The emperor had never thought about this. But now, his son is getting older. A prince as old as him has already had several children, but he has not yet gotten married. He has also thought about simply getting rid of Yan'er. The marriage contract with Qin Ya will find him another good match.
But the one in Xianzhen Palace was obviously not a loving mother, and he was worried about entrusting Yan'er's marriage to her. However, the Queen Mother in Baifu Palace only felt sorry for Prince Liang, and she would not sincerely worry about Yan'er's marriage. Afraid of ruining Yan'er's life, he gritted his teeth and refused to let Yan'er's engagement be terminated, so that they could not just put people around Yan'er.
"Yan'er, tell your father honestly, do you blame him for these years?"
Zhu Yan smiled and asked: "Why did my father say this? Why do I blame my father?"
The emperor glanced at him and scolded him with a smile: "Stop pretending. What do I mean? You really don't understand?"
Zhu Yan stopped laughing and said seriously: "Father, I know my father's good intentions, so how can I blame my father? If my father hadn't done it for my own good, he would have terminated the engagement earlier and put his marriage to the end." Don't you feel at ease when important matters are left to your mother-in-law or the Queen Mother?"
The emperor looked at his son who was getting taller and taller in front of him, as if he had seen himself in his youth, and felt infinite love and admiration for him. He reached out and patted Zhu Yan on the shoulder: "Good boy, you just understand."
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhu Yan immediately struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile: "Father, I actually already have a girl I like in my heart."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh? Whose girl is so lucky?"
Whose girl is she? Zhu Yan really couldn't answer this question, but he could say something else: "Father, my son was in danger in the southwest a few months ago, and his life was hanging by a thread several times. It was this girl who saved my son. I and her As we get along with each other for a long time, we gradually develop feelings for each other.”
Seeing the emperor's suspicious expression, Zhu Yan hurriedly added: "Father, don't worry, she doesn't know my identity yet. She only thinks that I am a young man from the capital, and I am definitely not someone who clings to the powerful. I sincerely want to marry her." wife."
The emperor had not spoken for a long time, and his thoughts were spinning. From the Zhu Yan in front of him, he thought of himself twenty years ago. In that year, he wandered around the world, accidentally entered the Yaowang Valley, and was bitten by a highly venomous snake. When his life was in danger, It was the thirteen-year-old Baili Yunyu who rescued him, treated him with drugs and let him live in her boudoir.
He later found out that Baili Yunyu was the daughter of the owner of Yaowang Valley. She knew some medical skills and was a warm-hearted person. When he saw him falling to the ground due to poisoning, he wanted to hide in hiding.
The owner of the valley saw that his clothes and appearance were extraordinary, and knew that his status was extraordinary, so he treated him with great courtesy. After recovering from his injuries, he sent someone to escort him back to the capital.
It wasn't until he returned to the capital that he realized that the Baili Valley Master was no ordinary Jianghu man. He was also quite powerful in the capital. There were many members of the Baili family among the ministers in the court, some of whom were engaged in business and some who were involved in politics. , mutual support and dependence, they are quite powerful in the Lingnan area, and their strength in Beijing cannot be underestimated.
That year, Baili Yunyu was thirteen years old and had not yet reached the age of hair. And that year was also the most critical year for him to compete for the position of crown prince.
He temporarily put aside his personal relationship with his children and devoted himself to his career in the court. However, less than a year after he won the position of crown prince, the previous emperor passed away and he ascended the throne as emperor. The new emperor came to the throne, and everything was waiting to be done. He was extremely busy every day, and his harem was getting richer. He never forgot about Baili Yunyu. The queen had been infertile for a long time, and he had done it himself, just to give Baili Yunyu a high status.
