Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

Shang Ruyi sat next to him and whispered, "Yuan, Qian!"

Yu Wenye said, "Bao Yuan Lv De, Ruo Shui Ming Xin; Zhao Qian Xi Ti, Gong Bu Tang Juan."

"And also,"

Shang Ruyi whispered softly, "Gong Yu Wen Wu, De Mou Gao Huang. If I’m not mistaken, these words are from the memorials of the courtiers in the Later Han book to the Emperor, especially, Bao Yuan Lv De."

These are flattering words for an emperor.

Yu Wenquan actually gave his child such a name and used these words to explain it. Could he really be implying that the future child might sit on that position?

If Yuanyuan has the possibility, then Yu Wenye—

Seeing Shang Ruyi’s nervous yet excited expression, Yu Wenye also smiled and said, "Did you only hear the meaning he said out loud?"

".....?"

Shang Ruyi widened her eyes in surprise and looked at him, "What other meaning is there?"

Yu Wenye said, "Everything begins with ’Yuan (origin)’, and reaches the top with ’Qian’. Previously, the Crown Prince’s residence in the palace was named Chengqian Hall by him, and now this child’s name also has the word ’Qian’. What do you think?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

In other words, Yu Wenye’s "coercion" really worked!

As soon as this name is mentioned, everyone will understand what it means. This is also the Emperor’s promise to them. After all, given the current situation, he also needs Yu Wenye to expand his territories and bring peace. Although Yu Wenqian is the legitimate eldest son, he indeed falls short of Yu Wenye in military achievements. Even from the attitudes of the courtiers who have been seeking out Yu Wenye these days, it can be seen that ever since the Duke Wushan lost an eye and could no longer lead troops, and General Ningyuan committed suicide out of guilt—even it was said that even Lou Liangdi hanged herself, although the Crown Prince Mansion kept it secret due to face and dealt with it hastily—the Crown Prince has been severely weakened after this, and some of the courtiers who originally supported him have begun to switch their allegiance.

If Yu Wenye were to achieve new success in the Eastward conquest of Luoyang...

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, but she still tried hard to control her emotions, lowering her voice and saying, "This is really, wonderful! So wonderful!"

Seeing her joyful expression, Yu Wenye finally showed a smile, pulling her into his embrace and saying, "Yes, it’s truly wonderful."

"..."

"But all of this still depends on this battle in the Eastern Capital."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi shivered.

The joy she just felt instantly disappeared like the receding tide, replaced by another wave of overwhelming worry that engulfed her.

That’s right, over at Luoyang, it’s going to be a tough battle!

Even though Yu Wenye has won countless battles, no one can guarantee victory in every battle. This time is different from before. Luoyang is a fortified city, easy to defend and hard to attack. Furthermore, Luoyang is defended by the brave Liang Shide, with Xiao Yuansui, who is as astute as Yu Wenye, leading a large army outside. Additionally, Wang Shaoqiu, who fled to Luoyang, is insidious and cunning. If Yu Wenye were really to confront these three...

Thinking of this, the brightness in Shang Ruyi’s eyes immediately dimmed, overshadowed by a deep worry.

They were so close, they could hear each other’s breath and heartbeat, let alone seeing her worried expression. Yu Wenye hugged her, feeling her heavy heartbeat thumping against his chest. Yu Wenye said softly, "What are you worried about?"

"..."

"Worried about Imperial Brother’s side? Or, worried about the battle at Cijian?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi slowly raised her head, meeting his deep and bright eyes, silent for a moment before speaking softly, "This time attacking Luoyang, are you really confident?"

Yu Wenye slightly raised his eyebrows.

He said, "Why, don’t you believe me?"

Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Of course not."

"..."

"I just feel that this battle—won’t be that easy to fight."

Yu Wenye chuckled softly and said, "Of course, it’s not easy. If it were easy, would they need me?"

"..."

"But I, I like to fight tough battles!"

Seeing his arrogant stance as he said this, with his usually calm eyes blazing with fervor, it seemed that only at such moments could one see the passionate side of Yu Wenye, which was precisely what made him so captivating.

Shang Ruyi looked into his eyes and said softly, "I believe you can win."

Yu Wenye looked down at her, smiled, and gently kissed her forehead.

Although Yu Wenye was full of confidence, he never took military matters lightly. The next morning, Shang Ruyi woke up at 5 AM, only to find he had already left. Chang Wan only said that King Qin had gone to the Ministry of Revenue to allocate supplies, needed to give orders at the Ministry of War, and then would train the troops, returning only in the evening. This left Shang Ruyi, who had gotten used to his company these days, feeling a bit lonely.

Of course, she was not one to be defeated by loneliness.

While Yu Wenye attended to his matters, as Princess Qin, she needed to prepare everything for him. She spent half a day preparing the luggage Yu Wenye would need for his campaign, handed it over to Mu Xian, and specially instructed the Food Bureau to stew something nourishing for Yu Wenye to eat when he returned in the evening.

However, by the time Yu Wenye returned, it was already after midnight.

The following two days were the same.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 9th. Thanks to the Emperor’s orders and King Qin’s diligence, it only took two days to ready all the pre-war arrangements, and by the next day, Yu Wenye could officially set out.

That evening, after having dinner early, the family of three gathered for a while.

As night fell, the little Yuanzi, who had been noisy all day, began yawning, so Shang Ruyi asked the wet nurse to take the child down for sleep and went to take a bath herself. After washing clean, she returned to the inner chamber, where she found Yu Wenye also bathed and leaning against the bed, reading a book.

Shang Ruyi walked over and said softly, "You’re leaving tomorrow, don’t read anymore."

Yu Wenye didn’t raise his head, "If not reading, then what?"

Shang Ruyi couldn’t help frowning, wanting to say something but hesitated. Just then, Yu Wenye looked up, eyes smiling, "Look at you?"

Meeting his half-smiling gaze, Shang Ruyi realized she had been teased, and the slight longing in her earlier words had been captured clearly by his bright eyes. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she turned to leave.

Just as she turned, a hot hand grasped her wrist.

Before she could react, Yu Wenye pulled her into his arms, the book he had been holding tossed aside.
