Chao Qinglan fell silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally closed his eyes and turned his head.
Xiao Yan squinted his eyes and said, " Qinglan, does this mean you'll listen and obey?" His voice carried a hint of provocation and playfulness, but also revealed a touch of gentleness and concern.
Chao Qinglan finally remained silent, only nodding gently. In Xiao Yan's embrace, she found an unprecedented sense of security and warmth.
She knew that no matter how the outside world changed, the emotions between her and Xiao Yan were indestructible.
Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan's room, the two figures elongated in the candlelight, forming a warm and complex scene. Their conversation, like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminated each other's innermost feelings.
" Qinglan, this time, I don't want to have any reservations." Xiao Yan's voice was low and firm, filled with anticipation and determination for the future. His gaze was locked onto Chao Qinglan, attempting to resolve all of her doubts and fears.
Chao Qinglan gently leaned against Xiao Yan's chest, her eyes shimmering with complex emotions. On one hand, she was deeply moved by her profound love for Xiao Yan, and on the other hand, she was worried about the unknown challenges in the future.
"Your Majesty, I..." Chao Qinglan's words were interrupted by Xiao Yan's gentle kiss. This kiss, like the warm sunlight of spring, melted away all doubts and unease.
Xiao Yan gently caressed Chao Qinglan's cheek, each touch seemed to express his endless love and commitment. In his embrace, Chao Qinglan felt an unprecedented sense of security and happiness.
One day, Emperor Xiao Yan stood in front of the imperial study's window, looking at the scenery outside, his brow slightly furrowed. He knew that as the emperor, he must face all of this and find a solution.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Zhao family has arrived," a eunuch reported in a low voice.
"Let him in." Xiao Yan turned around, his expression returning to calm.
The envoy of the Zhao family entered the study, with a cautious and uneasy look. He knew that the purpose of today's visit involved the delicate relationship between the royal family and the aristocracy.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao family is dissatisfied with the selection of the concubine, believing it to be a great disrespect to Empress Zhao Qinglan," the messenger said in a low voice.
A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, "Has the Zhao family forgotten who supported them in the first place, allowing them to secure a prominent position as the first family, with both civil and military officials being highly regarded?"
The messenger's expression became even more serious upon hearing this. He knew that this was Xiao Yan's warning to the Zhao family and also his stance on the matter.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao family is willing to continue supporting the royal family, but they also hope that Your Majesty will consider the feelings of the Queen," the messenger said cautiously.
Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment, then took a deep breath. "I understand. Go back and tell your family leader that I will make a decision."
After the messenger left, Xiao Yan fell into contemplation. Resolving the dissatisfaction of the Zhao family was not an easy task, but more importantly, he needed to maintain stability within the country and counter external threats.
At that moment, Chao Qinglan gently knocked on the door and entered, her eyes carrying a hint of worry. "Your Majesty, are you troubled by the matter of the Zhao family?"
Xiao Yan looked at her, with a gentle look in his eyes. "Qinglan, it's my fault for making you worry."
Chao Qinglan walked gently to his side, took his hand, and said, "No matter when, I will always be with you. We will face everything together."
Xiao Yan looked at her affectionately and felt incredibly strong in that moment. "We will definitely get through all of this."
Chao Qinglan's words are full of determination and confidence. She believes that as long as she and Xiao Yan work hand in hand, they can overcome any challenge together.
Xiao Yan feels her support and encouragement, and his doubts and anxieties dissipate somewhat. He knows that Chao Qinglan is his strongest support, and with her by his side, he has boundless courage and confidence.
"Thank you, Qinglan," Xiao Yan gently held her hand, his eyes filled with gratitude and warmth. "With you by my side, I feel incredibly happy."
Chao Qinglan smiled slightly, knowing that her presence meant a lot to Xiao Yan. She was willing to support him with her strength, to help him become a better emperor.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly entered to report, "Your Majesty, an envoy from Northern Wei requests an audience."
Xiao Yan furrowed his brow, knowing that the envoy from Northern Wei must have important matters to discuss. He immediately ordered the envoy to be admitted.
The envoy of Northern Wei entered the study, and with a Xiao Zhan expression, respectfully greeted Xiao Yan before speaking, "Your Majesty, the King of Northern Wei has sent me to convey a message to you."
Xiao Yan felt a stir in his heart, knowing that this message must be related to the relationship between the two countries. He Xiao Zhan ly gestured for the envoy to continue.
The envoy respectfully said, "The King of Northern Wei expresses willingness to reconcile with Liang Kindom and has proposed a mutually beneficial offer."
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yan was delighted, knowing that reconciling with Northern Wei would be extremely important for Liang Kindom.
"What proposal does the King of Northern Wei have?" Xiao Yan asked.
The messenger respectfully replied, "The King of Northern Wei is willing to form a marital alliance with Liang Kindom to strengthen the relationship between the two countries."
Xiao Yan listened and felt a stir in his heart. He knew this was an excellent opportunity. If he could form a marital alliance with Northern Wei, it would greatly promote the development of Liang Kindom.
"Good, please tell the King of Northern Wei that I am willing to accept his proposal. Considering that my three daughters are still young, I will marry the eldest princess to Northern Wei." Xiao Yan made the decision without hesitation.
After hearing this, the envoy immediately performed a respectful bow and then hurriedly left.
Chao Qinglan looked at Xiao Yan with eyes full of surprise and joy, "Your Majesty, this is excellent news, but we still need to be vigilant against the intentions of the Emperor of Northern Wei."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, feeling joyful in his heart. " Qinglan, rest assured, this is a great opportunity, but I will also be cautious."
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight gently streamed through the delicate gauze window, casting a soft glow into the magnificent imperial study.
Emperor Xiao Yan of the Liang Kingdom stood by the window, gazing at the morning sun, his eyes reflecting a mix of determination and concern for the future of the country. He knew well that facing internal turmoil from the Zhao family and external threats from Northern Wei would be a major test in his reign.
"Your Majesty, the agenda for today's court meeting..." a eunuch interrupted Xiao Yan's contemplation with a soft voice.
Xiao Yan turned around, his expression returning to calm. "Hmm, I understand. You may go."
At the morning court meeting, the faces of the ministers reflected their respective concerns and expectations. Xiao Yan sat high on the dragon throne, with a calm expression, beginning to listen to the reports and suggestions from the ministers about the domestic and foreign situation.
"Your Majesty, we must not overlook the dissatisfaction of the Zhao family. After all, they are one of the foundations of the country. If the foundation is not stable, the country will be difficult to secure," a senior minister cautiously pointed out.
Another general reported the movements of the Northern Wei Army with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "It seems that the Northern Wei is preparing for a major southward movement. We must be prepared and defend the border."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, fully aware of the seriousness of the crisis. He said in a deep voice, "Regarding the matter of the Zhao family, I have a plan and will personally mediate to ensure stability within the country. As for the threat from the Northern Wei, spread my decree to strengthen the border defense and not to be negligent."
