Three months after Su Rong ascended the throne, the Emperor of Liang recovered from illness, and Prince Yan Huisheng ascended the throne. At the same time, he sealed the title of Empress Hua.
In the same year, the Emperor of Wei was seriously ill. Prince Yuan Zhao ascended the throne and made Crown Princess Luo Yan his queen.
This year, happy events came out of the three countries, and congratulations were exchanged. The three countries were harmonious and had friendly relations, as if the war had never been fought before.
But everyone knows that secretly, everyone is preparing for war. Nanchu and Daliang developed their national strength, enriched their country and strengthened their army, and prospered. The Wei Dynasty was under great pressure, and Prince Yuan Zhao was very diligent, selecting and appointing talented people, and giving high priority to talented people, which also showed the greatness of the country.
Nangong Zheng's talent made him stand out from the numerous Wei aristocratic families and take the first place, and he became more and more valued by Yuan Zhao. The second prince Yuan Chen was granted the title of King Chen, and he was also determined to assist Yuan Zhao to prosper the Wei Dynasty.
Everyone knows that there will be a war in ten years, but what Yuan Zhao is most afraid of is that Su Rong and Yan Huisheng will not wait until ten years later.
So, secretly, he tried his best to place spies in Nanchu and Daliang, and create some unrest in Nanchu and Daliang from time to time.
Concerning Nanchu’s spy, he trusted Nangong Zheng and gave him full responsibility. Regarding Daliang's spies, he personally sent people to take action, and he really caused a lot of trouble.
Yan Huisheng was not a vegetarian either. He also treated others in his own way, which also caused several chaos in the Wei Dynasty. Su Rong even responded with blood for blood and tooth for tooth, sending people to assassinate Yuan Zhao several times. On one occasion, Yuan Zhao was even seriously injured.
The three countries worked together to stir up troubles behind the scenes. Faced with the two countries working together to deal with the Wei Dynasty behind the scenes, Yuan Zhao could only grit his teeth and hold on. He also made several attempts to drive a wedge between the two countries, but they were all shattered. Yan Huisheng and Su Rong's relationship remains monolithic and unaffected.
Emperor Liang and the Queen of Nanchu wrote letters every month, exchanging information, although most of the Queen's letters were written by Wang Fu.
After Duanhua and Yan Huisheng's wedding, there was not much difference from before they left the cabinet, except for the change in status. After two years of marriage, she was still the same as her charming daughter. Apart from being more gentle and no longer so arrogant and domineering, she had not changed much.
This is the result of Yan Huisheng's deliberate connivance. Even though Duanhua wanted to be a good crown prince and queen, and learn to be dignified and virtuous, in Yan Huisheng's eyes, it was not necessary. He is a strong person and does not need his crown princess to change anything in order to be a good crown princess and queen. She can just be herself.
Therefore, even after giving birth to a prince and the prince was one year old, Duanhua was still the same person who ate more than half of a plate of grapes by herself and only gave one or two to her son. She watched her son look at her with watery eyes and an accusatory look on his face, but she did not care. Holding the plate guiltily, he said that the rest belongs to your father. Your father is too tired to take care of the country, and your mother is too tired to give birth to you. We should eat more, but you can't do anything now, you are just a freeloader. , one or two would be good, and successfully made the little prince swallow back his tears and close his mouth.
Yan Huisheng looked at the mother and son in a funny way, and helplessly put his forehead on his head, "Duanhua, you bullied Chou Chou again."
Yes, the little prince’s nickname is Chou Chou. Because he heard that Su Rong had given birth to a daughter, Duanhua told Yan Huisheng that she would have this nickname when she gave birth to a daughter. Yan Huisheng smiled and let her go.
Poor little prince, he is obviously very beautiful, but he is called Chou Chou. So after he became wise, he still suspected that there was something wrong with the eyes of his father and mother because of his nickname. What was wrong with him?
Chou Chou’s nickname is Yan Rui.
Seeing Yan Huisheng coming, Xiao Yanrui turned around and hugged his legs. He raised his face and complained aggrievedly, "Father, my mother is bullying me again."
Duanhua suddenly felt guilty.
The palace was really too deserted. She had nothing to do, and she couldn't always go out to play. After all, she was the queen. After giving birth to a son, she could only play with him.
Yan Huisheng picked him up funny, sat down, put him on his lap, and turned to look at Duan Hua with a smile.
Duan Hua looked at the sky and the earth, but not at Yan Hui Hui. His eyes were empty and he whispered, "Don't I feel sorry for you? If the grapes are eaten by the two of us, what will you eat?" Yan Hui Hui laughed angrily, "Xin There are more than ten baskets of grapes presented as tribute, but you two have to fight to eat this one, what's the point?"
Duanhua coughed and immediately put the plate into Yan Rui's hand, "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I just remembered, son, I'll give it to you."
Yan Rui took the plate, snorted with a small nose, pinched a grape, and put it into Yan Huisheng's mouth, "Father, eat the grapes."
Yan Huishei opened his mouth to hold it in his mouth and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you very much."
At the same time, he also peeled a grape and stuffed it into Yan Rui's mouth. Yan Rui also smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, father."
Duan Hua looked at her with hot eyes, hey, as expected, father and son are closer, not her little cotton-padded jacket. It would be great if she gave birth to a daughter. She really wanted to exchange daughters with Su Rong. I heard that Chu An was only three years old, and she was playing well with the two-handed sword specially made for her by Zhou Gu. However, her son was born a little later, only one and a half years old. I just learned to walk and it wasn’t very fun yet.
She has not seen Su Rong for nearly five years.
Just as she was thinking, Yan Huisheng suddenly peeled a grape and stuffed it into her mouth. Duanhua suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin."
She was suddenly brought back from her thoughts of running away from the sky. When she looked at the father and son's identical eyebrows, she was immediately overflowing with happiness. She had never dreamed before that she would marry the prince's cousin and now become his queen. She would be pampered and tolerated by her. The sixth palace was vacant and she was the only one. Even her mother was jealous when she saw it. Even everyone in the capital said that she had a good life.
Because my cousin clearly told the person who advised him to choose a concubine in the court that he only has a queen and no concubines in the sixth palace. If anyone advises him again, he will be the emperor. From that day on, no courtier dared to remonstrate.
She leaned over and reached out to pull Yan Huisheng's arm, holding her in her arms and leaning against him, "Cousin, I miss Su Rong."
Yan Huisheng turned to look at her, "It's almost time."
Duan Hua blinked and asked, "Is she coming back soon to visit the bride?"
"no."
Duanhua was puzzled, "What's so fast?"
Yan Huisheng whispered: "We are almost ready to attack the Wei Dynasty. After taking the Wei Dynasty, Nanchu and Daliang will form a century-old alliance to create a world of peace and prosperity. When the two countries meet, either she will come to the Wei Dynasty, or I will I’ll take you to Nanchu to have a look.”
Duan Hua suddenly became excited, "Is it so fast?"
It’s only been five years.
Yan responded with a "hmm", "Yeah, I didn't expect it either."
He also received Su Rong's handwritten letter today and found out that she had buried Nangong Zheng's secret chess piece with Zhou Gu five years ago.
Now, Nanchu is ready for war. Daliang can allow him at most half a year to prepare for war. If it is quick, the two countries can join forces and start a war against Wei at the beginning of next year. (End of chapter)
