All the concubines had an epiphany, and they all felt that they were so stupid, you look at me, I look at you, and they all laughed out loud.

At this time, Babahan, Kokolun and the two princesses also arrived. The courtesy of the palace to Babahan is not the same as before, although Kuo Kuolun is the queen, the momentum is slightly weaker than her. There's no way, who let Babahan have a terrible son-in-law?

Cheng Yue was very honest and didn't look up and down to the people sitting behind him. One is because he is too high-profile and will be seen through if he is not careful. The other is because he has important things to talk to him.

Cheng Yue handed the list that Qinglian gave him to Sa Buhu and asked, "Some of these people are on your side, most of them are not, you see, is it difficult to take them all away?" ”

Sa Buyu took the list, and there were some difficult Chinese characters that I didn't recognize, but I could roughly understand them. There are also her own names on the list, and the names of the seven palace maids are written below, all of whom are very capable Han palace maids under her.

Sa Buhu smiled and said, "What do you want so many women to do?" Do you still think there are few concubines? The Great Khan would be upset. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "You know it's not, but you still dare to make fun of me?" Help me come up with ideas. ”

Sa Buhu lowered his head, thought seriously for a long time, and said: "Those few people under my command will send you to Wanze or Nangkazhen when they turn around, and it will definitely not be difficult for Nuhan, Kokolun and Babahan. Tarakhai and Bo asked the Uzhen to go and tell them yourself, and with your relationship with them, they would not disagree. It is difficult for the people under the Great Khan and Empress Chabi and Empress Nanbi to move, so you'd better let Wan Ze say it first, and Nuhan and I will persuade you from the side. You can always get a few. As for the people in the rest of the palace. It can be transferred with only Wanze's orders. You might as well finish talking about Ze in order to please you. Specially select the honest and loyal Han palace maids in the palace and bring them to Lin'an to wait, in order to replace the servants in your back house. In this way, even if the Great Khan is suspicious, he will feel that this is Wan Ze's power in your back house after cultivating himself, maybe not only will he not obstruct it, but he will give Wan Ze more. ”

Cheng Yue couldn't help but be amazed after hearing this! Turning his head, his eyes looked at Sa Bu like a wolf, and he said with a mouthful of white teeth: "If it wasn't here." I'll eat you right now! Even the belt bones, there is nothing left to eat! ”

Sa Buhu smiled and said, "Who is afraid of you?" It's not like you haven't eaten it, you can eat whatever you want. ”

As soon as the words fell, Kublai Khan and Chabi arrived, saluting all over the building, which was very spectacular.

Kublai Khan walked into the compartment of the cloud pavilion before passing through the process, saw Sa Buhu sitting in it solemnly, and said with a smile: "I just remembered it, why do so many ministers need you to come?" Let's go, follow me back to the Cloud Pavilion. ”

Sa Buhu pretended to wake up suddenly. said with a smile: "The Great Khan only knows how to be considerate of his subordinates, but he doesn't care about our hard work." ”

Kublai Khan laughed. Pulling Sa Buhu and leaving, he turned his head to Hao Zhen on the right side of the book and said, "Lord Hao, can you please make a general translation for Sa Buhu?" ”

When Hao Zhen heard the order, he immediately got up and sat sideways in the compartment of Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue did not sit in Zhongshu Province on weekdays, and Hao Zhen took the opportunity to concisely tell Cheng Yue about the political affairs of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province during this time. Cheng Yue listened carefully, interjected from time to time to ask about something, and frowned slightly when he heard about bald hemp.

Today is a celebration banquet, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, which means rewarding the ministers, so the banquet is extremely rich. The cooks in the palace did their best to make sure that the stir-fry skills they learned from the Horse Mansion were full, and the ministers were addicted to eating.

Wan Ze got the hint of Sa Bu and personally brought the meat he had cut to Cheng Yue. When Hao Zhen saw the princess coming, he hurriedly took refuge next to him and asked Wan Ze to accompany Cheng Yue to eat. While eating, Cheng Yue told Wan Ze the result of his discussion with Sa Buyu.

Wan Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded to Cheng Yue, and returned to the Cloud Pavilion. After returning to his seat, he remained silent and talked and laughed freely.

Kublai Khan looked at the lively scene in front of him, was very happy, drank a bowl of mare's milk wine, and said to Chabi: "Chabi, only now is the soldiers not prosperous, and the four seas are peaceful." Thanks to Cheng Yue, I was able to come back to reunite with you before the Chinese New Year. I just thought that after Wan Ze and Nang Jia Zhen got married, it would be difficult to think about it so lively. ”

Chabi patted Kublai Khan's hand and said, "Great Khan, drink less, didn't Cheng Yue persuade you, drinking too much wine hurts your body, you see that Cheng Yue is so young that he drinks very little." ”

The Mongols were addicted to alcohol, and Kublai Khan repeatedly ordered the army not to drink too much, and killed several officials who had made mistakes due to alcohol, but he himself drank heartily from time to time, sometimes even through the night.

The Great Khan is like this, and it naturally goes up and down, and after the spirits brewed by Cheng Yue were introduced to the Yuan Dynasty, this trend was even more intensified. However, Cheng Yue, who invented spirits, drank very little, and advocated health preservation, which was passed down as a joke among the Mongols, probably the only thing that the Mongols could make fun of Cheng Yue.

