Zhao Qi promised to welcome me as the queen, but married my half-sister, and said that it was for my good

Before ascending the throne, Zhao Qi promised me that he would return from the expedition to welcome me.

Three years later, I returned victorious, but my half-sister's decree was spread all over the world.

He explained to me that the previous dynasty needed a stable relative, and my mother came from a humble background.

He also said that the queen is just a title, and instead of being confined to the harem, I should be his confidant and wife in the previous dynasty.

I've known each other for many years, but I didn't know that he had such a clever mouth.

Since I'm in the front court, I'd like to sit and watch his place!

1.

I returned victoriously with a large army, and the emperor greeted him outside the city with a hundred officials, including the future empress, my sister He Yu.

This is a supreme grace to others, but it is a humiliation to me.

Zhao Qi knew, but he still did it.

We staged harmony between kings and ministers in front of everyone.

He is for his country.

"General He is worthy of being my favorite general, he is really a tiger father and no dog girl, and he knows everything under the horse, and he will be proud of you. I named you the Marquis of Dingbei, and rewarded you for your achievements in pacifying the north. 」

I am my authority.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, whatever the minister should do for Your Majesty. I said a fake word of thanks, and looked at He Yu, who was standing on the side, "Your Majesty is overjoyed. 」

His expression stiffened.

He Yu stepped forward at this time, with tears in her eyes, and said happily: "Yu'er worries about the eldest sister every day at home, and finally looks forward to the safe return of the eldest sister. His Majesty has set up a banquet in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for the eldest sister. 」

I sneered, I was really worried, I was worried about my brother-in-law.

"How dare you?"

Zhao Qi never dared to look directly at me, but said, "You are my Dingbei Marquis, how can you not be?"

2.

I have never liked to participate in palace banquets, and seeing He Yu following her mother, the eldest princess, with her mother and the eldest princess, not moving and coping with the eight winds, is more like the protagonist of the banquet than me.

In the past, even if I attended the banquet, I was just an inconspicuous little character, and I could go to any cat. Look at the moon and enjoy the scenery, eat something to hide, and no one cares even if you leave the table early.

Not today.

I am a victorious general, the newly crowned Marquis of Dingbei, and the sister of the future queen.

Everyone seemed very enthusiastic and toasted me together.

But who knew that they were watching the lively expressions in private.

When I was young, I never called the eldest princess my mother, and the lord of the county scolded me for being disrespectful, and now she praises me as a first-class daughter.

When I asked for my life, I scolded the imperial history of Si Chen, and now I praise my tiger father for having no dog girl.

Even Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who has always been a transparent person and He Yu's biological mother, now walked up to me with a wine glass and said:

"You kid has been stubborn since he was a child, he didn't like skirt hairpin fat powder since he was a child, he loved to dance with knives and guns, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he would be the Marquis of Dingbei, and he didn't lose your father's prestige. 」

"The eldest princess has won an award. I took her wine and drank it down.

I should have called her mother according to the number of rites, but I didn't call her, and she didn't care about it before, so who dares to pick my etiquette now?

"You came back just in time for Yu'er and Your Majesty's great joy. 」

I chuckled at His Majesty on the high platform, "Hurry up, I'm afraid I'll miss such a happy event. 」

"You are the sister, but the sister is the first. If there is any agreement with you, just tell me, and I will ask Your Majesty for marriage. 」

She looked upright and slightly concerned, like a mother who thinks about her children. Once upon a time when I was at home, she was distinctly indifferent to me, as transparent as my air.

But I know she's banging me for something.

She told me not to covet her daughter's throne.

3.

Finally, when the feast was over, I was about to go to see His Majesty the Emperor.

He Yu came over and stopped me, "Eldest sister must be tired after a long journey and drinking, so why don't you go to my palace to rest." 」

"You're in the palace?" I couldn't help but glance at her.

Living in the palace before the big wedding?

Live in the Queen's Palace?

"That's right. She smiled as if innocently, "Your Majesty allowed me to enter the palace in advance and arrange the Kunning Palace according to my own preferences. 」

He Yu, do you want me to rest, or do you show off your might?

I followed He Yu into Kunning Palace, into this place that should have belonged to me.

As He Yu said, every grass, tree, brick and tile here is arranged according to her preferences, the yard is full of peony flowers that she loves, and the house is burning with her most accustomed agarwood incense.

The anger that had been suppressed in my heart seemed to be rushed up by the strength of the alcohol, and the wound on my chest that had not yet grown was burned by the alcohol, and I could barely maintain my smile.

Well, it's the queen's residence.

Still smiling, she said to me, "Eldest sister, I said three years ago that you don't have a good eye. 」

"That's not how you look. I replied.

She winked at me proudly, "But I'm the Queen. 」

"Not married yet. I reminded her.

He Yu laughed, "My sister, why are you still so naïve, the holy decree has been issued, and it has never been changed. What kind of person the emperor is, you know better than your sister!"

She pointed to the apse, "Go ahead, he's waiting for you. 」

I sneered.

Create an opportunity for her future husband to meet her ex-lover, she is really competent as a queen.

I walked over and saw that familiar face, my love, the king of the world, Zhao Qi.

