Yun Qianyu frowned!
“In my heart, my father is a well-deserved hero! When I was young, there were always wars between the Three Kingdoms, and my father fought everywhere. At that time, I always thought that the Nanlou Kingdom was as stable as an iron barrel with my father and the old prince. But I didn’t know that some people began to start from the inside of the palace because they couldn’t shake my father.”
“Because my father was away from the palace all year round, and coupled with the fighting between the concubines, there were not many descendants left. Only my mother gave birth to three sons and one daughter. Among the other concubines, only Concubine Xian and Concubine De had one son. Since then, no concubine gave birth to a child. My father’s mind was not in the harem, so he never found anything wrong. Until that year, when my three royal brothers and two concubine brothers died together in the annual royal hunt. In the blink of an eye, my father had no sons. My father rushed back from the border and his hair turned white overnight. My mother also passed away shortly after she fell ill at that time. After a thorough investigation, my father found no clues. That was the first time I realized that my father was not omnipotent!”
“What’s even more shocking is that all the concubines in the harem had been given infertility drugs. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that they had drugged each other. How big a plan must this person have set up to wipe out my father’s harem and offspring in one fell swoop! Although my father was already forty years old at that time, he was still in good health and it would not be difficult for him to have offspring. The strange thing is that the concubines who entered the palace later would inexplicably miscarry after becoming pregnant. After a series of blows, my father cleaned up the harem in one fell swoop. The concubines were all sent to the royal temple to cultivate their bodies and minds. Not a single one was left. There were only my father and I in such a huge harem. Even I thought that my father had become cold-hearted.”
Princess Mingzhu looked towards the hazy palace in the night, as if she could see the bloody past inside through the red walls.
“Three years passed in a flash, but one day, there was suddenly a woman and a two-year-old boy in the palace. It turned out that the woman was father’s secret guard. During the expedition when father came back, father was drugged by the princess of a neighboring country, and she helped him to get rid of the drug. After learning that she was pregnant, father did not tell anyone, not even me. In order to protect her, father did not let her into the palace but arranged for her to stay outside. This was also the reason why father cleaned up the harem. Fortunately, she gave birth to a boy, and this boy was Yujian’s father.”
Princess Mingzhu looked very lonely. Then after a moment of silence, she said, “Father immediately appointed him as the crown prince, tried his best to protect him, and selected the youngest daughter of the Duke of Rongguo Mansion as the Crown Princess. When I was sixteen, my father granted me a marriage, and I married the son of the Duke of Rongguo. When Xi’er was eight years old, the Crown Prince married the most beloved lady of the Rongguo Mansion, my sister-in-law, and Yujian was born the following year. Things seemed to be going in a good direction, but when Yujian was five years old, the Crown Prince was not spared even under the dual protection of his father and the Duke of Rongguo Mansion, but fortunately Yujian was left behind. After this, my father took Yujian with him and never left for a moment.”
Yun Qianyu sat upright in her seat, and her beautiful face never changed!
The jasmine tea on the table was fragrant and its fragrance wafted out, blending with the incense in the incense burner. The whole hall was filled with a lingering fragrance! It made people inexplicably calm down their disordered thoughts.
Princess Mingzhu sighed as she looked at Yun Qianyu’s still calm expression.
“I understand!” Yun Qianyu finally spoke.
Princess Mingzhu looked at Yun Qianyu in surprise. She thought that what she said was too obscure and Yun Qianyu didn’t understand!
Yun Qianyu stood up and refilled Princess Mingzhu’s tea. Her eyes fell on her astonished face and she slowly said again, “I understand what aunt meant.”
Princess Mingzhu’s heart paused and she shed tears of relief. Maybe her father really trusted the right person this time!
Yun Qianyu took out a brocade handkerchief to help her wipe the tears from her face. She then sighed in her heart that the royal family was not a place where normal people could survive! The road ahead is really not easy!
“Don’t worry, I will do my best to protect Yujian and let him grow into an emperor who can support the world of Nanlou Kingdom alone!” This was the first time that Yun Qianyu made such a formal promise to someone!
Princess Mingzhu calmed down her excitement, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently!
“I have been drinking famous tea since I was a child. I have tasted this jasmine tea which is not precious. Why can’t I taste the taste of Qianyu’s tea?”
Yun Qianyu said knowingly: “These are jasmine teas grown by Yungu itself. Aunt likes them, so you should take some back to taste slowly.”
“Thoughtful girl!”
Princess Mingzhu put down the teacup, stood up and said: “It’s getting late, Qianyu should go to bed early!”
Yun Qianyu stood up to see her off. Princess Mingzhu stopped again and turned back to Yun Qianyu and said: “You and Xi’er are not suitable, so I won’t embarrass you.”
Princess Mingzhu used “I” instead of “I”, which was enough to express her feelings.
“Thank you, aunt!”
Yun Qianyu was indeed relieved. Don’t mess with the couple. She didn’t have any feelings for Hua Manxi.
Princess Mingzhu looked at Yun Qianyu who was still indifferent and sighed. She then turned and walked out, leaving the last sentence lightly.
“I heard that the dignitaries in the capital have been looking for a very ordinary painting and calligraphy recently!”
