Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

In the past, Zhou Ruyuan always gladly accepted his father's arrangements, because he knew that the arrangements made by his father were the best arrangements for him.

But this time, there was a voice in my heart that was shouting "no".

"Father, can't we really wait a little longer for Lan Xi?" Zhou Ruyuan still remembered the last time his father said that the marriage would be postponed. He had been waiting patiently, but he didn't expect that what he would get in return was to let him choose someone else.

Emperor Renxiao heard his son's tone of resistance and sighed softly.

"Ruyuan, father can guarantee that she can't be your princess, and she won't marry anyone else!"

Zhou Ruyuan looked straight at his father, his eyes flashing.

"Thank you very much, my dear father, for your grace!"

Looking at his son who had regained his composure, Emperor Renxiao nodded with satisfaction.

"Your wedding is coming up soon, and that child is no longer suitable to stay in the palace."

Zhou Ruyuan wanted to send the child to Bai Qingling, but was interrupted by Emperor Renxiao.

"Don't worry about the child. I have my own arrangements. The most important thing for you next is to get married and give birth to a legitimate child!"

After leaving the palace, Zhou Ruyuan went to the house where Bai Qingling was settled.

"Qing Ling, I may not come here for the next period of time. Don't worry, my father has promised me that he will not attack you again."

Ever since Bai Qingling was settled in the outer house, she seemed to be withering away day by day. Even when Zhou Ruyuan came, the gloomy look on her face did not lessen.

"Your Highness, you know me well. I never ask for any status. I only ask to be by your side. Qingling only has this little request left. Is that not enough?" Tears rolled down Bai Qingling's eyes. If she hadn't been trying hard not to become the resentful woman in the boudoir that she despised the most in the past, she would have been unable to speak calmly to Zhou Ruyuan at this moment.

Zhou Ruyuan looked at Bai Qingling, who relied on him wholeheartedly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Qing Ling, my father has already granted me a marriage."

Bai Qingling lowered her head, her expression twisted for a moment, then instantly returned to a sad look.

"Your Highness, Qing Ling has never thought of competing with Sister Lan Xi. I know Sister Lan Xi hates me, I only ask Your Highness to treat our child well for the sake of our past relationship. Later, I will find an ancient temple to pray for Your Highness and your family of three. For the rest of my life, I will only be accompanied by the green lamp!"

Bai Qingling was so immersed in her own emotions that she didn't notice the unnatural look on Zhou Ruyuan's face when she mentioned Shen Lanxi.

"It's not Shen Lanxi." Zhou Ruyuan said coldly.

It took Bai Qingling a while to realize what he meant.

"What's going on? Why isn't it Shen Lanxi?" Bai Qingling was shocked.

Zhou Ruyuan looked at her strangely, not understanding why she reacted so strongly.

If it’s not Shen Lanxi, shouldn’t she be happy?

"The one that the emperor has arranged for marriage is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel." There were also several other women, all of whom were daughters of high-ranking officials in the court.

Bai Qingling murmured in disbelief: "Hasn't His Majesty always wanted you to reconcile with Shen Lanxi? Hasn't he always wanted to grant you a marriage? Why didn't he grant you a marriage now?"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes were complicated as he said, "Shen Lanxi is now the Duke of Juding, in charge of the imperial examination and the commander of the Beijing Guards. Father feels that the Great Zhou is in need of people now, and once Shen Lanxi gets married, she will no longer be able to contribute to the Great Zhou."

Bai Qingling's mind was racing.

"If Shen Lanxi doesn't marry the prince, who will be given the military power under her?"

"Your Majesty, do you trust her to continue to lead the Zhenbei Army?"

"Shen Lanxi is deeply in love with the prince. If His Majesty arranges marriage for someone else to the prince, will she agree?"

The key point is that if she doesn't marry the prince, she won't be able to help him. How can that be possible?

Seeing Bai Qingling so excited, Zhou Ruyuan thought she was still jealous of Shen Lanxi. So he gently advised: "Shen Lanxi and I will be colleagues from now on, don't think too much."

Bai Qingling was furious. How could she not think too much about how Shen Lanxi had harmed her like this?

She wished she could skin Shen Lanxi alive.

Even if His Majesty gives someone else to the prince, Shen Lanxi will assist the prince wholeheartedly. This is what she owes to the prince and herself.

"Your Majesty, does Shen Lanxi know that His Majesty has granted you a marriage?" Bai Qingling asked.

Zhou Ruyuan: "I don't know, it should be soon. I will be busy with my marriage after this, and with outsiders watching, I won't be able to come to you freely."

There was a calculating light in Bai Qingling's eyes. No matter who became the queen, her child must be the eldest son.

"Your Highness, please go ahead and do your work. I will never let you have any worries!"

Zhou Ruyuan felt guilty looking at Bai Qingling who was devoted to him. After returning to the palace, he asked someone to send her many good things.

……

"Sir, someone brought a letter." The guard handed over the letter.

Without Ban Sicao, the spring snow and autumn frost are extra cautious.

"Sir, let's check first to see if there's any poison on it!"

There had been precedents of envelopes being poisoned before, and they were all discovered by Ban Sicao. Before being sent out, Ban Sicao taught the two men several methods of inspection, and they worked diligently every day, checking everything that Shen Lanxi touched several times.

The two of them took turns checking, and after confirming that there was no problem, they handed the envelope over.

After seeing clearly who wrote the letter, Shen Lanxi smiled silently.

"Have a look!" She threw it to the two of them as if it were a fun little toy.

Haruyuki: “It’s her.”

Qiu Shuang: "Why is it her?"

Shen Lanxi looked at the two people with the same expression and asked with amusement: "She asked me to go to Wangjiang Tower. Do you think I should go?"

The two said in unison: "No!"

Haruyuki: "She is just a shameless bad woman. Don't dirty the adults' eyes."

Qiu Shuang: "Exactly, who does she think she is? She wants to see the adults, so our adults have to go see her? She really doesn't respect our adults at all."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows. Why did this sound so familiar?

The two of them also noticed it and burst into laughter immediately.

"Listen to you, who does she think she is? There are many people who want to see me. Some people spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to see me, but they still can't. She has no sincerity at all. I don't know how Zhou Ruyuan raised her in poverty."

"puff……"

The room was filled with laughter.

Bai Qingling waited from noon till afternoon, until the sun was about to set, but she didn't see any trace of Shen Lanxi.

"Shen Lanxi, you dare to play tricks on me, let's fight to the death!"

Bai Qingling was like a madman. She stayed in the Juding Mansion for several days in a row, and finally she caught up with Shen Lanxi.

"Shen Lanxi, stop!" Bai Qingling rushed forward.

Although she was dressed in men's clothes and wearing a gauze hat, Shen Lanxi still recognized her.

"Bai Qingling!" Shen Lanxi revealed her identity in one sentence.

Che Mingyuan's eyes flashed, and he deliberately asked: "Sir, who is she?"

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "The one who made Zhou Ruyuan call for water three times in one night!"
