vs 40 Who remembers the events of those years?
Wang Xiang was silent, it was not the first time he had heard such an argument, and now everyone in the entire nine cities and rivers seemed to be discussing and amazed in private, they were puzzled or ridiculed or even resentful, the once great, brave, dedicated to the Xiao Nan Kingdom, and was once worshiped by people as a goddess, now it no longer exists, people seem to have amnesia, they forget that they once worshiped and praised this woman like that, and now the eldest princess Yao Jin is just a ridiculous and flattering, The shameless and disgusting woman, in order to flatter the new emperor and the queen, for the identity of her eldest princess, even her own domain can be sacrificed, so everyone suddenly began to rejoice, glad that she can still return to the rule of the Li Dynasty, glad that she is no longer a person from Xiaonanguo, glad that she is no longer the people of such a vassal country, everyone seems to have forgotten, but just a few years ago, they watched that beautiful fireworks display with this ridiculous and flattering woman, and at that time, they were still cheering for themselves to have such a great lord and celebrating all nightใ
Public opinion and the power of the imperial court are all powerful, and there is not a single sentence on the table and among the people that is biased towards Yao Jin, and no one even wonders why His Royal Highness, the former lord of the vassal country, suddenly handed over his vassal kingdom after just entering the palace, and behind the sentence "To congratulate the Lin family on the joy of the moon and the white seal", it seems to be flattering and ridiculous, and there will be any unknown twists and turns in it? No one, no one asked, no one thought, but Xuannu didn't believe it, she never believed that Yao Jin was the one who would make such a decision, she knew that she couldn't openly discuss it to the outside world, she could only ask Wang Xiang again and again why he silently echoed these people's arguments, why he didn't plead or refute, why even he didn't believe Yao Jin. And Wang Xiang was just silent and didn't answer most of the time, and finally one day he was blocked at home by Xuannu and couldn't get out, and finally just shook his head lightly: "Perhaps what Your Highness hopes most is that we can be disappointed, hateful, or simply forget her." Because she wants to protect us, perhaps she thinks that only by doing so can she protect us to the greatest extent. โ
"Why does Your Highness want to protect us, and what does she want to protect?"
"She will keep our peace and our future. Wang Xiang hugged the young son who was still in swaddling clothes in the hands of Xuannu, and said a little tiredly: "Maybe His Royal Highness already knows that she can't protect Xiao Nanguo and everyone, in this case, she chose to protect the ones she cares about the most - she can not want her own reputation, but she must keep us safe, she knows that in doing this, everyone in the world will look down on her, laugh at her and hate her, maybe even we who have advanced and retreated together, but she doesn't care, as long as we are safe, she feels that it is worth it...... But I know in my heart, I know her, her heart is more sincere than anyone else's, she is not flattering at all, she is not ridiculous at all, she is much braver than anyone in the world!"
"Wang Xiang......"
Looking at Xuannu's worried gaze, Wang Xiang showed a grateful smile at her: "I've been so busy these days, I haven't had time to thank you, you don't need to worry about it like this, but you are willing to take care of my family affairs all the time, thank you very much." โ
"I'm not for you, it's for Sister Lu Tao, it's for His Royal Highness's instructions at that time-" Xuan Nu remembered those days in the capital, and her eyes were even more worried, "Presumably, His Highness's life in the palace in the capital must have been very difficult, and there is no one who can talk to ...... by his side."
"Your Highness, there have been a few days that have been really good all these years. But no matter how good or bad it is, she never says it, never complains. โ
"Yes, Your Highness is such a person...... But now Her Royal Highness is no longer the lord of Xiaonan Kingdom, she is just the eldest princess of the Li Dynasty, she has no power in her hands, presumably no one will embarrass her in the Li Dynasty, right?"
"An eldest princess...... Wang Xiang suddenly had an inexplicable fear in his heart: An eldest princess of the Li Dynasty, the only princess in the harem who has reached the age of marriage but has not discussed marriage, and her identity is so special, what will His Majesty do to her now? Now she is just a caged bird at the mercy of others, can she really protect herself? Wang Xiang looked in the direction of the capital and muttered: " There are treacherous clouds in the capital, and the people in the palace are even more unpredictable, and now we are weak and useless and can't help, we can only hope that His Royal Highness can keep himself in that deep palaceโโ"
At this time, Xuan Nu found that the child was eating his fingers, so she reached out and gently pulled away the little fat finger that was sucking, and the chubby little baby was suddenly a little aggrieved, and reached out twice to catch nothing, so she whimpered and cried. Wang Xiang was a little flustered for a while, and subconsciously sent the child into Xuannu's arms, Xuannu was also busy taking it, coaxing and patting, the two were busy with the child, at this time, there was a rough mother-in-law who did not often enter the inner courtyard came in, as if she was looking for someone, and saw him standing at the door of the room, so she said in a loud voice: "The owner and the grandmother of the owner are only busy with the young master, but you know that the eldest lady is picking earthworms in the front yard, and the saplings are about to be broken!"
At this time, the nurse heard the voice and came out of the house, and when she saw Xuannu and Wang Xiang looking embarrassed, she hurriedly said: "Mrs. Liu, what are you talking about, why don't you take me to the eldest lady quickly!"
Saying that, the nurse pushed the rough mother-in-law out, although Xuan Nu was a straightforward person, she still felt a little embarrassed at the moment, so she found a topic and said: "The affairs of Nanguo Mansion have all been handed over now?"
"It's pretty much the same. The two adults of the Zhao family are in charge of the money and accounts, and they are all clearly explained, and His Royal Highness's own seals and private belongings have also been sorted out, and Jiao Shangshu said that he will go back to His Majesty and return them to His Royal Highness the eldest princess. โ
"I heard that the garrison troops of each county will be transferred back this time, and even General Fu - oh no, it is the more than 20,000 small Nanguo troops originally led by Lord Fu Jiang to be incorporated together, saying that His Majesty is going to hand it over to the Ministry of War for rearrangement, is that so?"
Speaking of the integration of the army, Wang Xiang frowned: "The work of integration has come to an end, but Fu Jiang can't be found everywhere, which is really disturbing." โ
"Originally, wasn't the military of Xiaonanguo all in charge of Master Fu?
"Somehow, everything was handled by his deputy general with his seal and instructions, although the handover was smooth, but the deputy commander of the forbidden army from Beijing was still extremely unhappy that he didn't see Fu Jiang's people. But this guy is now like disappearing out of thin air, he has no family members, and now he can't ask, and he can't find it, I'm really worried about him, his temperament is different from others, and he is stubborn and doesn't listen to persuasion, don't do anything out of the ordinary......"
Xuannu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Will he go to the capital?"
"The capital?" Wang Xiang was taken aback, and then lost his voice and said, "Could it be that he is going to find His Highness?!"
