After King Jing said this, the room became a little quieter. After a while, he heard Yun Shang suddenly laugh, with a bit of bitterness in his eyes. Sure enough, no matter in the past life or in this life, love does not belong to
her.
How can they be happy in such a forced marriage? They all have their own considerations, but the final result of the considerations is to get married. Only by getting married can they achieve the goal they both want to achieve. It is true that some
Too bad...
Yun Shang smiled and then fell silent again. She had grown up in this life. At least, she knew how to exchange her own marriage for the benefits she wanted.
"Although now is not a good time, there is no time to think about it any more. You must also know that there are 100,000 soldiers hiding in Ningguo. I don't know if there are more... At this time, if my father
The emperor no longer has trust in you, and other countries will take advantage of it. When the time comes, I am afraid that Ningguo will be overthrown overnight. I know you have ambitions, but the prerequisite is that at least Ningguo exists intact.
There is a need to exist, so..."
"So, it is the best way for us to get married at this time." Prince Jing raised his eyes to look at the seemingly calm woman in front of him, but a dull pain suddenly flashed in his heart. He still remembered that she knew that she asked
After the imperial decree of marriage, she was so unhappy because he coerced and lured her into pretending to accept it. Now, she talked about getting married to him so calmly.
When will this woman be able to live a good life for herself?
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and heard a hint of displeasure in Prince Jing's voice, but she could only smile bitterly, "Yes, we get the best of both worlds, why not?"
Prince Jing stood up and walked out of the palace without saying a word. Qin Yi looked at Yun Shang with some worry. She had been serving Yun Shang for so many years, and no one knew better than her that this
The seemingly calm princess, although smart, also has a very strong self-esteem. Saying such words is definitely not what she wants...
About a quarter of an hour later, Yun Shang's laughter was heard, and the laughter was wild. Qinyi looked over and saw Yun Shang's brows and eyes were full of joy, but the laughter was unreasonable.
Duandi gave birth to a bit of sadness.
"Princess..." Qinyi said, with a bit of pleading in her eyes.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yi, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Qin Yi, I'm getting married... Why..." Why couldn't she be happy? This marriage was more like a transaction.
.However, it was clear that she got what she wanted. She persuaded King Jing to keep the mountains and rivers of Ningguo. Moreover, Ningguo was so handsome that he was the dream lover of all the women in Ningguo. Should she be happy to have such a marriage?
But why, I couldn't convince myself to feel happy at all.
"Qianyin, let Ning Qian go to Qilin Mountain in person and see if you can tell which lineage the soldiers hidden in Qilin Mountain are from." Yun Shang rubbed his forehead and said softly.
Seeing Yun Shang's uneasy look, Qian Yin quickly calmed down and responded seriously.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you. Your Highness, please quickly follow the servant to the Qinzheng Palace." A eunuch was brought in, and Yun Shang recognized him. He was the person next to Manager Zheng.
Summoned by her father? Yun Shang smiled slightly. Perhaps her father was jealous of her and wanted to have a good talk with her. Prince Jing had already told his father that they were going to get married?
Yun Shang lowered her head and thought for a long time, then asked Qin Yi to get a purple tunic with tulle and put it on, and then took Qin Yi to the Qinzheng Palace without any hurry.
Manager Zheng was waiting at the door of Qinzheng Hall. When he saw Yun Shang coming, he quickly opened the door and said with a smile, "Princess, please, the emperor has been waiting for the princess for a long time."
Yun Shang nodded and walked in slowly. As soon as he walked in, the door of the palace was closed. Yun Shang's heart jumped slightly and he paused, but he still pretended not to know anything and walked towards the palace.
Go, the octagonal glazed beauty palace lanterns on all sides of the hall are on, and no one is waiting. Emperor Ning is standing behind the desk, slightly bent over, writing something on the parchment on the desk.
"Father, Chang'er is here." Yun Chang said softly.
Emperor Ning nodded and raised his eyes, with a gentle smile on his brows, but Yun Shang saw it, but the smile never reached his eyes.
