Yan Yuning smiled politely and did not respond.
"Ningning," said the King as if coaxing a child, "You can't quarrel with Yu'er because of this. I have also told Yu'er that after Yu'er succeeds to the throne, your child with Yu'er will be the next King Xuan of Xuanzhao, and no one can surpass him."
Yan Yuning pinched her fingertips. In ancient times, from King Xuan's perspective, it was already quite good to be able to make such a promise to her.
But from her point of view, she couldn't accept it. If she was a person of this era, she might not think there was anything wrong with it, but she was not.
Xuan Yanyu is with someone else?
She couldn't even accept the thought!
"No, I will respect the Crown Prince's choice." Yan Yuning said in a calm voice.
She would not stop Xuan Yanyu's choice, but if he chose someone else, she would be tempted to leave him. She might... might not want the child in her belly, so just think of it as selfish.
In her eyes, choosing someone else means giving up on her and the baby.
King Xuan did not notice that Yan Yuning had changed her self-proclaimed name from "Erfei." to "I". He smiled and said, "Okay, Ningning, let's go. Follow your father to the storehouse to pick out a few treasures you like."
Yan Yuning smiled and refused, "No, I've received enough rewards, and I'm a little tired. I want to go back home and rest first."
"Okay, Father will have someone send you to the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Yan Yuning did not respond, but said, "Then I'll go first."
King Xuan nodded and smiled, "Okay."
The imperial curtain in front of the palace door was lifted by a maid, and the dazzling light shone on Yan Yuning, making her figure look even thinner. King Xuan averted his gaze and sighed.
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Feng said boldly, "The Crown Princess looks a little unhappy."
King Xuan raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't matter, her idea is too naive, sooner or later she will suffer, I am doing this for her own good."
Yu'er dotes on her now, but if he stops doting on her in one or two years, that would be the time for him to retaliate against her. How could she accept the sudden loss of his favor after such a few years? She might as well try to accept it now.
He never thought that Yu'er would always spoil her. He felt that was absolutely impossible.
——
Yan Yuning left the Xuanwang Palace without asking anyone to follow her. She walked alone on the long street, looking at the bustling scene on the street.
Suddenly she found herself in Xuan Zhao. No, whether it was Xuan Zhao or Qi Lan, she did not have a home of her own.
She misses her parents...
When I feel wronged, I miss my parents...
Yan Yuning's eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked down and saw the candy man in the child's hand. She suddenly wanted to buy one too. She touched her clothes and found that she didn't have any money...
"Greetings, Crown Princess." Pei Shuluo hesitated for a long time, but still stepped forward and greeted her.
Originally he wanted to pretend that he didn't see the Crown Princess, but then he thought that might not be a good idea, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally stepped forward and greeted her.
"Mr. Pei." Yan Yuning nodded politely.
Seeing Yan Yu Ning staring at the candy man, Pei Shuluo couldn't help but ask, "Does the Crown Princess want to eat it?"
Without waiting for Yan Yuning to speak, Pei Shuluo stepped forward, selected a phoenix candy man, and handed it to Yan Yuning with a smile, "Crown Princess, please accept it."
Yan Yuning was slightly stunned. The sugar man's eyes were dotted with small pearls, and its tail feathers were raised high. It was painted very delicately and was very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that Yan Yuning didn't take it, Pei Shuluo shrank back and wanted to take it away.
"Then I won't be polite to you." Yan Yuning smiled lightly, took the sugar man from Pei Shuluo's hand, and admired it in her palm.
"Crown Princess, you're welcome." Pei Shuluo smiled gently, "Crown Princess, is there anything you want to buy?"
