"Plop." The beads in Wen Qingdi's hand fell to the ground, shattered instantly, and splattered all over the floor.
He opened his eyes slightly, unable to hide the astonishment in them: "My dear, what did you say?"
His heart was pounding. Hadn't Qin Xuanzhi been diagnosed as childless? Why was his new wife pregnant now?
It just happened to be at this time. Could it be used to deceive them?
Before Qin Xuanzhi could answer, Emperor Wen Qing laughed heartily: "My dear, just put your heart back in your stomach. The princess is not a cannibal. It's just that I saw your new bride was beautiful, so I couldn't help but want to make friends with her."
"You know, Qinyang is just like that. He likes good-looking people. You can rest assured. Even if you don't want to, you don't have to make up such a lie to deceive me."
Qin Xuanzhi frowned slightly and bowed, "I am not lying. My new wife is indeed pregnant. She has been pregnant for over a month."
Qin Xuanzhi's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
Wen Qingdi's face darkened almost instantly, followed by a huge sense of panic.
He, he can have children and holds military power. If, if he wants to rebel in the future, it will be easy.
After all, Qin Xuanzhi had been fighting for many years and was very popular among the people. He was unlike this mediocre emperor who had neither merits nor faults and was not loved by the people.
The muscles in his temples began to throb and he felt a splitting headache.
Looking at Emperor Wen Qing's gloomy expression, Qin Xuanzhi knew that he was doubting his loyalty.
So, he took the initiative and pulled out the tiger talisman and the token for commanding the Qin army from his bosom: "Thanks to your majesty's kindness, Xuanzhi was granted such a good wife in marriage."
"I am willing to voluntarily hand over my military power and retire to the mountains with my new bride."
His expression was sincere, without any trace of overstepping the bounds.
It seems that he really wants to hand over military power.
He wanted to hand it over, but Emperor Wen Qing didn't want it now, but that was only the case now.
He still has to rely on Qin Xuanzhi to fight for him. If he really gets angry and retires to the mountains, then this country with no one to use will probably be destroyed soon.
Qin Xuanzhi is a good sword, with the blade facing the enemy and the back of the sword facing the owner. As long as he keeps the blade facing the enemy for one day, he can still keep his life.
Emperor Wen Qing laughed heartily and patted his shoulder vigorously: "My dear, since your new wife is pregnant, you should spend some time with her and stop talking about retiring to the mountains."
"Otherwise, it would be so chilling to tell others about it, wouldn't it?"
Qin Xuanzhi had a calm expression and said nothing.
Emperor Wen Qing was a little embarrassed, but he still took the initiative to offer a way out: "Tell me, what favor do you want to ask for your new bride?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuanzhi's eyes lit up. He knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I ask you to grant my new bride an imperial decree that she need not kneel or salute anyone except Your Majesty."
Emperor Wen Qing agreed after a brief thought. Qin Xuanzhi had been free and unrestrained all these years. Although he was invincible, he had no weaknesses and was difficult to control.
Now that he has someone who cares about him, it is also a great thing.
After all, if he wants to rebel in the future, he will have to think twice. After all, he has a wife and children, so he is not alone.
He had used Qin Xuanzhi for so many years, so he naturally knew that he valued feelings the most. He would not watch his wife and children fall into that forbidden place that everyone despised because of him.
"Okay, I promise you. It seems that you, my dear, are truly devoted to your new bride. In all these years, you have never asked me for anything."
Qin Xuanzhi remained indifferent: "Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty!"
That afternoon, the imperial edict conferring Tang Wan the title of First-Rank Lady was passed down. Except for special circumstances when meeting His Majesty, she did not have to kneel or salute when meeting anyone.
The news spread throughout the capital in an instant, making all the noble ladies in the capital extremely envious.
Look at her, it hasn’t been long since she got married but she has already captured her husband’s heart. Who is General Qin?
In all these years, when have I ever asked for grace from Your Majesty?
This was the first time he asked for grace from His Majesty, and it was for his new bride.
Anyone who sees it will be envious.
Qin Xuanzhi and Tang Wan were happy, but some court officials were not very happy.
The wife of one of the third-rank officials threw his pillow and quilt out of the room, saying sarcastically, "Over the years, I've been so devoted to you, and you, on the other hand, asked for an imperial decree for your mother and an imperial decree for your grandmother."
"As the wife of the first wife who works like a slave, I really don't get any benefits at all. Look at General Qin. Although he is a little ugly, he is really good to his wife!"
The third-rank official held the brocade quilt and saw that his wife was angry, so he ran over to comfort her.
When he was finally about to catch up with the man, the door slammed shut. He didn't gain any benefit at all, but was instead frustrated.
His eyes were filled with anger, and he couldn't help but curse: "Damn Qin Xuanzhi, who is he putting on this show for?"
As a result, he was kicked out by his wife, who was very strict with him, so he didn't even have a concubine! His mother and grandmother thought that his wife was marrying down and didn't want to let her down, so they sided with her.
He felt like a bag of cabbages rotting in the ground, unloved by his mother and unloved by his grandmother.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. He could only go to the study to sleep with his quilt in his arms, feeling aggrieved.
..............
“Bitch!!!!” Qin Yang’s eyes were red, and he threw the porcelain on the table to the ground with his sleeve.
Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, her teeth chattered, and she couldn't stop the anger in her heart.