"Shang'er is here? It just so happens that we don't have much government affairs today and have some leisure time. Your mother and concubine are not in the palace, and my father doesn't even have anyone to talk to. You can come and talk to my father for a while." Emperor Ning.
He smiled and pointed to the chair beside him, "Here, just sit there for a while. I'll be fine soon."
Yun Shang sat down beside her as she was told, her eyes fell on the octagonal glazed beauty palace lantern, and she seemed to be muttering to herself, "Why does the woman on this palace lantern look familiar?"
Emperor Ning paused for a long time and then said, "This is the portrait I drew for your mother and concubine before."
Yun Shang nodded and sighed softly, "Last month, Chang'er also went to Laifeng Palace. The mother-in-law is very good, and the baby in her belly is also very good. Soon, Chang'er should have a baby.
A younger brother or younger sister."
Emperor Ning softly said "Hmm" and was about to speak when he heard Yun Shang sigh lightly, as if with some emotion, "If a younger brother and sister are born, my father must never give them to him again."
I gave it to someone else to raise. The mother-in-law has been very miserable these years. If Chang'er was by her side and could talk to her, I'm afraid it would be a lot better. The people in Laifeng City were simple and simple. Before, Chang'er had thought of being with her.
The mother-in-law went shopping, but the mother-in-law refused, saying that she had not been shopping for more than ten years, and now she did not know what kind of things were good, nor what kind of powerful people there were to talk to.
Come, I don’t know what to say, so she doesn’t want to go out.”
Emperor Ning paused again with the pen in his hand, and there was a flash of guilt in his eyes. After a long time, he said, "I rarely hear you talk about your life outside the palace. How have you lived outside the palace these years?
Tell your father, it is your father who is sorry for your mother and son. Your mother and concubine entrusted you to your father, but your father could not protect you and even allowed you to be poisoned."
When Yun Shang heard this, a bit of pain flashed in her eyes, and the look of pain fell into Emperor Ning's eyes. After a while, Emperor Ning saw Yun Shang smile bitterly and close his eyes.
It seemed that he recalled some extremely unpleasant memories. Just when Emperor Ning almost thought that Yun Shang would not speak, he heard Yun Shang's somewhat suppressed voice speaking, "In the beginning, when Yun Shang first arrived at Ningguo Temple,
Because I was poisoned, I was groggy all day long. I kept taking medicine and bathing in water full of medicinal herbs. It took three months before my body gradually recovered and I could barely sit.
Now that you're up, you can talk."
"Later, after I got better, I don't know why, but there were always people sneaking into the temple to kill Chang'er. I escaped death several times. Once I was tricked out of Ningguo Temple by a young novice. There were many men in black.
I wanted to kill me. It was raining heavily that day. Chang'er ran as hard as I could. Several times I could only bury myself in the dead leaves. Watching those men in black passing by me, I felt very scared and afraid of being discovered.
, and I was afraid that I would never come back, and that I would never see my mother-in-law and my father-in-law. Later, the man in black was gone and it was getting dark. Chang'er was busy going down the mountain and rolled down the very high hillside.
, when I woke up, Abbot Wu Na said, my internal organs were bleeding." Yun Shang buried her head a little lower, looking like she couldn't bear to look back.
Yun Shang chuckled softly again, "Later, the number of assassins increased instead of decreasing. The abbot was afraid that something would happen to me, and that I would not be able to maintain my health well and leave behind the root of the disease, so he found one who was about the same size as me.
The girl lived in Ningguo Temple, and I lived in the small courtyard behind the mountain of Ningguo Temple, and barely survived. However, that girl was also killed not long before I returned to the palace." Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at
Emperor Ning's eyes were full of panic, "Father, many times, I thought I would never come back, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to come back."
"However, after returning to the palace, Chang'er was also assassinated. Just after Chang'er returned to the palace, when she went to Ningguo Temple to pray with the imperial sister, many people were ambushed in the dense forest. Chang'er almost thought
Chang'er was about to die, but the emperor's uncle saved me. That day happened to be the day when the emperor's uncle's class teacher returned to the court." There was already a bit of moisture in Yun Chang's eyes, and no matter how hard Emperor Ren Ning looked, he couldn't see any clues.
