Third Sister's merit

page views:1 Publication date:2023-03-24

The Queen's aunt, having been tempted by bribes, recommended Xiao Yu to the Queen. Although unaware of Xiao Yu's plot to harm the Grand Marshal, this was still a grave offense, and she was sentenced by the Ministry of Justice to serve as a laborer in the palace for life. Originally, she was to receive forty strokes of the cane, but Third Sister pleaded for her to be spared; otherwise, those forty strokes would likely have killed her. The Queen originally intended to punish her uncle as well, but Third Sister and Zhu Wu intervened, saying he was truly unaware of the crime and should only be reprimanded, retaining his original position. If he committed another offense, he would be punished accordingly. The Queen's uncle, serving as a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel, was deeply grateful to the Grand Marshal for escaping punishment this time, and from then on became one of the most loyal people in the court to both the Queen and the Grand Marshal. Zhu Wu, Wang Jin, and others believed that the poisoning of the Grand Marshal was orchestrated by those in the court who opposed the Green Mountain Alliance. They suspected Prime Minister Zhu Jian, but lacked sufficient evidence to deal with him. San Niang then instructed Shi Qian to secretly investigate Zhu Jian and those closely associated with him. Finally, they apprehended Zhu Jian and his cronies—but that's a story for another time.

San Niang treated Lu Tiezhu even better, doting on him like her own son. She even invited Tiezhu's mother, Jin Cuilian, to the Grand Marshal's mansion to express her gratitude. Jin Cuilian said, "Master's wife, please don't say thank you. Tiezhu's companionship is a blessing he could never have accumulated in several lifetimes. I often tell him that I would rather lose my life than let Master's wife be safe." San Niang acted as matchmaker, arranging for Hua Rong's eldest daughter, Hua Yingchun, to marry Lu Tiezhu. Hua Rong and his wife also liked Tiezhu's honest and kind nature and agreed to the marriage. Jin Cuilian was overjoyed to see Hua Yingchun. Third Sister chose an auspicious day for Tie Zhu's wedding, and she provided all the betrothal gifts. Qiong Ying and Gu Dasao also helped with the arrangements, so his mother, Jin Cuilian, didn't have to worry about anything. Tie Zhu and Hua Yingchun's marriage was very harmonious. This was largely thanks to Tie Zhu's experience with intimacy after helping Third Sister detoxify, and Third Sister's private demonstrations and guidance before the wedding. Otherwise, someone as simple-minded as him probably wouldn't have grasped the intricacies so quickly. Tie Zhu continued to serve as the Grand Marshal's bodyguard captain and personal attendant. He was as filial to Third Sister as to his own mother, and sometimes Third Sister couldn't help but hug and kiss him, praising him.

Because of this experience, Third Sister paid special attention to the Queen's needs. She instructed Gu Dasao and Qiong Ying to select three hundred soldiers from the Imperial Guard who were of humble origins, handsome, and physically strong. These soldiers were to be trained in etiquette, speech, and behavior, and subjected to rigorous secret testing, primarily to assess their loyalty to the Queen and their ability to maintain secrecy. Then, a few would be selected each month to accompany the Queen. Unless the Queen requests that they be retained, those who had accompanied her will be sent elsewhere to be promoted to military officers. These men must keep this secret for life, or face the most severe punishment. Now the Queen will no longer be lonely in the palace due to the lack of men, and her gratitude towards San Niang grows daily.

Speaking of which, the Liao Dynasty also had imperial examinations, held every three years like the Song Dynasty, selecting one top scholar and several successful candidates. However, to maintain the Khitans' formidable military strength, successive Liao rulers prohibited Khitans from participating in the examinations, allowing only people of other ethnicities to take them. Therefore, many Han Chinese were among the civil officials. Many Khitans were dissatisfied with this, as many of their children disliked martial arts and loved literature. Passing the imperial examinations would not only bring honor to their families but also make it easier to become officials in the court. After the Queen ascended the throne, San Niang and Zhu Wu proposed abolishing the restriction prohibiting Khitans from participating in the imperial examinations, which won them widespread support. The Queen then decreed that all official documents, laws, and royal edicts be written in Chinese characters. Since many in the Liao Kingdom understood Chinese, and officials and nobles considered it an honor to compose poetry and prose in Chinese, no one objected to the Queen's decree.

