Chapter 44: Becoming a Princess
Yaoling slept until the sun passed the treetops before she got up from the couch and rubbed her sleepy eyes, but saw Fengzhao standing in the middle of the room with a pair of deep eyes looking at her.
"Why did you come here so early. "Yesterday I went in and slept in her clothes, and since she was a child, the wind came to visit her when she woke up, so she didn't feel anything bad.
Looking at the unkempt and disheveled Yaoling in front of her, a trace of hesitation crossed the depths of Fengzhao's eyes: Her heart is not free?
Yaoling found that Fengzhao was a little stunned, so she smiled happily: "When did you become stupid?" Hearing this, Feng Zhao restrained his distracted heart and said softly: "Pack up and take you into the palace." ”
Yaoling jumped out of bed with a jump, "What are you doing in the palace?" she asked suspiciously?
"Didn't you ask that Jiang Li's monarch to take you around, he specially invited you to visit the palace today. He was a little angry, thinking about Yaoling's kindness to Rong Yuan, he felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart.
"Really, you're not mad at him, are you?" Yaoling's eyes flickered as she looked at him.
Hearing Yaoling ask, he pinched her nose and said, "With you, how dare I be angry with him." ”
Yaoling smiled, and smiled very brightly.
Today, Rong Yuan held a small banquet in the palace, specially invited Feng Zhao Yueming and Yao Ling, the crown prince Rong Jianghai and other princesses and princes were also sitting, looking at Rong Yuan's restored mood, Yao Ling was also happy for him. She is kind and simple at heart, she thinks that good people always want them to be happy, and she can't tolerate a little evil when she looks at people she hates. Rong Jianghai saw Yaoling for the first time, he was originally very lively and happy, and the two became acquainted after a while.
After the banquet, Rong Yuan just accompanied Yao Ling to the Jade Pavilion. The Jade Pavilion was the concubine hall that Rong Yuan prepared for Wu Yu back then. Since Wu Yu left, Rong Yuan ordered people to clean the dust here every day, Yao Ling looked at the jade pavilion very carefully, all the furnishings in the jade pavilion were untouched, as if the master had never left. Through the lilac veil hanging from the roof, you can see that all the furnishings in the house are clean and elegant, the two of them stand quietly in the center of the house, the wind blows the veil gently fluttering, and a string of wind chimes hanging under the eaves jingle and ring, Yao Ling can't help but like this small and small dormitory.
Stepping into the Jade Pavilion, Rong Yuan's expression became solemn and sad, his eyes never left Yaoling along the way, and her smile was the same as that of Yu'er back then.
At this time, looking at Yaoling standing in the Jade Pavilion, it seemed that it was Yu'er standing there.
"Do you like it?" he asked Yaoling, who nodded vigorously, "Then how about you live here in the future?" Yao Ling suddenly looked at Rong Yuan with a look of surprise on her face.
Rong Yuan looked at her, and there was a luster in his eyes like a father looking at his daughter: "I want you to be my daughter." He looked at her with anticipation in his eyes.
Yaoling didn't know how to answer, looking at the expectation and begging in Rong Yuan's eyes, Yaoling's heart couldn't help but soften. Ever since Rong Yuan first opened her mouth to say the first thing to her in front of the pavilion, she couldn't help but have an indescribable sense of affection for him, just like the kind of heart-to-heart closeness that a daughter has for her father, and now that he asked this question, it was difficult for her to answer for a while. After thinking for a long time, she said hesitantly: "I'm going back to ask Xiaofeng." ”
Hearing her answer like this, Rong Yuan let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It should be asked." ”
On the way back to the post house, Yaoling told Rong Yuan what he meant to Fengzhao and Yueming, Fengzhao did not appear to object, but looked at Yaoling with a pair of handsome eyes, and only said for a long time: "You can do your own things by yourself." Yaoling was speechless for a while, she wanted to ask Yueming next to her, but somehow she was a little afraid of him since last night, but she didn't dare to look at him with her eyes again, and Yueming still looked as pale as water, and didn't look at her.
