Outside the capital, in a farmer's home.
Xuanyuan Mingchen had finished his lunch and was drinking tea. He asked the ghost leader behind him, "Has Miss Ling'er sent any news yet?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, no!"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
The moment Xuanyuan Mingchen saw Yan Miaoling appear, there was no panic on his face, only joy.
But he was a reserved man, still sitting upright, "You're here..."
Although the Ghost Chief was surprised by this sudden and outrageous move, he was very sensible. He turned around and left, closing the door behind him, leading his brothers far away, leaving them alone.
Yan Miaoling recounted the recent events in the palace, and Xuanyuan Mingchen updated her on the situation on the border. After hearing Yan Miaoling's reminder about the Kingdom of Ross, he pleaded, "I'm feeling a bit uneasy myself, too. After our wedding, I'll return to the North. Could you come with me then..."
What does it mean to be unable to speak out what you want to say? This is it.
The main reason Yan Miaoling came here was to ask if our engagement could be cancelled. I want to be responsible for the stupid prince.
But since they had even made plans for the future, she was suddenly speechless.
The girl remained silent, but Xuanyuan Mingchen opened up. "I don't have much affection for the late emperor. You don't have to worry about me postponing the wedding for him or anything like that. Our wedding will go on as scheduled tomorrow. Just wait for me at the house outside the palace. I've already had the palace and bridal chamber decorated, and we're just waiting for the hostess to move in. The furniture may be a little dull in color, but if you don't like it, we can replace it with new ones."
Yan Miaoling frowned, feeling very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, can you...give me a little more time?"
She hasn't fallen in love with them yet (or she's trapped in various fateful entanglements and has been controlling her emotions). Asking her to choose so many things at once not only goes against the three views established in modern times, but also forces her to be the heroine and ascend the throne.
The most important thing is that you cannot have offspring of your own.
It’s so difficult.
"Are you rejecting me?" Xuanyuan Mingchen was so smart that he saw it right away.
He had forced the engagement. I thought she had finally thought it through by accepting the land deed. Who would have thought...
Prince Chen felt like he was being tricked.
He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?"
He initially thought that it was only out of a sense of responsibility towards her that he was so determined to marry her. But as the wedding day drew closer, he discovered that he was actually looking forward to it.
I put my best effort into the arrangements, fearing that the other party would feel neglected or disliked.
Even in the dead of night, he would unconsciously think of her in his mind. When she was a human, she turned into a fox, every detail.
Xuanyuan Mingchen's good point is that he likes to play it straight. "I've asked Tie Er to send you snow frogs many times before. Did you receive them?"
These words immediately drew Yan Miaoling's attention away. "Xueha, no, aren't those for my sister?"
Xuanyuan Mingchen understood why he asked about the taste, yet looked so confused. It turned out that Tie Er hadn't done his job properly. He lowered his eyes, "Those are treasures of my collection. I wanted to give them to the Queen Mother as a gift. Later, I asked Tie Er to give them to you. He probably didn't explain clearly, so there was a misunderstanding..."
Affectionate, and affectionate again.
Every man has feelings for her.
The kindness in her bones made her unable to refuse.
I've decided to come clean, no more hiding things. Whatever, we'll have to face it sooner or later. Now that we're involved, and things have gone awry, let's face it together.
After she got the Merit Pearl, she had nothing to worry about, so she said bluntly, "If I tell you that I want the throne of Dazhao, will you continue with me?"
This was also the reason she had come to clarify. If she really became the heroine, she would be in opposition to him. She was a traitor who had stolen the Xuanyuan family's kingdom. Would he, who was devoted to his country, still be with her?
It's a dead end anyway.
A mess.
Yan Miaoling originally thought that in a male-dominated society, Xuanyuan Mingchen, who was a prince and the grandson of the emperor, would definitely flip the table and fly into a rage after hearing such outrageous words, but he turned out to be very calm.
He just stared at her, with a hint of smile in his eyes, "You are really ambitious, girl."
ha?
Instead of blaming others, are you in the mood to joke?
Xuanyuan Mingchen picked up the teapot and poured tea for her, "Since you are so frank, then I should not hold back." After pouring the tea, he put the teapot away.
These words aroused Yan Miaoling's curiosity, and she intuitively felt that it would be a big melon.
As expected, he only heard the other party say, "I am not a child of the Xuanyuan family. The fact is, I also covet the throne. Or rather, a group of people behind me are trying to push me to sit on that position. But I... don't want a civil war."
This story is very interesting. The man just wanted to stay with the beauty for a while longer.
I deliberately kept it short and talked for the entire afternoon.
But the woman was unaware of this and was constantly being led around by the nose, with questions peppered one after another. "You said the Queen Mother was your grandmother, is that true?"
It turned out that the Queen Mother had been married before to a minor official in the west. They had met on the street and fallen in love, and despite her father's objections and the difference in social status, she was determined to marry him and start a family.
And after marriage, they had a son.
The Xuanyuan family, who were eager to form an alliance, didn't care about all this at all.
In order to facilitate this matter, he sent assassins to kill the minor official.
Not only did she kill her husband, she also threw her son to death with her own hands.
Unbeknownst to them, the child who fell to his death was not the Queen Mother's biological son, but the son of a trusted maidservant. This maidservant, fearless in the face of danger and loyal to her master, not only met her own tragic death, but also sacrificed her own son to save the Queen Mother's son.
When the Queen Mother returned from her parents' home and found her own son under the straw, she understood everything.
She cried for her husband and her maid, and was heartbroken.
It can be said that if it weren't for this child, she would have committed suicide to accompany them.
A mother is strong. She gave her son to her eldest brother, the old King Xiaoyao, to raise. She claimed that he was her adopted son, and she resolutely entered the palace.
I won’t go into how much endurance and hardship she endured, but in short, she poisoned Emperor Dazhao’s father, Xuanyuan Shan, the culprit of this incident, to death, and she took revenge.
But she was not satisfied with just this. She also wanted to seize the Xuanyuan family's territory.
There are two reasons:
First, her father and Xuanyuan Shan's father had conquered the country together. Why were their descendants the only ones worthy of sitting on the throne?
One, her son grew up, married, and gave birth to a grandson, He Mingchen, before dying of illness shortly thereafter. Coincidentally, her young palace maid, unexpectedly favored by Xuanyuan Shan, gave birth to a son at the same time. However, the maid died in childbirth, leaving only the son. So, she subtly replaced the grandson with the one who was born to Xuanyuan Shan, making him the ninth and youngest son of Xuanyuan Shan. He was a full twenty-five years younger than Emperor Dazhao. This person was Xuanyuan Mingchen.
Therefore, the relationship was clear. Xuanyuan Mingchen was the empress dowager's grandson, a descendant of the Jiang clan who had fought alongside the Xuanyuan family to establish the kingdom. He was also Jiang Yutang's cousin.
