Chapter 190 How to Repay
Chapter 190 How to Repay
After leaving Chaofeng Palace and coming to the open space outside, Jiang Mingche breathed in the fresh air outside deeply, which suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
Jialuo smells like orchids, A-li smells like tulips, Diaochan smells like roses, Zhenji smells like gardenias, and Xishi smells like orchids...
If all these women came together...
Just thinking about that scene made Jiang Mingche feel his blood boiling...
"Don't let your imagination run wild..."
Taking a deep breath and putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Jiang Mingche then stepped out of Chaofeng Palace and headed towards the Jinluan Palace.
Now that the ruler of Jiang County has just died, although those corrupt officials have been killed, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with.
At a time like this, Jiang Mingche naturally couldn't be lazy.
Inside the Chaofeng Palace, after Jiang Mingche left, the three women began to stare at each other.
Da Qiao and Sun Shangxiang had never met each other before. Although they knew that the other was Xiao Qiao's good sister, they had only met each other two or three times.
Now that Jiang Mingche is gone, without anyone to adjust the atmosphere, naturally I don’t know how to start the conversation.
Xiao Qiao was thinking about something, so she didn't take the initiative to speak.
In the end, Sun Shangxiang couldn't stand this weird atmosphere anymore and spoke jokingly.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, what are you thinking about?"
"Your lover brother just left and you can't hold back anymore?"
"Xiangxiang, please stop talking nonsense!"
"Jiang Mingche is just my brother, that's all!"
Xiao Qiao came back to her senses after hearing what Sun Shangxiang said, and she became a little unwilling to give in.
"Just brother?"
After hearing what Xiao Qiao said, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Just brother?
This is not just fooling fools!
I'm afraid anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between Xiao Qiao and Jiang Mingche is not simple!
If he was just her brother, why would Xiao Qiao be so shy just now?
"As your best friend, I need to remind you..."
After her sweet laugh, Sun Shangxiang's expression suddenly became serious.
Although it was just a joke, as Xiao Qiao's good sister, she still felt it necessary to remind her.
"you say....."
Seeing Sun Shangxiang suddenly become serious, Xiao Qiao's milky white face was filled with a strange look, and she was curious about what Sun Shangxiang wanted to say to her.
He was speaking in a joking tone just now, but his expression changed so quickly?
"Jiang Mingche has a wife in Chang'an City..."
"And there is more than one..."
After looking at Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang slowly spoke.
When she went to Chang'an City to attend the International Lantern Festival, she heard countless rumors about Jiang Mingche.
According to rumors, Jiang Mingche had already taken in Gongsun Li and Yang Yuhuan, two of Chang'an's most outstanding women, into his family...
She also has an unusual relationship with Yun Ying, the famous daughter of the Yun family in Chang'an City, and the previous general of the Great Wall Guard, Hua Mulan, is also Jiang Mingche's woman.
even......
She also heard that Jiang Mingche had some unclear relationship with Wu Zetian...
Back in the Tang Dynasty, she didn't dare ask any detailed questions because she was afraid of the empress's authority.
Now that I have returned to Jiang County, thinking back carefully, Jiang Mingche did have a somewhat unusual relationship with Wu Zetian.
She clearly remembered that Jiang Mingche had contradicted Wu Zetian several times in front of envoys from various countries!
Moreover, Wu Zetian even directly condoned Jiang Mingche's behavior!
At that time, Sun Shangxiang didn't think there was anything wrong, but now looking back, it is clear that Wu Zetian was indulging Jiang Mingche!
She just didn't believe that Jiang Mingche and Wu Zetian didn't have that kind of relationship.
As a female emperor, Wu Zetian was not someone that just anyone could contradict.
If there was nothing fishy going on between him and Jiang Mingche, Jiang Mingche wouldn't have been so bold...
Moreover, Jiang Mingche was just a person of a different surname in the Tang Dynasty and was born as a merchant. Wu Zetian's reward to him was really outrageous, which made it hard for people not to have wild thoughts.
Prince Xiaoyao, General Tiance, Regent...these are the halos of Jiang Mingche!
If one day Wu Zetian suddenly announced that she would jointly manage government affairs with Jiang Mingche and rule the country together, resulting in a situation of one country with two kings, she would not be surprised at all.
"More than one..."
"How many are there?"
After a moment's pause, Xiao Qiao asked weakly, feeling a little nervous for no reason.
She had thought about these things before.
But in the context of men in the King's Continent being allowed to have three wives and four concubines, she didn't think it was a big deal at first.
After all, there aren't many couples like the Zhang old man and his wife who support each other and live together till old age, not to mention that she is the latecomer... But seeing Sun Shangxiang's serious expression, she suddenly felt that this was not a trivial matter...
