Chapter 172

And she had at least some connection with the Liu Han royal family.

If Dong Bai hadn't come to the door today to propose that Gu Yi wanted to take Fu Shou as a concubine.

I reckon Fu Shou would likely have married the direct descendant of some powerful aristocratic family.

Or, it was not impossible for her to enter the imperial palace.

After all.

The royal families of the two Han dynasties liked to find people who were related to be empresses, thinking that their own family members were more reliable.

Little did they know.

The frequent interference of relatives in politics during the two Han dynasties had a lot to do with this.

The relatives were too close to the throne.

The Emperor was young, and at the same time, he was the Empress Dowager’s own son.

How could the Empress Dowager’s maternal family not covet the throne?

Speaking of which, this root of disaster had been buried since Lu Zhi of the Western Han Dynasty.

The subsequent Empress Dowagers took Lu Zhi as their idol, hoping to become an Empress Dowager with power over the world like their idol.

However.

That was something that often happened when the Han Dynasty was strong before.

And now.

This broken ship of the Han Dynasty existed in name only.

Even the Emperor was not worth much; how much could the relatives and the Empress Dowager be worth?

Seeing Fu Wan fall into hesitation.

Dong Bai smiled:

"Grand Master of Palace Leisure, you cannot be ungrateful!"

"You must know, whose contribution it was that allowed you to be promoted several ranks!"

As the saying goes, courtesy first, then force.

If Dong Bai’s attitude just now was polite.

Then now, it could be completely called a hidden threat!

To deal with Fu Wan, there was no need for Old Dong and Gu Yi to take action.

Just relying on Dong Bai alone, she could easily handle him!

After all.

Dong Bai’s status and position were right here.

If Gu Yi were to become Emperor in the future, Dong Bai would directly be the Empress, the person who would mother the world in the future.

How could mere Fu Wan and Fu Shou compare?

Fu Wan was a very timid person to begin with.

At this moment, being scared by Dong Bai, he instantly lost his own opinion.

The next moment.

He sighed long and agreed to marry Fu Shou to Gu Yi as a concubine.

There was no way.

The situation was pressing.

Moreover, marrying Fu Shou to Gu Yi was not a bad thing.

If Gu Yi were to become Emperor in the future, Fu Shou could at least get a concubine position in the harem, right?

It was much better than marrying that coward Liu Xie.

Yes, in Fu Wan’s eyes, Liu Xie was an out-and-out coward!

Little did he know, the person who was truly called a coward in history was Fu Wan himself.

Just like that.

Dong Bai easily handled the matter of taking Fu Shou as a concubine.

Although Fu Shou had ten thousand unwillingness in her heart, she couldn't win against the situation.

Moreover, her father had already agreed to this marriage.

Even if Fu Shou opposed it, it would be of no avail.

Soon.

The time for Fu Shou to enter the residence arrived.

When she really saw Gu Yi, the unwillingness in her heart soon vanished.

Especially after witnessing Gu Yi’s powerful combat ability, Fu Shou was even more convinced.

After all, when it came to combat ability.

The only people who could surpass Gu Yi, who possessed a steel kidney, were the handsome readers who were reading this book!

After this operation by Dong Bai.

Gu Yi added two new concubines, Zou Wan and Fu Shou.

And at the same time.

Diaochan, Wu Mi, and Ma Yunlu also successively became pregnant under Gu Yi’s diligent cultivation.

In an instant, the number of concubines in the Gu residence who could fight decreased by three.

Dong Bai couldn't help but start looking for new concubine candidates for Gu Yi again.

Finally, she set her sights on the Captain Dong Cheng.

Yes, it was that Dong Cheng who came up with the belt edict.

In fact, Dong Cheng was not a loyal official of the Han Dynasty, but a distant relative of Old Dong.

Relying on nepotism, plus Dong Cheng’s abilities in all aspects were considered qualified.

Old Dong let him sit in the position of Captain and planned to promote him to a miscellaneous general in the near future.

Dong Cheng had a daughter named Dong Jun, who was the historical Noble Lady Dong who married Liu Xie, and was currently waiting to be married.

This time, Dong Bai didn't even need to go out in person; she just sent someone to tell Dong Cheng, and the latter automatically sent Dong Jun into the Gu residence.

Don't look at Dong Cheng reaching the rank of General of Chariots and Cavalry in history.

But his true rise, like Fu Wan, only started after Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the government.

During the period when Old Dong controlled the government, Dong Cheng was not a heavy official at all.

The most dazzling title on him was perhaps the identity of Old Dong’s distant relative.

Now.

If his daughter Dong Jun could marry Gu Yi.

Although it was only a concubine.

But for Dong Cheng.

It was already a quite good thing.

He naturally had no reason to refuse.

To be honest.

This Dong Jun was truly worthy of being the woman who was deeply doted on by Liu Xie in history.

Both her appearance and figure belonged to the top tier.

Among Gu Yi’s many concubines.

Except for Diaochan and Zou Wan, this Dong Jun had the highest beauty.

Furthermore, perhaps Dong Jun received hints from her father Dong Cheng.

After marrying Gu Yi, she served him in every possible way.

She soon established a firm foothold among the concubines.

Regarding this, Gu Yi didn't care.

Anyway, his harem was managed by Dong Bai, and even if these concubines formed small groups and competed in private, they would never be in chaos.

Moreover.

Healthy competition was also a good thing.

These concubines used all kinds of means to win Gu Yi’s favor.
