Chapter 73: Political Marriage

All of this came so suddenly… Jiang Ming felt like he was dreaming!

He had long been accustomed to the days when Chen Damei, Chen Ermei, and Murong Xue, three women, waited on him.

The sudden arrival of two tribe great consort widows who needed to be added to the harem made him feel ‘strange’….

Speaking from his conscience, it didn’t matter if he took in two more women!

But he was still worried about hurting Big Sister’s feelings….

After all, Big Sister is a traditional woman; although she is submissive, it is certain she would still be sad when he brings a woman home.

But not accepting the great consorts of the Changsun Tribe and the Tuoba Tribe was definitely not an option!

Marriages like this were all political marriages, including their relationship with their ex-husbands…

The female side’s family influence was deeply rooted in the tribe!

Not marrying them and starting over would create a great ‘instability factor.’

Murong Xue is the daughter of the Xianbei Khan, with an extremely respected identity. If she is made the Great Consort, she can hold the fort, and the people below would not dare to say anything.

But if you don’t even give a concubine to the former leader’s original wife… this will inevitably cause extreme dissatisfaction from her family!

They don’t care if you like their young woman; they only care about vested interests!

Jiang Ming also didn’t know what the situation was with those two women?

He asked her when he was lying in bed with Murong Xue in the Xianbei Consort’s Residence at night.

“Husband!”

Murong Xue nestled in Jiang Ming’s arms with fondness and said: “My Aunt is very beautiful, only a few years older than me, as for… the original Great Consort of the Tuoba Tribe, Dugu Yan, she is a husband among women, a very remarkable woman… If you marry her, she can do a lot of things for you.”

“Oh? A husband among women? What do you mean?”

Jiang Ming asked, smiling as he patted Murong Xue’s snow-white shoulder.

Murong Xue replied: “She once shot thirty wolves to death in one day, and she also personally killed the wolf king…”

“Personally killed the wolf king… so fierce?”

“Yes!”

Murong Xue said, “Aunt Dugu is a hero among women! Before, the leader of the Tuoba Tribe, Tuoba Hai, had to achieve three great military merits in a row before he could marry her!”

“Oh…”

Listening to Murong Xue’s description, Jiang Ming also envisioned an image of a burly woman with a wide waist, weighing at least 180 jin.

This, damn it, if she sat on him, wouldn’t she crush him to death? Thinking about it, he was scared!

“Tell me about your Aunt?” Jiang Ming patted Murong Xue’s arm with a smile.

Murong Xue said: “I said, Aunt is only a few years older than me, about six or seven years older, she is very beautiful, really… much more beautiful than me!”

“Hehe…”

Jiang Ming smiled lightly: “Does your Aunt have children?”

“She has a daughter…”

Murong Xue said: “My Uncle’s health has not been good, so… they only have one daughter. Why? Husband, do you dislike it?”

“No, no, no!”

Jiang Ming waved One’s Hand: “I don’t mean that…”

Murong Xue said: “I know, you Qian People have many etiquettes… you often have prejudice against women with children, thinking that they are raising other people’s children, but in fact…”

“Tsk!”

Jiang Ming laughed: “Look at you, I’m different from those Qian People, I don’t think like that. I know… your grassland customs are to value nurturing over giving birth, right?”

“Yes!”

Murong Xue smiled sweetly: “The grace of nurturing is greater than heaven, after all… life on the grasslands is difficult, and when you encounter a blizzard, thousands of people often die overnight, so it’s not easy to survive. Therefore, the grace of nurturing is truly important! In the future, Aunt Dugu’s child, and my Aunt’s child, will both call you Father Khan…”

“Tsk! I understand what you’re saying, I’m not so petty!

Jiang Ming sighed and pondered: “I’m afraid you will be jealous…”

“Me? Pu!”

Murong Xue laughed: “I’m not jealous…”

“Not jealous?”

“Yes! Not!”

“Then it shows that you don’t love me…” Jiang Ming took advantage and acted cute.

“No, no, no!”

Murong Xue quickly shook her head: “This has nothing to do with love or not. Of course, I love you! Because I love you, I know that you must marry them. Otherwise… your rule will not be stable. The Dugu Clan has a lot of power in the Xianbei. The Dugu Tribe is also one of the most important three tribes under my Father Khan’s command. As for my Aunt, their family in the Changsun Tribe is also a very important household…”

“Hmm! If you’re not jealous, then I’m relieved, but…”

“Are you worried about Madam over there?”

“No, no, no…”

Jiang Ming quickly changed the subject, smiling and asking: “Your two sisters…”

“Husband, don’t be too greedy!”

Murong Xue pinched Jiang Ming’s nose lightly with One’s Finger and said: “I know Husband’s intentions, but this kind of thing must be done step by step… They are still young. Wait two more years, you say? Then you can bring it up to my Father Khan?”

“Oh…”

“You!”

Murong Xue laughed: “Let’s stabilize Aunt Dugu and my Aunt first!”

“What does Dugu Yan look like? Is she a burly wife like a water tank?” Jiang Ming asked with a smile.

“Pu! Giggle!”

Murong Xue smiled cunningly: “She’ll probably arrive tomorrow. You’ll know when you see her, won’t you?”

…

In the process of Jiang Ming commanding the entire Yan Mountain campaign.

Although it was a huge success in the mountains, Chen Family Village was still peaceful.

Chen Damei only knew that her husband was stopping the Xiongnu People in the mountains, and… he had also formed an alliance with the Barbarians from Murong Xue’s side.

The villagers of Chen Family Village were unaware that more than 200,000 Xiongnu People had been wiped out.

They knew that there was definitely a fight, but they were not clear about the specific extent. This battle was more like setting a Great Fire in the mountains!

Jiang Ming sent Prefecture Soldiers back to deliver a letter, telling Damei that a great victory had been won in the front, and asking her to stay at home and wait a few more days!

He would return after dealing with the matter on Murong Xue’s family’s side.

Many days passed in a row. Damei, along with her Husband’s Younger Sister and Ermei, as well as Qiao Hong, stayed at home, doing needlework, and her longing for her husband was indescribable, as if she would never stop thinking about him…

When eating lunch today, Damei saw the meat and suddenly felt disgusted.

After finding a Physician to check, they said she was already pregnant.

This made Damei’s longing for Jiang Ming reach the degree of passing the days like years!

And Ermei was still complaining about “Brother-in-law”!

She had been married for so many days, and was still a ‘virgin’. She didn’t know when “Brother-in-law” would take her?

Just as the women were chatting and doing needlework at home, suddenly, the Courtyard Guard outside the door reported that the Prefect’s Wife had sent a request to invite Damei to go to Du Kang Prefecture…
