Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Make the widow of Xie Jia Sanlang the queen...
Yun Wu moved in his arms.
After a while, she slowly turned around, but still kept her head down, only showing him the top of her black head.
Yun Wu said softly, "Don't scream."
Xie Yi raised an eyebrow: "Did I call you wrong? I am already the emperor, and you are my wife. If you are not the empress, then what are you?"
Yun Wu: “…”
Xie Yi: "Or have you changed your mind? Do you regret it? Do you look down on me?"
Xie Yi's phoenix eyes slowly narrowed dangerously.
Just looking at the top of her head, how could he tell what she was thinking? He rudely reached out a hand and cupped Yun Wu's cheek, forcing her to look up, only to be met with a pair of red almond eyes.
Xie Yi was so shocked that he quickly touched her face.
Dry.
Didn't cry.
It's okay.
He immediately softened his stance: "Who bullied you? Is there someone blind in the Duke's Mansion? Or someone outside? Tell me, and I'll chop off his head!"
The more I talk, the angrier I get.
What's going on? Just because he's not around, they're bullying his wife? Who's so blind? Didn't he leave someone with Yun Wu? Why didn't he report anything to him? What a bunch of freeloaders!
He can't feel at ease unless he keeps an eye on her. When he gets back, he will quarrel with the Ministry of Rites. What's the point of observing filial piety? The late emperor is not his biological father. He never observed filial piety for his biological father. But tomorrow he will bring his queen into the palace!
Yun Wu was dumbfounded, her eyes widening. "Why do you always want to chop people off? How is this any different from those tyrants?"
Xie Yi was annoyed: "They are justified in bullying my wife?!"
“…”
Yun Wu stammered, "No one bullies me."
Xie Yi: "Then why are you hiding here crying secretly?"
“…”
Yunwu was silent.
She wanted to lower her head, but Xie Yi held her face against his.
You can't just say that you're just overthinking things and make yourself angry.
But this is not groundless speculation.
Xie Yi was no longer the frail, dying Xie Sanlang. He had ascended to a high position, the Supreme Ruler, the most respected person in the world. Even if Xie Yi didn't want to, there would be many who would.
Yun Wu lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "I heard that Miss Yang broke off the engagement because she wanted to enter the palace and become your concubine."
Xie Yi snorted, his face still blazing with anger. "She was about to get married when she discovered her fiancé was having an affair with his cousin, and that's why she broke off the engagement. What does this have to do with me?!"
Yun Wu: “…”
"That's not right." Xie Yi pinched her face, his phoenix eyes fixed on her. "You're taking your anger out on me just because of this nonsense? Ridiculous! Where did you hear that?"
Yun Wu avoided eye contact and stammered.
Even without her saying it, Xie Yi could guess: "You haven't been out for the past few days, who else could you have run into? It must be your second sister-in-law gossiping about you."
"..." Yun Wu whispered: "No."
"If not her, who else could it be? Could it be my sister-in-law? Mother will definitely not tell you this."
“…”
Yun Wu had no way to explain, and angrily reached out to push him away. After just a few pushes, he grabbed her hands and hugged her back. Her hands and feet were restrained. She struggled twice but couldn't get free, so she simply let him hold her.
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, she was still a little depressed.
Xie Yi noticed her emotions and whispered, "What are you angry about?"
“…”
"I finally got to see you once, but you won't even look me in the eye?" Xie Yi held her hand. "If you have anger, don't take it out on others. Instead, you just give me a cold shoulder."
Yun Wu whispered: "I don't have any."
"Who put that bowl of medicine there?"
“…”
The more Xie Yi thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Just because of those baseless rumors, the gossipers were not punished, but he had to bear the consequences?
It wasn't easy for him to see Yun Wu even once. They'd only met once in two months, and before he could even open his heart to her, he was already being given the cold shoulder. How could this be justified? Being an emperor was truly frustrating.
Don’t you think about it? How can that rumor be reliable at all?
His position as empress was vacant, so who else could it be besides Yun Wu? If he couldn't even marry his own wife, there was no point in being an emperor!
wrong.
Everyone knows that Mr. Xie San is dead and Mrs. Xie San has become a widow.
Widows can remarry.
His wife was still young and beautiful, gentle and considerate, and had no burdens behind her. She was like a piece of snow-white, soft, and sticky sugar cake, which would attract dogs just by being placed there.
Xie Yi stared at Yun Wu's profile, his eyes becoming dim.
If she doesn't marry him, who else does she want to marry? !
…
With the new emperor ascending the throne, the imperial power has passed from one person to another, and the court inside and outside is extremely busy.
Not only were the civil and military officials busy, but the palace maids were also busy as well.
As the sisters-in-law had mentioned in their casual conversation, the new emperor's harem was empty, and many people had begun to think about it. However, with the transition of power and the need to observe a three-month mourning period for the late emperor, no one mentioned it for the time being. However, many people had begun to take action privately.
The harem is empty, and even if the emperor doesn't want it, the Ministry of Rites will bring it up sooner or later.
In such a big capital city, among the ladies from various families, which one can enter the imperial harem and sit in a position to share the world with the emperor?
Just as everyone was in confusion, a team of eunuchs delivering imperial decrees came out of the palace in a mighty procession and stopped in front of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
They dropped a bombshell.
The newly crowned emperor wants to make the widow of Sanlang of the Xie family his queen!
When the spring of next year comes and the time is auspicious, the wedding of the Emperor and Empress will be held immediately!
Not to mention the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, everyone in the entire capital was shocked.
Who will be made queen?
The third young lady of the Xie family... Who is this third son of the Xie family?
Oh! It turned out to be the third son of Lord Xie’s family, who was in poor health, inconspicuous, and died at a young age!
...Wait? Madam Xie the Third Young Master?!
A widow, an insignificant widow, suddenly became a queen!
Just who is this Third Young Mistress of the Xie family, to have attracted the attention of the new emperor?!
The whole capital was in uproar.
Not to mention the capital, even the Duke's Mansion was stunned by the news.
Especially Chen Qiutang.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, she pinched Erlangjun's arms until they were bruised, but she still felt like she was dreaming.
"Our Awu... Awu is going to be the queen?!"
