Chapter 51: Making Enemies Before Getting Married

As the saying goes, hard work pays off.

With Lu Changjing's unremitting efforts, he finally found the fallen imported grape and put it into his mouth.

The taste is much better than ordinary imported grapes. After all, this is a special grape with body fragrance.

After eating up the whole box of spiritual fruits and spiritual objects, Tan Qingyun was too full to sit still and could only lean on Lu Changjing's arms.

"Brother, I heard that the Barbarian Saint wants to be the head of the harem. Is that true?"

After the foreplay, it was time for the main event, and Tan Baobao was indeed up to no good.

Lu Changjing was already mentally prepared, so he said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Baobao, she can never dream of becoming the master of the harem. Compared with the so-called barbarian saint, I think Baobao is more suitable to be the master of the harem."

"Hehe, brother still understands me." Tan Qingyun was really happy and almost rolled over in Lu Changjing's arms: "I heard that barbarian women like to play with snakes, insects, poisonous ants, and there may be living things hidden anywhere on their bodies. It's scary to think about it."

"If we let her become the head of the harem, I'm afraid we won't have a good life. But I don't expect her to be the head of the harem, otherwise Concubine Rong will beat me up."

Seeing Tan Qingyun looking a little scared, Lu Changjing said with a smile: "Are you so afraid of Concubine Rong? Has she ever hit you?"

"That's not the case." Tan Qingyun shook her head: "But she beat my maid. She almost killed her with one slap. She showed no mercy at all."

"If I hadn't run fast, she might have hit me."

"Uh..." Lu Changjing was stunned. Although he could see that Rong Xiyao was a bit domineering, he did not expect her to be so domineering.

In the harem, the queen is, needless to say, the master of the harem, standing above all the concubines.

Next are the Imperial Noble Consort and Noble Consort, and then the ten major consorts, namely Consort Duan, Consort Yi, Consort Zhen... So although Tan Qingyun's rank is not as high as Rong Xiyao, it is not much different.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't have escalated to the point of physical violence, but unexpectedly, Rong Xiyao almost attacked Tan Qingyun.

"Why did Concubine Rong hit you?" Lu Changjing asked curiously.

Tan Qingyun said angrily: "Isn't it just eating her hometown bird? How stingy."

"This..." Lu Changjing was speechless.

If he remembered correctly, when Rong Xiyao married into the palace, the only living thing in her dowry was this homesick bird.

It is said that her mother caught it specially for her so that she could look at this homesick bird when she missed her hometown in Baiyujing.

This homesick bird can be said to be a symbol of Rong Xiyao's hometown. She is extremely precious to him. Unexpectedly, it was eaten by Tan Qingyun.

If it weren't for her identity as Concubine Zhen, I'm afraid Rong Xiyao would have to kill someone.

It seems that although this imperial concubine is a little arrogant and domineering, she is quite reasonable.

I couldn't help but slap Tan Baobao's little butt: "I think you deserve it. That is one of Concubine Rong's most precious things, and you dared to eat it."

"Hehe." Tan Qingyun smiled foolishly, licked her pink lips and said stubbornly: "Although I almost got beaten, it was worth it. That Nostalgia Bird is really delicious. It's better than any bird I've eaten before." Seeing Tan Baobao's shameless look, Lu Changjing couldn't help it and covered her little face with his mouth.

After sending Tan Baobao away and before I had even finished cleaning up the crime scene, I saw Lin Yixin walk in with a hum: "Did Tan Qingyun get here first? If I had known, I wouldn't have made the spiritual fruit porridge myself, so that I could get to the imperial study before her."

Without waiting for Lu Changjing to speak to comfort her, Lin Yixin continued, "Emperor brother, is the Barbarian Saint really so shameless that she actually wants to be the master of the harem?"

"Yes, but I didn't agree." Lu Changjing said with a smile.

Lin Yixin snorted coldly, "Brother Emperor is a sensible person. How can a barbarian woman covered in poisonous insects and ferocious beasts be qualified to be the queen of our Daning Dynasty?"

"After she marries into the harem, I'll show you how I deal with her. I'll make her admit her mistakes."

"Yes, Sister Xin is right." Lu Changjing agreed with a smile, hugged her in his arms, and put the food box aside.

Lin Yixin's nostrils twitched, as if she smelled something: "Brother Emperor still has the scent of Tan Qingyun on him. I want to get rid of all this smell."

As she spoke, she threw herself on Lu Changjing and began to twist her body, trying to use her body to rub off the scent of Tan Qingyun on Lu Changjing, and at the same time imprint her own scent on him.

Lu Changjing's face was rubbed red by her and he almost burned. Fortunately, he made a big mouthful of imported spirit wine in time to block Lin Yixin's cherry mouth, thus stopping her rampage...

After Lin Yixin left, Lu Changjing could no longer suppress the restless medicinal power in his body, and began to practice the Huangji Jingshi Jue with all his strength, absorbing the medicinal power brought by many spiritual fruits and spiritual wines, and improving his cultivation level at an extremely fast speed.

On the next day, Rong Xiyao, Tang Qingyi and others arrived one after another and asked about the Barbarian Saint's coveting the position of Queen. After getting a positive answer from Lu Changjing, they left with peace of mind.

Obviously, no one wants to have a barbarian queen in the harem. If that happens, not only the concubines, but even the entire court will not have an easy time.

Queen Mother Hua Yanqiu also came for this purpose, which shows how great the impact of this incident was.

Needless to say, it is basically impossible for the Seventh Saint Lady of the Mountain Barbarian Tribe to become the Empress of the Da Ning Dynasty.

This lady has almost become the target of public criticism before she even married into the palace. She will definitely have a hard time if she marries into the palace in the future.

However, the negotiations between the Ministry of Rites and the Shanman envoys are still ongoing, and it remains unknown whether this marriage will be successful.

Anyway, based on Lu Changjing's understanding of Ning Zhongyu and Cao Wenzhen, they would definitely not send troops to help the mountain barbarians. Not to mention anything else, they cannot even raise the resources and expenses needed for the war, so how could they send troops to aid the mountain barbarians?

The main reason why the Shanman tribe wanted to marry the Seventh Saint Maiden to Emperor Daning was to gain Daning's support.

If Daning does not support them in their campaign against the Blood Barbarians, there is a high probability that this marriage will fail.

Although he was a little curious about what the seven saint ladies of the mountain barbarians looked like, he would rather let him send troops to the blood barbarians for a woman.

The resources and treasures he obtained had to be divided into a 90:1 ratio with the mountain barbarians. The mountain barbarians took 90% and he could only take 10%.

Even if Lu Changjing replaced Ning Zhongyu, he would not do such a stupid thing.

A few days later, the results of the first round of negotiations came out. Although Cao Wenzheng had no intention of letting Lu Changjing take charge, he still told him the results so that he could pretend to be a good emperor.