The two of us were speechless for a moment.

Eventually, he broke the peace, "You've lost weight. 」

I said coldly, "When I learned of His Majesty's wedding, I hurried day and night, lest I miss such a happy event that the whole country celebrated. 」

He knows what I'm talking about.

"I have a hard time. My foundation is weak, the clan often has whispers, the eldest princess has a transcendent status, and I married He Yu for the overall situation of the country. You know how hard it has been for me to get to where I am today. 」

"And what are we?" A tear slipped from the corner of my eye.

He hugged me in a panic and promised me, "Ah Wang, don't cry, don't cry. Wait for me...... No, when I sit firmly in the country in a few years, I will abolish He Yu and make you the queen. 」

"Your Majesty, do you think your promise is still valuable?"

He let go of me, looked at my indifferent eyes, and said, "Ah Wang, your biological mother came from a humble background after all. 」

I sneered for a long time and replied respectfully:

"That's what Your Majesty said. However, the minister reminded His Majesty that no matter how good the minister's mother is, she is also a serious cultivator, and she is no better than His Majesty's mother, who was born as a prostitute. 」

He knew I hated it when people talked about my mother, but he did.

I also knew that he hated being mentioned as the son of a prostitute, so I said the same.

The closest person knows where the knife hurts the most.

"You ......" he was furious and grabbed me by the neck, but he grabbed the wound on my neck, and blood ran down my neck to his hands.

He took out a handkerchief to help me cover my wounds, touched my face with pity with his clean hand, and said helplessly, "Ah Wang, how did we get to where we are today? 」

yes, I'm wondering how we got to where we are today.

When we were in the most difficult time, we didn't even know if we would be able to save our lives tomorrow, but we were willing to lay down our lives for each other.

How is it that today, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and our military power is in hand, but we are plotting and attacking each other, and we can't go on.

4.

Zhao Qi and I are actually childhood sweethearts.

I am the daughter of the eldest princess's former wife, the son of the emperor's drunken prostitute.

We all come from awkward backgrounds, and we are transparent people in this royal family.

At that time, the eldest princess would take me with her every time she returned to the palace in order to show her mother's demeanor, but her children were not on good terms with me, and I didn't want to be an eyesore, so I often wandered around the imperial garden.

I met Zhao Qi in the Imperial Garden.

That day, in order to protect his little eunuch, he was bullied by the big eunuch.

I was young and hot-blooded, so I beat away the big eunuch for him.

That's how we met.

Later, the emperor attached great importance to mounted archery, held a riding archery class, and put the prince's princess and other royal relatives into it, and I also joined it with the light of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess is only superficial to me, so I mostly follow my father in the barracks, to say that I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but when it comes to riding and shooting, none of the sons and brothers present are my opponents.

I quickly became a sought-after star in the cavalry archery class, and even His Majesty gave me a bow and arrow as a reward.

And Zhao Qi, who died as a mother, came from a humble background, and the emperor was his non-existent prince, and he did not receive the corresponding education since he was a child, so he was the last in the riding and archery class.

When he came to me to teach him, I remembered his righteousness in protecting the little eunuch in the Imperial Garden, and became his teacher.

After the end of the cavalry and archery class, I went north with my father to garrison the army, and for the first time he received praise from His Majesty and began to make a name for himself in the palace.

When we met again, he was already the third prince in the palace who was praised for his stability and hard work, but I became a prisoner.

In the northern battlefield, my father, as a marshal, was besieged by enemy troops, and the deputy marshal ordered the whole army to retreat and wait for the imperial court's assistance. I privately brought 3,000 soldiers to intercept and kill the enemy's grain and grass, besieged Wei to save Zhao, and my father seized the opportunity to counterattack, and we won a complete victory.

I still remember that night, I was soaked in blood, smelly and dirty, but my father hugged me tightly, and his eyes gleamed with pride.

He asked me if I was afraid.

I shook my head and said that this place was more interesting than the capital.

However, the deputy marshal wanted to punish me for disobeying the military order, and my father had to send me back to Beijing for trial in order not to show favoritism.

The deputy marshal is the son of Ling Guogong, and his sister is a concubine in the palace, and she has a prince.

The father and Ling Guogong have always been at odds, and the eldest princess has a very close relationship with the queen and looks down on the concubine.

He's going to cut me down.

Both the DPRK and China know that no one wants to be involved in the turbulent current of the struggle between the two factions.

Only the three princes, who had just gained a firm foothold, spoke for me in the court, saying that I was loyal, brave and witty, righteous for the country, and filial piety moved the sky, as if anyone wanted to say that I was guilty, that is, disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous people, and in the end, His Majesty let me offset my merits and demerits, and I was acquitted.

That year, I was fourteen and he was seventeen.

On the day I was released from prison, he came faster than the carriage and horses of the princess's mansion.

He asked me for my mother's relics, promising to never leave for the rest of my life.

I laughed and said, "I'm a complete white body now, and I have nothing but this embarrassing birth. 」

He looked at me very seriously and said, "I wouldn't have anything without you. If we are together, there will be anything in the future. 」

"If you are elected as an imperial concubine with a good family background, it will help you even more. 」

He shook his head and said, "My heart is only pleased with you. 」

But none of our relatives can make their own decisions.