After a while, Feng Zhao pulled over Yaoling, who was a little at a loss, and asked softly, "Sue me, what do you think in your heart?" Yaoling's long curly eyelashes flickered a few times and said softly: "I don't know what to do, I have a kind feeling for him in my heart, but I also extorted the money of many officials in his palace." ”
It turned out that this was the reason why she was embarrassed, Feng Zhao wanted to hold back her laughter, but she didn't hold back after all, she laughed out loud, and the corners of Yueming's mouth on one side couldn't help but grin to both sides, and the smiling Fengzhao's eyes unintentionally swept over Yueming on the side, and suddenly stopped smiling, and stared at him hatefully, and Yueming also retracted the smile he had just revealed, and turned to Fang Cai's coldness and expressionlessness. It's not strange to see the two of them like this, the two of them are often like this, one doesn't like to take care of the other, but they both love to get together.
A few days later, Rong Yuan, the monarch of Jiang Liguo, agreed to an alliance with Yanlong, and issued a holy decree to inform Jiang Liguo that Concubine Min had brutalized Yu Guifei and caused Yu Guifei to live in the Ming Dynasty, and now he found the daughter born to Yu Guifei when she was in exile among the people. After this holy decree came out, it shook the government and the opposition, and there was an uproar up and down, but this time Rong Yuan's attitude was very tough, so that those officials did not dare to say anything more although they had objections, and Yaoling also felt surprised, she thought that Rong Yuan recognized him as a righteous daughter at most, but she didn't expect him to tell Jiang Li like this, thinking that if she found her biological parents one day and didn't know how to explain it, and thinking about how Rong Yuan would explain it if Yu'er and her biological child appeared a day later, all her worries did not escape the eyes of the wind and light.
Feng Zhao's handsome eyes looked at Yaoling, who was kind and innocent but a little dazed and confused, and said softly:
"The reason why Rong Yuan wants to tell Jiang Li's people like this is that he really loves you as a daughter, and he wants all the people of Jiang Li, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, to treat you as Jiang Li's true princess. After a pause, he continued: "In this way, those concubines, princes and princesses in the palace will not dare to bully you, and those officials who have been robbed by you will not dare to take any action against you." After saying this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile to continue: "If you find your biological parents in the future, Rong Yuan will definitely explain the matter." As for the Jade Guifei if she appears in the future, it will be better, at that time, as long as you come forward to explain this matter, I think that the Jade Guifei will definitely understand Rong Yuan's longing for her. ”
Hearing Feng Zhao say this, Yao Ling was relieved, she was originally a reckless and naïve person, she did things from her heart, she couldn't think about it that complicated, and she thought in her heart that anyway, she agreed to Rong Yuan's request to be his daughter, so it didn't matter what she said.
A few days later, Rong Yuan held a grand canonization ceremony for Yao Ling in the palace of Jiangli Wang. When Yaoling appeared in front of Jiang Li's civil and military officials and concubines in a luxurious princess dress, the people who had seen Yu Guifei couldn't help but believe that Yaoling was born to Wu Yu. The original objections have also disappeared. It was the prince Rong Jianghai, who had doubts about this, that when he went to ask Jiang Li's queen, the queen looked at the magnolia hairpin on the rattle and just said: "It's that hairpin, that's right."
The seventh princess of the Min Concubine Palace was taken aback when she heard the news, and after thinking about it, although she didn't believe it in her heart, she thought that after the mother concubine saw Yaoling, she was wrong to think that Wu Yu caused the ugly thing thirteen years ago to be exposed.
Yaoling, who was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, barely accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, many of whom had been robbed by him, but none of them dared to connect Yaoling with the little witch who had robbed them, but Yaoling thought that after the ceremony was over, she would sue these corrupt officials to Rong Yuan, and then kicked them out of Jiang Li's palace one by one.
