Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 485 The matter of southern Xinjiang, doubts are gradually emerging

In the hall of Prince Sheng's Mansion, Prince Fu and Mrs. Yan Xiaohua warmly greeted Prince Jun Yuanhang of the Southern Kingdom. At almost noon, Ling Jinghan, Yuan Shaoqi and Zhang Qing, who had no scruples, also came over worried. It was quite speculative, because the materials in the southern country were relatively scarce, and Jun Yuanhang was also very interested in the business of Baiyun Pavilion. Zhang Qing, the only one who hadn't read a book for a few days, was not left out in the cold, but because he was traveling all the year round, he had a lot of knowledge to speak. Of course, they all talked about irrelevant topics, and everyone kept silent about the tacit understanding of things that really involved confidentiality. Jun Yuanhang is also smart, and he always clicks on every question. Everyone has a good impression of him. .

"Ah."

When it was about lunch time, Xiaotuanzi's babbling sound suddenly sounded, everyone heard the sound and looked, and saw Yan Shengrui and his wife, who had not shown up for a long time, one holding Xiaoroutuan and the other carrying a baby walker, and the two came out side by side. On such an occasion, Concubine Yun automatically stayed in the courtyard. After all, the visitor was the prince of the Southern Kingdom, and it was unavoidably inappropriate for her to come out to meet her as a woman.

"You two are finally willing to get up? Xiaotuanzi, it's not fun in there, is it? Come, Brother Jue will take you by car."

Si Kongjue got up and walked over. When he heard that he was going to take a car, Xiaotuanzi jumped at him resolutely and excitedly. The baby walker Ling Jingxuan made for him was the most suitable for him. He liked to sit in it and run around the room when he had nothing to do. , now that it has been eight months, he has finally lost a little weight. After turning over with Ling Wen's help last time, he finally broke through the bottleneck. Turning over will never let his flesh get stuck again, and He can still sit up by himself, although it is very strenuous every time, but he still only likes to sit in the toddler, and the feeling of kicking the ground with two strong chubby legs is the best.

"Stinky boy, you don't even want your father and king when you hear about riding in a car?"

Handing the little traitor to Sikong Jue resentfully, Yan Shengrui turned around and took the baby walker from his daughter-in-law's hand and stretched it out on the ground. Si Kongjue hurriedly hugged him tightly, fearing that he would fall to the ground: "Slow down, slow down, be careful not to fall, come on, we're going in the car."

There is no way to hold the moving little dumpling, Sikong Jue said while putting him into the baby walker.

"Hahahaha.

As soon as the little chubby legs touched the ground, they slid out excitedly, and the hall was immediately filled with the innocent laughter of babies. Yan Shengrui and his wife shook their heads helplessly, and gave Long Zhang a look at Mrs. Long and Zhang who came out together. The two together with Si Kongjue went to the middle table and sat down. They met Jun Yuanhang who was staring at Xiaotuanzi curiously. Ling Jingxuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep the prince waiting, I was too busy last night. , I definitely overslept today."

Today's Jun Yuanhang is wearing a golden python robe, which should be the prince's court dress. His tall body makes him even stronger. He looks a size bigger than Yan Shengrui and the others, and his aura is also a bit chilly, just like last night's. Hearty is quite different.

"It's because I didn't think carefully. It's only right to bother me. The little county king's car is really interesting, so it's much easier to take care of the children."

Withdrawing his gaze, Jun Yuanhang returned to being a bright and cheerful young man once he opened his mouth, and he didn't talk like other people. He just said what he wanted. Ling Jingxuan was in a good mood, and said loudly: "If the prince likes it, I will give it to you. one."

Whether it is a walker or a stroller, Zeng Shaoqing has made up his mind several times, urging him to hand over the blueprints for Baiyun Pavilion to produce in large quantities, but he promised Yan Shengrui not to sell these two things, no matter what Zeng Shaoqing said, he did not Nodding, as for gifting, it's okay.

"Then I'm sorry, I also have a few children, the oldest is four years old, and the youngest is only a few months old, so they can be used just right."

