Quick Wear: The host is a jerk again and runs away

Chapter 224 Princess Qingcheng 24

……

After Xue Yi and Xie Yunya finished the ceremony in the palace, it was almost dusk.

They rode together in a sedan chair and paraded through the streets straight to the prime minister's residence.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, red silk is hung high, wedding couplets are posted, lanterns and decorations are hung, and red candles are lit, and every place is bright and festive.

Xie Yunya carefully held Xue Yi's hand and brought her down from the sedan chair. They offered tea to Xie Yuan together.

Of course, only Xie Yuan enjoyed this treatment. Xie Yunya's mother was no longer around, and there was no prime minister's wife in the prime minister's mansion now, only a few concubines.

Naturally, a concubine was not worthy of Xue Yi serving tea to her. Even with Xue Yi's current status, she served tea to Xie Yuan only out of consideration for Xie Yunya's sake.

After they served tea, they exchanged a few words with Xie Yuan and then set off for the princess's mansion.

The road was neither long nor short. When the breeze blew by, the two held hands tightly, never wanting to separate again.

They sat in the sedan chair, feeling the evening breeze to soothe their hearts.

The two of them held hands tightly under their red wedding dresses, and they could clearly feel each other's pulse and heartbeat.

Plop, plop, faster and faster.

The road soon came to an end, and they stepped down from the sedan chair, walking hand in hand into the rest of their lives together.

Xue Yi and Xie Yunya were of noble status, so Emperor Wen granted them permission not to attend the banquet.

They dismissed the attendants and slowly stepped into the bridal chamber.

This was built by Emperor Wen according to the standards of Yuehua Palace. The room is very spacious, and the beds, tables and chairs are made of the best wood.

Xie Yunya let go of her hand and gently removed her veil, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

His expression was gloomy and his ears began to turn red.

She is so beautiful...

Xue Yi smiled, and said in a frivolous tone, "Husband?"

Xie Yunya was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he became completely nervous.

"lady."

His voice was slightly hoarse and his eyes were evasive, somewhat afraid to look at her.

Tonight is their wedding night...

Seeing the shy and nervous look on the man's face, Xue Yi chuckled and said, "Help me take off the phoenix crown and shawl."

"Yeah." The man answered softly, and they both walked to the mirror. He clumsily took off her luxurious gold hairpins and heavy phoenix crown.

Feeling the weight disappear, Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It was so heavy that it hurt her neck.

Xie Yunya looked at his beloved girl in the mirror and saw her relieved expression, with a hint of smile between his brows.

"Are you tired?"

"A little bit. My neck hurts from the pressure." Xue Yi answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Xie Yunya began to pinch Xueyi's shoulders and rub the back of her neck with loving care. The strength was just right and exactly what Xueyi wanted. After a while, Xueyi squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Xie Yunya slowly stopped and took off his golden crown. His black hair fell down and intertwined with Xue Yi's black hair.

He helped Xue Yi take off her shawl, hung it on the rack, and then hugged her gently.

"Arou, you finally became my wife." His voice was slightly choked, filled with deep attachment and love.

Xue Yi patted his back gently, then slowly wrapped her arms around his waist, and with her small hands she lightly untied the belt for her.

She smiled like a flower and said in a tender voice, "Husband, it's time to rest."

……

After the two got married, the whole country of Daxia celebrated, but the atmosphere in Xuanzheng Hall was solemn.

Emperor Wen was lying on the dragon bed. There were a large number of imperial doctors standing in the hall, but they were all helpless.

Xia Shaoheng knelt beside the bed, suppressing his anger, "How can it be incurable?! What's the point of the Imperial Hospital keeping you!"

He roared, and the imperial doctors immediately fell to their knees.

Emperor Wen forced a smile of relief on his weathered face.

"Shao Heng, don't vent your anger on others. I already knew that my time was coming."

"Father..." Xia Shaoheng's eyes were red, but he didn't know what to do.

Emperor Wen was very relaxed. "The only thing I am worried about is An Xia and you. Now An Xia has married her beloved, and I have no regrets."

"I just can't wait for you to get married..."

Xia Shaoheng knelt, gently holding Emperor Wen's weak and weathered hand.

"Father, don't go..."

"Please protect Anxia for me. If she is wronged in the future, you must consider her." Emperor Wen reached out and touched Xia Shaoheng's head a few times.

This was the first time in more than a decade that the father and son had been so close, but it was because his time was running out and he was saying his final goodbyes to his son.

