaomi was very capable and personally took care of Princess Kunxing's daily life. She had never done this to her sister when she was pregnant.
Princess Kunxing loves singing and dancing, and likes to listen to some music whenever she has nothing to do.
Qin Xiaomi simply went on stage herself, playing the pipa and erhu. She also knew how to do the peacock dance, which she had learned specifically for her film career. Now she was putting it all to use.
In the study, Princess Kunxing took a book and said to Qin Xiaomi, "I think the prince is determined not to take a concubine anymore. You should stay away from the mansion to avoid wasting your life!"
"Princess! I am willing to serve you! Princess, please don't kick me out!" Qin Xiaomi said. She was afraid that Princess Kunxing would marry her to an ordinary Ming Dynasty man. She didn't want that! Who has the thickest legs in the Ming Dynasty now? It's undoubtedly her brother-in-law!
"I don't mean to drive you out of the house. I want to send you to the palace. With your personality, I'm sure my brother will like you!" Princess Kunxing didn't know what she was thinking. Was she going crazy because of pregnancy?
Qin Xiaomi was surprised to hear that. Serving the Emperor? I heard the Emperor was not very old, not even as old as me! Maybe he was even easier to fool.
