The news that the Seventh Princess of Jin State and Shao Pingbo was about to marry had spread all over the world. The wedding date was approaching.
Although Shao Pingbo had released the news that Tai-shu Huan 'er was innocent, how many people believed him?
In the Beizhou Provincial Governor's Mansion, Shao Dengyun stayed silent in his room.
The housekeeper, Yang Shuang, accompanied him. After a long silence, he asked, "Master, it's not convenient for you to go. How about I send a congratulatory gift on your behalf?"
"Congratulatory gift? Congratulatory gift? It's good enough that I don't send a coffin! " Shao Dengyun sneered. Then, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "How shameful! My unfilial son! You've brought shame to our ancestors!"
He was now considered a prominent family. Everyone knew what happened to Tai-shu Huan 'er. It was rumored that Tai-shu Huan' er was killed by Shao Pingbo. Shao Pingbo shot himself in the foot and became the biggest joke in the world. The fact that the Shao Family married that kind of woman was unacceptable to him. When the news spread, he was too ashamed to face others.
Although the father and son seemed to have cut off their relationship, this joke inevitably affected Shao Dengyun. He couldn't help but talk about it behind his back.
Similarly, Shao Liuer couldn't avoid being criticized by the ladies of the royal family as a joke.
Shao Liuer didn't send a congratulatory gift either. Putting aside their sibling relationship, Jin State and Qi State were arch-enemies. They were at war. Shao Liuer couldn't do anything about it.
More importantly, some things were no longer a secret. After the royal family was poisoned, the news that the Administration Bureau arrested Shao Pingbo had spread. It was said that Shao Pingbo was the culprit behind the royal family's poisoning.
Shao Liuer was under a lot of pressure to have such an elder brother. The ladies of the royal family mocked her a lot.
Shao Liuer bitterly hated Shao Pingbo because of this. He didn't even let her husband off when he poisoned her. She no longer believed Shao Pingbo's nonsense about letting her marry to Qi because it was for her own good.
…
Hundreds of officials came to congratulate the princess on her wedding day. The entire capital of Jin State was very lively.
After the complicated process, it was time for the wedding ceremony.
Everything was quiet. Two people sat side by side in the bridal room. The bride was delicate. Shao Pingbo didn't seem to be suitable to wear bright clothes.
In fact, Shao Pingbo was not young anymore. He was about the same age as Imperial Concubine Lan. Of course, he was much younger than Chen Changgong, and also much better looking. In terms of appearance, Chen Changgong, who was old and uncouth, could not be compared with Shao Pingbo.
Tai-shu Huan 'er couldn't tell what he was feeling. He was a little nervous and perturbed. He also felt like he was dreaming. After so many twists and turns, he actually married Shao Pingbo.
Under the candlelight, Shao Pingbo suddenly asked, "Does Princess hate me?"
Tai-shu Huan 'er retorted, "Then are you really willing to marry me?"
Shao Pingbo: "If you don't hate me, I will treat you sincerely."
Tai-shu Huan 'er bit her lips without saying a word. Suddenly, a hand reached out and lifted her chin. She saw a handsome face coming over and kissing her lips. Her heart was beating fast, and she fell to the ground …
The next day, Shao Pingbo held Tai-shu Huan 'er's hand as they walked out of the bridal chamber. Amidst the sounds of congratulations, the bride's face was full of shyness. She had been subdued overnight. No one knew what kind of sweet words she had received, but she seemed to have let go of the past.
Shao Sansheng had a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't know what the First Young Master was thinking, but it seemed that the First Young Master treated the Seventh Princess very well.
Shao Pingbo had indeed spent a lot of effort on Tai-shu Huan 'er, and he had to spend a lot of effort. He had already paid a huge price. His current goal was to get rid of all internal troubles and avoid the situation of being attacked from all sides again.
Tai-shu Huan 'er was no match for him. If Shao Pingbo really spent a lot of effort on her, it wouldn't be a problem to deal with her.
