Chapter 326 2 Faces
It was not until the next day that Bei Jingchu faced the shock of adulthood.
Xu Lanqi led a group of people to stand in front of her and introduced them, "Your Highness, before His Majesty left for the war, he told me that if he couldn't come back before your coming of age, I would bring the chosen concubine to you."
"..."
The young men in front of him, of various styles and appearances, were all wearing robes made of beige brocade and standing in an orderly manner.
Some have delicate eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth.
Some look calm, elegant, and graceful.
Some of them look tall and mighty, cheerful and enthusiastic.
My eyes were blurry for a moment.
Bei Jingchu counted them and found there were twelve in total.
Xu Lanqi seemed not to notice the shock on her face and continued, "His Majesty has ordered that you should change one every month. It's not good to change too often."
"I'll send you a new one next year. Please bear with me."
Bei Jingchu swallowed.
Is this what you call making do?
You are worthy of being my dear Aye. Even if we don’t know whether the quality is up to standard, at least we win in quantity, right?
What a pity, she is not able to enjoy it now.
There are no good contraceptive measures now. If she gets infected, her small body, which has not yet fully grown, may not be able to withstand it.
But it is difficult to reject the kindness of my king and father.
Bei Jingchu put away her inexperienced look and said to Xu Lanqi, "Thank you, Minister of the Central Secretariat."
A crown prince is very steady and dignified.
However, after completing the task assigned by the emperor, Xu Lanqi did not leave, but asked: "Your Highness will soon be selecting a concubine, can you give my son a title?"
If it were a more reserved young lady, she would have been embarrassed beyond measure, but the Crown Prince was a nobody, so he listened to him calmly, "I don't even ask for the position of principal wife, a title is enough."
Bei Jingchu didn't know what expression to make. This father and son's pursuit had been the same for ten years, just to put Xu Chengzhou into her harem, right?
What a united front.
Xu Chengzhou actually listened to his father and didn't rebel at all.
Bei Jingchu responded: "How can we let our elders ask for status?"
Xu Lanqi's face was filled with joy. "So Your Highness wants me to come and ask for it in person?"
Before Bei Jingchu could say anything, he knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace! I will do my best to serve Your Highness."
??? She hasn't agreed yet! What are you thanking me for?
But the old man didn't give her a chance to explain or refute, and just left after thanking her.
The remaining row of freshly-made lovers stared into her eyes.
Although it is very pleasing to the eye, it is very expensive to suddenly have to support so many people who cannot be used.
They also have to be well fed and well drunk, and even clothed in fine clothes and provided with delicious food.
Let’s talk about it after Aye comes back and send the person back.
Wait until you grow up a little bit, then we can talk about having a concubine.
And if we keep some people here, some of them will start making trouble again.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bei Jingchu decided to leave the harem empty for the time being.
Just like that, at the beginning of the new year, news came that the army was returning.
The people in the East Palace all breathed a sigh of relief, but the people on the other side were anxious.
Concubine De was fanning herself in her bedroom in an anxious manner; even the late spring cold could not soothe her depression.
"Didn't father say that the prince was young and inexperienced?"
"Even if we don't do anything, a little girl suddenly becomes regent and won't be able to handle any major incident."
"Now that His Majesty is coming back, seeing that Dai Viet is doing well under the Crown Prince's leadership and there is no trouble, won't he be more convinced of her ability?"
