"What?"
Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "Together...what do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says." Ning An spoke out the secret hidden in his heart, and felt that all 36,000 pores in his body were refreshed!
"You guys..." Emperor Longqing hooked his two thumbs together.
"Yeah." Ning An nodded.
"What's his name? Tell me." Emperor Longqing looked at Ning An and said with a smile.
"What are you going to do?" Ning An looked at his brother warily, always feeling that his smile was a little creepy.
"What am I going to do?!" Emperor Longqing's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and he said angrily: "I want to kill him, no, castrate him!"
As he spoke, he pounded the table hard and cursed: "Where did this evil karma come from? How dare you seduce my sister and ruin my sister's reputation? Do you really think that I, the emperor, am a little bee that can be bullied by anyone?"
In his rage, he accidentally brought up shame, but it was too late to undo what had happened, so he could only mutter angrily.
“No matter how small a bee is, it can still sting!”
"Wuwu, you are so mean to me..." Ning An's eyes turned red and he started sobbing.
"Shouldn't I be fierce?" Long Qing's expression froze.
"When my father passed away, you said that as long as you were here, you would help me with anything..." Ning An cried even harder.
"Otherwise I wouldn't have told you! You liar brother..."
"Don't cry, don't cry." Long Qing looked at his sister crying and his heart softened immediately, but he still said with a straight face:
"Besides, I didn't say anything wrong about you. It's all your fault..."
"I was the one who pursued him relentlessly." Ning An said quietly.
"You?" Long Qing opened his mouth wide and pointed at his sister for a long time, but finally put his finger down and asked, "What do you want?"
"I only like this one person in my life. What do you think I want?" Ning An said with red eyes: "People who linger in the flowers will not understand."
"As a widow, isn't it a bit..." Long Qing said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Then Li He..."
"I never liked him. I was forced to do so by my father."
"Let's not talk about him. I remember that before you got married, you also had someone you loved, right?" Emperor Longqing said this, as if he was comparing his name to someone worse than him. "His name was Zhao something, and it seems a bit like Master Zhang's..."
"That's the one!" Ning An burst into laughter, her face full of happiness and said, "Sixteen years later, we are together again!"
"I object!" Longqing immediately slammed the table and said, "There is no princess in the Ming Dynasty who will remarry!"
"Just allow you men to remarry..." Ning An said with disdain.
"What's the point of you squeezing me?" Long Qing sighed, "Even if I agree to you, what's the point? Won't those civil officials be furious? Do you want to have another big ceremony debate?"
"A bunch of bastards..." The eldest princess gritted her teeth.
"Ah, I remember his name now!" Emperor Longqing suddenly slapped his forehead and said loudly: "His name is Zhao Shouzheng! That's right..."
"Yes, it is Zhao Lang!" Seeing that her brother had figured it out, the princess did not hide it anymore and said directly: "Brother, if you kill Zhao Lang, I will die immediately. If you separate us and don't let us meet again, I will become a nun and you will never see your own sister again in your life!"
"It's meaningless if you say that. You are my only sister..." Emperor Longqing couldn't help but mutter, "How can you not see your brother just for a sin? You are too cruel."
"You still want to kill my Zhao Lang, who is so cruel?" Ning An turned his head away in annoyance and threw out another trump card:
"If you don't stop us, I won't make things difficult for you regarding the Imperial Shop... I know the Imperial Concubine has been harassing you for a long time, so I can let her go."
"That karma is quite important in your heart." Emperor Longqing said jealously.
But he was indeed annoyed by Concubine Li. He was afraid that she would have a miscarriage, but he was too embarrassed to tell his sister about it. He was in a very difficult situation.
"I only want Zhao Lang. I'm willing to go to Xishan to dig coal together with him." The eldest princess clenched her fists and expressed her opinion.
"Ah..." Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then reluctantly opened them a little and said:
"I can only acquiesce at best, but I cannot allow you to be with him openly. This is the maximum concession I can make."
After a pause, the emperor said earnestly: "Since you and I are blessed by our ancestors, we must abide by their laws... at least not on the surface."
"You've already brought up our ancestors, what else can I say?" Ning An was overjoyed when she heard that. In fact, from the very beginning, this was all she wanted.
Let's leave this wish of living together in dignity and honor to the next generation.
"Okay." But her face showed that she had suffered a great injustice.
Long Qing sighed again, picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Ning An, saying:
"By the way, don't hand over all the royal property. I think it's better to let Caifeng's father manage the royal farm. You should still be in charge of the royal shops. What does a bricklayer like him know?"
The princess felt relieved after hearing this, knowing that her brother still loved her. But she had already made up her mind to do a favor to Concubine Li, so what was the point of giving half and keeping the other half?
"No need. If you really feel bad, just invest in Xishan Mining to avoid being criticized."
"Hehe, bribe me." Longqing smiled happily. Why did he like this sister? Besides being close to her, it was also because she always gave him money to spend.
When he was in Yu Mansion, Ning An helped him a lot. He didn't expect that after becoming emperor, he would still have to rely on his sister for support.
How can I not indulge her?
"All under heaven belongs to the king, how can that be called a bribe? That's called tribute." Ning An flattered him.
"Hahaha, well said!" Longqing said with great pleasure, "But you have already suffered a great loss by handing over all the imperial shops and farms. I can't take advantage of you any more."
"Well, let's just treat this as the royal family's business. But it doesn't need to be remitted to the imperial property ledger." He paused for a moment and said:
"This way, you can still use my name, but all profits and losses are yours."
"Royal brother..." Ning An shed tears again, but the difference was that this time it was joy and emotion that came from the bottom of her heart.
Although the first half of her life was miserable, she was loved by Zhao Lang and her brother in the second half, which was a happiness far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Also, please pay attention to me, don't, don't..." The emperor hesitated for a moment, and then coughed with a stern face and said, "You know, it will be impossible to hide it if you do that."
"Brother, what are you thinking?" The princess's face was burning. She glared at Longqing and said, "We are innocent."
"Haha, okay..." Longqing laughed dryly and thought to himself, yes, I'm not a lustful person.
However, talking about this topic with his sister was already extremely awkward, so he stopped talking and stood up, stretching himself and saying:
"Not bad, not bad. I have the money to recruit soldiers, and I have also explained to Caifeng that you have finally got what you wanted. It can be said that you have achieved the best of all worlds."
As he spoke, his face suddenly darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's just a bargain for that karma!"
Ning An stuck out her tongue. As long as her goal was achieved, how could she not let her brother vent his anger?
