The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 387 His Majesty's Transformation

Yan Ning felt that something was wrong with him when he came back from Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan's wedding banquet.

In the carriage, he seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

Yan Ning asked: "Your Majesty, are you tired? Then let's go and rest."

Qi Hengyuan reached out and held her in his arms, saying sullenly, "Yan Ning, I also want to have a wedding like that with you."

Qi Hengyuan thought again about the situation when Yan Ning entered the palace.

He had no thoughts about her at that time. He arranged her into the harem only because she wanted to be used by him and it was most appropriate to arrange her in the harem. He couldn't make her an official or keep her by his side. After much thought, he could only put her in the harem first.

But even though she was placed in the harem, he never thought of pampering her or developing a romantic relationship with her.

Later, as her abilities became apparent and his mood changed, he gradually promoted her to imperial concubine.

But it's just a reward.

There is no ceremony.

He and she never really got married.

Yan Ning didn't know that this was the reason why His Majesty of Qi had been acting a little strange since he got on the carriage.

She was a little surprised, and at the same time she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

The King of Qi actually wanted to have an ordinary wedding with her.

Yan Ning didn't know how to respond to the king's words, so he had to remain silent.

Qi Hengyuan stopped talking.

Although he complained, he knew that he and Yan Ning would have such a wedding.

When the world is unified and the country is pacified, he will marry her and make her queen.

At that time, there will be a grand wedding waiting for them.

When Qi Hengyuan thought of this, he felt happy again.

He picked up Yan Ning and said, "Go to sleep."

Yan Ning saw that Qi Hengyuan was depressed just now, but he was fine again in the blink of an eye. Thinking that he had cured himself, she couldn't help but find it funny.

But Yan Ning didn't laugh, and followed Qi Hengyuan's words and said: "It is indeed a little late, and I am a little sleepy, let's go to bed."

Qi Hengyuan carried her to the bed, lingered for a while, and then fell asleep with her in his arms.

The next day, Qi Hengyuan went to court as usual. Of the nine border towns, only three had not been taken back, and those three towns still had white flags flying. Uncle Jiang wanted to negotiate, and there was nothing wrong with the border recently.

After discussing some state affairs, they dispersed.

However, Qi Hengyuan still specifically kept Liu Guoxiang, Yang Jing, Fu Shan and other military marquises.

Or is it about preparing for war?

Qi Hengyuan has already ordered Yan Lang, Chen Hong and Chen Dongyan to take the lead in destroying the white flag, but the follow-up matters still need to be discussed.

As soon as I arrived at the imperial study, I saw Chen Dongyan.

Qi Hengyuan raised his eyebrows and signaled Liu Guoxiang and the Wuhou to wait outside the door first. He took Chen Dongyan in first.

After closing the door of the imperial study, Qi Hengyuan asked Chen Dongyan: "Why are you here to work?"

Chen Dongyan asked back, "Your Majesty, don't you want me to take up this position?"

I didn’t tell you in advance!
Qi Hengyuan was somewhat speechless. He looked at him and said, "What I mean is that you just got married yesterday, so there is no need to rush to take up the post. It won't be too late for you to take up the post in the palace after your wife returns home."

Although Ji Yan had no parents, she had an older brother who stayed in Guiyang City. Ji Xianzhang and his wife did not leave immediately. They would probably wait until Chen Dongyan brought Ji Yan back with the gift before returning to Bobei Pass.

Chen Dongyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern and understanding. I did want to accompany Yan'er originally, but Your Majesty and Concubine Yan have worked hard for my wedding. Yan'er and I are very grateful to Your Majesty and Concubine Yan. Yan'er said that we should be grateful and repay the kindness we have received. She also said that she has already married me and we will have many days to spend together in the future, so there is no need to rush. She also said that Your Majesty needs me now and I should take up the position. I think she is right, so I just came." Qi Hengyuan still couldn't understand.

Chen Dongyan actually got up in the morning.

A man has to stay up late when he's newly married, right?

Qi Hengyuan had already had sex with Yan Ning before, but after returning from the border, when he favored Yan Ning for the first time in Yuyang Palace, Qi Hengyuan still indulged in debauchery all night.

So much so that he skipped court the next day.

Qi Hengyuan is willing to indulge himself in Yan Ning and has the potential to be a tyrant, but it is obvious that Chen Dongyan is different from him.

Chen Dongyan seems to be more restrained and rational, and will not lose his mind for a woman.

Qi Hengyuan didn't want to say much about the couple's affairs. He just felt sorry for Chen Dongyan and wanted him to rest more during his wedding.

Since Chen Dongyan himself is unwilling, Qi Hengyuan will not force him.

Qi Hengyuan planned to start the war in March. Before the war, Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang and Chen Hong had to go ahead and go to the three pass cities to prepare for cutting down the white flag in advance.

Originally, Qi Hengyuan planned to wait for Chen Dongyan and his wife to return home after their wedding before inviting Chen Dongyan in.

Now that Chen Dongyan is here, let’s talk about this matter.

Qi Hengyuan waved his hand and asked Eunuch Wang to call the ministers outside in.

After discussing the matter for two hours, the ministers left.

After the ministers left, Qi Hengyuan said to Chen Dongyan, "Since the beginning of the year, every court meeting has been about the border war. Today, everything that needs to be discussed has been basically settled, whether it is the front, the rear, or the military supplies, food, and support after the war. All have been arranged clearly. Now there is only one thing left, and that is to cut down the white flag."

Chen Dongyan understood: "Your Majesty means that Yan Lang, Chen Hong and I should set off for the border?"

Qi Hengyuan said: "After you bring your wife back home, I will summon Yan Lang and Chen Hong to the palace."

After saying that, he paused and continued, "I believe in your ability, but you have died once after all, and now you are married to Ji Yan, and you have just gotten married. In fact, I shouldn't let you take risks again and separate you from Ji Yan, but you have the experience of cutting the white flag, I think you will succeed if you go."

Chen Dongyan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. It is my honor to share your worries and the worries of Qi State. I will not refuse even if I die."

"I don't want you to die, I want you to come back alive."

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Dongyan went back during lunch time.

Qi Hengyuan went to Fengyi Palace to have dinner with Yan Ning.

After eating, he held Yan Ning’s hand and took a walk in Fengyi Palace.

Seeing that he looked troubled, Yan Ning asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Is there a problem with today's court meeting?"

Qi Hengyuan shook his head: "The court meeting is still the same. Qi has been enjoying good weather and good harvests. Strangely enough, there have been no floods, droughts or insect disasters recently. The people are living very well. At least no major disasters have been reported during the court meeting. Maybe someone is deliberately hiding it, but it shouldn't be serious. If it is really serious, it can't be covered up."

"I am not worried about state affairs, I am worried about Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong."

"I plan to start the war in March, so I want Chen Dongyan, Yan Lang, and Chen Hong to go to the border in advance and let them prepare to cut down the white flag."

"But I also know that the matter is dangerous. Yan Lang is your brother, Chen Hong is the hope of the Chen family, and Chen Dongyan just came back from the gates of hell and just got married to Ji Yan."

Then he sighed and said, "I feel like I've become weak. I wouldn't have considered so much before."

In the past, he only considered winning or losing the war and nothing else.

He would not allow himself to lose, nor would he allow the State of Qi to lose.

Even if it costs a huge price, we must win.

But now, he is no longer cold-blooded and heartless, and a layer of gentle shackles is placed on his heart.