No matter how transparent the eldest princess is, I am her nominal child after all, and it is impossible for her to let me marry the son of a prostitute who has no future. Marrying a senior executive and a wealthy family in the DPRK and China is not only a good destination, but also a good marriage.

And it is impossible for Zhao Qi to ask the emperor to marry me, otherwise his righteousness in the court today will be completely untenable.

So, we began a six-year underground relationship.

After I was dismissed, I learned etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, which was extremely boring. The eldest princess didn't care much about me, so I began to focus on Zhao Qi to help him plan and get more support from the court.

At that time, the queen's position was stable, and her eldest son was also outstanding.

So we don't have any intention of becoming the crown prince, we just hope that he can be crowned king as soon as possible, have more say in the matter, and be able to marry me.

We imagined that we would be able to go to the fiefdom together to live a happy life after we got married, and he worked hard to govern the fiefdom, and I was still there with troops.

5.

"General, Wang Zhoumu's wife has come to visit. The maid woke me up.

When I came back, I slept until now.

I'm really old, and I want to chase down the enemy all night when I was a teenager, and I can still practice as usual the next day.

I even began to reminisce about the past.

Why is it that when you are old, you have a soft heart.

"It's the Wang Zhou Mu of the Taiyuan Wang Clan. I asked as I got up and dressed.

"Yes. 」

"It seems that you have never had contact with me before, is it my father's friend, or is it the eldest princess's friend?"

The maid pulled my hair for me, "The Taiyuan Wang family has been high since he was high, and he has no friendship with the princess and the concubine. 」

I was confused, but her identity was not to be taken lightly, and after a little freshening up, I went to the front room to meet.

"Mrs. Law's long wait is really rude. When I saw her, I didn't wear a strong dress, but an ordinary noblewoman.

When she saw me, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "It's me who bothered me, Master Hou only came back yesterday, and he should have rested after such hard work. Even if it is a visit, it should wait a few days, but my son is really in a hurry, and he can't wait for a moment, so he hurriedly urges me to come over today, which is really rude. 」

"Huh?"

I remember that Wang Zhoumu seems to have only one son, just hit Tanhua, it is the time of the scenery, what is so anxious to beg me, is it not that someone in the family wants to join the army?

Mrs. Wang's eyes were earnest, "I'm here to ask for a kiss on behalf of the dog. 」

"Huh?"

To be honest, don't look at me until now, I used to be hot in the blind date market.

After all, my father is a general, and my mother is the eldest princess, even if I have an embarrassing background, there are people who are willing to climb this family.

Especially when I was just in the middle of the year, when I was dismissed for just a year, the sharpness on the battlefield was smoothed out by the lessons of those young ladies of the family, and because Zhao Qi learned to treat people and things in all directions, plus his appearance is good, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has broken through the threshold.

But even when I was the most popular, there was no Qing noble clan like the Taiyuan Wang clan who came to ask for marriage, let alone such a good seedling of exploring flowers in a weak crown.

Why did the Wang family marry me? It can't be that he wants to rebel.

Madame Wang was not happy to see me, and added, "Today is indeed presumptuous. But the dog Wang Qi was in love with you for ten minutes, so he urged me to come and propose marriage in every possible way. Hou Ye, Ah Qi is indeed sincere, I hope Hou Ye can think about one or two. 」

The Wang family really has nothing to gain from me, but I have a lot to gain from them.

However, a big family like the Wang family should be well-informed.

My affairs with the emperor are not secret to this extent, will they not know?

If they know, why do they wade into this troubled water, if they really marry me, this Tanhualang's career will not be smooth.

Most of the pies that fell from the sky were poisonous, and I still didn't eat them.

But it's hard to refuse her.

I decisively decided to get rid of the pot, "The matter of marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I have a daughter's family, and it is not easy to make decisions on my own, if Mrs. Wang is interested, she may wish to visit the eldest princess. 」

"I said the same thing, but my son insisted that I come and ask the Hou Ye what he meant. 」

I couldn't, so I had to smile, "Even so, Madame let me think about it for a few days, after all, it is a lifelong event, and I have to give it to the eldest princess." 」

"That's what Master Hou said. Then I will leave today and not disturb the Hou Ye's rest. I brought some medicinal herbs and nourishing things, which are not very valuable, and I ask Master Hou to accept them. 」

I had no choice but to collect a whole cart of these precious medicinal herbs, which were not very valuable.

6.

I went home.

Of course, not for family affairs.

Now I am no longer the little girl who couldn't get married independently. The Marquis of Dingbei could marry anyone except the children of the royal family.

I'm just homesick.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, I became ill and kept taking leave, and I couldn't even get up for such a big happy event as the post-sealing ceremony.

The princess's mansion is naturally dissatisfied with this, but I am really sick, and it is useless for them to be dissatisfied.

The emperor gave me medicine and asked the imperial doctor to confirm that I had a recurrence of my old injuries and a depressed heart.

This diagnosis silenced everyone, and even the fact that I didn't participate in the emperor's wedding didn't have much to say.

Mainly in the imperial palace and the royal herdsman's house, medicinal materials and supplements were sent into the Hou Mansion like flowing water. I can't even fit in the storeroom.

