After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

The character of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty was complicated. On the one hand, he enjoyed watching his sons fighting each other, but on the other hand, he could not bear to see them killing each other. Sometimes he valued capable ministers, and sometimes he was suspicious of powerful ministers.

A long time ago, Ke Xin had figured out this awkward quirk of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, which was why he had not taken the lead for a long time. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have been known as the "young general".

Ke Xin couldn't gamble on the emperor's trust, so he had to hold the balance. He exposed his abilities to Emperor Mingwu, waiting to see when he would use him. Of course, he was not afraid that Emperor Mingwu would not use him, because there would always be a day when the princes would use him. He was just waiting for Emperor Mingwu to use him. Now that Emperor Mingwu had used him and sent him to a high position, he would not do anything high-profile next time.

Just as he said, the main purpose of the Northern Barbarian envoys was to send a princess for marriage. He was just a prince of a prefecture and there was no need for him to get involved in this mess.

Ke Xin said this at the beginning to make his position clear, but Emperor Mingwu did not let him go home. He did not know what Emperor Mingwu was thinking at the time, but he had a plan to appease Emperor Mingwu.

That is, if you have a bond in your heart, you will see it as a weakness. Once a person has a weakness, it means that he will be blocked in many cases. As long as you care about someone, you will definitely give in for that person.

At that time, in the Golden Palace, facing the emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, my wife accidentally caught a cold last night. I am worried about her health and I really don't want her to be alone in the mansion."

The way he addressed himself had changed from "Uncle Emperor" to "Your Majesty", which showed his seriousness and earnestness.

Emperor Mingwu looked at him carefully for a moment, finally nodded, and then smiled with relief: "It's rare that Xingchen also has someone to care about. In the blink of an eye, Xingchen has grown so big. It seems that I am getting old."

Ke Xin did not dare to agree with the latter sentence at all, and only said that the emperor was still young and strong.

[There is some truth in this, but...will the prince marry the princess? ]

Shang Tingli's inner voice sounded, pulling Ke Xin back to his senses. He couldn't help but glance at her, and saw her brows furrowed, as if she had something difficult to say, and then he heard her inner voice again.

[That would be very hard for my sister, right? My sister is a person who keeps things to herself. I'm afraid she will have to live her life behind closed doors. But how is this different from being a widow? ]

[…Huh? I feel like I’m almost a widow now? ]

Ke Xin: “……?”

【Who cares about that? 】

[Alas, last time I talked with my sister, she said that she longed for a lifelong couple, but unfortunately the man she was going to marry was the crown prince, who was second only to the emperor. She felt that there were countless possibilities in the future. The prince made a very good promise now, but what about the future? Should he keep his promise? She just said to wait and see, what if? ]

"Ugh--"

Shang Tingli thought about it and sighed. However, she did not look at Ke Xin across from her, but continued to think about things.

Ke Xin was also thinking about something.

His eyes flickered, and his Adam's apple subconsciously rolled. A life together? That sounds good. What about her?

He looked at Shang Tingli. Did she have the same thought?

[In the future? From what I can see right now, I'm afraid that my sister won't marry into the Eastern Palace yet, but a new person will move in first. I have to think about this. Should I go to my sister's place to comfort her tomorrow?]

Shang Tingli felt a little melancholy.

Feeling melancholy, she lost her appetite even more, and she slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.
