Chapter 625 Princess Extra 9
"Don't worry so much, Your Highness."
Yu Feihong couldn't help but remind An An.
Whether the two of them can be together depends on An An today.
I don’t know how long it took, but An An nodded.
She believed that Yu Feihong's sudden entry into the palace today was not an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.
In that case, she chose to believe Yu Feihong.
Seeing An An nod, Yu Feihong was overjoyed and almost took off with joy.
"General Xiao Yu is really courageous, but I don't know whether the General's Mansion will agree to this marriage."
Seeing An An nod, Ye Jintang walked over slowly.
"Your Highness, my parents also agree. It is an honor for our General's Mansion that I can marry Her Royal Highness the Princess. How could they not agree?"
The corners of Ye Jintang's lips curled up slightly. If she didn't know that his parents did not agree with this marriage, she would have really believed his lies.
"In that case, I will not say any more. The imperial decree granting marriage will arrive at the general's residence soon. General Xiaoyu should go back early to prepare for the decree."
Yu Feihong didn't expect that Ye Jintang would not make things difficult for him and agreed to the marriage very readily.
"Thank you, Queen, for your help. I will return to the General's Mansion now."
Before leaving, Yu Feihong turned to look at An An, took out a jade pendant carved with magnolia flowers and put it in An An's hand.
"This is what my grandmother left me. She told me to give it to my daughter-in-law in the future."
After saying that, Yu Feihong ran away, leaving An An standing there with her face so red that it looked like it was burning.
Yu Feihong hurried into the palace and hurried out of it. Before the General's Mansion could react to what had happened, the imperial edict granting the marriage had already arrived.
The whole capital was filled with discussions about why Yu Feihong married the eldest princess.
Before the imperial decree granting the marriage, there was no news about this matter at all.
"What on earth is going on with Feihong?"
Yu Shan didn't know what to say when he received the imperial decree granting marriage. Wasn't the matter already over? Why was the marriage granted suddenly again?
"Dad, I went to the palace to ask for it."
"You are so confused, Feihong. You clearly know that after becoming a consort, you will have to give up your power in the army. Why are you still so willful and want to marry the princess? Do you really care about the general's mansion?"
Yu Shan was so angry that he slammed the table. How could the prestige accumulated by the Yu family in the army over the years be left without anyone to inherit it?
"Father, I was not impulsive in what happened today. I will marry the eldest princess, and I will not give up my power in the army."
"You have a good idea. It is a rule left by our ancestors that the prince consort cannot participate in politics. No one can change it."
"Your Majesty has not disobeyed the rules left by our ancestors. Besides, rules are dead, but people are alive. I believe that as long as I am strong enough, the Emperor will definitely make an exception for me."
"There is no war going on right now, and you can't make any military achievements. How can the emperor make an exception for you?"
Yu Shan was not a fool. He naturally knew that as long as Yu Feihong was useful to the court, the emperor would not immediately take away his troops even if he married the eldest princess.
"Dad, do you remember how many bandits we encountered on the way from the capital to Dengzhou Port?"
"Dengzhou has been a place where bandits have been around since ancient times. No merchants are willing to transport goods to Dengzhou. The goods will probably be robbed by bandits before they arrive."
"The bandits in Dengzhou have been around for a long time. If I can lead the troops to quell the bandit problem in Dengzhou, the emperor will surely see my value."
"What about suppressing the banditry? You are still young and have a long way to go. You can't live off the banditry once and for all."
"Dad, the bandits in Dengzhou have existed for decades and haven't disappeared. As the son-in-law of the emperor, I can naturally go and suppress the bandits whenever I want. I just need to let the people in the court know that without me, no one can deal with the bandits in Dengzhou."
"this?"
Yu Shan was a little hesitant. He always felt that Yu Feihong's move was a bit opportunistic.
But now that the imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued, he can only agree to Yu Feihong's suggestion.
As the General's Mansion was busy preparing for the wedding of Yu Feihong and the eldest princess, Yu Feihong led his men to open up a new trade route in Dengzhou for the caravan.
Before Yu Feihong had just opened up the trade route and had not yet returned to the capital, an official submitted a memorial saying that Yu Feihong was already a royal consort and that according to ancestral rules he should hand over his power and marry the eldest princess.
Xiao Mo actually followed the advice and immediately confiscated the soldiers from Yu Feihong.
So when Feihong returned to the capital, he had not even had time to take off his armor when news came from Dengzhou that the newly opened trade route had been occupied by bandits again.
The new young general fought with the bandits several times, but failed to even touch the bandits' hair. If this continues, the trade route that had just been opened would be wasted.
"My dear ministers, please tell me who should lead the troops to Dengzhou to deal with the bandits. Dengzhou Port is so close to our capital, but the port has never developed. A big reason for this is that there are bandits in Dengzhou."
"General Xiao Yu just dealt a heavy blow to the bandits last month, but before he came back, the bandits have come back again."
Xiao Mo's words made the generals present feel ashamed. The Tian Qin Kingdom had so many soldiers, but it was always troubled by bandits. It would be a joke if they told others about it.
Immediately, court officials recommended military generals to go to Dengzhou to suppress the bandits. This time they were determined to solve the bandit problem in Dengzhou.
Yu Feihong was busy marrying the eldest princess.
He temporarily handed over all his military power so that he had plenty of time every day to prepare for his wedding.
He was busy like this until the end of the year, and Yu Feihong finally got the girl.
He moved out of the general's mansion and moved directly into the princess's mansion.
The common people in the capital city felt it was a pity when they saw that such a good young general gave up his official career in order to marry the eldest princess.
Some people even looked down on Yu Feihong, thinking that he had forgotten the duties of a soldier for the sake of fame and fortune.
Of course, there are also people who envy Yu Feihong. The fact that he can marry the eldest princess is a blessing he has earned in ten lifetimes.
She is the eldest princess of the Tianqin Kingdom. She is beautiful and has a high status. I heard that the dowry that the queen gave to the eldest princess is so large that even a princess's mansion cannot hold it all. The land and shops alone are worth tens of millions of taels of silver.
With so many benefits to marrying the eldest princess, who would care about those little military achievements?
Winter is the busiest season for Dengzhou Port. All kinds of fresh fish and shrimp are caught and the surrounding fishermen dry them into dried fish and store them for shipment inland for sale.
Some people picked up palm-sized oysters and scallops and kept them in wooden barrels. They also froze the fresh fish they caught in sea water and sent them to the capital as quickly as possible.
The weather is cold and seafood is not easy to spoil. Fresh fish that costs a dozen coins per pound when shipped from Dengzhou Port to the capital can be sold for seven or eight hundred coins. If it is a rare fresh fish of better quality, it is not impossible to sell it for one or two taels of silver.
The fishermen were happily preparing the goods, waiting for the order from the officers and soldiers, and they would take the goods and head to the capital together.
But no matter how long we waited, there was no news from the officers and soldiers.
They clearly said that the trade route would be reopened in the near future, but why is there no news yet?