"Shao Heng, guard Da Xia for me..." He was already at the end of his strength. Worry and excessive fatigue had already drained his body.

Emperor Wen's hand dropped from the air, the sound stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement.

This was the first time Xia Shaoheng cried out loud in front of outsiders, "Father..."

……

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the twenty-seventh year of the Xia calendar, Emperor Xia Wen died in his bedroom, and the whole country of Daxia mourned.

Crown Prince Xia Shaoheng ascended the throne and changed the reign title to "Dingxia". He stabilized the court and seized military power with lightning speed. During the reign of Emperor Xia Wen, he put the people first, and the people lived in peace and prosperity, free from the flames of war. He was posthumously named Wen Zhong.

After Emperor Heng ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty and named Princess Anxia as "Princess Dingxia", a first-rank official, and granted her the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

The prime minister's legitimate son Xie Yunya was appointed as the new prime minister. He inherited his father's career at a young age. The former prime minister Xie Yuan returned home to enjoy his old age.

There was a major reshuffle of power in the court, and all disloyal people were eradicated by Emperor Heng without mercy, and he also cleared out some of the corruption and filth that was hidden deep in the Great Xia.

At the same time, a powerful force suddenly emerged in the Kingdom of Nanyue.

Their once missing Fourth Prince Jun Liche reappeared in the sight of the people of Nanyue. The 30,000 shadow riders behind him could fight against a hundred enemies at a time, and they were unstoppable.

This man was extremely ruthless and had a unique vision. In just half a year, he successfully seized most of the power and economic lifeline of the Nanyue Kingdom. However, he did not seize the throne, but chose to be regent.

Everyone in South Vietnam knew the title of the Regent King, and the terrifying Shadow Knights behind him were even more elusive. Some ministers who were corrupt and took bribes suddenly died at home, silently.

There was also a major reshuffle in the Nanyue court, and Jun Liche, an honest and upright official, was promoted to the court. Not only did the whole country of Nanyue know the name of the regent, but his deeds also became famous.

Not only does he have countless Shadow Riders behind him, he also has an army of 700,000 strong in South Vietnam.

Soon his name spread to the surrounding countries and small forces, and Xia Shaoheng, Xue Yi and Xie Yunya naturally also received the news.

They didn't expect that the palace maid with extraordinary appearance was actually the fourth prince of Nanyue who was abandoned in childhood.

The South Vietnamese royal family did not shy away from this matter, and it could be easily discovered with a simple investigation.

When Concubine Zhen of Nanyue gave birth to a son, she was originally very much loved. However, as Jun Liche grew up, his facial features were completely different from those of the Emperor of Nanyue, which naturally violated a taboo.

Although they don't necessarily have to look alike, the father and son cannot be completely unrelated.

But Jun Liche was indeed the child born after Concubine Zhen had been pregnant for ten months and had to avoid countless attacks. Unfortunately, the Emperor of Nanyue was suspicious by nature and directly drove the eleven-year-old Jun Liche out of the Nanyue Palace.

He still said in front of Zhenfei that the child was a bastard. Zhenfei was unwilling to be humiliated and was heartbroken to say goodbye to her own flesh and blood, so she eventually hanged herself.

The little Jun Liche wandered around in Nanyue, and finally entered the Daxia Palace by chance. He was bullied all the time until he met Xue Yi, and his life gradually got better.

She sent him to school to learn literacy and martial arts. He lived up to everyone's expectations and avenged his mother, while becoming the regent of South Vietnam, a name that goes down in history.

Xue Yi couldn't help but sigh as she watched the story unfold.

[As fate would have it, the little darling eventually became the regent, but of South Vietnam.]

[Master, you and Jun Liche haven't seen each other for a long time. ]

Xue Yi lay on the chaise longue and raised her eyebrows.

Yes, it has been half a year since she last saw Jun Liche. Except for the time when he secretly hid behind the palace wall and saw her on her wedding day, he disappeared from her sight.

Unexpectedly, he returned to South Vietnam...

During the past six months, Xia Shaoheng finally took control of all power and became a calm and restrained emperor.

Many ministers petitioned him to have children as soon as possible in order to fill the harem of Daxia, but he refused them all and angrily said that the matter should never be mentioned again.

No one knows that there has long been an untouchable figure occupying his heart, and he will never accept anyone else in his life.

Even if she doesn't have a place for him in her heart, he will guard her body and soul and be willing to look up at her back.

Nan Rou, I will always be behind you.

As long as I am here, you will always be the most honorable princess of Da Xia.
