Leng Yingshuang had thought that her family might ask her to marry into the royal family, but she didn't expect that her family respected her decision and also considered the subsequent consequences.
As soon as the four people from Yongxing heard what Mr. Meng said, the fourth one immediately took a shortcut from the back mountain and returned to the palace to report.
At this moment in the palace, Ning Yucheng was telling his father, the king, and the queen that his sister didn't want to recognize them.
"Why?
What have you been doing there these days?"
The princess felt that there was no reason not to recognize them. Apart from other things, the wealth and power of the palace were something that many people wanted to cling to but had no way to do so.
Doesn’t my daughter want to live a better life?
But her daughter doesn't want to recognize her?
Prince Ning was also very surprised. He had never seen his daughter and missed her very much.
When I heard my son say that his daughter didn't want to recognize them, I felt sad and relieved at the same time.
"As expected of my daughter, you have backbone! Ambition! Courage! Loyalty!
What a good child with good manners and filial piety!"
Ning Yucheng...
But my sister does have personality.
The second son, Ning Yuzhen, came back at this time. The Chinese New Year was in two days, and the Imperial College was on holiday.
As soon as I got back to the door, I ran into Yong'an who came back to report the news.
"Meet the Second Master!"
Yongan greeted Ning Yuzhen and said, "No need for formalities, are you going to the main courtyard?
Let’s go together.
By the way, can you tell me if anything has happened at home recently?
Are Father and Mother all right?"
Every time Ning Yuzhen returned to the palace, he would ask any servants who could find out information, to avoid being unlucky enough to run into something he didn't know.
This is also the result of his several experiences.
"That's true, but I just came back to report this matter. The Second Master has arrived at the main courtyard, so you can just listen together."
This is an emergency, Yongan said and then loudly invited Ning Yuzhen.
"Second Master, please."
Ning Yuzhen always felt that Yong'an was trying to trick him. He didn't say anything and then exposed himself. He couldn't even ask others for information.
If he gets cheated again, let’s see if he will let Yongan off!
"Father, Mother, Concubine, Big Brother, I'm back!"
Ning Yuzhen greeted everyone in the room with a smile.
But the warm welcome he imagined, or the look of disgust at his return, was not there at all.
Father, mother and even elder brother were all looking at Yongan.
Yong'an did not disappoint them. After coming in to greet them, he directly stated his purpose of visit.
"Are you saying that the Meng family not only supports my sister in not recognizing the palace, but also tells you not to spread the news?"
Ning Yucheng was the first to lose his patience and ask questions.
"Yes, the Meng family cares about the girl very much and respects her choice, so the girl's father-in-law went from house to house to talk to us about this matter."
"Did Shuang'er tell me why she didn't want to come back?"
What the princess wants to know most is why?
Why is her daughter unwilling to come back and recognize her as her biological mother?
"I didn't hear what the lady said."
In fact, Yongan and the others could guess a little, but he didn't dare to say it, so he chose to keep silent.
“What what?
What are you all talking about?
Ning Yuzhen was a little confused. Did they mean what he thought?
However, no one paid any attention to him now, as everyone was lost in thought.
Ning Yuzhen asked Yong'an.
Seeing that no master tried to stop him, Yong'an simply and clearly said that the girl born by the princess was still alive and had been found in a small village outside the city.
"Then why doesn't my sister want to come back?
Our home is the Ning Wang Mansion, second only to the imperial city!
In this world, besides the emperor, the prince's palace is the most powerful. With such a good family background, even a fool would know what to choose, right? "
Ning Yuzhen felt that there must be a big reason behind it.
"Did you do something bad when you were looking for her, so she's too scared to come back?"
Ning Yuzhen grabbed Yong'an's collar as he spoke, waiting for him to nod, and then punched him to death to vent his anger for his sister.
Although he has never seen his sister, it does not stop him from feeling sorry for her.
"No, even if Second Master gave us ten thousand courages, we still wouldn't dare to do it.
Besides, we guys won’t do anything bad to a girl.”
Yongan was so scared that he immediately explained that they couldn't take the blame.
As the princess listened to her youngest son, she couldn't help but think of what she said to her daughter the last time she saw her.
"My daughter must have misunderstood that I didn't like her, so she refused to come back.
I'll pick her up myself!"
As she said this, she couldn't wait any longer and asked the servant to harness the carriage.
The prince felt very distressed when he saw the princess looking so anxious and regretful, but he also wanted to go find his daughter overnight.
"Don't worry, Shuang'er is a very good child, she won't misunderstand you. It's dark now, they will all be asleep even if you go.
It's still snowing outside, and the road is hard to walk on because it's so cold. Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow morning I will personally accompany you there."
"Yes, mother, let's go tomorrow."
Ning Yucheng also advised that they were worried about their mother leaving now.
We must send someone to follow them. Opening the city gate in the middle of the night with such a big fuss will easily cause panic.
Especially now it’s not very peaceful outside.
Because it had snowed for more than ten days in a row, many houses in the area under its jurisdiction had collapsed under the weight of the snow. This was the result of the government alerting various places in advance when the snow first started.
Not many people died, except for two elderly people who were crushed to death because they didn't have time to run out when the house collapsed in the middle of the night.
However, many people have nothing to eat now because the snow is too deep, almost two feet deep. The government is already distributing food, but it is difficult to implement.
If the prince opens the city gate with guards in the middle of the night again, and those who are watching closely behind the scenes find out, my father will definitely be impeached and may even be reprimanded by the emperor.
Although Ning Yuzhen, who was studying at the Imperial College, was not well educated, he still understood this simple political issue and joined in persuading his mother.
"Mother, please go tomorrow. I will accompany you.
Go to bed early today, otherwise you won’t look energetic tomorrow.
This is the first time we're meeting my sister, so we have to make the best impression on her."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that, because as soon as he finished speaking, the princess' eyes turned red.
"This isn't the first time. The first impression she made of me is long gone. What should I do...?"
Shuang'er must really dislike me now..."
When the princess started crying, the three old men in the family panicked and hurried to comfort her and asked why.
The princess tearfully told about her first meeting with her daughter.
Three gentlemen...
"It's all that Ning Zhuoying!"
Ning Yuzhen was so angry that he immediately found a culprit.
Ning Zhuoying, the scapegoat, was still soaking in the dung bucket when he suddenly sneezed, took a deep breath, and almost fainted.
The stench in this manure tank is not like other stench. It is not the case that if you stay in an environment for a long time, you will not be able to smell the stench.
This is not an ordinary stench, it is sewage, and it will continue to ferment, and the smell will change from time to time.
