On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The study is a mess.

The screen fell to the ground, and the celadon vase and bronze crane incense burner were crushed into pieces, just like everyone's mood at the moment.

Lin Zhen sat on the couch, wearing a cloak.

Sitting opposite her were Zhang Li, Yue Wu, Qingwen, Huanbi, Liu Miaoyan, Qingxia and her mother.

The six women were all beautiful and different. At this moment, they all stared at Lin Zhen intently and listened to him carefully.

Time passed quickly and the meeting gradually came to an end.

In the end, Fairy Qingxia stayed in the palace and lived in the villa next to Shangguan Wan'er, and her mother naturally had to stay as well.

Lin Zhen originally disagreed. In his opinion, whether it was Fairy Qingxia or the old sect leader, they were all enemies, not friends. If he had two such people in his house, he would not be able to sleep peacefully.

But the old sect leader repeatedly stated that he would never do anything to harm Lin Zhen, and would even help Lin Zhen guard the entire palace and prevent any villains from entering. As for whether Qingxia was pregnant, the answer would be clear after a month.

Qingxia didn't say anything, as if she was willing to follow her mother's arrangements.

Zhang Li and other women felt a little uncomfortable with the two new strange women, but since Lin Zhen had made the decision, they couldn't object.

Liu Miaoyan also lived in the palace.

But she didn't say where she wanted to live, as if the palace was her home and she could live wherever she wanted.

Lin Zhen didn't intend to interfere. After all, the palace was large and had many rooms, so she could live wherever she wanted. As for attendants, maids, and the like, she could find a way on her own.

Liu Miaoyan had no objection.

In the end, everyone voted unanimously to live in peace as much as possible in the future and not cause trouble for Lin Zhen.

But looking at the reluctant looks of Qingxia, Qingwen and Liu Miaoyan...it must be difficult.

After the meeting, Hou Chun and others came in with servants to clean up, while Lin Zhen changed his clothes and prepared to meet Murong Yan.

When the little girl heard that she was injured, she must have been extremely worried. It was a miracle that she could hold back and come here today.

Just as Lin Zhen thought, Murong Yan was extremely anxious. She didn't even have the energy to attend court these days, and was wondering whether she should come to visit Lin Zhen.

But think about it, now none of the ministers know the relationship between her and Lin Zhen, and they all think she is a minister. She comes to see him in such a hurry, even a fool would know that there is something wrong.

So three days later, Murong Yan came to the palace.

As for why he brought the two concubines with him, it was because he didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Recently, the ministers have been wondering how Murong Yan, a woman, was able to have sex with the concubine.

Especially Prime Minister Sima Zhong, he now feels more and more that the person having sex with his daughter is not the emperor, but that little bastard Lin Zhen!

But he didn't dare ask.

Even though Sima Chunlei was his biological daughter, she was also the Imperial Concubine of Daqian. There was a difference between the emperor and his subjects. Normally, he needed the emperor's permission to meet her, let alone ask in private.

So, this matter became an unsolved mystery.

In the evening, the setting sun shines on the official roads of the capital, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze, but it is not as dazzling as the ceremonial procession that is about to appear.

Outside the palace gate, there was first the sound of steady and powerful footsteps. The well-trained royal guards marched forward in uniform steps. They were dressed in shiny armor, holding spears upright with cold light flashing at the tips, majestically clearing the way for the team behind them.

Then, two teams of palace maids filed out. They were dressed in pink palace costumes with fluttering sleeves. Some held incense burners in their hands, with smoke rising from them, emitting a refreshing fragrance; others held whisks, with their soft silk swaying gently in the breeze.

The palace maids had pretty faces and delicate makeup, but they all kept their eyes down, strictly observing the palace rules.

Further back is the sedan chair of Empress Murong Yan.

This sedan chair is made of precious golden nanmu wood, which emits a subtle luster and is carved with exquisite auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes.

The sedan chair was surrounded by draped silk curtains as thin as cicada wings. The sunlight filtered in, casting a hazy light and shadow on the ground, which could block some dust and vaguely reveal Murong Yan's graceful figure.

The sedan chair was carried by eight strong women. They walked steadily and cautiously, for fear of bumping the extremely noble empress on it.

Also accompanying them were the sedan chairs of the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Ning. Although not as luxurious and majestic as the sedan chair, they were also exquisitely decorated, showing the dignity of the concubines.

In front of the palace gate, led by Lin An, the servants and maids had already knelt down waiting, not daring to make a sound.

When the grand procession stopped, Murong Wushe shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived——"

The sound was long and echoed in the air.

Surrounded by the crowd, Murong Yan took light lotus steps and stepped down from the sedan chair.

She was wearing a dark purple phoenix robe today. Unlike the solemn bright yellow she wore in the past, this dark purple robe added a touch of mystery and charm. The hanging pearl curtain covered her face, but it could not hide her stunning beauty.

After she stood still, she gently raised her hand, and the bead curtain swayed, revealing a pair of affectionate eyes. Her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, and the shimmering light concealed her concern and eagerness for Lin Zhen.

