Chapter 47
“Fabien? Which Yu Wang?”
“It’s your son, the fourth son, Zhou Xian Yang.”
“Xian Yang? He’s been crowned king? Didn’t the Emperor send him to Yangzhou?”
“Yes. Your Highness stayed at the border for eight years, and finally recaptured the Western Qin, capturing the Lord of the Western Qin, fulfilling Emperor Tai Zu’s long-cherished wish.”
“Oh! Xian Yang he …… he …… has suffered a lot, right? Did he suffer a lot of injuries?”
The black shadow said, “In war, injuries are unavoidable, Your Highness has all healed. Now the Yu Wang Mansion has been built, it’s on Mountain River Street in the west of the city.”
“He returned to the capital? He’s back!”
“Yes. His Highness sent me here because there are three things to tell Your Highness.”
“You say.”
“His Highness got married yesterday.”
“Really? Good! Good! Which girl did he marry?”
“It’s the Duke of England’s house, the fourth miss of the Rong family.”
“The Rong family …… well well well.” Yu Jing thought her tears had dried up a long time ago, until the joy inside her at this moment made her tears stop flowing.
“He got married and I don’t even have anything to give him and his bride.”
“His Highness has already given the pair of jade bracelets to the Princess to wear, all as a token of the Queen’s heart.”
“That’s right, I forgot to leave him a pair of bracelets.”
“The second thing, His Highness said that after this night, the guards of the royal tomb will definitely be replaced, and by then, the Queen’s life will be a little bit better.”
“It’s hard for you to take such a big risk, you must be careful when you go back, don’t get caught!”
Xiao Bei didn’t expect that Niangniang Yu would care about herself, her heart was touched, and she nodded silently in the darkness.
Then he said, the third item: “Your Highness please be patient for two more years, at most two years! He will definitely find a way to save you.”
“No!” Yu Jing immediately interrupted him, “Tell him not to think about this, I’m not going out, I’m right here, I’m not going anywhere …… There’s nothing wrong with this place, it’s quiet and at ease. Tell him, do not move again to pick me out of the idea, otherwise even if he came, I will not go with him, I will not recognize him as a son, I will …… I will immediately touch the death here, understand it!”
Xiao Bei was shocked, not expecting the legendary gentle Empress Yu to be so fiery.
He was very puzzled: “His Highness has been planning for many years, just for the sake of one day being able to reunite with the Empress, you don’t go out, he has been working so hard for so many years, why in the end?”
“For his own sake ah! Now that he’s married to the crown princess, he should be living a peaceful life and not involve his wife and children for me. You must tell him that he is not allowed to pick me up and take me out, or else I will touch my head and die here, and I will never do what he wants.”
Xiao Bei was speechless, so he could only say, “Understood, I will definitely relay this to His Highness.”
As soon as the words fell, the dark shadow disappeared.
Only then did Amber dare to come over and say, “Did you hear that, Your Highness? Our Highness has returned and even made a great achievement.”
Yu Jing couldn’t be bothered to rejoice and worried, “Silly child, don’t do anything foolish, it’s enough to save yourself.”
It was just the beginning of summer and the pre-dawn wind was still this chilly.
Rong Xiangmian was woken up by the cold. At first there was a moment of confusion, thinking that he was still in Fu Ning Palace. Later, he thought that he had already returned home, and that this was Fufeng Xuan. Then later, remembering that she had married into the Yuhang Mansion, this was the royal bedroom.
Only when she borrowed the weak morning sunlight to see the furnishings inside this house and saw that King Yu was leaning on the soft couch by the window did she realize that they hadn’t gone back yet, and had spent the night in a restaurant.
“Why are you drinking so much?” Rong Xiangmian removed the wine jar from Yu Wang’s hand. Pushing him a bit, she wonders if he’s too drunk to wake up.
She lowers her body, pulls Yu Wang onto her back, carries him to the bed, touches his face and hands, they are all cold, and immediately puts him down to sleep.
“By virtue of being young and not knowing how to take care of yourself, in the future when you’re old and uncomfortable you still don’t want me to serve you?” Rong Xiangmian muttered, covered him with the quilt and sat aside to quietly keep watch. Thinking to himself, he still has to return to the door today, it’s not good to be too late.
But His Highness hadn’t slept since the night before, and if he didn’t sleep again, an iron man wouldn’t be able to stand it. If it is really not possible, send someone to give a word to the parents side, should be able to understand.
Just pondering, she saw Yu Wang open his eyes, quietly and silently looking at her.
Rong Xiangshi leaned down, “Your Highness, it’s still early, sleep some more.”
King Yu reaches out and wraps his arm around her waist, pulling her onto himself.
Rong Xiangmian then quietly leaned against him.
She was thankful that after a few days of being together, she felt quite in tune with King Yu. He treats himself with such thoroughness and accompanies her to pay homage to her mother. To be able to have such a good husband, she, Rong Xiangmian, was considered lucky in her life.
She touches his cheek, “Your Highness, I’m here with you, don’t worry and go to sleep.”
King Yuhang hugs her tightly, buries his face in her neck, closes his eyes, and murmurs, “Third girl, over the years, I’ve missed you.”
In that instant , Rong Xiangxian only felt that the blood in her body was frozen as cold as this pre-dawn sky.
Waiting for the sound of King Yu’s calm breathing to come, only then did Rong Xiangmian move a little, revealing a wry smile.
She gently got out of bed and lightly sat on the couch where King Yüeh was lying last night, leaning against the window sill and looking into the distance. The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the sky and shone onto her face.
No wonder Third Sister loathed herself so much after the marriage was finalized, often sneering.
No wonder King Yu was on her pavilion, quietly watching Third Sister leave the pavilion.
No wonder they played polo together.
It turns out that Yü Wang is not concerned about the identity of the third sister’s first daughter, or fancying her sister at the City Temple, they have old friends.
Yes, the third sister was brought into the palace by her mother from time to time when she was a child. Perhaps, in the palace, she had already met with His Highness.
It was her mistake that took advantage of her sister’s marriage.
But …… what did she do wrong? It was Third Sister herself who was dying to marry and refused to go to Yangzhou ah, it was Zhou Xian Yang himself who gave up the offer of the British Duke’s House to marry the first daughter ah.
They didn’t go all out to fight for it, so why should she be the one who gets the blame for it?
She was so ridiculous just now, thinking that she had found the man of her dreams in her life.
Rong Xiangmian laughed and laughed, using her fingertips to quickly cross the coldness at the end of her eyes, telling herself not to be overwhelmed by the events of the past few days.
The word “love” is too heavy for her to bear.
She was lucky to have married a good man in her life.
When Zhou Xian Yang woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, and the room was empty.
His heart tightened and he called out, “Xiang Xiang!”
No one answered him. Getting up, the water for washing had already been pumped and was resting on the basin stand next to the bed. It should have been called by the crown princess, slightly relieved.
He washed himself haphazardly and headed outside. Finally, in the stables, he saw Rong Xiangmei, who was feeding grass to the two horses.
“Scared me, waking up without seeing you. I’ll be damned if I lost you.” He smiled and took the grass from her hand, Rong Xiangmian glanced at Yu Wang, if it was yesterday, these words could make her happy for a while.
At the moment, she just smiled slightly and didn’t say anything.
