Before the plan could be discussed with the prince, news came from the palace that Master Yao had been waiting for the princess to enter the palace for an hour, and his majesty had already agreed to the princess's divorce.
Taishi Yao said that the princess's health was too poor, and even if she rested for a long time, she would not be able to enjoy an ordinary life. As a royal wife, how dare she hide in the back house and enjoy peace and quiet. And because of his health, he has not given birth to a boy or a girl to the prince for many years, so he feels unworthy of the royal family's kindness. Therefore, he asked himself to come down to the court and asked the prince to find another healthy and virtuous woman, who could relieve the prince's worries as soon as possible and create heirs for the royal family.
Qin Zongliang asked in confusion: "These words are not enough to make His Majesty immediately agree to peace?"
The chamberlain of Fengqi Palace replied respectfully:
"Teacher Yao also said that he was once your majesty's teacher, and the marriage was basically a kiss. The Crown Princess's current body may be life-threatening at any time. If the Crown Princess dies due to illness, the Crown Prince will not be able to discuss it for at least one year. We are getting married, and if we propose a divorce at this time, we are afraid of delaying His Highness the Crown Prince."
After the chamberlain left, Duke Qin sighed:
"As expected of Yao Yunting! He is so insightful that he can defeat my back-up moves easily. If he were willing to join the court and help the prince, the situation would be much more than what it is today."
Qin Zongliang: "If the Crown Princess really dies, the Crown Prince will not be able to discuss marriage for a year. His Majesty's body is not as good as before. Anything can happen in a year. Compared with reputation, real help is naturally more important. Grand Master Yao is really Love your granddaughter."
The entrance of Fengqi Palace.
The Crown Princess, who had just bid farewell to the Longevity Palace, lightly lifted her skirt and knelt down to worship:
"My daughter, Yao Huining, has been loved and taught by the Queen for many years, but I have nothing to repay. In the future, I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety by the Queen's side. I come here to express my gratitude. I wish the Queen's blessings will last forever."
Yao Huining kowtowed, regardless of whether the palace people communicated with him or not, he got up and walked out of the palace with his maid, leaving behind the dignity and stability that he had kept in mind, and his steps were brisker than he had been in many years.
After leaving the palace gate, Yao Huining turned back and took a deep look at the palace. The expectations, ambitions, depression, grievances, humiliations, sorrows, fears, resentments... seemed to be locked in the door behind him, and had nothing to do with him anymore.
Looking at the slowly closing palace door, a moment of confusion swept over my heart, but when I turned around and saw the carriage waiting for me to go home, I regained my strength.
The car curtain was lifted, revealing Taishi Yao's calm face:
"But regret?"
Yao Huining slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and the light in his eyes gradually expanded:
"I don't regret it. I just hope that my grandfather won't regret accompanying me this time because he annoys me."
Although Taishi Yao didn't smile when he heard this, his expression did soften a lot. He looked at his granddaughter getting into the carriage and said calmly:
"You're still too thin. The house stewed rotten meat for you, but I don't know if you still like it."
"Thank you, grandpa. Rotten meat is fat but not greasy. I like it the most. But it is too easy to gain weight, and it is a dish that is not popular in the market. I have not dared to eat it in these years. It will be fine in the future..."
The eldest princess's mansion.
Lin Jinyan was invited to come. The mother-in-law who welcomed her into the house the day before yesterday had been waiting at the door early. When she saw Lin Jinyan, she was busy and affectionately welcoming her in.
"The princess and the consort have been waiting for Miss Lin for a long time. They told the old slave to take you in as soon as you arrive. No communication is needed."
Lin Jinyan: "You look nice, but you have an old relationship with the Prince Consort?"
When the mother-in-law heard this, her smile grew even bigger:
"Miss Lin is really discerning. The old lady is the consort's wet nurse. Everyone in the house calls the old lady Yang Mo."