But in the blink of an eye, that gaze turned into a majestic one that looked down upon the world.

Sima Chunlei and Gu Zhen also got out of the sedan chair one after another. They followed behind Murong Yan, one was bright and beautiful, the other was gentle and delicate.

Especially Sima Chunlei, she was wearing a pomegranate red palace dress, swaying gracefully as she walked, and her eyes drifted towards the palace from time to time, revealing her uncontrollable eagerness.

Lin Zhen had already been waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing Murong Yan and others come in, he smiled and said from a distance: "Your Majesty."

His voice was deep and mellow, filled with uncontrollable joy.

Murong Yan looked at him, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, almost imperceptibly, and she said in a quirky tone, as if jokingly between lovers, "My dear, please stand up."

Lin Zhen guessed her intention and asked with a faint smile, "Stand up? I didn't even kneel down, so why should I stand up?"

"Stand up if you don't kneel!"

"Oh!"

Murong Yan could no longer control her smile, her eyes filled with love for her ideal husband.

Sima Chunlei couldn't help laughing at this scene.

Only Gu Zhen still looked indifferent.

When he saw her, Lin Zhen recalled his previous experience on the bed.

This taciturn girl was so calm even during sex, as if nothing mattered, and her expression would not change obviously until that moment.

Lin Zhen also found it very interesting to send someone to the peak without any feelings.

This is his own home, so Lin Zhen has nothing to be shy about and directly holds Murong Yan's hand.

Murong Yan struggled symbolically, frowned and said, "Let go quickly, it will have a bad impact."

"Anyone who dares to speak too much will be beheaded by you, right?"

"You can control their mouths, but you can also control their hearts? Do you know what they are thinking?"

"Of course I know."

"Tsk~" Looking at Lin Zhen's expression, it was clear that he was definitely answering a question that was not asked. Murong Yan rolled her eyes in a charming manner, and everyone walked into the main hall.

Lin Zhen waved his hand, and the servants in the palace retreated one after another, leaving only Huanbi.

In order to leave a good impression on Murong Yan, this girl dressed up carefully today.

Her light blue cloth skirt was clean and tidy, her hair was combed neatly, and she had a small pearl flower pinned on it.

At this moment, her hands were shaking as she held the tea tray. She stood in front of Murong Yan with a flushed face and didn't dare to look around.

Murong Yan noticed her embarrassment and smiled gently.

He reached out to take the teacup, sniffed the tea, and praised, "This tea is good. Is this the Huanbi you often mentioned?"

Lin Zhen nodded after sitting down.

Murong Yan looked at Huanbi again and said with a smile, "You are indeed a considerate person. There is no need to be polite to each other as sisters. Please take a seat."

Huanbi was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly, feeling very embarrassed.

"No, Your Majesty, I am terrified."

I had heard Lin Zhen say before that he had a very reliable girl by his side. She was smart, attentive, and not greedy for credit or competitive.

When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.

Murong Yan liked her more and more, and joked to Lin Zhen: "My husband, this girl is good, why don't you give her to me?"

Huanbi immediately looked at Lin Zhen, her big watery eyes full of pleading.

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't tease her, Bi'er, sit down."

Only then did Huanbi dare to step back in small steps.

But even if he sat down, he didn't dare to sit firmly, just on the edge of the chair.

Murong Yan put down the teacup, looked at everyone, and finally set her sights on Lin Zhen.

His expression was indescribably solemn.

"Husband, how is your injury?"

"It's almost healed. The wound medicine Shangguan Wan'er sent is very effective."

"That's fine. Actually, I came here today not only to see you, but also for a few special things."

Lin Zhen nodded and waited for Murong Yan to continue.

"Reports have arrived from the front that the prince's army has been besieging Xia Pi City for a month and has yet to capture it. I believe that if this battle drags on, it will be detrimental to Daqian."

"Huh? Not bad, you can even see that. You've made progress."

Murong Yan rolled her eyes.

"I'm telling you something serious! Xia Pi City is the strongest city in Southern Chu's northern reaches, and its reserves of food and fodder are beyond imagination. Now the prince has been besieging it without attacking. I don't know what his plan is, and he hasn't reported to me. I'm anxious, but I can't control it. My husband, you understand the prince, so can you talk to me? I can also relieve the pain in my heart, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Murong Yan's worries are perfectly normal.

Previously, the army led by Lin Zhenxian marched southward and was invincible, which made Murong Yan think that they could achieve great results in a very short time.

Maybe we can fight all the way to the Yangtze River and expand the territory of Daqian.

But now, the city of Xia Pi has troubled the army at the front for a month. If this continues, not only will it waste food and grass, but it will also affect the morale of the army.

Murong Yan is a woman who is as stingy as can be.

She would never agree to give away the territory they had conquered.

But the army was not under her control, so she could only ask Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness is a military god, he will naturally be able to handle Xia Pi City."

"My dear husband, please don't be so in suspense. I am extremely anxious now!"

"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you. In fact, the prince is waiting for the last autumn rain."

"Qiuyu?" Murong Yan frowned.
