As the dormitory of Concubine De, Deze Palace is not as luxurious as the Queen Mother's bedroom, but the main hall is majestic, and the interior is gorgeous and elegant.

It is an elegant residence in the Wei Palace, and it is even more quiet and beautiful in the evening.

Inside the hall, the soft light reflects the delicate furnishings, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

Concubine De sat upright on the high hall, full of energy and interest.

Chen Xuerong arrived at the front of Deze Palace under the recommendation of his subordinates.

She was dressed in a white robe, and her face was like that of a person in a painting, elegant and elegant.

Chen Xuerong stepped into the dormitory, and saw Concubine De sitting on a gorgeous phoenix chair, with a solemn and elegant expression.

She took a step forward, Ying Ying bowed, and greeted Concubine De: "The courtier Chen Xuerong has seen Concubine De." ”

"Chen Qianjin, please hurry up." Concubine De smiled kindly and personally helped Chen Xuerong up: "When I heard that you entered the palace today, I wanted to meet you and talk." ”

Chen Xuerong answered gratefully, and then sat down with Concubine De.

After a while of greetings between the two, Concubine De suddenly took Chen Xuerong's hand, and her eyes revealed deep expectations.

"Chen Qianjin, do you know why this palace is looking for you today?" Concubine De spoke slowly, with a hint of solemnity in her tone.

Chen Xuerong was slightly stunned, a trace of uneasy premonition surged in her heart, and she said softly: "Please also ask Concubine De to make it clear." ”

"This palace looks at you as a good character, a gentle temperament, and an excellent person." Concubine De smiled and said: "Your Majesty has no biological mother today, and the Emperor Taishang is often worried about his life events, this palace wants to ask you, are you willing to marry into the royal family and become the concubine of Your Majesty today?" ”

When Chen Xuerong heard this, her heart suddenly fluctuated.

She hesitated slightly, her eyes flashing with mixed emotions.

Chen Xuerong couldn't help but bow her head and was silent.

The offer was so sudden that she was caught off guard.

Chen Xuerong doesn't hate Zhao Hongming for telling the truth, both of them are martial artists, and they have a lot of common language with each other.

If you talk about him alone, she doesn't hate it.

However, he is not an ordinary man, he is the king of a country in Wei.

She is not as simple as marrying Zhao Hongming alone, but marrying into the royal family.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Once she marries into the royal family, she loses most of her freedom and faces more complex interpersonal relationships and interests.

As far as she knew, the queens or concubines of the Wei Kingdom were not doing very well.

Some even make a careless move, and the end is extremely miserable.

Not to mention, if she marries into the royal family, she will face the problem of national fortune and lose the possibility of pursuing martial arts in the future.

Chen Xuerong believes that he is not a person who covets glory and wealth.

If she likes someone, she likes them, not looking at the things behind them.

This is also the result of her perennial cultivation of martial arts, all the pursuit of her own heart.

Zhao Hong is really special.

Seeing that Chen Xuerong was silent, Concubine De knew the entanglement and hesitation in her heart.

She gently patted the back of Chen Xuerong's hand, and her tone was even gentler: "Chen Qianjin, this palace understands your concerns. It is indeed not an easy thing to marry into the royal family, you will gain a lot and lose a lot. ”

"However, this palace also feels that this may not be an opportunity for you."

"I don't know what the concubine said, what kind of opportunity is it?" Chen Xuerong met Concubine De's gaze and said suspiciously.

"Chen Qianjin, you know that His Majesty is a rare martial arts genius in the world, and his cultivation is extremely high, and it can be said that he is the only one in the royal family of the Wei Kingdom."

The cultivation of Emperor Jianwu of Wei is so high that everyone in the world can see it.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to establish such achievements, and it only took more than half a year to destroy the country of South Korea and imprison the Korean royal family.

Chen Xuerong is also convinced.

Concubine De said: "Maybe Your Majesty has great luck to be like this, and if you marry him, your cultivation may not be affected, and maybe your cultivation can go further and pursue the path of immortality together." ”

Concubine De knew that Chen Xuerong was a very assertive woman with a deep knowledge of martial arts, and when she saw the slight change in her expression, she knew that she was in the right direction.

So she continued: "This palace heard that His Majesty has the ambition to collect the world's martial arts, and now he has collected many martial arts forces such as the Yingjun Wang family and South Korea in Daliang. Even if you have no hope of martial arts in the future, with Chen Qianjin's talent, it may not be a good thing to integrate these martial arts and help Your Majesty achieve supreme. ”

Chen Xuerong's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

When she was in the Ancient Immortal Dao, she often saw the word "Daoist".