Looking at Yao Ling in a brocade dress, there was a faint worry in Feng Zhao's eyes, this result was planned by Rong Yuan to agree, Rong Yuan didn't want the world to say that Yao Ling was her righteous daughter, he wanted to give Yao Ling an upright princess identity, and in the future, she would be worthy of the name of King of Ning County, but for Feng Zhao, it doesn't matter if Yao Ling is a princess or not, today he is happy for Yao Ling, happy that Yao Ling has found her biological father, she is worried about Yao Ling, she doesn't know how to explain this qiē to Yao Ling in the future, he and Rong Yuan can't bear to tell Yao Ling the truth, that day Concubine Min's statement has hurt Yao Ling a lot, if you tell the truth again, I'm afraid Yao Ling won't be able to accept it, so Rong Yuan and he decided to find a suitable opportunity later.
When this qiē was done, Feng Zhao and Yueming were anxious to go back to Yanlong for the Spring Festival, but Rong Yuan said that he would not let Yaoling leave Jiang Li, and finally Yaoling promised to return to Yanlong after Jiang Li accompanied Rong Yuan for the Spring Festival. So Fengzhao and Yueming left first.
Seeing Yaoling's petite figure getting farther and farther away, and Jiang Li's palace getting smaller and smaller, Feng Zhao's heart felt empty. The first time was when Yao Ling had this feeling of emptiness after being taken away by Mr. Ghost, and this time it was stronger than the last time. He cleaned up his melancholy mood for a while, and when he went out of the car door, it was just when the sun was rising, and the long hair that was scattered at the front of the carriage was wantonly fluttering because of the galloping of the carriage, and the wide brocade robe fluttered in the wind. The sky on the horizon of the distant world is radiant, the morning glow of the big flowers is reflected by the sun in a colorful way, listening to the chirping of birds in the morning breeze, he exudes a wordless pride and ambition in his heart.
"Dijing, how far am I from you?" he asked himself silently in his heart.
The carriage of the moon walked ahead, thinking about what the guy with a face like a cold moon said that night, and his heart felt a little uncomfortable. But he couldn't grasp Yaoling's mind in his heart, so he agreed to his request. In a flash, he had already arrived at Yueming's car, and when he entered the car, he saw Yueming holding a chess game in his hand and studying it.
Neither of them spoke, and after sitting for a long time, Yueming asked Fengzhao lightly: "Have you thought about the road behind?"
Feng Zhao looked out the window, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was saying to Yueming: "Will the thistle give up the three small countries in the south?"
Yueming stopped reading and then looked at the wind in front of him, and asked lightly, "What do you think they will do?" It has been more than a month since the two of them set off to congratulate Yanlong, needless to say, the news of Jiguo has already arrived.
Emperor Kangning, the monarch of the Ji Kingdom, is not a good person, how can he give up the meat in his mouth lightly, but even if the two of them want to break their heads, they can't think of what the Ji Kingdom will do.
The carriage was running rapidly on the way home, and when he stood on the carriage at the end of the day, he could already see the blue and blue mountains belonging to Yanlong in the distance, and a team of more than a dozen people and horses ran out of the col in front of him, the hooves of the horses were galloping and dusty, and the people on the horses were whipping and drinking, and in a blink of an eye they came to the front of Chaohe's team. At this time, the two carriages had stopped in the middle of the road, and Fengzhao and Yueming stood on the carriage respectively.
The young man at the head was Yan Yuming, the chief of the guards in the Yanlong Palace. Turned over and dismounted and came to Yueming's carriage, clenched his fists and landed on one leg: "Your subordinates see His Royal Highness the Prince." After Yueming looked at him and signaled to excuse him, he asked lightly: "Yan Guards are running like this, but there is something in the palace?" Yan Yuming said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty Xià I will wait here to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince of the county, please return to the palace quickly." Yueming saw that his eyes flickered, and knew that he was hiding something, so he said softly to the coachman: "Go back to the palace at full speed." ”
Feng Zhao didn't speak, with his eyesight, the anxious faces of those people when they were galloping on the horses just now, when they saw the two of them, they all showed relaxed expressions, and everyone showed fatigue on their faces, which could be seen to be caused by a long run, and he groaned in his heart, something must have happened in Yanlong Palace.
