Transmigrating into the Prince Regent’s Beloved Runaway Wife

unedited

It wasn’t that Meng Huan didn’t trust Lin Bozhou, but once he saw this scene, his heart subconsciously felt slightly sullen, and he knocked his bowl heavily on the stone surface, making a clang.

Zhu Dong looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

“A small problem.”

Meng Huan’s face was fair and handsome, his eyes moist and soft, and he usually did not look murderous, but at this time, his eyebrows were heavily pressed down, with a cold temperament, like a cat with claws and fangs raised.

Zhu Dong was confused. “Brother, you-”

“Hmph, never mind.”

Meng Huan’s tone was icy cold as he followed behind the group of soldiers toward the middle army tent.

The leader of the incoming squad army was called Si Xu. He waited for the briefing with his arms crossed at the tent entrance, his brows deeply furrowed, seemingly in a depressed mood. When he received the instruction, he raised his hand, left the gift and beauty waiting outside, and went in first.

There should be a discussion in the tent. Not long after, the curtain was lifted. “Carry the things in.”

The gifts and treasures were carried, and the few beauties were pushed in.

“………………”

?

Meng Huan’s eyes widened. He had thought this group of people would be blocked out, but he didn’t expect them to really enter. His eyelashes dropped, and his heart surged with indescribable resentment. Meng Huan walked over and was stopped by the guards.

“Stand still. The prince is in the middle of a discussion.”

Meng Huan’s face was irritated. “The prince summoned me here. If you don’t believe me, go and inform him.”

The guard was hesitant to make sure and lifted the tent’s curtain.

–The atmosphere inside the tent was one of general harmony.

Si Xu had traveled from Yufu, and as the commander-in-chief, Lin Bozhou had to hold a welcoming banquet for him. The table was full of wine and meat, and he held a cup of wine in one hand, standing beside Si Xu and handing it to him.

But as Lin Bozhou glanced sideways, he saw the beauties sent into the tent and raised his eyebrows.

“What does General Si mean by this?”

Beauty was a treasure for generals on the march, and many military generals were obsessed with pampering beauty while at war. They would offer each other beauty, which became a kind of equivalent gift that lost human rights in the military.

Si Xu said, “Your Highness has a beautiful wife and concubines to accompany him in the prince’s residence, but the military camp is too boring and not as relaxing as the prince’s residence. To help with Your Highness’ worries, this general searched for a few beautiful beauties on his way to the prince and offered them to the prince to relieve his boredom–”

“……”

Lin Bozhou’s finger holding the wine cup lurched.

He lowered his eyelids.

What kind of bullshit is this?

It was popular to present something to the commander-in-chief, but that didn’t mean it was right.

Thinking of Si Xu being travel-worn as he led a hundred thousand troops to pay respect to him, Lin Bozhou still respected him, and only the corners of his lips tightened.

He hadn’t even spoken. Another young man’s head poked out of the curtain.

A sweet, clean voice came.

“The things the prince asked this servant to deliver have arrived.”

After the announcement, Meng Huan barged in, his expression not so good, and relied on his remaining sanity to think about the identity disguise, his voice tight.

This was his random excuse. After finding a reason, he bowed and walked to an inconspicuous corner of the tent, passing the stage back to Lin Bozhou and Si Xu. He lowered his eyes, waiting to see what Lin Bozhou would play next.

Meng Huan knew Lin Bozhou did not mean to do it, and it was not Lin Bozhou’s intention, but to let the beauties into the tent, Meng Huan was very angry…… very angry…..

Think about it. Lin Bozhou refused to bring Meng Huan openly in case people knew that he adored his wife, so Meng Huan usually had to inform someone to meet him, sneaking around and being cautious.

–How could someone directly send beauty to him? Did they not respect himself as his wife?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Meng Huan pursed his teeth and glared at Lin Bozhou.

When Lin Bozhou saw him enter, he guessed what was on Meng Huan’s mind, saying to Si Xu with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “I don’t need them. Bring them down.”

When Lin Bozhou said he didn’t need them, he really meant it. In the past, some people offered him beautiful people, but he wasn’t married then, so he refused. He wouldn’t agree to this lascivious behavior now that he had Meng Huan.

But Si Xu did not realize that a catastrophe was approaching. Listening to Lin Bozhou’s tone, he thought he was faking to decline. “Your Highness, don’t worry. These beauties were not snatched from the road but from peasants with no fields who voluntarily sold their daughters and entrusted them to us. They are young and clean, and we didn’t let anyone touch them in the army.”

Lin Bozhou impatiently tutted, and his tone was much harsher. “This prince said no need. Bring them down.”

But this Si Xu still seemed as if he did not understand his words, speculating on his words, and said, “Order accepted. In that case, bring them down. His Highness does not like beauty, but they have been entrusted to the army by their parents. For pity’s sake, let them stay and wash clothes, serve tea, and rub the prince’s feet, okay?”

When Si Xu finished, he carefully looked at Lin Bozhou’s face.

Actually, he didn’t like to send beauties either.

But the Great Zong was corrupted no matter what, and so was the military camp. The Jianjun eunuchs were powerful and often made things difficult for the soldiers for money. Lin Bozhou was the boss of that group of eunuchs, so he inevitably mixed up Lin Bozhou with the others.

A scholar loved to save face. He feared being laughed at when he received a beauty in the military camp, so Si Xu thought of this method for Lin Bozhou.

Si Xu was very earnest to please.

Meng Huan looked at him for a while and was quite puzzled.

He barely had an impression of this Si Xu. He remembered that he was a powerful subordinate of Lin Bozhou’s army in the original book, but why did he look like a fawning henchman now?

Meng Huan couldn’t understand; his lips were slightly pursed, and he was puzzled.

The cup of wine in Lin Bozhou’s hand paused and fell on Si Xu’s head with a clang. He couldn’t hold back after enduring for a while. A gloomy, cold light flashed at the bottom of his eyes, and his eyebrows were tightly locked. “This prince heard that you are strict in governing the army, loved by the soldiers and generals in Yufu, and the army you trained is brave and has repeatedly made merits, so this prince is courteous to you. But now you–”

He suppressed his anger. “What’s in your head? All full of these flattering superiors and bullying inferiors?”

All this business of sending beauty to your boss and pleasing him.

He scolded to the point.

The first thing Lin Bozhou wanted to do in the barracks was to kill the moths that gave gifts and bribes. This Si Xu was ill-informed and sent gifts to fob Lin Bozhou off like handling other bosses.

Being spilled wine and scolded harshly.

Si Xu’s expression changed slightly, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly kneeled. “Your Highness, this general knows his mistake.”

Lin Bozhou originally wanted to invite him to a meal but raised his leg and kicked the table over. “Go back! Get some rest and reflect properly!”

Si Xu stood up, and his expression was much more relaxed. He wanted to run out quickly, but he remembered something and asked, “Then, Your Highness, what should we do with these girls?”

“Send them to the logistical women to help wash clothes and cook. After the battle, bring them back and let them leave if they want.” Lin Bozhou squinted at him. “Military discipline is strict. If anyone dares to sneak in and defile them, this prince will question you only.”

There were too many beasts in the barracks and too many uncontrollable things. In short, there was no need for these beauties to appear in the barracks, nor could they cause any trouble.

Si Xu clasped his fist. “Yes.”

After saying that, he led these girls away woefully as if they had not come.
