After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao in the room didn't slowly put down the quilt she was holding tightly until she heard the footsteps disappearing in the yard.

Although her soul comes from the 21st century, she is open-minded and has seen a lot about matters between men and women.

But she has zero emotional experience.

She didn't even dare to show her crush on the class monitor when she was in school, let alone hug a man.

She listened to Xiang Hongxuan's explanation and knew that he had no childhood sweetheart.

She also knew that Xiang Hongxuan had kidnapped Xue's son for her.

Plus the accident on the carriage...

Thinking of the accident, Shen Jinyao, who had always been very calm, couldn't help but blush.

She didn't know what this meant, perhaps an ambiguous feeling.

However, she was somewhat unwilling.

She needs to make sure that Xiang Hongxuan is reliable before she will give her heart to him.

Her personality doesn't allow her to trust the eldest prince like Tingyao does.

I can't be like Le Yao, who dares to say anything.

She thought it was related to her training day and night, which made her so cold.

Plus I died once.

After crossing over, I have always been cautious.

She carried the burden of the Shen family and was always afraid that she was not doing well enough.

She planned to find a quiet place to live in the future, because she knew that her personality meant she was destined to be lonely for the rest of her life.

She doesn't understand love and naturally doesn't believe in love.

She only believes in herself.

She has a secret, and if she really wants to have a relationship with an ancient person, it must be someone she trusts very much.

She asked herself whether she liked Xiang Hongxuan, but she still had no definite answer until her fingers were hurt from being scratched.

Is it too fast?

Today is only the third day of their marriage.

She had never thought about what would happen between her and Xiang Hongxuan before.

Now, after what happened in the carriage today, she had to start facing the relationship between them.

So, she escaped.

Fortunately, Xiang Hongxuan will not be able to return home for a while tomorrow.

She can also have some quiet time.

In the study of Xiang Mansion, Xiang Hongxuan also did not sleep.

He was thinking about everything that happened today.

He pounded the bed in annoyance. Did he scare Shen Jinyao?

Knowing that she had rejected Murong Wencheng, she still wanted to travel around with Pan Ye. Naturally, he knew that the small Xiang Mansion could not hold Shen Jinyao.

He pounded the bed again. It was all because of the eldest prince!

The eldest prince actually made up a story about him and Concubine Ning.

He kept thinking, was it because he didn't say it well enough, and Shen Jinyao still misunderstood?

It was all his fault. He had to ask the eldest prince for advice on how to pursue someone.

After all, Shen Jinyao is not Shen Tingyao.

He should have thought of it earlier.

After all, he was too impatient.

Before getting married, he could wait, even for several years.

Ever since he discovered that he cared about Shen Jinyao, he couldn't help but put his heart on her.

Now that they are married and spend every day together, he knows that Shen Jinyao does not reject him.

But he knew that this was not enough.

He wanted more.

Therefore, I became bolder.

That day he went to settle accounts with the eldest prince, who said that he was very stupid for beating around the bush like that.

He said that a good woman is afraid of being clingy.

He said that a good man should take the initiative.

He said, let him learn from the peacock.

boom!

This time the sound of pounding the bed was even louder.

The servants outside were startled by the loud noise.

The attendants looked at each other and intuitively felt that the general was in a very bad mood today.

That’s not right. Since the new mansion was opened, the general has been in a good mood every day.

Especially after his wife came into the mansion, the general would chat and laugh with her.

When the servant saw that there was no more sound coming from the study, he closed his mouth and stopped asking questions.

They intuitively thought it was related to the fact that the lady did not allow the general to return to his room.

The next day, the news that General Xiang did not return to the main house but was resting in the study spread like wildfire.

Of course, they only dared to discuss it in secret.

Xiang Hongxuan naturally didn't know that he had already packed his luggage and entered the palace.

There are four countries surrounding Kyushu.

They are the Northern Huns located north of Shangzhou and bordering Shangzhou.

The Western Regions west of Shangzhou.

The Qiang people in the southwest bordering Quzhou.

There are also the Nanman people south of the south, bordering the south.

A long time ago, the four countries were all suppressed by Xiang's army, which led to the stable days of the three dynasties of Jiuzhou.

Although the four countries did not sign a vassal state agreement, they all took Kyushu as the leader in many matters.

The last time the four countries gathered in Kyushu was when Kyushu had just established its dynasty and required the four countries to come and pay homage.

This time, the emperor used the fact that he was going to celebrate his birthday and the prince was going to hold a coronation ceremony to make an appointment. Unexpectedly, none of the four countries refused.

He actually agreed to all of them.

This time, there is a grand event of Shikoku coming to Kyushu.

The last time was a hundred years ago, how could the ministers not take it seriously? How could the people not be curious?

The ministers had different opinions on the emperor's purpose in taking this action.

Where there are supporters, there will naturally be opposition.

After all, Jiuzhou Kingdom had just experienced natural disasters a few years ago, and the royal family had just stabilized after the second prince forced the emperor to abdicate.

It is not a good time to go to great lengths to invite the four countries to Kyushu.

Some ministers advised the emperor to wait a little longer.

The emperor snorted, he didn't need to wait.

In his eyes, the current Kyushu Kingdom is the most powerful, and the surrounding small countries do not need to be taken seriously.

If he waits a few more years and the elixir of life is not produced, he will never have such a glorious opportunity again.

He is the emperor who rules over the four surrounding countries.

This time, he wanted to let the four countries see the strength of Kyushu and force them to sign the agreement.

Don’t sign?

Don’t even think about going back this time!

Of course, he asked them to come not only for this, but also for his good sons. If he took the opportunity to get rid of them, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

No one knew the emperor's crazy thoughts.

All they knew was that the emperor had been obsessed with developing an elixir of life recently.

He even always encouraged the generals to make the small countries around Shikoku submit to Kyushu in the coming year.

Some ministers praised the emperor for his great talent and strategy.

Some ministers advised the emperor not to start a war.

True or false, no one dared to take the emperor's thoughts seriously.

If the emperor really starts a war, the people of Kyushu will definitely live in dire straits.

They didn't understand why the emperor was so crazy.

Xiang Hongxuan and the prince knew it very well.

Although the emperor is old, he still has ambitions.

Seeing that my body can't hold on for much longer, I always fantasize about living to be a hundred years old.

The most important thing right now is to receive guests from the four countries well.

After all, the four countries today are no longer the same as before.

The emperor naturally took his ministers' ideas into consideration, but things were already developing as he had envisioned.

What can these timid people do to him?

He established the Reception Department.

Hand the matter over to the eldest prince and the crown prince, set up Xiang Hongxuan and Xue Shangshu as the reception department, and the rest of the people in the Ministry of Rites must cooperate with the work of the reception department.

The Crown Prince and the eldest prince's troops kept an eye on each other, which saved the emperor a lot of trouble.

Now, the Qiang king's troops have arrived and moved into the Nan Palace arranged by the Reception Department yesterday.

Tomorrow is the day when the remaining three countries will arrive in Shangjing.
