Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei smiled with a hint of helplessness: "Eunuch Sun watched Prince Xuan grow up, how could he not know Prince Xuan's temperament?"
Although she didn't know whether Sun Jiasheng knew Xie Xuan's personality, nor how Sun Jiasheng would interpret it.
But she felt that there was no mistake in saying it that way.
As Yun Chuwei had expected, Sun Jiasheng fell silent.
Finally, he sighed and said, "That's right. Although His Highness Prince Xuan looks gentle and polite, he is the most stubborn."
Yun Chuwei added at the opportune moment, "Yes, it's not that I don't want to persuade him, but that I can't. I'm thinking that sending Prince Xuan to guard the border would be fine, it would help him relax. However, we'll need Eunuch Sun to take good care of His Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiasheng said helplessly, "This servant understands, this servant takes her leave!"
After saying this, he bowed to Yun Chuwei and then turned and left.
-
Yun Chuwei turned around and returned to the Xuanwang Mansion.
Xie Xuan saw her and asked, "What did Eunuch Sun say to you?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I just want to give you some advice!"
Xie Xuan moved a few steps closer to Yun Chuwei and whispered, "Then why didn't you try to persuade her?"
Yun Chuwei suddenly reached out and pinched Xie Xuan's chin, saying, "Did I not try to persuade him? Xie Xuan, I'll give you another chance. Say it again!"
Xie Xuan reached out and put his arm around Yun Chuwei, saying obediently, "Weiwei, I tried to persuade her, but I was too stubborn! Weiwei, please don't blame me, okay?"
Yun Chuwei loosened her grip on his chin, patted his cheek, and said, "Good boy!"
Xie Xuan bent down and picked her up, then whispered in Yun Chuwei's ear, "Weiwei, I've been so good, can you reward me?"
Yun Chuwei reached out and pinched his ear, then slowly asked, "What's the reward?"
Xie Xuan didn't reply, but carried the person to his room.
"What does Weiwei want as a reward?" After entering the room and closing the door, Xie Xuan placed her on the bed, pressed her down, and asked in a low voice.
"Xie Xuan, in broad daylight, you better get out of the way!" Yun Chuwei shoved him.
Xie Xuan didn't let her push him away. Instead, he leaned down, buried his head in her shoulder, and whispered, "Weiwei, please, okay?"
Yun Chuwei: ...
-
Xie Xuan clung to Yun Chuwei until they left the capital.
When Xie Xuan pleaded with her in a low voice, Yun Chuwei simply couldn't refuse. So she often indulged herself and followed her feelings.
On the day Xie Xuan left, Yun Chuwei escorted him to the outskirts of the city.
Only after watching Xie Xuan ride away did she return to her own carriage.
She hadn't expected Xie Xin to be in the carriage.
Her lips twitched slightly: "How did you get here?"
Xie Xin lay there leisurely, saying, "You have the nerve to say that? I've been wanting to see you these past few days. But what have you done? You've been hanging out with Xie Xuan every day, I haven't had a chance to see you at all!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
After Xie Xin finished speaking, he thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, this matter can't be blamed on you. It's all Xie Xuan's fault. He harasses you every day. When I went to see you, he even kicked me out!"
Yun Chuwei was shocked again: "When did you come looking for me?"
“I go there every day, and I get kicked out every day!” Xie Xin said, making a startling statement.
Yun Chuwei: ...
That's hard to judge!
Xie Xin suddenly sat up, reached out and hugged Yun Chuwei, saying, "That Xie Xuan better die on the frontier and never come back. That way, I can hug his wife and spend his money!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
Yun Chuwei pulled Xie Xin's hand away and said, "So, did you come to me to hug me, or to get the money from Xie Xuan's painting?"
Xie Xin lay back down and shook her head: "None of that! I want to ask, what exactly does Father want to do? I just can't understand him."
During the days when Xie Xuan was constantly pestering Yun Chuwei, Emperor Tianqi did not let up in the slightest.
He ordered the arrest of many people, including many of Emperor Tianqi's confidants.
Yun Chuwei whispered, "He wants to settle scores with everyone involved in the Crown Prince's death! He'll probably have them beheaded and their heads displayed in public?"
Xie Xin was stunned: "He's going to kill Lin Ji?"
Xie Xin knew very well that Lin Ji was doing things exactly as His Majesty had requested.
She didn't understand why her father, the emperor, would do this.
Yun Chuwei's lips curled slightly as she slowly said, "Don't be too shocked. He didn't even spare himself. A couple of days ago, I wrote a self-reproach edict and presented it to His Majesty!"
Xie Xin didn't understand what this meant and asked, "An edict of self-reproach? Why are you writing an edict of self-reproach? To apologize to Father Emperor..."
Her voice trailed off at this point.
If Yun Chuwei were to admit her mistake, it wouldn't be an edict of self-reproach, but rather a letter of apology.
Only when the emperor admits his mistakes can it be called an edict of self-reproach!
so……
"Father wants to admit his mistake? What mistake does he want to admit?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, just wait and see. You'll know once his imperial edict is issued!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xin indeed said nothing more.
Yun Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "However, there is one thing you might need to do in advance!"
"What is it?" Xie Xin asked.
"To get to know some truly talented young people who are dissatisfied with His Majesty's years of war and wholeheartedly hope to implement benevolent governance," Yun Chu said in a low voice.
Xie Xin nodded: "That's simple. I know quite a few people like that. There are quite a few in the army who, despite studying the Four Books and Five Classics and advocating Confucianism, are not given important positions and can only turn to the army."
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, then said seriously, "Remember, you must have real talent and skills, and you must be absolutely capable of serving you!"
