After returning from a walk with Granny Qiu, Yuan Qing Lingcai privately took Fourth Master out and asked, "The princess has a child?"
Fourth Master asked: "Are you talking about Brother Rui and Sister Jun?"
Yuan Qing nodded hurriedly, "Brother Rui and Sister Jun, where are they?"
"Not in Beitang, but I heard from Master that he has asked them to come back to see Aunt Qiu."
The Fourth Master calls Granny Qiu his aunt because Granny Qiu is the same generation as the princess.
"Are they coming back?
Really?"
Yuan Qingling was inexplicably excited. She didn't know they had children before and felt that Beitang had wronged them and made them unable to have children of their own. Now that she heard that they had children, she was really happy.
"Well, I don't know if I will reply or not, but I will probably reply. The master has spoken, and they dare not not listen."
"I really hope I can meet them. I believe Lao Wu also wants to meet them. But, why aren't they with the prince and princess?"
Yuan Qing Lingdao.
"You probably know the situation. My master was once almost the crown prince. In the early years, they were unwilling to show up. Now the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, his father-in-law abdicated, Lao Wu has ascended the throne, and the country has changed several masters, so there are no more worries.
.”
"Are they being too careful?
I don’t think so.”
Yuan Qing Lingdao.
The Fourth Master smiled faintly, "Maybe it's not possible, not even if there is any danger. If the whole body is affected, there will always be troublemakers, so why bother with this matter to add trouble to the court?
Aren’t you tired enough over the years?”
Yuan Qingling thought about it. There are so many internal and external problems that have not been completely solved for decades. It is really better to have one less problem than one more problem.
If you think about it carefully, Beitang still owes them a lot.
Yuan Qingling took the time to return to the palace in the evening. In addition to telling Yu Wenhao the good news, she also wanted to have a meal with her father and daughter.
Back in the palace, the father and daughter were nowhere to be seen in Xiaoyue Palace. They asked Lu Ya, who said that after the emperor finished his state affairs, he took the princess out and didn't know where he went.
Yuan Qingling was surprised, it was already dark, where else could he go?
Could it be that he left the palace to find her?
"Are you going to Prince Su's Mansion?"
Yuan Qing Ling asked Lu Ya.
"I don't know. I didn't tell you. Mr. Xu wanted to follow, but the emperor didn't allow it. Eunuch Mu Ru chased him to the door, but was driven back by the emperor."
Luya snickered as she spoke, Eunuch Mu Ru was so pitiful.
Yuan Qing Ling Nuan smiled heartily, "They should have gone to Prince Su's Mansion to find me. I rode my horse and did not go to Qingluan Street and missed them. Okay, I will go back to find them."
After Yuan Qingling finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Lu Ya was startled. Did the emperor and the princess go to Prince Su's Mansion?
Then why are you holding a fishing rod?
Oh, yes, there is a lake in Prince Su's Mansion, and you can fish in the lake.
Yuan Qingling returned to Prince Su's Mansion and asked the black shadow old man if Lao Wu was here.
The old man in black shadow has been guarding the door recently, he knows best.
"No, I didn't see it!"
The shadowy old man gnawed on the dried meat and shook his head.
"No ah?
how come?"
Yuan Qingling wanted to ask more, but she saw him turning back to play with Master Hu. She thought that maybe he was playing when Lao Wu came in, but she didn't see him, so she went straight to Tingyuxuan.
If Lao Wu and Gua'er came, they would definitely come first to hear Yuxuan's greetings from the Supreme Emperor. According to past practice, the Supreme Emperor would always have to ask here and there, and drag Lao Wu for a longer time so that Lao Wu could stay with him longer.
When I came to Tingyuxuan, I saw the three giants practicing boxing, fighting vigorously, but Lao Wu and Gua'er were nowhere to be seen.
"Grandpa Huang, are Lao Wu and Gua'er here?"
Yuan Qing Ling asked the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor stopped and looked a little happy, "They are coming?
Then ask someone to cook more dishes, and let me have a cup!"
Yuan Qingling was very surprised. Hearing this, his father and daughter did not come.
Didn't they come to find her when they left the palace?
In the past, he was busy, so it was rare that he could get off work so early tonight. If he didn't come out to look for her, where would he be?
When she left the palace, he promised to go to the palace to find her whenever he had time.
Seeing that she remained silent, the Supreme Emperor asked, "Are you coming or not?"
Yuan Qingling was very sure that her father and daughter had left her to go out to play, so she suddenly made a long face and said, "I won't come."
The Supreme Emperor hummed twice, and Kong was happy, "Yes, why would you want to bring Gua'er to see Gu?
None of that!"
The old man was in a mood, but Yuan Qingling didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he hurriedly persuaded him, "I said I would come, but I guess there are too many things to do, so I have to work overtime at night."
"fart!"
The Supreme Emperor didn't believe it, "He works overtime and won't he ask someone to send his children?
It’s not like I have to have him accompany me, I think he’s just afraid that Gua’er will come, so he’s reluctant to go back, for fear that we’ll snatch her away.”
It is possible that Lao Wu would have this idea. He has always been domineering in his love for his daughter, and he has even begun to covet her as a mother.
Yuan Qingling changed the topic, "I heard that the princess has children, do you know?"
"I know."
The Supreme Emperor looked at her, "You don't know?"
"No one said that."
Yuan Qingling really felt innocent, no one had told her.
"Couples will have children, does this need to be said?"
The Supreme Emperor thought she was a bit idiotic.
"..." Yuan Qingling thought for a while, "At that time, didn't it mean that they left not long after you ascended the throne?
We didn’t see each other for many years after that.”
"In the first ten years when I ascended the throne, they still came back often. After the government stabilized, they came back less often, so that they didn't know about her giving birth. As for later, there was indeed no news, but occasionally they would send people
When things come back or letters are delivered, the Eighteenth Sister is often sent to give him advice, and the ghost guards come back to him regularly to report the situation to the court."
Yuan Qingling knew that they had been together when they were young and suddenly stopped contacting each other. She must have felt very sad. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the Supreme Emperor, "I'm afraid you were also very sad at that time, right?"
The Supreme Emperor thought about it for a while, after all, it happened a long time ago. Are you sad?
Maybe it has happened before.
"At that time, everything inside and outside the court needed to be rectified and developed. There was no need to take into account so many personal feelings. Everyone had only one goal, which was to develop Beitang, let the people live a good life, and make Beitang no longer have to be abused by others.
Bullying, everyone worked hard to do it, Brother Wei said something, after the world is truly at peace, we retreat, we can truly get together and count every detail of the past, so, he said, Zhaixing Tower will never be separated!"
Yuan Qingling can imagine those difficult days, has great expectations for the future, and is willing to make all efforts for it.
Therefore, the country they handed over to Lao Wu no longer faced many threats. However, unexpectedly, without external threats, civil strife broke out.
If you understand how they got here, you probably won't be able to think about fighting for them.
Mr. Chu and Mr. Xiaoyao were sitting on the porch to rest, listening to the conversation between the two, and the breeze blew gently on their faces. Everything in Tingyuxuan seemed to be the same as before, except that the young man had become gray-headed.
Life is fleeting, but they have left a lasting mark on their history in the Northern Tang Dynasty!
