Three months after Su Rong ascended the throne, Emperor Liang retired from illness, and Prince Yan Huisheng ascended the throne. At the same time, Huawei was banned from the throne.
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, the three countries all had happy news and sent congratulations to each other. The three countries were harmonious and had friendly relations, as if the war had never been fought before.
But everyone knows that behind the scenes, 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, taking 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 battle in ten years, but what Yuan Zhao is most afraid of is that Su Rong and Yan Huisheng will not be able to wait ten years.
Therefore, he secretly tried his best to place spies in Nanchu and Daliang, and create some unrest in Nanchu and Daliang from time to time.
Regarding 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 a lot of 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 Daliang and the Queen of Nanchu wrote letters every month, exchanging information, although most of the Queen's letters were ghostwritten by Wang Fu.
After Duan Hua and Yan Huisheng got married, 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 was 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 raised his forehead, "Duan Hua, 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 they gave birth to a daughter. Yan Huisheng smiled and let her go.
The poor little prince was obviously very beautiful, but he was called Chou Chou. 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.
When Xiao Yanrui saw Yan Huisheng coming, she turned around and hugged his legs, raised her face and complained aggrievedly, "Father, my mother is bullying me again."
Duan Hua 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.
This has been caught by Yan Huisheng several times.
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 Huiwei. 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 Huisheng laughed angrily, "More than ten baskets of grapes have been brought in as tribute, and you two have to rush to eat this one. What's the point?"
Duan Hua 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 all 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 Huisheng opened her mouth to hold it, with a smile on her 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, it turns out that father and son are closer than 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 hadn't seen Su Rong in nearly five years.
Just as she was thinking about it, 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 indulged 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 draft 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, stretched out her hand to take Yan Huisheng's arm, held her in her arms, and leaned against him, "Cousin, I miss Su Rong."
Yan Huisheng turned to look at her, "Almost."
Duan Hua blinked, "Is she coming back soon to save the bride?"
"no."
Duan Hua was puzzled, "Then 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 peaceful and prosperous world for the world. 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 that 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)
