Chapter 28: The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King 28 (End)
Yuwen Yuan was stunned, his eyes gradually turned red.
He has no regrets in this life.
He held Cha Jiu tightly in his arms and said reluctantly, "You misunderstood me. My meaning was exactly the opposite."
"If I leave you before you, you must live well and be a respected queen mother."
Now it was Chajiu's turn to be stunned.
"I will wait for you in the Imperial Temple. Please come back slowly."
At this moment, the long-lost sound of the system reappeared.
"Ding! Yuwen Yuan's favorability has reached 100%, he is worthy of the Imperial Temple honor, and the mission of prolonging his descendants is completed. The host's overall mission rating is SSS level, and the points can be accumulated to the next world."
Chajiu burst into tears.
Finally!
A furry little head squeezed in between the two people hugging each other, and the eyes rolled around: "Father and Mother, can Jing'er sleep with you tonight?"
Cha Jiu and Yu Wenyuan looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Yuwen Yuan picked up Princess Jing, put her on the bed, tickled her head, and made her giggle.
After finishing his meal, the prince shook his head and left with his hands behind his back helplessly.
During Yuwen Yuan's reign, the country's agriculture developed rapidly, the famine-stricken population decreased dramatically, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and no disasters occurred.
Consort Zhao gave birth to four sons and two daughters for him, and they loved each other all their lives.
When the prince was 25 years old, Yuwen Yuan abdicated the throne and lived in the palace with the imperial concubine as the emperor emeritus, or went on tours in the south.
When he was 105 years old, he seemed to foresee that his destiny was approaching and brought Cha Jiu back to Yongle Palace.
He lay on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, with the aroma of tea wafting around him and the familiar palace scenery in front of him.
Here, his beloved woman stood at the door countless times, waiting for him to come down from court for dinner with a smile on her face.
Here, he also watched as more and more children surrounded his originally lonely knees, laughing, fighting and scolding, and gradually grew up.
He held Cha Jiu's hand.
Even though she is getting old, she still looks stunning.
"Yuehua, actually I..." He hesitated to speak, and finally smiled and shook his head.
Cha Jiu shook his hand back, gentle as she had been back then, as she had been every year.
Yuwen Yuan didn't ask, but he already had the answer in his heart.
From the unspeakable golden miracle during the palace coup, to the magical healing potion later, to the various strange things she took out every time the children were injured.
He knew she was no ordinary person.
But so what?
With such a wife, he was already very content.
The last maple leaf fell, and he closed his eyes peacefully.
The day after Yuwen Yuan passed away, Cha Jiu also passed away peacefully on the bed in Yongle Palace.
According to the agreement, Emperor Sheng Yuwen Xiao buried the two together in the Imperial Temple to keep them company.
…
Cha Jiu returned to the main god world and rested for a while.
System: "The donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this."
"Shut your sweet little mouth." Cha Jiu stretched his waist for the last time, "Start transmitting."
"Okay, in the next small world, your name is Shen Yanshu, and you have a twin sister named Shen Chisu. Both of your parents died when you were young, and you were adopted and raised in the Marquis' Mansion."
"The target of this mission is the prince of the Marquisate, Ning Changting, who is also your and Shen Chisu's sworn brother."
"But you have to be careful. In the past time node, Ning Changting's mother, Lady Ning Hou, has already chosen Shen Chi Su as a candidate for her daughter-in-law."
Based on the information, Cha Jiu had a general understanding of Ningchang Pavilion.
A gentleman who is aloof, aloof, and polite to everyone.
“Is there any medicine that can make the body smell good?”
"Yes, any flavor you want? Rose wine, wine, Maotai, or two-pot..."
Cha Jiu interrupted: "Why is the rose wine becoming less and less reliable?"
To conquer an introverted person, you have to use the method of knowing a person by his scent.
The scene before my eyes was spinning.
Cha Jiu closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Ning family ancestral hall where candlelight was dim.