This year marked the Queen's first major examination after ascending the throne, and the top scholar was named Yelü Wenjin, fifteen years old, fatherless, and born to a woman surnamed Sun. The examiners only knew that he was the son of Sun and Yelü, and that his father was deceased. Third Sister urgently needed talented and trustworthy scholars to serve in the court, so she instructed Zhu Wu to keep a close eye on him. Zhu Wu summoned Yelü Wenjin and, after examining him, discovered he was a true prodigy. He understood Chinese, Khitan, and Western Xia languages, was knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times, spoke eloquently, and had also studied military strategy and tactics with remarkable insight. However, he said he didn't know his own surname, having been raised by his mother alone since childhood. He explained that he needed a given name and surname to participate in the imperial examinations, hence the use of Yelü as his surname. When asked about his mother, Yelü Wenjin said her name was Sun Erniang, and that she had raised him with great difficulty, hoping he would achieve fame and bring glory to his ancestors. She also said that she would only tell him who his father was after he became a high-ranking official. Zhu Wu was shocked. Could he be the son of Sun Erniang, the female leader of Liangshan? He hurriedly invited Hu Sanniang, Gu Dasao, and Qiongying to come. When

Yelü Wenjin met the Grand Marshal Hu Sanniang, he was respectful and polite, speaking appropriately and neither servile nor arrogant. Sanniang, Qiongying, and Gu Dasao all liked Wenjin because of his handsome and refined appearance. Sanniang said, "We may be old friends with your mother. You can bring your mother to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to meet us. If she is indeed Sun Erniang, I can help you find out who your father is. As for officialdom, regardless of whether your mother is Sun Erniang or not, I will petition the Queen tomorrow to grant you an official position. You can go to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, or the Ministry of Revenue if you want." Yelü Wenjin was overjoyed and went back to fetch his mother. Upon arriving at the Marshal's Mansion, they were astonished to find none other than Sun Erniang. However, her clothes were filthy and tattered, her face sallow and thin, her hair disheveled, making her look like a beggar woman in her fifties. When San Niang, Qiong Ying, and Gu Dasao saw Sun Erniang, they tried to embrace her, but Sun Erniang kept backing away, feeling too dirty. San Niang said there was no need for reminiscing yet, and arranged for maids to give Sun Erniang a fragrant bath, comb her hair, and change her into brand-new clothes. Only then did Sun Erniang embrace everyone and weep bitterly, pulling her son to bow to her sisters. San Niang, Qiong Ying, and Gu Dasao, among others, were all in tears, hugging and kissing Xiao Wenjin repeatedly. San Niang then ordered a family banquet to be prepared, inviting Hua Rong and the other former leaders of Liangshan to reminisce together.

When Sun Erniang learned that her son had become the top scholar in the imperial examination, she was overjoyed. At the banquet, she told everyone, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm illiterate. This son of mine has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood. Most of his knowledge is self-taught. Later, he became famous far and wide, and nearby teachers vied to teach him for free. Even the county magistrate treated him with great respect."

Sanniang asked her, "Why does he have no surname? Who is his father?"

Sun Erniang hesitated for a long time, then blushed and answered, "His father is Wu Song."

This single sentence nearly made everyone in the room fall off their chairs in shock. Sun Erniang then began to explain the whole story in detail.

Sun Erniang said, “Ever since I met Brother Wu Song while selling human flesh buns at Shizipo, I have loved him and dreamed of him. However, I was already married to Zhang Qing, and Wu Song treated me with the kindness and respect of a sister-in-law. In addition, I am coarse and have no beauty, so I felt ashamed and had to keep my love hidden in my heart. Later, my husband Zhang Qing died in the war against Fang La, and Wu Song lost an arm and went to Liuhe Temple to become a monk. I voluntarily stayed in Hangzhou and lived next to Liuhe Temple to take care of Wu Song. Later, as I grew older, I wanted to find someone to marry and have a child of my own.” "I wanted to take care of him, but who would want someone like me?" Before I knew it, my mind had turned to Brother Wu Song. Unable to bring myself to do it, I hatched a wicked plan. I invited Wu Song over for drinks, laced his wine with aphrodisiacs, and took advantage of his drugging state to have sex with him. Wu Song left without a word, and I was so ashamed I wanted to disappear. I could never face him again. Later, when my son Wenjin was born, I swore that unless he became a high-ranking official, I would never tell him who his father was, lest it become public knowledge and bring shame upon Brother Wu Song."

Everyone who heard this was deeply moved. Yelü Wenjin then learned that his father was Wu Song, the tiger-slaying hero of Liangshan, and that his mother was the infamous and ruthless Sun Erniang. Third Sister then asked, "So how have you lived all these years? How have you raised this child?"

Second Sister Sun replied, "Besides killing, I have no other skills. In just a few years raising Wenjin, I've spent all my savings. To ensure this child learns a good life, I've refrained from doing anything harmful. I make a living by sewing and washing clothes for others. Only once, a rich young man bullied Wenjin, which angered me, and I struck him down, breaking his head. Whenever I'm penniless and desperate, kind people always give me five or ten taels of silver to help me through my difficulties. At first, I felt..." "Thank you, Bodhisattva and gods! Later I realized it must have been my brother Wu Song, the child's father, who secretly helped me. But I have no face to see him again in this lifetime."

