Chapter 493 Extra 12 Good Husband and Good Father, Letter from Prince Yu

She subconsciously wanted to find her mother to confide in, but when she arrived at the door of Chenning Palace, she left again.

From this moment on, she had to learn not to rely on anyone. Being lonely was the norm for an emperor, and she was determined to hone her character.

So she changed into casual clothes, left the palace, and wandered aimlessly on the streets.

The streets were bustling and bustling with people, and these people were the subjects she wanted to protect.

A little girl with two buns ran into her sight, and her eyes were filled with envy.

Once upon a time, she had such carefree days and could run to her mother's arms and act coquettishly.

Her eyes followed the child closely. The little girl was running and laughing, and accidentally bumped into someone who had just got off the carriage.

This man has an extraordinary demeanor and you can tell at first glance that he is a young nobleman from some wealthy family.

She had seen too many stunning people since she was a child. Apart from anything else, her father was a rare man in the world. Her vision had long been very high.

So she just glanced at it.

But after a quick glance, she looked again.

appearance......

It's not too bad.

The man was wearing a moon-white robe, and the candied haws held by the little girl stuck to his front, staining a large area.

The little girl also knew that she had caused trouble, so she pouted and started crying loudly.

But she could tell that the child was crying fake tears, after all, she had a lot of experience. The man obviously noticed it as well, and his eyebrows raised.

Just when she thought he would scold her or ignore her, he squatted down, took out a piece of cake from his arms, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and coaxed the little girl a few words.

The little girl soon stopped crying. He patiently talked to her about some truths and touched her head. Finally, the little girl watched the man leave with a blushing face.

She didn't know why, but she followed him all the way until she saw him enter the mansion.

No wonder she had never seen such a person in Lin'an. It turned out that he was an upstart who had just moved in not long ago.

After this day, she began to prepare for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, just when she thought she had forgotten about the matter.

But when I was too tired to fall asleep, I thought of him again.

Also, during the day, people talked about enthroning the emperor's husband after ascending the throne.

Her father looked at her gently and told her not to be anxious, but her mother said that if she met a man she liked, she should grab him as soon as possible, because a good marriage does not wait for anyone.

Favorite? Not really.

She just felt that such a man was suitable to help her raise children.

Most of her energy will be spent on the previous dynasty and political affairs, so the selection of the emperor's husband needs to be made with great caution.

Who doesn’t have some regrets in childhood?

Her child must have the best father in the world.

The empress issued an edict to select a candidate, but the Xiu family did not participate. She sent people to inquire and learned that the second son of the Xiu family had contracted a strange disease and was unable to serve the emperor.

She sent Wang Wanbai to investigate, and the result was as she expected. It was Xiu Ningchuan who was unwilling to enter the palace and took medicine to destroy his face.

The Queen Mother has many miraculous prescriptions, so it is easy to cure the disease.

In fact, it is a good thing that Xiu Ningchuan is unwilling to enter the palace. Only by being free from emotions can one keep a cool head and be at ease. She does not want to have another resentful husband in the palace.

However, things often do not go as planned.

The next day.

After Empress Chen Zhao left court, she handled government affairs in the Qinzheng Hall and returned to the Ziji Hall late at night.

There is still one more resentful husband in the palace.

His resentment was so strong that it almost overturned the glazed ceiling of the hall.

Empress Chen Zhao asked in surprise: "Why are you still here?"

Xiu Ningchuan sat in the hall, with dark circles under his eyes, staring at her and said, "His Majesty said he wanted to tell me today."

Empress Chen Zhao asked, "What?"

Xiu Ningchuan thought she had forgotten again. The empress often became confused at night and refused to admit her mistakes when she woke up.

He reminded: "Tell me the story of how His Majesty chose me from among more than 200 princes."

Empress Chen Zhao was in high spirits at the moment, and her mental alert level was very high. She smiled and said, "Didn't you say that I was attracted by your looks? You are right."

Xiu Ningchuan complained: "Nothing else?"

Empress Chen Zhao said: "Let me think about it... there is still a possibility."

Xiu Ningchuan asked: "What is it?"

The Queen curled her lips and said, "It's reassuring." She explained, "I feel reassured to leave the raising of the child to you."

Xiu Ningchuan frowned and said, "Is this why His Majesty chose me? Because he thinks I'm a good husband and father?"

Empress Chen Zhao looked at him, her eyes flickering.

She felt very safe sleeping next to him.

No one could soothe all her uneasy emotions like him.

But the Queen would never say this when she is sober during the day.

The emperor's husband was driven away by the empress again.

This time, Xiu Ningchuan was very principled and did not bring Zhenzhen with him.

Stream and mountain.

Ji Qingwu looked at his son-in-law who appeared in front of him less than a month later.

With a complicated look in his eyes, he said, "Ningchuan, your mother is on your side. What good thing did Zhao Zhao do?"

Xiu Ningchuan just smiled and drank the soup, praising: "I miss the lotus root and pork ribs soup here, mother. It's sweet and delicious. One sip can make me forget my troubles."

Because he didn't bring his granddaughter, Xiu Ningchuan was no longer favored by Zhao Mingyan.

Seeing the people around him had sullen faces, Ji Qingwu nudged Zhao Mingyan with his elbow.

She whispered, "It's obvious that Ning Chuan has been wronged. Don't be so sullen."

Zhao Mingyan took a sip of soup and said, "Everyone has grievances. It's not right to come here when you have grievances."

Ji Qingwu took the soup in front of him and said, "You went back to the Ji family and complained to my father. Have you forgotten?"

That's all old news.

Ji Qingwu pressed him to ask when he became attracted to her, but he refused to say and tried to evade the question by acting coquettishly.

Ji Qingwu did not lose her temper at that time, but when he went to court, she sneaked back to her mother's home with her two children and the baby in her belly.

After Zhao Mingyan left the court, he heard Fanghua's report and ordered his men to stop Ji Bolian who was walking to the palace gate, and the two returned to the Ji family together.

On the way, Zhao Mingyan had no idea what kind of magic potion he had given his father-in-law.

Not only was Ji Qingwu given a severe scolding, he was also driven away that night.

Yuan Heng and Jiujiu stayed at Ji's house for several days.

Ji Qingwu later realized that it was probably because Zhao Mingyan agreed to let the grandchildren stay in the Ji family for a while that Ji's father abandoned her.

Zhao Mingyan took the soup bowl in front of her and said, "I was right in that matter."

Ji Qingwu snorted and said, "You are the emperor, so you are right."

Speaking of this, Ji Qingwu could fully understand Xiu Ningchuan's difficulties.

Although Chen Zhao was not as cold and gloomy as Emperor Wu Su, it was still quite stressful to get along with him.

As someone who has experienced this, Ji Qingwu simply said, "Ningchuan, you stay here. Don't go back unless Zhao Zhao comes to pick you up."

But Xiu Ningchuan stayed there for seven days, but there was no news from the palace.

Xiu Ningchuan actually wanted to come here to learn from others and observe how the emperor and empress get along with each other, hoping to gain some experience.

But unexpectedly, Ji Qingwu detained him here, so even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't.

On the eighth day, there was still no news from the palace.

But a letter came from Prince Yu in the northwest.
