Over night, things took a turn for the worse.
No one understood why the Qin Kingdom, which had been on the verge of collapse, suddenly started fighting back like a man possessed, and with such momentum.
The official story was that the crown princess had been planning a rebellion, and had even enlisted foreign help to attack her own country.
The emperor was so angry that he died, the mother of Pingyang Marquis committed suicide for her country, and Pingyang Marquis, unable to bear the humiliation, angrily raised an army and returned to the capital
Before he died, the old emperor left a will, in which he decreed that Shen Nuo would become the first and only male emperor in the history of Yue. On the day he ascended the throne, he bestowed the title of Pingyang Prince on Pingyang Marquis and married him.
In history, some people may speculate whether Pingyang Marquis lost the world at his fingertips because of his beauty. However, I am afraid that no one present that day would have suspected this. Because the normally deeply-reserved Pingyang Hou Shen Da gave off such a cold aura that everyone could clearly feel it, while her companion Shen Nuo was like a warm spring sun, smiling warmly. Paired with his exquisite appearance, he was simply intoxicating to every pore.
Shen Nuo gently took Junxu’s hand and looked at him lovingly
‘I look forward to your return.’
Junxu’s eyes were cold
‘I hope that when you return from the expedition, you can get to know His Majesty’s other wife.‘
Shen Nuo’s face changed slightly, and his eyes curved up again
’The expedition was hard work, you must be careful and watch your health. The soldiers have been promoted two ranks for their military exploits, and those without military exploits have also been rewarded with money. Is the wife satisfied?‘
’Your Majesty is wise.‘
Shen Nuo gently frowned, coughed, and sighed slightly
’I’ll wait for you to return.’
The newlywed Prince changed from his wedding clothes directly to his battle attire. The army set off in a mighty procession. Shen Nuo stood on the high palace wall, his gaze following the bright brocade golden-threaded dragon-patterned red battle robe of Junxu. However, the wife never even turned her head once.
Shen Nuo’s trusted aide coldly said
“Your Majesty, this person really doesn’t know how to behave.’
Shen Nuo’s eyes, which looked like smoke and mist, flashed with a sharp light, and the woman immediately shut up. Shen Nuo turned his face and softened his gaze. The winter sun was still dazzling, and Shen Nuo placed his hand on his forehead
‘The dragon is blocked, so naturally it is discontented. Even a small obstacle will make it lose its temper. I want to be tolerant of the world, so how can I not put up with this little bit of selfishness?’
“My lord, there is absolutely no need for you to put up with her. Besides, her face is ruined.’
‘Face? It’s a real name. A woman of talent doesn’t need to use her face to conquer the world. Ridiculous. If I, Shen Nuo, were to judge people by their appearance, I wouldn’t be in the position I am in today.
Shen Nuo slightly raised the corners of his mouth
“Besides, no one’s face can compare to mine. Prince Pingyang has the ability to understand the world and the heavens. To use the phrase “a general who becomes prime minister” is to underestimate her. Apart from her, is there anyone else who is worthy of me? No one can sleep peacefully next to the bed, not her, not me. The only people who can be by my side are my wife and I.‘
