He nodded slowly, and his mother asked again: "Do you know that your mother has done me a favor?"
He was stunned, and his mother nodded at him: "Your mother has done me a favor. If you want to know why, I will tell you in detail when you are older. Now you just need to remember that she has done me a favor."
"At that time, she was seriously ill and asked me to come over and entrust you to me. At that time, there were only the two of us in the room. This was a tacit understanding between the two of us. If I didn't agree, it would be as if this matter had never happened, but I still agreed. Since I agreed, I will treat you as my own son, no different from any of my children. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, you are their eldest brother. What is yours, I will never let them fight with you."
Being able to say such words, my mother really did it to the end.
If he continues to be suspicious and begins to doubt his mother just because of a few words from the palace maids, he will not be worthy of being a son.
As time went by, he also figured out something. How could it be such a coincidence that everyone was away? How could it be such a coincidence that he could hear the whole cause and effect by accident?
If you think about it carefully, many things actually don't stand up to scrutiny.
Afterwards, the mother and son joined forces and put on several good shows.
Later, when his mother gave birth to a little sister, his last bit of worry disappeared and he really treated Yue'er as his own sister.
The chubby little ball was born on August 15th. She looked like a little moon, surprisingly bright and pretty. Her hair was especially fine when she was born. She had the same big eyes as her mother, blinking from time to time. She was so adorable that it would melt your heart.
...
...
When she was almost one year old, she could already make a vague sound of "brother". She chewed her little fist every day. When she saw him, she drooled and shouted "Shame! Shame!" at him. She also stuffed her little fist into his mouth and asked him to eat it, as if it was a great thing. The father was a little jealous and repeatedly asked her "Why didn't Yue'er let you eat it?"
That little dumpling was truly the sweetest thing in his childhood.
He always remembers that day.
The next day was her first birthday, and he studied very hard, hoping to win the jade ruler for her, so that he could give her a lucky number for the Lucky Draw...
Then the nurse came in crying, knelt down and said to him: "Your Highness, Princess Yue'er is not well..."
He rushed to Yonghe Palace and saw his mother hugging the little body and crying until she fainted.
It has been more than ten years in a flash, and when I think about it again, I still feel sad.
The prince took a long breath, threw away the book, and stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back. After a while, someone came up to him and called him, "Brother."
When the prince turned around, it was Yan Tingyue, so he nodded and said gently: "Tingyue came to see the queen?"
Yan Tingyue smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Hui gave me this hairpin. Is it pretty?"
The prince glanced at her, nodded, and couldn't help but look at her again.
The fourteen-year-old girl has bright eyes, white teeth and a graceful figure.
Yan Tingyue was famous for her beauty among the girls in the capital. She did look somewhat similar to the Imperial Noble Consort, except for her big eyes, which were bright and lively when viewed alone, but compared with the Imperial Noble Consort...she definitely did not have that kind of "charming look in the corners of her eyes" and that clear and radiant charm.
Not even as good as Tang Shiyue!
When the prince thought of this, he could not help but put his hand on his forehead, thinking that he was really possessed by a demon. He had held Yue'er's corpse in his arms with his own hands. Besides, even if Yue'er was still alive, she would be nearly twenty years old now. No matter how old Tang Shiyue was, she could not be more than thirteen or fourteen years old.
It's just that people are similar.
He nodded, "Go back early," and walked away sideways.
Yan Tingyue was used to young men losing their minds in front of her, but she didn't expect the usually calm prince to be like this. She pouted coquettishly, "Brother Prince, you are such a fool! You stare at me so hard!"
The maidservant beside her hurriedly said respectfully: "Young lady, you are so pretty! I often get distracted by you!"
Yan Tingyue raised the corner of her mouth: "You are so sweet!"
The maid looked at her face and said, "This hairpin is really beautiful. If those young ladies see it, they will definitely be envious."
Yan Tingyue was also somewhat proud, and touched the magnificent hairpin, saying: "What a pity, I have to go to Qinzhou, I can only open these people's eyes when I come back."
The maid was stunned: "Young lady, are you really going to Qinzhou?
"Of course," she lifted her skirt and walked forward: "Grandma agreed, Aunt Hui also agreed, I will go to Qinzhou, I want to see what Qinzhou has that can attract Meng Mei so much that he would not want to leave... Humph!"
She left angrily.
The palace maid standing in the corridor couldn't help but look sideways.
Although the Imperial Noble Consort dotes on her, she is, after all, just a distant relative. She calls her "Aunt Hui" so bluntly and rudely, and calls the Crown Prince "Brother", and her manners are so crude... I don't know whether to say she is bold or frivolous.
A young palace maid couldn't help but whispered, "What a short-sighted person! Every time you turn around, your eyes are always staring at these pearls and jade jewelry!"
"It's not that he's short-sighted, it's that he has the temperament of a bandit. Every time someone acts like a spoiled child, he has to snatch a few things from them, regardless of whether they are suitable or not!"
The head maid Linlang came out and said, "Shut up! You all learned the rules in vain!"
"Aunt Linlang," the maid Luyu whispered, "I just feel sorry for the queen. She has coaxed away so many of the good things the queen has obtained over the years!"
Linlang scolded in a low voice: "I want you to keep talking!"
She paused, and couldn't help but sigh: "My lady, it's just a thought in my heart."
At this time, in Prince An’s Mansion.
Yan Chengyuan and his adopted son Yan Liangchou were sitting and standing respectively.
Yan Chengyuan is the second son of Prince An and the cousin of the current emperor. He is now the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards and in charge of the six armies of the Northern Yamen. He is favored by the emperor.
He was a serious person, and he only warned calmly: "Qinzhou today is different from the past. Since the smallpox vaccination incident, we have always been in the eyes of the emperor, and we must be cautious and low-key in our actions. In addition, Enfu County Lady's wind-healing wine cured your grandfather. We are grateful for her kindness. When you go there, you must go to thank her..."
Yan Liangchou agreed to all of them, and added: "Tingyue said she wanted to go with me... Grandmother has already agreed."
Yan Chengyuan frowned, didn't say much, just waved his hand to show that he was casual.
Now the emperor is about to visit the northwest, but if the emperor has not issued an order in one day, he will not speak out, so he said, "Go down."
Yan Liangchou bowed and left.
Less than three days after the two men left Chang'an, the court issued a clear decree that the emperor would soon tour the northwest and ordered the crown prince to govern the country.
This was the first time that the crown prince served as regent. Of course, Emperor Mingyan seldom left the capital.
Emperor Ming Yan reigned for nearly twenty years. When the Huo family was guarding the Northwest Pass, Emperor Ming Yan toured the northwest twice, but since the Huo family fell, he never went there again.
Many people believe that this inspection is mostly aimed at Qinzhou.
After all, in the past few months, Qinzhou has been dealing with smallpox vaccinations, cement, and the "wind-healing wine" that only high-ranking officials know about. There have been a lot of things going on, and the emperor will definitely go to take a look.
