little son-in-law

The incident at Songmeiju was too much trouble, and everyone in the government and the public knew about it that night. The royal clan and nobles, Nangong Jingshen and a large group of uncles couldn't sit still when they heard the news. After discussing with the government for a long time, I went to the palace to meet the empress dowager early the next morning. It was not for pleading, but because it was too embarrassing. The princess who was called to get married was a big deal and must be severely punished, but this princess was too It's just like that for a dandy and a prodigal bastard raised by an unruly family. It's really unimaginable that a royal princess in a country can be so degraded. She is as arrogant as Princess Qingyun, and she will do it all the time. There is no such thing as slapstick in the street.If this person becomes the empress of Daning, it is not someone from Xiling who is lost, but the royal family of Daning is blind, and there is such a master who has no rules, no distance, and no brains.

"Empress Dowager, although the emperor likes it, but if such a person enters the door of our Nangong family, won't the world laugh at him? Even if you take Xiling into consideration, it's fine to be a noble concubine. As a candidate for empress, it must not be allowed. "The one who spoke was an old man in his 80s. Although his title was not considered high, his age and seniority were placed here. Even Nangong Qiuhu would respectfully call him uncle when he met him, so his words still carried weight.Nangong Jingshen has not gotten married all these years, and his attitude is also ambiguous. Everyone thinks that he is waiting for the princess of Xiling, although many people have doubts in their hearts. One sentence, but this time he managed to let go, and he took a tacit attitude towards the big wedding, and everyone was optimistic about it. As for the doubts, there was no result anyway, so let's not think about it.

The Empress Dowager looked around at the people in the room, her eyes paused on Nangong Ninge for a moment, then she nodded slowly: "The Ai family knows about this, and the Ai family will persuade the emperor to reconsider."

After persuasion for a long time, seeing the Empress Dowager finally let go, everyone showed some gratified smiles on their faces.

"It's rare that you all came here today. It's been a long time since we got together. Let's have lunch here before leaving."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"It's all a family, so don't be too polite. Sit down and chat with Ai's family. When it comes to the emperor, he is not too young. He has been on the throne for five years, and he should get married. He is busy with political affairs all day and can't be distracted. You guys Uncles and elders should help him pay attention to see if there are any good candidates."

"This is natural, natural."

Nangong Ninge couldn't figure out the real intention of the Empress Dowager, so he didn't say much. Today's goal has been achieved. As an observer, he just needs to nod at the right time.

After a while, someone came in to report that Princess Xiling came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

"Tao Niang, go out and have a look, just say that Ai's family is not feeling well today, let her come back another day."

Que Zhiqing came to test and complain today, but after listening to Su Taoniang's report, the handkerchief in her sleeve was twisted into a flower, the emperor disappeared, and now the empress dowager is also gone. Although no one mentioned what happened yesterday, their attitude has changed It was shown, not only did she not have a comforting reward, she didn't even have a heart-warming word, she didn't bother to save face, and it was clearly a contempt. In fact, she regretted what happened yesterday, and the accompanying officials also said that she was too reckless, but then In such a situation, if she doesn't reveal her identity anymore, seeing the merciless appearance of those villains, she is really afraid that they will hurt her. Is her life or face important?She is the future queen of Daning.

Su Taoniang didn't miss the resentment in Que Zhiqing's eyes, she just pretended not to know, and sent the person away respectfully but indisputably. Prince Xiaorong is the one whom the emperor puts at the top of his heart, and the two little princes are the empress dowager's heart The meat touched the heart of her old man. Even if the empress dowager had some ideas at first, they are gone now.

At the same time, some bad rumors gradually spread in the market. With the help of people with good intentions, what happened to Princess Xiling that day was exaggerated and exaggerated. She is a shrew who bullies others. The news of Beiyuan's rebellion spread. Everyone quickly linked this incident with Princess Xiling. After marrying back, it is not sure what will happen.

Yuyang had heard about these things, and she tried hard to recall. During the few meetings she had, she only remembered that Que Zhiqing was always standing behind the crowd. There is nothing about status in the family.

"If you want to get something that doesn't belong to you, you always have to pay a price." When the wind picked up, Yuyang took Yunzhi's hand and walked through the garden of Prince Ren's mansion.

"Mom, I don't understand, when can I see Daddy?" The little girl raised her face, asking the same thing every day, stubborn and persistent.

"Soon, soon, we will see you soon." All the preparations have been made, and now all we are waiting for is a result.

"Really, Mom, I really miss Daddy..."

