Chapter 290 The Crown Prince Ascends the Throne
It took three months, and in the spring of the following year, the prince's coronation ceremony was completed.
Chen Jingyan was also preparing to return to Mobei. He now truly held the real power, but he was still respectful to the prince, the little emperor.
The little prince had no idea what his cousin meant. For three to five years, the little emperor dared not do anything. The only thing he could do was sit in the court and listen to the words of the civil servants.
Chen Jingyan has now transformed himself into the most honorable person in Kyoto City, second only to the emperor.
But this time, he deserved it.
Why is it him?
He assisted Emperor Showa and the young emperor, both father and son.
Not only did the little emperor not dare to speak, even Empress Dowager Chen and the Queen did not dare to say much to Chen Jingyan.
Fortunately, everything Chen Jingyan did was for the benefit of the Great Zhou. If it were someone else, who knows what would have happened.
Before leaving Kyoto, Zhao Xuan specially organized a party and invited Pang Zheng, Prince Mingyu, and several officials who had helped Chen Jingyan before to sit together and have a reunion.
After three rounds of drinking, a civil servant named Hu came.
He boldly said, "Your Majesty is truly magnanimous. After assisting the late Emperor, he now assists the current Emperor Taikang. If you ask me, Your Majesty is capable of taking the throne."
"Master Hu is drunk."
"You can only say this once. If you say it again, I won't care if the emperor punishes you in the future."
Chen Jingyan frowned. What Lord Hu said was for him, but Chen Jingyan couldn't bear to hear it.
Because he had no intention of that position.
He signed an agreement with the little prince, which he proposed on his own initiative. The little emperor was young and his thoughts were not that deep, so Chen Jingyan still wanted to have a better relationship with him.
Emperor Taikang held the agreement and said to Chen Jingyan, "Of course I trust my cousin."
He said that he would never follow the path his father had taken.
As for what path, Chen Jingyan knew it clearly. It meant that the old emperor was afraid of Chen Jingyan's power and deliberately recalled him and put him in prison.
Otherwise, Chen Jingyan would not have deliberately avoided Emperor Showa when he wanted to see him the most.
What did Emperor Showa want to say? To defend himself?
Chen Jingyan didn't want to listen.
Or was it that he wanted to eliminate him for his son before he died of illness? These were all possible, and Chen Jingyan had to be on guard.
After the others left, only Zhao Xuan and Chen Jingyan were left in the room. They talked about some things in their private lives.
Lu Yu is about to marry Mai Dong.
The date for their wedding was originally set, but Emperor Showa passed away, so their marriage had to be put on hold.
I was thinking of waiting a year, that is, in the twelfth month of next year, before getting married.
By then, Yunqiao can also bring her child back.
"...To be honest, I also have a son."
Chen Jingyan was so surprised that he forgot to put down the wine glass in his hand.
"When was she born?"
"Just a few days ago, I received news that both mother and child are safe. The child is a little thin, weighing only six pounds. I was originally thinking of going to North City to see them, but with the new emperor ascending the throne, many things are happening every day, so I'm afraid I won't have time even if I wanted to go."
Hearing what he said made me interested.
"If you like a girl, just marry her. You can't let him be a bastard after the child is born."
Chen Jingyan now has a wife and four children, so naturally he values family more than before.
Zhao Xuan sighed and poured himself another glass of wine.
"I would like to, but they don't want to."
Chen Jingyan didn't care who that person was. He just felt that Zhao Xuan, who still had to suffer in love at this age, was so miserable that it made people happy. He even wanted to go back to Mobei to tell Yun Qiao.
But when he thought of his daughter, Chen Jingyan felt depressed again.
Now that things have come to this, we can only take care of the child slowly and hope that one day the child will get better on his own.
Zhao Xuan also told Chen Jingyan about his inner distress.
Chen Jingyan looked at him and said, "You are drunk."
Call someone to send Lord Zhao back.
Then Chen Jingyan also left the restaurant and drove towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Li Yuan had prepared dinner long ago. Gu Heng and Mai Dong had both returned, but they didn't know that Chen Jingyan had gone out for a drink today. They had wanted to have dinner together when he returned, but Chen Jingyan said, let them eat.
