After the wedding, Yan Ruqing and Lou Jinhuan were inseparable for more than half a year. The ministers felt that it was almost done, so they began to suggest that Yan Ruqing should choose a concubine.
The eunuch read them one by one, and then he dismissed them one by one.
In the end, he directly decreed that he would never accept a concubine in this life, and everyone in the world would see it. If he violated this oath, the centuries-old foundation of Daxia would be cut off.
This oath can not be said to be innocuous. When the imperial edict was announced, the officials were furious and begged Yan Ruqing to take back the edict, otherwise they would kneel to death at the palace gate and cursed Lou Jinhuan as the Demon Queen.
Yan Ruqing directly raised his sword to guard the palace gate, "The foundation of the Great Xia for hundreds of years was laid by the ancestors' conquests in the north and south, not by the concubines in the harem. The law of the Great Xia does not stipulate that the emperor must have three palaces and six courtyards.
So, what are you forcing here? It's your own selfish desires!"
"There are countless clan members in the Daxia royal family, and outstanding children are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Why worry about not being able to find a suitable successor? Whoever dares to surround me with people will be the culprit of Daxia's downfall!"
Those ministers didn't really want to die. Seeing Yan Ruqing's tough attitude, they didn't say anything more and planned to take action slowly.
However, one year, three years, and ten years passed, and Yan Ruqing remained the same, guarding the building and enjoying herself unwaveringly.
With Yan Ruqing's acquiescence, Lou Jinhuan often participated in government affairs and proposed many policies that benefited the people and the country, which impressed the officials. The people even regarded her as the second emperor and no longer thought of her as Yan Ruqing.
Like your vassal.
Ten years later, Yan Ruqing abdicated the throne and passed the throne to the son of a county prince who was a member of the clan and had both political integrity and talent. He took Lou Jinhuan with him and retired, and no one knew where they were.
Some people say that they have died a long time ago, some say that they are hiding in paradise, and some say that they are gods from the sky who came to save Daxia and will fly back to the sky when the time is up...
There are many different opinions.
And the people who were with them back then also got married one after another.
Chu Yun was sent out of the palace after Lou Jinhuan faked her death, and she was given her freedom. Lou Jinhuan also found a good marriage for her, and they became a loving couple.
Du Ruo and Mo Shangshuang finally came together, and they were happy that the enemies finally became a couple.
After Prince Yu got married, he took his wife to guard the border and became the patron saint of the local people.
The little queen Liu at that time was also released from the palace, changed her identity, remarried, and lived in seclusion elsewhere.
…
It was not until many, many years later that the young emperor who was under house arrest became a white-haired old man and was pardoned.
After he came out, he met the new emperor. He didn't ask for anything, he just said he wanted to visit the imperial mausoleum.
The new emperor did not refuse. He looked at the old man who had been imprisoned for his whole life with pity, waved his hand and asked someone to take him there.
After the little emperor entered the imperial mausoleum, he found the tombs of Yan Ruqing and Lou Jinhuan. The words on the stone wall of the tomb were carved by Yan Ruqing himself. They did not have any titles of the royal family. There was only one sentence: Yan Ruqing and his wife.
In this place where we sleep happily together in the building, we are lucky enough to be married in this life, and we are eager to meet again in the next life.
"Lou Jinhuan..."
The old voice sounded in the underground palace, turning into bursts of bitter smiles.
Everyone knows that Emperor Ming Yan Ruqing loved Queen Jiang throughout his life, but they don't know that what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
The next day, the old man died peacefully at his residence.
The love and hate he had clung to all his life eventually passed away with him and turned into a pile of loess.
…
At this point, the live broadcast of the first life has officially ended.
[Ah, I feel so reluctant to let go, I feel like I have lived with them all my life]
[Why doesn’t it count? We are all witnesses]
[Goodbye, Lou Jinhuan, Yan Ruqing, see you in the next life]
