Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Although it is impossible for the imperial concubine to be poisoned in the imperial palace, unless she was banished to the cold palace, no one would care about it.

But Li Shouxi still took out the snake bead and gave it to Concubine Shang for self-defense, just in case.

"You need this kind of treasure more outside. No one dares to anger the Heavenly Emperor here, Mother!"

"Don't worry, mother. Cao Shaoqing and the four servants Mei Jian are here to take care of your daily life.

Not to mention Cao Shaoqing, the ninth-rank swordsman with great finger profundity, the four daughters of Mei Jian are also 20-year-old eighth-rank masters, future ninth-rank warriors. With them by the child's side to take care of his daily life, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

What's more, the domineering skills that the child practices basically make him immune to all poisons after reaching the ninth level."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shang couldn't help but marvel at the talented people around Li Shouxi.

Cao Shaoqing is fine, he is a ninth-grade magic sword fairy with great finger mystery, but I didn’t expect that the four maids around Li Shouxi are also top geniuses of the eighth grade in martial arts.

In the future, those who will be promoted to the ninth rank will be four great masters!

"By the way, you weren't hurt when you encountered the dragon?"

"Don't worry, mother. Not only is the child fine, but it is a blessing in disguise.

With the help of the dragon's training, not only did he master the sword art, but he also achieved perfection in the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, which is equivalent to the horizontal training of the Great Vajra Realm. With the child's unparalleled divine power, the northern border will be as solid as a rock in the future."

"That's good!

But Xi'er, you are still planning to return to Northern Frontier, why don't you take this opportunity to stay in the capital?"

Hearing Li Shouxi's intention to return to Northern Frontier, Concubine Shang was suddenly filled with reluctance and worry.

In the capital, we are closer to the center of power.

As a vassal king, he was not allowed to return to the capital unless summoned, and he might even be trapped there forever.

"The capital is a dangerous place, it's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark!

Especially since the Queen's family is so powerful, it would be disadvantageous for the child to stay in the capital. In addition, my father is at the peak of his powers, so he will not consider delegating power for at least ten years, and may not even abdicate after twenty years.

Instead of wasting time in the capital, it is better to develop your own strength in the north, so that you can attack when advancing and defend when retreating!"

After hearing Li Shouxi's judgment and analysis, Princess Shang also knew that Li Shouxi's choice was correct.

Unlike other princes, Li Shouxi already has his own foundation.

When she heard about the development in the northern border, Princess Shang was also shocked by Li Shouxi's achievements in Liaodong. She realized that if Li Shouxi stayed outside, he would be like a dragon entering the sea, while if he stayed in the capital, he would be like a dragon trapped in the abyss!

"Alright!"

It was not until the afternoon, when the sun began to set, that Li Shouxi reluctantly left Penglai Palace.

But before leaving, Li Shouxi met with Emperor Tang again, told him about the effects of the exotic spermaceti oil, and asked for a gold medal before leaving the palace.

When the prince and others heard that the exotic whale brain oil could accelerate the cultivation of the soul and increase the chance of breaking through, they were also shocked.

Compared with Qi, blood and true Qi, mental strength is the most difficult to improve among the three realms and also the most difficult to cultivate.

Before the seventh rank, as long as there are enough resources, there is no difficulty.

But after the seventh level, it depends on your aptitude and understanding.

Therefore, there are many seventh- and eighth-grade martial arts masters in all major forces, but ninth-grade martial arts masters are extremely rare and are the backbone of the forces.

The value of the exotic whale brain oil, which can accelerate the cultivation of the soul and even increase the chance of breaking through the ninth level, can be imagined.

Originally, several princes wanted to send people out to sea to search for it, but after knowing that a giant whale that was twenty or thirty feet long could easily overturn the largest ship in the empire with a single collision, and that the sea was vast, it was entirely up to chance, they gave up the idea.

Although everyone knew how Li Shouxi killed the giant Kun, no one thought that they could replicate Li Shouxi's miracle.

Unless the immortals on land take action!

"Your Highness!"

In the camp ten miles outside the city, the Black Armored Cavalry had camped and rested for less than two hours before they had to move forward again.

The eldest prince's palace, now the Prince of Yan's palace in Chang'an, is more than enough to accommodate 300 people, so Li Shouxi asked for a token to enter and exit Chang'an City and allowed the Black Armored Cavalry to enter Chang'an City.

Even without the token, Li Shouxi's three hundred warriors could still enter the city.

But the threat posed by the three hundred black-armored cavalry was too great.

This is a master above the 370th rank. With a compound bow and crossbow, he can easily sweep away more than 10,000 Left and Right Jinwu Guards.

Even if Emperor Tang did not say anything, others would inevitably feel wary of such a team.

"Meet His Highness King Yan!"

Although the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Chang'an had been empty for a long time, the necessary eunuchs and maids were still there.

At this time, more than thirty people were kneeling in front of the gate to welcome Li Shouxi's arrival.

And these were eunuchs and maids with certain ranks. Other maids, eunuchs, and servants without any ranks did not even have the qualifications to pay homage.

"Get up, prepare hot water, barbecue, and private room, go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As for spending?

The Prince of Yan's Palace can receive a fixed amount of funds from the royal family every year to be used for the repair and maintenance of the palace, even if Li Shouxi is not in the capital.

In six years, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver had accumulated in the palace treasury.

Li Shouxi doesn't care whether these eunuchs are greedy or not, but the household expenses of the palace cannot be lacking!

Chapter 56: The one who gives birth to the legitimate son will be the principal wife?

"My Liyang territory is the largest and the most powerful, so the Princess of Beiliang should be my principal wife!"