Jun Yuanhang is not polite to him either. Thinking of the children at home, his hearty smile is added with a touch of pampering. The children in the southern country, whether born in the royal family or the common people, are all warriors. They are good at fighting and shooting since they were young. He has been a good shooter for several consecutive times in the southern country, and he plans to teach his children himself in the future.

"You already have children?" Didn't you say that Jun Yuanhang is only nineteen?How many children are there?

"Hehe... the royal family's men will have special people to teach us about that when they reach twelve, and the father and queen mother will also arrange concubines for us. Those children are all born by concubines. There is no such thing in this palace yet. Marry the main concubine and side concubine."

Thinking that he used to be a farmer, Jun Yuanhang was not upset because of his gaffe, but explained to him with a smile. Although he knew in the morning that his marriage with the princess of Qingguo might fail, he still didn't want to Others misunderstood that he had indeed come to the Imperial City of Qingguo with sincerity to marry his concubine and go back to the throne.

"is it?"

It's been almost two years since I came here, and Ling Jingxuan is still a bit uncomfortable with the early marriage of the ancients, although he himself seems to have asked someone to give him that.

"The royal family is like this. My second brother didn't marry an official concubine. There are a lot of concubines and concubines in the family. That was when I left Xiguo four years ago, and there are probably more now."

Sikong Jue, who also came from the royal family, curled his lips and glared at Yan Xiaohua next to him unhappily. Isn't there a ready-made one?Yan Xiaohua, who was also shot while lying down, wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had no choice but to apologize. If he had known that he would meet Sikong Jue, he would definitely guard himself like jade like Uncle Nine Emperors or Uncle Zeng Liu. Disliked.

"In fact, the best childbearing age for men is between 25 and 35. Children born in this age group are the best, while women are between [-] and [-]. It is not convenient to conceive a child too early. OK."

Of course, that being said, in fact, in this era, no man would really have a child after the age of 25. After women get married in the [-]th to [-]th year, in order to gain a firm foothold in their in-laws, many of them also hope to get pregnant as soon as possible, so the ancient dystocia rate They are so tall, and wherever they go, they can hear about dystocia or hemorrhage. It is not surprising that a child is born before the mother's body is fully developed.

"Well, then I don't have to rush to marry the princess, and I can hang around for a few more years."

"Haha."

As soon as Jun Yuanhang finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing, Ling Jingxuan shook his head and said with a smile: "This concubine is just talking casually, if a man has not married after [-], let alone the royal family, he is an ordinary person It is estimated that people will make irresponsible remarks."

This era is perverted, at least in Ling Jingxuan's view, men over eighteen are unmarried, women over sixteen have no husband's family, and people point and look down upon them wherever they go. Except for those who don't marry, because few people dare to point fingers at them, at least not publicly.

"It's okay, it's okay, my southern country is relatively open, and there are many women who marry after [-]."

Jun Yuanhang doesn't really care about this point, let's take him as an example. Although he has a few concubines, they are all nineteen and haven't married a wife. It was only after he felt that he should get married that he made the decision. After ascending the throne as the emperor, he still needed a queen.

"Oh? It sounds like the Southern Kingdom is much more free than the Qing Kingdom in terms of marriage between men and women. I heard that Southern Border is adjacent to the Southern Kingdom. What about the customs there?"

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan decisively took the opportunity to change the topic to what he wanted to know. Nanjiang definitely can’t stay, at least he can’t let them continue to cause disasters. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Knowing more about them is not bad at all. .

"Huh? The princess wants to know more about southern Xinjiang?"

Jun Yuanhang raised his eyebrows, looking at him with tiger eyes deeply, Ling Jingxuan did not evade, nodded and said: "To be honest, the prince also knows that my concubine loves medicine and poison. Learn more, and I want to go there in the future if I have the opportunity to have a look and learn from the locals.”

