Spoiled Wife

As long as you have the ability, the people will obey you and support you. Ye Lvhong is the second son of the Barbarian King and is also the son of his favorite concubine. He does not originate from a queen, but he is actually the Barbarian King's favorite son.    

    

The Barbarian King had a total of seven sons. Other than Ye Lvhong, the other sons were not completely useless, so even though Ye Lvhong was such a prestigious prince, as well as having a favoured matriarch to deal with, and was always favored by the Barbarian King, there was still a threat from him.    

    

This time, he took the initiative to enlist in the front line only after knowing the border map. Otherwise, how could he bear to leave the palace?    

    

This time, Ye Lvhong was also full of confidence. As long as he could win this battle, no one would be able to stop him in Wang Ting, and this was a golden opportunity.    

    

However, they never thought that King Duan would be so hard to deal with, and he even invited a very strange person to help them, which resulted in them not being able to make any breakthroughs until now. As time passed, he became more and more anxious, the longer he left the royal palace, the more disadvantageous his situation became, and he had to hurry back to the palace as soon as possible.    

    

Especially after hearing the report of his spy, the news that his father was not well and no longer in court, he became even more anxious. If his father left while he was not around and his brothers were successful, then even if he won the battle, it would be useless.    

    

That was why he invited King Rui over. Although he did not like to interact with King Rui much, and always felt that the people of the Central Plains were too cunning, and this King Rui was especially cunning and sinister. He was like a poisonous snake, the moment he targeted a target, he would use any means necessary to kill the person.    

    

Then, the reason why King Rui came over this time was to give Ye Lvhong an idea, and this kind of cat was purposely provoking people like mice was also suggested by King Rui. At the start, Ye Lvhong was only skeptical, how could he not be satisfied? If he wanted to fight, he would fight with all he had, but King Rui smiled mysteriously and insisted on it especially. Since he had no other way, he decided to try it in the end.    

    

Who would have thought that the result would be surprisingly good? They had switched people to challenge the soldiers, and had even harassed them day and night, ensuring the soldiers' rest time and not delaying the challenge. However, Duke Xian's side was in a miserable state. He had been on full alert the entire time. In the end, he was even more exhausted. After a few days, it was obvious that the soldiers of the Da Xia Empire were beginning to lose their spirits.    

    

In an inconspicuous house, Consort De looked at his son with a complex expression, "Yu'er, where did you go?" King Rui's name was Mo Jingyu and at this time, her face was frosty. When she heard Consort De's question, she merely gave her a bland look.    

    

"matriarch doesn't have to worry about that. I will handle the matters outside well." His tone was flat, as if he didn't want to talk about it too deeply.    

    

Every time Consort De saw him like this, he could not help but start to feel weak, "Do you have to treat matriarch this way?" As he spoke, he revealed a pained expression.    

    

When King Rui saw matriarch's haggard appearance after taking off her makeup, lines had already appeared at the corner of her eyes and white hair had appeared. When she thought about her previous love for him, her heart became a little intolerable, she was originally spoiled in her hands by her royal father, she had always been living high and mighty, acting so recklessly, why did she have such a helpless look in her eyes?    

    

Rui Wan couldn't help but feel disgusted by what she wanted her father to do. She thought that even if she wasn't truly in love with him, she would at least have some feelings for him. This caused the King Rui's outlook on life to begin to collapse.    

    

He was ambitious and would do whatever it took to win his favor, but since royal father doted on him so much and gave him the love of an ordinary child, he respected and respected him from the bottom of his heart.    

    

So he never would have thought that the matriarch would betray his royal father after his father left, and use the money his father gave them to settle down. Anyway, he felt disgusted.    

    

Zhang Hao Sheng was one of the Consort De, and was also caught by the King Rui on the spot. Initially, he had wanted to kill Zhang Hao Cheng, but later, the Consort De did their best to stop him, and thought of a way to make him go to the King's Mansion to humiliate the Queen's Consort.    

    

Because he knew that he would never succeed, and because he had been in a fight with King Duanren for so long, he knew that the person who understood him the best was not your friend but your enemy. King Rui and King Duanren were the same.    

    

This made him feel a little better, but his impression of the matriarch could not be wiped away no matter what. When he thought back to the scene he saw at that time, where his own matriarch was lying under another man, twitching and moaning, he felt so disgusted that he vomited!    

    

Ever since that time, his relationship with matriarch had been this cold. He could not walk out of that pit in his heart, and every time he saw matriarch's face, he would always think of that disgusting scene. If this person was not his matriarch, King Rui swore that he would definitely kill her.    

    

The palace eunuchs and maids were unclear, and the palace maids and guards, the palace maids and masters, and even the unfavoured concubines, would all be bullied by the eunuchs. He knew all of this.    

    

He did not feel anything about it, because the imperial palace was the cruelest place. It was always about survival of the fittest, and no matter what means one used to survive, it was always there. But only when it was his turn did he realize how hard it was for him to accept the fact.    

    

This was also the reason why he did not want to face Consort De. After slightly shaking for a moment, he immediately recovered, "If matriarch is tired, then rest well. I will take care of the matters outside." With that, he walked away without waiting for Consort De's reaction.    

