Chapter 40: Wise Scholar x Calm Emperor 19

August fifteen.

On the night of the full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, the Emperor of Longteng Kingdom, who had been on the throne for twelve years, was finally getting married.

He married the new top scholar Yun Huai!

One is calm and dignified, the other is gentle as jade, they can be said to be a match made in heaven.

Lu Xiao, as a witness: (°Д°)

Let me tell you a horrifying story. The queen of that dynasty was my classmate and good friend.

Yun Ai, who was full of regret, sighed all day long and showed no joy at all for the wedding of the Emperor and Empress.

To be honest, he regretted it, he really regretted it!

Who could have thought that his eldest son, whom he had ignored, could pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer in the imperial examination, and even become the male queen, second only to the emperor.

As a typical figure who is both a sophisticated egoist and a feudal traditional scholar, he can't help but feel regretful when thinking about the past.

But this is also his own fault.

Yun Ai was actually content. After all, he could still serve as an official in the court as before, and had not been purged by Yun Huai and Qin Jingchuan.

It's just that he can see through it, but his two legitimate daughters are fools who can't see through it.

If they had behaved themselves and stopped harboring evil intentions, they could have lived the rest of their lives in peace. However, Yun Shu and Yun Qi did not understand the principle of being content with what they have, and were unwilling to let Yun Huai step on them.

Although the two sisters disliked each other, they disliked the helpless Yun Huai even more.

Now that she knew that Yun Huai had become the queen of a country, which was more honorable than the position of Princess Duan that Yu Yunshu had been longing for but could not get, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red.

During the period from when Yun Shu learned about the imperial decree to establish the empress to the wedding of the emperor and empress, she cursed Yun Huai at home every day. She even temporarily put aside Yun Qi and Jiang Wan, the people she hated the most, and focused on cursing Yun Huai.

"Bitch! How could he be destined to become the queen!"

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"

Her husband Zhou Yong overheard it a few times and each time strictly ordered her not to talk about the emperor and empress. However, Yun Shu not only did not restrain herself, but also spread the news of Yun Huai's illegitimate son and fabricated all kinds of false statements.

This action also brought her trouble. First, the title of the third-rank lady of imperial edict that she should have been awarded was revoked. Then, because of her nonsense, the ladies in the capital city avoided her one after another, and no one dared to associate with her anymore.

Lian Yunshu's best friend also broke off relations with her and no longer acknowledged her as a friend.

Who would be willing to risk their lives to offend the current emperor and empress for a woman who is confused!

Therefore, Zhou Yong and Yun Shu became the troublemakers that people in the capital avoided, for fear that being contaminated by them would bring disaster to themselves and their families.

After learning about what his eldest daughter had done, Yun Ai did not allow her to return to her parents' home. If he had not just removed Yun Huai from the family tree this year, he would have expelled Yun Shu, the troublemaker, from the Yun family as well.

Yun Qi and her husband were not living a happy life either, but after she got married she could no longer come into contact with the upper class circles, so even if she talked nonsense it wouldn't get out, and she was not as eye-catching as her elder sister Yun Shu.

Her newlywed husband was afraid that Yunqi would cause trouble, so he did not allow Yunqi to go out at will. After discussing with Yunai, he locked Yunqi up in the courtyard.

Mrs. Yun Luo, who was under Yun Ai's control, could no longer help her daughter who had married out, and could only try her best to protect herself and her son.

Aunt Ping and the third young master also lived their lives behind closed doors, but they did not dare to criticize Yun Huai at all.

Although they intended to get involved in the Yun family's business, they also knew what they could and could not do. The consequences of slandering the emperor and empress were very serious, far beyond what they, mother and son, could afford.

Didn’t you see that Yun Ai was behaving himself to the utmost, not daring to show off his fatherly power in front of Yun Huai?

Everyone in the Yun Mansion was cautious and careful, not daring to act rashly.

Even if Qin Jingchuan and Yun Huai did not take the initiative to cause trouble for the people in the Yun Mansion, they began to go downhill. This is the power of power.

No one wants to offend the Emperor and Empress for the sake of the people in the Yun Mansion, but just keeping a distance from them is the most kind thing to do.

***

Not long after Yun Huai got married, he took a group of officials to the south to investigate corrupt officials and control floods. Among them was Yun Huai's good friend Lu Xiao.

The group left in a mighty manner, and no one knew how miserable Qin Jingchuan felt inside.

The defense is broken! Whose queen is like Ah Huai, who loves reading and working!

As soon as his young queen heard about the floods and corruption in the south, she volunteered to go there without considering her newlywed husband at all.

Why? Why?

How could Ah Huai be more diligent than the emperor? And he always holds a book in his hand!

Are all nerds so unromantic?

But the relationships between the civil servants and their wives in his court were all very loving and harmonious!

Why did it change when it came to Ah Huai?

Qin Jingchuan appears calm on the outside but is crying like a dog on the inside. He really wants to call his queen back, but he doesn't want to hinder Yun Huai's path to success.

Therefore, he is the only one who suffers.

But he never expected that Yun Huai had been gone for three months and still refused to come back when it was almost the end of the year.

After leaving the south, Yun Huai went to the northwest, solved the trade problem between Longteng Kingdom and the northwestern tribes, and investigated the local people's conditions along the way, so that his journey back to Beijing was always delayed.

***

In mid-December, Qin Jingchuan sat on the dragon throne in the Qinzheng Hall with a gloomy face, holding the report handed back by Yun Huai in his slender hand.

"Zhou Dehai, when do you think Ah Huai will come back?"

The middle-aged eunuch standing nearby wiped his forehead and was sweating profusely before he even opened his mouth.

"Maybe soon."

Qin Jingchuan's face was gloomy, as if it was as bitter as a gourd, and his index finger tapped the table from time to time.

He said in a muffled voice: "Soon? I think he has forgotten me a long time ago!"

Three months! It’s been three whole months!

His Ah Huai has been away from Beijing for ninety-one days.

Every day when Ah Huai is not around, I miss Ah Huai and want to kiss, hug and lift him up high~

Zhou Dehai complained bitterly in his heart, but he could only advise as usual: "Your Majesty, the Queen left the capital for the sake of the country."

Qin Jingchuan felt depressed as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. He sighed, "In Ah Huai's eyes, I am not as important as the country."

He finally saw clearly that in Ah Huai's eyes, the country's destiny came first, and he, her husband, came second. No one else could win Ah Huai's heart at all.

"Forget it. I'll send another letter to urge him."

Zhou Dehai smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year, and it's time for the Queen to return to Beijing."

Qin Jingchuan frowned, "I hope so."

If Ah Huai doesn't come back, he will leave Beijing to find someone and won't continue to wait in vain.

Every day waiting for Ah Huai is so hard.
