Living a life is a matter that is a hundred times more complicated than you loving me and me loving you. If you want to be happy, loving each other is not enough. It also requires many, many joint efforts and trust.
Fortunately, she and he have always been hand in hand along the way. Although there have been many setbacks, no one has forgotten the original vow and no one has let go of each other's hands.
Finally, she laughed easily again and kept laughing in his arms. She felt extremely happy at this moment. Yuan Lang, who could make her parents so angry, was so invincible. Her parents, who were also invincible, finally hit the iron wall.
Because she had promised Xuan Yuan that she would not interfere in political affairs, Yuan Jianing did not know much about the situation in Yanjing at present. She knew that her mother must have been forced to the extreme to make such a choice. She chose the lesser of two evils. Yun Qingluo chose to protect her daughter's reputation and life and gave up her son-in-law's integrity, which was also her mother's heart.
But Yuan Jianing wanted to tell her mother and give her and Yuan Lang a little more time and trust. As the children raised by Yuan Xiuzhi and Yun Qingluo, how could they easily bow to secular rules?
Yes, there has never been a loyal emperor or prince in history, but this does not mean that Xuan Yuan cannot do it.
History always needs people to break it.
Besides, she is lucky. It's not like she didn't give birth to a son. Now she has both children. She is still in good health and will have more children in the future. She is not even included in the "childless" rule. What other name do outsiders want to use to accuse her?
Chapter 10(2)
After Yuan Jianing's laughter stopped and her mood calmed down a little, Xuan Yuan also stopped laughing and looked at her solemnly, saying, "I handed my father a request to return to Beijing. Maybe we can go to Yanjing in a short time."
Yuan Jianing was even more surprised and looked at him with some confusion.
Xuan Yuan explained: "The prince stays away from the court for a long time, and he may really become an outsider. If something unexpected happens to the court, and the gate is thousands of miles away, I am afraid he will be helpless."
For example, if the emperor dies suddenly and the prince in Jinling cannot get the news in time, other princes in Yanjing may use this opportunity to force a coup in the palace and ascend the throne first, which will be troublesome.
Xuan Yuan continued to explain: "Judging from previous practice, the emperor would not be too relieved to leave the prince far away for a long time, away from his supervision."
Xuan Yu originally left Xuanyuan in Jinling because it was very troublesome to move the capital and it took a long time. In addition, it also took a long time to settle down in Yanjing. It also took a long time to settle down and adapt. In addition, it took a lot of time for the imperial commander to go to Jinling. This made the prince no longer with the emperor, but stayed in the old capital outside the capital for several years.
But just by looking at the constant conspiracies against the East Palace in the past two years, we know that those people are already ready to make a move. It would really not be a good thing if Xuan Yuan stayed in Jinling any longer.
"And, most importantly," Xuan Yuan squeezed Yuan Jianing's hand."I'm going to take you to the capital. I'm going to personally cut off the evil hands that are reaching out to you and the children. I'm going to tell my father about this. I've endured it long enough. If I can endure it any longer, it's too cowardly."
Yuan Jianing held his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Wherever you go, I will follow you."
A few days later, Xuan Yu's imperial edict arrived in Jinling, calling the prince and his family to move to Yanjing.
Although the prince's ceremonial guard was not as good as that of the emperor, it was not a small matter. They had to move and arrange the management of Jinling City and Jiangnan affairs. They were busy for half a month before starting their journey.
First by water, then by carriage, they stayed overnight at Xiaoxing. Apart from being a little bored on the boat or in the carriage, the prince and the princess did not suffer much. After all, they were young and in good health, so they could still withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
Yuan Jianing thought that she would soon see her eldest son live forever, so she felt particularly excited and happy.
When they were a hundred miles away from the capital, they met the royal honor guard and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who came to greet them. But what really made Xuan Yuan and Yuan Jianing happy was that Prince Yu and his wife also came to greet them.
