Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

Twenty-five years of Yonghe in the Winter.

King Qi talked about good luck and wanted to expand his territory westward, so, he declared a war on the Jing Kingdom.

Seven days later, the general from Qi Kingdom was shot off his horse by Feng Chilie, the general of Jing Kingdom, his body was hacked with knives so bad that it was beyond recognition.

Since then, Qi Kingdom had been retreating steadily.

Seven days later, Feng Chilie was attacked by an assassin, fell off his horse and broke his legs.

Despite this, Feng Chilie’s Wolf Eagle Cavalry defeated Qi Kingdom easily and approached the capital of Qi Kingdom.

The two sides held a stalemate at Hangu Pass for five days. Qi Kingdom took the initiative to send envoys to the Jing Kingdom’s camps.

The two sides began to negotiate a truce.

Qi Kingdom promised to give thirty-six cities in the Pingchuan for the Jing Kingdom, in hope they would withdraw their troops and left Qi Kingdom as soon as possible.

But who would have expected, Jing Kingdom’s was so ambitious that they asked the Qi Kingdom to send a prince and let him marry General Feng Chilie, they even willing to offer gold and withdraw their troops.

It was said to be a marriage agreement, but it was like sending a servant for Feng Chilie who had broken his legs.

What a shame!

Qi Kingdom obviously had three princesses. Although, they weren’t the most beautiful in the world but they were still beautiful women. This Jing Kingdom actually wanted a prince to marry a man!!

What kind of nonsense was this??

The envoy from the Qi Kingdom stepped out of the tent with a sullen face. He directly wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the capital at high speed.

The marriage hadn’t been settled.

.

The letter was delivered to Tan Hongyun that night. The next day, he took the letter to the morning court and looked at all the ministers, “What do you think, my dear ministers?”

In the court, everyone was discussing. Tan Hongyun listened to them; he didn’t say anything more but the letter was being crumpled in his hand.

A heavy snowfall quietly swept across the entire royal Capital. The north wind roared with ice and snow; the capital fell into a chilling atmosphere.

.

It snowed all night, dyeing the capital in the pure white powder.

Tan Chuyan knelt all night in such weather. At this time, his legs lost their feeling and his exposed fingers were all red from the cold.

“Ahem-” Tan Chuyan coughed as the cold wind entered his body.

The little eunuch who held an umbrella for him was worried, “Your highness, let’s go back. Your body is weak, don’t freeze it anymore.”

Tan Chuyan lowered his eyelashes slightly, little ice crystals hung on them were trembling gently.

He said quietly, “I know my body, I will not go back until I see my father.”

After kneeling for a while, the door of Tan Hongyun’s place opened slowly. A middle-aged man wore a dark red court uniform walked down on the snow filled stairs with a creaking sound. An old eunuch tried to hold an umbrella for him but was waved away.

“Go away!”

Tan Hongyun walked to Tan Chuyan and stopped. He looked at his son with a gloomy face, “You don’t want to get married? Why?”

Tan Chuyuan pursed his pale lips, humph, the first thing his father asked was about the marriage. He had been kneeling for so long but he didn’t even ask about his body. However, this was expected.

Tan Chuyan’s voice was weak but his expression was firm, “Qi Kingdom is my home, I don’t want to leave. What’s more…” Tan Chuyan bit his lips, “What’s more… since ancient times there was no marriage between men. This is humiliating our country!”

Even in history books, there was no written record about a man married another man as his wife. Therefore, as someone who had been experienced transmigration since he was in the womb, he felt this marriage was very wrong.

As outrageous as it was, Tan Chuyan actually didn’t feel it weird, he was making a show in front of Tan Hongyun.

Tan Hongyun frowned and kicked Tan Chuyan in the chest, “It’s not up to you whether you want it or not. You are a prince; you have no choice since you were born. It’s up to you whether you are satisfied or not, but you still have to be married, do you understand?”

Tan Chuyan was kicked and laid on the snow with his hair covering his face, in the snow, his blood was flowing in a red dazzling color.

“This son… understand.” Tan Chuyan wiped the blood from his lips and bowed deeply to Tan Hongyun, “This son will obey father’s will.”

Tan Hongyun snorted coldly and walked away with big steps. The old eunuch followed him with an umbrella. When he passed Tan Chuyan, he stopped and helped him, “Your highness, why are you doing this? Many ministers opposed this humiliating event, besides, it’s not like you don’t know the king’s temperament. Now, there is a big stir, His highness might really be married to the Jing Kingdom.”

Of course, Tan Chuyan knew exactly about Tan Hongyun’s personality. As the father, he hated when the prince was interfering in his decision-making. Moreover, under the joint advice of six ministers, Tan Hongyun had begun to waver.

But now, with Tan Chuyan kneeling down like this, Tan Hongyun would feel his royal power was challenged by his son.

He was an upright and wise man; he made his own decision when he did things. So, the princes only needed to follow his instructions and didn’t need to interfere the court affairs.

If the prince interfered, Tan Hongyun would wonder if these princes were planning to steal the throne and hoped he would return to the west earlier.

Therefore, once he got angry, he would naturally make an irrational decision.

Tan Chuyan patted the snow on his body indifferently and said to the old eunuch, “Thank you, for your concern. It is true that I didn’t think well about this matter, but the deal is already done. As the son, I could only obey it.”

The old eunuch sighed, took a big breath and jogged to catch up with Tan Hongyun.

Tan Chuyan didn’t stay any longer and returned to his palace with the young eunuch beside him.

.

Stepping into his bedroom, Tan Chuyan kicked off his snow-soaked shoes and threw himself on the bed. Then, he couldn’t hold himself from laughing.

“Hahahahaha–” after eighteen years, he finally got what he wanted.

The little eunuch next to him was surprised when he saw Tan Chuyan suddenly laughed, “Your highness, how can you still laugh at this time?”

“You have to… Hahaha… you must laugh!”

Tan Chuyan laughed louder and louder, as if the joy he had accumulated for eighteen years were bursting at this moment.

The little eunuch jumped on the spot and said anxiously, “Your highness, your brain must be frozen from the cold.”

Tan Chuyan kicked him, “Tianbao, who are cursing? Is your skin so itchy?”

Tan Chuyan was really happy, he finally could leave this prison.

When his elder brother and second brother reached the age fifteen years old, they opened their own mansions outside the palace. But now he had reached the age of eighteen years old and still lived inside the deep palace.

If he hadn’t be forced to this point, Tan Hongyun would never remember that he had a son named Tan Chuyan. Well, it wasn’t his fault that Tan Chuyan was a product of Tan Hongyun’s drunkenness.