Everyone stared at Wen Jin and said, "Although this child is quiet and gentle, his face does indeed bear some resemblance to Wu Song."

Qiong Ying said, "The name you gave Wen Jin is excellent; I like it very much."

Sun Erniang said, "Don't laugh at me, but how could I name someone? I thought his father was Wu Song, so I named him Wen Jin, which is easy to remember. Later, after he learned to read, he changed his name to Wen Jin himself."

San Niang, Qiong Ying, and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter, while Zhu Wu and Hua Rong also laughed so hard they couldn't stand up straight. San Niang pulled Wen Jin into her arms and said to Sun Er Niang, "You two will move into my Grand Marshal's Mansion today. Tomorrow I will report to the Queen and have him appointed as a Vice Minister in the Ministry of Revenue, to gain experience before being given a more important position."

Sun Er Niang said, "I'm sorry to trouble you so much."

San Niang said, "Not at all. Putting aside our sisterly bond, I urgently need someone like him. The Khitans have the most surnames Yelü and Xiao, so let's temporarily give this child the surname Yelü. We can change it later if we want."

From then on, Yelü Wen Jin worked in the Ministry of Revenue, and San Niang instructed Zhu Wu to give him guidance and instruction from time to time. Sun Er Niang had no worries about food and clothing in the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Since she had nothing to do, San Niang asked her to help train the female soldiers, teaching them some practical combat skills, and also to teach Shi Qian's men some methods of administering sleeping potions. Sun Erniang finally felt triumphant, and even seemed younger. She was deeply grateful to Grand Marshal Hu Sanniang.

Chai Chengzong sent back a letter saying that the Song Emperor intended to marry Princess Mingyue, the Empress's biological daughter, to Yelü Sen, the son of the Liao Queen. However, the Emperor and Empress wanted Yelü Sen, also known as Lin Wudi, to come to the Song Kingdom to marry Princess Mingyue, after which the couple would return to the Liao Kingdom. Sanniang and Zhu Wu considered the matter carefully and decided that there was little risk involved, so they decided to send Wudi. Qiongying, who had previously escorted Lin Wushuang to Shuozhou for her wedding, volunteered again to escort Wudi to the Song Kingdom, and Sanniang agreed. Before parting, San Niang summoned Wudi to the Grand Marshal's mansion, embraced him, and instructed him, "When you go this time, you must make it clear to the Song Emperor that our Liao Kingdom has absolutely no intention of invading the Song Kingdom. There may be many in the Song court who are dissatisfied with our alliance, so you must be careful in dealing with them."

Wudi replied, "Your son will remember your instructions, Mother." Mother and son parted with tears in their eyes. Wudi then came to bid farewell to the Queen, who was reluctant to part and held him in her arms, weeping bitterly. Wudi and Qiongying, escorted by two hundred imperial guards, set off south for Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Kingdom.

That evening, after Wudi left, San Niang came to the palace to keep the Queen company. After they had dinner together, the Queen allowed San Niang to stay in the palace. The two lay in bed chatting about interesting things, and later they took off their clothes, embracing and kissing each other, just as they always did. Later, the Queen, touching San Niang's breasts, whispered to her, "Sister, do you remember you once told me: 'What's yours is mine'? So I unceremoniously brought your son to be my son. I want to tell you, sister, what's mine is yours too. Whatever you want, sister, I'll give you; even the throne of Queenhood."

San Niang kissed the Queen's chest and said, "Sister, I only want you now." She then caressed the Queen's naked body with both hands. The Queen, panting, opened her mouth and sucked on San Niang's red nipple, causing San Niang to moan loudly.

Finally, the Queen clapped her hands, and six handsome young men, all naked, entered. They were all carefully selected by Gu Dasao Qiongying. The Queen said to San Niang, "These men were chosen for me by you, sister. Now I'll have them serve you."

She then said to the others, "You will all serve the Grand Marshal. If you please her, I will reward you handsomely."

San Niang blushed deeply and buried her head in the Queen's arms. The six young men were astonished by the stunning beauty of the Third Sister, especially since she was the Grand Marshal who held the power of life and death. Several of them first bathed her, helping her stand in a wooden tub. Two of them poured warm water over her from above, while the other four licked her entire body. The Third Sister closed her eyes, biting her lip, her face flushed, her body trembling slightly.