Among the four characters of wealth and husbandry, the word "couple" is also ranked second.

Although the Dao collapsed and the Immortal Dao disappeared today, it is also a great luck in life if you have a suitable partner as a martial artist.

Zhao Hongming's cultivation breakthrough is so fast that she has only seen it in her life.

Becoming a "Taoist couple" with it, the gain should be no less than the loss.

couldn't help but think of the state of "sitting and turning" with Zhao Hongming in the small courtyard before she thought of it, and she liked it very much.

Before and after figuring it out, Chen Xuerong raised her head firmly and met Concubine De's gaze.

"Concubine De is very loving, and the courtiers are grateful." Chen Xuerong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I am willing to marry into the royal family and become His Majesty's concubine." ”

Concubine De was overjoyed when she heard this, and a pleased smile appeared on her face: "So good! When His Majesty found out, he must have been extremely happy. ”

"However, the courtiers have some small requests, and I hope to convey them to Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Concubine De was a little curious and asked, "I don't know what you want?" ”

"The courtiers don't want to be queens and are in charge of the harem." Chen Xuerong said with a serious expression.

Concubine De was a little puzzled by Chen Xuerong's request, but she didn't show it: "This palace can inform Your Majesty." ”

"The other courtiers didn't ask for it. It was not early, and the courtiers retired first. ”

"It's better for Chen Qianjin to have dinner here in the palace and then go back."

"The courtiers have been bothering the mothers for a long time, so it's no longer easy to bother, and it's not easy for the courtiers to leave the palace no matter how late they are." Chen Xuerong took the initiative to stand up and put forward his resignation.

Concubine De didn't stay too much, then got up, and said with a smile: "Dongxue, come and send Chen Qianjin out of the palace." ”

"The slave obeys."

Seeing Chen Xuerong leave, Concubine De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In front of Takefu, these ordinary people really don't have much advantage.

Many martial arts forces married into the royal family, and to a large extent, the Zhao clan of the Wei State made a lot of concessions and paid some costs.

Of course, there are a lot of political marriages involved, and it is difficult to explain them in a single word.

The Imperial Study.

Zhao Hongming sat on the dragon chair and intently reviewed the mountains of music.

The flickering candlelight sprinkled on his cold and majestic face, adding a bit of calm temperament to him.

Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the sound of slight footsteps.

Gao Yanshi cautiously walked into the imperial study, leaned over and whispered a few words in Zhao Hongming's ear.

Gao Yanshi's words made Zhao Hongming raise his head, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, Chen Xuerong agreed to the marriage?"

There was a subtle hint of surprise in his tone.

Gao Yanshi nodded yes, and told Zhao Hongming what had happened.

After listening to the eunuch's proclamation, Zhao Hongming's face showed a satisfied smile.

He put down the piece in his hand, leaned gently back in his chair, and fell into deep thought.

"Chen Xuerong is really a different woman." He said to himself: "I don't want to be a queen, but I am willing to be my concubine and pursue the path of martial arts." Her thoughts coincided with mine. ”

With Zhao Hongming's understanding of Chen Xuerong, she is not a woman who covets power.

She has even greater ambitions and pursuits in her heart.

Marrying into the royal family is a kind of shackle for her.

I have to say that Chen Xuerong was able to agree, which really surprised him.

It just so happened that he really didn't mean to canonize the queen.

Now that the affairs of the court have restrained a lot of his energy, if there are too many concubines in the harem, it will inevitably greatly delay the progress of his cultivation.

Zhao Hongming recalled that when he was a prince, Chen Xuerong's open-mindedness and insight into martial arts made him more sure that Chen Xuerong was a confidant on his martial arts road.

Marrying her is not necessarily a good thing for him.

On the contrary, it is a good choice.

Under the arrangement of the Wei royal family, the day when Chen Xuerong officially entered the palace finally arrived.

On this day, the sky was blue and cloudless.

The Chen Mansion is a little festive.

At this time, a slight knock sounded outside Chen Xuerong's boudoir.

Standing outside the door was Chen Chengan, who was much more mature.

He is the most naughty on weekdays, he has never been serious, and his face can't help but be a little more solemn at the moment.

Chen Xuerong opened the door and saw Chen Chengan standing outside the door with a smile, still holding her favorite Wang Ji pastry in her hand.

Chen Chengan quipped: "Yo, isn't this our future concubine?" What's the matter, you can't bear this little Chen Mansion? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xuerong smiled lightly, and pretended to be angry and poked Chen Chengan's forehead: "You have a poor mouth." I'm reluctant to be here, what? You've made some progress in your cultivation recently, and you want to find your sister to practice? ”

Chen Chengan's smile stiffened, and he subconsciously touched his buttocks.

