After Yan Chenyu's founding of the country, the declaration of war, and the severing of relations.
The emperor no longer had any sympathy for Yan Chenyu.
Not long after Yan Chenyu was captured and brought back to Dongli Kingdom, the emperor ordered his beheading.
The former crown prince of Dongli Kingdom just disappeared from the world.
…
Five years later.
Because of Dongli's strong national power and Ning Baishuang's reputation.
In the past five years, Dongli Kingdom has shown faint signs of becoming the leader of the nations.
Every year on the emperor's birthday, many foreign envoys would come to wish him a happy birthday.
In the street market, vendors sell not only local specialties, but also many specialties and delicacies from other countries.
Many people from other countries came to Dongli Country, got married there, and integrated into the life of Dongli Country.
No, it will be the emperor's birthday soon.
The already lively Dongli Country is even more lively, and faces of people from other countries can be seen everywhere.
At the end of the road, a carriage suddenly appeared.
Next to the carriage was a horse, and a woman with long hair tied up in a jade crown was riding on the horse, looking heroic.
"It's the general!" someone shouted.
Everyone on the street would greet Bai Shuang excitedly with a smile when she passed by.
Bai Shuang always maintained a faint smile.
The carriage arrived at a relatively empty square in the center of the street and stopped.
Bai Shuang turned over and dismounted, and that crisp and neat movement made the young men and women applaud with admiration.
Bai Shuang walked to the carriage and opened a corner of the curtain.
"Are you ready?" she asked softly.
"Ready." A man's deep and pleasant voice came from inside the carriage.
The common people were all whispering to each other.
They were curious about what the general wanted to do.
A hand as white as jade stretched out from the carriage and completely opened the curtain.
Then.
The man who looked like an immortal, dressed in white robes, slowly stepped out of the carriage.
He didn't walk very fast, and every movement seemed to be cautious, but also revealed the joy of being reborn.
His eyebrows are picturesque, his facial features are exquisite, and his temperament is extraordinary.
He has an extraordinary handsome appearance, a face that has never been seen before in Kyoto.
"I would like to introduce you to you ceremoniously."
Bai Shuang took the initiative to take the man's hand, raised it, and said to the common people: "This is the king of the court, and he is also the person I like."
Bai Shuang's words were like thunder on the ground, so loud that the people couldn't react at all.
When they came to their senses, the general and the king were gone!
Ah! Oh my god! Is that man actually the king?
But the king wears a ghost face all day long, isn't it said that his face is extremely ugly and his face is covered with burn scars?
Moreover, the entire people of Dongli Kingdom knew that the king's legs had been disabled for many years and he had to rely on a wheelchair to move around all day long.
That man who is as handsome as an immortal and moves freely is actually the king of the court?!
After giving the people a surprise, Bai Shuang and Yan Chao entered the palace and delivered the surprise to the emperor.
In the imperial study room, when the emperor saw Yan Chao walking freely and his face restored to its original appearance, he was so shocked that he dropped his brush.
"You, are you the Yan Dynasty?" The emperor couldn't help but stand up from the dragon throne.
"Father, I am here." Yan Chao looked at him with a faint smile.
The emperor couldn't believe his eyes, "Your face, your legs..."
"Father, this is all thanks to Shuang'er." Yan Chao turned his head and smiled at Bai Shuang.
"Your Majesty, for the past five years, I have been working tirelessly to help the king with acupuncture.
I read countless ancient books and tried countless methods, and finally the emperor paid off and the king’s leg was cured.”
By the way, Bai Shuang also took responsibility for the fact that Yan Chaofan was cured.
The emperor was so surprised that he was speechless.
After a while, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay!
Bai Shuang, I really didn’t make a mistake.
Back then, it was precisely because of you that we were able to repel the barbarians, and by the way, the barbarian country became a vassal state of Dongli.
It was also from the barbarian country that neighboring countries, large and small, began to express friendship to us.
You are indispensable for the development of Dongli Country into the prosperous state it is today!
Now, you have cured one of my favorite sons!
Tell me, what reward do you want?
No matter what the reward is, I promise you!"
Hearing this, Bai Shuang raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, "Your Majesty, are you serious about this?
No matter what reward I want, will the emperor give it to me?"
The emperor waved his hand and smiled happily, "Of course, I am the emperor, I can speak gold and make promises worth thousands of dollars!"
"Okay." Bai Shuang immediately knelt down to ask for the order, "Then please ask the emperor to grant marriage to me and the king!"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor was stunned.
He couldn't help but look at Yan Chao, who also knelt down under his gaze.
"Father, my son, my ministers, and the general are in love with each other. They have already made a private decision for life. I hope that my father can grant me a marriage."
The emperor suddenly remembered the scene five years ago when Yan Chao secretly went to the border and came back to apologize to him.
"Father." At that time, Yan Chao was still sitting in a wheelchair, but he climbed out of the wheelchair and knelt on the ground.
"I went to the border area privately because I guessed that the general who controlled the barbarians might be Ning Baishuang.
I must go and see the truth, otherwise my heart will be uneasy!"
"Why do you feel uneasy?" the emperor asked angrily.
Yan Chao said: "Because I have her in my heart."
At that time, the emperor himself felt that Yan Chao and Bai Shuang were not worthy of each other.
What's more, Bai Shuang has made many military exploits and defeated the barbarians.
Bai Shuang is a famous general who has made great achievements in battle and is destined to be famous for thousands of generations.
And the Yan Dynasty?
He is just an ugly prince with a broken leg.
Regardless of appearance or status, they are not worthy.
But today, five years later, Dang Baishuang stands with Yan Chao, who has regained his health and appearance.
The emperor actually felt that they were a good match.
The emperor recalled how smart and sensitive the Yan Dynasty was when he was young, and how well he handled government affairs.
The position of prince has been vacant for many years, and as a general, Ning Baishuang really likes the Yan Dynasty.
So--
"Okay, since you two are so sincere, then I will grant you a marriage!"
The emperor sat back at the table and asked the eunuch to sharpen his ink so that he could write the imperial edict.
After writing one imperial edict, there is another one.
"Father, doesn't granting marriage only require an imperial edict?" Yan Chao asked puzzledly.
After the emperor finished writing the last word, he put down his brush and laughed loudly: "Silly boy, not only will I grant you a marriage, I will also make you the crown prince.
Now that you have recovered your health, you must help me with government affairs from now on!"
Even though Yan Chao was mentally prepared, when he personally heard the emperor say that he would be canonized as a prince.
Yan Chao's heart still stirred up waves.
Prince...
Is he a prince?
The news that Yan Chao was canonized as a prince soon spread throughout the palace.
"What? Yan Chao? Did you hear correctly?"
When the queen heard the news, she was puckering her lips and applying lipstick.
She turned her head anxiously, and the bright red powder smeared her makeup.