After the bath, they took turns licking her genitals, while the others gently kneaded her body. After several repetitions, they began to use their penises to penetrate her. The Third Sister cried out loudly, her body convulsing uncontrollably. The Queen watched from the side, clapping and laughing with delight…

Lin Wudi felt immense respect for his mother. It was truly remarkable that she had led her subordinates to build the foundation they had achieved, a feat that would put any man in the world to shame. His younger sister, Wushuang, also held a prominent position in Shuozhou for their mother and the Liao Kingdom, and Wudi admired her greatly as well. The brother and sister were twins, growing up together until their third mother sent them away to study under different masters. Wudi acted as the elder brother to Wushuang, wanting to protect his sister, while Wushuang doted on him like a younger brother; their relationship was extremely close. Now, Wushuang had blossomed into a stunning beauty like her mother, and Wudi was a handsome and dashing young man. He longed to share his mother's burdens and help her achieve her great ambitions, just like Wushuang. He also deeply admired Aunt Qiongying, feeling that marrying a wife like her would make his life complete. However, he was keenly aware of his responsibilities; for his mother's sake, he wouldn't hesitate to marry even an ugly woman.

Lin Wudi and Qiongying arrived in Kaifeng, where they received a grand welcome and hospitality from high-ranking officials. They knew that although he wasn't currently the crown prince, the queen only had one son, and it was only a matter of time before he was made crown prince. The next day, Grand Tutor Cai hosted a banquet for the Liao prince, inviting civil and military officials and nobles to attend. Qiongying, disguised as a personal attendant and accompanied by several guards, followed behind Wudi. The Liao envoy, Chai Chengzong, was also invited. At this time, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji had abdicated in favor of his son Zhao Huan. Princess Mingyue, the beloved daughter of Zhao Huan and the Empress, was still reluctant to marry off her at eighteen. From a young age, she studied poetry, literature, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting under renowned teachers, and also practiced martial arts. The Empress had skilled swordsmen among the guards teach her exquisite swordsmanship, and she often personally performed sword dances at palace banquets, winning thunderous applause. On this day, with the Emperor and Empress's permission, she disguised herself as a young scholar to attend the banquet welcoming the Liao prince.

At the banquet, Cai Jing showered the Queen with compliments, and Wudi also gave a speech praising the Song emperor's benevolence and expressing humility. After several rounds of drinks, the guests began to engage in lively conversation. A young scholar stood up and asked the prince, "My name is Huang Jiaren. May I ask Your Highness, when will your Liao Kingdom return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun to my Song Kingdom?" This man was Princess Mingyue. This question astonished everyone present. Cai Jing didn't recognize Huang Jiaren, assuming he was a descendant of a powerful court official or nobleman, and he was eager to see how the Liao prince would answer. Wudi countered, "Could this young master Huang tell me in what year and month did my Liao Kingdom seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun from the Song Kingdom?"

Princess Mingyue was speechless, her face turning bright red. It turned out that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun had been ceded to the Liao Kingdom by the previous dynasty's emperor long before the Song Dynasty was established. How could Princess Mingyue possibly answer such a question? Wudi continued, "Our Liao and Song dynasties have a long history of constant warfare, with victories and defeats on both sides. Since the Queen ascended the throne, she has never launched a single invasion of the Song. Instead, your country, in alliance with the Jin, launched a pincer attack, attempting to seize my Shuozhou and even killing my imperial son-in-law, General Xiao Wanzhong. Have I said anything wrong?" Princess Mingyue was speechless, and the other civil and military officials were at a loss for words. Cai Jing quickly raised his cup to offer a toast, attempting to cover up the embarrassment. Qiongying and Chai Chengzong inwardly praised Wudi's wit.

Princess Mingyue, accustomed to her domineering ways, was unwilling to admit defeat. Unable to use words, she decided to try martial arts, and challenged Wudi again: "I have long heard that all men in Liao Kingdom practice martial arts from a young age. Prince, could you demonstrate the martial arts of Liao Kingdom so that we may broaden our horizons?"

Wudi replied, "Young master must be a person of great martial arts skill. Why don't you give me a lesson first?"

Princess Mingyue was about to show off her martial arts skills and make up for the embarrassment earlier, so she said, "Then I will make a fool of myself."

She took the sword handed to her by the servant and practiced it on the open space in front of the table. She slashed, thrust, and parried, the cold light flashing. She rolled and leaped, advancing and retreating freely. The sword light shone in the sun, with a slight rainbow color. The green blade rang out, containing a faint sound of thunder. For a moment, the whole hall cheered. Lin Wudi also nodded in approval.

Princess Mingyue looked at Wudi and said, "Please, Your Highness, come down and spar with me, Huang Jiaren, how about it?"

Cai Jing shouted, "Don't be disrespectful to the prince!"

Wudi, seeing her sword-wielding posture, guessed that she was a woman disguised as a man. Looking at the precious sword in her hand, he knew who she was. Her name, "Huang Jiaren," sounded like "royal person" or "royal beauty." The Liao Kingdom had already heard that Princess Mingyue was skilled in swordsmanship, so Wudi was certain this person was Princess Mingyue. He was about to spar with her when Aunt Qiongying stopped him. Qiongying was a general who had rendered great service in the campaign against Tian Hu and Wang Qing. More than ten years had passed, and no one expected that she had gone to the Liao Kingdom and was now in the capital with the Liao prince. Disguised as a prince's attendant, no one would recognize her.

