Chapter 26 The Dead General Returns 8
But he couldn't do anything to her, so he could only run out of the palace every day from now on.
Now he's learned his lesson. When tasks are delegated, the six ministries and the cabinet are all busy. They handle a portion of the memorials, and he only needs to deal with the remaining small, important ones. He no longer has to review memorials until late at night every day.
The rest of the time was spent climbing walls!
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Talking about it will only make me angry.
Ning Yan got up and plopped down in the man's lap, hooking her arms around his neck. "Isn't that right? With our relationship, we should enjoy ourselves while we can, and think about anything else is unnecessary."
Yuan Jingchen thought to himself: You may not want to, but I do. No newborns have been born in the palace in recent years. He previously had a total of three princes and two princesses.
The eldest prince is frail. He is nine years old and doesn't even dare to ride a horse. He's like a porcelain doll; he might break if you're not careful.
The second prince was seven years old. He had a high fever when he was young. After the fever subsided, he became a little slow to react. He wasn't stupid, but in the royal family, that was no different from being a fool.
The third prince is 5 years old. His mother, because of her humble background, is very cautious in the palace, and the children she raises are timid as mice. If he relies on these three, his Great Jin Kingdom will be doomed sooner or later.
On the contrary, his son with Ning Yan was already extraordinary when he was only two or three years old. Every time the Grand Tutor reported to him, he praised the child to the skies, saying that he would definitely have no problem inheriting the throne in the future.
But this woman refuses to enter the palace no matter what, so how can he make Xun'er the crown prince?
We can't possibly adopt him into the household of the General of the Fierce Cavalry, can we?
worry!
In the days that followed, Ning Yan made a point of hanging around the old lady and Cheng Shaowu, telling them gossip from the outside world.
For example, "The romantic affair between the General of the Cavalry and his concubine".
"A Few Things About General Cheng Being Cuckolded by His Concubine"
"The General of the Cavalry was given a drug that would prevent him from having children."
Some people say that his current predicament is retribution.
Who told him to say "one love for life" when he proposed to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family? The whole city knew about it.
These incidents, one after another, really infuriated the mother and son.
Finally, the old lady fainted from anger once again. After the imperial physician revived her with acupuncture, Ning Yan told her about Cheng Xun's background. "You are so lucky. You are just a country bumpkin. One day, the emperor's son called you 'grandmother.' You can rest in peace in the afterlife."
"You, you...you bastard!"
She closed her eyes in peace? What eyes could she close? She's married and has no descendants!
What sins did their family commit to deserve this? How come all of their son's women have cheated on him?
As a result, the old lady, who had just woken up, was so angry that she died!
Just as the old lady died and the mourning hall was set up, Cheng Shaowu, who had been paralyzed for several months, also passed away. However, he did not die from excessive grief, but choked to death on a piece of tofu while eating!
Well, it could also have been scalded to death; anyway, it died from eating tofu.
So, before the old lady's funeral was even over, Cheng Shaowu's coffin was placed in the mourning hall.
As the old lady's only grandson, Cheng Shaowu's only son was unable to return because he was taken by his master to study abroad. Seven days later, the mother and son were buried together, and Ning Yan finally became a widow.
Yuan Jingchen came again that evening.
"Yanyan, please have another child for me."
While working, Yuan Jingchen quietly slipped a pillow under Ning Yan's bottom.
The two were not very old; Yuan Jingchen was 28 and Ning Yan was 21. In modern times, this is the perfect age to have children, and of course, in ancient times, this age would also be just right.
Suddenly stopping, Ning Yan pinched his waist in annoyance, "What's wrong with you now?"
Yuan Jingchen said aggrievedly, "Xun'er said he only wants to inherit the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and doesn't want to be the crown prince. Give me another child, otherwise there will be no one to inherit the throne. When will I be able to abdicate and elope with you?"
Ning Yan: You are the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty! Listen to what you're saying. Is this normal? What do you mean by eloping with her?
"Are all those women in your palace just for show, if you want them to bear you children?"