During this period, Wang Zhoumu's son also came to visit the patient in person, but I was not ready to marry him, and I was not ready to turn my face with Zhao Qi for the time being, so I didn't see him.

In the first court after the emperor's wedding, I finally got up.

The emperor looked at me, who was obviously emaciated, and said a few words of concern.

I also thanked him perfunctorily.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, he left me to talk to my heart, reminiscing about the past years, and pitying me alone.

I really couldn't bear it anymore, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing important, the minister will retire first. 」

Zhao Qi fell on my iron wall with deep affection, and sighed, "Ah Wang, we loved each other so much at the beginning, but there was no free body under the imperial power. Now that we can finally be our own masters, don't you want to marry me?"

"Your Majesty has just been established. I reminded him.

After the establishment of the emperor, you want to be a concubine, are you dead to be the eldest princess? You are the emperor, you can't think of being so beautiful.

"Sisters entering the palace together is also a good story. 」

Are you stupid to take a leave of absence? I will give up my military power and marry you as a concubine, what a big face.

I rolled my eyes silently, "I don't want to. 」

Zhao Qi's face turned cold, I am the emperor. 」

Well, I still have to rely on the emperor supported by me and the eldest princess.

I looked him in the eye, "Is Your Majesty going to use imperial power to suppress your vassals now?"

Zhao Qi was silent for a long time.

"The minister retired. When I saw that he was silent, I prepared to leave.

"Is Awang going to marry someone else?"

"Huh?" I reacted.

It turns out that he is crazy today because of the Wang family.

Also, Wang's gift-giving posture, I don't know what kind of deep friendship we have, it's hard for Zhao Qi not to hear about it.

But it doesn't make sense to only allow you to marry another person, and not allow me to marry another. I'm not selling it to you again.

"Your Majesty has already married a wife, and his ministers are over twenty years old, and it is common for them to marry. I said without looking back.

Zhao Qi's voice was a little painful, "I couldn't marry you when I was the prince, but now that I'm the emperor, I still can't get you?"

"Your Majesty has gotten what you want most. 」

I said to him word by word.

He gave up on me when he married He Yu, and we all know this very well.

What the third prince Zhao Qi wants most is He Wang, but what Emperor Zhao Qi wants most is the throne.

He sat down, and I walked away.

7.

On my way home, someone stopped my horse.

"Hanlin Academy, Wang Qi, please see. 」

The person who came was handsome, wearing a plain robe woven with gold and dark patterns, and his temperament was noble and gentle, and even I couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Hanlin Academy, what's the matter with you?"

Aimei is really human, this person is three points more handsome than when Zhao Qi was the third prince, and I even spoke three points lower in my voice.

He looked up at me, "I heard that Hou Ye was unwell some time ago, and I went to visit but couldn't see him, so I came to visit today, and Hou Ye is in good health?"

Visiting the Wang, you are the son of the Wang.

I held my forehead, I was really confused by Zhao Qi, how could I ask on the street.

I hurriedly invited this uncle into the Hou Mansion, retreated left and right, and let him see enough.

His eyes were as gentle as water, "I can see that Master Hou is in good health, and I am relieved. 」

He must really like me.

This look is the same as when seventeen-year-old Zhao Qi looked at me.

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Taiyuan Wang's son, the weak crown in the flowers. Any point taken out is worth the matchmaker to break through the threshold, and I actually like me, a person who has been criticized and has passed the flowering period.

I asked, "Have you ever heard of some rumors in Kyochu about me not being married? 」

According to Wang's family background, there is no reason not to know about me and Zhao Qi.

He replied earnestly, "Indeed, I have heard of it. But all I care about is Master Hou. 」

No one is forever young, but there are always young men.

My maid suddenly hurried in and whispered in my ear: "Master Hou, there is news from the palace that Your Majesty has been assassinated. 」

I hurriedly stood up.

Wang Qi also sensed my nervousness, and was very understanding, "Master Hou has something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll come back to visit another day." 」

My mind flashed through the suspects of the assassination, and I didn't have time to pay attention to him for a moment.

No, what matters now is what to do if Zhao Qi dies.

I felt a chill on my body, looking at Wang Qi's distant back, the sun shining on him, and the golden dark lines were shining.

I suddenly stopped him, "You said you wanted to marry me, did you still count?"

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with disbelief, followed by an indescribable surge of joy. He nodded hurriedly, "Count! Count!"

I tried to smile at him, "Go back and wait for my letter." 」

Wang Qi almost ran out, and he couldn't see the appearance of the handsome boy who came forward in a quarter of an hour.

8.

In the evening, news came from the palace that Zhao Qi was fine.

Subsequently, the queen summoned me to the palace.

As soon as I entered, she pulled everyone away.

I wasn't polite, "Don't be smart. 」

He Yu sat on the main seat, still wearing exquisite makeup and meticulousness, "You doubt me? 」

"What's in it for me to assassinate? he's the queen to me, but you're ......."

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

We were both forced to rise and salute.

