Shen Yuyao knew that Anajee would never really want to marry the emperor.
Since Xiao Xianbao once said that Anajji would be the prince's concubine in the future, she might as well take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the fire to make this marriage happen.
I just don’t know what Anajji thinks, so I have to go to Yongfu Palace in person.
Having made up his mind, Shen Yuyao bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
The queen was delighted when she heard this and said, "Daughter-in-law, if you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly."
Shen Yuyao said, "That day, when I was apprehending Princess Anaj, I came to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace while chasing her."
"I noticed that Anajji had a very strange expression when she saw the prince. I think she has a close relationship with the prince."
The Queen looked puzzled and looked at Shen Yuyao, "Really? How did they know each other?"
"I don't know about this. If Anaj is willing to marry the prince as his consort, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
The Queen thought to herself that if Anaj was willing to marry the Crown Prince, it would be the best of both worlds. No matter how foolish the Emperor was, he would never compete with his own son for a wife.
Even if Anaj became the prince's concubine, the 100,000 foreign women and children in the capital would live in peace with the Daxia people.
The Queen and Shen Yuyao both knew it very well.
The war between the Great Xia Dynasty and the previous dynasty was a long one, and the people on both sides have suffered for a long time. Now, if the prince and the princess can get married, it can stabilize the order of the country and set an example for the people.
The nobles of the previous dynasty fled, and the men of the Daxia tribe had experienced years of war. The population of the capital was less than one-tenth of that of the previous dynasty.
The fields outside the capital were barren, and many lands were abandoned due to lack of cultivation. The emperor had just ascended the throne, and the Great Xia Dynasty was in urgent need of recuperation.
The 100,000 foreign women and children left in the capital by the previous dynasty were of great benefit to the stability of the capital at this time.
If the prince marries their princess as his consort, then their women can marry men from the Great Xia Dynasty with peace of mind.
Intermarriage between the two tribes can not only increase the population, but also allow the other tribes to accept the cultural customs of the Daxia tribe. Over time, they will no longer have the intention of rebellion.
Peace and prosperity for the country and the people!
The Queen cast her approving gaze at Shen Yuyao without any concealment.
The Queen said, "That's great! But will Anaj agree?"
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, "Now, Queen Mother, please issue an imperial decree for me to go to Yongfu Palace and ask what Anajee feels."
"It's a good thing that the Queen Mother sent me this dress specially."
"good!"
"Come here, pass on this imperial decree!"
......
Yongfu Palace.
"Who are you? Lord Shen?" Anaj looked at the woman in the gorgeous princess dress in front of her, her face full of surprise.
"Princess Anaj, I am the wife of Prince Ning, Shen."
Shen Yuyao said softly: "It's also Lord Shen who you fought with."
"If you are here to persuade me to marry the emperor, please go back."
Anaj's face turned cold, "I will never marry you even if I die!"
"I am indeed here to persuade you to marry, but the person who persuaded you to marry was not the emperor." Shen Yuyao smiled and said, "It was the person you met in the East Palace that day."
"Your Highness?" A hint of surprise flashed across Anaj's eyes, then dimmed. "Isn't he also my enemy? How can I marry him?"
Shen Yuyao said sternly, "Anaji, you are both talented in literature and martial arts. You should know that your father, the emperor, still indulged in a luxurious life after years of disasters, causing the people to suffer."
"Even though the war had already reached the capital, your father continued to play the piano and dance, reveling and feasting in the palace. This is how the country was destroyed and the family was ruined."
"You keep saying that the Emperor of Daxia and you have a grudge against each other for killing your father. But do you know that your father only cared about faking his own death and escaping, but abandoned 100,000 women and children in the capital?"
Shen Yuyao's words were righteous and powerful!
"What?"
Anaj's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Say it again! My father was not killed?"
"Yes. On the day the city fell, your father faked his own death and fled to Shangdu, but he died of illness. Now your brother has established a new dynasty in Khorin."
The gleam in Shen Yuyao's eyes made Anaj's heart beat.
"I told you I won't lie to you again!"
"Besides, the one who let your father go that day was none other than the Crown Prince's wife, Chang's father!"
Anaj recalled the scene on the day the city was captured.
That day, early in the morning, the sound of dense horse hooves could be heard from the gate of the imperial palace. The concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs in the palace were all rushing to change into the common people's clothes of the Daxia tribe.
Then, the ground began to shake violently and the sound of horse hooves became closer and closer.
At this time, the emperor had disappeared, and the queen mother kept crying: "Nana, you should run away quickly."
"Mother, let's escape together."
But the queen mother still cruelly handed her over to her personal maid, and then turned around to look for her father.
Anaj followed the palace maid and ran all the way. The scene was very chaotic. In the palace, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood in half a day.
Boom... Boom...
When the palace gate opened, Anaki ran there but got separated from the palace maid who was leading her.
Anaj still remembered that when she ran out of the palace, she looked back at the towering hall, hoping to see the figures of her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen.
But I didn’t see it!
Anaj could only continue to run around with the crowd.
The capital city was already in ruins, and the people were fleeing everywhere.
Some are from the Daxia tribe, and some are from the Yuan tribe.
It was also on that day that she walked in the streets of the capital city in a daze, wearing tattered clothes from the Great Xia Dynasty, with messy hair and a deliberately blackened face.
But she met several fleeing Yuan soldiers. They thought she was a woman from the Daxia tribe and wanted to vent all their anger for the defeat on her.
Because the soldiers knew they could no longer escape.
The entire capital city was filled with soldiers from the Daxia tribe, who were capturing soldiers from the Yuan tribe on every street.
In a panic, she also told the soldiers in the Yuan language that she was Princess Anaj!
But they laughed and said, "If you are a princess, then I am the prince consort!"
At that time, many Daxia people in the capital could speak the Yuan language, so they didn't believe her at all.
Yes, how could the princess become so poor that she was running away on the street in rags?
When Anaj was about to give up, she met him.
The crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty!
That day he came on horseback, and the large group of soldiers behind him killed those Yuan soldiers.
He stretched out his hand to her while riding on his horse, pulled her onto his horse, and wrapped her in his cloak, allowing her, who was now naked, to retain a bit of dignity.
When the horse ran to an inn with a half-open door, he stopped, picked her up from the horse, handed her to the innkeeper, and then turned and left.
And she was too tired, too hungry, and too frightened.
Finally, he fainted the moment he entered the inn...
