The moment Princess Yongping Princess Jiang Yuxing saw Emperor Chengyuan, she was indescribably shocked.
They were separated for only a few months, but when they met again, the imperial grandfather was much older.
This imperial grandfather who once put her on his lap and laughed with her was like a mountain cornerstone in her heart, able to protect her from wind and rain and give her strength.
Now, the foundation stone of this mountain, which was unshakable despite the wind and rain, seemed to be crumbling from a distance, which couldn't help but surprise her.
"Grandfather!" Princess Yongping couldn't help but choke.
She had never noticed so clearly that the blue hairs in her grandfather's hair could easily be counted.
She had never seen the wrinkles on her grandfather's face so clearly.
Before Emperor Chengyuan started writing, he slowly raised his head when he heard the movement, and immediately smiled: "Yongping is here? Come on, come and take a look at the landscape painting that my grandfather painted. Is it hot or busy?"
Princess Yongping was originally walking briskly, but after hearing Emperor Chengyuan's words, her steps gradually became a little heavier after a slight pause.
In the past, when her imperial grandfather taught her to paint, she often said that landscape paintings should have movement in the stillness, and the artistic conception can be seen in the movement. She also laughed and said that her landscape paintings were famous for their liveliness because she did not like to leave blank spaces.
The imperial grandfather, who usually pursues artistic conception and style, actually started to flaunt liveliness?
"Grandfather, the young eagles you painted are all different in shape. You can see the true feelings from the details, and they seem to be chattering. They are really lively." Princess Yongping looked at the scroll carefully and held it up with a smile.
"What I drew is a young eagle, not a baby eagle." Emperor Chengyuan corrected him childishly.
Princess Yongping smiled and shook her head: "But Yongping thinks this is the young eagle!"
"...There is no difference between young eagles and young eagles!" Emperor Chengyuan muttered in a low voice as he resisted her.
"Of course there is a difference, the young eagle sounds more vivid!" Princess Yongping smiled and asked the servant to help put it away, "Yongping wants this picture."
"Just take it if you like." Emperor Chengyuan waved his hand nonchalantly and called his granddaughter to sit down at the table.
"You kid are here in a hurry. Are you afraid you're not just here to see your grandfather?"
Emperor Chengyuan waited for Yang Xun to serve snacks, and then asked his granddaughter with a smile.
Princess Yongping heard this and said nothing, just looking around.
Seeing this, Emperor Chengyuan waved his hand and dismissed the maids, leaving only Yang Xun waiting at his side.
Princess Yongping then took out the token from her arms and pushed it to Emperor Chengyuan: "Grandfather, my granddaughter does not dare to hold the token for dispatching reinforcements from the outskirts of Beijing. Please take it back."
Emperor Chengyuan's eyes turned on the token, and he raised his chin slightly, asking Princess Yongping to put it away: "This token is one-time use, and it will become invalid after use; its only function is to see the reinforcements from outside. , let the holder go for once. You can play with the collection."
"..." Princess Yongping blinked her eyelashes frequently when she heard this, and looked at the imperial grandfather, "In your mind, do you think your granddaughter will use it sooner or later?"
"Grandpa hopes you won't have to use it." Emperor Chengyuan sighed.
"Grandfather, do you think that your granddaughter will definitely avenge her father one day, or do you think that the uncle will be able to eradicate the problem?"
Seeing that she finally spoke her mind, Emperor Chengyuan looked over calmly, met her eyes, and said slowly: "If you take revenge, your enemy will be me first! If I hadn't insisted on taking the life of your father's concubine, he wouldn't have He is becoming more and more extreme. If you want to hate, neither the Yun family nor the Liang family are innocent. As for your imperial uncle... his biggest mistake is probably that he never gave your father a helping hand."
"The imperial grandfather's treatment of the concubine is actually supporting the mother-in-law and Yongping. If Yongping does not know the rights and wrongs, he will not be a son. As for the Yun family, that is the imperial grandfather's maternal family, and the Liang family, you have already Liquidation, it seems that Yongping is debt-free and light-hearted."
"Your imperial uncle will definitely not treat you mother and daughter badly after he succeeds to the throne. With your imperial grandmother watching over you, your life will be much easier. If he opens the imperial examination for women, you can also try. After all, official worship at the court and being a clan official The feeling is different.”
"Zong Ling?"
Princess Yongping knew that the emperor's grandfather had revealed everything to her.
However, she was not interested in the job of being a housekeeper for the royal family.
"Grandfather, Yongping has heard some rumors recently and is very confused. I want to seek your explanation, but I am afraid that what I say will offend you and make you furious."
Emperor Chengyuan looked at her, nodded for a while and promised: "Say it, no matter what you say, I will not lose my temper with you."
Princess Yongping's lips twitched slightly, and it took a while before she plucked up the courage: "Emperor Grandfather, if Yongping is a boy, will you make a prince or a grandson?"
"!!!"
Emperor Chengyuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Yongping Jianzhi's breath paused slightly.
Within a moment, she suppressed her heartbeat beating like a drum and looked directly into Emperor Chengyuan's eyes.
"So, Yongping has moved to the outskirts of Beijing for nearly ten years. Even though his literary and martial arts are not inferior to those of Langjun, he still has to live a low-key life, just because Yongping is not a man?"
"..." Emperor Chengyuan closed his eyes after hearing the sound.
"Grandfather!" Yongping's voice was filled with tears.
"Unless all the princes are incompetent, there is no reason to create grandchildren while their own sons are still alive." Emperor Chengyuan opened his eyes and asked her, "Yongping, ask yourself, are you virtuous enough to far surpass your uncle? "
"If my concubine had married Prince Huai'en, would you still be so determined?"
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Chengyuan slapped the case and stood up.
Yang Xun was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to help him.
"..." Princess Yongping looked at Emperor Chengyuan, who was still rising in anger, and suddenly laughed, "Emperor Grandfather, so my granddaughter was just born. If Yongping is the daughter of Prince Huai'en, I'm afraid that Grandfather I won’t be willing to give in.”
"Get out!" Emperor Chengyuan pointed outside and let her go, "I don't want to see you recently."
"Princess Yongping... you should go back first, ah!" Yang Xun was afraid that Emperor Chengyuan would be angry and did not care about his dignity, so he hurried over to lead the way.
"Grandfather, Yongping is leaving first, please take care." After Princess Yongping saluted, she left without looking back.
Emperor Chengyuan waited for her to go away and sat back on the imperial couch tiredly.
Yang Xun came to comfort him with a tea cup.
Emperor Chengyuan waved his hand and ordered: "If even one word leaks out of today's conversation..."
"I apologize with my head!" Yang Xun knelt down and promised loudly.
"Hmph! What do I need your head for?!" Emperor Chengyuan couldn't bear it and asked him to stand up quickly, "You should live a good life! There must be someone watching over me."
Yang Xun felt uncomfortable and wiped the corners of his eyes to persuade: "Princess Yongping is afraid that she has been wronged, so she speaks lightly... However, this also shows that your grandparents have a good relationship. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to do this." I’m telling you!”
"How has she been wronged by others? She is clearly seeking grievances for herself!" Emperor Chengyuan snorted coldly, "She wishes the prince knew about her ambitions. In order to prevent royal women from becoming ambitious, with the prince's big heart, he is afraid that the woman will be The imperial examination has been postponed indefinitely.”
"Ah? What good does this do to Princess Yongping?" Yang Xun couldn't understand how a smart person like Princess Yongping could destroy his own future?