Zhao Qi's face was still a little ugly, "The queen should also leave some guards when talking to her sisters, and it is not safe in the palace now. 」

He Yu smiled slightly, "There is Dingbei Hou here, what kind of Xiaoxiao dares to make a mistake." 」

Zhao Qi's face softened a lot when he heard this, "Yes. Dingbei Hou has excellent martial arts, and I knew it when I was young. 」

I heard something bad and listened to him continue.

"Today's Imperial Forest Army grew up in the Imperial City, and they have not been trained on the battlefield, so they are still a little less bloody after all. Dingbei Hou will practice for me. 」

They were waiting for me here.

Let me put down my own soldiers and give you the young master soldiers who have many connections in the imperial city.

Dreaming.

"Your Majesty loves you, and the minister should not refuse. But after returning to Beijing, the minister fell seriously ill, and he was really unable to do it, and he was already determined to return to the family as his own son......

"What?" Zhao Qi was startled.

I continued, "The veteran generals of the DPRK and China are also quite capable people, who are more experienced than the ministers, and who also understand the relationship between the capital and the capital, so they are more suitable candidates. 」

"Who are you married?"

"The minister and Wang Qi, the son of Wang Zhoumu, have made a marriage contract. I glanced at He Yu, "This matter has also been reported to the eldest princess. 」

He Yu continued with my words, "Yes. My mother also said this morning that she would enter the palace to ask His Majesty for marriage, but she didn't want to hear that Her Majesty had been assassinated, and she fell ill for a while. 」

Zhao Qi said, "Even since the eldest princess is unwell, the matter of marriage is not in a hurry. 」

He Yu still smiled smartly, "Mother is just in a hurry, and it's fine. What she remembers most is the eldest sister's family affairs, the eldest sister missed the flowering period for the country's war, and her mother was worried day and night. 」

She bowed to the emperor, "The concubine has the courage to ask Your Majesty for this grace, and ask Your Majesty to give marriage to the eldest sister, so as to add some glory to this good marriage. 」

He Yu's meaning is very clear, this marriage has already been ordered by his parents to match, and he can't change whether he gives marriage or not.

And it is also what he hopes that I will return to my family and gradually leave the army, so there is no reason not to give me and the Wang family this face.

"What the queen said is that such a good match......" he almost gritted his teeth, "I should give marriage. 」

I was a little happy to see him like this, and added, "The minister is not young, and Wang Qi is also the only child in the family, so our wedding date is scheduled for three months. 」

"Yes, you. 」

Zhao Qi is going to be, I'm so happy.

9.

Three months later, I got married to Wang Qi.

Because I had a knighthood, I did not live in the royal family, and I continued to live in the Hou Mansion after marriage.

It's Wang Qi who also lives in the Hou Mansion with me.

I don't know how many people in Beijing laughed at him for being a dignified Wang son upside down, but he didn't care, but was very happy to go out with me.

I was in the house, and he was reading in his room.

He never asked me what I was up to, he only cared if I ate and took my medication on time.

When I go to the banquet, he will be by my side.

The direction of the wind in Beijing began to change again, and everyone began to say that I was so blessed, when I was young, I had a discerning eye for the current emperor, even if I lost the position of the queen, I could still attract the love of the Wang family.

I don't care about it, as a person who has been more individual since I was a child, I simply grew up in rumors, okay, what is this argument?

In this harmonious atmosphere, there was also good news in the palace that the queen was pregnant.

As usual, under the pretext of being unwell, I sent Wang Qi to the palace to congratulate him.

He is of noble birth, he is the best at this kind of scene, and he is simply professional. I was even more happy with this kind of behavior of calling him, and I picked up something from the treasury and entered the palace in a hurry.

After coming back, she also reported the situation to me, "My mother, the eldest princess, is also here, and the queen is very happy. His Majesty was discussing matters in the previous dynasty, and when he heard the news, he rewarded the six palaces. 」

When I heard this, I didn't feel any waves in my heart.

I also fulfilled my promise and started to gradually return to my family.

Set up a plum banquet in the Hou Mansion, invite the scholars and literati of the Hanlin Dynasty to come here to write poems, Wang Qi Tanhua was born, talented, and naturally likes this. Unexpectedly, the crown prince's wife Zhang Ren actually admired him, and the two became New Year's friends.

Zhang Ren used to be Zhao Qi's teacher and knew me since I was a child, but I didn't expect to look down on me, but I liked Wang Qi.

He said, "Ah Qi has a gentle temperament, don't bully others. 」

I replied, "And said it wasn't prejudiced against me. 」

He stroked his beard, "I don't, I don't have it now, I didn't have it before. You little girl, your edge is too exposed, it hasn't changed for so many years, be careful of being too rigid and easy to break!"

I laughed, "After so many years, the turbulence in the capital and the wind and sand in the north have not been broken, and they are still exposed, which means that I should be sharp. 」

"Stubborn. 」

I didn't tell them to read, so Wang Qi went to accompany me.

He got cheap and behaved, "I'm not afraid that I will say bad things about you to your husband." 」

"I'm not afraid. 」

When Wang Qi heard this, he immediately looked at me tenderly and sweetly and said, "I only listen to Ah Wang. 」

The little old man had never seen such a scene, and immediately felt a chill.

10.