Qiongying drew her sword and said to Huang Jiaren, "I am a prince's attendant. If you want to spar with the prince, you must first get past me."

Princess Mingyue said, "I will spar with the prince myself. Why are you, woman, stopping me?"

Qiongying said, "I would never stop a man."

This single sentence revealed Princess Mingyue's true identity as a woman, making her blush with shame. By this time, everyone had realized Huang Jiaren was a woman, and seeing Qiongying's stunning beauty, their excitement grew even higher. Some cheered, others laughed loudly. Princess Mingyue, enraged and ashamed, thrust her sword at Qiongying, wishing she could pierce her through. Qiongying parried. The two exchanged blows, locked in fierce combat. Qiongying wielded a halberd; her swordsmanship was less refined, but she was a seasoned warrior, far superior to Princess Mingyue. Chen Liqing and Zhu Yongqing watched from the crowd. Zhu Yongqing, not fully understanding the situation, asked his wife, "Wife, what do you think of the outcome?"

Liqing replied, "This woman must be a warrior, having killed many. Huang Jiaren will surely be defeated in the short term."

Princess Mingyue grew increasingly astonished as the battle progressed. Qiongying completely ignored her exquisite swordplay, attacking only when she was forced to defend, leaving Princess Mingyue flustered and disorganized. Soon, she was exhausted and on the verge of defeat when Qiongying stopped wielding her sword and simply looked at her. Princess Mingyue blushed deeply, said "I have lost," and turned to leave.

Back in the palace, Princess Mingyue recounted the events of the banquet to her parents, pleading with her father to avenge her. The Emperor laughed heartily, saying, "This Liao prince is your husband. The more outstanding he is, the more capable his subordinates he has. Shouldn't you be even happier?" The Empress also embraced her daughter and laughed, making Princess Mingyue blush even more.

That evening, Qiongying called Lin Wudi to her room, took his hand, and said, "Child, I'm truly happy for your mother after seeing what you did today. But Princess Mingyue is pampered in the palace; I'm afraid you won't be able to tame her for long."

Wudi replied, "Auntie is right. I've never been intimate with a man, and I know very little about women. I don't know how to be alone with her, especially a royal princess like her."

Qiongying said, "No matter her noble birth, you must be confident and not lose your manly spirit; only then will she respect you."

Wudi asked, "How exactly can I demonstrate manly spirit?"

Qiongying said, "This is difficult to explain in words; you must gradually accumulate experience. Also, you must learn about matters between men and women. Alright, your mother and I are sworn sisters; I'll swallow my pride and teach you about such matters today." With

that, she began to undress. Lin Wudi looked at the beautiful, mature woman before him, his heart pounding. He had long harbored feelings for Qiongying, but restrained himself from expressing them because she was an elder and the mother of his elder brother Zhang Jie.

Qiongying removed Wudi's clothes, pulled him to her chest, and kissed him. Lin Wudi, inhaling Qiongying's fragrance, felt a surge of heat throughout his body and couldn't help but roar as he pulled Qiongying onto the bed. Seeing that Wudi's manhood was already erect, Qiongying opened her legs to welcome it, letting it enter her body while moaning softly.

Guided by Qiongying's hands, Wudi kissed her neck and breasts incessantly, his lower body thrusting violently, soon bringing Qiongying to a state of overflowing lust…

The next day, Liao's imperial envoy, Chai Chengzong, accompanied the prince to the palace to see the emperor. Before reaching the main hall, they first bowed to the emperor and empress seated above, presenting the many betrothal gifts the queen had sent on his behalf. The emperor instructed the eunuchs to accept them and asked the prince to convey his regards to the queen. The empress called Wudi to her side, took his hand, and asked him many questions, showing great satisfaction with this son-in-law. The Emperor inquired about important matters between the two countries. The prince relayed the message from the Grand Marshal of Liao, stating that Liao would never provoke conflict first, nor did it intend to invade Song. The Emperor smiled and nodded in approval, instructing the prince to thank the Grand Marshal upon his return. Shortly after, the prince bowed and took his leave, departing from the palace. At this time, a civil official reported that Liao's ambitions were consistently wolfish and could not be trusted. A military official then reported that Liao had lost the martial arts competition at the Grand Tutor's banquet yesterday and that another martial arts tournament should be held, with a master challenging the Liao prince. The Emperor, also wanting to know the Liao prince's true abilities, ordered Grand Commandant Gao to make arrangements, but stipulated that the prince must not be harmed in the slightest. Grand Commandant Gao replied, "Your subject obeys."

Grand Commandant Gao returned to his residence, troubled, unsure how to handle the matter. He recalled that Gao Yanei seemed to have improved considerably in his conduct recently, so he summoned him to discuss the matter. Gao Yanei said, "General Chen Liqing is highly skilled in martial arts. Sending her will surely enhance our national prestige."

