Everyone's eyes gradually focused on Zhou Jiaqing.

Zhou Jiaqing's eyes were solemn and he continued to lament: "So on the Tomb Sweeping Day, my grandfather's whole family will go in the direction of the former Xiyun Kingdom to pay homage to the fallen soldiers. The war took away their lives, but they will live in our lives forever. In the hearts of the people of the Eastern Qin Kingdom. We cannot forget what they have sacrificed. All I can do is draw a small tomb for them in the scroll to worship them and comfort their heroic souls."

Zhou Jiaqing stood on the high platform and lowered her eyes slightly. She was speaking for the soldiers, and she was also trying to clear her grandfather's name.

Because this war was too brutal and the country of Xiyun was massacred, people with good intentions secretly ridiculed my grandfather for being cold-blooded from time to time.

Zhou Jiaqing's maternal grandfather Zhao Shi'an was General Anyuan. After that battle, he moved to a small place called Dupo. After so many years, the nobles of Da'an City downplayed the damage caused by the war, but felt that General Anyuan was His actions were horrific.

Everyone in the audience opened their eyes to see what a tragic war it was.

And this war was also painful in my grandfather's heart. He never forgot the brothers who went through life and death together! Every Qingming Festival, I will mourn my brothers.

These words caused the academy to fall into silence again. The students were still young and did not understand the twists and turns, but they were shocked by the scenes of the war. Their parents were all recalling the scandalous behavior of Xiyun Kingdom back then, and they murdered those around them. Relatives and friends, it took so long that the pain faded away.

It is said that at that time, almost everyone in the Xiyun Kingdom, from the emperor to the poor, were practicing a secret technique, and the introduction to the secret technique was a woman from another country.

Therefore, people from Xiyun often secretly and brutally killed Eastern Qin women. First they were ordinary people, but later they became dissatisfied and gradually targeted aristocratic families, and their behavior became even more wanton.

Most aristocratic families had their daughters or sisters kidnapped, their innocence ruined, and brutally killed, leaving not even a single intact corpse.

It is said that of the ten households with daughters at that time, eight of them were taken captive to serve as bridesmaids!

For the sake of face and reputation, the aristocratic families tacitly regarded these abducted women as ordinary people, so no one has ever mourned them on the Qingming Festival!

You all should wake up, it is not General Anyuan who is cruel, but the Xiyun people’s cruel behavior. If the country is not destroyed, the people of Eastern Qin will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment today.

The situation at that time simply did not allow checking who was practicing secret arts one by one, and the financial and manpower were simply not available. As more and more women disappeared from the Eastern Qin Kingdom, they could only send troops to cut off the mess quickly.

Zhou Jiaqing's words seemed to be just to mourn the heroic souls taken away by the war, but they also suddenly awakened the pain of the aristocratic family in the audience, allowing them to relive the tragic situation at that time.

These aristocratic families have the most disgusting faces. They enjoy the protection of their grandfather with peace of mind, but they still want to beat him up in return. Zhou Jiaqing now puts his grandfather in a position of great concern.

Presumably from today on, no one will laugh at my grandfather secretly, otherwise it would be a violation of morality.

Undoubtedly, in the future, people will also start to mourn their loved ones during the Qingming Festival. The aristocratic family set an example, and other people will follow suit. These lost souls can finally rest in peace.

The slightly older women in the women's banquet began to secretly wipe away their tears, and the vague figure in their memory gradually became clearer. The fathers at the men's table also lowered their eyes, thinking about the figure abandoned by memories.

But some people are not so happy.

Two people present frowned in unison. Only then did Qin Xingyue see clearly what Zhou Jiaqing's painting was about.

The people of Xiyun Kingdom have always been controversial, especially among the younger generation. She tried her best to make Zhao Shian's reputation slightly deviated, but Zhou Jiaqing re-established his reputation firmly in just a few words.

Zhou Jiaqing clearly felt that two hazy eyes were staring at him almost at the same time, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She looked away indifferently, "Just wait, I will definitely be able to peel off your skin before long."

However, King Qi's eyes followed Zhou Jiaqing closely, and he suddenly smiled meaningfully: "This woman named Zhou Jiaqing is said to be very indulgent, but now it seems that she is very interesting."

As soon as King Qi said these words, Xie Yuanfu and Xu Jingxiao both frowned, and a bad premonition came over them.

Now that the Marquis of Jingan is away and the Zhao family is thousands of miles apart, how can a woman like Zhou Jiaqing be able to compete with the King of Qi? If she were to fall into the hands of King Qi, given King Qi's cruel and arrogant temper, Zhou Jiaqing would be gone soon.

Xie Yuanfu didn't care about a woman's fate, but King Qi messed up his plan after all. Zhou Jiaqing is his pocket, his chess piece, how can he tolerate this change?

The most important thing is that he has a very strange feeling in his heart. He always feels that Zhou Jiaqing belongs to him. If he doesn't fight for it and allows King Qi to take it away, he always has a feeling that it is wrong to do so.

Xie Yuanfu swallowed, calmed down, and nodded: "Miss Zhou is indeed different from the rumors. If she can get the top three, she will be rewarded by my father in person."

Xu Jingxiao did not expect that the fourth child would actually speak for Zhou Jiaqing. He was usually timid, but this time he threatened King Qi's stupid idea by saying that the emperor wanted to meet Zhou Jiaqing.

But for some reason, Xu Jingxiao was slightly unhappy.

Prince Qi is also a human spirit, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by an impatient wave of his hand, with a sinister tone: "Are you going to go against Prince Qi's house for a woman?"

His eyes fell on Zhou Jiaqing: "But it becomes more interesting this way."

Xie Yuanfu stood up and bowed: "My nephew doesn't dare. It's because my nephew was stupid and failed to understand what the emperor meant just now. He only considered that his father attached great importance to this exam and ignored the emperor's thoughts. This woman is extremely outstanding. The emperor thinks she’s pretty good, so there’s nothing wrong with her.”

"Then I'm not polite. She is not bad, but she is very similar to my unmarried princess." After a moment, King Qi laughed very obscenely.

Xie Yuanfu first threatened King Qi with the emperor, and then unanimously agreed with King Qi.

As a result, King Qi also had some thoughts in his mind. Even if he wanted to marry a wife, he would have to wait until the palace banquet was over before mentioning it. Otherwise, this is the person the emperor wants to see, and he will be cut off before he can see him.

This would give Xie Yuanfu some time. It would be best if he could find ways to dispel Prince Qi's idea of ​​having a concubine. If not, then give up Zhou Jiaqing as a chess piece and make new plans for the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

In any case, he would not go against King Qi for a woman.
