Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 600: This is my dedication!
Hua Man can break the gossip in the military camp by herself, but the attitude of Mrs. Xing Daorong and others will ultimately have to be faced by our general himself.

However, when the news of His Majesty's marriage granting reached the backyard, Ma Yunlu was drinking tea in the pavilion with Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao.

Upon hearing that Xing Daorong was going to marry Hua Man as his concubine, the three of them had different expressions and the atmosphere became a little stagnant for a moment.

Ma Yunlu put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and said with a bit of displeasure in his tone: "Xing Daorong is so lucky to marry a woman like Hua Man. It's just that we were too kind to that barbarian girl last time she came to our house."

Although she did not say it explicitly, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words, as if she had some complaints about His Majesty's decision to grant her the marriage.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yufeng chuckled, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "The general is in such a high position now, so naturally many people covet him."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her tone was calm, but every word was piercing: "I just don't know why Your Majesty would let a barbarian girl join us. Is there something wrong with the general?"

Fan Yufeng's thoughts were similar to those in the barracks. They all thought that Xing Daorong had committed a crime and was being punished by Liu Bei.

Da Qiao sat aside, her expression gentle, but a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She whispered, "Other things are not important, but why did the general not return home for so long, but His Majesty's order arrived first!"

She paused, her voice as soft as water, and sighed again: "Your Majesty has issued the order. No matter what we think, the matter is already settled. The matter in the backyard is a bit complicated after all. I hope we can live in harmony in the future and not cause any trouble."

Ma Yunlu snorted coldly, stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion and looked at the sky in the distance, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "Peace? I don't think so."

"Hua Man is a person of that temperament. How can she be willing to be inferior to others? If she dares to act recklessly, even if the general protects her, I can't just ignore it!"

Fan Yufeng nodded in agreement, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "That's right, let's wait and see, the excitement in the backyard is probably just beginning."

Da Qiao sighed softly, lowered her head and stroked her sleeves, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "I hope everything goes well. But things in this world are always difficult to go as we wish."

The three of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the pavilion became increasingly depressing.

The aroma of tea wafted in the air, but it couldn't hide the unhappiness and hidden worries in their hearts.

Just as we were talking about Xing Daorong, Xing Daorong arrived!

However, the three women were all worried, but Xing Daorong's hearty laughter came from outside the door.

Regardless of whether they were worried or dissatisfied, upon hearing Xing Daorong's voice, the three women immediately stood up to greet him.

Xing Daorong glanced at the ladies, bowed slightly, and said in a calm and respectful tone: "Ladies, I have something to report today. Your Majesty's gift of a wedding garland is indeed a well-thought-out move."

"Now that the country has just been settled, the people are suffering. We must not create any more disputes. Your Majesty's move is intended to turn hostility into friendship through marriage, promote the unification of the barbarians and the Han people, and stabilize the border."

Xing Daorong immediately exaggerated the situation and raised the issue to a higher level.

Sure enough... it confused several people.

Xing Daorong paused, and seeing that the ladies had different expressions, he continued, "Hua Man is a noble lady of the barbarian tribe, and her status is noble. If she can marry into our dynasty, it will not only ease the conflict between the two sides, but also take this opportunity to encourage the various tribes of the barbarians to submit and work together for peace."

"This move is not only for your majesty's wish, but also for the benefit of the people of the world. I hope you ladies will understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Upon hearing this, the ladies looked at each other.

Although he still had doubts in his heart, he was also frightened by Xing Daorong's aura.

In the end, only Ma Yunlu sighed and said, "Since my husband has said so, I have nothing to say."

Xing Daorong saw that although the ladies still looked worried, the hurdle was finally overcome.

He held them one in each hand and said, "Let's go, let's go... I'm hungry, do you have any food ready?"

After walking only two steps, Fan Yufeng sighed softly, clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and had a bit of sadness between her brows that was hard to dissipate. Xing Daorong saw why Fan Yufeng was so sad, so he asked: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Is it because of the matter of the flower garland that you are really worried about?"

Fan Yufeng shook her head, turned her head and whispered to Xing Daorong, "My husband, time flies, and in the blink of an eye I am no longer young. My face is getting older, and I can't help feeling a little uneasy."

Da Qiao, who was standing beside him, also heard it, and also looked sad. She stroked her temples gently and whispered, "Sister is right. As the days go by, I always feel empty inside, as if I can't grasp anything."

Xing Daorong laughed loudly when he heard this, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Why do you two ladies bother yourselves? Although time is ruthless, it cannot take away your charm."

"Besides, the wisdom and bearing of the ladies are not comparable to those when they were young."

"Speaking of the matter of the garland, if it were five years ago, I would not have dared to explain it clearly to the ladies."

"It is only because ladies are so wise nowadays that I dare to explain it clearly."

Xing Daorong was climbing up the pole, and mentioned the matter of the garland at the same time.

But I can only say this briefly, otherwise it would seem too fake if I keep saying it.

He immediately changed the subject and continued, "The ladies have worked hard for the family and the country for many years, and have made outstanding contributions. They have long surpassed the constraints of age."

"Now is your most mature and stable time. Why should you be trapped by the years? It is better to greet every day of the future with a calm attitude!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao's expressions gradually relaxed. They looked at each other, with a hint of relief in their eyes.

Fan Yufeng said softly: "General, what you said is very true, but we are too persistent."

Da Qiao also nodded and smiled.

This made Ma Yunlu next to him unable to bear it anymore.

But she said: "General, your words are powerful. What you said... even I think there is some truth in it!"

When Xing Daorong saw that his wife seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the matter of Hua Man, he thought it would be better to let the two of them have a fight like they did in the military camp.

However, this was just thought. For the sake of harmony in the harem, Xing Daorong could only waste more time on talking.

But he said solemnly: "In order for the barbarians and the Han people to be united, they must be united culturally. But how can culture and blood be separated?"

"It's just that you all are so opposed to the Barbarian Girl coming here, let alone ordinary people."

"It is harder than climbing to the sky to get them to accept the barbarians, so naturally people have to set an example."

"That's why His Majesty asked me to be a role model."

Ma Yunlu listened and said, "So, my husband has made a contribution?"

Xing Daorong waved his hand and said, "Hey! I don't need to make sacrifices, as long as the ladies can understand these principles and don't embarrass me!"

Having said that, Ma Yunlu had nothing more to say and could only nod dejectedly.

Xing Daorong finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

in this way…

The situation in my harem has been settled.