After another two months, I somehow had an apprentice.

General Zhao is also a generation of heroes, but his sons gave up martial arts and literature, and took the examination to become an officer. Now he is an official in various places.

His youngest grandson, who grew up in Beijing since he was a child, inevitably doted on a little, and accidentally grew into a gentleman. A few days ago, I almost injured someone in the downtown race, and after I stopped him, I was beaten fat, and afterwards he even wanted to worship me as a teacher, and even I pinched my nose and recognized it by setting up a bunch of rules.

General Zhao was so grateful to me that he almost didn't come to thank me in person.

One day, Zhao Qi suddenly felt a cold wind and took a break.

I went up to say hello, and as usual, I sent Wang Qi into the palace.

I went out of town on my own.

"Master, why didn't you go to the palace to say goodbye, my grandfather and father have gone. The apprentice asked me.

I replied to him, "I'll let your master go. 」

"Oh. That's right, Master is so busy, such a trivial matter should be master's go. 」

I couldn't help but laugh out loud as he reversed black and white for me here, "Why don't you say that I bullied him like Mrs. Zhang." 」

"Hmph, that pedantic little old man......"

I coughed twice, but he immediately stopped his mouth and said, "Master, you are a young general, a real hero, and our brothers in the academy can admire you. In my opinion, Shigong is the one who climbs you. 」

I was a little sweet and happy to hear it, "Don't talk about it. Come, let's race. 」

11.

After Wang Qi came back from the palace, he came to pick me up outside the city, and my apprentice could only wave goodbye with tears in his eyes.

"Take the carriage today, you just ran and sweated, and it will be easy to catch a cold when the wind blows. 」

I also wanted to ask him something, so I got into the carriage as I said.

He said, "Your Majesty's face is not very good. 」

I replied nonchalantly, "It's not uncommon for people to have a bad face when they're sick. 」

He hummed, but gave me a meaningful look.

I asked, "How's the Queen?"

"The queen is in good health, has a calm temperament, and has a very motherly demeanor. 」

As he spoke, he poured me a cup of hot tea, "Just a cool breeze to warm up. 」

I looked into his eyes and felt as if he knew everything, and my heart warmed.

"Do you know that I deliberately invited Mrs. Zhang here? I know that your uncle was kind to him. 」

His eyes were shining, and he said, "I know. 」

"Then you know ......."

"Shhhh He sealed my mouth with his index finger, "Ah Wang, I said that to me, it doesn't matter anything but you, you can do whatever you want. 」

I looked at his face.

To tell the truth, such a face is at your place every day, revolving around you, satisfying all your wishes, giving you complete trust and unreserved love, and it is difficult for the gods not to be moved.

Even if my heart is dead, I can't help but revive it.

"Ah Qi, why do you like me?"

He looked at me and smiled, "Ah Wang, guess when I first saw you?"

I thought about it carefully, if it weren't for the time he stopped me, it would have been a big victory parade. "The day I return victorious?"

"No, it was when you were escorted back to Beijing when you were fourteen years old. We were both the same age, and I was still studying in the academy, and you had already gone into battle to kill the enemy, and you dared to break the military order to rescue your father, and I admired it very much, so I skipped class to see you. At that time, you were dressed in blood, sitting in the prison car and laughing, and I fell in love with you at a glance. 」

I really didn't expect this, teasing him, "Then why didn't you come to save me?"

Maybe there won't be anything to do with Zhao Qi.

He smiled a little helplessly, "I was just a white person at the time, and I wrote a defense for a long time and begged my father to submit it on my behalf, but before I could ask my father to agree, I heard the news of your acquittal. 」

"And then?"

"I wanted to ask my parents to propose, but they refused. I just want to work hard to make a name for myself and have a say in my family, but who thinks that my qualifications are limited, and I didn't achieve anything until I was twenty years old. 」

When others hear this, they will definitely want to beat him and blame him for so many years.

But I know he really thinks so.

He took my hand and said, "So, I'll help you with whatever you do." 」

I hugged him and rested my head on his shoulder, "Will the Taiyuan Wang clan too?"

"I'll do my best. 」

12.

Four months later, my sister, Queen He Yu, gave birth to a son, and the whole country celebrated.

I went to the palace for the first time after I got married to congratulate her.

He Yu was lying on the bed, his face was still a little haggard, but his expression was very happy.

When she saw me coming, she was even more happy, and she hugged the little prince to show me, "Eldest sister, look, this is your nephew. 」

I took a look, maybe it was Erduoxiao's mother, this child really looks like He Yu, but I can't see that he looks like Zhao Qi.

Wang Qi took over for me, "The little prince is really handsome, and he will be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs in the future. 」

With him is peace of mind.

He Yu was also happy when he heard it, but he said modestly: "Such a big child can see something, brother-in-law is used to coaxing people, no wonder he can make peace with his sister Qin Se. 」

Wang Qi also likes to listen, "How dare you say in front of your mother, Your Majesty is a person with outstanding literary talents, and the concubine is a famous general, and the little prince must be a civil and military all-rounder. Even in front of my wife, I have never lied, it is all from the bottom of my heart. 」

He Yu smiled even more happily when he heard this, and he almost didn't look like he was a queen like before.