    

Consort De stared at his back in a daze. Every time he said that, he would just cover his face. And his reaction was so intense? She really couldn't understand how the King Rui, who had come from the imperial palace and had seen all sorts of dirty deals, could insist on doing something like this. What was he trying to do?    

    

When King Rui returned to his study, he received the news that Queen's Consort had come to his Guanbei. Shen Qi's arrival wasn't a secret, it was naturally easy for him to find out if he wanted to investigate.    

    

Since he was in the Guanbei, he had the highest status. Naturally, all the women and officials in the city wanted to visit him, and he had absolute authority in the imperial court as well.    

    

However, Duke Xian had always been a cold and aloof person. It was impossible for him to rely on relationships to walk this path. Thus, all the officials who wanted to curry favor with him thought of his wife's diplomatic policies and even asked her to bring his daughter along.    

    

It was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. They didn't think that Duke Xian was the only one who had a woman in his life. When it was inconvenient for a woman to serve him, it was also a chance for her to stay by her side if she took a fancy to her daughter.    

    

If he could send his daughter to the King's Mansion, even if it was just a concubine, it would bring honor to his family.    

    

When these wives handed over their posts to her, Shen Qi had initially rejected them on the grounds that he had not prepared well when he first came to the Palace. He had only thought of meeting them together in a few days, so as to avoid wasting his time with two people tomorrow.    

    

When he turned around to tell King Xian this, he only let her decide for herself. He knew that she had the temper to say something like, "If you don't want to see me, you can refuse." He was extremely domineering.    

    

Shen Qi looked at her and smiled, "Then I think tomorrow will be the first day when we spread the word that the Queen's Consort looks down upon people."    

    

King Xian raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you care?"    

    

Shen Qi's eyebrows curved into a smile, "How does Your Highness know that I don't care?"    

    

Seeing her acting like a little king, he couldn't help but go forward and pick her up. The sudden leap in the air scared Shen Qi and made him jump, grabbing onto her clothes in shock, "What are you doing?"    

    

"Sleep!" King Di's eyes were deep.    

    

Shen Qi:... It wasn't dark yet? What kind of sleep was that?    

    

"It's daytime now."    

    

"This King knows."    

    

"Then you ?" Before Shen Qi could finish her sentence, she was thrown onto the bed. Luckily the bed was soft enough, even so, she was unable to get up from the bed.    

    

Then, King Duan immediately covered her mouth with his own. Of course, after a suffocating kiss, Shen Qi started to feel muddled, and then, he couldn't remember whether it was dark or not.    

    

When Shen Qi woke up, the sky was already dark, and there was no sign of King Duanren by her side.    

    

"Is the wangfei going to get up?" These words also made Shen Qi completely red with embarrassment. Even though he knew that they didn't know how to say anything, he still felt embarrassed.    

    

However, she quickly adjusted herself. "Where is the prince?"    

    

"To return to the princess, the prince has gone to the army camp and said that he will probably be back very late tonight. He told you not to wait for him." The one who replied was Zi Li.    

    

Shen Qi nodded her head, the Prince seemed to be extremely busy recently, and would probably be able to make time to come back and take a look around during the day.    

    

"Princess, do you want to eat now?" Bai Zhi asked.    

    

It was good that she didn't say anything, but the moment she said it, she felt that her stomach was empty, so she nodded and replied, "Let's set the food." He then thought of something and asked, "Has the prince eaten?"    

    

Lingtong covered her mouth and laughed, "When Prince leaves, I'll ask you to send it back." She could have taken them all herself, but she insisted on letting the wangfei send them off.    

    

"Then tell the kitchen to cook more and send it over. In addition, the chicken soup is hot. We'll cook some noodles for them at night and serve it to them as supper."    

    

Zi Zhu answered yes, and went to make the necessary arrangements. Shen Qi finished eating and drank until he could no longer sleep, and then took out the humanities in the Guanbei to read.    

    

Inside the big tent of the army camp, after finishing the strategy and tactics, Duke Xian and the others felt their stomachs go through a series of upheavals. At this time, Yan Yi came in to report, "My prince, the wangfei has sent someone to deliver some food to you."    

    

The Prince hadn't yet said anything when Situ Ye jumped up, "Aiya, the wangfei is really considerate. It just so happens that he's starving me to death. Quickly, bring the food over!"    

    

Seeing him like a hungry ghost, even Xiao Mo started to despise him. Duke Xian knew that he had worked hard during this period of time, and now that he had finally completed a major task, he felt relieved and had an appetite again. At this time, he was exceptionally magnanimous as he waved for people to come in.    

    

The young servant carried a big basket and inside it was a huge jar. Opening the lid, a pungent fragrance wafted over, column was very clever, he immediately took out a few bowls and chopsticks and gave the chicken noodle soup to King Duan and the others.    

    

After eating a bowl of noodles, everyone felt like they had come back to life. They couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction, but it ended up being an especially disappointing sentence, "Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow is the real start."    

    

That's right, it would only start tomorrow. Their counterattack had begun!
