Yunfei never imagined that his path to becoming the heir would be like this...
He spent every day growing flowers, walking birds, listening to plays with his husband, going shopping, and playing around.
Tang Yujing was handling everything, and the Queen would call him to the palace every three days.
And it’s like she’s taken care of herself early...
All five sons in the family have something to do, but they have nothing to do.
"Three barrels!"
"Hey, your highness, don't move, I want to touch it!" Ye Lian'er happily pushed down the three cards in his hand and picked up the three tubes.
"Isn't it good for us to stay at home and keep the children very busy?"
Bai Ruyue sneered: "Brother Nianqing, don't worry about them, they are having a lot more fun than us right now!"
"Indeed, Hongdou attends various banquets every day, and I am quite happy to see it."
"What a fool!"
When Gong Liusu saw it, he became unhappy and said, "Your Highness! You don't even want to give in to us. We've almost lost all our dignity!"
"Haha, then I'll let you go pick out a few things you like from the treasure house as an apology, okay?"
"That's pretty much it..."
Except for Hibiscus, everyone else has been in the house recently.
Yunfei was afraid that they would be bored, so he simply played mahjong with them. Lan Nianqing watched them play, chatting together, and looking at the account books.
It is common for a few children to be busy and only come back when the moon is on the branches.
…………
A year later, the seventeenth princess was named King Jing and was sent back to the fiefdom, accompanied by her father Xia Guijun.
Xia Shuangxi and the Seventeenth Princess have always understood that anyone has a chance to take the throne, but they are the only ones who cannot!
Just because...the seventeenth princess retains half of the blood of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.
Three years later, the fifth princess was imprisoned for embezzling disaster relief funds and secretly cultivating an army.
Later, the newly appointed Prime Minister Tang Yujing continued to report her dozens of crimes.
The queen was furious and exiled her thousands of miles away. The implicated General Feng Lao escaped only after he handed over his military power.
In the days to come, he would be rich and wealthy, but no longer powerful.
Later, General Mu took the initiative to ask Ying to send troops to attack the Northern Han Kingdom. Tang Honghu followed as his deputy general, and the military power was in Mu Jin's hands.
Because Tang Yujing couldn't leave, Bai Ruyue followed them as a military advisor...
Five years later, the four countries signed a contract for a hundred years of peace!
General Mu, who had made great achievements, returned to the court with his troops.
That day, the people who were watching at the city gate lined up from the east gate to the market!
The man on a tall horse and wearing armor, with a hearty smile, raised his head high in the dazzling sunshine, accepting the love of the people.
Who would have thought! At the beginning, he was just a bastard in the backyard who was not even qualified to read.
Now we have such an achievement!
After returning this time, his biological son Tang Honghu will take over his position as general, and he himself can finally be free to travel with his wife.
As they guessed, everyone was rewarded this time.
Hibiscus submitted her resignation and handed over military power.
The Queen changed hands and made Tang Honghu a mighty general, granting him military power!
Even Yunfei, the hands-off shopkeeper, received a reward.
The reason is: good parenting.
Seeing that the Queen’s attitude has become very clear! That little girl, who is just over seven years old, is taught by her side every day. How could anyone not guess what she is thinking?
The eldest princess finally became anxious...
When Tang Honghu led his soldiers back to the border to garrison, she initiated a palace coup!
He led his men and horses into the palace overnight.
Tang Yujing, who had been well prepared, intercepted him outside the palace gate! All the masterminds were captured.
The eldest princess was escorted to her knees, and she looked at the old queen in the wheelchair with sad and angry eyes and asked: "In your heart, do you really think that my legitimate daughter has no status at all?
Since I was three years old, I have woken up earlier than a chicken, gone to bed later than a dog, and stayed up late reading every night!
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, in order to practice my calligraphy skills and give you a compliment, my fingers are red and swollen from the cold, but I still keep writing!
From the age of fifteen to the age of fifty this year, just to wait for you to make me your princess! A whole 35 years! Now my granddaughter has grown up!
You give way to that milk baby! How can I be willing to accept this? "
The eldest daughter's accusation made the queen's heart throb for a moment.
However, thinking about how she had repeatedly combined with her mother's family to force herself to be a princess over the years, her heart hardened again.
"Your temper is intolerable. If you rise to power, how will my daughters survive?"
The eldest princess found it extremely ridiculous, "Has the Queen Mother forgotten how she came to the throne in the first place? Now if it were me, why wouldn't I agree?"
"It's useless to talk more! Come here and put the traitor into the sky prison!"
"Mother Queen! I hate you!!"
The queen closed her eyes, hiding the trace of sadness that showed inside.
Tang Yujing, who was next to her, squatted down, held her hand, and comforted her: "If the imperial grandmother can't bear it, then confine the eldest aunt in the palace! Although she is not free, at least she is still alive."
"No! She is stupid and poisonous. She may cause a lot of trouble if she stays! After being the princess for fifty years and enjoying half her life in glory and wealth, she should be content!
I hope she won’t be in the emperor’s house again in her next life! "
The Queen, who had not slept all night, announced with a haggard face the next day that the eldest princess had committed suicide in the prison after her attempt to force her into the palace last night failed!
After such an experience, his already dilapidated body completely collapsed.
…………
After being in a coma for three days, the Queen summoned all civil and military officials into the palace and asked Aunt Laifu to read out the imperial edict!
After death, Zen was located in Tang Nanguo, the granddaughter of King Jing! Appoint Prime Minister Tang Yujing as regent to assist the young emperor in ascending the throne!
A blank piece of imperial edict was left and handed over to King Jing. If the new emperor made a mistake, King Jing had the right to change the emperor.
After the imperial edict was read out, Yunfei took his family members to accompany the queen, dressed in homely clothes, and went to play among the people for a few days.
They went to the market to listen to books, to the field ridges to watch farmers busy farming, to the Flower Street to listen to operas, and to eat in small restaurants...
In those days, the Queen was very happy, and her old face lost its sharpness, leaving only kindness.
Along the way, she told Yunfei interesting stories about her past, "Back then! Your father was as weak and harmless as a rabbit.
I was not the queen at that time, but just one of the many royal daughters. I encountered heavy rain on the road and hid in the temple. I happened to meet him following my father to offer incense.
I fell in love with him at just one glance! The tenderness in those eyes is what I long for most in this life!
Your father has a pair of clear eyes and is much stupider than your second son.
Although I like your kindness, I cannot agree with it. In the deep palace, it will only exacerbate your death!
Bai Xue is very good. She is more suitable to be an emperor than you. Her tenderness is only given to the people she cares about, and others will not get any attention from her.
Golden beads! Have I ever said...these days are the happiest days for me, just like...the clouds in my heart have been lifted..."
The Queen didn't speak again after that. Yunfei held the handle of the wheelchair and looked up at the shrunken capital at the foot of the mountain, looking a little lonely and melancholy.
"Mother Emperor, you are a qualified emperor, go well on your way."