I shook my head, if I put the two of them together, I could say polite and beautiful things for a day.

It's this kind of day, why don't you see the eldest princess and the emperor.

"What about Your Majesty?" I asked her.

He Yu looked at me like this, and the tail of his eyebrows unconsciously raised, "Your Majesty has been working too hard recently, and his body is a little uncomfortable, and he can't see the wind. After a while, I will take the little prince to show him. 」

"Where's the eldest princess?"

"My mother was overjoyed when she heard the good news, and she went to tell my father the good news. 」

He Yu still prefers to talk to Wang Qi, and after answering my question, he turned his head and said to him, "Brother-in-law, you and your sister should also hurry up, the children of Tanhualang and Dingbeihou, that is the real civil and military wizard." 」

Wang Qi was actually a little shy, "The ministers all listen to Madame. 」

He Yu looked at me playfully, and I rolled my eyes, "The minister still has some important matters, so I'll go back to the house first." 」

I couldn't bring sharp weapons in the palace, so I had to call the attendants to bring things up, "This is the dagger that my father gave me, it is said to be able to ward off evil spirits and disasters, so it is my congratulatory gift. 」

He Yu picked up the dagger, the dagger was pitch black, only the blade was snow-white, shining brightly. "When I was a child, I argued with you a lot about this dagger. You are willing to do this. 」

She was also quite emotional.

"Young and ignorant, don't blame the mother. This dagger has kept me safe for so many years, so I should protect the little prince. 」

After I finished speaking, I left, leaving Wang Qi to continue to entertain for me.

I left the palace and went to the camp outside the city, and I haven't seen my soldiers for a long time.

"How's the camp going?"

My lieutenant replied, "The soldiers are training as usual, and they are quite respectful to the generals sent by the emperor. 」

"That's fine. The capital is not more comfortable than the border pass, you take more care. 」

"General, are you coming back? We always only recognize you as a general. 」

I motioned for him to silence, "Don't say that again. 」

13.

At the Little Prince's Full Moon Ceremony, I finally met Zhao Qi again.

He had lost a lot of weight, and he couldn't even hold up his clothes.

It reminds me of the first time I saw him, he was also so thin, and his eyes were immature but determined. It doesn't look like it used to be now.

"Your ......Majesty?"

With a scream, I saw Zhao Qi suddenly fall down, and there was a panic around him.

He Yu quickly asked people to carry him into the room, and issued three edicts in a row, inviting the imperial doctor, inviting the Imperial Forest Army, and inviting the cabinet.

I took Wang Qi to leave, and she didn't stop me in the chaos.

After I left the palace, I immediately asked Wang Qi to return to Wang's house, and I rode to the camp outside the city alone.

My lieutenant was waiting for me there, "General, there are 20,000 soldiers here on standby. We still have 30,000 brothers in various places, and they can come as soon as the general gives the order. 」

"Okay, surround the capital to death, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave. 」

Before I could take a breath when I went home, He Yu asked someone to invite him, saying that the emperor was critically ill.

The day has finally come.

I followed behind Gong'e, walking slowly with every step.

When she asked me to wait outside the inner hall of the emperor's bedchamber, I even sat on the ground and waited.

The voices of He Yu and Zhao Qi came from inside.

"He Yu, you are so bold, dare to kill the king!" Zhao Qi's voice was weak, and he didn't even have momentum.

He Yu was very angry, and he was still the dignified queen, "What is Your Majesty talking about, you are sick and confused. 」

"You poisoned it. 」

"The Imperial Doctor has just diagnosed and said that His Majesty was not in good health when he was a child, and he worked too hard as an adult, which caused the wind and evil to invade the body, and the medicine stone was ineffective. She smiled as she spoke, "But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, and our emperor, your great country will not have no successor." 」

Zhao Qi was so angry that she coughed earth-shatteringly, and said angrily: "Don't you think about it, I still have the Imperial Forest Army, as well as Taifu Zhang, and the Marquis of Dingbei......

Hearing this, I stood up, straightened my dress, and walked in slowly.

Looking at Zhao Qi's stunned face, the pleasure of revenge ignited in his heart.

Finally waited for this day.

He Yu smiled even more happily when he saw me come in. "The eldest sister is here, Your Majesty, you just said, what else do you have?"

The moment Zhao Qi saw me, he probably remembered some of what I did after I returned to my family. He should have suspected it a long time ago, but he was carried away by jealousy.

After all, he was also my support back then, and I know too well what hole cards there are.

"No way, this can't be. He looked at us in alarm, "You don't get along, O Wang, you love me so much!"

I was silent, suppressing the anger in my heart.

"Why, Awang, why did you betray me?"

"Betrayal? Do you have the face to mention betrayal?" I grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. "Then I ask you, how did my father die? 」

"As I said, it was the infighting between the Duke of Ling and your father that would ......

"Fart. They are not fake infighting, but you conceal it and do not report it, adding fuel to the fire, and let them die together. I looked at the man in front of me who was telling a terrible lie, and I could hardly figure out why I believed him. "You have destroyed all the witnesses, but your handwritten letterhead is in my house, do you want me to take it for someone?"

