The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

In the 20th year of Jingwen's reign, the emperor died. One month later, the third son of the emperor ascended the throne and was named Emperor Jinghe.

After Emperor Jinghe came to power, his first order was to order the Duke of Zhenguo to lead the Zhenguo Army to fight in the northern border.

In a word, it is impossible to exchange women for peace. If you want to fight, then fight. I am not afraid of you.

Shen Qionghua wanted to donate more money, but Xie Nanyuan refused.

There was no way around it before, but how could he ask for money from Shen Qionghua now? Wouldn't that be like living off her?

Although it was nice to live off a woman, Xie Nanyuan still decided to maintain his few remaining pieces of face.

He also did not touch the dowry left to him by the late queen, which was to be used as a betrothal gift to marry Shen Qionghua.

So he tidied up Xie Rong's private vault to see if there was anything valuable.

You know what, I actually found a lot of good stuff while cleaning up.

Converted into silver, it should be no problem to support the battle in the northern border.

After discovering this, Xie Nanyuan's face darkened for several days, and Shen Qionghua had to work very hard to coax him into peace.

Beijiang had originally agreed with Xie Rong that after the matter was accomplished, Princess Yongle would be sent to Beijiang for marriage, and three cities would be given to Beijiang as a dowry.

As a result, the troops were assembled, and after much labor and money, they found that Dai Viet suddenly became powerful.

All the benefits mentioned before are gone, and they even threatened to beat me if they wanted to.

How could Northern Xinjiang swallow this humiliation?

Immediately, a real fight broke out with Dai Viet.

It must be said that the general on this frontier was also a smart guy. He knew that the situation in the capital had changed, and he had even communicated with Xie Rong to plot against the National Defense Army.

In the blink of an eye, they happily welcomed the arrival of the National Defense Army.

With the Duke of Zhenguo in charge and no worries, all the soldiers worked together. The war was over in just two months and they returned to the court.

When the news of the great victory reached the capital, the ministers in the capital became excited again.

They submitted memorials one after another, asking the emperor to appoint a queen.

According to these ministers, Shen Qionghua was already marrying up to be the Princess of Rui.

Now that Prince Rui has become the emperor, how can a merchant's daughter want to become the queen?

Even if the emperor was attracted by her beauty, he could just give her a position as a concubine. How could she, a merchant's daughter, dare to cause trouble with the royal family?

However, before these ministers had the chance to present their own women of marriageable age, Xie Nanyuan's oral order had spread throughout the capital.

To sum it up in three sentences:

Thank you ministers for your consideration of my wedding. I understand, and I also want to get married, but I am still in the mourning period, right?

As for the candidate, you ministers don't have to worry about it. Princess Jialin is the future Princess Rui who was approved by the late emperor, so naturally she should be my queen.

You are asking me to change people. Aren't you betraying the late emperor's kindness and putting me in an unfilial position? What are you thinking?

When the ministers heard Xie Nanyuan's oral order, they were all speechless.

Unfilial?

If the late emperor had not been killed by the empress, Prince Rui would have forced the emperor to abdicate. Now he is talking to them about filial piety. Isn't this ridiculous!

These ministers didn't know that this was Xie Nanyuan's way of taking a step back.

When Xie Nanyuan saw the memorials from these ministers, he almost wanted to go along with it and marry Shen Qionghua.

Anyway, these ministers knew exactly what happened between him and Xie Rong.

He could still tell the difference between a reputation for filial piety and three years of living alone in an empty house.

In the end, it was Shen Qionghua who stopped him and tried her best to persuade him. Finally, she brought up her own reputation and made Xie Nanyuan change his mind.

When one plan failed, the ministers would come up with another.

Please thank Nanyuan for selecting a concubine.

Choosing a concubine is different from a grand wedding. Even if the grand wedding fails to establish a queen, choosing a concubine should be possible, right?

It would also be good if a woman from their family could enter the palace before Princess Jialin and give birth to the emperor's eldest son before her.

Unfortunately, he was beaten back by Xie Nanyuan again.