"perhaps....."
"There should be five or six..."
After taking a look at Xiao Qiao whose expression kept changing, Sun Shangxiang finally told her this heartbreaking thing.
This is still her guess at the lowest level. If she guessed more, it would probably be at least ten...
Yun Ying, the daughter of the Yun family, Gongsun Li and Yang Yuhuan, the two most beautiful women in Chang'an, Hua Mulan, the general of the guard army, Empress Wu Zetian, and Diao Chan, the ruling empress of the Yunhuang Kingdom...
These are what she knew and heard...
"Five or six..."
Xiao Qiao stretched out her tender white little hand, began to count with her fingers, and her little face wrinkled unconsciously.
There are six women in front, so isn’t she the seventh one?
"Sister, is this amount normal..."
Xiao Qiao turned her head and looked at Da Qiao, blinked, and asked in a baby voice.
Because Xiao Qiao grew up under the protection of Old Man Zhang and his wife, she doesn't know much about these things.
Although I know that men in the King's Continent can have three wives and four concubines, but it seems that most men only have one wife and one concubine, right?
It is rare in this era to see couples like Mr. and Mrs. Zhang supporting each other and growing old together.
"Normal, but also abnormal..."
"Don't forget that he is the emperor of Yunhuang. It is normal for him to marry only one woman and have thousands of concubines..."
Touching the little girl's bun, Da Qiao said with a faint smile.
Just like Xiao Qiao thought, for an ordinary man, having one wife and one concubine is the best match.
But Jiang Mingche is not an ordinary man. This guy has too many halos of glory.
Even if Jiang Mingche opened up his harem like the ruler of Jiang County and took in thousands of concubines, no one would dare to oppose him because of fear of Jiang Mingche's powerful strength.
To put it bluntly, if you have the money and ability to support her, and the woman is willing, no one will care how many you marry.
Not to mention that Jiang Mingche is the emperor of Yunhuang, the Son of Heaven, and the person that all people bow to.
Xiao Qiao nodded thoughtfully, expressing her deep agreement with her sister's words.
An outstanding man like Jiang Mingche can easily attract women's attention.
In addition, men are naturally romantic, so it is normal for Jiang Mingche to lose control.
Wasn't she attracted by Jiang Mingche's elegant appearance and powerful strength...
"Sister, I got it!"
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Qiao nodded heavily.
At this moment, she had completely understood her deepest thoughts.
If you really want to be the older brother's woman, you must be mentally prepared for this, otherwise you will be the only one who will be depressed in the future...
"I don't want to interfere with your love affairs. Just make your own decision."
Da Qiao squatted down, pinched Xiao Qiao's tender and smooth face, and said with a sweet smile.
Although Jiang Mingche has many concubines in his harem, she naturally wouldn't say much if her sister could accept it.
After all, this was the background of the era. Her late father had more than a dozen concubines, not to mention someone like Jiang Mingche.
Although Xiao Qiao is the only twin sister, Da Qiao has more than one half-siblings in the Qiao family.
It's just that except for herself, most of those people are mediocre in talent.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to sit in the seat of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.
The position of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family is not inherited according to the hereditary system, but depends on which young women or men of this generation can take on this important task.
If it is a man, he is the eldest son of the Qiao family. If it is a woman, she is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.
The Qiao family is one of the most prominent magic families in Jiang County. They have many members, with hundreds of people in each generation. This is the fairest way to compete.
She is twenty-two years old this year, and her Platinum 2 cultivation level is far beyond her peers.
Thanks to her extraordinary talent in magic and her hard work in cultivation, she was able to firmly sit on the position of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.
After becoming the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, you will get more cultivation resources and have more power than before.
After the old patriarch passed away, she is now the rightful ruler of the Qiao family.
Although her strength is not top-notch, except for the elders in the family, her cultivation is already unmatched among her peers.
"Hehe, okay..."
Xiao Qiao agreed with a smile, and stopped thinking about these things and simply put them all behind her.
"Sister, are you planning to go back to the Qiao Mansion today?"
Sitting back on the wooden chair, Xiao Qiao poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and asked curiously.
Now that the ruler of Jiang County is dead, Da Qiao has no reason to stay in the palace anymore.
After all, she is now free from all restraints and has regained her freedom.
"Wait two more days..."
After thinking for a while, Da Qiao spoke slowly.
Jiang Mingche saved her from dire straits this time, she couldn't just leave without saying anything, right?
But how to repay Jiang Mingche...
This is a difficult question...
After all, this guy seems to have everything he needs, and there is nothing I can do to help him...