If it weren't to infuriate that guy surnamed Cheng, she wouldn't want to have any children at all.
Trying to trick her into having another child? No way.
"You heartless bastard! Ever since you took my virginity, I haven't touched another woman. They were just decorations!"
Ning Yan glared at him. "Men's words are deceitful. Who would believe what you're saying?"
"If you don't believe me, you can monitor me. I don't mind having you by my side every day."
The thought of being able to be with Yan Yan every day made it hard for the Emperor to suppress the corners of his mouth.
"What are you dreaming about? I won't fall for your tricks."
Don't bother trying to impress me. If you're so capable, try it on your son. He'll be five years old soon. With his intelligence, if you train him for another ten years, he'll be able to take over your job.
You can have another one, but that would take at least five more years, and even then, the child might not have Xun'er's intelligence. So, my Emperor, if you want to elope with me, you'd better settle things with your son sooner rather than later.
Yuan Jingchen has been running around outside the palace for the past few years. He really feels that the palace is not as comfortable as the outside world, so it's understandable why she doesn't want to enter the palace.
They can do whatever they want as they please, so why bother going into that wolf's den of the harem and scheming against each other all day?
"Okay, I'll go and take care of Xun'er, but you have to promise me one thing."
"you say."
Yuan Jingchen took a deep breath of Ning Yan's fair and tender skin before saying, "Come to the palace to spend a few days with me every month."
Ning Yan's eyes lit up. "Okay."
Yuan Jingchen was delighted and became even more enthusiastic in serving him that night.
The next day, before dawn, Ning Yan was dressed in a eunuch's uniform and carried out of the house. The carriage swayed and swayed until they entered the palace, but she still couldn't wake up.
Yuan Jingchen specially ordered Qian Fu to serve outside the palace, while he himself took Qian Fu's apprentice to court.
During the morning court session, the officials clearly sensed that the emperor was in a particularly good mood. Even when the officials almost came to blows in the hall, he didn't say anything and even had the eunuchs serve tea to the arguing elders.
Okay, let them finish drinking before they start arguing.
I never realized before, but watching older people argue can be quite interesting.
After the court session, the emperor went straight to his bedchamber, where "Little Ningzi" was fast asleep.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Yuan Jingchen couldn't resist and lifted the blanket to crawl inside.
Going to the general's mansion, to the temple, and to his dragon bed, the feeling is completely different.
After all, this place was entirely his territory, and the person in the bed belonged entirely to him.
After the passion subsided, he held the person in his arms and slept on the bed for half an hour before having breakfast in his arms and then starting to review the memorials.
As he was writing, Ning Yan, the little eunuch who was grinding ink, sat on the man's lap. Yuan Jingchen sighed for the umpteenth time, wondering how there could be such a wonderful person as Ning Yan in this world. He had only been with her once, but she had made him feel as if he had been poisoned and was completely out of control.
If you can't control it, then you'll succumb!
So he sank in again.
In the evening, Ning Yan insisted on leaving the palace. She couldn't even endure one day of her original plan to enter the palace for seven days each month.
This man is too much of a troublemaker; if she stays for seven days, she's afraid he'll drive her crazy.
Yuan Jingchen pleaded and begged, and after signing numerous unequal treaties, Ning Yan reluctantly agreed to stay for two more days. Once the three days were up, she left the palace.
As a result, she was really badly punished over those three days!
After more than half a year of this, news came from the palace that the emperor had bestowed a new title upon Consort Ning. It was said that Consort Ning had saved the emperor's life before, and the two had a child who was over four years old, namely the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was taken in and taught by the emperor, while Consort Ning never left her own courtyard.
I've never seen any of the other concubines.
Some of the imperial concubines even doubted whether this Consort Ning actually existed.
Ten years later, the Emperor passed the throne to his fourth son, Yuan Zhao. Since the Empress had passed away years earlier, Consort Ning became the Empress Dowager.
Another year passed, and the retired emperor finally relinquished all control, taking the retired empress dowager on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
Thank you for the 500 Qidian coins you gave me!
