Sun Caiyao was taken to the Mingyue Palace and slept soundly. When she woke up, the sky was already bright.
Birds sang outside the window, and she stared at the peony picture embroidered on the bed tent, stunned for a long time.
Suppressed crying came in from outside the bed canopy, she propped herself up and sat up, opened the curtain and saw her mother who was covering her face and wiping her tears.
"Miss Sun is awake."
Someone called, someone put a cushion behind her, someone put a robe on her, someone fed her steaming porridge, and a woman put her hand on her wrist, It seems to be calling for her pulse.
"Qi and blood are depleted, you are too scared, don't think too much." Doctor Liu retracted her hand, walked to the table and prescribed a prescription, and handed it to Mrs. Sun who stopped crying: "Your daughter's health is not serious, after returning home Just take it easy for a while.”
"Thank you, Doctor Liu." Mrs. Sun knew that this Doctor Liu was the granddaughter of Imperial Doctor Liu, the sage of Xinglin, and was valued by the Empress. She politely accepted the prescription and thanked her again and again.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Sun." Liu Yinu turned her head and bowed: "I'll take my leave first, and ask Miss Sun to rest well."
Miss Sun
Sun Caiyao stared blankly at the back of Liu Yinu's departure. Since she married Yun Yanze, no one called her Sun girl. Is she dreaming at the moment
"Cai Yao, mother will pick you up now." Seeing that her daughter was awake, Mrs. Sun didn't say a word, and her taut tears fell again: "Your Majesty and the Queen have already allowed me, and you will bring me when you wake up. You go home, let's go."
"Go home?" Sun Caiyao grabbed Mrs. Sun's hand tremblingly: "Where are you going back?"
"Sun Mansion, your home."
"Really?" She was afraid it was a dream.
Mrs. Sun nodded heavily.
"Okay, let's go."
Even in a dream, she wanted to escape from this palace.
"Miss Sun, this is the reward given to you by the Empress. You can take it back with you."
"Your dowry, someone from the Central Palace has been sent to clean it up, and it will be sent back to you in a few days."
"The soft sedan chair is ready, Miss Sun pay attention to her feet and don't blow the cold wind."
It really was a dream, she was a royal wife, how could His Majesty and the Queen let her go back to her parents' home, and even reward her, even returning the dowry.
Sitting in the rickety sedan chair, watching the sedan chair get closer and closer to the palace gate, it only takes a few dozen steps to walk out of the palace.
Close, close, Sun Caiyao held her breath until the soft sedan chair passed through the high palace gate and into the bustling street.
Listening to the clamor outside the sedan chair, she buried her head in her palms and burst into tears.
In the past, she only thought these voices were noisy and vulgar, but now she understands how precious it is to have them again.
[Because you are asking me for help. 】
This sentence appeared in her mind, and Ming Jiuzhu's every expression when she said this sentence was deeply remembered in her heart.
In this life, she will owe Ming Jiuzhu, and there is no time to pay it back.
When Sun Caiyao returned home, the whole family treated her as if she had never been married. Only then did she know that Yun Yanze had been demoted to a commoner and expelled from the genealogy for sending someone to assassinate her feet, offending Shengyan, and being unfaithful and unfilial. , was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of the Zongren Mansion for life.
Yun Yanze committed such a big crime. As his concubine, not only was she not implicated, but she was also put back home
"Not only that, His Majesty has also sealed your township lordship, allowing you to remarry in the future." Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter's thin face: "Don't worry, your father and I have prepared a heavy gift, and we will go to Ming's house to thank you."
Sun Caiyao nodded, Jiuzhu saved her in Yun Yanze's hands, it was time to thank her.
"Last night, it was King Chen and Princess Chen who braved His Majesty's anger and stood up to beg you for mercy." Master Sun bowed his hands in the direction of the palace: "Your Majesty is merciful, looking at the merits of our Sun family for the common people, not only I set you free and saved you a face."
The title of this township lord has no food and is not a real title, but it has preserved the dignity of his daughter and the Sun family. This is how His Majesty and the Empress showed to the world that the Sun family and their daughter knew nothing about the Fourth Prince's treasonous actions.
"Your Majesty is benevolent, the Queen is kind, and King Chen and his wife have benevolence and righteousness. Our grandson family is ashamed of the royal family." At first, His Majesty intended his daughter to marry King Chen. By default, the daughter is in contact with the fourth prince.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Chen Wang and his wife who saved their daughter from water and fire.
The fourth prince he favored was a beast and a hypocrite.
"King Chen and Ming Jiuzhu... intercede for me?" Sun Caiyao sat on the bed in a daze, and did not recover for a long time, not even knowing when his father left his room.
After the fourth prince was thrown into the prison of the clan's mansion, and the numerous crimes he committed were revealed, the expressions of the officials who had praised the fourth prince became very exciting.
Above the court, no one dared to intercede for the Fourth Prince.
Murdering a brother, doing it a second time if it fails once, putting eyeliner in other brothers' houses, and even deliberately sending people to spread rumors and smear the reputation of other brothers.
The first prince is reckless, the second prince is stupid, and the fifth prince is playful. Behind these remarks, are the fourth prince and his biological mother's handwriting
Listening to the officials of the sect's mansion reciting the crimes of the fourth prince one after another, the officials began to suspect that the assassination of King Ning last year was a bitter trick of the fourth prince himself.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that it only hurt him a little bit of flesh.
