They either wanted to get close to the Ning family or choose a wife to inherit the family line, and they also wanted him to stay at home to take care of the husband and children after he got married.
It is difficult to spend even a moment with a stranger, let alone spend your whole life in such an unhappy situation.
The deep love between the emperor and the empress is naturally enviable, but even if it cannot be like that, he still hopes to find someone who shares the same beliefs. Perhaps it was an unintentional thought in his heart, Ning Yin thought of Cheng Ze Rui.
At the end of the campaign to conquer the vassal states, Cheng Ze Rui returned to the capital and received numerous rewards from His Majesty. Ning Yin thought he would come to find him, but a few days later he heard from other people that His Majesty intended to marry the royal princess to him, but it was still unknown whether it would be finalized or not.
That person climbed up step by step, and all his current achievements were accumulated by himself, which was enough for Princess Shang.
Once he married the princess, he would not bother her again in the future. However, Ning Yin did not notice it at that time, and walked all the way to the door of the general's mansion and stood there all night.
Perhaps people just cannot allow what belongs to them to be taken away by others. Perhaps they are really born to be mean. They always think about what they cannot get, but turn a blind eye to the people who are by their side. Only when the people are about to leave do they suddenly realize the situation and are left with only regret.
Naturally, the Northwest General Cheng Ze Rui also found a young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion sleeping soundly against the wall under the gate of the mansion, and the matter was settled.
Cheng Ze Rui asked His Majesty to grant him a marriage based on this achievement. They are truly a perfect match.
The marriage was already done. Ning Yin heard the news just as she was diagnosed with pregnancy. Expectant men should not get excited, but he stood up from his chair and said, "Your Majesty, is it really Shuang'er?!"
Cheng Ze Rui was a man of great skill and sensitivity. In a hurry, he quickly supported her and said, "Hold on steady. It would be bad if the fetus gets upset."
"I was just excited for a moment." Ning Yin scratched his cheek and asked as he sat down, "Is Your Majesty really Shuang'er?"
Didn't he have a crush on Shuang'er at the time?! They were both Shuang'er, but His Majesty was truly more impressive than him.
"Your Majesty is a Shuang'er, and the Queen is a man. Madam, don't you still think you have a chance?" Cheng Ze Rui looked at him sitting firmly, his face straight.
He knew that he was no match for the Queen, so he followed the trick taught by the man and seduced him. That man was the one Ning Yin had been thinking about since childhood. If that man had been a man in the past, Ning Yin would probably never marry him in this life.
Ning Yin exclaimed, "What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you like the Queen before?" Cheng Ze Rui warned himself not to blame him. After all, he was the one who spoke later. However, waves of sourness surged in his heart and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.
"When did I ever like the Queen? I used to like His Majesty, okay?" Ning Yin said it smoothly, but it was a little awkward when he said it, "That's all in the past."
"You like His Majesty?!" This time it was Cheng Ze Rui's turn to be surprised, "Isn't it the Queen?"
"No," Ning Yin looked at him and said, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
"You once asked me about the Queen," Cheng Ze Rui recalled, "So you liked the Crown Prince then, so why didn't you marry him?"
"They are deeply in love. Am I the kind of person who interferes in your heart?" Ning Yin said.
Pregnant men are prone to bad moods. Cheng Ze Rui replied: "Of course not, you are the best in my heart."
"It all comes down to these few words..." Ning Yin looked at him and smiled suddenly, "But I love to hear them. You don't have to worry about it. Since I'm marrying you and willing to bear children for you, it's natural that I have you in my heart. The past is like a mirage, a beautiful dream. I may still remember the scenes of the dream, but I will only hold on to the person in front of me."
He knew he should cherish the people around him before he got married. He never thought about it when His Majesty was a man, and he would not do that now.
"I'm sorry." Cheng Ze Rui shook his hand and said, "I won't talk about that again."
"General, you should be jealous. It's rare to see you lose your composure. It's quite novel. Just think of it as entertaining your parents with colorful clothes." Ning Yin said with a smile.
"It's worth being jealous if I can make my wife smile." Cheng Ze Rui said.
In view of the current Queen's bold words, time passed until His Majesty's mourning period ended, and the selection of concubines never began. The court officials only dared to say that the Queen had no children. Whenever this happened, His Majesty would hold her belly and say, "It's my belly that is not doing well."
If it were a concubine, there would be seven grounds for divorce, but the fact that His Majesty could not give birth to a child left the court officials speechless.
In the second year after the mourning period ended, when Emperor Yongsheng adopted a son from the royal family and handed him over to the Empress to raise, the court officials more or less knew that His Majesty might not want to have children.
There are rumors that His Majesty and the Queen are not that deeply in love. After all, the Queen has given up a lot for His Majesty, but His Majesty is unwilling to give birth to a child for him.
"I certainly want to bear a child for him." Xiao Tang stood by the window, looking at Lin Su who was teaching the young prince to read under the shade of a tree, and said, "But if I have a child, it will inevitably take his attention away."
The chief eunuch did not understand love, but he asked, "But the little prince will also share it."
"That's different." Xiao Tang looked outside and saw that the person who seemed to be teaching seriously looked over. He immediately stood up and told the palace servants to look after the prince, then walked towards the window.
Lin Su, who was also bored, gave a few pointers. When he came over, he looked at the people by the window and said, "Is the meeting over?"
"Yes." Xiao Tang stretched out his arms, and Lin Su directly carried him out of the window and said, "Your Majesty is getting lazier now."
"When the day comes when I am too lazy to do anything, I will stay in your arms all day long." Xiao Tang stood firm and said with a smile.
"It's my honor." Lin Su said with a smile.
The little prince, who was studying seriously, stole a few glances over here. Lin Su pulled Xiao Tang over and gave him some advice together. However, the seat next to Lin Su was firmly occupied by Xiao Tang. Even though there was envy in the little prince's eyes, he had no intention of giving up his position.
If he were his own son, he would always have to give in to him a little. If he were his own son, he would be reluctant to let him ascend to the throne. This position is very lonely. Everyone envies this position, but they don’t know how long Xiao Tang can hold on alone without this person’s company.
But when the little guy's parents sent him here, it was already destined that he would sit in this position.
Xiao Tang looked into those round eyes, patted his head and asked, "Yuan'er, do you want to be emperor in the future?"
"Yes!" the little prince clenched his fists and said, "I want to be an emperor as powerful as my father."
"Then you have to study hard." Xiao Tang said with a smile.
Although he is not his biological son, he has this ambition, and as he grows up, he will naturally take on the responsibility of being a father.
"Yes, father." The little prince said seriously.
Light and shadow flicker under the shade of the trees, and the years are quiet and peaceful, even after many years, it remains the same.
