Chapter 40: Taking a Concubine
Zhu Huaizhen finished the grape wine in the Shuanglong Haitang luminous cup and said slowly, "Because I possess the treasures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am rich enough to rival a nation. Whoever possesses me will have the opportunity to unify the world. Don't say I'm late. Even if I come here at dawn, you will still have to wait. Is this answer satisfactory?"
"Ming'an, look at this attitude!" The old lady knocked her emerald-inlaid rosewood phoenix-head cane three times, looking full of righteous anger.
"Mother, calm down. Some people are so stupid that they don't even realize it. Their country has already been destroyed, yet they are still so arrogant. If you don't teach them a lesson, they probably don't know how powerful our Duke Dingguo's Mansion is." Madam Chen stepped forward quickly to calm the old lady down.
"Oh, you keep talking about the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but do you really take Southern Yan seriously? Logically speaking, I am a princess of a fallen country, so I should marry into your Southern Yan palace and be a concubine for fun, and then watch you pay your respects to me, instead of being kept as a concubine by Chen Mingan." Zhu Huaizhen stood up with the help of the food tray and talked freely. At the end, he smiled at Princess Pingyang.
What I mean is, Princess Pingyang and the two women from Duke Dingguo's Mansion are disrespectful to Southern Yan. You can deal with it yourself.
"Zhenzhen, don't be so aggressive. We are guests after all." Zhao Lian'er said softly.
Aggressive? What a joke, this is the true nature of her, Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen.
Zhu Huaizhen was in Southern Wu, and he could get whatever he wanted.
On weekdays, if her elder sister mocked her once, she would retort a hundred times.
Anyway, you must not give in when you are right, and you must not suffer any loss when you are wrong.
However, since falling in love with Chen Mingan at first sight, Zhu Huaizhen had to restrain himself and pretend to be a quail egg.
She knew that most men didn't like troublemakers, and Chen Ming'an was probably no exception.
Unfortunately, she was not as gentle, delicate, and fragrant as Zhao Lian'er.
Bah, bah, why does she need to recall?
The past is too painful to recall.
"A beautiful girl in a golden house? Cousin, are you going to marry her?" Gao Yan'er looked at Chen Ming'an, tears welling up in her eyes.
Oh, this is another water lotus.
However, Gao Yan'er is much healthier and has a rosy complexion.
"Yes, Chen Ming'an wants to take me as his concubine. Do you also want to be a concubine?" Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ming'an handed her a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with a cold look in his eyes.
Zhu Huaizhen understood that Chen Mingan was asking her to eat well and shut up.
Haha, she Zhu Huaizhen never listens to others.
But, Zhu Huai really wanted to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
Awww, Zhu Huaizhen was enjoying his meal.
"Cousin, is what Princess Ronghua said true?" Gao Yan'er looked at Chen Ming'an and saw how much he doted on Zhu Huaizhen. Her face turned pale and tears finally burst out, which was very sad and beautiful.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen smashed a soft-boiled abalone and answered first, "Really. Chen Mingan really wants to marry Princess Xincheng, and I am just a by-product. Your status doesn't seem to be qualified, so why don't you become a concubine?"
Concubines are divided into concubines and concubines.
A concubine is similar to a co-wife, but her status is lower than that of a co-wife.