He used the same set of filial piety rhetoric again, and even questioned the ministers, asking them if they just wanted to put the blame of being unfilial on him to feel at ease.

Ministers: "..."

Before the Duke of Zhenguo returned to the capital, Xie Nanyuan had already fought two rounds of battles with these ministers.

Luo Xiyao was in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, watching the fun with a smile on her face, and she didn't feel worried about her cousin at all.

Not only that, on the first day that the Duke of Zhenguo returned to Beijing, he had a reunion dinner with Xie Nanyuan, Shen Qionghua, and the Duke of Zhenguo.

The next day, Luo Xiyao left a letter, took Shen Qionghua, and dragged the fifth prince, who was almost going crazy from studying in the palace, out of the capital.

He said he wanted to travel around the mountains and rivers and bring people back when Xie Nanyuan and Shen Qionghua's wedding was approaching.

Xie Nanyuan, Duke Zhenguo and Fu Chen, three grown men, looked at the letter left by Luo Xiyao, which was so thin that it could not be any thinner, and could not believe that it was abandoned like this.

The Duke of Zhenguo and Fu Chen were fine. They had listened to Luo Xiyao talk a lot, so at least they were mentally prepared.

But Xie Nanyuan was so angry that his face turned black.

Luo Xiyao can leave if she wants to, no one wants to care about her, but what's the point of taking his people away with her!

Come back when the wedding is approaching!

Doesn’t this mean that I’ll be gone for two years?

How can this be!

There are still a lot of things waiting for Xie Nanyuan to deal with in the capital, so he can't leave. What's more, Luo Xiyao only left a letter and didn't say where she was going.

So he had no choice but to send Linze to find someone.

The person was found, but Shen Qionghua was unwilling to come back and wanted to be with Luo Xiyao.

Shen Qionghua herself didn't want to come back, so Xie Nanyuan really... could only endure it and didn't dare to force it...

He immediately assigned a bunch of work to Fu Chen.

Since she couldn't vent her resentment on her uncle, her fiancé Fu Chen had to bear it. It was his fault for spoiling Luo Xiyao.

Because of this, Luo Xiyao even wrote a letter back to scold Xie Nanyuan.

Xie Nanyuan was not bothered and continued to assign him more heavy work.

For two years, Xie Nanyuan stayed in the capital and worked hard to handle state affairs.

Luo Xiyao, Shen Qionghua and the fifth prince were having a great time outside.

If the wedding time was not approaching, Xie Nanyuan would have sent eight letters a day urging them to go back, and the group would have been reluctant to go back.

On the day he returned to Beijing, Princess Yongle also came to the city gate to greet him.

After Princess Yongle placed the queen's body, she stayed at her maternal grandfather's home in Jiangnan for a while before returning to Beijing.

Later, Xie Nanyuan gave her to a talented young man from a noble family. The young man had a good temperament, was handsome, and his parents-in-law were also harmonious.

Princess Yongle lived a happy life after marriage and was pregnant.

After returning to Beijing, Shen Qionghua began the intensive preparations for the wedding.

Three months later, on a beautiful and sunny day, Xie Nanyuan welcomed Shen Qionghua into the palace with the queen's ceremonial guard.

The palace was hung with bright red silk, the bed was sprinkled with peanuts and longans, symbolizing the early birth of a son, and a pair of dragon and phoenix candles were placed on the table.

Amid the joyful sound of candles popping, Shen Qionghua and Xie Nanyuan drank the wedding wine together.

The bed curtains fell.

Under the dim candlelight, Shen Qionghua saw that the pair of dark eyes were full of joy, and seemed to be filled with stars, flickering, making her feel dizzy.

In this life, she finally found her happiness.

May your family be healthy and enjoy the companionship of your loved ones.

very nice.

……

Emperor Jinghe worked hard to govern the country throughout his life and had only one wife, Empress Shen.

The emperor and empress loved each other deeply and stayed together. They raised two sons and one daughter and were buried together in the imperial tomb after their death.