Grand Commandant Gao asked, "How can we ensure that the prince is not harmed in the slightest?"

Yanei replied, "I will invite Chen Liqing here to discuss a plan that will surely satisfy Father." The Grand Commandant agreed, and Yanei took his leave.

Gao Yanei only wanted to rekindle his romance with Chen Liqing. He sat in the room for a while, pondering, and then ordered someone to fetch Chen Liqing. After Liqing entered, Gao Yanei pretended to be mysterious and said to her, "A few days ago, someone reported that Zhao Tan, an officer under the former Privy Councilor, had gone missing. Also, someone found a body in a river in the capital; it was strangled and thrown into the river." Liqing chuckled and said, "Young Master, you're trying to seduce me in all sorts of ways, but you can't even come up with a decent excuse. As far as I know, Zhao Tan has been dismissed from his military post and is now free. He doesn't need to report to his superiors where he goes. Who can say he's missing? The capital has a population of over a million; every year, twenty or thirty people die in the river. What does that have to do with Zhao Tan? You know I don't get along with Zhao Tan, and you think you can blackmail me with that?" Gao Yanei was captivated by Liqing's smile and quickly said, "What you say is true, Miss. I shouldn't have kept trying to seduce you. I really..." "It's like a toad lusting after a swan. You don't know, but once a toad has tasted swan meat, it always longs for another, and can never forget it. Since there's been little war lately, and you haven't come to me for help, I've resorted to this desperate measure."

Liqing no longer disliked Gao Yanei; his words had stirred her desire, and she said, "I'd gladly let you have your way, but what will you give me in return?"

Gao Yanei said, "I can find an opportunity for you to compete in martial arts with that Khitan prince. If you win, you'll be renowned in both the Song and Liao dynasties, and naturally, you'll be indispensable in the next war."

Liqing said, "I'm currently short of money. Regardless of victory or defeat, you must give me a thousand taels of silver as a token of my concern."

Yanei said, "That's fine." He then went into the inner room and took out one hundred taels of gleaming gold ingots, equivalent to a thousand taels of silver, and handed them to Liqing. Gao Yanei then said, "The Emperor ordered that not a single hair on this Khitan prince be harmed. How can we have a

martial arts contest like this?" Liqing replied, "That's easy. When we're fighting on horseback, remove the spear tips, wrap the mace head in felt, and then dip it in lime. The one with the least lime on their body after the contest wins. If we're competing in archery, we can shoot at a target or a live animal."

Yanei went to close the door and said to Liqing, "Let's try something new today. Don't ask yet, you'll find out soon enough." As he spoke, he began to undress Liqing, who allowed him to strip her naked. There were two upright wooden pillars in the room. Gao Yanei took some rope and had Liqing stretch out her arms and tie them tightly to the two pillars. He also had her stretch out her legs and tie them as well. Now Liqing was standing naked, unable to move her hands or feet. Gao Yanei then tickled Liqing's armpits with his fingers. Liqing was extremely ticklish, and this tickling made her writhe violently, screaming for him to stop, but her hands and feet were bound and she couldn't move. Gao Yanei then tickled her thighs, buttocks, groin, and chest, even lifting her feet to tickle the soles. Liqing struggled fiercely, screaming and shouting until she was hoarse, but Gao Yanei remained unmoved.

Liqing pleaded with him, "Just whip me, and I'll let you fuck me whenever you want."

Gao Yanei said, "You said it yourself." He took a horsewhip and lashed Liqing's buttocks, breasts, and groin. Liqing felt much better this way and began to moan softly. Later, Gao Yanei untied the ropes binding Liqing. Liqing leaped up and pounced on him. Gao Yanei screamed "Oh my god!" fearing Liqing would beat him severely. But instead, Liqing embraced him and kissed him, repeatedly calling him "my darling," and reached out to rub his crotch…

An hour later, Gao Yanei crawled out from under Liqing. After having sex with him, Liqing fell asleep.

That night, Lin Wudi couldn't sleep in his inn bed, his mind filled with Qiongying's fair and mature body. He got up to find Qiongying. Qiongying opened the door, stared into his eyes, and before Lin Wudi could even call out "Aunt Qiongying," she silenced him with a kiss. Qiongying was wrapped in a blanket, clearly having just gotten out of bed. Wudi smelled her intoxicating fragrance again. Qiongying told him to take off his clothes, then pulled the blanket around him and wrapped him up as well. Yelü Sen then discovered that Qiong Ying's body was completely naked in the bedchamber...

