The Queen also dismissed the ladies and was waiting for Emperor Jingren outside the Jinluan Palace. Seeing him come out in high spirits, she smiled with relief and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Happy New Year."

There was something else in his words, and Emperor Jingren understood it.

Emperor Jingren showed a very happy smile and said, "I am quite happy. I am even happier to see the Queen."

The empress held Emperor Jingren's hand, and the two went to the Qifeng Hall of Kunning Palace together. There, the empress had already prepared wine soup and delicious snacks, waiting for Emperor Jingren to go, and the two watched the sunrise together.

As for the King of Huainan, he was taken away to rest before he could even talk to Emperor Jingren. He had a lot to say to Emperor Jingren, but Shen Junrui didn't intend to give him a chance. Tonight, Shen Junrui belonged to Xiao Jinyi.

"Your Majesty, are you in a good mood today?" The Queen poured a hangover soup for Emperor Jingren and carefully served it to him.

Emperor Jingren took the spoon and took a sip. He felt his stomach was better. His frowning brows relaxed and he smiled, "Not bad. Things are finally off to a good start."

I believe that many officials will be able to stay calm for a long time after what they have experienced today. But if they want to wait until the situation is not so tense before taking action, it is wishful thinking. Emperor Jingren will never let them raise their heads again.

"Your Majesty is wise." The Queen said from the bottom of her heart.

He also learned about Emperor Jingren's plan not long ago. When he learned that Emperor Jingren decided to temporarily put aside the assassination of King Huainan and use King Huainan to attack the ministers, the queen was worried and admired. She was worried that King Huainan really had a problem with his brain and tied up Emperor Jingren. She admired Emperor Jingren's boldness and carefulness. He was able to temporarily put aside the assassination and use King Huainan instead. What kind of mind and intelligence can come up with and implement this plan

The little emperor is so fascinating.

The queen finally understood why she was fascinated by Emperor Jingren, not only because he was good to her, but also because this emperor, as a true emperor, could try to keep his original heart and not be blinded by the supreme power. He was Emperor Jingren, but he was always Shen Junrui. For such a wise king, I really don't know what could make him put everything aside and devote all his energy to love someone.

Seeing Emperor Jingren like this, the Queen knew that everyone who came here was carrying an impossible mission.

Their mission is to make Emperor Jingren fall in love with someone like he did with Su Huailing in the original novel, give up everything for that person, and finally pass the throne to someone else, while he and his lover live together and travel around the world.

The original novel did it indeed. The original novel is a popular novel on the Jinjiang website called "All the World". In the original novel, Emperor Jingren's brain went wrong when he met Su Huailing. All his wisdom and mind turned into a mess. There was only Su Huailing in his eyes and heart. For her, he didn't care about his country and the world. He loved Su Huailing with all his heart, just like King You of Zhou who played tricks on the princes by using the country to please Su Huailing.

However, the holographic strategy game adapted from the novel has perfected the characters' personalities. The optical brain has made initial settings for the characters based on the original work, and the intelligent NPCs will do things according to what is reasonable in their minds. The beginning of the story is the same as the original, but the subsequent direction depends on the NPC's own choices.

But when the characters' personalities returned to their original settings, the latest data gave the NPCs new life, and they... No, they behaved strictly according to their originally set personalities, and the situation in which the characters' personalities in the original work collapsed in the later period would definitely not occur.

How could such a perfect and well-rounded character, such a young emperor who was determined to be a wise ruler, give up the heavy burden of the world he had shouldered for just one person

Abandoning everything for love is not love that moves the heavens and the earth, but abandoning all responsibilities for selfish desires. Can a person who abandons the responsibilities he should bear really bear this deep love? When the overwhelming feelings are diluted by time and return to calm, will Emperor Jingren regret looking at the mountains and rivers that belong to others, will he feel resentment towards Su Huailing, and will he abandon this relationship again

It is not written in the original novel. It only tells that Emperor Jingren and Su Huailing retired to the mountains and became a fairy couple. What happened in the future, just like the prince and princess in the Grimm fairy tale ended up together, did not tell the ending. But in fact, the prince and princess will eventually become the king and queen. It is also possible that the queen will die early and the king will marry someone else. Maybe the beginning of Snow White is the ending of Cinderella. Who knows these things

But there is one thing the Queen is sure of, these things will never happen to Emperor Jingren. He will conscientiously take on his responsibilities, so that no one in Daxia will starve, and no one will dare to invade this country!

The Queen did not want Emperor Jingren to give up everything for her. What she wanted was to protect the little emperor and help him fulfill all his dreams and ambitions, even if Emperor Jingren would have children with other women and even if he had to raise someone else's child.

He was willing to do so in order for those eyes to remain bright forever.

