When Prince Jing returned to the palace, Yin Qianhua had already learned that he was about to go on a long journey and was making a list of things to take with him!
"You must be tired. I have asked Hanying to prepare some tea for you to moisten your throat first." Yin Qianhua put down the pen and paper and asked softly.
"What are you doing?" In fact, King Jing had already seen the list and the contents on it. With such a wife, what else could a husband ask for? No matter how many troubles and unhappiness he encountered outside, as long as he saw his wife and children, he felt that none of them mattered.
"You saw me and asked, but I'm packing your luggage! I also plan to go to Biyun Temple on the first day of next month to get you a peace amulet... Remember to come back safely, the children and I are waiting for you."
King Jing looked around and thought, "Very good, everyone here has good eyesight." Except for the couple, everyone else in the room had left.
"Don't worry, it's just a bandit suppression. I don't take your husband seriously. Besides, the soldiers sent to me by my royal brother are all experienced elite soldiers. I promise that they will come back intact. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself when the time comes." After saying this, King Jing hugged his wife in his arms and deliberately rubbed her body. The meaning of this was self-evident.
"You...there's someone else here!" Yin Qianhua's face turned red with shame. This man is a prince, but he is such a dirty bastard.
"They had withdrawn long ago. If they didn't even have this much foresight, they should have packed up and gone home." King Jing really wanted to do something in the ambiguous atmosphere, but Yin Qianhua quickly pushed him away. Her son was going to get married in a few years, and this man... was really shameless.
"Where's your son?"
"Back to the front yard."
Where's Ruonan?"
"Rest."
"Then let's go to bed too!" The son and daughter are resting, how can parents fall behind!
King Jing picked up his wife by the waist and walked towards the bed. He would not be back for three to five months this time. He had to eat meat while he could, otherwise he would not even have soup to drink in a few days...
From the next day on, King Jing became very busy, traveling back and forth between the palace, the clan residence, and the prince's residence every day. On this day, he finally managed to spare some time to spend with his wife and daughter, but on the way to Jinhua Garden, he was stopped by Concubine Han.
"Your Highness, I have something to say to you." Han Ying, still as charming as ever, spoke softly.
"If you have anything to say, wait until I come back from the northwest."
Han Ying looked at King Jing in disbelief. Even though she was just a concubine, she was listed in the royal jade record and was a recognized concubine of the royal palace with a title and status, not just any random cat or dog. But today, someone wanted to send her away with just one sentence. It was really sad.
"Aunt... I mean, the Empress Dowager asked me to accompany you to the northwest..."
Concubine Han was interrupted by King Jing before she could finish her words.
"Since you know what the Queen Mother is planning, you should also know that my brother has already helped me reject it."
"I am willing to accompany you."
"The journey to the northwest is long, and you are so delicate and fragile. How can this king bear to let you suffer like this? Even if you are willing, I am not! Hurry and return to your Jinxiu Garden."
"Your Highness, I am so moved by your words. Everyone in the palace says that I have fallen out of favor. If they hear what you say, they will never say that again." Concubine Han knew in her heart that this cousin the prince was rejecting her, but she could not go along with his words. If she did, she would get nothing today.
King Jing looked at Concubine Han for a long time. She didn't understand what he said, and she was deliberately disgusting him. Did he change his strategy again?
"If you have something to say, just say it here."
"You are about to go on a long journey. My daughter and I will have a very lonely and boring life. I wonder if you can bring the Han family's child to keep us company."
"She's the granddaughter of Duke Hanguo, right?" Seeing that I didn't want my son to live in the palace, I wanted to send her to the palace, right?
"If you feel lonely, why not..." King Jing said as he thought.
"We can invite them to be our guests, right?" Concubine Han said excitedly. She could finally report to her aunt.
"What I mean is, why don't you send you and your daughter back to the Duke of Qing's Mansion to live for a while? When I return, I will send someone to pick you up." This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before!
"Go back... go back to the Han family... that's not necessary." My cousin, before he even left the house, was already trying to clear the way for the mother and her two children? Are the ones in Jinhua Garden your wife and children, but not the ones in Jinxiu Garden?
"You are not only my concubine, but also my cousin. I must give you more consideration. There is no need to say polite words. Go back and prepare well."
"I don't want to go back to the Duke of Qing's Mansion. The Prince's Mansion is my home!" If my cousin leaves for three or five months, will I still have a place to stay when I return to the Prince's Mansion? I can't leave. I absolutely can't leave.
"I have something else to do. Go back to Jinxiu Garden and tell Ruoqing and Ruoxing the good news. They will definitely be very happy."
It would be strange if she would be happy. Is it better to say that she is the county lady of the prince's mansion or the granddaughter of the Duke of Qing's mansion? Anyone with a brain can tell the difference.
Unfortunately, King Jing did not give her a chance to refute. He walked away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After spending time with his wife and daughter to strengthen their relationship, King Jing sent someone to look for Yun Yichen. His wife said that his son seemed to be in a bad mood recently and asked the father and son to communicate more about their relationship. So, let's communicate!
"I heard that you haven't been feeling well lately. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yun Yichen shook his head. He wasn't still brooding over the matter of General Xiao's granddaughter. He just needed to give that little girl a chance and teach her a lesson, and they would be even. His previous thoughts of revenge and teaching her a lesson vanished into thin air after he learned she was General Xiao's granddaughter.
What made him unhappy now was that his father was leaving Kyoto. Could he support the entire palace? Could he protect his mother and sister? If he had worked harder in the past, would he not be so anxious?
It seems that some of the old man's words are quite reasonable. People like me, my cousin, and Mu Shao, who were born into a life of luxury and have never experienced the hardships of life, will only panic and want to ask for help when faced with an emergency. Isn't that what I am doing now? Too weak, still too weak.
"You're still a child, don't overthink it. Father will arrange everything when he leaves. I believe you'll understand after being alone at home for a while. Only when you're strong enough to protect the people you want to protect will you have the chance to do what you want in the future."
"My son understands this now."
"Are you still blaming Father for finding General Xiao to be your master?"
"Son...son has never blamed you."
"I am your father. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. So you don't have to deny or make excuses. I was your age too. How could I not know what a teenage boy is thinking?
Think about what your three personalities were like four years ago, and how different are you now after being tempered by General Xiao? If you want to be a man who achieves great things, you must experience hardships and trials. No matter how beautiful the flowers in the greenhouse bloom, they will wither if you move them to the yard in winter. Do you understand?
"Son, I really understand. Thank you for your teachings, Father."
"You should also thank General Xiao. It was Father who found him and asked him to train you strictly. I believe that after a few years, you have already figured this out."
"I figured it out."
"Because of the agreement between my father and General Xiao, he will no longer teach you three kung fu after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year."
Yun Yichen suddenly looked up at King Jing. Five years, had five years passed so quickly? He had thought they would be together for a very long time! It turned out to be less than a year. For the first time, Yun Yichen felt that time had passed too quickly.
Yun Yichen listened to what King Jing said next but didn't take it to heart. He was so shocked by the sudden news that he forgot to react.
"From tomorrow on, stay with me. You should also try to get involved in some things." King Jing pretended not to notice his son's shock. Now he thought of General Xiao. Why didn't he expect this day would come when he was playing against him?
