Chapter 383 She Wants Freedom
No matter what, what happened has happened.
She should cherish the present, cherish everyone around her, and live well.
I guess this is what our grandparents want.
In the front yard of the East Palace, a yard was specially reserved for Mo Yu to live in. However, he was not used to being served, so there were only palace servants in the yard, who were responsible for cleaning, etc.
Now, every time he has a day off, Mo Yu will come to the East Palace to visit his aunt and play with his younger brothers and sisters.
The former Lin Mansion has temporarily become a decoration.
However, Lin Qingning thought that Mo Yu was still young, and once he came of age and got married, he would naturally be able to support the Lin family.
During these years, let him stay in the East Palace more often during his rest time.
When Mo Yu was playing with his younger brother and sister, Aunt Chen came back.
Seeing Mo Yu there, she hesitated to speak.
Lin Qingning: "Aunt Chen, what's wrong?"
Aunt Chen: "My master asked me to find out about Banxia before, and I have some clues."
She looked at Mo Yu again.
Lin Qingning understood, "Just say it directly."
Teenagers from ordinary families also start to learn at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but Mo Yu's case is a little special. The abuse he suffered in childhood eventually affected his mind.
Now that the elders of the Lin family are all gone, Lin Qingning doesn't want to deliberately enlighten him.
But you can use other people's affairs to let him learn from them without leaving any trace.
In another two years, if you still don’t get it, consider other options.
Lin Qingning has great patience with Mo Yu.
Aunt Chen nodded and said, "Master, I went to ask around and found out that Chuan Gu and Zhu Feng both like Ban Xia. But Ban Xia herself doesn't want to get married."
Lin Qingning reacted and realized, yes, there is also Zhufeng.
Chuan Gu was the servant who took care of Qin Jingyu personally when he was still in the Duke's Mansion.
So many years have passed, and Chuan Gu has now become a manager in the outer courtyard of the Eastern Palace. He is steady, loyal and reliable.
Zhufeng is Qin Jingyu's close guard. Over the years, he has accompanied Jingyu through thick and thin many times and made many contributions.
Both are very good and loyal.
It depends on which one Banxia likes.
Lin Qingning: "Then please ask Aunt Chen more when you have time to see which one Banxia likes?"
"Of course, if she doesn't want to get married, let's see what the reason is."
If Pinellia doesn’t like any of them, then forget it.
When she meets someone she likes and is suitable for her, she will make the decision for Banxia.
Aunt Chen readily agreed.
"Princess Consort, you are so kind to us servants!"
Lin Qingning smiled slightly, "Because you are all very good."
Put yourself in other people's shoes, it's always like this.
**
As the end of the year approaches, we have achieved another great victory this year, so the whole capital is filled with a very joyful atmosphere.
The streets are prosperous and the restaurants and teahouses are also bustling.
The only drawback is that the army moves slowly and will not be able to get back before the New Year.
But Emperor Minghe had already been reading the military reports and preparing to reward everyone according to their merits.
When the army returns, this matter will be announced at the celebration banquet.
However, when it came to rewarding Duanmu Jin, Emperor Minghe stopped writing.
He asked someone to call Queen Jiang.
Emperor Minghe: "Empress, you usually have the best relationship with Concubine Jin. What do you think she wants most?"
Queen Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's freedom."
More than 20 years ago, for the sake of the clan members, I came to Da Chu to marry a princess.
But Duanmu Jin has never been happy.
Especially after she lost a child, her temper became more extreme. Later, she learned that her tribesmen wanted her to die tragically so as to start a war between the two countries...
At that moment, Duanmu Jin felt hopeless.
In comparison, the people of southern Xinjiang were really much gentler in that they just didn't want Nalan Zhu'er to give birth to a child with the Chu people.
Not only did the people of Xiliang never care about Duanmu Jin's life or death, they also treated her efforts as a joke.
This time she led the troops to attack southern Xinjiang, which also made southern Xinjiang hesitate about the alliance proposed by the Xiliang people.
It was this slight hesitation that played a very important role in the Chu's attack on southern Xinjiang.
After all, during a war, even a little bit of distrust is enough to shake the morale of the army.
Queen Jiang added: "Actually, she is the same person as Aya."
Emperor Minghe sighed, "But she is different from Aya. Aya entered the palace as a fake, and I always treated her as a junior."
Therefore, Emperor Minghe did not visit Chen Ya.
But Duanmu Jin was truly the woman of Emperor Minghe.
The two also had a child, although the child was not born successfully.
Queen Jiang hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Your Majesty, perhaps Concubine Jin wants freedom more than you do."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
No matter what, Emperor Minghe still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Queen, what do you want most in your heart?"
Queen Jiang: "I have two things in my mind. The first is that I hope my sister is still alive."
Hearing what Queen Jiang said, Emperor Minghe's eyes were moved.
If possible, he would rather sacrifice his own lifespan to let Nan Qing live longer.
Queen Jiang continued, "If my sister were still alive, I would not have entered the palace. Perhaps I would have married an ordinary official and lived a poor but peaceful and happy life."
