【secret? 】
[Yes, the Queen's secret. ]
Everyone raised their eyebrows and thought to themselves, is this the first time that Lord Jiang has eaten the Queen's melon?
From Xiaogua's tone, one could tell that the Queen's secret was not simple.
Can they really listen?
Hmm... Your Majesty, why didn't you stop it?
Shocked?
After hearing what the system said, Jiang Yueyang suddenly remembered that Xiaogua said he wanted to eat melon a few days ago, and that melon would rub salt into His Majesty's wounds.
Could that melon be the Queen’s secret?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueyang immediately asked: [What secrets does the Queen have? ]
Emperor Yuan came back to his senses and wanted to announce the end of the court session right away, but he was also torn as he wanted to know the Queen's secret.
Just as he was struggling, the system lowered its voice and said mysteriously: [The Queen... has been married! ]
Just as he finished speaking, there was a thud, and the tablet in Duke Su's hand fell to the ground.
Because everyone present was shocked by what the system had just said, the hall was very quiet, and the voice seemed particularly clear.
Jiang Yueyang instinctively looked over when he heard the sound, and saw the tablet fell to the ground, wondering: [What happened to Duke Su? ]
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials came back to their senses instantly.
Emperor Yuan called Duke Suguo unhappily, and Duke Suguo immediately bent down to pick up the tablet on the ground, and said with a folded hand: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I just had a cramp in my hand."
After hearing this reason, Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials felt that the words were somehow familiar.
The next second, they remembered.
When Lord Xiao Jiang first came to court, he wanted to impeach the late Minister Lin, but Duke Su accidentally cut in line, which made Lord Xiao Jiang unhappy.
In order to prevent Lady Xiao Jiang from thinking about him, Duke Su used the excuse of leg cramp to let her speak first.
Jiang Yueyang also remembered the cramps and shook her head, "Duke Su is really old, either his legs or his hands are cramping. Your Majesty is the same, you don't even know how to let him retire, you are such a prankster!"
Emperor Yuan: “…” It’s his fault again.
Emperor Yuan snorted inwardly and raised his hand towards Duke Su. "Even if it's just a cramp, that's it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After this little episode, Jiang Yueyang turned his attention back to the Queen's secret.
Thinking of what the system just said about the Queen being married, she couldn't help but said in shock: [I didn't expect that the Queen was married before marrying Your Majesty, just like Queen Cao.]
All the civil and military officials secretly glanced at Emperor Yuan sitting on the dragon throne, and secretly agreed with Jiang Yueyang's words.
Not only did you not expect it, but His Majesty and we also did not expect it!
But...who is Queen Cao?
Emperor Yuan felt mixed emotions. The Queen had actually hidden such a big thing from him, and there was also the Shangguan family.
Their whole family teamed up to deceive him!
System: [No, no, no, the Queen and Queen Cao are not the same. The Queen is truly married, but Queen Cao has not completed the marriage ceremony with the other party, so it cannot be considered as marriage.]
[Who did the Queen marry before, and why did she marry Your Majesty later? ]
The system replied: [The Queen’s first husband was Qin Huai, her father’s student. They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts.
The Queen's father liked Qin Huai very much, and everyone in the Shangguan family tacitly agreed that the Queen would marry Qin Huai in the future.
The two parties also knew from childhood that they would get married when they grew up.
Although the country was in turmoil and wars were raging everywhere at the time, their wedding was still held as scheduled.
Unexpectedly, on the night of their wedding, when they were preparing to have a baby together, other rebels attacked them. Qin Huai led his troops to fight, but unfortunately died in battle.
Jiang Yueyang glanced at the prince and asked uncertainly: [So, they haven't had their wedding night yet, right? ]
Hearing Jiang Yueyang's question, Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials held their breath unconsciously, nervously waiting for the system's answer.
The prince clenched his fists. If the answer was not what he wanted, then his status as the eldest son...
Prince Yan and the other princes present looked at the Crown Prince worriedly.
System: [No, the Queen was still a virgin when she married the Emperor.]
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Yuan, all the civil and military officials, as well as the Crown Prince and others, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yueyang also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glanced at Emperor Yuan who was sitting on the dragon throne, and asked: [Xiaogua, do His Majesty and the Left Prime Minister know about this? ]
【They don’t know.】
Jiang Yueyang's eyes widened slightly, [How could they hide the fact that the Queen had been married? ]
[Because not many people knew about this, and except for a few people from the Shangguan family, everyone else died in the battle.]
Jiang Yueyang suddenly lowered her eyes in sadness, [So this is how it is…]
[As for why the queen married the emperor, it was because the Shangguan family and several other rebel forces later supported the late emperor to become emperor, and the Shangguan family made a huge contribution to this.
The emperor was able to defeat Prince Rong and be canonized as the crown prince, which was not without the help of the Shangguan family. Of course, the late emperor also valued the emperor.】The system continued.
Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [I remember you said that everyone thought that Prince Rong would be made the crown prince. Then why did the Shangguan family take the risk and choose Your Majesty?
If the late emperor appoints Prince Rong as the crown prince, wouldn't the Shangguan family miss out on the position of queen? 】
Emperor Yuan was also very curious about this question.
He fell in love with the queen at first sight and wanted to marry her, but he felt that the Shangguan family would not marry the queen to him.
After much hesitation, he decided to follow his heart and personally went to ask for marriage. Unexpectedly, the Shangguan family agreed.
He couldn't understand why the Shangguan family didn't choose Prince Rong, who had a better chance of winning, but chose him, an unpopular prince.