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with despair, he tried to reach out and grab the corner of my clothes, and pleaded in a low voice: "Ah Wang, I am also a thought, and I am also our future. Won't you take over the He Jiajun smoothly after that? I'm ...... too."

"Zhao Qi, that's my father!"

My eyes were sour, "Do you know how much I wanted to go back to Beijing when I received this news at the border gate?

"Did you sleep soundly at night, and didn't my father and the innocent soldiers come to you?"

"I was blind and said that my father helped you take the throne, and you repay me like this?"

I punched him in the face.

was about to fight again, but was stopped by He Yu, "Everyone is going to die, don't make any extraneous branches." The emperor's corpse is going to be stopped. 」

I wiped tears from my face with my sleeve and said to him, "Damn you! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. 」

He Yu said mockingly, "I said earlier that you have a bad eye. 」

He said to Zhao Qi again: "Don't be unwilling, with your qualifications and background, you can be the emperor for a day, if it weren't for my stupid sister, you would be a cheap life in this life." If you can still have Miss Ben married, you can steal the fun!"

Zhao Qi was emotional and was ridiculed by her like this, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood and fell softly on the bed.

I went up to check his pulse.

He Yu tilted his head to look at us, "Are you really dead?"

I nodded and sat down in Zhao Qi's usual position.

There is nothing special about this dragon chair, how can a good person become a monster as soon as he sits on it.

I wrote the edict in his handwriting and stamped it.

He Yu glanced at it and said with emotion, "It's exactly the same, how dare he keep you with peace of mind." 」

"What's more, people want me to give up my military power to be a concubine for him. 」

He Yu couldn't hold back his laughter, shook his head, and put on a sad face to go out to announce the emperor's death.

I led the soldiers directly to protect her.

This majestic imperial power can no longer oppress us.

14.

Overnight, the capital has changed the sky.

The emperor died of illness, and the only bloodline, the infant prince.

The Marquis of the North was appointed as the regent, and he was jointly assisted by the Queen Mother.

extra

After I became the regent, my affairs tripled compared to usual, and I was so busy that I almost didn't go into the palace to settle accounts with He Yu.

is also an assistant minister, and she has much less work than me.

In the end, I didn't settle accounts with her because of Wang Qi, he is very capable, and he knows how to be more measured than me in political affairs, I just need to check it again after he deals with it, the workload is greatly reduced, and I have time to go out of the city again.

That day, Wang Qi and I were racing horses outside the city, and my sideburns were messed up, and he recently learned to tie the bun and was helping me tidy it up.

A tightly wrapped carriage suddenly came, and He Yu lifted the curtain from above, "Look at our Lord Wang, even a cold-hearted person like the eldest sister has turned into a finger twister. 」

"You are the queen mother, why did you leave the palace without permission. 」

He Yu glanced at me, "I became the queen mother to grasp power, not to become a slave to power. 」

I said to Wang Qi, "I want to eat crab roe cake from Thirteen Lent, you can go back to the city and buy some for me first." 」

Wang Qi knew that our sisters had something to say, so she responded.

He Yu took out a dagger and handed it to me, which was exactly the gift I gave to my nephew. "This is back to you, you are a person who fought on the battlefield, it can only be useful in your hands, and it is just an ornament in the palace, but it's a pity. 」

"It's been sent, how can there be any reason to come back. 」

"Your nephew and I are still waiting for you to protect it, take it back, most of my father's relics are in my mother's hands, and you don't have a few. Your nephew is already the emperor, what do you want, it's not bad. 」

Hearing this, I was also polite, took it, touched it lovingly, and put it in my arms.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but sour, "Father has been partial to you since you were a child. 」

I was shocked to hear that, what a thing.

Seeing that I didn't believe me, she gave an example: "My father only took you to the barracks since I was a child, and never took me. 」

"That's because you were frightened by a horse when you first went there, and you went back and burned it for three days, and your father blamed himself for staying up all night watching over you. 」

"He only gave you bows and arrows and daggers, but never me. 」

"My second miss, you won't use it if I give it to you. He only gives you beautiful silk and jewelry. 」

"He didn't take me to the border either. 」

"What do you think is a good place to be at the border gate? You can't even drink hot water there. I'm Pishi, where can you stand it? 」

"He supported the Third Prince because of your insistence at that time. After He Yu finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and changed his words: "That's why I've hated you since I was a child. 」

"No, it's not. 」

"What?"

"Father didn't support Zhao Qi because of me. At that time, the prince died suddenly, and our house instantly lost its support, and if we didn't choose Zhao Qi, we could only choose the six princes of the concubine, but we had a grudge with the Lingguo family for many years, how could they let us go. At that time, if you asked for peace, you could only marry the son of Ling Guogong, whose son was extravagant and tyrannical, how could his father be reluctant. If this is not the case, even if her father chooses Zhao Qi, the eldest princess will not be willing. I didn't expect to lose your life in the end. 」

He Yu smiled with relief, "What is this, everyone has their own ambitions, I don't think it's interesting to be a husband and wife, it's more interesting to be in power." In a few years, I will choose a few more beautiful faces, and I don't know how happy I am this day. 」

She winked at me, "I'll divide the eldest sister then. 」
