General Hua looked at his son sitting on the wall and sighed helplessly, but still slowly said, "I have to go to the palace for a banquet. Would you like to come with me, Xun'er?"
As Hua Xun listened to his father's words, tears streamed down his face. He replied, "The child isn't feeling well, so we won't go."
After saying that, he went straight back to his room.
General Hua knew that his son must be regretting it, but some things cannot be undone by regret, so he could only sigh and take his congratulatory gifts to the palace for the banquet.
…
Ye Chenzhou knew the other party hadn't come, but he didn't care. Although he could show off if the other party had come, he wasn't unhappy that the other party hadn't come and he couldn't see him. Anyway, it was fine not to see that annoying person.
The wedding went exceptionally smoothly, and the happiest people besides the newlyweds were the Empress Dowager and Lord Nan.
One was that he finally saw his son get married, and the other was that his niece became empress, which would stabilize the family's future.
General Hua was also pleased to see the two of them. Although his son was not so fortunate, he believed that His Majesty would treat Wan Ge well.
…
Not long after their marriage, news came that Wan Ge was pregnant.
At this very moment, Hua Xun was already far away at the border.
After Wan Ge's marriage, due to the Chao Kingdom's breach of the treaty, he volunteered to guard the frontier to prevent changes from occurring there.
Ye Chenzhou agreed to the other party's request, so he was already at the border.
…
Six months after Wan Ge's marriage, news came from the border. Hua Xun picked up his spear, determined not only to win the battle, but also to take over the Chao Kingdom as a gift for Wan Ge's child.
However, when Wan Ge's child was born, Hua Xun was still at war with the Chao Kingdom. War is never something that can be resolved overnight.
However, Ye Chenzhou was not petty in this regard. After Wan Ge told him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on him, he did not make any other small moves.
Especially in terms of provisions, the front lines never lacked provisions, and the military rations sent were all of very good quality, ensuring that the soldiers would never suffer any hardship.
After all, soldiers fight on the front lines. If a king were to tamper with such matters, how could he be worthy of being called a king?
Even if he has a grudge against Hua Xun in private, he would never do anything to tamper with matters of principle.
However, when Ye Chenzhou first heard Wan Ge ask him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on him, he was a little confused and asked Wan Ge directly, "You don't seem to trust him?"
"Yes, it's better not to trust a man who is easily seduced by beauty." In fact, he is a man who would even disregard his family because of his own feelings, so Wan Ge is really worried about him.
Hua Xun was unaware that Wan Ge had asked Ye Chenzhou to arrange the people, and directly assumed that it was Ye Chenzhou who had arranged it, thinking that he was judging others by his own petty standards.
But it doesn't matter anyway, since I'm not going to betray my country. If he likes people watching, let him watch.
…
When Xiao Chen was one year old, news of the battle arrived: Hua Xun had done as he had promised and conquered the Chao Kingdom, but…
General Hua had a bad feeling when he saw the messenger stammering.
The messenger glanced at General Hua with sympathy, then said, "The Crown Prince of Chao made a final stand before his death. General Hua... he wasn't careful and was hit by an arrow. The arrow was poisoned, so... so..."
