After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

The courtiers of the Jade Kingdom...

There doesn't seem to be any major opinion on who should be the Jade King.

only--

"If you were the new king, would you still marry General Shen?"

The official from the Ministry of Rites, who was previously in charge of Qin Jiao's marriage arrangements, suddenly appeared in the hall and asked loudly.

There was no other reason. On both sides of Qin Jiao stood Shen Ji, who was like a guardian god and made people afraid.

It is said that General Shen personally went to capture the escaped eldest prince, and the second prince, who was under house arrest and was under heavy reflection, was probably also under tighter guard and would not be able to get out for a while.

This fifth princess astounded all the civil and military officials of the Jade Kingdom.

Invisible ambition and tactics.

Originally, he was just a pawn used by the previous emperor to maintain stability, and later he was given to the enemy leader as a gift...

Everyone would sympathize with her and think of her as a princess with a miserable life and no favor.

Who would have thought that the late emperor would pass away so hastily, and take away the most troublesome queen with him...

The legitimate princess surrendered directly to the enemy.

Hey, this incident made all the officials of the Jade Kingdom feel weird. They looked around and saw——

In the entire Jade Palace, the fifth princess is the only one left.

So, does her gender matter?

Rather than the princess ascending the throne, they were more concerned about the fact that the princess's fiancé was a capable general who also guarded Wangdu.

If General Shen becomes the king's husband and has other ideas in the future, it will be hard to say whether the Yu Kingdom will be named Qin or Shen.

Shen Ji pursed his lips when he heard this. He naturally knew what the official meant.

He clenched his fingers subconsciously.

But it was gently held by another soft little hand.

Hold it tight little by little.

Qin Jiao held Shen Ji's hand in public.

"This is a marriage granted by the late emperor, and it is also a matter of urgency for your Ministry of Rites. The Jade Kingdom has suffered setbacks one after another, so why not hold such a happy event?"

It was her first time facing so many officials, and she felt a little timid.

But Qin Jiao remembered what Qin Xin said, "Don't compromise at the beginning," so she tried to raise her voice and looked at the minister straight in the eye.

"Lord Li, I understand what you are worried about. Therefore, I want to set up three departments, one of which is the Supervision Department, which is responsible for supervising and warning the behavior of me and my husband. If my husband and I are not virtuous and let down the people of Yuguo, the Supervision Department can sue the emperor.

This palace is also willing to accept supervision, and when my virtue is not worthy of the position, I will voluntarily give up the position to a virtuous person."

This was an idea Qin Jiao thought of on the way here.

When the previous emperor was alive, he was too one-man show, and the emperor changed his orders every day, and no one dared to correct or warn him. The Censorate was full of weak people promoted by the previous emperor himself.

Over time, the emperor's words and deeds were inappropriate, which led to the disastrous consequences of today.

Qin Jiao is not afraid of being examined, she also believes that Shen Ji can withstand the test.

After Qin Jiao finished speaking, for a long time, all the officials below were whispering, discussing the credibility and feasibility of the Fifth Princess' words.

Finally, someone whispered.

"Queen Chen seems to be extremely supportive of the Fifth Princess ascending the throne, and on my way here I saw Prince Chen... peeling oranges for Queen Chen and fanning her... I think this matter needs to be considered from many aspects."

This man was used to changing his attitude according to the situation, and he was not a treacherous person. His voice was not loud, but the sharp-eared people around him heard it.

"What? That tyrant?! Are you sure he was peeling oranges for Queen Chen and not her?"

This scene is hard to imagine just by thinking about it, not to mention that the other party is claiming to have seen it with his own eyes.

"It's absolutely true! Tyrant... Bah, the way Prince Chen treats our Seventh Princess is definitely not fake. My old father is so henpecked..."

After these words were spoken, I don’t know who changed the subject again.

"Your mother is a well-known shrew. Your father is now seventy years old. It seems that he has never taken a concubine in his life and has managed his own salary..."

"Pfft-"

How should I put it? The court is a serious place, but my colleague, it is hard to make people take it seriously with what you say.

