On the day of the grand wedding, Zhao Lingfeng was shoved into a prison cart and escorted out of the capital. Meanwhile, Yun Che and I officially worshipped heaven and earth, becoming husband and wife. From that moment on, Zhao Lingfeng completely lost the qualification to compete with me. For Yun Che and me, it was just the beginning.
Two years after our marriage, Yun Che not only did not hinder my business endeavors but actively supported them. He never expressed any dissatisfaction or uttered any nonsense about women not being suited for business. His surroundings were peaceful and undisturbed, free from those flirtatious distractions.
Su Wan'er was sent back to the Prime Minister's Residence shortly after our marriage by the Empress Dowager. But she would never willingly accept this fate. She was now being promised to another for the second time; even though she remained untouched, in the eyes of others, she had already become an old maid who had been engaged twice.
The doors of the Prime Minister's Residence would no longer open for her. This time, it would be even harder for her to return to War King Manor. She could only be sent to another minister's inner residence, becoming someone else's concubine. The Empress Dowager decided to marry her off to a deputy general under my father.
It was said that before marrying, Su Wan'er bowed three times to the Empress Dowager. Her eyes were filled with complexity—fear of an uncertain future, gratitude towards the Empress Dowager, and complicated feelings towards me. However, all of this had nothing to do with me anymore. I had Yun Che, and Su Wan'er had her own place.
After eight years of marriage with Yun Che, we had a son and a daughter. Since both children liked to cling to me from a young age and I truly had no time to accompany them, when they turned six, I sent them both to War King Manor. This way, my father and mother could help take care of them. Moreover, they were quite lonely themselves.
My Eldest Son is eight years old this year, and I don't know if it's inherited from the War King, but he has shown great talent in martial arts. The king is so pleased that he can't stop smiling, personally teaching him every day and even claiming that the responsibilities of War King Manor will be handed over to my Eldest Son in the future.
As for the Young Girl, she is five years old this year and resembles me more. At such a young age, she has a keen interest in business. Whenever I go on business trips, she insists on following me.
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. My business has grown larger and more extensive. Hua Weiyang is no longer the woman abandoned by Prince Zhao Lingfeng years ago. Now, I am as wealthy as a nation.
Over these five years, Yun Che has indeed kept his word; apart from me, he hasn't approached any other woman at all. My status, combined with my wealth, has made it rare for nobles to openly belittle merchants anymore. I am no longer that lowly merchant woman.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the old emperor suddenly fell gravely ill. Someone from the palace came to say that His Majesty requested Yun Che to enter the palace.
"Wife, don't worry; I'll be back soon," Yun Che told me, and I believed him. However, he was gone for two days. On the third day, someone from the palace arrived to announce that the old emperor had passed away.
As for the New Emperor, it turned out not to be the current crown prince but rather Crown Prince Zhao Lingyun. It was said that before his death, the old emperor finally found his missing Crown Prince after fifteen years. He went against all opposition and named Zhao Lingyun as his successor. Moreover, three days later would be the coronation ceremony.
Zhao Lingyun is the old emperor's Eldest Son and also born of the Late Empress. However, the Late Empress was not favored.
Fifteen years ago, the queen's palace caught fire. The Crown Prince and the Late Empress both perished in that blaze. However, the War King told me that the fire was set intentionally. The night before the New Emperor ascended the throne, a eunuch came to the palace, claiming to be sent by His Majesty to bring me and the children into the palace. My Eldest Daughter was a bit nervous, clutching my leg and softly saying, "Mother, I'm scared." My son, only seven years old, stood with his hands on his hips, trying to mimic his Grandfather: "Don't be afraid, sister. With me here, I will surely protect you and mother."
