Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

Tan Chuyan looked down on Tan Hongyun’s character, this man was tyrannical dictator and a lustful person.

When the old bastard got drunk, he saw Chuyan’s mother had an outstanding appearance and took her by force. Afterward, he sealed her as mei-ren1 and let her go, but she was never summoned again.

“1美人 – měi-rén: a rank in the imperial harem, Beauty.”

But who would have expected that Wan mei-ren became pregnant with Tan Chuyan in one go. Because of her humble status, Wan mei-ren lived a hard life and couldn’t supplement food or clothing. The entire pregnancy she wasn’t in a good health.

On the day, Tan Chuyan was born, Wan mei-ren died from a massive blood loss but Tan Hongyun never once visited. He just sent a eunuch to pass a message; the child’s biological mother was a lowly maid so let him raised by a wet nurse. This way, Tan Chuyan was raised by the wet nurse until he was seven years old then left him alone in the deep palace.

Tan Chuyan felt it wasn’t easy for him to grow up, his body wasn’t good. he almost died several times and saw the King of Hell.

This had something to do with Wan mei-ren’s inability to supplement her body during the pregnancy. But, the most important thing was the current queen, the mother of the first prince, added something in Wan mei-ren’s medicine during her pregnancy.

The queen hoped that Tan Chuyan would be born as a stillborn and didn’t become an eyesore for her.

After drinking the medicine for a while, Wan mei-ren who knew a little about medicinal herbs felt something was wrong with the medicine. The baby who would kick her stomach and made a fuss twice on weekdays, suddenly became quieter and quieter once she drank the medicine. She often felt her heart was beating fast and breathless.

So, Wan mei-ren secretly changed the medicine but still failed to save the child in her belly; this gave Tan Chuyan who died unexpectedly to transmigrate over.

Of course, no one knew about this except Tan Chuyan.

Medicine was a double-edged sword. Tan Chuyan saved his life by passing through but months of harmful medicine had left him with weak and ailing body.

It was precisely because of this that the queen didn’t do anything to him. No matter how much trouble a sick person could do, it was still a short-lived ghost with no mother.

Internal injuries were the most difficult to cure, Tan Chuyan was eighteen years old but he was smaller than his peers.

.

Tan Chuyan sat up from the bed. He asked Tianbao to get some hot water, took a simple bath and went to sleep.

Tomorrow wasn’t going to be easy, he had to embark on a journey to the Jing Kingdom to be married.

Although, he went to Jing Kingdom in the name of marriage, everyone knew that this was a beautiful deal that could benefit Jing Kingdom without any harm to their imperial power. But this was a huge scandal for Qi Kingdom even if this deal didn’t bring any harm.

For Jing Kingdom, this deal was killing three birds with one stone.

First, although this was a marriage but it was the same as sending a proton. Even if this prince wasn’t precious in the Qi Kingdom but it was still from the royal family. This was enough to make Qi Kingdom in a bad spot.

Second, the person Tan Chuyan married was the general who was the commander in chief of Jing Kingdom. Everyone knew his leg was broken because of Qi Kingdom started the war.

Therefore, Jing Kingdom would definitely not let Tan Chuyan go and humiliated him wantonly. But Tan Chuyan was a member of Qi Kingdom’s royal family, humiliating him was the same as insulting the royal family.

Third, and the most important, it was rumored that Feng Chilie was a moody person and didn’t like getting close with others. He was twenty-five years old and surprisingly, he didn’t have any concubines. At his age, other men would have wives and concubines with children under their knees.

Just thought about it, Tan Chuyan life must be miserable to be married with him.

Tan Chuyan believed that in the eyes of others, he would be tortured by the moody general and lost his dignity after the marriage.

But it wasn’t sure who would toss whom.

Tan Chuyan smiled faintly and pulled his quilt. He hoped that the general wouldn’t be angry with him.

.

Tan Chuyan thought he could have a peaceful sleep before he went on the journey. But he underestimated Tan Hongyun’s hatred of him.

At three am, someone was knocking on Tan Chuyan’s palace.

The voice of the old eunuch came in, “Your highness, His Majesty has prepared the carriage and ordered you to leave the palace. You have to go to the Jing Kingdom for the marriage ceremony.”

Tan Chuyan, “…”

So, someone set off for the marriage in the wee hours, Tan Chuyan thought he might marry a ghost.

By the way, no matter how good-tempered Tan Chuyan was, his face was a bit bad when he wore the wedding dress.

He didn’t know which corner the palace maid dug out this wedding dress. It actually smelled bad and gave him a headache.

In the snow and ice wind cold, Tan Chuyan braved the hot potato1 he chose, wore the sour-smelling wedding dress and slowly stepped into the carriage.

“1hot potato is an idiom of a problem no one wished to hold.”

The carriage drove out of the palace late at night and Tan Chuyan didn’t even look back.

.

At dawn, Tan Chuyan was handed over to the Jing Kingdom’s army to prepare for his marriage to Feng Chilie. He went in a hurry and no one cared about him, he didn’t have any dowry and only packed a few clothes in his luggage.

As for the servants, Tan Chuyan only bought Tianbao with him.

In the deep palace, he only trusted two people. One was Tianbao who grew up with him and the other was his late teacher. To be honest, without his teacher, he wouldn’t be alive until now.

It would take five days the fastest on the horse ride to return from Qi Kingdom to the Jiang Kingdom, but they still had to take Tan Chuyan with a carriage.

Five days later, the army approached the city of Jing Kingdom. The march route was divided into two, the deputy commander of Wolf Eagle Cavalry led eight people to escort Tan Chuyan to the general’s mansion, while the army went back to the military camp.

It was past noon when they entered the city, and the people who escorted Tan Chuyan were very hungry. Moreover, at this time, Feng Chilie happened to take a nap.

The deputy commander had followed Feng Chilie in the army. He knew very well that the general hated if someone woke him up, it was the same like seeking their own death.

So, the deputy commander raised his hand and pointed to the restaurant next to him, “Brothers, go in and have something to eat first. The general didn’t like it if someone disturbing his sleep.”

When the people heard this, they were ecstatic. The deputy commander patted the carriage and asked politely, “The one inside, do you want to eat?”

Tan Chuyan replied, “I won’t eat, I’m not hungry. This one thanks the deputy commander for his kindness.”

After hearing this, the deputy commander sent two people to watch over the carriage and warned, “You two keep an eye on them. I will send people to replace you later.”

Both of them were a little unhappy that they couldn’t enter the restaurant immediately, but they were a soldier with great discipline. The two agreed loudly.

The deputy commander took the remaining people into the restaurant and asked for a private room.

Once done eating, he saw the two new soldiers were chatting.

“Hey brother, I heard that although the fifth prince of Qi Kingdom has lowly status but he’s actually a beauty. It is said that he was much beautiful than a woman. Hehe…”

“I heard it too, it’s a pity we’ve been escorting all the way. But he never went out and huddled inside the carriage, even covered with a veil. We can’t even see his face.”

“You want to see his face, right?”

The two chatted and the deputy commander’s voice called them.

The deputy commander had a sullen face and slapped them in the head, “You go eat carrot. Don’t worry about things you don’t know. Go and replace someone.”

The two were scared and ran off to eat.

After a while the two came back with a mess, one of them stammered, “Deputy commander, no… no…, it’s not good!!”

The deputy general said sternly, “Smooth your tongue and speak well! Are you still the wolf-eagle cavalry??”

The man took a deep breath and straightened his tongue, he answered anxiously, “Run, the fifth prince from Qi Kingdom had run away!”
