At that time, the eldest princess Huiwen was young and vigorous. Although she knew the emperor's feelings for her, she never had any such intentions for him. How could she accept such grievances, so she started a dispute with King Jing'an.
King Jing'an went back in anger. The war on the front line was tense. He held military power and could not afford to offend anyone.
After the Queen Mother found out about this incident, she was heartbroken and helpless. She had rarely asked about the Emperor's affairs for so many years, and she never expected that it would lead to such a tragedy.
In order to appease King Jing'an, the Queen Mother could only choose one of the noble children for the eldest princess to marry.
Naturally, this matter was hidden from the emperor. While the emperor was touring the north, the wedding was hastily held.
Why was Xiao Yuanyuan chosen? Because Princess Huiwen had already made it clear at that time that this was only a marriage of convenience, and the consort could abandon her as long as the emperor got married in the future.
Marrying the eldest princess will lead to a successful career in the future. In this era where the strong are respected, people with no talent like Xiao Yuanyuan can only get ahead by entering an official career.
There is no other way. Princess Huiwen is smart and knows what kind of person he is, so she chose him.
This is Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is nothing to say, it is just a transaction.
The wedding was completed smoothly. When the emperor came back, the deal was already done. The eldest princess moved out of the palace and lived in the eldest princess' mansion.
And Xiao Yuanyuan transformed from an unknown young master of the Xiao family to the eldest princess's consort, and suddenly became a powerful figure in Linhuai City.
The emperor hated him deeply, but he had no choice but to face the eldest princess. Under the eldest princess's persuasion, the emperor finally agreed to put the overall situation first and marry the princess of the Prince Jing'an Palace.
To keep a man, you must first get his person, and then get his heart. However, apart from getting the emperor's person, it is impossible for the queen to get the emperor's heart.
The marriage life in those years was not pleasant. The emperor's coldness and deliberate alienation broke his heart. She was a tough woman and would not give up so easily. She thought that as long as she kept waiting, one day the emperor would finally see her heart.
.
But seeing that there are new faces entering the harem every day, whether it is for the Nanyi Kingdom or the emperor's intention, even if those women are not as beautiful as her and not as noble as her birth, the emperor can still be infinitely favored.
The Queen saw it in her eyes and was hurt in her heart. The most painful moment was when Princess Huiwen came into the palace. The Emperor's eyes always followed her, with that kind of deep love and favor, which was even more painful than watching her.
Seeing the emperor being affectionate with other concubines also caused her pain.
It is strange to say that Princess Huiwen has been married for many years, but she has never been pregnant. On the contrary, the aunts Xiao Yuanyuan married have become pregnant and given birth to children one after another.
Princess Huiwen never cared about it. She was not often in the imperial capital. She volunteered to go to the front lines all year round and came back only rarely.
I originally thought that such a peaceful life would be good, the Queen Mother would be relieved, the Queen would gradually feel comfortable, and King Jing'an would have nothing to say when he saw things develop like this.
But that winter, the famous general of the Dongli Kingdom led his troops to fight with the late emperor, and the late emperor fell into a trap and died. The general led his troops all the way to Linhuai, the capital of the South Wing Kingdom, and captured the young prince.
Princess Huiwen was so angry that she single-handedly chased after Dongli's army and snatched back the captured prince. But this time, something happened.
