Chapter 1147: Proposal

The weather in late August is getting more comfortable every day.

By the end of the month, the heat had almost completely faded.

The autumn breeze was slow, the imperial capital was immersed in a hustle and bustle, and the streets and alleys were talking about one thing - General Xiang, who had guarded the border for several years, had returned to Beijing.

Speaking of this Xiang Nan, he is now a popular figure in Dijing.

Since ancient times, the generals who have guarded the border have their own topicality, what heroes of the world, what heroes of the country, and what meritorious heroes...... There are both positive and negative.

And this General Xiang is undoubtedly more topical.

Nine years ago, he had an affair with his sister, so the matter of reconciling with the daughter of the Cai family was a sensation at the time and became a hot topic in the restaurant and tea shop.

But later he led the troops to the border pass, the Xiang family lady married a wealthy merchant in his city, and the Cai family's daughter also married a distant cousin.

As time passed, people gradually forgot about this incident.

In recent years, there have been attacks in the Great Xia, but they have not been able to get benefits, Xiang Nan has a way to train his troops, he has a way to resist the enemy, and the border pass is temporarily stable.

And the reason why Xiang Nan returned to Beijing this time caused another round of sensation was because he came back to get married.

General Xiang Da, who has passed the year of establishment, has no wife and no children so far, which is a matter of concern for Xiang's mother, and Xiang Shangshu personally asked the regent to allow Xiang Nan to come back and choose a woman to marry.

The regent agreed to Xiang Shangshu's request.

And for many women in the imperial capital, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity, and the mood of anticipation can probably be compared to the prince's choice of concubines.

The reason why I say this is because the Xiang family has gradually become one of the most powerful families in the imperial capital over the years, and Xiang Nan's father is the secretary of the military department and the elder of the court.

Xiang Nan controls 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and directly obeys the regent's orders, which can be regarded as the most trusted celebrity in front of the regent.

The current prominence and glory of the Xiang family are almost unmatched, and in the imperial capital, where there are few royal relatives, it can definitely be regarded as one of the most powerful noble families.

However.

Under the attention of everyone, Xiang Shangshu fell in love with Prince Kang's youngest daughter, Jun Yao, who was only fifteen years old.

Jun Yao is a concubine, the eldest sister Jun Ni has already been married, and there are two elder brothers, one has entered the military department for training, and the other is just seventeen years old.

This incident was obviously unexpected by many.

The Xiang family is now in the limelight, illustrious and wealthy, although King Kang is the royal prince, he only occupies the title of prince, and has no real power in his hands.

Jun Yao is a lowly concubine, no matter how outsiders think about it, why Xiang Shangshu doesn't want so many concubines from the family, but he takes a fancy to King Kang's concubine as his daughter-in-law?

No one can figure this out.

But no matter what outsiders think, Xiang Shangshu didn't care, so he sent someone to find a matchmaker to come to the door to propose.

Many daughters of families in the imperial capital are jealous of Jun Yao's good luck.

The family is a big family, and the difference between the concubines and concubines has always been rigorous and clear, how noble the sons and daughters are, and how humble the concubines and concubines are.

Although the status of a concubine is higher than that of an ordinary maidservant, after all, she is also half a master, but it has long been a tacit matter for the housewife and concubine to suppress the concubine in a large family.

The concubines and concubines who beg for a living under their mother-in-law have never had a harder time than their maidservants.

However, today, the concubine they never paid attention to has become a phoenix.

How can you not make the long-awaited concubines stomp their feet?
