Chapter 60(1/2)
Feng Yao looked at the appearance of the prince and his wife without any concealment, and even Yan Ning discovered it.
She looked at Feng Yao's jealous look and suddenly thought about why Feng Yao suddenly stopped coming to the palace in her previous life.
Could it be... the person Feng Yao likes is the prince?
It was not the ninth prince or anyone else, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Because Feng Yao wanted to marry the crown prince, the palace was furious and he hated Feng Yao from then on.
Yan Ning felt that at this moment, everything in his previous life had changed.
It turns out that what she had heard was actually the truth behind those things?
But she seemed to have no affection for Feng Yao.
Although he is very gentle to Feng Yao, he is not as gentle and affectionate as the prince looks at the prince's concubine at this moment.
"By the way, I'm here to tell my aunt something." The prince looked up at this moment and saw Feng Yao looking at him and the princess with red eyes. The resentment and jealousy in those eyes. Even if the prince is generous and kind, he feels a little uncomfortable.
In his memory, Feng Yao has always been a very lively and likable cousin. He is always happy in front of the prince. Although he is a little more spoiled, he does not overstep. Even because Cheng'en Duke once said when he missed the prince the prince, the queen once said that she wanted a prince after giving birth to his majesty, but the queen passed away too early, and this hope cannot be realized. Although the prince does not have a biological sister, he still barely has a cousin Feng Yao like this. Because of this, the prince always treats Feng Yao a little differently.
Looking at Feng Yao, the prince always thought, if the queen had not passed away, she could give birth to a little sister for herself, would it be A Yao like this?
Beautiful and indulgent, but he is loved by his brother.
It is precisely because of this that even if Feng Yao has some minor problems on weekdays, the prince can be spared.
But... the real sister shouldn't show such a terrible look to her brother and sister-in-law, right?
The prince was thinking about his thoughts, and smiled at Concubine Li and said, "It's my uncle's business."
"What's wrong with Uncle King Chu?" Concubine Li saw that Yan Ning's white little ears suddenly stood up at her hands.
Although she couldn't see Yan Ning's appearance, she felt that Yan Ning must be very serious at this moment.
"Uncle has put down the rebellion in Shu in Shu." Seeing Concubine Li smiled and lowered her head, the prince also looked to her side with Concubine Li's gaze, and saw a girl with unparalleled beauty lying on Concubine Li's knees.
The little girl is weak and delicate, thin and petite. At this moment, her eyes were wide open, and she was pricking her ears and focused seriously as if she was listening to her. It seemed that because she had paused, the pretty and cute little girl shook her ears and turned her head to look at her. After that, her eyes showed a pitiful smell that the prince could not say.
It seemed as if I had paused and didn't explain it clearly, and this little girl felt very uncomfortable.
"This is Aning from Duke Li Guo's Mansion. Aning, this is the crown prince." Seeing that the crown prince looked at Yan Ning with interest, Concubine Li said with a smile.
Yan Ning hurriedly stood up again to bless the prince, and then looked at him again, with a little anxiousness in his eyes.
"Isn't this the little girl from the Jiang family who was very protective of my uncle before?" When the prince heard the word "Aning", he immediately thought that Concubine Li and the emperor often mentioned Yan Ning recently, and asked with a smile.
Yan Ning nodded timidly, and felt extremely anxious.
The prince... why don't you say when the King of Chu will return to the court?
Didn’t it mean that the chaos in Shu has been quelled?
"Okay, let's talk about Aning later." Seeing Yan Ning's mouth moving, as if he mustered up the courage to speak, Concubine Li couldn't help laughing. She was very satisfied with Yan Ning's missing King Chu so much, so she smiled and said to the prince, "Since Shuzhong has been pacified, when will Uncle Wang come back to Kyoto?"
The prince has followed the emperor to manage the government affairs. Because it was the prince whom he had high hopes, the emperor carefully taught the prince and never feared the prince for a moment. The prince knew everything in the court. At this moment, seeing Concubine Li ask him, the prince regarded the aunt who raised him as no different from his biological mother in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Uncle said he will be back in the new year."
Yan Ning thought that the King of Chu was about to return to the court, but he was just happy, but when he heard this, he was stunned.
How did it become next year?
"Why don't you go back to the court immediately?" Seeing Yan Ning becoming more and more pitiful, Concubine Li couldn't help but show some curiosity.