Li Yuan saw that Chen Jingyan's face looked amiss.
"My Lord, what happened? Is it in the palace?"
Li Yuan cares about everything in the Marquis' Mansion.
"There's nothing going on in the palace. I'm just thinking about things in Mobei."
Chen Jingyan didn't say anything more, but Gu Heng stood up and walked over, "Sanlang, you look tired, go and rest first."
"Second brother, I will return to Mobei in two days. I will still leave the family affairs to you."
"Sanlang, are you so anxious? How about I go to Mobei with you? What's the matter with Nian Nian's illness? I know medicine and I might be able to help."
"What's wrong with Nian Nian?" Mai Dong, who was unaware of the situation, suddenly asked.
Gu Heng didn't say anything, and Chen Jingyan didn't say anything either. He just left on his own.
Only after Chen Jingyan left did Gu Heng tell Li Yuan and Mai Dong.
"It's like she became stupid overnight. I was worried that someone had poisoned Nian Nian. But Sanlang said that wasn't the case. We found many doctors and examined the child. She's still stupid and dazed. She only remembers her mother. She doesn't remember her father or brother."
Maidong was very worried.
"How could this happen?"
How could Nian Nian, such a smart child, become a fool?
Maidong simply couldn't imagine how sad his brother, who had always loved his daughter, must be to see his daughter become like this.
"Second brother, you should go to Mobei. I'm at home. I will take good care of your second sister-in-law and Chen Yang."
Li Yuan also said anxiously: "Chen Yang and I are fine, we don't need you to take care of us."
"Second Master, you are going to Mobei with the Marquis this time. Maidong, you can do whatever you need to do. I can take care of the household affairs."
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether Gu Heng is there or not.
The feeling of going to Mobei by myself and having my wife tell me to go to Mobei is different.
Seeing that Maidong was there, Gu Heng didn't say much.
After dinner was over, the two walked towards Chunhui Garden. Chen Yang went back to write big characters, and Li Yuan told him not to write too late and to go to bed early.
Chen Yang looked at his mother and then at his father.
He suddenly didn't know who to listen to, because before his mother spoke, his father told him that he should study hard and become a pillar of society in the future, and not be like his father who only knew how to do business.
Chen Yang whispered, "Daddy said I have to finish writing three large pieces of characters before I can go to bed today."
Li Yuan, who is usually easy to talk to, appears very strong today.
"Listen to your mother, finish writing one and then go to bed. You are too young and the light is not good at night. It is easy to hurt your eyes."
Chen Yang glanced at his father.
Obviously, although Gu Heng is not often at home, his authority as a father is still there.
Gu Heng said softly, "Listen to your mother and go to bed after you finish writing one."
"Yes, father."
Li Yuan muttered to herself that the son she took care of day and night was now listening to his father. It turned out that this son was unreliable.
How she wanted to have a daughter.
Her son is also good, but only her daughter can chat with her, discuss dressing with her, and really feel sorry for her difficulties.
After Li Yuan finished talking to his son, he walked towards the house, and Gu Heng followed him. The maidservant below was smart. When she saw the Second Master and the Second Mistress returning to the house together, she went to bring hot water for washing.
Gu Heng saw that she looked unhappy and didn't know where he had offended her.
At first she was so happy about his existence, but after marriage, he didn't do anything, so why did she become unhappy?
"If there's anything, you can tell me. You always lose your temper for no reason, and I don't know what I did to provoke you."
Gu Heng felt that he had lowered his voice when speaking to her.
"Second Master, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I lost my temper for no reason? How did I lose my temper with you? I wouldn't dare to."
"Yuan Niang, look at you..." Gu Heng frowned.
"Why are you speaking so aggressively?"
"Yes, I am aggressive. If you don't like it, just go find someone else."
"Aster, Aster, come in and help me wash up..."
Li Yuan disliked Gu Heng more and more. She felt wronged and angry when she saw him, so she simply stopped talking and said nothing.