The next day, Grand Commandant Gao invited the Liao prince to watch the Imperial Guards' drills, along with civil and military officials and envoys from various countries in the capital. Princess Mingyue, disguised as a man, mingled among the audience. She was resentful of her loss to Qiongying the day before; not because she resented Qiongying, but because she resented the prince. Who knew if he was just a useless show-off hiding behind women? She admired Qiongying; her martial arts were superior, and she was more beautiful. Despite being a princess, she felt a pang of jealousy towards Qiongying, a woman whose age was hard to guess. She knew that General Chen Liqing would challenge the prince today, and she wanted to see just how skilled her future husband truly was. She knew of General Chen Liqing's reputation; she had earned her title through real combat, fighting her way up among men. If the Liao prince was humiliated in front of General Chen Liqing, she would not marry him. She had been spoiled since childhood, and neither her father nor mother could change her mind. In truth, she didn't know whether she wanted the prince to win or lose.

At this moment, the Emperor and Empress's imperial carriage arrived. After the Emperor and Empress were seated, all the officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!" The Emperor told the officials to dispense with the formalities. Wudi also bowed to the Emperor, who smiled and nodded. Grand Commandant Gao signaled that the drills could begin. The Imperial Guards first demonstrated their marching and formation, which were very neat and impressive, and their equipment was excellent. Lin Wudi felt that what was lacking was a fierce aura, no wonder the Song Dynasty army could not defeat the Liao, Western Xia, and Jin dynasties. Later, more than a dozen generals took turns demonstrating their weapons on horseback. Wudi thought three of them were very skilled, especially the last female general, who wielded her halberd with great momentum. After demonstrating her halberd skills, the female general rode her horse towards the stands. She was naturally Chen Liqing. According to Gao Yanei's arrangement, she would first bow to the Emperor and then publicly invite the Liao prince to come down and spar with him.

Wudi hadn't seen Liqing's face clearly before, but now he realized that this female general was exceptionally beautiful. He was moved and felt that this was the kind of woman he should marry. Princess Mingyue was merely of noble birth; in terms of both appearance and martial arts, she was no match for the female general before him. She knelt before the Emperor and bowed, then said, "This humble general, Chen Liqing, has heard that Your Majesty intends to marry Princess Mingyue to the Prince of Liao, a momentous occasion for both nations. I have long admired the Prince's exceptional talent in both literature and martial arts, and would like to invite him to spar with me, to demonstrate Your Majesty's virtue and the Prince's brilliance." Wudi, upon hearing this, was startled: "So she is Chen Liqing, the female general who shot and killed my brother-in-law, Xiao Wanzhong!" Just now, Wudi had felt a flicker of affection for Liqing, but now knowing it was impossible, his heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. Standing beside Wudi, Qiongying seemed to read his mind, taking his hand and squeezing it, seemingly to comfort him. This gesture was noticed by Princess Mingyue, who was watching Wudi, and a surge of jealousy rose within her.

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, a voice called out, "Wait!" A burly man stepped out from the crowd, followed by a large group of people dressed in Western Xia attire. He said, "I am Li Renyi, the third prince of Western Xia, who has come to Song to seek Princess Mingyue's hand in marriage. I wish to challenge the Liao prince to a martial arts contest, and I humbly request Your Majesty's permission." The Emperor and the high-ranking officials present were all taken aback. Grand Commandant Gao recognized the man behind the burly man as the Western Xia envoy to Song and reported the matter to the Emperor. The Emperor was undecided and asked Grand Tutor Cai. Cai Jing replied, "If the Liao prince is willing, he may spar with him, but the marriage of Princess Mingyue should not be decided by the outcome of the contest." The Emperor nodded and issued an edict: Princess Mingyue's marriage is not to be discussed here. If the Liao prince is willing, he may spar with the Western Xia prince.

By doing this, the Song Emperor would not offend either Liao or Xia. If Wudi won the contest, Western Xia would have no further objections. If he dared not compete or lost, then they could discuss it again. But Wudi had no choice; he couldn't lose face for the Liao Kingdom in front of the Song emperor and his ministers. He stepped forward and said to the Western Xia prince, Li Renyi, "How would you like to compete?"

Li Renyi replied, "Wrestling, weapons, and archery—choose whatever you like." Wudi looked at Li Renyi; he was nine feet tall, broad-shouldered, with a full chest of black hair, and walked with a powerful gait—surely a wrestling expert. He thought, "If I can defeat him, he'll be convinced of my superiority." So he said to him, "Then let's wrestle." Li Renyi was overjoyed, thinking, "This Liao prince looks quite handsome, but he's a fool; he insists on wrestling with me instead of competing in other events." Grand Commandant Gao himself knew wrestling; he had fought Yan Qing after being captured and taken to Liangshan. He ordered his soldiers to spread a thick carpet on the ground in front of the platform and invited the two princes to compete.

