Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

In the private room, looking at Lin Xi's disappearing back without any reluctance, Wanqi Changge's face became a little distorted. He angrily reached out and threw the tea set on the table to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

God let her see clearly whether so many people are sincere or false, and gave her a chance to start over. Isn't it just to let her make up for her regrets and rewrite her life?

It was obvious that after she divorced Changsun Yan in her previous life, he had been living alone in the Changsun Mansion and remained faithful to her, and never married anyone else in his life. Even after she was killed by Li Fufeng and Wanqi Changsheng, he sat there in tears for the whole night out of grief for her, and died of depression within a few months.

Although she did not have the same romantic feelings for him as she did for Eleven, what woman in the world would remain unmoved after learning that such a man of noble birth and outstanding appearance was obsessed with her and even regretted her for the rest of his life?

Therefore, after her rebirth, when she learned that she had divorced Changsun Yan three days ago, she made up her mind to sincerely apologize to him. If Changsun Yan forgave her, after she ascended the throne, she would give him all the positions except the Eleventh Phoenix Lord.

If he does not forgive herself, does not want to be involved with her anymore, and just wants to live the rest of his life in peace and quiet as if he were in an immortal world, then she will not disturb him anymore, and will silently protect him and the Changsun Mansion for a lifetime, which will not be a waste of his friendship.

But at that time she was immersed in the ecstasy of rebirth. On the one hand, she had to calm Li Fufeng and Wanqi Changsheng and prevent them from noticing any clues. On the other hand, she was reluctant to waste every moment with Eleven, who risked his life to avenge her in the previous life. Therefore, she thought about going to him to apologize after she had dealt with all the messy things.

But she didn't expect that in just a few days, Changsun Yan, who died for her in his previous life, had become engaged to someone else. And that person was Lin Xi, the notorious Chief of the Criminal Court in the capital.

There are always only two possible outcomes for a husband abandoned by the royal family: living in seclusion in the temple or hanging himself from the beam. Even if one loves his son as much as Changsun Mei, the best effort he made in the previous life was to let Changsun Yan still live in the Changsun Mansion, thus saving him from the miserable fate of going to the royal temple.

But in this life, there was a person named Lin Xi who dared to go against the will of the world and seek to marry a husband abandoned by the royal family. She even obtained the imperial decree from her mother, the Queen Mother, to grant the marriage, turning this marriage that was originally condemned by thousands of people into a match made in heaven.

Upon hearing the news, Wanqi Changge could no longer sit still and immediately rushed to the palace, wanting to ask his mother for an answer.

"That Chang Sun Yan was originally my legal husband. I was confused these years and divorced him in a daze. Now I have realized my mistake and visited Chang Sun's mansion three times to apologize to him, but today I learned that the Queen Mother has given him to Lord Lin..."

Emperor Li, sitting high on the throne, put down the brush in his hand and looked down at Wanqi Changge, who was crawling at his feet. His face was gloomy and unclear. "This is a marriage granted by me. What do you think?"

Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, Wanqi Changge suddenly became anxious, "How can the royal family marry someone else when they have abandoned the husband? Wouldn't this disrupt the moral code...ah!"

Wanqi Changge was halfway through her words when Emperor Li on the seat suddenly attacked her and threw the ruler on the table at her.

Wanqi Changge only felt a flash before her eyes and a chill on her forehead, followed by a sharp pain, which made her subconsciously cover her forehead.

"You still know about ethics! I thought you were bewitched by your concubine and behaved like a madman these years, and had thrown ethics out of your mind."

"Now you dare to question me. Have you forgotten that a month ago you knelt on the ground like this, threatening your life to divorce the eldest son of the Changsun family and help your concubine take over?"

Emperor Li had a gloomy face and a cold tone, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry. Even if he were reborn as a human, Wanqi Changge was still so frightened by the angry emperor in front of him that he trembled all over and dared not utter a word.

"Why are you silent? You spent a fortune on your concubine and were very heroic when you took Liang Jun. Why are you so silent in front of me?"

Seeing Wanqi Changge holding his forehead, with a painful expression and trembling like a sieve, Emperor Li's eyes flashed with deep disappointment.