Anyone who knows him a little bit knows that his so-called walking around and learning from each other is not as simple as it sounds, but Jun Yuanhang doesn't know him well enough. If you don’t dislike it, come to the Southern Kingdom first before going to Southern Xinjiang in the future. I will send a few people to take you in. The people in Southern Xinjiang are extremely xenophobic. As long as the accent is not from their place, it is basically difficult to walk even on the street. In addition, they are very united, if you provoke a person, there will definitely be a group of people who will revenge you one after another, whether they recognize them or not, they will help each other, and they will speak out unanimously."

Southern Xinjiang is an extremely closed-off ethnic group. Under the leadership of the four major families, although they live a decent life, their behavior becomes more and more tough and defiant. Even people from the southern country sometimes accidentally cross the border They died miserably, but fortunately, during the years of friction and getting along with each other, they have also explored many antidotes to restrain the poison in southern Xinjiang, basically there is no need to be afraid of their poison.

"Well, I heard that Southern Border is controlled by four big families. Which four big families are they? Are they all local tyrants and gentry?"

Ling Jingxuan rubbed his chin and continued to ask questions. It sounds like Southern Xinjiang is similar to some conservative ethnic minorities in Huaxia, but in fact most people are not so vicious. They are just afraid of outsiders and don't want to contact them. Forget it, will it be the same in southern Xinjiang?

"Shouldn't the prince know the words of the four major families?"

Hearing this, Jun Yuanhang's eyes turned to Yan Shengrui, who frowned reflexively, and blurted out: "This king is away all the year round, and rarely pays attention to domestic affairs. Back then, the king of Southern Xinjiang did want to send troops to conquer, but because the foreign There are frequent battles, and this king doesn't know much about it."

For a closed nation, he doesn't have so much time to slowly understand, if he doesn't want to understand, naturally Yan Yi and the others will not risk their lives to collect too much information about them.

"No wonder, this palace also heard from the deceased emperor's grandfather. It is said that before the founding of Qingguo, the southern border was actually the base. In this land, the founding emperor of the Qing Kingdom conferred the title of King of Southern Xinjiang to the head of the Jiang family, the first family in Southern Xinjiang. Outsiders only know that Southern Xinjiang is closed. In fact, the role of Southern Border is to take care of the Southern Kingdom. However, for hundreds of years , with the passage of time, Southern Xinjiang, Southern Kingdom and Qingguo are constantly changing, until your Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, when he led an army to crusade against Southern Xinjiang, no one knows what happened afterwards, everyone All I know is that the Nanjiang King of the Jiang family is gone, and the Supreme Emperor has also retreated. Nanjiang still maintains its own operations. It stands to reason that this battle should be recorded in your royal family's sealed storage. If the prince If you want to know the whole story, you can find out by opening the dusty copywriting."

After all, Jun Yuanhang will be the lord of the Southern Kingdom, and he knows more about major events in detail. Hundreds of years ago, the royal family of the Southern Kingdom was corrupt, and the Qing Kingdom replaced it. After rushing to the extreme south, the rest of the royal family survived with tenacious vitality, and gradually multiplied there. At the beginning, they didn't think about going back to regain their dominance, but as Qingguo gradually stood With a firm foothold, they are getting stronger and stronger, and their ambitions have gradually dissipated. Hundreds of years have passed, and they have gradually become content with the status quo. When it comes to the past history, they are no longer angry.

"Emperor Taishang ever attacked southern Xinjiang?"

Yan Shengrui raised his eyebrows in surprise, why didn't he know about this?How could the emperor's personal conquest leave no trace at all?Could it be that the Supreme Emperor deliberately obliterated the events of that year?Why did he do that?Even if he failed to conquer Southern Border, he still took back the title of King of Southern Border. Didn't he lose too thoroughly, so there is nothing he can't see?

"This should be true. I think Zeng Hou and our old man might know something."

Yuan Shaoqi, who hadn't spoken yet, suddenly lowered his face, Ling Jingxuan frowned and said, "Do you know something?"

Thinking that his mother seemed to be from southern Xinjiang, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but wrinkle his brows even tighter. The love affair with Yuan Guogong's son gradually came to his mind. Could it be that there is something related to it?Things seem to be more complicated than they imagined.
