Su Wan admired Gu Yue. She had grown a lot and now she looked like a heroine!
But unfortunately, when she comes, she is no longer the heroine, because all the people in this book have become flesh-and-blood existences, no longer stereotyped paper characters, everyone is their own protagonist.
She also guessed that Zhao Hui's life would not be easy. Although Jin was remote, the environment was not bad, so acclimatization would not be a big problem.
"Why don't you see the young prince of the Duke's mansion today?"
During Su Wan's silence, Gu Yue spoke again. Su Wan's identity and that she gave birth to a son for Jiang Yu were not a secret. It was okay for her to know.
Just what does she pay attention to her son?
"Our child is still young. He doesn't like crowds and likes to be noisy. He is afraid of disturbing the interest of the nobles, so he didn't bring him into the palace. However, I just saw the young master of Prince Jin's Mansion from a distance, and he and Jin Wang Zhen was carved out of the same mold, his name is Murong Chen, right?"
Su Wan did see from a distance that three-year-old Murong Chen had a very similar face to his father.
This is also the name in the original work.
But in the book, they are the prince and the princess, so there is nothing wrong with giving their son the word "王" bordered by the word "王".
But to still take it like this now is a bit disrespectful to Murong Huai, as if he is provoking.
She didn't say that Murong Chen was the eldest son of Prince Jin, but in Jin, everyone called him the eldest son because he was Murong Sheng's only son. Su Wan called him young master. Although Gu Yue was smiling, she could still feel her. He bit his cheek hard.
"Yes, Chen'er is very similar to the prince, and they have similar temperaments. Can I go visit the young prince of the Duke's mansion when I have time? The two children are only a few months apart. I think they can play together."
Gu Yue said this probably because she wanted to inquire about the situation in the Duke's Mansion and understand the situation of the Su family.
When a war breaks out, it is very important to take hostages. Once a war breaks out, those Kyoto officials will be in danger, and their families may become rebel hostages.
Jiang Yu and the Su family are now the right-hand men of the prince. Gu Yue wants to control the layout of the two houses so that once the rebels invade, they can be captured as hostages as soon as possible.
But little did they know that Jiang Yu had already received the news and moved his family members.
Su Wan follows Jiang Yu wherever he goes now. Even if they attack the Duke's Mansion and the Su Mansion, they can only find two empty houses.
"Our family, Chengyi, happened to catch a cold recently. It's very serious. Children are weak and susceptible to infection. I'm afraid it will be transmitted to the young master. Let's wait for another day and invite Concubine Gu to visit us when we have time."
They are all people of status now, and they have to be polite when speaking and doing things on the surface. They can't blatantly choke like before.
Gu Yue knew that Su Wan was not stupid and there would be no problem if she agreed directly, so she was not in a hurry.
Returning to the banquet hall, everyone followed the usual procedures to complete the rest of the banquet, and left as soon as the time came.
The next day, Jiang Yu found a little boy from nowhere. Like little Chengyi, he had a pair of little pear dimples. When the little boy arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Yu found two nannies to watch.
He said that he would go out for a walk from time to time and take the child with him to show his face in front of others.
Su Wan knew his intentions and had to sigh, her husband was so detail-oriented.
The same goes for the Su Mansion. Su Jing asked the people who went out to buy according to the orders they would make when the masters were still there.
The children have weak stomachs and are very careful about their diet. But now that there are so many fewer people, the frequency of shopping is less, and there are fewer dishes, it is easy to tell that the people have been transferred.
They dare to guarantee that there will definitely be people following the Duke's Mansion and the Su Mansion secretly.
Before the vassal princes came to Beijing, Jiang Yu found a group of children and put them in the Su Mansion. Their parents were all there, so he didn't have to worry about running out of food after buying them every day.
As long as they are not deaf, they should be able to hear the crying children coming from the house.
Su Wan would go out to the street every two days with her baby in her arms and her maid and mother-in-law, to buy things and drink tea. She was very good at acting.
As for Chenglou, it is open every day. Someone came to ask why Boss Su had not been seen recently. The clerk only said that Boss Su had a problem at Chenglou in Xiangzhou. He rushed over to deal with it and would not be back for a while.
Gu Yue also sent several invitations to herself one after another, saying that several princesses had discussed getting together. They also invited ladies from Kyoto, including children of similar age, to share their parenting experiences. .
Gu Yue is very smart. She knows that there are always people in Kyoto who have seen Jiang Chengyi, so they know whether their baby is real.
Su Wan did not want to accept the move. Just when she was thinking about how to refuse, news came from the palace that the Holy Emperor was seriously ill. All the vassal kings, princesses, and ministers were summoned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Su Wan also came, together with Jiang Yu.
The vassal princes were all in the inner hall. The emperor vomited several mouthfuls of blood, could not even speak, and was twitching all over.
The emperor, who was in his fifties, was tormented by disease and was haggard, with gray hair, and was skinny and skinny.
The Empress was not much better either, she looked haggard, her eyes looked swollen because she was always crying secretly.
She was already satisfied in this life. She had been favored by the emperor for half her life, and he had also promised her the throne.
In the last few years, she had been by his side. There was no other woman, an emperor, at least the most powerful person in the world, who was willing to give her his only preference. What else could she be dissatisfied with? Naturally treat each other sincerely.
After staying in the Hall of Supreme Harmony until midnight, news came that the emperor had passed away. For a moment, the sound of bells sounded in the palace. The sound was very pitiful and hollow.
The bell, which only rings when an emperor falls, can be heard throughout the imperial city.
With the solemn and solemn cry of Eunuch Lu:
"Your Majesty, he passed away..."
All the ministers, concubines, and marquises knelt down, knocked their heads on the ground, and began to sob and cry.
Some are sincere and some are just pretentious.
King Yong was the one who cried the most sadly. He was as honest and honest as ever. He had no ambitions and was not smart, but he had true feelings.
His mother-in-law has always taught him to live a down-to-earth life, be a responsible person, and not to participate in any struggle, so that he can have long-term peace.
Therefore, no matter who succeeds the throne at that time, he can still maintain his position as the vassal king because he poses no threat. This is a great wisdom and foolishness.
King Yong chose to be obedient. These years have been very smooth and he has no worries. However, now is the time when he must take a position. If he chooses the wrong one, he will still be in catastrophe.
But if you make the right choice, you can be a wealthy and idle king like Uncle Xiang.
According to the rules, when the former emperor dies, the prince will ascend the throne seven days after the first emperor and be honored as the new emperor.
Seventy-seven forty-nine days later, the enthronement ceremony was officially held.