The prince looked at Yan Ning's calm and radiant look, and suddenly became very bleak, looking small, wishing he could shrink into the corner beside him.
Her little face as big as a palm was dimmed, and her very beautiful appearance became much darker.
The prince couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.
He had never seen a woman who was so eager for the King of Chu and wanted to see the King of Chu as soon as possible.
"There are still some things in Shuzhong. My uncle said that since he has arrived at Shuzhong, he will put all the chaos down. He will clean up this way and stay in Shuzhong for another half a year to shock Shuzhong. Therefore, he will probably not be able to return to Kyoto next year. Just because of this, my uncle is afraid that he will not be able to celebrate the New Year in Kyoto this year and will not be able to come back."
Seeing Concubine Li nodding slowly, the prince subconsciously swept over Yan Ning who was becoming more and more pitiful and very disappointed. After thinking for a moment, he continued to say to Concubine Li, "Because my uncle said this, my father told me to rectify the order. Next month, I will take people to Shuzhong, one will reward the soldiers who pacified Shuzhong, and the other will visit the uncle, and the other will make sure that the uncle will not be lonely in Shuzhong."
"Did you go there in person?" Concubine Li was not familiar with these things in the court. She was just a woman in the harem, so she didn't know about the affairs of the previous dynasty. She nodded just as much as the emperor and the prince said.
So she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you just asking you to go alone?"
"The father means to ask me to come here in person and take my elder brother with me." The eldest brother mentioned by the prince is naturally the eldest son of the prince, that is, the eldest grandson of the emperor. The eldest grandson of the emperor is now seven years old and is very intelligent. Because he is born as a princess, he is also the most noble in his status and his talent is very popular with the emperor, so he often takes the director of the eldest grandson of the emperor on weekdays.
This time, the prince was asked to visit the King of Chu in Shu. The emperor wanted to ask Emperor Changsun to see the world, to see the vast world outside, and to the majestic soldiers under the King of Chu, to ask Emperor Changsun to have a broad vision.
Therefore, the emperor asked the prince to take the emperor Changsun to Shuzhong with him.
Of course, this also means paying attention to the King of Chu.
After all, when the King of Chu went to war, the prince and the eldest grandson of the Chu king came to visit. This represents the emperor's emphasis and trust in the King of Chu.
The prince is also willing to take his eldest son out for a walk and see the scenery outside.
It is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Since you have the opportunity to ask Huang Changsun to go out for a while, what's wrong with this?
"It's good. Raising it in the palace is so charming." Concubine Li hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse the prince's proposal.
The one she loved the most were the little princesses under the crown prince's knees. She also knew that going to Shuzhong would have to endure hardships. Thinking that the emperor's eldest grandson was fair and cute, he would have to endure hardships when leaving Kyoto, Concubine Li still thought about it and said to the crown prince, "Although he asked the eldest brother to see the world, he should not endure too much. Bring more people to serve."
She was not an elder who spoiled her children to the point of not distinguishing right from wrong. She also knew that the emperor was doing this to cultivate the eldest grandson of the emperor, which was beneficial to the Eastern Palace. Seeing that the princess showed a little sadness, but when the prince saw him, he smiled and nodded in support of his decision, Concubine Li couldn't help but smile and gentle.
"I will not worry about other things on the road."
"Yes." The prince agreed with a smile.
He was really close and filial to Concubine Li, but after talking about the King of Chu, he chatted with Concubine Li.
Seeing his relaxed and relaxed appearance in front of Concubine Li and his concern for Concubine Li, Yan Ning was extremely disappointed, but she still felt very happy.
The pacification of Shu means that the King of Chu will no longer worry about being hurt.
Just thinking that the King of Chu would not return to Kyoto next year, Yan Ning felt extremely disappointed.
It’s not that she has experienced parting.
But I felt inexplicably that when the King of Chu was not in Kyoto, it seemed as hard to bear in my heart as counting the days bit by bit.
She missed King Chu, not because when the King of Chu was in Kyoto, she would protect herself and ask that she could be as simple as Jiang Huan and domineering in front of Duke Li Guo. Instead, she felt that the King of Chu was not here for no reason, and she felt that she couldn't lift her spirits and felt empty, as if she had lost something. Now that she heard the prince say that the King of Chu would not return to Kyoto, Yan Ning was still energetic and joking, leaning against Concubine Li softly, her face was full of loss and pitiful smell.
