Chapter 381: Hesitation will lead to chaos
Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi spoke in unison. Fortunately, the former's voice was louder, completely drowning out hers, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Eunuch De smiled and said, "I guessed that Your Highness would ask this, and I was already prepared."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve, held it in both hands and respectfully handed it to Mo Jinchuan.
The wax seal on the letter was still intact and had not been opened.
Eunuch De explained, "Her Royal Highness the Princess sent two letters. I took the liberty of opening and reading these unsigned letters. This one was specially left for Your Highness."
On the envelope, the four big characters "Jinchuan personally addressed" were as sharp as iron strokes and silver hooks, powerfully penetrating through the back of the paper, fully demonstrating the character of the writer.
Compared to the eldest princess who has lived in seclusion in the palace for many years and lived a life of luxury, this wild and vigorous handwriting seems more like it was written by a female general who galloped across the battlefield.
But Song Yanxi clearly remembered that the relevant records stated that when Princess Huayang assisted Emperor Xuande in building his empire, she did not charge into battle, but was always busy in the rear, gathering the people and collecting food and fodder.
The first husband she married was a wealthy man who dominated the area at that time. He almost spent all his wealth to help Emperor Xuande, who was just the leader of the rebel army at that time.
It's a pity that this man was unlucky. He had been married to Princess Huayang for only half a year, and they had not even given birth to a child. When he was returning home to visit his relatives, he suddenly fell ill and died on the way.
Princess Huayang's second husband, who is now a disabled person and is kept in a separate courtyard, has a brother who was once Emperor Xuande's most trusted military advisor. He died in the year when his great cause was about to be accomplished.
This marriage was not only to appease the military advisor's family, but also to let the ministers and people of the new dynasty know that their new monarch was a man of affection and righteousness who would never forget his roots.
Since the wedding of Princess Huayang, talented people from the people have chosen to serve as officials in the court or join the army.
Those refugees who originally chose to wait and see have also gradually chosen to settle down and start their own businesses here.
Just because they felt that Emperor Xuande would become a wise ruler.
As it turned out, they made the right choice.
Emperor Xuande acted decisively and ruthlessly. After he became emperor, he used thunder-like means to rectify the major families in Da'an and implemented new reform policies.
In twenty years, most of the people in Da'an were able to live a life without oppression, with enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.
The people were grateful to Emperor Xuande from the bottom of their hearts and regarded him as a god for overthrowing the corrupt old dynasty and leading them to a new life.
But no one cared about the silent contributions made by Princess Huayang behind the scenes.
When they mentioned it, they would only say, "Being the emperor's sister is really amazing. She's been married once, and when she got married for the second time, she still had the nerve to let three matchmakers and six betrothals take her home."
Emperor Xuande tacitly allowed these things to be known to the world.
But what about those that are unknown?
Princess Huayang married twice. Was she willing to sacrifice herself for Da'an, or was there something else going on?
Noticing Song Yanxi's gaze, Eunuch De coughed lightly and reminded her, "Princess, it's getting late. Hot water is ready in the room. You can take a hot bath to relieve your fatigue."
Both his words and actions were trying to drive people away.
Song Yanxi was not a shameless person. After hearing what he said, she nodded and prepared to leave.
When she turned around, she glanced at Mo Jinchuan inadvertently with a warning in her eyes.
Eunuch De has been immersed in the harem for many years and has seen all the intrigues in the palace. He has long since become an old fox.
If he continued to talk, he would probably have to send a letter overnight and have it delivered to His Majesty at an express speed of eight hundred miles.
By then, the vixen will have become her.
Right now, Song Yanxi was only concerned about the situation in various parts of the city and whether there were any casualties among the people before she left. She was not in the mood to act like a vixen trying to seduce the monarch.
In the past, this kind of role never had a good ending.
Unexpectedly, she was so cooperative. Eunuch De hurriedly stood up to see her out, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
He said, "My princess, you have worked hard these days. When I return to the capital and see His Majesty, I will speak well of you."
Song Yanxi smiled lightly, "In that case, I would like to thank you here."
"My Lady, you are too kind. Everyone in the capital knows that you braved the danger and went to Liang territory alone to support the prince.
When Your Majesty was in court, he discussed with the two prime ministers that if the princess could return safely, there would be a generous reward.
In my opinion, the princess's fortune is yet to come!"
Perhaps he was really happy for Song Yanxi, the smile in Eunuch De's eyes became more sincere.
But Song Yanxi couldn't laugh at all when she heard it.
She probably hasn't even returned to the capital yet, but her reputation has spread out, and she's likely to get into trouble in the future.
Not to mention anything else, just those noble ladies who have never married and are waiting for the prince to recover and take a concubine are enough to make her suffer.
She really couldn't afford this blessing from Eunuch De.
After escorting the person out, Eunuch De lowered his voice and advised, "The princess is a wise person. She should know that hesitation will only lead to chaos."
Before Song Yanxi could speak, Eunuch De continued, "Your Majesty knows that the princess is a good girl, and he also knows that you were wronged in the matter between you and General Lin.
His Majesty said that in the future, no matter which family's good Erlang the princess likes, she can just tell him, no matter his status, as long as the princess likes him.
Song Yanxi raised an eyebrow, "Even if it means forcibly robbing a man, why not?"
Eunuch De's smile froze. After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I can save it."
Song Yanxi's heart sank slightly, but she forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Yanxi would like to thank you in advance."
"You are so polite, my princess."
Eunuch De smiled and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty pities the princess and loves her as his own daughter."
Song Yanxi smiled faintly and said nothing.
But I felt more and more ironic in my heart.
It seems that she was right. Emperor Xuande understood the prince's secret feelings for her and wanted to make this a secret forever before more people knew about it.
Song Yanxi didn't realize for a moment that she should be relieved that Emperor Xuande had given Eunuch De the order to persuade him to surrender and had no intention of taking her life.
They should be angry. They had just escaped from the tiger, but what they cared about was not their health, but whether they had crossed the line.
How ironic!
Seeing that Song Yanxi didn't respond, Eunuch De knew that she was unhappy, so he lowered his voice and advised: "A wonderful woman like the princess, what kind of man can't she find?
Why bother to dwell on this dead end? "
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Eunuch De is right."
Eunuch De could tell from this perfunctory response, and continued, "There are many good men in Da'an, and quite a few are both civil and military. Not to mention those from far away, just take General Qiu Zongping for example. He is a man of great stature and good looks in Da'an."
Qiu Zongping?
Song Yanxi's eyebrows jumped violently, and she almost asked him what the hell was going on.
He is just a half-grown child, how can he be a match for her?
Not to mention that she had no intention of marrying off in a hurry, even if she had this idea, it would definitely not be General Qiu.
She really couldn't bring herself to eat it.
Seeing her expression filled with confusion, Eunuch De asked tentatively, "Doesn't the princess like a young man like General Qiu?"