Ming Hedi coughed lightly, "You haven't told me yet, what is the second thing?"
Queen Jiang: "Oh, the second thing is that I hope Jingyu, Qingning and their children are safe and happy. They have both suffered too much, and I hope their lives will be sweet in the future."
Emperor Minghe: "..."
Well, still no him.
The bitterness in my heart expanded.
He still couldn't help but ask, "Queen, do you regret entering the palace?"
Queen Jiang: "I don't regret it. After all, it was my sister who allowed me to enter the palace. She is definitely right."
"Moreover, if I had not entered the palace, I would not have been able to give birth to Jingyu. Of course, it was all because of my carelessness that I did not even know that Jingyu had been replaced..."
Emperor Minghe watched her eyes slowly turn red and sighed.
"Okay, stop talking."
A lonely man is indeed a lonely man.
When they returned to Kunning Palace, Qin Xin said helplessly: "Your Majesty, in fact, His Majesty just wants to hear some soft words and intimate words."
Queen Jiang shook her head. "I always speak the truth to Your Majesty. There is no need to be perfunctory at this time."
"If I'm perfunctory, he'll think I'm being hypocritical."
"He didn't give us his sincerity, so we naturally won't give him our sincerity either. This is the truth."
Not only Jin Fei, but also her.
Qin Xin was speechless for a moment.
Everyone thought that Queen Jiang had a good temper and a gentle personality, and that she had only gotten to where she is today because of her great luck.
But in fact, Queen Jiang is actually very insightful.
She was able to rise from a commoner to the position of queen today, and it was not just luck that counted.
Queen Jiang was already tidying up the child's clothes. She said cheerfully, "Speaking of which, I still want to thank your Majesty. You see, Jingyu is so good, and the wife Jingyu found is also good, and their children are also good."
"How good?"
Qin Xin and Qi Yi were originally the people sent by Qin Jingyu to be by Queen Jiang's side. After hearing what she said, they naturally would not refute.
Qin Xin smiled and said, "You are right, Madam!"
Queen Jiang smiled and said, "On New Year's Eve, Qing Ning is still in confinement after childbirth, so she definitely can't come to the palace. I plan to discuss this with His Majesty, or we can go to the East Palace to celebrate New Year's Eve!"
Due to the special circumstances this year, the army has not yet returned to the capital, and Prince Jing and others are still under house arrest.
Emperor Minghe has already said that this year's Spring Festival will be celebrated at home.
Queen Jiang didn't want to spend the New Year with Emperor Minghe, she wanted to go to the Eastern Palace.
"And you can't take the Queen Mother with you!"
Queen Jiang doesn't want that old woman to do something bad. What if she does something bad?
The next day, Queen Jiang told Emperor Minghe about this matter, and Emperor Minghe expressed his embarrassment.
"This may be her last year with us."
After the New Year, after interrogating Sun Fuhai, the Queen Mother would either be punished or sent to the royal temple.
The two sides have not yet completely torn their faces apart.
In fact, in his subconscious, Emperor Minghe still hoped that Empress Yuan’s death had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager.
As this man gets older, his heart softens unconsciously.
For example, he actually began to expect that Queen Jiang and Concubine Jin were all deeply in love with him.
The emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so Queen Jiang had no choice but to nod in agreement, but her face was full of disappointment.
Emperor Minghe couldn't bear it, and whispered, "On New Year's Eve, we will have a meal together at the Cining Palace at noon, and then go to the East Palace in the afternoon, and you can stay there at night."
Queen Jiang's eyes lit up again.
"good!"
Qin Jingyu and Lin Qingning also knew about Emperor Minghe's arrangements, which meant that they would not have to enter the palace on New Year's Eve.
Lin Qingning: "I'm still in confinement, why don't you come to the palace that day, Jingyu?"
Just had lunch there.
Qin Jingyu shook his head. "Father doesn't want to break up with the Queen Mother, but when I went to the war, the Queen Mother kept targeting you. I got angry, so naturally I didn't go to the palace."
Somewhat willful.
But Qin Jingyu has always been like this, not to mention that he really has the capital to be willful.
Lin Qingning didn't mention this matter again. She was happy to let Jing Yu accompany them and their children.
Talking about the New Year.
"This year is our first year in the Eastern Palace. Each family will send us gifts, and the return gifts will also be very particular."
Qin Jingyu held her hand and said, "Don't worry about these. Let Aunt Chen and the others sort them out. I'll take a look at them later."
"Now, take good care of yourself."
Lin Qingning: "How can I let you worry about the things in the backyard of the East Palace?"
Qin Jingyu: "You and I are husband and wife, this is our own business, how can it be considered as worrying about it?"
"In fact, I would rather bear a child for you, but I can't do that."
"I'll have to make it up to you somewhere else."
Lin Qingning suddenly remembered some strange story books that Jiamin had given her a few years ago.
There seems to be a similar incident.
She suddenly laughed.
Qin Jingyu: "A Ning, why are you laughing suddenly?"
