During the Yuanhe period, Ye Chen, the Marquis of Ningyuan, defeated the Northern Barbarians. He captured the Northern Barbarians' crown prince Huyan Chihe alive and returned to the court victoriously. However, Marquis Ningyuan gave up his desire to be promoted to a higher official position and only wanted to marry the current Princess Jinghe.
However... The next day, Princess Jing and the eldest princess appeared at the celebration banquet: "I heard that Marquis Ningyuan likes me? But I am the legitimate daughter of my father. Her status is noble and she will not marry! Can Marquis Ye return his wish?"
Before Emperor Yuan He could curse that nonsense, he heard his own general say shyly and with eyes shining: "I do!"
So the famous Marquis Ningyuan married into the princess mansion.
The world lamented that Emperor Yuanhe was afraid of the military power of the Ye family and deliberately insulted Marquis Ningyuan. However, Marquis Ningyuan gave up his manly self-esteem and was willing to marry into the princess's house to protect the Ye family. It is so sad!