He will protect Emperor Jingren until the last moment, even if no one knows when the last moment will come. But for the queen, no one knows what the future will be like. Maybe he will die of illness tomorrow. If he suppresses his inner feelings because of illusion, he will always regret letting these bright eyes be stained with sadness. Whether it is illusion or reality, what he has is the present. Now, he is Xiao Jinyi, he is with Shen Junrui, and they are in love.

If one day all this turns to ashes, he will still remember that he loved an NPC who was more upright, responsible and fascinating than humans, and he would love her until death.

Xiao Jinyi did not intend to tell Shen Junrui the truth. He wanted him to be the always serious and hardworking Emperor Jingren, and he would bear all the truth and cruelty alone.

Seeing Emperor Jingren pick up the spoon and was about to drink the soup, the empress suddenly grabbed his wrist, used Emperor Jingren's hand to put the spoon to her mouth, drank the soup, and said, "I suddenly remembered that I drank alcohol today and need to sober up."

Emperor Jingren stared at the spoon and sighed, "I remember that the Queen has a huge appetite and won't get drunk even after two or three jars of wine."

"But the hangover soup your majesty fed me made me drunk." The queen teased subtly.

"I didn't feed you," the veins on Emperor Jingren's forehead stretched, "My queen was dignified and generous, when did she become so... so lecherous!"

"Your Majesty probably doesn't know what the frontier soldiers and young ladies in Mobei are like." The Queen fed Emperor Jingren a mouthful of soup. Seeing that he drank it despite his anger, she continued, "Mobei is bitterly cold, and the women are tall. They are not as graceful and charming as the women in the south of the Yangtze River, and their personalities are also very fierce. The frontier soldiers don't see women all year round. Occasionally, when they take a break, they go from the frontier to the city to buy some items. When they see beautiful and lively girls, they can't take their eyes off them."

Seeing that Emperor Jingren was fascinated, the Queen continued, "If it were in the capital, a man who stared at an innocent girl like this would be a pervert, and the girl's innocence would be ruined if he looked at her. But in Mobei, if a girl was looked at like this, if she didn't like it, she would go up to that guy and kick him in the crotch. Ahem, Your Majesty doesn't need to know what that move is..."

"I know!" Emperor Jingren growled, the veins on his forehead throbbing. It was unclear whether he was angry that the Queen thought he didn't know or that the Queen told him such a dirty trick.

"If she likes him a little, she will go up to him and ask him about his family situation and whether he can stay in Mobei and bring his parents and brothers over."

"Nonsense." Emperor Jingren's thoughts were still very serious. "A woman must obey her husband when she is married. There is no such rule."

"Yes, but the girl will also say, you bring your parents to Mobei, if you die in battle, I will take your children and parents with me and remarry, raise children for you and take care of your parents." The smile on the queen's face disappeared, and he said word by word, "You defend the country at the front, I will bear children for you, support your parents, and let you never have to worry about the future."

After hearing his words, Emperor Jingren did not blame women like some corrupt scholars, thinking that they should have chastity arches erected for them and accusing them from a high position. Instead, he sighed: "The sons and daughters of the frontier are all heroes."

Those who guard the country with their flesh and blood are heroes, and those who survive alone to support a family are also heroes. It is his responsibility to provide these heroes with a stable country.

The Queen took the hand of Emperor Jingren, kissed it gently and said, "With a king like this, even if there is no body left, the sons and daughters of the frontier will firmly guard the border and not let foreign races invade at all, and will not let foreign races trample on the land of Xia, even if they die without regrets."

Emperor Jingren's face was slightly hot, and he said in a deep voice: "I will not let any martyr die without a name, and I will not let his relatives live without support."

He has been working hard for this, and this is his greatest wish in his lifetime.

"Your Majesty's wish is my wish." The Queen stood up and walked to Emperor Jingren, hugging him. "Your Majesty wants this country to be stable and wants an heir to inherit it. I will support you."

Emperor Jingren was slightly stunned. He understood what the Queen meant. This was a compromise with himself and with the selection of concubines.

The queen was obviously a man, so why did he not ask questions or get angry, and treat the queen as usual? Why did he know that the queen was a man, but he still couldn't take back the heart that was left on him

Emperor Jingren understood now.

Because in this country, the only one who can work with him to shoulder the responsibility of this vast empire is the Queen.

Emperor Jingren hugged the queen tightly back and promised in a deep voice: "I will never let you down."

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am not someone who will suffer any loss. If I am willing to compromise, it must be conditional."

"What are the conditions?" Emperor Jingren said with a smile, "As long as Jinyi wants it, as long as I have it, I will give it to you."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to let your family and country down to give me this thing. Only your Majesty can give it to me." The Queen smiled and picked up Emperor Jingren horizontally, whispering in his ear, "The sun rises late in winter. It will be a long time before tomorrow's sunrise. We have a lot of time."

"What does Jinyi want to do?" Emperor Jingren asked with his eyes wide open. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
