Chapter 285: The Wish Has Been Granted
"There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just in case. Although the third child is my son, he usually talks to everyone. But for so many years, I have never been able to see through his true character, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong to pass the throne to him. Chen Yi, in fact, at the beginning, my father wanted you to inherit this position, but Qing'er didn't agree, and my father also knew that you were not here, and my father didn't want to force you. If your royal brother can always be like this, then of course it is the best. What if he changes in the future? I know that you have a deep brotherly relationship, and you will definitely not be able to do it if you go against your imperial brother, so I can only leave this matter to Qing'er. She's a little bit more concerned than you. Situ Kai said.
Yun Wanqing said dissatisfiedly, "Father, I don't think you're praising me when I hear you, are you saying that Qing'er's heart is more ruthless?"
Situ Kai smiled and said, "You girl, how could my father say that about you." Father thinks that if that day really comes, you will definitely have the ability to solve this matter perfectly. ”
Yun Wanqing paused, didn't dwell on this question anymore, but said, "Father, what is that heirloom jade pendant, what's the use?"
Situ Kai explained, "The heirloom jade pendant was originally handed over to the next Son of Heaven together with the heirloom jade seal, and both of these things can represent the identity of the emperor. If you really want to calculate it, in fact, the function of the jade pendant is greater. Because the person who has the heirloom jade pendant is qualified to dispose of the son of heaven. It's just that all along, because the heirloom jade seal and the heirloom jade pendant were handed over to the emperor together, there are not so many comparisons. In order to have a guarantee, Qing'er, you must protect this heirloom jade pendant. ”
Yun Wanqing didn't expect Situ Kai to hand over such an important thing to her as an outsider for safekeeping, and she looked very puzzled.
Situ Kai could see what she was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile, "Qing'er, you are not an outsider, although you are just my righteous daughter, but in my heart, there is no difference between you and my own child." The most important thing is that you and Chen Yi are going to get married sooner or later, and handing it over to you is the same as handing it over to him, you are strong in martial arts, and handing it over to you is even more insurance. ”
Yun Wanqing pursed her lips and didn't speak, if she could, she didn't want to wade into this muddy water at all, okay?
Situ Chenyi still thinks this is not good, he and Situ Hanyu have grown up dependent on each other since childhood, and he doesn't think that Situ Hanyu will become bad.
"Father, is it really necessary to do this? If you let the imperial brother know that you are guarding him like this, he will be very sad. Situ Chenyi said.
Situ Kai nodded, "It's necessary, didn't I say it just now, it's just a guarantee, what's there to be sad about." As long as he can maintain his original intention, then this heirloom jade pendant is a useless ornament, and it is useless for Qing'er to hold it. Wait until his performance can really satisfy us in the future, and Qing'er will return it to him. ”
"But father, you left the secret guard to Jingqi Jingxue and gave me the heirloom jade pendant, this will really make my brother-in-law uncomfortable. Yun Wanqing also said.
"There's no way around it, if Chen Yi takes over this position, then I won't have so much to worry about. Otherwise......" Situ Kai said.
Yun Wanqing immediately pulled Situ Chenyi and walked out, and said in her mouth, "This matter is settled, and I will help my brother-in-law keep the jade pendant first." We still have something to do, so let's go first, father, you are slowly busy. ”
Situ Kai could only smile helplessly, didn't say anything, and continued to deal with state affairs.
Time passed day by day, and soon half a year passed. These days, Situ Hanyu has been working very hard, busy learning how to deal with government affairs every day, although he, Yun Kening and the children have already moved back to the palace, but in Yun Kening's words, she has not had a few words with Situ Hanyu for a long time. He was busy until late every day, and he left again before dawn, and Situ Nianen hadn't seen him for a long time.
Finally, it was the auspicious day of the zodiac that Situ Kai had already chosen, and today, he was going to officially abdicate and cede the throne to Situ Hanyu.
Situ Hanyu was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night, and when it was only the fourth watch, he got up, took care of himself, and prepared to ascend the throne. Yun Kening, as the queen, naturally has to attend together.
