After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

The queen showed some surprise on her face.

"Your Majesty suddenly appointed a Crown Prince when the turmoil in the Prime Minister's Residence had not yet subsided. I originally thought that Your Majesty had already wavered in his choice of Crown Princess and would definitely choose the one whom the people said was a good match."

"The Queen is Yan, Prime Minister Yan's legitimate daughter Yan Xiaoxiao, or the Queen's niece from her mother's family, Princess Fengling?"

"It's both, naturally."

"Naturally, the two of them are the best candidates to silence the public, but Huai'er is not happy."

"Why is Your Majesty so impatient? Can't you wait until the storm is over and Yan Yunshu is officially included in the family tree of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

"If there were no pressure, how could we have the motivation and courage to leave the comfort zone of the capital and go to such a bitter cold place to endure all the hardships?"

The emperor smiled at the queen, and there was a hint of deep meaning in the corner of his eyes, which made the queen understand instantly.

I couldn't help but get angry.

"Just now I was praising Huai'er. I see, the old ones are still the wisest. It turns out that Huai'er's behavior is all due to the misconduct of your Majesty, the father."

"Ah! That requires Huai'er's cooperation!"

"Now he's cooperating, but Your Majesty, you're feeling distressed again, right?"

"That is..." the emperor said, covering his chest tightly with his hands, looking full of regret.

"Could it be that the assassin in the palace that day was also arranged by His Majesty?"

When the queen said this, the emperor was shocked and panicked.

He quickly replied, "Huai'er must not know about this."

The queen laughed angrily.

"I'm afraid he already knew this, and was only willing to cooperate with Your Majesty."

"This……"

The emperor continued to cover his heart, and his heart ached even more because the child was so sensible.

The border in winter is such a bitterly cold place.

How could he not know that it was a place where one suffered torture day and night, with no peace, and where it took enormous courage and perseverance to stay alive.

But without this experience, how can one shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country?

Only by giving up can you gain.

Only the emperor, who is in the supreme position, can best understand the truth.

The Beginning of Winter Banquet is still going on.

Yan Yunshu looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

It's been a different world, and things and people have really changed. The singing and dancing are still the same, the people are still toasting each other, and the women are still gossiping, but many things have changed.

Her father and half-sister are gone, but her mother and brother are by her side.

Xu Jinghuai did not arrive late, but had been waiting here since early morning, and always took the opportunity to look at herself with affectionate eyes.

The focus of the women's gossip was still on themselves, but the vicious and humiliating words they used to talk about had turned into ordinary talk.

It's just a matter of choosing the Crown Princess.

She didn't intend to listen, but had no choice but to listen to some of what they said, and felt that what they said made sense.

Yan Xiaoxiao and Princess Fengling are naturally the most suitable candidates in the eyes of the world.

But this is not what Xu Jinghuai wants.

if……

She raised her eyes to look at Xu Jinghuai, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her face full of seriousness.

If so, as long as it is what Xu Jinghuai wants, she will definitely fulfill it.

What she wanted was always for Xu Jinghuai to live a peaceful and happy life, no matter who was by his side.

It’s best if it’s your own. If it’s not your own, then whatever pleases him is fine.

The winter wind howls and snowflakes dance.

Yan Yunshu admitted that she had been somewhat affected by the discussions of the world over the past few months.

The weight of being the son of a guilty minister, and the weight of being used by ministers to make a big fuss and threaten the new emperor in her previous life, all influenced her subtly.

She seemed not entirely sure whether she could achieve her wish after reaching the age of 15.

The more he thought about it, the more gloomy his expression became.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Yunyi came over and looked at Yan Yunshu worriedly.

Yan Yunshu's expression froze, and she smiled, "I was thinking, if a person's life is predetermined by heaven, and a small change can affect the entire body, then what if I touch a few very important parts of my body? What kind of changes will follow then..."

Now she and Xu Jinghuai no longer have those years when they spent every day together in the prime minister's residence.

There is no more heart-wrenching and turbulent past that we experienced together.

The days are peaceful and tranquil, but I always feel that there is something very disturbing lurking beneath this tranquility.

She sighed.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Yan Yunyi tilted his head. "I don't quite understand, but I only know that no matter what I do, even if everything is in shambles and unrecognizable, I will always love you and mother. You are the family I care about most in this world. Even if we go to the ends of the earth, and the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, I will protect you."

Yan Yunyi's eyes were firm and blazing.

It was these words that suddenly made Yan Yunshu's heart move.

The sentimental fantasies just now suddenly disappeared.

Yes, no matter what happens, love remains.

Her love is still there.

Just fine.

She looked up at her brother, her eyes full of emotion.

But I was touched for only a second before my brother interrupted me.

"Can I have my brother drink my sister's wine?"

Yan Yunshu looked down at the fine osmanthus wine on her desk and shook her head helplessly.

He handed the wine to his brother.

"Brother, please don't drink too much."

"How could that be?" Yan Yunyi took the wine and quietly leaned close to Yan Yunshu's ear, whispering, "Recently, my brother met a friend at the academy who really loves aged osmanthus wine. So, my brother thought of letting him taste the osmanthus wine from the palace."

Yan Yunshu blinked at Yan Yunyi, "Wei Ruopu?"

When Yan Yunyi heard this, his face changed drastically and a hint of red appeared.

"How would my sister know?"

Yan Yunshu pretended to be sophisticated and took a sip of tea.

"Guess."

Yan Yunyi frowned, "Brother doesn't believe it."

"Wei Ruopu, the younger brother of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies! He's handsome and charming, and I feel pity for him. Of course I know him!"

I saw that what Yan Yunshu said made sense.

Yan Yunyi did not suspect anything and carefully poured the osmanthus wine into the wine pot he brought today.

Cover it carefully again.

Yan Yunshu got goosebumps when she saw it.

She was not surprised by the incident between her brother and Wei Ruopu, but it made her see more clearly the fate between people.

It is just like fate, no matter how many times you live, the result will be the same.

My brother can't escape from Wei Ruopu.

As for her.

She raised her eyes to look at Xu Jinghuai.

But when he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Jinghuai, Xu Yichen, and Xu Jingye, all looking at him.

Feeling the burning gazes of the three people.

Yan Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her brows.

Her brother on the side was still pulling her, "Sister, mother doesn't drink either, please help me get her wine jug."

Yan Yunshu's mind was full of black lines.

"If my brother wants it, he can just ask the chief steward of the hall for a few pots. Why bother with this?"

Yan Yunyi said aggrievedly, "Don't you think this is more thoughtful?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yunshu sighed and took the osmanthus wine from her mother's desk.

Placed on Yan Yunyi's desk.

Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Princess Fengling sitting next to Xu Jinghuai, propping up her cheeks and looking at him.
