Chapter 129: Female Supremacy: One Little Husband a Day 1

Chu Yuan did not refuse the Queen's reward. She was going to marry several husbands anyway, so of course she would pick the one she liked.

However, although the draft has already begun to be prepared, it will still take some time for the show men to go through layers of screening and reach the final step.

Chu Yuan has not been idle during this period. The Queen has assigned her many tasks, and she is now reviewing the files.

Recently, someone wrote a letter to impeach the assistant minister of the Ministry of War for embezzling military pay and withholding rations from soldiers on the border.

Although it is not wartime now, the army is a country's most important line of defense against foreign invasion. The Queen was furious about this and ordered Chu Yuan to investigate the matter.

Chu Yuan sent his confidant to the border to find out what was going on, while she stayed in the capital to check whether there were any discrepancies between the military pay reported by the Ministry of War over the years and the actual pay.

This matter is not difficult to investigate. The amount of money and food that border soldiers can get per month is fixed, and it will be easy to find out if there are any omissions.

So within half a month, she found out the culprit who withheld military pay, and the empress sentenced her to execution in accordance with the law.

After this incident, it was time for the official audition.

Chu Yuan was summoned to the palace early in the morning and was given a stack of portraits of handsome men. The empress specifically allowed her to choose first.

Chu Yuan looked through a few of them. They were all of good family background, good looks, and suitable age.

She chose two, one of whom was Shen Fenghua, the son of the infantry commander, who was 17 years old this year.

Shen Fenghua was born into a noble family. He had been learning martial arts with his mother since he was a child, and was slightly taller than the average man, so his marriage was delayed.

However, Chu Yuan did not think this was a big deal. Instead, he felt that he looked very heroic, different from others.

The other one is the son of a royal merchant family in the Jiangnan area, named Wu Yulin, 15 years old this year, and looks like a well-behaved little white rabbit type.

The main reason Chu Yuan chose him was that his features looked somewhat familiar, like a male star from her previous life.

After reporting the candidate to his mother, Chu Yuan went to Qingyu Palace to wait for news.

The Queen is now over fifty years old and is unable to handle many things, so this time the selection was mostly for finding husbands for princes and nobles, and she only selected a few for herself.

A grand talent show came to an end, and many families in the capital welcomed new husbands, making the scene quite lively for a while.

Chu Yuan was no exception. Shen Fenghua was named concubine, and Wu Yulin was named attendant monarch. They would enter the palace in three days.

Also accompanying him were dozens of palace maids bestowed by the palace.

Chu Yuan didn't like crowds of people, and since she was the only master living in the mansion, there weren't many servants.

With so many people coming at once, it took a lot of effort for her to do so.

With too many people, mistakes might occur and there might be spies planted there. Chu Yuan spent three days to clean out all the people.

Those who harbor evil intentions will simply find an excuse to get rid of her, while those who want to monitor her every move will take advantage of her tactics, bring people into their own camp, and pass on some false information to the people behind them.

Today is the day when the two husbands are getting married. Although there is no official wife in the mansion yet, so it can't be a big celebration, Chu Yuan still set up a banquet and celebrated a little.

They stayed overnight in Wu Shijun's room because Chu Yuan could sense his anxiety and fear. Even his arms were shaking during the meal, and he couldn't help feeling a little more pity for him.

In comparison, Shen Cejun appeared to be much calmer.

Wu Shijun lived in Ningxiangju, the courtyard of which was one-third the size of the main courtyard. Wu Shijun chose a room on the east side.

When Chu Yuan arrived, he was sitting on the couch waiting. When he saw Chu Yuan coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings to His Highness."

"Get up, sit down and talk."

The two sat on the couch, looking at each other in silence. Although Chu Yuan had looked at the picture album in advance, it was her first time to be the leader of this matter, so she was a little at a loss.

But a night of love is worth a thousand gold, and just sitting there like this is not a good idea, so he asked someone to bring a pot of wine to give him courage.

However, she did not forget the main thing. Although these two people were chosen by her herself, she did not rule out the possibility that he was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han.

During this period of silence, Chu Yuan listened to his inner voice: "Your Highness is so heroic, exactly like the wife I imagined, no! Even better than I imagined."

"Should I say something now? But I'm really nervous. Will His Highness think I'm too boring and dislike me?"

After confirming that this person was truly innocent and harmless, the following events happened naturally.

Maybe because he had drunk too much alcohol, Chu Yuan had forgotten most of what happened the night before when he woke up the next day.

I only remember that he kept looking at me with wet eyes and said in a tearful voice, "Please have mercy, Your Highness."

After a night of communication, the relationship between the two became closer, and at least the man in front of her was no longer so afraid of her.

Instead, he changed from his shyness of yesterday and stayed in her arms, not wanting to get up.

"Yu'er, it's time to get up. I have to go to the front yard to work."

"After His Highness leaves, will he come to Yu'er again?"

"Of course, Yu'er served you very well last night. I will come to have lunch with you at noon."

"Then it's settled. Your Highness must not break your promise."

She agreed repeatedly and was able to get out of it. It was really a sweet burden.

The next night, Chu Yuan went to Fengqiaoju, where Concubine Shen lived. Shen Fenghua's position was Concubine Shen, so she could live in a courtyard of her own, so she lived in the main house.

When Chu Yuan arrived, he was having a midnight snack in the house. It was eggnog made in the kitchen, and the house was filled with a sweet aroma.

When Shen Fenghua saw her coming, he stood up and bowed.

"Get up, why are you drinking eggnog at this hour? Didn't you have enough for dinner?"

"Your Highness, I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, so I am more likely to get hungry than others. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."

"It's okay. If you want to eat something, just ask the kitchen to make it."

The two of them slept in their clothes that night, and Chu Yuan did not favor him.

Because just now, she heard his inner thoughts: "Women in this world all like gentle and charming men, why did His Highness have such a unique vision and choose me?"

"Is she really going to sleep with me tonight? I've already told you that I like to wield swords and I'm a big eater, so why doesn't she seem to be disgusted at all?"

After listening to the inner voice, Chu Yuan realized that the person in front of her did not like her and was even somewhat resistant to her approach.

She didn't want to force him, but he had just entered the mansion. If she left like this, the people in the mansion would probably treat this concubine badly in the future.

So the two of them just covered themselves with the quilt and chatted.

This actually made Shen Fenghua feel a lot more relaxed, and she was willing to say a few more words.

Chu Yuan observed that whenever he talked about practicing swordplay and horse riding with his mother when he was a child, his expression became particularly excited.

But all men in this world have to get married, take care of their wives and raise children, and he is no exception.