Originally, Yun Kening thought that she would be very happy on this day, but when it really came to this day, she didn't feel happy at all, and even she had a faint idea of persuading Situ Hanyu not to ascend the throne. But she knew very well that Situ Hanyu had put in a lot of effort for this day, and it was impossible for him to give up.
Everything went smoothly on the throne, until he returned to the imperial study, Situ Kai handed over the jade seal to Situ Hanyu's hands, but told him that the jade pendant of the country should be kept by Yun Wanqing, Situ Hanyu was stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a long time.
"Han Yu, my father doesn't mean anything else, it's just that Qing'er is the princess of the country, and this heirloom jade pendant should be kept by her according to the rules, and according to the young friendship between Qing'er and you, this jade pendant is useless in her hands. Situ Kai comforted Situ Hanyu and said, although he was guarding against him, he didn't want to cause a rift between him and Yun Wanqing.
Situ Hanyu knew that this was not the reason why Situ Kai did this, but at present, he had no right to oppose anything, although he was reluctant, he didn't say anything.
By the time Situ Hanyu came out of the imperial study, his face had long since lost the happiness he had when he ascended the throne in the morning.
Others didn't know why, but Yun Wanqing and Situ Chenyi were very clear. Yun Wanqing stepped forward and said softly, "Brother-in-law of the emperor, after so many years, you finally got what you wanted, don't be unhappy, Qing'er specially prepared a table of food for you in my sister's palace, let's go have a drink together." ”
Situ Hanyu smiled lightly and said, "Qing'er is right, after so many years, my wish has finally been fulfilled." Okay, let's go have a drink and celebrate for me. ”
On this day, Situ Hanyu was drunk, and everyone thought he was too happy, but Yun Wanqing and Situ Hanyu knew very well that he was not, in fact, he was in a very bad mood. If you are someone else, although you have inherited the throne, not only do you not have a secret guard, but even the jade pendant of the country is in the hands of others, so you will be in a bad mood.
In the following days, all of Situ Hanyu's thoughts were focused on dealing with state affairs, I don't know if it was because of the matter of passing on the jade pendant of the country, Situ Hanyu didn't dare to trouble Yun Wanqing, but he slowly became indifferent to Yun Kening. Although it wasn't too obvious, Yun Kening still felt it.
On this day, Yun Wanqing entered the palace to visit Situ Nianen, and naturally felt Yun Kening's unhappiness.
"Sister, what's wrong with you, why are you sad, did anyone bully you?" Yun Wanqing asked with concern in her arms as Situ Nianen.
Yun Kening was silent and refused to speak, although she was sad in her heart, she didn't want to tell Yun Wanqing. According to Yun Wanqing's temper that protects her so much, if she knew that Situ Hanyu was indifferent to her during this time, Yun Wanqing would definitely go to Situ Hanyu to theorize. But Situ Hanyu is now the emperor, and Yun Kening is worried that Yun Wanqing will really anger Situ Hanyu and be in trouble.
Yun Wanqing knows her sister well, she obviously looks wronged but doesn't dare to say it, then there is only one possibility. The person who bullied her was Situ Hanyu, so she didn't want to tell herself. I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Chuanguo Yupei.
Although Yun Wanqing guessed what happened, she was not ready to help Yun Ke Ning out like before. After all, she is now a queen, and she can't help her with everything anymore, otherwise she won't be able to learn to deal with problems by herself in her life. As long as it's not too much, she's not prepared to meddle in the matter between them.
But Yun Kening has always been such a little white flower, she doesn't know how to please Situ Hanyu, and she doesn't know what the problem between the two of them is. So much so that every time she was with Situ Hanyu, she seemed very cautious, for fear of making Situ Hanyu unhappy, which made Situ Hanyu very annoyed.
In the end, because of this vicious cycle, in the early court one day, when a minister mentioned that the emperor should add some newcomers to the draft, Situ Hanyu agreed without saying a word.
When Yun Kening learned the news, she was simply surprised, and sat in the room for a long time without reacting. She knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. Situ Hanyu has only been on the throne for just a few months, and he is about to admit new people into the palace.