The two men stripped naked from the waist up and began to fight, drawing a large crowd of onlookers, including Princess Mingyue and Qiongying, who held their breath as they watched. Li Renyi, the top wrestler in the Western Xia Kingdom, was confident of victory against Wudi, who was not as strong as him. After a few exchanges, Li Renyi repeatedly grabbed Lin Wudi's arms or waist, intending to throw him to the ground, but Wudi somehow managed to break free each time. In the Song Dynasty, wrestling had no restrictions except for the prohibition of weapons and hidden weapons. Wudi had learned the eighteen martial arts from Lin Chong since childhood and later studied under his master Hua Rong, often sparring with many people taller and stronger than him. He was intelligent, eager to learn, and with the guidance of his father and master, he had mastered many ingenious methods for dealing with tall opponents. Seeing that he couldn't throw Wudi, Li Renyi became impatient and opened his arms to grab Wudi, inevitably exposing his chest. Seizing the opportunity, Wudi delivered a powerful punch to Li Renyi's chest. The blow seemed to carry immense force, causing Li Renyi's blood to surge and his vision to blur. Wudi followed up with a sweeping kick to Li Renyi's knee, forcing him to his knees. Thunderous cheers erupted from the crowd.

Although Li Renyi had lost, he was unharmed. He stood up, bowed to Wudi, and said, "Brother Yelü, your skills are impressive. I have lost." Wudi, thinking that this was indeed a forthright man, said, "You won by chance, nothing to boast about. Brother Li, you may choose one of the archery skills, and we can compete again."

Li Renyi replied, "I wish to compete with Brother Yelü in archery, but only as a friendly exchange. I dare not contend with you for victory." Seeing Li Renyi's forthrightness, the crowd cheered loudly. Grand Commandant Gao ordered the two to stand back to back, and had soldiers place ten targets each one hundred paces in front of them. Wudi and Li Renyi simultaneously began shooting at the ten targets in front of them. Li Renyi drew his bow and fired ten arrows in quick succession, all hitting the bullseye. He was delighted, but didn't hear the cheers of the crowd. Turning around, he saw that Wudi had also hit the bullseye with all ten arrows. Looking closer, he saw that Wudi's eyes were covered with a cloth. He had actually hit the bullseye blindfolded! Everyone was stunned, forgetting to cheer. Only when Wudi removed the blindfold did thunderous cheers erupt. Princess Mingyue, disregarding her dignity, jumped up and shouted her approval. Chen Liqing's eyes also gleamed with a strange light as she looked at Wudi. Only Qiongying smiled; the result of the archery contest was entirely within her expectations. The Emperor and Empress were pleased and ordered the eunuchs to bestow a tray of gold and silver jewels upon Wudi, who knelt in gratitude. The Emperor decreed that the wedding of the Liao prince and Princess Mingyue would be held three days later.

The wedding was held in a former royal residence in Kaifeng Prefecture, which the Emperor had already bestowed upon the Liao prince. That evening, officials, nobles, wealthy merchants, celebrities, and envoys from various countries came to offer their congratulations. Lin Wudi, thoroughly drunk, was helped into the bridal chamber by Qiongying. Wudi touched Princess Mingyue's body and reached out to undress her. Princess Mingyue, who had secretly fallen for Wudi after their martial arts contest, blushed and her heart pounded with embarrassment. Soon, he stripped her naked. Wudi himself also stripped naked, embracing Princess Mingyue and kissing and caressing her. One moment he felt he was holding Aunt Qiongying, the next he felt as if he were holding Chen Liqing, and he was filled with lust.

He thrust into her with fervor, driving Princess Mingyue to the brink of ecstasy… The next morning, Wudi opened his eyes to find two women: Princess Mingyue and Aunt Qiongying. It turned out that Qiongying, worried about Wudi, had stayed behind after helping him into the bridal chamber to care for the two of them. During Wudi and Princess Mingyue's passionate night, no one noticed the other person in the room. Princess Mingyue woke up first in the morning and saw Qiongying. Although she didn't know Qiongying's identity, she was certain she was close to Wudi. Now, she was wholeheartedly devoted to Wudi and no longer minded Qiongying. Qiongying herself didn't explain.

After Wudi woke up, Mingyue came and nestled in his arms. Wudi felt it was time to show his manly spirit, so he pulled Qiongying close and told Princess Mingyue that this was Aunt Qiongying, one of the loves of his life, and that Princess Mingyue should respect her from now on and not be disrespectful in any way. Princess Mingyue obediently knelt down and bowed to Qiongying. She knew that the Liao Kingdom was very different from the Song Kingdom, with less distinction between superiors and inferiors, and that as a princess of the Song Kingdom, she had to obey her husband. Qiongying quickly helped Princess Mingyue up from the ground.

Looking at the two women before him, Wudi's virility surged again. He stripped them both naked, making them kiss and caress each other, while he took turns fucking them. A sliver of unsatisfaction lingered in his heart: how wonderful it would be to fuck Chen Liqing too…
