The gilded incense burner with auspicious beasts in curled ears was quietly emitting smoke that curled continuously. The white jade pillars were carved with patterns of flying dragons and auspicious clouds. The six-foot-wide dragon bed was hung with a shark silk curtain, and two figures were entangled inside.

If Bai Qiuchen were here, he would definitely feel that the people inside were very familiar.

A month ago, Zhao Qingxue was found downstream of the Forget-Your-Sorrows River, but she had lost her memory and could not remember anything. She was very dependent on the first person she saw when she opened her eyes.

He told her politely and gently that his name was Dongfang Huaijin.

Dongfang Huaijin was afraid that she would be stimulated again, so he brought her back to the palace and took good care of her.

On the way, the "Endless Life" poison broke out once, and Dongfang Huaijin cured her of the poison. Since then, Zhao Qingxue has become more dependent on her.

"Your Majesty, what kind of person was I before?" Zhao Qingxue rested her head on the man's arm, her small hands restlessly rubbing circles on his chest.

The man grabbed her arm, turned around and pressed her down, biting her neck. Zhao Qingxue couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

"Call me Ajin."

【Come and repeat with me, prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony, and build a socialist modern country (??w??)??】

The clouds and fog have dispersed, and the sudden rain has stopped.

Zhao Qingxue panted and hugged Dongfang Huaijin: "Is my past a taboo that cannot be mentioned?" She pouted her red lips and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me."

Dongfang Huaijin smoothed her scattered hair behind her ears, his expression struggling. He was afraid of losing her, but also afraid that she would become depressed again.

But she has the right to know her past.

"If you really want to know, I'll tell you."

He told everything he knew.

Zhao Qingxue started crying as she listened, and her bright peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"You said I was married before and loved a young man?"

"...Yes." Dongfang Huaijin held her hand tightly: "Did you remember it?"

"Woo——" Zhao Qingxue cried even harder, her bright peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "How can I be worthy of you like this."

She was beautiful even when she cried. Dongfang Huaijin loved the way she cried. He leaned forward with his thin lips to kiss away her tears. His voice was low and funny, yet also a little distressing.

He was afraid that she would not want her, but she was afraid that he would despise her.

"I don't dislike you, but you dislike yourself."

Her eyes were misty with tears, and she asked cautiously: "You really don't dislike me?"

She thought: How could I not despise him? He was the emperor, he had all the women he wanted, but it had to be her.

"I only regret that I didn't meet you earlier." He felt sorry for the suffering she had endured. Those men were still looking for her all over the world. Who would have thought that she was in the palace.

Dongfang Huaijin felt secretly happy. The treasure you found is now mine.

"Ajin."

"Hmm?" Dongfang Huaijin looked at her.

"I love you so much!"

Something seemed to explode in Dongfang Huaijin's mind, and a hot and swollen emotion filled his chest. He said hotly: "Actually, I have a secret to tell you..."

As the sound of even breathing was heard, Dongfang Huaijin laughed silently, tucked the corner of the quilt gently for her, and fell asleep while holding her.

Dongfang Huaijin loved her and never confined her to the palace. She could freely enter and exit every corner of the palace, including the Golden Throne Hall and the Imperial Study.

He would take Zhao Qingxue to participate in any interesting activities in the capital and generously tell the whole world about his preference for her.

Zhao Qingxue was the talk of the town at the time and she declined several invitations to parties because she was getting married. It would be her first marriage in her life and, if nothing unexpected happened, would also be her last.

She didn't have to worry about what to wear. What she had to familiarize herself with were the movements and etiquette, such as what movements to make when singing the ritual, which direction to stand, and even what posture to use when climbing up the city wall. All of these had their own rules.

Dongfang Huaijin saw that she was so tired, so he told her to do whatever she wanted. However, Zhao Qingxue was unwilling to do so. He had chosen her against all odds, so how could she let him embarrass himself in front of thousands of his subjects?

The ministers had raised questions about the matter of establishing the queen, but the questions were useless. Dongfang Huaijin was the emperor, and their status as ministers meant that they could only advise and not force, otherwise they would be committing treason.

On April 28th of the third year of Yongfeng, the emperor and empress got married.

As the first wedding of the emperor and empress in the history of the Yong Dynasty (the previous emperors got married before they ascended the throne, and only conferred titles on them after they ascended the throne), the ceremony was very grand and complicated.

Zhao Qingxue held Dongfang Huaijin's hand and stood at the highest point to accept the people's worship. Occasionally, she glanced at one place and was stunned. She seemed to have seen those people before.

Dongfang Huaijin followed her gaze, held Zhao Qingxue's hand tightly, then naturally relaxed a little, and nodded slightly to Lan Che, Bai Qiuchen, Tang Jingyao and Pei Yu below.

Just like old friends.

Pei Yu did not die after being hit by a hairpin from Zhao Qingxue. He fell from a high place and landed on the back of the eagle he had raised since he was a child. The eagle brought him back to the Shadow Tower, and it was his loyal and kind subordinates who pulled him back from the hands of death.

Tang Jingyao was locked up by Li Mei after the wedding farce. The antidote made by Tu Lao saved all the martial artists who were still alive. Finally, Tang Jingyao passed out from hunger strike, and Li Mei let him out of the room.

However, Tang Shangyun told him that Zhao Qingxue had jumped into the river and died.

He just felt like the sky was falling.

He didn't even go back to Yu Jian Villa, and spent the whole day in a small boat on the Wang You River, drifting aimlessly.

"Oh, heartless river, how can you have the heart to swallow up my love!"

"stop fighting!"

Tang Jingyao saw Lan Che who looked like a savage.

After Zhao Qingxue disappeared, Lan Che used the small house in the valley as a temporary residence. He firmly believed that she was not dead, and as long as he kept looking, he would definitely find her.

He mentioned his tattered old tea: "My friend in the capital told me that Zhao Qingxue is in the palace and will soon become the queen."

"Really, she is still alive." Tang Jingyao cried with joy.

The two of them went to Beijing together. On the way, they met Bai Qiuchen and Pei Yu who were also going to Beijing. They looked at Zhao Qingxue on the city wall in silence. She seemed to have forgotten them.

Bai Qiuchen recognized half of Dongfang Huaijin's face.

"Zi Yu, it turned out to be him."

Yes, when the previous emperor was in power, the fight for the throne was very fierce. The princes fought to the death, and even the emperor's grandsons were affected, and some died or were disabled. Only the nineteenth prince, who was sent away at a young age, was healthy, and finally got the chance to become the emperor.

It was exactly three years ago when he ascended the throne. Lan Che disappeared with him. There had been no news about them in the martial arts world for a long time. It turned out that he had gone to the court.

Bai Qiuchen asked Lan Che: "Zi Yu is the emperor, then what are you?"

"Ah, I am Sima Lanche, the youngest son of the Northwest General. My name is Lanche. I didn't lie to you."

Bai Qiuchen: “…” So he is just a pure gangster. No, now there are also Pei Yu and Tang Jingyao.

Pei Yu rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at? I am the prince of Liang, and I am different from you."

Bai Qiuchen: “…” Forget it, he is the leader of the martial arts world after all. Tang Jingyao really has nothing except the title of the young master of Yu Jian Villa.

Tang Jingyao was furious: "Bai Qiuchen, what do you mean!"

"Means nothing."

Tang Jingyao: "..." He is the youngest, can he say "Don't bully the young because they are poor"? Forget it, being poor is being poor, there is no need to make so many excuses.