Seeing his frightened appearance, Chen Xuerong couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled dumbly.

A moment later, a subtle sadness flashed in both of their eyes.

Chen Cheng'an's tone was rare and serious: "Sister, I know that the palace is a good place, but I also know that it is not as good as home." If you have any grievances, be sure to tell me. ”

Chen Xuerong's heart warmed, and her eyes, which had always been emotionally stable, couldn't help but moisten.

She suppressed these upsurges and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." It's you, when I'm away, don't make my father and mother angry. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, but their eyes revealed deep reluctance.

This family affection, whose blood is thicker than water, is particularly precious at this moment.

After a series of complicated processes, Chen Xuerong, accompanied by his family, dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress and wearing a phoenix crown, stepped on the carriage to the palace.

She lifted the curtain and looked back at the Chen Mansion for the last time.

Chen Cheng'an, Chen Mou and other members of the Chen family stood in front of the door, waving at her from afar, with that familiar smile on their faces, but their eyes were full of reluctance.

The carriage slowly drove away from Chen's mansion, and Chen Xuerong lowered the curtain.

Even if she has cultivated for many years and has a firm martial heart, the emotions in her heart at this time are mixed.

Chen Xuerong sat in the carriage, exhaled lightly, and muttered: "Eyes and nose and nose and heart, no distractions, body and mind are one, and nature is integrated." ”

This is a "meditation mantra" recorded in martial arts, which can allow martial artists to quickly settle down and eliminate distracting thoughts.

Chen Xuerong's eyes were closed, his posture was as straight as a pine, his back was as straight as an arrow, his hands were lightly placed on his knees, and his palms were upward.

The true qi of her whole body surged, and soon she was draped in a faint silver veil, making her whole person look even more otherworldly.

The air around her seemed to be solemnized by her presence, and a cool stream of air slowly swirled around her, accompanied by the sound of her long, even breathing.

It was the aura that she naturally formed when she practiced the meditation mantra, which could nourish her body and mind.

As time passed, Chen Xuerong's breathing gradually became long, and the whole person seemed to be one with the surrounding environment.

In the depths of her soul, there seems to be a clear spring flowing slowly, washing away the distractions and troubles in her heart.

The emotions that had existed in her heart were quickly eliminated by her.

All the distractions and noises seemed to have nothing to do with her, and all that was left of her world was the melody of the meditation mantra and the peace of her heart.

At this moment, she turned into a stone sculpture, motionless.

It seems that this is the only way to suppress the emotional changes after leaving home.

In the process of cultivation, the carriage slowly drove into the gate of the palace, and the people along the way stopped to watch.

"Concubine Niangniang, we have arrived."

Chen Xuerong exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the true qi brilliance of his whole body suddenly retracted, ending his cultivation.

At this time, her whole person looked radiant, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, revealing a sense of nobility.

There is no trace of the sentimentality of leaving home.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xuerong stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the royal road paved on the red carpet.

Her demeanor is dignified and elegant, and her temperament is noble and elegant, which is eye-catching.

In the palace, Zhao Hongming had been waiting for a long time.

He was dressed in a dragon robe and a golden crown, and he was heroic.

When Chen Xuerong appeared in his sight, a trace of amazement and joy flashed in his eyes.

He stepped forward, personally took Chen Xuerong's hand, and led her to the main hall.

In the main hall, Zhao Fuxu, who had abdicated the emperor, sat on the dragon chair, majestic and solemn.

Zhao Hongming took Chen Xuerong and knelt down in front of Zhao Yuxu and bowed.

Subsequently, Zhao Hongming and Chen Xuerong drank the wine together under the witness of everyone, which means that the two have become one since then.

Chen Xuerong was also canonized as Concubine Rong in public.

Although Chen Xuerong is not the queen, it is Zhao Hongming's first marriage, which is of some extraordinary significance to the royal family and the court.

The grand wedding lasted all day with laughter and laughter.

The courtiers of the Wei State expressed their blessings and respect to the couple, and the entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and celebration.

Late at night.

After the day's banquet, Zhao Hongming entered Chen Xuerong's bedroom.

At this time, Chen Xuerong sat on the dragon bed, his hands folded in front of him.

Zhao Hongming walked over, and the two looked at each other.

"It's late at night, Concubine Rong, let's rest."

Chen Xuerong nodded lightly, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Hmm." ”

The curtain on the bed was lowered.

After a moment, it shook up. (End of chapter)
