Tian Yu, an orphan, transmigrated to another world after a car accident. She woke up to find herself with a 5-year-old son and a husband who had long disappeared.
Just as she was about to sta...
When Tian Yu and Wu Yaohui got married, Zhao Moyan was stopped outside the capital. He was later taken back to the northern frontier by a trusted confidant of Prince Wu. He remained unconscious the entire way, constantly calling out Tian Yu's name. When he regained consciousness, he still wanted to return to the capital to find her. However, because of Prince Wu's instructions, the two guards dared not let him leave and gave him a letter from Prince Wu. After reading the letter, Zhao Moyan obediently returned to the northern frontier, but he seemed like a different person. He had lost a lot of weight due to months of travel. Li Yong was very worried when he saw Zhao Moyan back at the military camp, but he didn't know how to comfort him. On the surface, Zhao Moyan acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to train troops, inspect, and handle official documents as usual. However, his trusted confidants could sense the change in him. Although Deputy Generals Zhang Zhan and Lu Da, who had been stationed on the frontier for a long time, had heard some rumors, they had no idea what Zhao Moyan was thinking. They had only heard of the legendary Tian Yu and had never seen her in person. However, seeing their Marquis in this state, they couldn't help but feel displeased with Tian Yu. They didn't say it, but they both felt that she was a femme fatale! Li Yong was the only one who knew the truth, so the three of them discussed every day how to persuade Zhao Moyan.
That evening, the three sat together. Lu Da, the oldest, already had a wife and children. He was a particularly outgoing man who had been guarding the northern frontier for many years. He said in a loud voice, "If you ask me, the Marquis is too refined. Back then, my wife didn't even like me. I had to shamelessly pester her until I won her over." After saying that, he smiled smugly at the two single men.
“How can my older brother be compared to you? Besides, my sister-in-law isn’t Aunt Lu either, how can you compare them?” Li Yong retorted. Zhang Zhan, who was about the same age as Li Yong but was thinner, nodded in agreement.
"Don't just nod like that, give me some feedback!"
“I’ve never met the Crown Princess, no! I’ve only heard people mention her, and I don’t know what to say. But I think since she’s already married to the Crown Prince, you should let it go, Marquis. There are plenty of good women in this world, don’t you think?” Zhang Zhan changed his words as he looked at Li Yong’s expression.
“I believe my sister-in-law isn’t that kind of person. You haven’t met her, so you don’t know. My sister-in-law is the best woman in the world. Only she is worthy of my brother!” Li Yong said angrily. He didn’t believe that Tian Yu was a vain person. He had seen everything in Lao Zhao Village.
“Look! We’re just discussing this, aren’t we? You said yourself she comes from Old Zhao Village, she’s never seen the hustle and bustle of a big city. This capital isn’t Old Zhao Village, even the best person will change if they stay here long enough.” Seeing that Li Yong was about to turn hostile again, Lu Da quickly raised his hand to interrupt him and continued, “Yes! Even if this lady and the Marquis are a good match, she’s now the Crown Princess, and she’ll be the Empress in the future! Tell me, what woman in this world wouldn’t want that!”
Zhang Zhan nodded in agreement. Seeing that the two were still angry, Li Yong said, "Sister-in-law has brother in her heart. I don't believe she would do such a thing. Besides, they still have Tangyuan. Even if sister-in-law doesn't care about brother, she will definitely care about Tangyuan."
“But isn’t the young marquis also not in the capital right now?” Zhang Zhan reminded him.
“In my opinion, this isn’t a good solution for the Marquis. Why don’t we find him another one? Maybe then he’ll forget about it,” Lu Da said.
“Bullshit! I will never agree to that! I only recognize Tian Yu as my sister-in-law,” Li Yong said.
“Brother Yong, don’t be in such a hurry! I think Uncle Lu is right, otherwise the Marquis will work himself to death sooner or later,” Zhang Zhan said.
The two looked at Li Yong together. Li Yong recalled how Zhao Moyan had been working tirelessly from dawn till dusk on military affairs and had always personally led troops on patrols. He hesitated. Was it really impossible? Did he really have to find his elder brother a new wife?
Seeing Li Yong hesitate, the other two exchanged glances. Lu Da said, "There are still many good women out there. Why don't we pick a few and try them out?"
“Yes! Our Marquis can’t stay single forever! It wouldn’t look good if he returned to the capital one day!” Zhang Zhan said.
"Well...why don't you give it a try?"
"Give it a try!"
"Give it a try! Maybe the Marquis will find peace of mind then? As the saying goes, the wound heals where it was inflicted. Was the Marquis injured by a woman, or is it only a woman who can heal him?" Lu Da said.
The three nodded in agreement, all agreeing that the idea was good and feasible! At that moment, Zhao Moyan returned to the military camp with a group of men.
Li Yong hurriedly ran over and asked, "Big brother, what happened that you're back so late?"
Zhao Moyan tossed him the sword and said, "Nothing much, we just took a detour and captured two tribes."
"Huh!? What!? Brother, you've almost wiped out the entire Mongol Empire. Let's take a break!" Li Yong said, first surprised, then worried.
"As long as the Mongol Empire remains intact, we cannot rest for a single day." Zhao Moyan said, then turned and went back to his tent.
Li Yong stood still, while the other two men approached Zhang Zhan and said, "Lord Marquis, you've turned your grief and anger into strength! You've managed to wipe out two enemy tribes with just a small force!"
“This isn’t just a marquis, it’s a war god! Have you noticed how the marquis’s military tactics are getting more and more impressive? Is he being guided by a master?” Lu Da patted Li Yong on the shoulder and said.
Li Yong, clutching the sword in his arms, looked worried. Zhang Zhan continued, "I also think that the Marquis's military tactics are now simply divine. He also always has a book in his hand, which he carries with him at all times."
“It must be a remarkable book!” Ruda said.
“That was a military treatise that my sister-in-law wrote especially for my brother,” Li Yong said.
"The Crown Princess can even write military treatises?! Didn't you say she's a great cook?" Zhang Zhan said, and Lu Da nodded in agreement.
“What do you know? Have all the people who have been stationed in this northern border region for years gone mad? My sister-in-law is the only female scholar in the Wu Kingdom. Even the old Mr. Jiang from the Che Kingdom has to show her some respect. She is a woman who can grace the hall and cook in the kitchen. The poems and books she writes are treasures that several countries are fighting over. The dishes she cooks are things you have never tasted in your lives,” Li Yong said loudly.
"Wow, that's amazing! How would we know so much? Besides, all we do all day is fight, how would we know anything about the capital?" The two said with a smile, but they were still somewhat skeptical of Li Yong's words.
After listing all of Tian Yu's good points, Li Yong sighed and said, "Forget it! My brother and sister-in-law will never fall for any other woman, so let's just forget about it!"
"Hey! What do you mean!? Aren't we going to give it a try!?" Lu Da and Zhang Zhan pressed, asking. Li Yong was so frustrated he didn't know what to do. He figured it was best to just go back to sleep!