.
Emperor Ning frowned, and his heart was pricked by the dense pain. His daughter, who should have been the most noble woman in the Ning Kingdom, ended up living like that when she was seven or eight years old. No wonder, she looked like
She has such a mature mind and handles things neatly and neatly. She doesn't look like a girl who just got hair extensions. She must have been victimized a lot, forcing her to grow up slowly.
"You and Prince Jing have known each other for a long time? Why have I never heard you mention it?" Emperor Ning put down his pen, walked to Yun Shang, moved a chair, sat down in front of Yun Shang, and asked slowly.
Yun Shang's smile was full of bitterness, "I didn't know he was Prince Jing at first, and he didn't mention it to me. Moreover, the carriage I rode in that day was ordinary. I guess the emperor's uncle thought I was just an ordinary boudoir girl.
Well, although Chang'er was saved by him, he still kept the etiquette and only said to ask his name and wait until he returned to the palace to send something to thank him for saving his life. The emperor's uncle did not say a word and left. Later.
I met him again at the celebration banquet and found out that he was my imperial uncle. But I was scared of being killed in those years, so I wondered if he knew my identity and deliberately saved me, and wondered if he had other agendas.
So I made up my mind to stay away from him."
Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows, thinking about the authenticity of Yun Shang's words. He sent people to Ningguo Temple to investigate. She had indeed been assassinated many times, and he also knew about the woman who replaced her in Ninguo Temple, so
I was a little suspicious of her, but I didn't expect her to say it out so lightly and deftly.
"Then why are you so close? King Jing just came to me to beg me, saying that he wanted to choose an auspicious day to get married to you." Emperor Ning lowered his head and looked at the parchment on the table, which was written one after another.
"Kill", each one is more shocking than the last.
Yun Shang leaned on the chair, with a smile on her lips. When? I remember that at first, I was very wary of him, and asked Ning Qian to inquire about him, but I didn't expect that later, they started to cooperate again.
, just because they all want to bring down the Li family...
"If it was because of the emperor's uncle, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Chang'er to sit here and talk to his father. Chang'er always thought that the days in Ningguo Temple were thrilling, and he had to be wary of anyone assassinating him. It wasn't until he entered the palace that he
I know that the thing that can kill a person most in this world is often not the visible knife. Sometimes, the invisible thing is the most terrifying. My father still remembers that Chang'er once gave his father an embroidery
Gift? That piece of embroidery was given by the Queen Mother to Chang'er. Chang'er had been in Ningguo Temple for so many years. She knew how to embroider, but she couldn't bring out other gifts. She was afraid that her father would not like it, so she felt panic in her heart. The Queen Mother said
, let the imperial sister help Chang'er embroider a piece, and let Chang'er say that she embroidered it. At that time, I didn't know that the imperial sister's embroidery skills were unparalleled, and she was one of the best in the imperial city of Ningguo. As long as the embroidery by the imperial sister was
You can easily recognize it with just a few glances, ladies and gentlemen."
There were a few tears in Yun Shang's eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged, and her lips were trembling a little, "That day I was looking for a famous painting I took from Abbot Wuna to look for the imperial sister, and I happened to meet her.
The emperor's uncle who came into the palace to see me saw my happy face and asked a few more questions. Later, he said, since it was given to my father, if you can draw, the paintings you draw will be more sincere than those you find.
Many, I thought about it, and it was true, so I went to find a pair of paintings that Shang'er had copied in the temple and gave them to the emperor's sister. Later, at the palace banquet that day, the emperor's sister gave Shang a good gift.
My son has learned a lesson."
Emperor Ning naturally remembered the situation that day. At that time, he only felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. Now when he heard Yun Shang talk about it, he was a little more shocked. Unexpectedly, the queen was so bold, and actually
He still wanted to harm Chang'er right under his nose.
