Chapter 166 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (33)
No matter how jealous, puzzled, or dissatisfied others are—
Amidst the clamor of gongs and drums and the bustling atmosphere, a ten-mile-long red wedding procession marched forward. Qingwu, dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress and a dazzling phoenix crown, got married.
When the bride's face was finally revealed to everyone, everyone present exclaimed in amazement as if they had just woken up from a dream.
I see.
The Ningyuan Marquisate is indeed lucky.
With such a beautiful daughter, what can't you get?
If Qingwu knew what they were thinking, she would probably sneer at them.
It is true that God has given her an enviable beautiful face, but if she is not good at planning and calculating, this outstanding appearance will not only fail to be a help, but will most likely become a heavy burden.
She used her beauty as a weapon to tame the most ferocious and majestic lion.
It can even make the supreme, proud and unruly dragon willingly lower its noble head.
Just like today, even the usually brave and fearless Huo Tingye was bewildered when faced with Qingwu's charming beauty.
He was completely unable to find the north-south direction and was completely immersed in her gentle love.
At this moment, Huo Tingye was filled with joy and emotion. He had never experienced such an extremely happy and beautiful moment in his life.
He always felt that he was happy enough, but Qingwu could make him even happier.
In this life, he will never be able to let Qingwu go.
——He loves her so much.
The Huo Mansion was filled with love, which formed a sharp contrast with the cold and suffocating East Palace.
Of course, Xia Lingxiao would not attend Huo Tingye and Qing Wu's wedding.
The huge palace was empty, without a single person in sight.
Xia Lingxiao stood alone in the room, waving his hand to signal everyone to leave.
His eyes were fixed on the snow-white rice paper in front of him, and he did not look away for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly picked up the pen and wrote a line on the paper with solemn strokes.
This line of words is exactly the one that has been lingering in my mind lately and cannot be shaken off:
——"Obsession will bring disaster, and forcing others to hold on to what you love will bring you disaster."
Obsession...compulsion...
It's just an obsession, just break it.
Force?
Can't force it?
Oh.
He is Jun.
There is something he cannot force.
Not long after Qingwu and Huo Tingye got married, the emperor passed away.
The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so as the crown prince, Xia Lingxiao naturally inherited the throne and ascended the throne.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, all the civil and military officials in the court came to the rescue, urging His Majesty to take in more concubines as soon as possible to enrich the harem so as to produce heirs and continue the royal bloodline.
Faced with the advice of his ministers, Xia Lingxiao flatly refused on the grounds that his father had just passed away and he needed to observe mourning for three years.
Xia Lingxiao acted decisively and issued a series of policy measures that benefited the country and the people.
From then on, a brand new dynasty began under the rule of Xia Lingxiao.
The new emperor was extremely capable and skillful. With lightning speed, he completely wiped out all the ills and unhealthy tendencies that had accumulated within the dynasty for a long time.
Those corrupt officials who used to be lawless and oppressed the common people were punished one after another according to the law. Some were thrown into prison, and some were directly sentenced to death.
As a result, the entire dynasty, from top to bottom, presented a brand new atmosphere.
In the court, many ministers were filled with awe when facing this new king who was young but extremely decisive and ruthless.
I am silent as a cicada and follow your Majesty's lead.
On the contrary, General Huo, who used to have a very good relationship with Xia Lingxiao, who was still the crown prince, has now become gradually alienated from His Majesty for some reason.
Just as the world was at peace, General Huo took leave, saying that he wanted to travel around the country with his newlywed wife.
The already extremely tense and oppressive atmosphere in the court became even more intense at this moment, as if invisible sharp blades were intertwining and colliding in the air, flashing cold light, which was creepy and chilling.
Many ministers sighed inwardly. They had served as officials for many years, but had never personally experienced such a solemn and dignified moment, as if even breathing had stopped.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two sides are on the verge of a showdown.
Some people began to speculate wildly about the reasons, and all kinds of rumors spread everywhere after the court session.
Some people said that General Huo was suspected by the new emperor because of his great achievements.
Some people also believe that General Huo felt that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, and wanted to get away from the trouble as soon as possible;
There were also rumors that General Huo's wife had offended the powerful in the palace, so she had to leave the capital...
For a while, various statements emerged one after another, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Three years later.
Inside the general's mansion.
Unlike the general's mansion that was empty and somewhat deserted in the past, the general's mansion is now full of lush green trees and colorful flowers that are competing for beauty.
"What is Awu doing?" An outstanding man and woman, like a fairy couple, were snuggling together and whispering in each other's ears.
The man was tall and straight, with an extraordinary temperament. He was dressed in an exquisite and gorgeous black brocade robe, and a white jade belt inlaid with jade and gems was tightly tied around his waist, which made him look tall and handsome.
His face was as firm and stern as if it had been carefully carved by a knife and an axe, with clear lines and a pair of eyes that were so deep and sharp that people dared not look directly at him.
But when these cold eyes looked at his wife beside him, they instantly turned into a pool of spring water, filled with endless tenderness and love.
The woman's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her eyebrows were as green as distant mountains, her skin was as clear as snow, and her lips were naturally red. Just a casual glance at her was enough to make people fall in love with her.
Huo Tingye gently wrapped his arms around the beauty's slender and soft waist, and his other hand gently stroked her silky and smooth hair.
"Oh, husband...you..." The delicate kiss was tinged with piety and lingered on the jade neck.
Qing Wu was helpless. She shyly nudged Huo Tingye beside her and whispered coquettishly, "It's not night yet."
"Well, but I can't wait until night, Awu, please have pity on your husband."
With a low and magnetic voice, Huo Tingye coaxed softly. He first leaned over slightly and kissed her cheek as pink as a petal, as lightly as a dragonfly touching the water.
Then gradually, a string of dense and affectionate kisses fell like raindrops.
The clothes were gently taken off layer by layer...