The Crown Princess was sickly and had few children, so it seemed unlikely that she would inherit the throne. Once upon a time, she had placed high hopes on her third daughter, who was born to the favored emperor and was smart and clever since childhood.

Apart from the Crown Princess, she spent the most time and effort on this third daughter. Not only did she invite famous teachers and scholars to teach her, she also never missed out on learning military strategies. She also arranged a marriage for her with the eldest son of the Changsun family early on, and looked for a capable in-law for her.

I thought she would grow up to be a towering woman with both literary and martial arts skills just as I had imagined. But who would have thought that things would go to extremes and then backfire. Perhaps it was because I had placed too much hope on her and pushed her too hard, which made her develop a character that fears hardships and indulges in pleasure.

Especially after meeting her concubine Li Fufeng, she seemed to be bewitched, behaved in a dissolute and crazy manner, and did many foolish things.

She originally wanted to secretly deal with Li Fufeng who had caused her to be so blinded by lust, but then she changed her mind and realized that he was just an ordinary man, yet he had caused her to be so obsessed with him. If she could not see through this kind of love affair now, how could she be assured of handing over such a big country to her hands in the future?

Besides, Xiao Guijun was there to persuade them to reconcile, saying that it was okay for a woman to be a little romantic, and that she would restrain herself after getting married. The eldest son of the Changsun family had fair skin and a beautiful face, like a god, so was he still afraid that he could not hold Wanqi Changge's heart? With this in mind, she temporarily spared Li Fufeng's life.

But Emperor Li never imagined that his third daughter did not understand her good intentions at all. Not only did she take a concubine into the house on the wedding day, but on the wedding night she even abandoned her husband and lived in the same room with the concubine Li, making the eldest son of the Changsun family a laughing stock in the entire capital, and also turning his years of painstaking cultivation of her into a joke.

Whenever the cabinet minister Changsun Mei, who was over fifty years old, knelt before her, never saying a word against Wanqi Changge, but crying and complaining about how much ridicule and sarcasm her son had endured from the young men in the capital, Emperor Li felt that his old face had been completely lost by this third daughter.

But in the final analysis, the matter was done and it was a family affair between her children, so she couldn't interfere too much. She could only issue an imperial decree to reprimand Wanqi Changge, and at the same time bestow generous rewards on the Changsun family and the Third Emperor's husband.

After so many ordeals, the remaining hopes she had for Wanqi Changge were gradually worn away.

But she had thought that Wanqi Changge's life would be like this, indecisive, and indulged in love affairs. Since she could not be the ruler of the world, she might as well be a rich and leisurely princess.

But who would have thought that three years later, not only had this bastard not come to her senses at all, but she even took the initiative to divorce her husband when he had done nothing wrong.

When the news reached the palace, Emperor Li was discussing state affairs with his cabinet ministers. Seven or eight cabinet ministers changed their expressions on the spot and looked at Changsun Mei, who was in the lead.

Chang Sun Mei was indeed an old fox who had led the cabinet for many years. He took off his black hat on the spot, lifted the corner of his robe, prostrated himself on the ground, and tearfully lamented the misfortune of his family and his poor parenting, which led to his son doing such a thing that disgraced the royal family's reputation.

She was humble and sincere in her words, and seemed to have taken all the responsibility on herself, but Emperor Li could see that she was retreating to advance and was asking for an explanation from him in front of all the ministers.

------------

No emperor likes to be coerced by his subjects, but judging from Wanqi Changge's daily words and deeds, anyone who is not blind can see who is responsible for this matter.

Therefore, although Emperor Li was somewhat dissatisfied with Changsun Mei, he was more ashamed of himself for not educating his daughter well, and angry at Wanqi Changge who caused her trouble.

Facing the indignant, helpless, or regretful looks of the ministers, Emperor Li could only order someone to summon Wanqi Changge to the palace in a stern voice, while at the same time pretending to be extremely guilty, he got off the throne and personally helped Changsun Mei up.

In the end, due to Wanqi Changge's unrepentant tough attitude and the Changsun family's clear unwillingness to send Changsun Yan back to the Third Emperor's Daughter's Mansion, Emperor Li finally compromised and allowed the two to officially divorce.

But after this incident, she was completely disappointed with Wanqi Changge. She beat him with twenty boards with her own hands, stripped him of his title of princess, and ordered him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion.

