After Yu Wenhao left quietly, he cursed a few words angrily, "If it weren't for the design of this prince, how could you have five sons today? How could you be named a prince and wait to ascend the throne?"
Yuan Lunwen was very angry after hearing this, but said nothing and quietly went in to report to his grandmother.
After a while, the old lady invited him over, asked someone to close the door, and beat him with a cane. The beating made him run away with his head in his arms, but he could not get out. He was beaten several times and passed out.
The shock from his son and mother made Jinghou calm down, lest he cause any trouble on the big day.
The old lady had warned him that if he said something wrong or did something out of line, he would be sent out of the capital immediately and sent back to the village where he had been beaten, where he would be beaten day and night to relieve his anger.
Jinghou knew that her mother was a courageous person who did what she said, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Madam Jingwai went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in person to find Yuan Qingling and reassure her.
Yuan Qingling introduced her parents to meet the old lady, and told her how the old lady had protected her and treated her well. Yuan's mother was so moved that she stood up and bowed to the old lady.
The old lady was confused about their identities. Yuan Qingling told the old lady that they were the adoptive father and mother she had recently recognized. The old lady did not show any doubt. Anyway, she could not figure out many things about her granddaughter. Did she know?
Don't ask what you should ask, just be an old man and take care of yourself.
The old lady stayed in the house to have a meal, and told Yuan Qing Ling alone about the upcoming happy event.
"The dowry is not much, but it is my grandmother's wish. You must accept it. There is no need to say anything else." The old lady said without any refutation.
Yuan Qingling looked at her, tears welling up in her eyelashes, "This is all your hard-earned savings for retirement, how can your granddaughter take it?"
"You have to take it. You don't have to say it. If you say it again, I will get angry." The old lady deliberately made a serious face.
Yuan Qingling leaned on her shoulder, feeling warm in her heart. She really was, how could she be so virtuous?
After the old lady left, Yuan Qingling and her mother talked for a while and learned that the old lady had bought a dowry for Yuan Qingling. Yuan's mother was also very moved and told Yuan Qingling to be filial to the elderly.
Yuan’s mother also understands what kind of family Jinghou Mansion is. It really doesn’t make people worry. Fortunately, the grandchildren are also doing well. If the son is unfilial and unjust, let him be.
In this way, under the close preparations of all parties, Emperor Ming Yuan abdicated.
Before abdicating the throne, he dragged his "sick body" to a morning court and accepted the kneeling of all officials for the last time.
But this time, both Chu Shoufu and Xiaoyao Gong came to court. The three princes honored their thrones and did not have to kneel in court. Emperor Ming Yuan also specially gave them seats and praised and affirmed their contributions to the country of Beitang in front of hundreds of officials.
The farewell between the king and his ministers was always sad, and the old ministers cried bitterly.
Emperor Ming Yuan couldn't help but feel proud when he saw everyone's reluctance to leave him. He always thought that he was not good at being emperor, but their attitude was the best affirmation for himself.
If the Supreme Empress hadn't come and said something in front of him, when he abdicated, some ministers even vowed to be buried when the mountain collapsed, and he would have continued to be proud and proud.
Emperor Ming Yuan did not stay too long in the early morning because he was sitting on the dragon chair and Lao Wu was always supporting him. Everyone was watching him suffer and were afraid that he would faint because his body could not hold up.
After all, the emperor looked really weak.
Lao Wu helped him stand up. He took a deep look at the officials, slowly raised his hand, waved, turned around, and then looked back. The emperor gradually stepped off the political stage of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
