In the harem, Nanhou learned that the King of Chu had returned to the Chu Palace today, and had already summoned the concubines in the palace to prepare to meet the King of Chu.

"The concubine greets the king and welcomes the king back to the palace!"

As Nanhou spoke, there was a sound of greeting.

As soon as Xiong Huai returned to the harem, he saw Nanhou leading the harem concubines to greet him.

Immediately smiled and walked forward to help Nanhou, and then Xiong Huai looked at the others.

Immediately behind Nanhou was Mrs. Qin, who was holding a little guy sleeping soundly in her arms, and to Xiong Huai's disappointment, most of Mrs. Qin's attention was on her son in her arms at this moment.

Beside Mrs. Qin was Mrs. Qi, who had been inexplicably promoted to Mrs. not long ago.

Mrs. Qi has been neglected and ignored in the Chu Palace for many years, and this time she was suddenly promoted to Mrs., and her eyebrows were stretched, with a faint joy, unlike before, there was a hint of resentment between her eyebrows.

Seeing that the King of Chu came over, Mrs. Qi immediately glanced at the King of Chu with a pair of dark eyes, and then showed a shy, as if she was afraid of being discovered, and quickly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai was moved, and said secretly: This is because the widow has not been close to beauty for too long, or has he not found that this goblin is so good at seducing people before.

dared to seduce the widow on such a solemn occasion, and the widow almost lost his temper!

Xiong Huai quickly shifted his gaze.

After the lady, there are two beauties, one tall and one short, one large and one small.

Wei Meiren still covered her face with a scarf, leaving only a pair of cold eyes, through the face towel, Xiong Huai's mind instantly made up for Wei Meiren's appearance of the country and the city in the past, but now she can only make up for it.

On Wei Mei's side, standing was a petite Han Meiren, who was still a beauty billet, who was sold by King Han before it was fully grown. At this time, she was blushing, looking at King Chu expectantly and fearfully.

Xiong Huai looked at her eyes, and suddenly looked away with a sense of guilt, and then saw a little beauty, this look, Xiong Huai was suddenly startled.

She is the only surviving daughter of her predecessor, and other children are not without them, but in this era, it is difficult for children to live, even the children of the king of Chu have died a lot.

Looking at her tied hair, Xiong Huai asked Nanhou beside her, "Queen, the eldest princess is here!" ”

Nanhou nodded and responded: "Back to the king, last year the king was out on an expedition, and the eldest princess arrived in the year of the concubine, and the concubine didn't want to affect the king because of trivial matters, so she held a ceremony for the eldest princess. ”

Saying that, Nanhou asked for sin: "The concubine did not inform the king, please forgive the king." ”

Seeing Nanhou saluting, Xiong Huai immediately grabbed Nanhou's hand: "The affairs of the harem are the queen's decision, what is the queen's crime." ”

Nanhou was pulled by Xiong Huai, and immediately got up and pumped his hand, but Xiong Huai didn't let go.

Nanhou immediately reminded: "King, don't be rude. ”

Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this: "You and I have a deep relationship between husband and wife, how can it be considered rude to walk hand in hand!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Nanhou forward, passing by the side of Gongzi Ziqing, Xiong Huai Zhengse said: "Ziqing, wait for the summons tomorrow, the widow wants to take the school homework." ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Gongzi Ziqing to answer, he pulled Nanhou and left quickly.

···

In the Nanhou dormitory, Xiong Huai leaned comfortably on the side of the bathtub and let Nanhou personally wipe it for himself.

While bathing the king of Chu, Nanhou asked: "Great king, the eldest princess is now in time, and many nobles in the country have come to test the concubines, and even the envoy of the Qin State who came to visit the Lady of Qin in the Chu State not long ago has also shown his intentions. Gongzi Ji of Qin State, the son of the Mi family, is slightly older than the eldest princess, I don't know what the king thinks? ”

"This..." Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, his daughter had only been raised until she was fifteen years old, and Nanhou began to talk about marrying her off.

It seems that there is still a faint reluctance in my heart!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked rhetorically, "I don't know what the queen thinks?" ”

Nanhou thought for a while, and muttered: "Qin and Chu have been married for generations, and the Mi family is also a woman in the Chu State, and Gongzi Ji is also half a Chu person, so it stands to reason that she is a good match for the eldest princess." It's just that Gongziji is the younger brother of King Qin, and the eldest princess is the eldest princess of my Chu State, and Gongziji's status is lower. It's a pity that King Qin has already made a marriage contract with the daughter of King Qi! ”

After saying the south, he opened his mouth again: "The king, but the prince of Qi can consider one or two, the prince is about to perform the crown ceremony, the king of Qi is now in various countries for the prince to choose a wife, if the eldest princess and the prince marry, with the strength of our Chu country, the eldest princess will definitely become the prince of the prince, after the prince ascends the throne, then the eldest princess will become the queen of the Qi country." ”

"I wonder if the king has a will?"

"Childe? Prince Land? Xiong Huai muttered in his mouth, it seems that these two people are the candidates in Nanhou's heart.

Gongziji's mother is a Chu person, and there is a large group of Chu people around him, if the eldest princess is married to him, then Gongziji's body will be branded with the Chu State, which is extremely beneficial to the Chu State to cultivate the pro-Chu forces of the Qin State.

As for the prince of Qi, the Tian Qi regime and the Chu State were at war and peace, if it was about marriage, the two countries of Qi and Chu were also intermittent, and the marriages between the Qi State and the Three Jin Dynasty were even more.

But the identity of the prince is obviously much higher than that of Gongziji, a prince's wife, and a possible future queen of Qi, the gap is huge.

Moreover, this is also related to the choice of the strategic direction of the future Chu State, and Xiong Huai has not yet made up his mind in this regard.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and asked: "Queen, the eldest princess has just reached the age of fifteen, is it too early to talk about marriage at this time?" ”

Nanhou's hand that was wiping Xiong Huai's back suddenly froze, and then hesitated: "Why did the king say this, now in this world, women are fifteen and marry, isn't it common sense?" My Chu woman is sixteen years old, and she is already going to blame her parents and impose a fine, and now that the eldest princess has reached the end of her life, isn't it the right time to set an example? ”

"And the king, look at Han Meiren, she is younger than the princess, and now she has been in the Chu Palace for more than a year, and the eldest princess is normal, how can you say that it is early!"

Saying that, Nan Hou said happily: "Could it be that the king has other candidates in his heart?" Which country is it, or is it after the nobles of my Chu country? ”

Xiong Huai immediately woke up when he heard this, in this era, more people are the last word, early marriage and early childbearing are the norm, and royal women should be even more so.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately replied: "That's not the case, the marriage of my princess of Chu is related to the state affairs of Chu State, and whether it is Lian Qin or Lian Qi next, so the widow intends to choose carefully." Therefore, the widow planned to consult with the important ministers before deciding. ”

Nanhou thought for a moment and said, "What the king said is reasonable. ”

Xiong Huai felt Nanhou's hand wipe behind his back again, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Nanhou's hand, and then pulled Nanhou over with a slight force.

Nanhou let out an exclamation and hurriedly asked, "King, what's wrong!" ”

Xiong Huai's eyes smiled meaningfully: "I just finished talking about the princess's marriage contract, and now it's our turn to do it!" ”

Nanhou looked at the desire in Xiong Huai's eyes, and immediately shook her head happily and expectantly and refused: "King, it's still daylight." ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "The day is just right!" ”

After speaking, he vigorously carried Nanhou into the bathtub······
