Chapter 255: Protecting the Country and the People
"You, the one who protects the country and the people!"
As soon as Sheng Jing said this, Emperor Ruide's expression changed instantly.
After a long while, he said slowly, "The name is good, but isn't Jing's opinion of her too high?"
Protecting the country and the people is a great responsibility, and a girl who is less than three years old may not be able to bear it.
Sheng Jing remained calm: "My royal brother, if she can really help hundreds of thousands of soldiers to become self-reliant, she will be able to protect the country and the people!"
Emperor Rui De said: "In this case, I will wait for you to fulfill your promise."
"Forget it, it's getting late, you should go back first."
Sheng Jing heard this and stood up: "I will take my leave."
In the huge Fengxiang Palace, only Emperor Ruide and Concubine Xian were left.
Empress Xian knew clearly what Emperor Ruide was thinking, he was just a little angry.
Not really angry.
"Your Majesty." Empress Xian put her hand on his arm and patted the back of his hand. Upon seeing this, Emperor Ruide held Empress Xian's hand in his backhand.
"The prince is very different today. I haven't seen him argue for anyone except Zhiwan."
Emperor Rui De nodded: "Yes, I know A Jing's character very well. He will only become stubborn when he meets his princess."
"It's not that I don't trust him, nor am I a petty person who would get angry because of a word he said. I'm just a little afraid that he will have another weak spot in this world!"
"If what he said is true, it is too heavy to put such a heavy burden of protecting the country and the people on a three-year-old girl."
"That girl and her family were born in a peasant family and don't understand these things. As a prince, doesn't he understand these things either?"
"When the water is full, it will overflow!"
Empress Xian comforted him softly, "I understand what you mean. Just like the girl Xu Tianru brought with him, she is also a child under three years old. If she is not blessed, she will only be hurt by these rumors from the outside world."
"But the prince is not a child anymore. He is a father and a husband. Moreover, he has handled several important events in recent years very well. There is no reason for him to fall this time. So let's wait and see what the result will be."
"I feel that the girl from the Yu family mentioned by the prince and the girl from the Su family that Xu Tianru got from somewhere have many similarities."
"No matter their age, hometown, or abilities, they are all too similar. I just don't know if there is something unknown between them."
"And I also feel that the prince has some inexplicable hostility towards the girl from the Su family. This hostility should not come from Xu Tianru, but from the girl from the Su family herself."
After hearing what Concubine Xian said, Emperor Ruide also noticed it.
"They seem to be about the same age, right? I remember when Ah Jing asked for a reward for them, he mentioned Yujia Village in Songyang County, Nanyang Prefecture. Where is the Su family girl that old fox got from?"
Concubine Xian said, "I heard from Mei'er that they are distant relatives. The father of the girl from the Su family was once the magistrate of Songyang County."
Emperor Rui De frowned: "Is it such a coincidence? Songyang County... Songyang County... Why do I feel like I've heard of this place somewhere before?"
Empress Xian pursed her lips and whispered, "This is where Zhiwan was assassinated, and where the child died."
When saying this, Empress Xian was visibly much sadder.
Among all their close friends, only Lu Zhiwan has not had a good life in recent years.
Apart from Xu Liya's provocation, the biggest reason should be the death of the child that year.
Emperor Rui De suddenly realized: "It turned out to be here? What kind of place is Songyang County? Why does it have so many weird things?"
Empress Xian did not answer him, but reminded him: "Your Majesty, don't forget, if that child is still alive, he should be almost three years old now, the same age as the girls from the Yu family and the Su family. The reason why A Jing favors the girl from the Yu family is probably not only because she has her own ability, but also because she is A Jing's daughter."
Emperor Rui De was completely silent.
The Xu family was the most powerful family in the capital, and for various reasons, the couple in Prince Jing's mansion were constantly being bullied.
Lu Zhiwan went to Songyang County to avoid persecution, but who knew that an accident would still happen in Songyang County.
All in all, these things happened because of the emperor's indulgence.
Not only Emperor Ruide himself, but also the previous emperor and others.
One needs to be on guard at all times even in the imperial palace, let alone the royal palace.
Emperor Ruide still owes Shengjing.
"Never mind, let him be. Ah Jing said that we'll see the real thing by the end of the year. If he doesn't see me, I'll just give him some small things. If he does..."
"If I could meet her, I'm afraid it wouldn't be too much to give her the title of a county lady or something like that!" After Empress Xian said this, she kept an eye on Emperor Ruide's expression.
Emperor Rui De nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. If you see the real chapter, it really fulfills the four words of protecting the country and the people!"
At this point, Emperor Rui De patted Concubine Xian's hand, feeling quite relieved: "If I see the real chapter, I will make her the Princess of Protecting the Country, it's just a matter of titles, but people can't think I'm stingy, especially I can't let A Jing see me first!"
Concubine Xian smiled knowingly: "Your Majesty is wise, then I will wait for Your Majesty to confer the title of Princess on me!"
Emperor Ruide was very satisfied. He pulled Concubine Xian up, and the two of them returned to the bedroom in a loving manner.
……
After Sheng Jing left the palace, he wrote a letter to Yu Youyou overnight.
On the other side, Xu Tianru took Xu Liya back home. After arriving home, Xu Tianru's face turned dark again.
As the house was brightly lit, Madam Yu and her servants were waiting in the main hall.
After Xu Liya came back and saw this scene, she was filled with rage and vented all the grievances she had suffered in the palace and her current shame and anger.
"You all came here to see me make fun of myself, right? Who the hell are you? A bunch of slaves!"
"Come here, dig out the eyes of everyone here tonight and feed them to my pet!"
As she spoke, Xu Liya took action and slapped Madam Yu in the face. Her action was so fast that no one else could react.
With a "slap", Madam Yu's face was slapped to the side, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Madam Yu said in disbelief: "Miss?"
Xu Tianru just frowned, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and didn't stop him.
Xu Liya felt a little relieved: "You are not sleeping in the middle of the night and you are waiting for me here with people. Do you think you can see me make a fool of myself?"
Madam Yu lowered her head, covering the half of her face that was beaten, and said with a lowered brow and a pleasing look: "I didn't do it, but something like this happened, and I am the only one in the mansion who is more suitable to handle it. If the young lady doesn't want to, I am willing to be punished."
"However, this is not what I meant. It was the eunuch Wang who was beside His Majesty who told me to teach the young lady not to miss the auspicious time."
After hearing this, Xu Liya collapsed again: "Teach me? You are a concubine, what qualifications do you have to teach me? I am a legitimate daughter!"