All the people in the mansion came to pay their respects to the mistress. The palace maids and eunuchs from the palace received Imperial Concubine Lan's order to give red envelopes. They were very generous.
Shao Pingbo also asked Shao Sansheng to give red envelopes to the servants brought by Tai-shu Huan 'er and those who would serve here in the future. The gifts here were much poorer than those of Imperial Concubine Lan, and Shao Pingbo didn't have much money.
Of course, making money was not a problem for Shao Pingbo with his vision and ability, but it wasn't his goal.
After dealing with the guests here, the newlyweds left the mansion and rushed to the Imperial Palace.
Before they entered the Imperial Palace, the palace knew that they were on the way.
In the Imperial Palace, both Tai-shu Xiong and Imperial Concubine Lan had been paying attention from beginning to end. They both wanted to know how Shao Pingbo treated their daughter.
Knowing that Tai-shu Huan 'er was doing well, Tai-shu Xiong and Imperial Concubine Lan were still a little worried.
When they saw Tai-shu Huan 'er, their daughter's shy and happy appearance made the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Lan feel relieved. They knew that the secret report was true.
Tai-shu Xiong was relieved that his daughter was happy. Besides being the Emperor, he was a father after all, so he was quite pleased and rewarded him!
The Empress also rewarded him.
Imperial Concubine Lan was grinning from ear to ear. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she was. She was also afraid that her son-in-law would be unhappy and mistreat her daughter, so she treated him well. After that, she ordered people to send a lot of gifts to the Shao Mansion.
Of course, what kind of person was Tai-shu Xiong? He somewhat suspected that Shao Pingbo was deliberately pretending, so he ordered the Black Water Platform to secretly monitor him.
On the other hand, after Shao Pingbo used Tai-shu Huan 'er, Tai-shu Xiong finally took action against the ministers in the imperial court. His target was Zhao Gongquan!
In private, Shao Pingbo and Zhao Gongquan had killed his son. The resentment between them was hard to resolve. Moreover, his daughter married Shao Pingbo.
In public, Tai-shu Xiong was angry because of the forced abdication last time. He had long wanted to intimidate Shao Pingbo.
Zhao Gongquan didn't know that his forced marriage had brought him a fatal disaster.
A few days after the princess's wedding, the Black Water Platform found some evidence of Zhao Gongquan's crimes and provided it to Zhao Gongquan's political enemies. The Black Water Platform couldn't jump out themselves.
Once the evidence of his crimes was exposed, it shocked the imperial court. Zhao Gongquan was imprisoned, and the Zhao Mansion was confiscated.
Someone from the Equipment Cloud Sect came forward to plead for mercy. However, behind Tai-shu Xiong was the leader of the Equipment Cloud Sect, Tai-shu Feihua. How could the matter exposed by the imperial court be protected? If that was the case, would there still be any rules? The person who came forward only saved his daughter and grandson and brought them back to the Equipment Cloud Sect to take care of them. The rest were killed!
Shao Pingbo wanted to resolve the hostile relationship with the ministers in the imperial court. However, the hatred of Zhao Gongquan's son was hard to resolve. In order to avoid future troubles, he got rid of him!
In the following days, Shao Pingbo and Tai-shu Huan 'er were so close and affectionate that others really envied them.
They went sightseeing on horseback, played on the boat together, read books together, and played the zither together. Shao Pingbo even taught Tai-shu Huan 'er how to paint step by step. It could be said that they stayed together day and night.
Shao Pingbo seemed to have changed into a different person. He seemed to be intoxicated with gentleness. Tai-shu Huan 'er couldn't stand Shao Pingbo's tricks. He was so happy that he couldn't find the north. Those royal ladies who were looking forward to watching him make a fool of himself were envious.
However, in this way, Tai-shu Xiong began to feel depressed. He treated Shao Pingbo like a national scholar and hoped that Shao Pingbo would repay him. He had always been thinking about the "Great Plan", but the person who offered the plan was immersed in love all day long. He didn't want to go to the front and serve the imperial court. What did he mean?