As for Li, the concubine who instigated the divorce of the princess and her husband, since Wanqi Changge loves him so much and cannot tolerate anyone else, he should be given an infertility drug, stripped of his position, and stay by her side as a lowly slave.

But Emperor Li never imagined that less than a month had passed since such a ridiculous scandal, and this evil creature dared to break into the palace to question her as if nothing had happened. Emperor Li was so angry that he no longer cared about his imperial demeanor and started scolding her.

"A few days ago, I heard from your father that you have calmed down a lot and have become more calm in dealing with people. I thought you had finally improved after this incident, but I didn't expect you to still be such a dull idiot!"

"I carefully selected this marriage for you because I thought that the Changsun family is a century-old family with many branches and leaves. If you become a capable person in the future and have the support of the Yue family, then it would not be a bad idea to hand over my position to you in the future."

"But you were blinded by lust and treated the eldest son of the Changsun family coldly for three whole years without any children. The divorce also completely offended the Changsun family."

"Now that the matter is done, it would be fine if you just behaved yourself, but you are starting to act like a demon again. Do you think you have kept your visit to the Changsun Mansion a secret? You are almost making me lose face!"

Strands of blood flowed down Wanqi Changge's fingers, but she didn't dare to wipe them off. She had been floating as a soul for too long in her previous life, and many of her memories were blurred.

In her new life, she was only concerned with handling the affairs of the mansion and even forgot that although her mother loved her very much, her love had gradually faded with the foolish things she had done over the years.

When she suddenly heard that Zhangsun Yan had hired someone else, she rushed into the palace impulsively. But now, after being hit on the head by a ruler and hearing Emperor Li's merciless scolding, she suddenly came to her senses.

The person in front of him was not only his mother, but also the ruler of the world, a fierce figure who had fought among dozens of princesses of the previous dynasty. He was so confused that he rashly barged into her Qinzheng Palace and questioned her about his past misdeeds. This was extremely stupid.

Thinking of this, Wanqi Changge couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care about the pain in his forehead, and knelt on the ground with a thud, and defended himself with cold sweat: "Mother, calm down! I know I was wrong."

"Hmph! You admit your mistake? I don't think so." Seeing Wanqi Changge looking terrified, Emperor Li snorted coldly, his expression not relaxing at all.

"I really know I was wrong!" Wanqi Changge kept prostrating herself, but her mind was rapidly thinking of countermeasures. In a flash, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and then she continued: "After the Queen Mother punished me that day, I returned home with a high fever. When I was in a daze, I saw my grandfather..."

"You still have the nerve to mention your grandfather! If your grandfather knew you have become like this, he would definitely ask me to beat you harder!" Suddenly hearing Wanqi Changge mention his father, Emperor Li was dazed for a moment, and then his tone became harsher.

"Mother Queen, please calm down. It is I who am unfilial and have failed to live up to the teachings of your royal grandfather," Wanqi Changge blinked hard, squeezed out a few tears, and lowered his voice to make it sound as sad as possible.

"Grandfather was extremely kind to me, but when he passed away, I was unable to fulfill my filial duty. I thought I would never see him again in this life, but that day, when I was drowsy, my grandfather appeared in my dream.

"He was filled with grief and reprimanded me for failing to live up to my mother's painstaking efforts. He also warned me that if I tried to make amends now, there was still time to correct my mistakes. But if I insisted on doing so, he would strangle me with the bowstring hanging on the east wall of my mother's bedroom, so that I would not make a big mistake in the future and bring disgrace to my ancestors."

Listening to Wanqi Changge's tearful speech, Emperor Li was initially quite indifferent. After all, the people in the royal family have always been deep-minded, and there are countless examples of using the stories of ghosts and gods to build momentum in order to achieve their goals. Now Wanqi Changge said this just to use the deceased late queen to exonerate himself and win some sympathy from her.

But after hearing the end, her expression gradually became serious. The reason was nothing else but the bowstring that Wanqi Changge mentioned.

The longbow was hung up not long ago, and in the past half month, there have been constant troubles inside and outside the palace, so she had no time to summon the emperor to serve her. Therefore, except for her personal maid, no one knew that she had added a bow to her bedroom, let alone such a detailed description of it being hung on the east wall.
