Xiao Wenjun's heart suddenly shrank, and when she looked into Wang Jiuyuan's serious eyes, she knew that he was not joking. These few words were full of murderous intent, but they warmed her desolate and cold heart. The heat in her palms reminded her that her previous life had passed.
She is still alive in this life.
"Well, I'll go with you!" Xiao Wenjun shook his hand back hard, and the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper.
Wang Jiuyuan was finally relieved at this moment. At that moment, he felt farther and farther away from her, and even her voice was so ethereal that he couldn't catch it.
This feeling was very bad, and it made him extremely flustered every time.
"Wenjun, what if we win His Majesty's favor this time and propose a divorce?" Wang Jiuyuan knew Xiao Wenjun's thoughts best. In his opinion, this rehearsal was just to make Jun smile.
"Jiuyuan, I..." Before Xiao Wenjun could speak, he only heard the emperor's voice coming from outside.
Just when the snow melted between the two of them and they were in deep love, Yu Wenyao said something shocking.
"Yu Wenyao, you did a good job today! If you have anything you want, tell me!" Although the emperor doesn't know this son, how could he not understand the thoughts of the people below him after being in power for many years? What Yu Wenyao did today
There must be a plan for it.
"I dare you to ask your father for a marriage!" Yu Wenyao said slowly.
"Marriage?" The smile at the corner of the emperor's mouth subsided, and he sat upright leaning against the backrest, and his aura of calmness and self-power suddenly released, which showed that the emperor was not happy with Yu Wenyao's proposal.
Xiao Wenjun, who noticed the changes in the emperor's mood, knew that it would not be that simple to propose a divorce in the future.
"My son wants to take Lu Jingyi from the Lu family as his concubine!" This reason is too valid. Yu Wenyao has already reached the age of weakness, and he still doesn't even have a well-known wife or concubine in the house, let alone any heirs.
Although Yu Wenyao had Xiao Wenjun, the princess of Lanling County who was betrothed by the emperor, as his wife, the Xiao family was in decline, and Xiao Wenjun had been extremely powerful recently, so he had not married into the prince's palace for a long time.
Procrastinating all the time is not an option. Now Lu Jingyi shines at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and is deeply loved by the emperor. What's more, the Fan Yang Lu family is not a member of the imperial court, and is not involved in factional disputes. Even if there is no Mid-Autumn Festival today,
The emperor had no reason to refuse the banquet.
"Okay! I'm sure!" After the emperor thought about the pros and cons, although the matter was out of his control, many of his son's recent actions were unexpected, and he wanted to see what he was going to do, so he agreed.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, the trend in the field changed again.
Even the eldest prince and the fifth prince began to congratulate Yu Wenyao, thinking that he would take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to shine and intend to interfere in the government affairs, but he was still so harmless, and of course he was happy to succeed.
However, Yu Wenyao's marriage to Lu Jingyi also shattered the dreams of countless young masters in Kyoto.
Because it is said that twins are unlucky in Daqi, her younger sister Lu Jingyun is pretty and cute. She was educated by an aristocratic family since she was a child and is good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Her elder sister, Lu Jingyi, was raised outside since she was a child and was brought back to her family in recent years. Due to her excessively beautiful appearance, she became famous in Kyoto and was vaguely known as "the most beautiful woman in Daqi".
However, her beautiful appearance is just her disguise. Everyone who has really fought against her has died due to her vicious methods.
Recently, there is a popular saying in Kyoto circles: Xiao Wenjun of Lanling, Lu Jingyi of Fan Yang. The beauty conceals the present and the past, and the lotus flowers shame the jade face.
Xiao Wenjun never liked being discussed by others, and comparing herself to Lu Jingyi violated her taboo. Putting herself together with her enemies in her previous life was simply a great irony.
When the Lu sisters left the stage, Xiao Wenjun knew that after leaving the banquet process, he was afraid that there would be no chance to appear on the stage again today. So he prepared to take off his makeup and sit down to the table to act on his own.
"Queen, I remember you just said, who else is playing?" The emperor suddenly turned his head and asked. I don't know if he really forgot, or if he asked like this on purpose.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" The queen knew that she would make mistakes if she spoke too much, so she directly turned to the back page of the play. The title of the play called "The Bloody Battle in Lingbei" immediately caught the emperor's attention!
When Taizu established Daqi, it was the time when the new dynasty was first established and everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized. However, successive attacks from the northwest to the east made the people miserable and uninterested in farming. Forced by helplessness, Taizu made several personal expeditions.
Although the personal guards commanded by Taizu were good at attacking tough battles, they were very unfamiliar with horse battles in open areas, not to mention that the adaptability of the war horses in the south was much worse than those in the western regions.
Five consecutive personal expeditions ended in failure. Even the emperor's eldest son died on the way to the fifth personal expedition, and he had no choice but to be succeeded by the emperor's eldest grandson.
At this point, Daqi retreated hundreds of miles. As a buffer zone, the Xiao family moved west to Lanling at that time and stationed in the northwest. The bones of countless generations of Xiao family men are buried here, becoming the strongest defense line in the west of Daqi.
It was not until a hundred years later that under the command of the late emperor, the counterattack began to be gradually launched. In the end, the current emperor (still the prince) personally led the troops and broke through the Juyong Pass in the northwest, finally regaining decades of peace.
The most critical and brutal battle was the "Bloody Battle of Lingbei", the battle that made Xiao Wenjun's parents famous. As the vanguard, the two men, with the certainty of death, entered the enemy's tent and beheaded the enemy leader.
's head.
This incident became a turning point, and troops began to press against the border. In the end, not only did they regain the lost territory, but they also extended the national border hundreds of miles outward.
"Is this Xiao Wenjun again?" The emperor looked at the list of actors and couldn't help but become interested.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to cut the moon cakes and enjoy the moon together." A young eunuch in charge of the banquet process reminded him inappropriately.
Eunuch An glared at him, why is the new little eunuch so ignorant of words and expressions? Don't you want his head? After the banquet, the young eunuchs of Qianqing Palace will need to be replaced by a new batch of sensible and obedient ones, so as not to hurt themselves.
"Queen, are you interested?" The emperor suddenly asked the question to the queen without moving his butt even half a step.
"I have only heard your Majesty tell the story of the bloody battle in Lingbei. It is said that the battle was so tragic that I should always remember it..."
"It's more than tragic!" The emperor interrupted the queen: "Look at the people in the audience. They all have their own thoughts. Only a few decades have passed, and they have completely forgotten that the peace of today is so hard-won!"
"Concubine, please remember this!" The queen quickly stood up and saluted, looking like she had been taught.
"Let's have one more stage!" The emperor turned to Eunuch An and said.
"According to the order!" Eunuch An replied, but his mind was full of thoughts. Your Majesty has always been punctual, but I don't know what happened today.
After Xiao Wenjun received the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that another village would be bright with flowers in the dark!