The backs of the two, one big and one small, gradually moved away, and the flowers of late spring fell all the way behind them. Spring is about to pass, and summer is coming soon. The spring of the fifth year of Daning Jingping seems to be in a hurry in Shengjing.

The border war between Daning and Beiyuan was in full swing. At this time, the court was also experiencing a turmoil. Taifu Mo suddenly asked for a retrial of the case of Prince Rong's son. Taking into account the friendship with Beiyuan, after Rong Jin's death, the This case was suppressed later, but now that I think about it, there are quite a lot of doubts. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Punishment to pull out the dossier of the year, and found that there were indeed many strange things. Some people also pointed out that the part signed and marked was Yang Wenming, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. After being given a heavy punishment, Rong Jin was forcibly pressed down without knowing the personnel. The emperor was furious. Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry were ordered to jointly re-examine the case, and announced to the world to seek the insider.

An unexpected turning point happened at this moment. The prince Rong came back to life and appeared in the capital. He also brought with him a letter written by Mu Ya, the deceased king of Beiyuan Yue. It is clear that this matter also involves Beiyuan's current emperor, Mu Qiao. It is said that when he was a hostage in Shengjing, he planned to be unfavorable to Daning.In order to collect evidence to expose Beiyuan's wolfish ambitions, Prince Rong and his son cheated to death, endured humiliation, and kept their identities incognito for many years.

The evidence is convincing, the case did not have too many twists and turns, after half a month of trial, all the facts came to light, Beiyuan had been disobedient many years ago, colluded with traitors, framed the loyal ministers and generals of Daning, and conspired against his suzerain country In the past, there were some peacemakers in the court who advocated a gentle policy towards Beiyuan to make Beiyuan change his mind. After this incident, he has no position to speak out again. It is obvious that Beiyuan's plot against Daning is not a day or two. En Hui It couldn't impress them, and the main battle faction in the court became tougher than ever.

The emperor personally visited the door to comfort him. Rong Xi refused to enter the court again because of his injuries. The emperor gave him a special favor to rest in peace but still enjoy the prince's offerings. Zhi is the eldest son, and Rong Jin's second son, Rong Xingzhi, is the county king. The millions of soldiers in the southern border are under the control of Prince Rong's mansion.

Rong Jin has read the imperial decree in his hand several times, but he still can't calm down. Other things are expected. After so many things, the father and father are finally reunited, and they just want to stay together in the future In the peaceful days, this was all discussed with him, and he respected their choice, but Nangong Jingshen actually put all the two children under his name, which he never expected, but that person did Now, use the imperial decree to declare to the world, without leaving any room for retaliation, he can see that his father is happy, he is the only one in the Rong family in his generation, if he has no children under his name, the incense of the Rong family will go to him It was cut off. In this era, if it is not a last resort, no man will not pay attention to the inheritance of offspring. Presumably, the father and king would not be willing to see the cut off of offspring, although he never said it.The child belongs to him, and no one is happier than him, but when he thinks about Nangong Jingshen's situation, he really can't enjoy all this peacefully.

Nangong Jingshen, as the emperor of a country, has been on the throne for more than five years now. The politics is clear and the national power of Daning is growing stronger and stronger, but it is taboo to have no heirs. The pressure can't be relieved, even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid this test will not be easy. Those two obviously like Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi very much, and they want to let them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. The Empress Dowager will even represent the prince I gave myself all the Nine Dragon Blood Jade of my identity, which shows how much I expect. Can Nangong Jingshen and the others forgive me?

"Xiao Jin, where are you going?" Nangong Qiuhu stopped him at the door.

"Father, I want to go to the palace to see him." He couldn't let that man bear all this alone.

"This is different from the past. Your identity has been restored. You are now Prince Rong of Daning. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching your every move outside. Besides, you are now a courtier. , and cannot step into the harem, since Jingshen has already made a decision on this matter, there must be a way to deal with it, and those two are his grandmother and mother after all." He understood what Xiaojin was going to do.

In fact, Nangong Jingshen did bear the empress dowager's fury in Yongning Palace, "If you insist on identifying him alone, Aijia is up to you. After he enters the palace, you have to record the two children in his name." Next, the Ai family does not object, but what are you doing now? Nangong Jingshen, you are the emperor of Daning. You were criticized for not entering the harem and having no heirs. Now you finally have a child, but you Let them take the surname of Rong Jin, how do you explain to the Nangong clan? The Rong family also wants to stay, and the Ai family is not such an unreasonable person, but you should keep one, but what about you? The Ai family doesn't care about anything, you leave one for the Ai family, Jing Zhi is the son of Prince Rong, so you will keep Xing Zhi. You could have been a prince, but what kind of county king should you be?"