It was the one who first changed his tune and tried hard to bring the topic back.

"Everyone, what I mean is that the Fifth Princess can sit on the throne first, appease those two and send them away before discussing other matters?"

"But I heard from the loud-voiced guard behind Queen Chen that she wants to drink the wedding wine before leaving..."

"Oh! Then let's hold the coronation ceremony and wedding of our new emperor at the same time! Your Ministry of Rites has already prepared everything, except for the two newlyweds!"

"Why bother with so much trouble? Hurry up and agree, and go home to report the good news. Now I am a veteran of three dynasties, not a slave of a conquered country!"

"..."

Some people were silently embarrassed and thought that the emperor was really following the old path of the previous emperor, moving the Fifth Princess, this omnipotent brick, in all directions.

Keeping General Shen calm was only one of the priorities. The most important thing was to make the bad-tempered couple who came to rescue them finish their wedding banquet and leave quickly.

Qin Jiao was a little nervous and her palms were sweating.

Shen Ji held her hand tightly and encouraged her silently.

But the two of them looked at the noisy and lively scene below, which was like a vegetable market, and seemed to have heard something.

Can't help looking at each other -

Looks like you agreed?

It seems like you are urging us to get married?

Such a lucky thing actually happened to them...

Whether it was Qin Jiao, who had been suppressed for 19 years, or Shen Ji, who had always been in a disadvantageous situation, they were more surprised than happy.

I even began to doubt that all this was just a dream.

"Jiaojiao, you want to pinch me?"

Shen Ji was ready to give up his military power. Anyway, he could protect Qin Jiao and defend Yu Kingdom without it. At worst, he would just be a small general under the command of another general.

But now it seems that the officials have not yet forced Jiaojiao to choose between the throne and him, nor have they further pressured him to give up his military power?

Qin Jiao, who was always gentle, used a little force this time, pinching Shen Ji's palm so hard that it hurt and he immediately took a breath.

Okay, it's true.

There was ecstasy in his eyes and the corners of his mouth kept rising. He couldn't suppress his happiness at all.

It may sound lame to say this, but his lifelong wish is really to marry Qin Jiao.

If it really doesn't work, he can take a step back and stay by her side for the rest of his life, even if there is no official status, he is willing to do so.

And now, it seems that God has finally shown mercy to them.

It allowed Qin Jiao, who had been cautious since childhood and had to rely on the queen for her food, clothing and other expenses, to obtain the supreme power of the Jade Kingdom, so that she could ride on the wind and realize her ideal of lifelong love; it also allowed the little Shen Ji, who practiced martial arts hard in the severe winter and the scorching summer, to finally achieve his wish after many years and marry the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with at first sight.

Outside the noisy council hall, Qin Xin and Gu Fei, two unimpeded "passers-by", found a place to lean against and eat melons.

Qin Xin raised one hand, placed it to her ear, and tried hard to listen, but unfortunately, she didn't hear a single word, so she asked Gu Fei who was beside her.

"Can you hear what's being said?"

"Is it possible that I'm not a good hearer?"

The corners of Gu Fei's lips twitched, and he held a fan in his hand, fanning Qin Xin from time to time.

"Suifeng, what about you?"

Qin Xin turned around and asked Suifeng, who was standing there like a sculpture, motionless.

Suifeng, who was suddenly called, was stunned.

Obviously, not only did he not hear what was said inside, he even automatically blocked out the conversation between the two people in front of him.

Qin Xin sighed.

"You are so skilled in martial arts and you didn't hear it, so it seems that no one can hear it clearly."

Sui Shou, who was originally eager to say something, immediately showed a "broken porcelain" expression on his face when he heard this.

He looked at Suifeng with dissatisfaction.

Why does the Queen think so highly of you?!

Suifeng, who was envied by his younger brother, finally came to his senses.

The cold and aloof leader of the inner guards raised the corner of his lips almost imperceptibly——

The Queen also has her merits. She can be considered as...knowing people and making good use of them.
