"Lizhou?"
When Yuan Shaojun saw the transfer order, his face turned extremely grim. "Why would His Majesty let me go to Lizhou? I...if I leave, what will happen to the women at home?!"
"Don't worry, young general. His Majesty has made all the arrangements for you. All the women of the Yuan family can accompany you to Lizhou. Even the house there has been prepared for you. We are just waiting for General Yuan to move in with his family."
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was quite respectful.
But when he heard this, Yuan Shaojun's face turned pale.
Although he is a little mediocre, he is not a fool. How can he not see that the emperor finds him an eyesore?
If others got his job, they would definitely be delighted, but Yuan Shaojun understood that if he was exiled, it would be impossible for him to return to Beijing in this lifetime.
"Your Majesty, when will I take office?"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict heard the bitterness in Yuan Shaojun's voice and could only shake his head helplessly in his heart. Everyone knew that the future queen was once a wife of the Yuan family.
You can't marry the queen and then keep your ex-husband around to be an eyesore.
Giving him a good job and settling him in the relatively prosperous Lizhou is already a great kindness from the current emperor.
If the emperor of the previous dynasty were in Yuan Shaojun's position, I'm afraid the lives of the whole family would be lost. The eunuch bowed solemnly and said, "After the Thousand Courts Meeting is over, please invite General Yuan to take up his post."
"Aren't you allowed to pass the festival every year?"
Jiang Linglong slumped down in the chair with an ugly look on her face.
He never expected that before his dream could even come true, he would be driven out of Kyoto with the Yuan family!
Although Lizhou is rich... it is not under the feet of the emperor. Where can she find so many dignitaries? Is there any possibility of receiving an imperial edict in this life?
The entire Yuan family was in a gloomy mood.
No matter how unwilling they are, the imperial decree has been issued and everything is a foregone conclusion!
The Thousand Dynasty Meeting also arrived as scheduled amid Lin Chunhuan's intensive preparations.
"Summoning: Envoys from Fanjiang, Nibo, and Xiyu to an audience!"
Three envoys dressed in strange ways, speaking broken Chinese, saluted the emperor and empress who were high above them. The annual tribute list contained countless rare treasures.
Of course, this alone is definitely not enough.
The Nibean envoy, Aradazhitu, stepped forward and said, "Greetings to the Emperor of Heaven! As a token of our respect for Heaven, I, Nibe, have specially found a fine horse, in addition to three thousand fine horses, to present to you!"
As Arada finished speaking, a peerless snow-white horse was led into the hall. Lin Chunhuan had never seen such a novel thing before.
She had seen many white horses, but one with a coat that looked like it was carved from white jade. Not to mention her, even the emperor, who had conquered the world on horseback and had seen countless fine horses, would have gasped when seeing this horse.
"What a wonderful horse!" the emperor exclaimed, even rising from his seat and walking to the horse. "It is indeed a precious colt, Arada. What is its name?"
Seeing the emperor walk up to the white horse, but the white horse did not react at all, and even rubbed the emperor's palm with its head affectionately, Arada saluted even more respectfully.
You have to know that after they found this horse, countless horse trainers were killed or injured just in the process of taming it.
Finally, an old veteran was asked to use gentle methods to carefully raise the colt day by day and cultivate affection for it, and only then was he able to successfully bring the colt to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Who would have thought that this horse, which was so arrogant and domineering in Nepal, would be so obedient in front of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
For a moment, I just felt that the Ming Dynasty was majestic and unshakable!
"Reporting to the Emperor of Heaven, this horse is called Magnolia White Dragon Colt. Its body is like a swimming dragon, and it lives up to its name!"
Although Arada said this, the faces of the people in the hall were not very good. That was a dragon!
The emperor has always called himself a real dragon. Now a horse is also named after a dragon. It would be strange if the ministers could look happy. The horse is a good horse.
That’s not how you compare it!
Just when Arada was bewildered, Lin Chunhuan chuckled. Hearing this chuckle, the emperor's expression softened a bit. "Huan'er, why are you so happy?"
"I am naturally happy for Your Majesty."
Lin Chunhuan stood up and slowly walked down the platform to stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor.
Although she had not been in the palace for long, under the guidance of the empress dowager, her aura had changed dramatically compared to when she was the wife of the Yuan family.
Although still beautiful.
But her beauty in the past might have attracted covetous glances, but now she carries the majesty of a queen, a subtle oppression. Even if this majesty is not very strong, it cannot help but attract the attention of the villains. "This horse was named White Dragon Colt in Nibo. Now that Nibo Khan has presented this colt to His Majesty, isn't it a recognition of the majesty of our Ming Dynasty and its inviolability?"
"But now that we are within the borders of the Ming Kingdom, it would be inappropriate to call it a dragon colt. I see that this colt is as white as jade, carved from snow-white jade. It roars like a lion, and can return home in a day after a thousand miles. How about calling it the Jade Lion of the Night?"
Arada was already sweating profusely.
Although he was not very proficient in Han culture, as an envoy, he knew a little about it. After Lin Chunhuan's reminder, he now fully understood why those people looked so ugly.
He immediately bowed to Lin Chunhuan and said, "Thank you, Queen of Heaven, for naming this horse!"
“What a great name!”
The emperor was also very happy. If it weren't for his Huan'er's interruption, this matter would have been difficult to get away with. He could see that the Nibo envoy had no intention, but it was really difficult for him to pinch his nose and mistake a horse for a dragon.
Holding Lin Chunhuan's hand tightly, the emperor took a deep breath, "The Queen is truly my sweetheart!"
"The Empress is as beautiful as a fairy and has unparalleled intelligence. She is a great blessing to the Emperor of Heaven!"
Upon seeing this, Arada quickly flattered her. Besides, he was not just flattering her. The Queen of Ming was indeed a rare beauty in the world. Her every frown and smile was captivating!
However, Niber is just a small country. Although Arada was also amazed at Lin Chunhuan's beauty, he didn't even dare to look at her for a second, for fear that others would think he had some inappropriate thoughts!
"snort!"
Before this happy scene could last long, the envoy from Fanjiang snorted coldly.
As soon as the emperor saw this man, he felt a headache.
"Sir, you seem to be in a difficult position regarding this envoy from the frontier?"
Seeing the dilemma on the emperor's face, Lin Chunhuan asked softly. The emperor could only smile bitterly. "Huan'er, you don't know. Two years ago, during the Thousand Court Meeting, a princess from Fanjiang came and wanted to marry into our dynasty. She insisted on inserting people into my harem."
Lin Chunhuan was stunned when he heard this.
It seemed that such a thing did happen in her memory, but at that time she had just married into the Yuan family and was busy with her own affairs, so naturally she did not pay attention to these things.
But now she has been in charge of the harem for some time, but she has never seen the princess who was married off.
"Ahem... Later, I gave her to the Prime Minister as his wife, but there are not many ministers in my dynasty who hold such a high position as the Prime Minister and are still unmarried. If another princess comes..."
