Even though the original owner didn't enjoy it, that's enough to prove that they didn't really not love the original owner.
When Yan Nangui was about to leave, Yan Lingyun called out to her.
The wild geese fly south, turning back to face the sky.
Yan Lingyun stepped forward: "A few years ago, I had a dream."
Taking a deep breath, I dreamt... that you didn't enter the Crown Prince's residence. Instead, you were at the Meng family's... I came back later, but it was too late..."
"Father, let's forget the past." Yan Nangui smiled and said, "In the past, everyone made mistakes."
There's no need to forgive or hold a grudge.
Yan Lingyun sighed again: "Go on. I'll apologize to your mother after I go downstairs."
Yan Nangui gave him a few deep looks, then turned and left.
Yan Lingyun felt that something she couldn't hold onto had disappeared, but then she thought she was overthinking it.
In the seventh year of Jingcheng, ten more academies were added to the entire Dayan Dynasty.
A minimum subsidy was set up so that children from poor families could also go to school, and those who did well in their studies received rewards.
If you can really learn it well, it's not impossible to study for ten years without spending money.
Of course, in this case, the teachers' qualifications also need to be checked regularly.
Yan Nangui brought some modern concepts and spent several years popularizing them.
Fortunately, everyone is in favor of reading.
Of these ten colleges, five are for women, and the remaining five are open to both men and women.
By the tenth year of the Jingcheng era, there were already more than a dozen female officials in the court.
In various places, even minor officials and clerks often have many women.
That same year, the twenty-six-year-old Princess Zun became pregnant.
Inside the Beichen Palace, the princess of the Zun Kingdom, who had been knocked on the head, whined, "Mother..."
After Yan Nangui ascended the throne, he addressed her as "Mother Empress" in formal occasions, but as "Mother" in private.
"You bastard, bring that thing here!" Yan Nangui said.
Then he paused, "Is it Wei Huan?"
She wasn't entirely sure, but there were plenty of people who flattered the child all the time.
“Of course it is…” Bao’er muttered softly, “I’m not a fickle person.”
"Then why won't you marry him?" Yan Nangui poked her head.
"What's the rush? Have a child before the wedding. That way, the ministers won't have anything to say later."
"Mother, don't blame him, it was my initiative. He's very honest."
Wei Huan has now succeeded Zhang Shaoyang as the commander of the capital's infantry.
His mind was entirely focused on the Seventh Princess, so he had neither a wife nor a concubine, and the entire court knew about his relationship with the Seventh Princess.
“Willful,” Yan Nangui said.
“I’ve been emperor for ten years, and it’s about time I paved the way for you. Don’t you want to take over?” Yan Nangui said.
"Mother, I don't want to. You're doing just fine. You don't have any other children, otherwise it would be so nice for me to be a princess. Please, just be a princess for a few more years. I beg you," Bao'er pleaded.
“…I think you really do take after your father.” As Bao’er grew up, Yan Nangui really saw it.
This child is incredibly lazy when it comes to politics.
In terms of personality, they are exactly the same as Shu Chengfeng. Except for not looking as much like him as they did when they were young, they are exactly the same.
“Hehe, Father would be furious if he heard that. That’s why I’m having a child first. Once I have a child, I definitely won’t be so lazy. You’re still young, let’s wait another ten years,” Bao’er said.
Yan Nangui took a deep breath. If this thing weren't pregnant, she would have hit someone.
"Since she's pregnant, she should stay in the palace to rest and prepare for childbirth." She didn't think it was a big deal that her daughter was pregnant before marriage.
She is a princess of the Zun Kingdom, and all her children are legitimate offspring.
It doesn't matter who the child's father is.
Wei Huan never pressured him. Even if he got married, he wouldn't be able to see the princess every day anyway, so things were fine as they were. He knew he wouldn't have anyone else.
As for the Wei family, Wei Xiao also has a son.
After Wei Xiao learned of his thoughts, he didn't try to persuade him further.
As Bao'er's belly grew larger, some people in the court began to have objections.
In short, it's saying that her getting pregnant out of wedlock is bad, etc.
Yan Nangui rebuked him during the morning court session.
"All day long, you don't do any proper work, but stare at things you shouldn't be looking at. When the late emperor was alive, you were watching who the concubines and empress were in the harem. Now you're watching when the princess of your esteemed country will get married. Does it matter whether she gets married or not? She is of the Shu family bloodline, and the children she gives birth to will be the legitimate heirs of the royal family. What's the rush?"
One official mustered the courage to retort: "After all, premarital pregnancy is against etiquette."
"What kind of etiquette is this? I'm a second-time bride, how dare you say that to me?"
The official shrank back.
Then people started criticizing the official, saying that he had a bunch of wives and concubines, and many children who were constantly fighting. They said he had the nerve to meddle in these matters while causing chaos in his household.
In any case, officials in the imperial court sometimes argue with each other just like ordinary people in the marketplace.
The wording is exquisite, but the core message is all insults.
After ten months of pregnancy, Bao'er gave birth to her eldest son, accompanied by Wei Huan and Yan Nangui.
This young imperial grandson was naturally of the highest rank.
Unfortunately, Bao'er is a hands-off parent; she's family, but she doesn't know how to take care of her.
Yan Nangui was certainly not good at taking care of children, just like Bao'er was when she was little, so she had to rely on a wet nurse and maids to take care of her.
Bai Wei accepted the task.
After Yan Nangui became empress, Jiangxiang Yuanhua refused to marry.
Baihe got married, had a child, and then came back. Now she is the manager of the Imperial Household Department.
Bai Wei is the eldest aunt who serves in the imperial court.
Shuanzi was a high-ranking eunuch who served the outer court; nowadays, he is also addressed as "Sir."
Yunji was initially very indignant, but gradually he came to terms with it and stopped serving him.
However, he often stayed at the Imperial Ancestral Temple and also spent his retirement in the palace.
The benefits are excellent.
To be honest, I felt at ease having the old ministers watching over him over the past few years.
The late emperor's close confidants are all alive and well, and everyone feels that the thing around their necks is much stronger now.
