Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen Qing's face became so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.
"You love your bride, and that's understandable. But today you asked a commoner to save my sister. Do you think you don't respect me, the emperor?"
"I dare not."
There was no extra expression on Qin Xuanzhi's face, but he was extremely unhappy at the moment. Emperor Wen Qing knew exactly what kind of person he was and knew that he hated Qinyang, yet he still treated him so humiliatingly.
Isn't this another kind of humiliation?
"You don't dare? I think you dare very much!" Emperor Wen Qing suddenly became furious, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on Qin Xuanzhi's forehead.
Fortunately, the tea inside was not hot. Although the sharp fragments caused a little blood on his forehead, he was not burned after all.
Tang Wan felt her heart pounding in the tent, as if something bad was about to happen soon.
One side of Qin Xuanzhi's face was soaked by the warm tea, and the front of his clothes was also mostly wet, making him look a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, I will only have one wife in this life. I have no chance with Princess Qinyang. Please, Your Majesty, please do not have such thoughts again."
"I do not have any lofty ambitions. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace. Today, I am willing to hand over all the military power in my hands."
Emperor Wen Qing's eyes were sharp: "Are you saying that my sister is not worthy of you?"
"I have no such intention, but I am not the princess's ideal husband. Besides, I already have a wife at home, and the Qin family does not have the custom of taking concubines."
Emperor Wenqing could hardly control his temper. Looking at the bamboo-like man in front of him, he was burning with rage.
How dare he? How dare he even think of making Qin Yang his concubine?!
She is a princess, his most precious sister.
Qin Xuanzhi's words were undoubtedly humiliating.
However, the world is in turmoil at this time. If Qin Xuanzhi quits at this time, who will clean up the mess?
When his father was in power, he valued civil officials over military officials, which resulted in there being very few talented people available now.
Although he himself was unwilling to admit it, Qin Xuanzhi was indeed a loyal minister.
After a long pause, Emperor Wen Qing forced a smile and said, "This man, Cui Ming, has done a great service in saving me. I will reward you with one hundred taels of gold and one hundred acres of fertile farmland."
"I am Cui Ming, a humble servant. Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Ming bowed politely.
Qin Xuanzhi stood there, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Emperor Wen Qing walked down and personally wiped the blood off his forehead: "My dear Qin, I was just excited for a moment. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Giving a slap and giving a red date is such a good plan.
Qin Xuanzhi lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Thunder, rain, and dew are all grace from the Emperor. I have no reason to complain."
Emperor Wen Qing patted his shoulder with great satisfaction and said, "I am very pleased that you have come to this realization. There is no need to mention resigning and returning home again."
Qin Xuanzhi clasped his hands together and saluted: "Yes."
Because he lowered his head, no one saw the regret in his eyes. He didn't have any big ambitions. He just wanted to live an ordinary and stable life. He even wanted to resign and live in seclusion.
In the past, they went to the battlefield to fight because of the education they received since childhood, the high hopes placed on them, and the desire to fulfill their parents' last wishes.
But he now has a lover, children, and concerns, and on the battlefield, swords and knives are merciless, and one day he might be left with nothing but his body.
Even though he was extremely talented and a rare martial arts prodigy, there were some things that no one could predict. If he died, how would his wife and children cope?
His wife is very weak. If they, an orphan and a widow, were to stay in this world, they would definitely suffer a lot.
He didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.
...........
"Royal brother, are you going to let him go just like that?" Qin Yang's eyes were full of disbelief, and he almost shouted this sentence.
Emperor Wen Qing rubbed his brow helplessly: "He doesn't want to. If I force you to be given to him, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"You are a princess. You can't just consider your own children's personal feelings. You also have to consider the people on the border. Do you understand?"
"But my royal brother, Qin Xuanzhi humiliated me today. Does that mean Qin Yang has to swallow his anger?"
Emperor Wen Qing was so disappointed that he said, "I get angry when I talk about this. If you want to set up a trap, don't you know how to discuss it with me?"
"Who is Qin Xuanzhi? Your cheap tricks are no match for him."
Qin Yang burst into tears: "What should I do? Royal brother? I just want to marry him."
Emperor Wen Qing stroked his sister's hair, his eyes filled with worry. "There are so many handsome men in Beijing, why did you choose him?"
"If you like, you can keep dozens of concubines. I don't believe that none of them can compare to Qin Xuanzhi."
"I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it. Those are just vulgar things. Qin Xuanzhi is different. Royal brother, just like the Royal sister-in-law. She passed away for so many years, and you found so many similar fakes."
"But who can compare to the emperor's sister-in-law!" She said these words while crying, and secretly looked at Emperor Wen Qing's expression.
Although Emperor Wen Qing looked solemn, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was obviously touched.
Yes, after all these years, he still couldn't forget his first wife, so how could he ask Qinyang to just change the person he loved?
"Please allow me to think about this matter. We need to consider it in the long run."
Qin Yang smiled happily upon hearing this: "Thank you, my Royal Brother. I knew that you are the best to me."