The two families greeted each other warmly.
Princess Yu reached out to hold Yuan Jianing's hand and looked her up and down. Seeing that although she was a little tired due to the journey, she was in good spirits and there was no depression in her eyes. She said with a little peace of mind: "Perhaps you know now that there has been a lot of wind and rain in the capital recently, but you don't have to be afraid. As long as you think openly, rumors can't kill people. And if they really dare to come hard, I will go into battle to protect you!"
Yuan Jianing was a little surprised. She widened her eyes slightly and looked at the princess who was born in a general family. She was extremely moved in her heart. This was the first help she received when she returned to the capital. It made her eyes slightly warm. She said, "Auntie, thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Princess Yu is a straightforward woman who doesn't like those hypocritical politeness. She said bluntly: "I help you, but I also have my own selfish motives. How many people used to ridicule me for being infertile and ridicule the prince for being inhumane. Bah! They are just jealous of me andThe prince's love is devoted, but they can't get it themselves. They live a life that is worse than death, so they go to arrange other people's faults. In fact, anyone who can't sleep alone at night knows that women prefer to embarrass women. They are a group of selfish and pathetic people. I have long disliked them."
Yuan Jianing was sweating secretly in her heart. This princess was really fierce.
Princess Yu added, "Your Highness has told me before that His Highness the Crown Prince is a good person. I didn't think so at first. But now I see that as the Crown Prince, he is willing to stay with you alone. Good! It's really good! Just for this reason, I want Your Highness to help him more in the future."
Yuan Jianing not only broke out in a cold sweat this time, but also wanted to sigh. Her Royal Highness, everyone just needs to be aware of this kind of thing. Isn't it bad to announce it so blatantly like you?
"Also, our Prince Yu's Palace also has an heir. He has been named the crown prince by the emperor. A hundred years later, the prince and I will also have someone to worship him." Princess Yu suddenly changed the topic happily.
Yuan Jianing was even more surprised. She had never heard about Princess Yu being pregnant and giving birth?
Seeing her confusion, Princess Yu explained with a smile on her face: "I am destined not to have children, and the prince is not willing to accept new people, so the emperor adopted the second prince Xuan Qian to us. Although the boy is gentle and gentle, which does not suit my temper, he is still a good boy who is well-behaved and knowledgeable. The prince loves him very much. This was just announced, so it is normal for you not to know."
Yuan Jianing nodded thoughtfully.
The emperor adopted Xuan Qian to Prince Yu, which completely eliminated the possibility of Xuan Qian inheriting the throne. However, this may be a good thing for the weak Xuan Qian. He has escaped from the bloody struggle for power and is now a rich and idle king. Isn't it a blessing?
The second prince was adopted; the third prince was only given the title of county prince without sending any errands, and he gradually became a free king. Even if he wanted to seize power, he could not attract many people; the fourth prince was still young and was given to Concubine Geng to raise.She is not his biological mother, so she will not plan for him wholeheartedly. In addition, Concubine Geng wants to have a stable old age and find a good husband for the princess she gave birth to, so she probably will not encourage the fourth prince to fight for power when he grows up.
It seems that Emperor Xuan Yu has done his best to pave the way for Prince Xuan Yuan to succeed to the throne. Before Xuan Yu's death, as long as Xuan Yuan is a well-behaved and obedient prince, he will probably be able to become the next emperor.
Thinking of this, Yuan Jianing suddenly felt a little emotional. Whether it was for the smooth transition of power in the country or for his children to be less likely to kill each other in the future, to a certain extent, Xuan Yu could be considered a good emperor and a good father because he worked hard.
Perhaps, under the rule of such a strong emperor, Yuan Jianing was lucky to be a happy and carefree princess as long as she was obedient.
The prince's guard of honor entered the capital from the South Gate. When they arrived at Zhengyang Gate, a young eunuch came to Yuan Jianing to deliver a message. The prince asked the princess to get on his carriage.
