Our military generals are just that brave!
This is something you will never understand!
Hahaha...
Pei Siyan: My wife has no regrets, and she is very comfortable!
Don't spread rumors!
[Sigh... Host, you have no idea, General Pei was up all night, and Madam Pei couldn't get out of bed for three days!]
[Guagua, General Pei is truly amazing!]
Ministers: ...
"Cough cough cough..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Shen Changyuan coughed several times, hoping to silence his daughter's outburst.
[Host, sometimes being too capable can be a burden! But thinking about it, Madam Pei is the wife that General Pei went through so much trouble to win back, so naturally he cherishes her very much!]
You have no idea that several young men from different families were initially courting Lady Pei. Those young men were refined and handsome, and they even sent her love poems. Poor General Pei, a rough and uneducated man who barely knew any characters, had to speak in such a literary style and have someone else write his love poems!
What happens next?
Shen Mingzhu was very curious.
The entire court of officials pricked up their ears, eager to hear how Pei Siyan had managed to stand out from the many suitors.
System, [You have no idea, General Pei spends every day at home studying the Thirty-Six Stratagems, constantly reflecting, thinking, and reviewing his strategies to find flaws in his suitors. He even spent a fortune buying several "skinny horses" from Jiangnan to seduce those young masters!]
The entire court: What a Pei Siyan! Who would have thought he had such a cunning mind!
Pei Siyan was filled with pride. He was just that amazing. He had won the heart of the girl he loved, married her, and had her bear him children, spending his life with her.
[Guagua, have they taken the bait?]
[Host, is that even a question? Absolutely! Greed and lust are human nature! Back then, two young masters succumbed to the allure of the beauties! General Pei is quite cunning; he personally led his current wife to "catch them in the act," making her witness the suitors' shameful behavior to highlight her own virtuousness!]
What a shrewd Pei Siyan!
You really can't tell!
You actually have this side to you, Pei Siyan!
The young masters who were tricked by him, didn't knew he was behind the skinny horses!
They were fighting and grabbing them!
[Guagua, what about the others? Weren't only two resolved?]
Others, some happened to encounter the girl falling into the water and bravely intervened; some, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, directly threatened and bribed him to beat him up; some even gave his mother a sum of money, clearly stating that they had found a better girl...
In short, all the young gentlemen left behind the unmarried Madam Pei!
Emperor Jingyuan: What a fine general he is!
That's amazing!
Finally, there was a scholar who got along very well with Madam Pei, and they were just about to confess their feelings. He was waiting to go to the Zhou family to propose marriage after passing the imperial examination. However, General Pei learned that the scholar had a childhood sweetheart back home. After the scholar passed the examination, General Pei immediately sent a messenger to bring his childhood sweetheart to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury!
Good heavens! He killed without a trace!
Sigh!
Pei Siyan felt very uncomfortable as he heard all the things he had done being exposed.
All's fair in war!
What's more, it's for the girl he loves!
The officials in the court probably didn't know that he had fallen in love with his wife at first sight and was even more devoted to her upon seeing her again. He felt that if he couldn't marry her, his life would be meaningless!
Oh, I know Guagua!
A certain scholar in the back row of the court officials exclaimed: What a fine Pei Siyan!
He just said, "Why did my little green plum from my hometown suddenly come to Beijing?"
How did she, a frail woman, manage to travel such a long distance?
Wow, the case is solved!
A wave of bitterness washed over him!
It was such a beautiful time back then, but it's all his fault for choosing his childhood sweetheart.
Looking at Pei Siyan in front of him, he clenched his fists.
System, [Fight! Fight! Fight!]
[Guagua, are you crazy! What are you saying?!]
[Host, look at the gentleman next to you. With his rosy lips, white teeth, gentle appearance, and slightly red-rimmed eyes, he is the former scholar who passed the imperial examinations. He now serves in the same court as us!]
Oh, let me see! Hehe~~~ He probably still doesn't know how the girl he wanted to marry was stolen away!
Former scholar who passed the imperial examination, now a Hanlin Academy scholar: Thank you, Shen Mingzhu, I am aware of this!
Emperor Jingyuan: I already know.
All the officials: Your inner voice is so loud, and your movements are so obvious, we all know what happened!
Pei Siyan: I'm a little embarrassed!
All's fair in war!
If you're not as skilled as others, you can't blame anyone else!
With reddened eyes, Wang Shidu said: "Can you all tone it down a bit? He's very sad."
Grand Scholar Su Huaiyuan: That's all the ambition you've got!
It's a done deal, let's look forward!
...
[Hehehe~ Host, in stark contrast is the civil official next to General Pei; he drank a huge bowl of nourishing soup last night!]
Pei Siyan glanced at the minister beside him and smiled mockingly.
Being eloquent is useless; a man can't say no!
The minister next to him blushed with embarrassment. It wasn't that he was impotent; he had just been too tired lately and had drunk a bowl of nourishing soup!
Alright, now the entire court thinks he's finished!
He really wants to shout right now, "I can do it! I can do it! I'm really good!"
At this moment, the unconscious Prince An returned to the main hall.
[Guagua, Prince An has woken up. Why is he here at court instead of resting?]
Prince An: It's all because of you!
You naughty girl!
He didn't even know which Lord Zhou his son was, so how could he possibly go back to rest?
[Guagua, Prince An is truly a man of great spirit despite his physical disability. He devoted himself to the Great Yan Dynasty until his dying breath!]
Prince An: That's enough!
Don't just make fun of him alone!
Before we could even hear that little gourd's voice, we heard Prince An step forward and say,
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been in a coma for more than three months. Now that he has a Crown Princess, shouldn't we let the two of them meet and get to know each other?"
Shen Mingzhu: You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topic.
Emperor Jingyuan nodded as he listened to Prince An's words.
"Indeed, after court, Wang Defu, you should take Mingzhu to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince."
"Yes, as you command."
[Guagua, did you hear that? I'll be seeing a handsome, powerful, and tragic villain after court!]
[Originally the crown prince, he was forced to step aside because the emperor's favorite daughter married the second prince, becoming a tragic and powerful villain! Waaaaah... So pitiful!]
[Host, you are now one with the Crown Prince, aren't you going to do anything about it?]
[How am I supposed to manage him? He's lying in bed right now, am I supposed to go and shake him awake?]
All the officials: No need for that, the Crown Prince's health should be the priority.
[Host, you forgot? You can buy a recovery pill from the system to give him. One pill will cure him instantly, and he'll wake up immediately, giving you back a beautiful fiancé.]
[Guagua, I want to buy sweet potato seedlings, plant sweet potatoes, and send food to my grandfather and brothers! Besides, the Crown Prince is alright; he'll wake up sooner or later, but the generals and people in the north are waiting for food to save their lives! Which is more important?]
