Prince Needs to be Tamed

Yan Ze minded his own business and found a bed in his room to lie on. Lu JinNian rubbed his nose, went to the embroidery workshop's warehouse and pulled a blanket over him before starting to flip through the documents.

There was no other way. As a good master, while he was squeezing out his subordinates' labor, he had to give them a certain amount of care. Otherwise, how could he continue to squeeze out more?

The case of the nomads was very different from that of the Central Plains. They were collectively known as the Huns, and were taught the rule of the Huns and the Khan of the Huns.

There were also many small tribes that were not competitive in private, and they were often annexed by other powerful tribes.

However, as long as these powerful tribes still respected the Huns, the Huns would turn a blind eye and pass by.

Powerful hunters could hunt for food, and strong people could enslave the weak. The law of the jungle dictated that the strong preyed on the weak.

However, the recent situation in which the Huns were respected and the tribes underneath were swallowing each other and consuming each other had been broken. A small tribe, which was originally mediocre, had suddenly risen to prominence and was comparable to several large tribes on the prairie.

Moreover, the leader of this tribe was very good at dealing with merchants from the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The reason Hun Kahn had sent his envoys and relatives this time was to discuss with the Ming Kingdom and obtain the sole right to do business with the other markets of the Ming Kingdom. The merchants who did business with him could only contact him, but not the others from the other tribes.

The princess came to kiss him as a show of goodwill, wanting the princess of the Ming Xuan Country to be his hostage. The imperial power of the Central Plains was supreme, and with Princess Ming Xuan present, the caravans would also run to the Hunchbacked Khan to save face for the princess, instead of going to other tribes.

Yan Ze woke up after a short rest. He lifted the blanket from his body and drowsily saw Lu Jinsheng holding onto a file. He looked very unhappy and advised, "Miss, you have to remain calm."

Lu JinNian tapped the file lightly with the back of his finger, "The Hun Ji-han thinks quite well, who gave him the courage?" Liang Jingru? Does he even know who Liang Jingru is?

"The Huns have a long term dominating grassland, which directly blocks the communication channel between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. They also have some confidence. What if our king doesn't agree to exchange the marriage alliance and directly seals off the business road?"

Yan Ze began to seriously consider how he could quickly transfer and collect the assets of the Great Prairie and the Western Regions if the trading road suddenly had to be sealed.

Lu JinNian glanced at him, "Don't worry, you think that only merchants make money by opening up their trading routes, and the Huns also get a lot of oil. Besides, the tea leaves and silk from the Central Plains are very popular in the prairie and the Western Regions."

"Even if the Hun Kai-han really had the heart to shut down the business road, it would only cause people to complain in the end, and his reputation would drop even further."

"The name of the tribe is Shou, and the name of the leader is Yenaga. He is only twenty-five years old, and very young."

Lu JinNian suddenly said excitedly, "I think highly of him. After all, Anubis is old and decrepit, so he is very generous. Yan Ze, have you come into contact with Yenaga?"

"…" Therefore, when her young mistress talked about proper business, it always involved her appearance …

"I'm a businessman. As long as it's profitable, I can be friends with anyone."

Lu JinNian, "..." If it was for money, why would he throw away all his integrity? He was tired and kind, why did his subordinates speak so naturally of their shamelessness?

"Alright, we have to do something about the marriage alliance when we have no other choice." We are the victors of this war, and we are also wealthy and powerful. If the Huns were to come up with something and we agreed to it, what kind of great power's bottom line of honor would we have?

Although the Emperor of the Ming Xuan Country wouldn't agree, he still had to make some preparations. Lu JinNian put down the file and stretched, "I don't want to see the good relationship between us and the Huns. It's going to be interesting."

Yan Ze smiled. He didn't think that Lu JinNian was joking. As long as their caravan helped Yenaga with the goods and materials, it would be enough to give them a headache.

"Miss is talking about the palace banquet in early March? I believe the Emperor will use this time to let the Huns meet with the Reich. In the past, he had directly rejected them out of hand, avoiding them in vain.

"Well, I promised Princess Morning, and the Huns probably mentioned the marriage at the palace banquet. I was present, so I'll get a better understanding of the situation."

Lu JinNian paused for a moment, staring at Yan Ze, "Yiran has been looking forward to your return since a long time ago. I only brought Yiran out today, you and Yiran will reminisce about the past, and after some time, Yiran will come to see you again."

Yan Ze looked troubled. "Miss, you know …"

However, Lu JinNian had already called for Yi Han to come out. Waving his hand, he walked out of the room.

For matters of the heart, hiding was not an option. She was an enlightened master who would give her subordinates enough time and space.

"..."

Lu Jinnian quietly returned to his courtyard to change into his female attire, but he couldn't do anything due to the wailing outside. He rubbed his glabella and asked Yutian, "What's the situation, where is grandpa?" Having argued like this, Lu JinNian didn't think that the old man wouldn't be angry.

"The old general was taken away by the junior official of the Hong Si Temple."

He had originally wanted to bring his father over to his place. When he sent someone to tell him about it, Lu Jinghui said that he wanted to stay in the General's Estate for a few days. During those days, the Hong Dian Temple was really busy, so Lu Musheng didn't force him.

Now that the matter of Reich's envoy had been resolved and the Huns' envoy had arrived, Lu Musheng's business had come to an end. He hurriedly took Lu Jinghui to his house to fulfill his filial piety.

"The old general also took Mu Chi away."

Lu JinNian nodded. Originally, he wanted to let Mu Chess learn from Lu Jinghui.

"Then, as soon as the old general left, someone from the palace came to announce the decree, and then it became like this." Keeping his lips pursed, he pointed outside.

Lu JinNian only thought about it for a moment before he knew what the situation was. There had been no war recently and the imperial edict would not be sent to Lu Ink Pavilion. The only thing that could be known about the marriage between Lu Qingwan and the Great General's Mansion was.

The imperial edict should be to grant Lu Qingwan her marriage to the Fourth Prince, Xiao Jing. After all, if that happened, it would be impossible to change the groom's name at the last moment.

Lu Jinjian asked, "What does the imperial edict say about making Lu Qingwan the Fourth Prince? Wangfei? The Royal Concubine? "

"Miss, it's the side concubine. The Fourth Prince already had a side concubine. Lu Qingwan cried when he sent away the official who gave her the decree. She said that the Fourth Prince had given her the position of main concubine. Something must have gone wrong."

Lu JinNian was speechless. She did not understand why a married man would be so popular, even if he wanted to marry her, he could still cry like this over the issue of status.

However, it didn't matter if she didn't understand. Lu JinNian thought awkwardly about whether or not he should add insult to injury. He felt really conflicted. He might as well go and take a look …
