The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

491 Chapter 1

May is the most beautiful time.A jade belt-like river flows from one end of the sky to the other, with flowers of various colors blooming on both banks.A plainly dressed woman sat on the bank, quietly watching the river.

What is she thinking?A woman like her has the most beautiful appearance, the most noble status and the most happy family in the world. What kind of troubles will she have?

Qiu Xuan stood not far away, speculating on various conjectures.

The woman suddenly turned her head and smiled softly at him: "Qiu Xuan, what are you looking at? Come here and talk to me."

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

That woman is the noble queen of Snow Country, Ye Yaochi who used to be the eldest princess of Lu Country.

Qiu Xuan, who was only nine years old, became No. 1 in the Snow Country National Examination this year.Because he was too young, the emperor did not give him an official position, but only asked him to accompany the prince.Therefore, he became a child that the queen often saw, because he always had a bright smile, especially those charming little canine teeth, and the queen liked him very much.

This trip, also brought him.

Qiuxuan watched the river with the empress, there was a slight breeze blowing, not sure if it was the scent of flowers or the empress' natural body fragrance.

"Qiu Xuan, is it beautiful here?"

"Well, it's so beautiful. The Empress is not from the Snow Country, but she actually knows this place."

"I'll tell you a secret, and you're not allowed to tell anyone else."

"Yes, I will keep it a secret for the empress."

Ye Yaochi looked not far away, squinted those deep eyes that looked like a pool of water in the night, and said calmly: "Actually, I didn't discover this place, including the Firefly Valley we went to last night. It is the same. A good friend of mine told me."

"Is he from Snow Country?"

"He is from the country of Lu, and his family had a good relationship with the royal family of the country of Lu, so we are also good friends. He likes to travel around the world, and he will go everywhere. So he discovered this place, and even the people of Xue country don't know much about it."

"So it is."

Qiu Xuan hugged her knees, her small body curled up into a ball, looking at those beautiful flowers.

Ye Yaochi turned to look at him: "When Qiu Xuan grows up, what kind of official position do you want to be?"

"Actually, I'm not interested in being an official. I just want to be a scholar, to study allusions with learned people in the world, write history books, manage knowledge, and talk about the world."

Ye Yaochi smiled and said: "Then the official position of Grand Scholars is the most suitable for you. Seeing that the Grand Scholars in our Snow Country are also getting old, they often plan to resign and return to their hometown. It just so happens that you come to pick up his position. I will tell the emperor when I go back. .”

Qiu Xuan smiled at Ye Yaochi, a pair of small canine teeth shining brightly in the sun: "Thank you, empress."

The two were talking, only to hear a yawn, and the prince who had been lying not far away woke up.

Both of them turned their heads to look over, Ye Yaochi smiled lovingly: "Canglan, is it so boring to go out with the queen mother? I have been sleeping since I left the palace, and I will sleep here too."

The prince rubbed his eyes, and then showed a gentle smile to his mother: "Father and emperor have been arresting his sons and ministers to talk about state affairs these days, and he hasn't slept for several nights. He is really sleepy. Please forgive me, mother."

Qiu Xuan hugged his knees and looked at the prince quietly.With the same appearance as the queen, she is so handsome and dazzling.But he has the wisdom and temperament of the emperor, and for some reason, he always has a feeling that this prince is more powerful than the emperor, because he never shows his emotions and anger, which is very scary.

A year later, something happened in the palace.The queen died, and the prince was also sent out of the palace to practice.Qiu Xuan missed that beautiful and dignified queen, and always wanted to draw everything that happened by the river that day.

He has been staying in Zhaowen Hall, quietly studying his knowledge.Occasionally, he would go to the prime minister's mansion to learn chess skills from that respected prime minister. He never ignored what happened in the palace one after another.

At the age of 12, he became a bachelor.The youngest person in the snow country ranked first in the national examination, and also the youngest bachelor.

Draw it, draw it.As a work of a bachelor, it was put into Zhaowen Hall.Standing in front of the painting, Qiu Xuan couldn't help thinking of the scenery of that day.That queen, no one can surpass her.Her temperament, her beauty, everything about her is so perfect.

"Lord Qiu, Your Majesty is looking for you."

Qiu Xuan hurried to the imperial study.The emperor of Snow Country, ever since the empress passed away, there was always a slight sadness between his brows.That darkness is distressing and frightening.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for a humble minister?"

The Emperor of the Snow Country looked at him for a while, then lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "It's okay, you can step back."

Qiu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, before he left, he turned his head again.This emperor created the prosperity of the Snow Country.He is a powerful man who never loves his children or does unnecessary things.

But today, what happened to him?

Qiu Xuan didn't understand, he was still too young.

The wind of December is howling.The emperor is seriously ill.

Qiuxuan lay on the Zhaowen Hall, learning with several great scholars.Occasionally, he would raise his head and look out the window, the howling wind and the flying snow.

"I heard that the prince is back. The three imperial edicts have been summoned."

There were several bachelors whispering in the outer room, Qiu Xuan looked away.The other bachelors in the room also raised their heads. Everyone was very interested in this matter.

"The prince went directly to the Guangming Palace, and all the officials knelt outside and refused to let them in."

"Where are the second and third princes?"

"Same. Just now I saw the prince passing by in a hurry from a distance. I haven't seen him for four years. The prince has changed a lot, gloomy."

Gloomy?Qiu Xuan frowned slightly, he thought of the prince who had been with him for a year, he always had a gentle smile on his face, even to his second younger brother who was jealous of him, he never showed any criticism.

Could such a person be gloomy?

Not long after, the emperor died.Huaxi took the imperial edict and passed on the crown prince.Many people, many doubts.But no one dared to ask.

Qiu Xuan didn't care too much, the prince, isn't he the prince who inherits the throne?What's so strange about him ascending the throne?

At the enthronement ceremony, Qiu Xuan saw the new emperor again.He watched him pass solemnly in front of him, a pair of brows slightly frowned.

He has indeed changed.Under the calm and noble appearance, there seemed to be turbulent waves.What was it that turned him from a sunny boy into a cold emperor?

"Qiu Xuan, come, play a game of chess with me."

Years later, they are once again sitting on opposite sides of the chessboard.

"I heard that you are also Prime Minister Xu's disciple, so let me show you your chess skills."

Qiu Xuan smiled, his little tiger teeth gleaming: "Yes, my humble minister has made a fool of himself."

During the game, he sometimes raised his head to look at the emperor opposite.Nothing but a smile.But that kind of cold, it seemed that the cold wind had chilled his body invisible.

"Qiu Xuan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'm also Prime Minister Xu's disciple, you can't do it half-heartedly."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qiu Xuan's back, but he showed his little tiger teeth and smiled: "Even if I try my best, I can't win Your Majesty."