Imperial Concubine Lan also began to feel uneasy. She wanted her son-in-law to have a high position and be reliable. What should she do now that he didn't want to make progress?
Tao Lve went to the Shao Mansion to hint and remind him several times that it was time to work!
Shao Pingbo declined with the excuse that he was not feeling well. Even if he didn't go to work, what could they do to him? He had married Tai-shu Huan 'er now, so Tai-shu Xiong couldn't be angry with him for the time being.
Tai-shu Huan 'er, who was used as a shield, was scared when she heard that her husband was so tired that he vomited blood in the front. She was the first one who didn't agree to let her husband go to the front again. Tai-shu Xiong and Imperial Concubine Lan originally asked her to persuade Shao Pingbo.
Persuade what? Tai-shu Huan 'er felt that her current life was quite good.
Later, Imperial Concubine Lan also persuaded Shao Pingbo in person, hinting that he should make progress.
Shao Pingbo just listened and did what he should do. He took Tai-shu Huan 'er with him and visited the houses of the ministers when he had nothing to do.
Those ministers didn't want to pay attention to him. They didn't care about Shao Pingbo, but they couldn't ignore the Princess. Although they didn't care about the Princess, they still had to behave on the surface.
When visiting the houses of the ministers, Shao Pingbo confided his heart and decided to be a peaceful and happy son-in-law. He didn't want to accept any merit even if it was meritorious. He hoped that the ministers could support him in the court.
The ministers were naturally happy to see that he was willing to give up fighting for power. Since there was no conflict of interests, there was no need to make the Emperor unhappy. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides quickly became harmonious. Soon, they let go of the former hatred and often invited each other.
But how could this kind of thing be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Black Water Platform? After hearing it, Tai-shu Xiong was furious and summoned Shao Pingbo to the palace to scold him.
Shao Pingbo said that he vomited blood continuously and it was really hard for him to bear. Later, he encouraged Tai-shu Huan 'er to go to the palace to cry and complain.
In the face of Shao Pingbo, who had just married his daughter, Tai-shu Xiong couldn't do anything to him!
Shao Pingbo had restrained himself. When Niu Youdao got the news, he didn't know what Shao Pingbo was up to. He wasn't good at court affairs, so he asked Jia Wuqun for advice.
Jia Wuqun also didn't know what Shao Pingbo was up to. In short, Shao Pingbo had obviously settled the internal conflict by marrying Shao Liu 'er. It was very difficult to launch an attack on Shao Pingbo by using the internal conflict of Jin Nation. Now, no one in Jin Nation was willing to make things difficult for Shao Pingbo.
But it was also a fact that Shao Pingbo had given up his power. Therefore, Jia Wuqun couldn't figure it out and could only continue to observe …
Family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs. Gao Pin took the opportunity of the confrontation and finally wiped out all the wavering forces in Wei Nation, completely stabilizing the rear.
In addition, Jin Nation had successfully assembled another batch of troops and officially set off for the frontline. This brought great pressure to Huyan Wuhen. Gao Pin's strict defense made it impossible for him to break through!
Inside the central military tent, Huyan Wuhen finally made up his mind facing the map. He tapped on a point of Qi Nation's defense line.
With just one tap of his finger, many people's fates were changed.
Qi Nation's officials had been invited to a banquet by the Qi Nation's army. Huyan Wuhen had invited them, so they didn't dare to disobey.
Usually, Wei Nation's officials didn't set up any defenses. As soon as everyone arrived, Qi Nation's army suddenly launched an attack. Hidden troops swarmed forward, and Wei Nation's officials were instantly attacked.
Tables and stools were overturned, and there was a commotion. Wei Nation's officials were terrified.
At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and the host of the banquet finally showed himself. Huyan Wuhen, clad in battle armor, walked out unhurriedly. His hand held onto the sword at his waist as he surveyed the scene with a cold gaze.
