Chapter 134 A Ray of Light in Life

Feng Yaoguang stayed in the Princess's Mansion for most of the night.

In the first half of the night, the two discussed plans to deal with emergencies, and in the second half of the night, Feng Yaoguang slept next to Yan Donghuang.

This was a rare time for the two to be alone before the expedition.

From today on, she was the emperor sitting firmly in the palace, and he was General Yaoguang who fought on the battlefield - perhaps the last time he fought on the battlefield.

When he came back from the battle in Nanling, he should choose to take off his armor and enter the palace, and from then on he would only be a royal husband and would no longer hold the military power.

Feng Yaoguang closed his eyes and couldn't sleep.

Fragments of his life in Nanling during his youth occasionally appeared in his mind. Those days of depression, humiliation, and disgusting like maggots at every moment finally ended when he was seventeen years old.

For seventeen years, he was judged by everyone like an unforgivable sinner. Even if he made himself stronger at all costs, even if he tried countless times to prove that he was a useful son, he was still the least favored prince of the royal family.

His father looked at him like a rat in a gutter, with disgust and resentment.

He used to be unable to figure out what he had done wrong.

Later, when he knew the truth, he finally felt relieved.

He was never the one who did wrong, but the dirty man who thought he was in control of everything and wanted to make everyone in the world crawl at his feet.

Feng Yaoguang closed his eyes, immersed in the darkness, recalling the time when he was in a desperate situation, like a trapped beast that could not find a way out, lonely and painful, alone, looking for the glimmer of light in the darkness.

Until he was covered with wounds, he thought he was finally free.

But suddenly he opened his eyes from the endless dark abyss, and there was light in his life from then on.

Thinking of the days of fighting side by side on the battlefield.

Thinking of galloping on the battlefield with her, as if flying in the sky, the wind whistling in his ears swept away the stagnation of the heart demon bit by bit.

During those days, he went from being cautious, fearful, and doubtful to trusting, and truly experienced a feeling of rebirth.

That was a ray of light in his life.

It was a light that he could not live up to or betray even if he was torn to pieces.

…

The next morning, before dawn.

Feng Yaoguang, with two circles of shadows under his eyes, arrived at Qingluan Palace to say goodbye to Yan Donghuang.

Yan Donghuang was changing clothes, and the people serving her were Changlan and Changyue, and the imperial eunuch Meng Zhou was waiting outside the palace.

"Your Majesty." Feng Yaoguang said in a low voice, "I will leave first."

Yan Donghuang looked at him: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I couldn't sleep." Feng Yaoguang said truthfully, "I can't help but think of some things in the past."

Yan Donghuang said in a steady voice: "After entering Nanling, whatever you want to do, just do it according to your own wishes, without worrying about anything."

Feng Yaoguang replied yes, turned around and strode away.

There were no extra words, as if all the tacit understanding and trust were silent.

Yan Donghuang changed into a dragon robe and walked out of Qingluan Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a nanny came hurriedly and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"Several young masters in the backyard learned that Your Majesty had ascended the throne, and they clamored to see Your Majesty, saying that they were Your Majesty's people and should enter the palace to serve Your Majesty and get the status they deserved."

Get the status they deserved?

No matter how you listen to this sentence, there is a weird and unreal feeling.

When they criticized the crown prince together, their indignant and disdainful tone of serving others with beauty was really unforgettable.

Has their attitude changed in just a few days?

Yan Donghuang said indifferently: "After learning the rules for so long, they still dare to quarrel and make trouble. It seems that the nanny's methods are not enough."

The nanny kneeling on the ground changed her face and kowtowed quickly: "I know, I will teach them the rules again."

Yan Donghuang said nothing more and walked out of the mansion.

Outside the gate of the Princess's Mansion, the emperor's carriage was in full swing, and the guards and maids all knelt down to welcome the emperor.

Not far from the imperial carriage, a man in a green robe knelt there quietly, and it was unknown how long he had been kneeling.

The weather in February was still cold, and it had not yet entered the season of spring flowers. The man was only wearing a thin green robe, which made his body look tall and thin. When he knelt in silence, he looked quite dignified.

He should have been quite dignified, otherwise Yan Donghuang would not have been willing to marry him.

Sheng Jing'an.

He looked much thinner after more than a month.

It was so quiet outside the Princess's Mansion that you could hear a pin drop.

The guards were waiting for the new emperor. The imperial carriage was noble and luxurious, and there were countless eunuchs and maids in front and behind. It was the scene arranged by Rong Chun to welcome him.

The reason why Sheng Jingan could kneel there was obviously because he was still Yan Donghuang's fiancé for the time being. The palace servants could not figure out what Yan Donghuang's attitude towards him was, so they did not dare to drive him away easily.

Yan Donghuang did not speak, but took Changyue's hand and walked to the imperial sedan chair and sat down.

"Your Majesty." Sheng Jingan looked up at her, his face pale, his expression respectful and forbearing, and he looked like he was very infatuated, "I am here to ask for forgiveness."

Yan Donghuang sat steadily: "What crime do you ask for?"

"I was disrespectful to Your Majesty a few days ago, failed to recognize my own identity, interfered with Your Majesty's decision without authorization, and even made false comments on the crown prince. I deserve to die." Sheng Jingan lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, "I know that I am short-sighted and extremely stupid, but I ask Your Majesty to give me a chance to make up for it for the sake of my past relationship with Your Majesty. I am willing to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty, even if I don't have the title of the emperor's husband."

"No title of the emperor's husband?" Yan Donghuang leaned on the imperial carriage and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it okay to be a male concubine?"

Sheng Jing'an's face turned pale: "...Yes."

Yan Donghuang glanced at him carelessly, and suddenly nodded, "Okay. Starting today, you will be a male concubine."

After speaking, she raised her hand and made a gesture, and she instructed Meng Zhou: "After returning to the palace, prepare a bedroom suitable for male concubines to live in, prepare clothes for male concubines to wear, and learn the rules of male concubines before he is qualified to serve me."

Meng Zhou agreed: "Yes."

Sheng Jing'an was a little angry, angry that Yan Donghuang humiliated him in front of so many people, but fortunately he got what he wanted.

He was sure that Yan Donghuang was just angry at his previous disrespect.

As long as he entered the palace, he would have a legitimate excuse to meet her every day. They had a relationship for many years. As long as he showed enough tolerance, sincere feelings, and compromised, she would always be soft-hearted.

Sheng Jingan had been imagining countless ways to make Yan Donghuang soft-hearted, imagining a comeback, but he didn't know that from this moment on, he was destined to be humiliated in the future, and there would be no hope of seeing the light again.

"Go."

Meng Zhou shouted: "Go--"

The imperial carriage entered the palace in a grand manner. Yan Donghuang, sitting on the imperial sedan chair, raised his hand to support his forehead, and the corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly.

Since he couldn't wait to enter the palace and was willing to lower himself and kneel in the Princess's Mansion just to let her see his sincerity, how could she not be happy to fulfill it?

Give him a little hope, and he will have the courage to continue jumping around, just as a toy to kill time when government affairs are boring.

If he jumps around more, she will have a reason to get rid of him.

And that Yan Ming.

None of the people who harmed her in the previous life can escape in this life.