The prince talked to Concubine Li. Seeing that Yan Ning was listless, he couldn't help but ask Concubine Li, "What's wrong? Could it be that I said the wrong thing?"
"Aning is..." Concubine Li was about to smile and say that Yan Ning missed King Chu, but her eyes swept over Feng Yao, and she quietly changed the topic and said with a smile, "Aning is not a joke-loving person either."
Seeing that the Crown Princess was still talking to A Rong and his sisters, she lowered her head and looked at Yan Ning's disappointed little face. Concubine Li felt a little reluctant in her heart. She felt that she couldn't stand Yan Ning's disappointment. She pondered for a moment and waved to the prince. Seeing that he hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over to listen to his instructions, she asked the prince in a low voice, "...What do you think about bringing Aning with you when you go to Shuzhong?"
The prince suddenly opened his eyes wide, lowered his head, and met a pair of round and foggy eyes.
He and Yan Ning, who suddenly became energetic and full of anticipation, looked at each other and twitched slightly.
The little girl seemed to have never been listless and suddenly became energetic.
"This..." The prince looked at Yan Ning's eyes with bright eyes. Because he was really a generous person, he couldn't say anything coldly rejected. Although he felt that Concubine Li's proposal was a bit shocking, after all, a girl named Yan Ning was traveling thousands of miles away. Not to mention that he was going to Shu with a girl, I don't know how to explain to the wealthy families of Kyoto, even the prince doubted that Yan Ning could go far away, a child like a thin and timid?
He hesitated for a while, and was in the expectant eyes of Concubine Li and Yan Ning for a while, unable to bear to disappoint them, so he had to lower his head and ask Yan Ning, "Aning, do you want to go to Shuzhong too?" He saw Yan Ning for the first time, but he felt that this little guy was soft, beautiful and likable, and his voice softened.
"I want to go!" Yan Ning didn't expect that the turn of the journey would make a comeback. Concubine Li would make such a proposal for herself. While rubbing Concubine Li's cheek, she hurriedly said to the prince, "I do!" The time for Arong to marry the tenth prince was set in autumn, and she could just go to see the King of Chu before this.
She rubbed against Concubine Li's cheek and became even more delicate and soft. The prince couldn't help but wonder if he was too soft-hearted and decided to scare her.
"Do you know that the road is not leisurely, and it is very hurrying and tiring?"
"I know."
"Then do you know that whether it is food, accommodation and meals along the way, it is very simple or even simple?" the prince asked with a straight face.
He really wanted to scare this white and tender little girl.
But Yan Ning held his hand hard, looked at the prince with his eyes and said, "I know! I can eat any kind of bitterness!"
The prince looked at her delicate little appearance and was deeply suspicious.
"Walking through mountains and rivers on the road, you may encounter danger. When you go to the military camp in Shu, it will be even more difficult. The hot flashes in Shu are not as good as Kyoto."
He exaggerated the difficulties of going to Shuzhong by a hundred times, but Yan Ning was already happy to receive such a proposal. She felt that she was extremely happy at this moment, and even forgot all her worries and fear of the outside world. She hurriedly said to the prince more seriously, "Even if it is a sea of swords and fire, as long as I can see the prince, I am willing to go."
She just wanted to meet the King of Chu.
Don't know why.
But when she knew that she might have the chance to meet the King of Chu, Yan Ning felt that her heart was full of joy.
She even made her feel that no matter how hard it was, she wanted to see the King of Chu.
This is really a strange emotion.
"Not to it." Yan Ning even said the fire and fire. In an instant, the prince almost felt that he was not going to Shuzhong, but going to the oil pan. At this moment, he saw Yan Ning looking at him with hope, his beautiful eyes were clear and bright. The prince suddenly felt that his palms were itchy and wanted to pat the little girl's head.
Just thinking about the difference between men and women, the prince reluctantly endured it, but he showed Yan Ning a helpless smile with a bit of indulgence and said, "Since that's the case, I'll talk to my father and ask for you." He thought that if he could have a daughter in the future, he would probably act softly like the little girl in front of him, which made people unable to bear to reject her.
It would be great if I could have a daughter like this Yan Ning.
Thinking of this, the prince looked at the princess with hope.
They have already given birth to four sons, and it is time to give birth to a daughter.
"Thank you, Your Highness,"
To be continued...
