Now all the mysteries have finally been solved. The reason why Qin Yun grew up safely in the deep palace without any ill intentions was entirely because Qin Ji helped him in secret.
Things that Wan Ge couldn't understand before now make perfect sense.
…
Half a year after they settled in Jiangnan, it is said that the second prince and the fifth prince joined forces to rebel. However, not long after, the crown prince led troops to suppress the rebellion. The emperor was not seriously injured, but he still aged overnight.
Therefore, the emperor chose to relinquish his power, abdicate, and become the retired emperor.
A month after the new emperor ascended the throne, he appeared again at the gate of their mansion.
The people were curious about what was going on, and after inquiring, they learned that the new emperor was asking to marry Jiang Ning, the adopted sister of the Princess of Xiaoyao.
The emperor's wife, also known as the empress.
Now the new emperor holds military power, and more than half of the court officials are his people. With such power in his hands, he has no need to win over other powerful families.
Moreover, the Jiang family is currently enjoying immense prestige, and although Jiang Ning is only the princess's adopted sister, she is nominally a member of the Jiang family, so it's not impossible.
When the other party proposed to her, Wan Ge was not surprised at all. During the six months they lived in Jiangnan, Qin Yun, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, came several times. On the surface, he was discussing matters with the prince, but in reality, Qin Yun came to see Xiao Ning.
Wan Ge was naturally happy to arrange this marriage, since she had intended to play matchmaker from the beginning. She only chose to observe rather than actively try to matchmake because she saw the other party take the initiative.
It must be said that Qin Yun was quite courageous to marry her as his empress. To be honest, even if Qin Yun lived in this era, even if he became emperor, Wan Ge had a feeling that he would only love Xiao Ning.
…
After Xiao Ning left, Wan Ge could clearly feel that it was much quieter around her.
But... Wan Ge gently twirled the silver hair in front of her with her fingertips, nestled in the other's arms.
Qin Ji looked up at the starry sky, surrounded by the chirping of cicadas, and slowly spoke to the person beside him: "Do you know? I am not some auspicious reincarnation. My silver hair is because my mother accidentally drank poison. Thanks to the treatment of a divine physician, both my mother and I survived. However, the divine physician said that there might be something unusual about me after I was born."
At that time, the former abbot of Yunguang Temple owed my great-grandfather a favor, so my grandfather knelt down before the former abbot and begged him to spare my life.
Children born with unusual features or disabilities are usually killed to prevent scandals from reaching the public's ears.
Back then, his mother was poisoned and was extremely old. The miracle doctor told her that if she couldn't save this child, she would never be able to have another child.
His mother went to see his maternal grandfather for the sake of this only bloodline. That's how the auspicious omen came about.
"I'm not some auspicious omen, just an ordinary person whose hair turned white after being poisoned. Aren't you disappointed?"
No, no matter what you are like, I only like you.
Wan Ge hadn't expected it to be like this; she was wondering how such a world could have such an auspicious omen.
Qin Ji continued, "My grandfather had a master of celestial divination by his side, who was extremely skilled at observing the stars and the moon. The so-called auspicious signs, such as the birds blooming together, were deliberately created by my grandfather, and the sweet dew falling from the sky was calculated by the celestial divination master."
