I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Beauty (2)
Even though the Emperor of Beirong had sent those beauties as a gift, they could not be dismissed as insignificant. Additionally, since most of these women had prominent family status, they could only stay in the royal family. As a result, wouldn’t it be a public slap in the face for the Emperor of Beirong if Emperor Ye gave them to his courtiers? Moreover, Emperor Ye also couldn’t keep all these beauties in his harem as that would reflect badly on his image. So, the only option was to give some of them to other royal family members.
The history of the establishment of the Ye Dynasty didn’t run for a long time, so there were few members in the royal family.
Apart from the Emperor’s family, only Xie Xuanchen and other offshoots of the Xie family remained. To give some face to the Emperor of Beirong, those exotic beauties would be given to the princes of the Ye Dynasty.
After some time, these ladies would give birth to heirs of the royal family and even come into contact with the centre of power.
Mu Mingtang didn’t even dare to think further, ‘What’s the true intention of the Emperor of Beirong in sending these beauties here?’
If Mu Mingtang could understand, then so could the Emperor and others. But because of the special situation at present, the Ye Dynasty was forced to accept this special gift in order to keep the two nations’ peace talks going.
The Emperor then said, “I greatly appreciate the goodwill of Emperor Beirong. As Wanyan Duo is a tribal princess, it might be abrupt if I make an impulsive marriage proposal. It would be best to let the princess make her own decision. Who does the princess favour among everyone present?”
Wanyan Duo was the daughter of the Tayan Tribe’s khan. She was not a member of the Beirong royal family at all, but the Emperor addressed her as a princess to give her face. The Emperor’s statement caused a headache for everyone as he kicked the ball to others, since he didn’t want to offend anyone.
If Wanyan Duo was a Han woman, she wouldn’t have picked anyone since she would have been too ashamed to lift her head after hearing such words. Wanyan Duo, however, was an incredibly brave Beirong woman, so she immediately turned her face to Xie Xuanchen’s direction and said, “This Wanyan Duo has heard of King Qiyang for a long time and wishes to serve by his side for the rest of her life.”
[TL Notes: King Qiyang is the title Xie Xuanchen has earned by fighting many battles when his father was alive. He was titled ‘Prince An’ by the current Emperor.]
Mu Mingtang was stunned by Wanyan Duo’s words and thought to herself, ‘Is this legendary – watching a play with the crowd, only to find that your house is burned?’
Following Wanyan Duo’s words, the crowd became silent. Everyone turned to face Xie Xuanchen, and Wanyan Duo herself blushed as she looked at him boldly and enthusiastically.
Jiang Mingwei also expressed shock as she looked at Xie Xuanchen. If she recalled properly, Xie Xuanji’s harem featured a particularly alluring member in the original book. That woman stood out among the many attractive members in Xie Xuanji’s harem because of her talent and being from a different country. It was mentioned in the book that she was favoured a lot by Xie Xuanji.
In the original plot, it was mentioned that Emperor Xie Xuanji’s harem was full of beautiful women, and as the story continued, more and more alluring women were swept up in the harem’s tidal wave.
Although there were a lot of beauties, identities of only a few of them were revealed in the book. There was the main wife, Mu Mingtang, the foreign princess who was charming and scheming, and the white moonlight Jiang Mingwei, who lived in Xie Xuanji’s heart. One of the reasons Jiang Mingwei never took Lianhan seriously was the fact that even Lianhan, who was currently well favoured, had absolutely no mentions in the book.