Emperor Ning sighed, and looked at Yun Shang with a hint of apology, "I didn't know that these things happened. You have suffered all these years."
After Yun Shang said so much, she was waiting for this apology and guilt from him. A very forced smile appeared on her face, "Father has the world in his heart, so naturally he can't take care of so many things. It doesn't matter.
Chang'er has grown up and can protect herself, but Chang'er is about to get married. Her mother and concubine are still in the palace, and there are younger siblings who are about to be born. I hope my father will take more care of them. Chang'er will be fine after seeing them.
I feel relieved."
Emperor Ning nodded, "That's natural, but Prince Jing's palace is in the imperial city. Even if you get married, it's very convenient for you to return to the palace."
Yun Shang shook his head, with a hint of reluctance in his heart, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Chang'er to stay with his father, the emperor and his mother. The emperor's uncle said that there is a very urgent thing to do now. In this imperial city,
There are many people who want my life, so he wants to get married to Chang'er as soon as possible and bring Chang'er with him. The emperor's uncle said that when this matter is settled, he will take me with him and we will go to Jinling together.
So I lived there. Jinling is a fiefdom given to Chang'er by my father. I heard that it is a land of plenty, the people live a prosperous life, and the scenery is excellent. Chang'er also wants to visit."
When Emperor Ning heard this, he was shaken all over. He looked at Yun Shang with a look of disbelief in his eyes, "What you said...is it true? Prince Jing...really said that?"
Yun Shang smiled lightly, with a hint of satisfaction in her smile. She seemed to have remembered something, and her eyes were filled with smiles, "Yes, I have always wanted to visit Jinling. I told the emperor's uncle a few days ago.
.Today, an imperial uncle suddenly came to tell me that he wanted to get married to me as soon as possible. He said that he had been at the border for so many years, guarding the country of Ning, and he was a little tired. Others always felt that he wanted to fight for useless things.
He felt bored, so he wanted to have a good rest and said he would take me to Jinling. The emperor's uncle said that he had been to Jinling once and said that Chang'er would definitely like it. If he liked it, he would stay there.
."
Emperor Ning's eyes turned around, his face full of doubt. If Prince Jing did not have that ambition, he would not believe it anyway, but why would he promise such a thing to Chang'er?
But why did King Jing suddenly rush back to the imperial city on New Year's Eve and tell him that if he agreed to marry Chang'er to him, he would hand over half of the military talisman to him. He once thought that it was King Jing's trick, but...
I couldn't guess what he was thinking, but that half of the military talisman was like a thorn in his heart. Thinking that something would change later, he spent four months laying out the plan, but he didn't want to end it.
News to Xiao Yuanshan.
One hundred thousand soldiers, as the king of a country, he naturally knew what kind of threat it was. If those one hundred thousand soldiers were at the border, he would not have the slightest fear at all. However, those one hundred thousand soldiers went deep into the country silently.
The hinterland of Ningguo.
He was a little scared, so he agreed to Xiao Yuanshan to release Prince Jing. He was still thinking that if Prince Jing knew that it was him who had done it, he would not let it go. However, he didn't want to, but he suddenly came over and said that he wanted to do it as soon as possible.
Married to Yunshang.
Does he know what getting married means? He personally promised himself that he would hand over half of the military talisman on the day of getting married.
Now he heard Yun Chang'er say that Prince Jing actually had some thoughts of retiring. How could he not be surprised? He had also suspected that Chang'er was lying to her, but every word she said today
, are all so clear, no different from what I investigated, I can't help but feel guilty, and I can't have any more doubts.
"Father, Chang'er has already seen it before he came here. The sixth day of the lunar month next month is an auspicious day. How about Chang'er getting married on that day? I'm just a little anxious, but if it's later, I'm afraid that the emperor's uncle will get married on that day.
I can’t wait any longer. My father’s errand is in a hurry? Chang’er thought that it would be a good idea to attend the ceremony before her mother-in-law gave birth. The mother-in-law said that she had prepared Chang’er’s wedding dress early in the morning.