When the sect's manor finished reading the crimes of the fourth prince, Emperor Longfeng blamed himself: "The son does not teach, the fault of the father is all my fault."
When the ministers heard it, they couldn't make His Majesty feel bad, so they stepped forward to comfort him.
"Nine sons born to the dragon are different from each other. The eldest prince is good at martial arts, acts decisively, and is very heroic." It's just that sometimes his personality is too straightforward.
"The second prince is benevolent, honest, and has countless advantages." It's just that the advantages are not very obvious.
"The fifth prince is smart and alert, with a pure heart, and both loyalty and filial piety." The person who stood up to praise the fifth prince was not an official of the Ministry of Rites, but Mr. Chen who liked to slap his head against a pillar whenever he disagreed.
After he opened his mouth, there was a moment of silence in the court room, and then many people praised the fifth prince, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were especially active.
"Is the words of the Aiqing true?"
"Naturally."
"The ministers do not dare to deceive the king."
"I understand your thoughts." Emperor Longfeng sighed and nodded: "It seems that the canonization of the crown prince is imminent."
All courtiers, look at me, I look at you.
Did you petition Prince Li just now
It's not me, I don't, is it not you
You see what I am doing, I politely followed suit and praised the Fifth Prince.
So no one mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince. Did His Majesty propose it himself
Some time ago, they asked His Majesty to establish a prince, but His Majesty did not respond.
What is this called
Will it be more fragrant if you propose it yourself
"Through the matter of the fourth prince, I understand one thing, it is not a good thing for the crown prince to be vacant."
Oh.
"As a father, I should let them know how to grow up. As an emperor, I should let them know how to take responsibility."
Simple, simple way of speaking.
"Since you all praise the fifth prince's pure heart, benevolence, filial piety, and virtue, then I will follow the wishes of the Qing family and canonize the fifth prince Du Qing as the crown prince."
Ministers:
ah? !
to their will
Otherwise, how is it to be an emperor, this shameless level is really incomparable to ordinary people.
"Where is the supervisor of Qin Tianjian?" When he said that he had to comply with the will of the minister, Emperor Longfeng didn't wait for a moment. He looked at the supervisor of Qintianjian, who was out, and said, "Which is the most auspicious day for the canonization of the prince?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, fourteen days later, it will be the auspicious day of the zodiac."
"Very good." Emperor Longfeng nodded: "Then it will be set on this day. Do you have any suggestions for the ceremony of the canonization of the prince?"
Listen, I asked if you have any suggestions for the ceremony, not what you think about the selection of the crown prince.
It was as if they had any suggestion, His Majesty could change his mind.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Li En, Minister of Rites, stood up and shouted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for choosing the best candidate for the crown prince."
the best
Bah, shameless flatterer, relying on King Chen, how much benefit did he get for the Ministry of Rites
"His Royal Highness was crowned the crown prince, which is what everyone expects."
This time, the one who stood up was Wang Shilang from the Ministry of Housing.
Everyone turned their heads, I didn't expect, ah, I didn't expect that even the speed of flattering the Ministry was so fast.
You must know that the Ministry of Household, up and down, used to admire the Fourth Prince very much. I didn't expect to see the wind turn the rudder so quickly, trying to pull the thigh of King Chen.
Geez, it's so realistic.
Look at the eldest and third child of the Ming family, King Chen is their son-in-law of the Ming family, and they didn't stand up to say a word, how upright and arrogant.
As expected of the Ming family.
The fact that the fifth prince was canonized as the prince could not be changed. Although the fifth prince does not occupy the chief, but he is from the middle palace, and he occupies a direct line.
The successor is not established, and there is no mistake in picking the rules.
If the current behavior of King Chen was the same as it was two years ago, they would stand up against it no matter what, but they saw the change in King Chen.
They also knew the memorials he had reviewed for His Majesty and the instructions he had given.
The most important thing is that under the unruly words and deeds of the fifth prince, there is still a benevolence to the common people.
He may not be a straight-forward, perfect image of a prince, but he has the most important thing about being a prince.
Kindness and virtue.
The memorials distributed to the states and counties are the best proof.
Therefore, even if the fifth prince sometimes acts a little absurdly, they acquiesce.
When night fell, Emperor Longfeng took King Chen to sit down on the steps of Taiyang Palace, just like a father and son sitting in the overgrown garden of the diving residence more than ten years ago, eating roasted sweet potatoes and watching the stars.
It's just that what they are holding now is not sweet potatoes, but delicate desserts sent by Queen Su.
"Father." King Chen looked up for a long time, and his neck was sore: "There are no stars tonight, why don't we go back. After you go to accompany your mother, I will go back to accompany your daughter-in-law."
Their father and son, an emperor and a prince, are sitting on the steps of the gate, what does it look like.
Hearing his son mentioned his daughter-in-law, Emperor Longfeng's expression became subtle for a moment: "I really didn't expect that Ming Jingzhou is gentle and gentle, and the daughter he gave birth to is quite powerful."
"It's not that she is strong, she's just too angry." King Chen retorted: "After returning to the Qilin Palace last night, Erchen rubbed her legs for half an hour."
Don't talk, don't talk.
The dignified lord, closing the door and rubbing her daughter-in-law's legs for so long is nothing to brag about.
"You don't need to explain, the emperor understands." Emperor Longfeng patted him on the shoulder: "Son, as men, we must be gentle with our daughter-in-law, and don't make them angry, you know?"
The Ming family treats him faithfully and wholeheartedly. If his daughter beats you up, the royal father will not be able to support you.