"Why should Li Yang be so powerful? I am the real eldest princess of Northern Qi, with the most noble status, so I should be powerful!"

"I, Princess Nanzhao, am the only royal bloodline of the Nanzhao Kingdom. In the future, the royal bloodline will definitely inherit Nanzhao, and I will be the principal wife..."

···

The next day, envoys from various countries came to Prince Yan's palace!

As a marriage between two families of equal status, the Seventh Prince of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shouxi are not just an alliance, but also the future.

At least compared to the mediocrity of the Crown Prince, the King of Wu, and the King of Thailand, as long as he does not commit suicide, Li Shouxi is likely to inherit the throne of the Nine Five Supremes and become the new Emperor of Tang,

After all, Emperor Tang is now at the peak of his power, and there are still at least ten years left.

These ten years are full of endless possibilities, especially with Li Shouxi's qualifications and his control over Liaodong.

Once Li Shouxi enters the ninth rank, the advantage will be too great.

Because the ninth rank is not Li Shouxi’s end!

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say!"

Li Shouxi also felt overwhelmed by the quarrel.

This time, three marriage proposals suddenly came to the door, and the Emperor of Tang made a big deal out of it, and directly released the news that Li Shouxi was "recruiting a wife".

Moreover, the 20-year-old eldest prince had not yet married, which made all the countries understand Li Shouxi's situation at the time.

Li Shouxi was a golden stock at the beginning.

If he were a simple prince, he would not have gone through so much trouble to get married.

Aristocratic families, the Five Surnames and Seven Families, military nobles... It can be said that the prince does not have to worry about getting married at all, it is either a physical problem or an identity problem!

Undoubtedly, Li Shouxi, who guards Liaodong, belongs to the latter!

Because of his health problems, there is absolutely no shortage of dignitaries who want to get close to him, and once they get close to him, they become royal relatives.

“I have already considered your concerns.

To be honest, I didn't expect that my father would give me three marriage certificates at once, but since my father has already decided, I can only accept it. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed!"

No one said anything because it was the truth.

But again, their princess must never be small, only positive.

"As for what you are asking for?

Not to mention me, even my father and the Tang royal family would find it difficult to come up with a perfect solution."

"What do you mean, my lord?"

The envoys from the three countries suddenly changed their expressions. Li Shouxi's words were truly fatal.

Aren’t they just looking for a perfect solution during this period?

"You are all smart people, you should understand that there is only one principal wife in Prince Yan's Mansion.

This is not two peaches killing three warriors, but one peach being fought over by three people. Therefore, it is impossible to solve it perfectly no matter what. Therefore, it is even more impossible for this king to come up with a perfect solution.

But I can give them a fair chance to compete. Whoever gives birth to the first legitimate son of the Prince of Yan’s Palace after entering the palace can be promoted to the principal wife.”

The first person to give birth to a legitimate son will be the queen?

Upon hearing this, the envoys from the three countries all looked thoughtful, but they also understood that this was the best way to get promoted.

This is the princess of three countries.

“And this king does not insist that she must be a princess, an adopted daughter is also fine.

The marriage between the two countries is originally a marriage without emotions, so it doesn’t matter to this king who it is. Similarly, even if it is an adopted daughter, the conditions I said will not change. Whoever gives birth to the first bloodline of the Prince of Yan’s Palace can be promoted to the principal wife. "

Adopted daughter?

Upon hearing this, the envoys from various countries were somewhat shocked by Li Shouxi's heresy, but they also understood that what Li Shouxi said was right.

There is no possibility of conflict of interest between the two countries which do not border each other, and the marriage is just a name.

Is there any difference between a princess and an adopted daughter?

No difference!

In this way, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

The emperor's daughter doesn't have to be humiliated, and there's no need to worry about problems in the marriage. At least Li Shouxi's promise is here.

And this is the queen!

"Your Highness, isn't this unfair to our princess?"

“The issue regarding Miss Ling’er has already been resolved, and it’s not appropriate for Miss Ling’er to return to Nanzhao right now, right?

The most important thing is that Ling'er is a descendant of Nuwa, and the first child she gives birth to must be a girl. This is known to all the major forces in Southern Xinjiang, and she will also be the new descendant of Nuwa!"

Upon hearing this, the envoys from Northern Liang and Northern Qi realized that they had only one opponent at the beginning, and Nanzhao was purely bluffing!

However, the existence of Nuwa's descendants also broke their cognition.

I didn’t expect that the descendants of Nuwa really exist and are not just a legend.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yan, for your understanding!"

The results of Li Shouxi's work with the envoys of the three kingdoms were quickly delivered to the Emperor of Tang and his royal family. Even he and his royal family could not help but admire Li Shouxi's efficiency.

As for the issue of adopted daughter?

Li Shouxi had agreed, so why would they disagree?

Even if she was an adopted daughter, she was still treated like a princess of Northern Liang or Northern Qi. What's more, if they resorted to trickery, it would be their loss.

At this time, Li Shouxi's realm and opportunities were absolutely legendary in the eyes of the Tang Emperor and the royal family.

In addition, there is Li Shouxi’s strength in Liaodong!

The soldiers did not say much. The hidden value of the black soil is the product of the three major workshops in Liaodong. In the future, the Prince of Yan's Mansion will definitely be rich enough to rival a country.

No, now he is rich enough to rival a country.

Moreover, Li Shouxi had discovered an open-pit gold mine before.

···

"Your Majesty!"

Three days passed quickly, and Cao Shaoqing finally arrived with the tribute.

The carts of carefully prepared tributes exceeded the number of escorting soldiers. Even a thousand pretty and beautiful Silla maids pale in comparison to those tributes!

For a moment, the capital city became lively again.