Kublai Khan smiled, looked up and swept to Cheng Yue, who was seriously discussing something with Hao Zhen, and said with emotion: "Look at it, everyone else is drinking and having fun, only Cheng Yue is still busy with business, except for rewarding him with a king of Zhennan, there are very few other things, am I a little harsh on him?" ”

Cha Bi said with a smile: "Cheng Yue holds the richest Southern Song Dynasty in the world, and he has everything, and the Great Khan marrying Wan Ze to him is the greatest reward, and it is too late for him to be grateful." ”

Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Yes, our Wanze is a priceless treasure, any man who marries her is destined to enjoy a lifetime of happiness, I don't know how many Mongolian men are envious of Cheng Yue's blessings, I have heard a lot in the past few days." ”

Chabi smiled and said: "That's what I said, but the Great Khan should also reward something else, otherwise it is really unreasonable, and others must think that we Mongolians are stingy." ”

When Wan Ze heard this, he seized the opportunity, got up and stepped forward and said, "Father Khan, I want to ask Father Khan for some people to bring to Lin'an to serve the horse and me." ”

Kublai Khan was stunned and said, "You already have dozens of palace maids in your hands to marry, isn't it enough?" ”

Wan Ze shook his head and said, "Not enough, of course not enough." In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Lin'an, there are hundreds of servants who operate inside and outside, and there are thousands of people used in the horse business, where are my dozens of people enough? I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of the inner house. So I want to ask my father Khan for hundreds of people to come over and replace some of the servants in the palace, what does my father Khan think? ”

Kublai Khan's eyes lit up, he carefully scrutinized it in his heart, gave Wan Ze a thumbs up, and said, "It's so good, but Cheng Yue is willing to agree?" ”

Wan Ze smiled and said: "Father Khan rewarded him with all the palace maids who showed off their branches, and they were all replaced by ordinary servants, why didn't the concubine agree?" ”

Kublai Khan laughed: "Why do you want Cheng Yue to fall into the pile of fat powder?" He wouldn't be polite, maybe he had already planned to do so. ”

Wan Ze said: "Then what are you afraid of? The beautiful father Khan around the horse has also seen it, who among the palace maids can compare? Besides, since I brought them here, wouldn't it be a good thing if any of them were pampered? If the colt wants to enrich the back house with beautiful women, I can't stop him, so it's better to find a good one for him in advance. ”

Kublai Khan pondered for a moment, slapped his thigh heavily, and praised: "She really deserves to be my daughter!" Good strategy! What a spirit! ”

Cha Bi also said in surprise: "Wan Ze, your idea is really ingenious, it's very good." ”

Sa Bu said suddenly: "Great Khan, you might as well give Wan Ze a decree, let her choose any in the palace, as long as it is not the Great Khan's favorite, you can let Wan Ze take it away." ”

Kublai Khan nodded and said, "Okay, Wanze, you can choose some palace maids before you get married, reward them more, and win people's hearts." I'm too old to have so many people to serve. ”

Nu Han said: "In my opinion, it is best to choose more Han people, and Cheng Yue will not be too careful." ”

Nanbi nodded and said: "I think so too, the Han people have many rules, and the Mongols are easy to conflict, but it is not beautiful." ”

Kublai Khan thought so deeply and said, "Okay, let's settle it like this." Wan Ze, you start tomorrow, don't tell Cheng Yue yet. ”

Wan Ze took the opportunity to say: "Father Khan, can the palace maids of each palace and each hall be chosen?" There are a few good palace maids served by Father Khan, I have long been optimistic, and there are a few around the Great Queen, can Father Khan give them all to me? ”

Kublai Khan said with tears and laughter when he heard this: "What are you doing so seriously, the idea has hit me and the Great Queen!" What's missing for those people? No way. ”

Sa Buhu immediately persuaded: "Great Khan, just a few palace maids, what is there to be reluctant to?" If the Great Khan and the Great Empress gave all the palace maids around them to Cheng Yue, what would Cheng Yue think? What if the other palace maids give more? Is there still a shortage of palace maids around the Great Khan? Wouldn't it be okay to transfer a few more to wait? ”

Kublai Khan was stunned, pondered for a long time, and said: "You are reasonable, but you can't let everyone go, you are only allowed to take a few with you, and I can't have Han palace maids by my side." ”

Wan Ze said with a smile: "Of course, more than 100 Han palace maids around Father Khan have been taken away, and the horses don't dare to ask for it." ”

Kublai Khan smiled: "That's it, you have to be careful yourself, don't choose those who are too scheming, pick some honest and obedient ones who know how to be grateful in return." Cheng Yue's back house still has the four sisters of Dingniang, it's okay if you have fewer people. ”

Wan Ze said: "Yes, I must remember, thank you father Khan." With a great sigh of relief, he returned to his seat and sat down.

Nang Jiazhen glanced at Wan Ze with an inquiring eye, meaning to ask her if it was because of Cheng Yue's instructions, and Wan Ze blinked affirmatively. Nang Jiazhen didn't know what was going on, and glared at Cheng Yue angrily. Wan Ze hurriedly stopped her with his eyes, and Nang Jia Zhen realized that there must be an inside story, and pouted and silently continued to eat.

Seeing these in their eyes, Babahan and Kuo Kuolun both wondered, and temporarily suppressed their curiosity, wanting to wait until the fact to ask clearly.

The feast lasted for a long time, and it was not over until the evening, when the ministers thanked Kublai Khan and went home. (To be continued......)
