Chapter 191 She is her own monument
Even if the Prince of Yan cut off his own flesh to serve the emperor, the emperor's prejudice would probably be difficult to overcome.
The more attentive the Prince of Yan was, the more he felt that he had other intentions.
Because the emperor had already formed a preconceived notion that his other sons, especially those older than the crown prince, all wanted to seize the throne from the crown prince.
What's more, a man's love will extend to everyone in the house, such as his love for the late queen and the crown prince.
Similarly, a man’s hatred will also “involve nine generations of the family,” such as his hatred towards the King of Yan’s mother and the King of Yan.
Empathy and sympathy are abilities that women seem to be born with, but not all men have them.
They pay more attention to their own feelings, have clearer likes and dislikes, and are more selfish.
When it comes to being a father, I cannot go against my conscience and say that the emperor is a good father.
At least to King Yan, he is not.
Even if Prince Yan escapes unscathed from this trip to the capital, the Emperor will be even more wary of him.
The result of being on guard is that it is easy to dig up old accounts - he used to have a good relationship with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was the person left by the emperor for the prince.
So at this moment, he felt that Prince Yan was ready to make a move, so he would not easily involve Xiao Yan and would not give him power.
This is his protection for the prince, and in a sense, it is also his protection for Xiao Yan.
The person he likes cannot be involved in the fight for the throne.
Xiao Yan understood all of this.
But I didn’t expect that Daya could also think of this.
"Zhao Zhao, is it true that some people are born knowing it?"
"Maybe, but Dad, I'm not." Daya said frankly, "A lot of the principles of dealing with people were taught to me by Mom. For example, the issue of favoritism, in fact, not to mention the royal family, isn't it common around us?"
The favored children become fearless and end up falling into depravity.
And those children who have no expectations are busy running around for the approval of others.
You may succeed, but the inner loss will stay with you for the rest of your life.
In fact, Lu Qiniang has talked about these principles.
Daya felt that at most she was just applying it flexibly.
"My mother has never been educated, but she is sensible," Daya said softly. "If there are any good qualities in us sisters, they were all taught to us by our mother."
All education actually has traces to follow.
Reading can enlighten people, and the essence of life can also be extracted by those who are interested.
"Your mother is very, very good." Whenever Xiao Yan mentioned Lu Qin's mother, there was a smile on his face. "I have never seen a better woman than her."
"People will only think that my mother is marrying above her station."
"But I know," Xiao Yan sighed with a wry smile, "I am dispensable to her."
Lu Qinniang never expressed her desire to stay with him forever.
"Yes." Daya said, "I'll tell you the truth, my mother has always felt that you two are a fake couple and that being together is just a temporary solution."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Yan actually thought so in his heart.
But now, after hearing Daya say it so bluntly, he still felt a little depressed, so much so that there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone of voice.
It was as if he wanted to prove that Lu Qiniang still had him in her heart.
"Because my mother told me privately," Daya said with a smile, "She thinks you and Miss Jiang are a perfect match. She also said that you two are like a golden boy and a jade girl, and it would be against the will of heaven if you two don't stay together before you're married."
Xiao Yan: Okay, stop talking, he’s already feeling depressed.
Daya was less understanding today and continued, "But my mother never made any hasty arrangements for the Fifth Young Master's marriage. This is because my mother felt that since she didn't accept the Fifth Young Master's feelings, she shouldn't have any say in his marriage. This was to avoid suspicion."
Xiao Yan understood.
She was busy arranging things for him because she didn't have him in her heart at all, and she didn't even know that she had her in her heart.
Okay, it hurts, I can’t listen to another word.
"Dad, time will tell." Daya encouraged Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan said "hmm".
Thanks to Daya's reminder, he realized once again that he was an insignificant person in Lu Qiniang's heart.
In fact, he always knew it in his heart.
In their relationship, he was the one who fell in love first and had already lost miserably and willingly.
He thought about it, worried about it, and tried hard.
But Lu Qiniang is too independent.
She is not like most women in the world who have demands on men and hope to be tied to men and to be honored by their husbands.
She didn't.
She is her own monument.
What about Zhang Heyao, the Fifth Young Master...that's just the beginning, not the end.
Women like to say that men in the world are fickle, they are attracted by beauty, like thin waists and love beautiful women.
But it's not like that.
Men also love souls. Even if the proportion is not high, there are many excellent and discerning men in the world.
The uneasiness in Xiao Yan's heart never disappeared.
Lu Qiniang felt that she deserved nothing, but what Xiao Yan was thinking was, don’t come and compete with me.
The incident involving the Prince of Yan was just a small episode that soon passed.
Just as Daya expected, the story of Prince Yan going to the capital to cut off his own flesh to serve the emperor spread and was indeed praised by people inside and outside the court.
The emperor neither rewarded nor punished him, but simply asked him to return to Nanjing.
It just so happened that the prince was going south to inspect the grain transport on behalf of the emperor, so the two brothers decided to go together.
The day they set off, the dock was closed for another day.
Dozens of yellow boats were floating on the water, surrounding the most magnificent and luxurious one in the middle, and sailing southward.
Erya and Yunting took Sanya to watch the fun.
Of course, I didn’t dare get too close and could only look at it from a distance in the restaurant.
Of course, they were able to go to the restaurant because Shi Ping was there.
Lu Qiniang took advantage of this free day to help Daya make new bedding for her own use.
Of course, she couldn't do the embroidery work, so Daya did it herself.
"Mom, this material is good. Don't give it all to me. Leave some for Erya and Sanya." Daya said.
"How can that be? Jiang Xuan is secretly giving you money because he's afraid you'll suffer any harm. Of course, I have to use it. Otherwise, who would I be?" Lu Qiniang laughed. "When does he take a day off? I'll prepare something delicious."
She was a little worried before, thinking that Jiang Xuan would not smile and was very strict. She was worried about how Daya would get along with him in the future.
But since the engagement, she found that Jiang Xuan was thoughtful in everything, putting Daya first, and what was rare was that he spoke very little.
Lu Qiniang doesn't like men who talk too much.
What's the point of just talking and not doing anything?
People who are smooth talkers are rarely good people.
She likes people who are quiet, down-to-earth and hard-working.
The more people look at Jiang Xuan, the more they like him.
"I don't know either." Daya lowered her head, her earlobes red. "The last time he came, he said it wasn't good to rest all the time. He thought that in the winter, when we closed the stall, he would come and talk to my father, and even go hunting with him..."
"Tsk tsk, it's not certain who he will accompany!" Lu Qiniang laughed.
Daya's face became redder and redder.
Xiao Yan was chopping wood in the yard. He couldn't help laughing when he heard the mother and daughter talking and laughing.
He actually became Jiang Xuan's father-in-law, which is... pretty good.
"Abandoned mother, abandoned mother--" Song Yan's voice came from outside.