"Imperial Grandmother." Nangong Jingshen had long thought of the imperial decree, and such a situation was inevitable, so she avoided Xiao Jin's routine face-to-face to thank the saint, and came to Yongning Palace to plead guilty, "Imperial Grandmother, drink some tea, first calm down."

The Empress Dowager pushed aside the teacup he handed over, "The Ai family has nothing to say to you, in a word, will Xing Zhi come back?"

"Emperor Grandmother, the imperial decree has already been issued, and there is absolutely no reason to change it."

"Well, you don't have to wrong yourself to appease Ai's family. There is no room for Ai's family in the palace. Ai's family will leave for Jiangnan tomorrow, so as not to stay here to hinder your eyes. You can do whatever you want, and don't worry about anything. I'll take care of you." The Empress Dowager turned around and was about to leave.

"Mother's Empress." After hearing the news, Empress Dowager Mei rushed over, and first supported the Empress Dowager to sit down, "Mother Empress calm down, her health is important, we can discuss things slowly."

"Your grandson is gone, what else is there to discuss?" The Empress Dowager didn't want to hear anything now.

Empress Dowager Mei's complexion was not very good either, "Queen Mother, I have heard about this matter, but Jingshen's order has been made. He is the emperor now, so he must not break his promise to the subjects of the world."

Nangong Jing was deeply surprised. He didn't expect his mother to be on his side. He thought she would be as angry at his assertion as the emperor's grandmother.

"You made your imperial grandmother so angry, why don't you hurry up and apologize." Empress Dowager Mei gave him a wink.

Nangong Jing knelt down deeply, "Grandmother, I know that I didn't discuss this matter with you. I was wrong. Even if Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi followed Xiaojin's surname, they still called me Father Huang or your great-grandson. This is not right. It will change." Seeing that no one spoke, he took a deep breath and continued: "Emperor Grandmother, you also know that they were bought by Xiaojin, and Xiaojin brought them up single-handedly. I have never done my best. Take the responsibility of being a father, how do you want me to open my mouth and snatch them from Xiaojin?"

He was kneeling like this, and the Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable. She was silent for a while, and when she spoke again, her tone softened, "We will compensate him in the future."

Nangong shook her head deeply, "Grandmother, some things are in the past, and they cannot be made up for, just like," he gritted his teeth, and said the following words, "It's like Xiao Jin's body, if it was destroyed six years ago, it will be destroyed. I don't know how long I can be with him, maybe 20 years, maybe ten years, maybe five years, maybe...less."

The Empress Dowager gasped, and the Empress Dowager Mei was also suffocated.

"Besides, doesn't Xiaojin have a child in her belly? She will be born in three months, and that will be the legitimate descendant of our Nangong family."

"Who can guarantee that it is a prince?" The Empress Dowager sighed.

Xiaojin's stomach is already obvious now. When I went to see him a few days ago, he yawned and walked in the garden. When he saw him, he complained that the third child was naughty and wouldn't let him sleep, but his face still looked happy. Thinking of that person, Nangong Jingshen's always indifferent eyes showed a soft smile: "Yes, yes, even if this is not, when Xiao Jin takes care of her body, we will have many children in the future."

"I hope so." The Empress Dowager supported her forehead, looking very tired, "You go down first, Ai's family is a little tired, as long as your mother is here with you."

Nangong Jingshen still wanted to say something, but she heard Queen Mother Mei say: "Jingshen, you go back first, I am here to accompany the old ancestor."

Nangong Jing knew that it would be useless to talk too much, "Grandmother, Queen Mother, I will take my leave first."

"You also agree with him to do this?" After people walked away, the Empress Dowager asked the only person in the room.

Empress Dowager Mei threw a cake bait of tranquilizing incense into the incense burner, refilled a cup of tea and brought it over, and sat beside the Empress Dowager, "Mother, that child Rong Jin really suffered. When he was sentenced, Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi were only one or two months old in his womb, and it was a blessing to be able to keep them." Jing Shen just mentioned six years ago, and she was probably reminding them of what they did back then.

The Empress Dowager Mei didn't know how to persuade her that day. The Empress Dowager really didn't mention this anymore, but she didn't see Nangong Jingshen. In the end, the two little guys were capable. After the Empress Dowager got angry, she still couldn't bear to part with these two after all. The baby who came back, this is already the case, they are all her children, what else can she do?

After 23 years, Prince Rong reappeared in the court hall of Daning, which opened the most glorious chapter in the history of Daning.