Still kneeling.
Shen Chi Su was kneeling on the futon beside him, sobbing softly with her head down, saying bitterly: "I have long guessed that the Marquis's taking us sisters in was a conspiracy!"
She didn't care whether Cha Jiu was listening or not, and told him everything that had happened, just like pouring out the beans.
It turned out that today the palace had rewarded the Marquis's Mansion with several rare and precious pieces of brocade. The Ning Marquis's wife was extremely happy and wanted to find a tailor to measure Shen Chi Su's size and make her some nice clothes.
Who knew that the first sentence she said would make Shen Chi Su angry.
Lady Ning Hou's original words were: "This glittering and gorgeous outfit is befitting of our future young lady of the Hou Mansion."
Shen Chi Su quickly pushed away the cloth that Lady Ning was holding on her body, and said anxiously, "Mother! I don't want to marry the prince!"
Lady Ninghou's expression changed immediately.
She suppressed her anger and asked calmly, "What's wrong with Changting that makes you make excuses like this?"
Shen Chi Su hesitated and refused to say what he really thought.
"The prince is very good, but Chi Su only treats him as her brother."
In the end, Lady Ninghou was so angry that she made Shen Chisu kneel in the ancestral hall for five hours, and Shen Yanshu was simply the one who was punished because of the anger.
After hearing the whole story, Cha Jiu asked: "Why don't you want to marry Brother Chang Ting?"
Shen Chi Su stopped sobbing, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"Don't you know that when Lady Ninghou was pregnant with the prince, there was a palace coup. She blocked the poisoned wine for the queen, and the prince fell ill in the womb. He is doomed to be childless in this life."
After all, Shen Chi Su still looked down on the fact that Ning Changting had no heir.
Outside the ancestral hall, the breeze swayed the trees, and the rustling sound of the leaves blocked out the sound of footsteps stopping at the door.
The system reminded: "It's Ning Changting who is here."
Cha Jiu didn't look back.
Ning Changting came but said nothing and did not come in. He must have heard what Shen Chisu had just said, disdaining him.
Cha Jiu knelt straight and said calmly: "So what if I have no heir?"
"What?" Shen Chi Su was stunned, unable to follow Cha Jiu's thoughts.
Cha Jiu continued, "Brother Changting did not rely on the title of a marquis. At the age of fifteen, he took the imperial examination and won the top three places in a row. He took the first place in the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination. At the age of twenty-four, he was appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. At the age of twenty-seven, he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and concurrently served as the Junior Secretary."
"A man of extraordinary talent should not be looked down upon because he has no heir."
Shen Chi Su looked at her as if she had seen a ghost: "Usually you are silent, but I didn't expect you to say such a long thing once you opened your mouth."
"Yes, I don't want to marry the prince. One of the reasons is that I won't have an heir."
Shen Chi Su said, "There is another reason. This mansion is very conservative and restrictive. I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life."
Cha Jiu put her hands together and kowtowed to the ancestors of the Ning family: "When the Shen family was wiped out by bandits, if we hadn't been adopted by the Marquis' Mansion, we would have been wandering the streets and starving. Sister, always be grateful instead of finding fault with your benefactor."
Shen Chi Su was angry: "The Marquis' Mansion adopted us just to choose one of us to take care of the prince for life. Now that the person chosen by mother is not you, you can naturally say sarcastic words."
Cha Jiu said calmly: "If I am the one chosen, I am willing to marry."
Shen Chi Su looked at her in disbelief: "You are crazy. You have been blinded by the wealth of the Marquis's Mansion and have become superficial and snobbish."
"It has nothing to do with power." Cha Jiu knew that Ning Changting was still outside the door, so she spoke clearly, word by word:
"I have liked Brother Changting for a long time."
The conversations in the ancestral hall suddenly stopped.
Shen Chi Su was still digesting her sister's words.
Ning Changting saw the right opportunity and walked in.
