Chapter 1: Return to Beijing
"Your Highness, the Lord of Taining entered Beijing today, I wonder if His Highness will go to the Yasukuni Mansion?" An ordinary-looking black-clothed young man looked ahead and said. Sitting in front of the black-clothed boy was a young man dressed in red, who was facing away from the black-clothed boy and tending with the plants in his hand, unable to see his face clearly. But even so, you can feel the cold aura that pervades the young man in red.
"Oh, A-Ning is coming back, I don't know if I haven't seen her for three years, I don't know if she still remembers me, I don't know if I've been in the south for three years, I don't know if I'm better. Since she came back today, even if the Yasukuni couple were careful on the road, it would be tiring to let her rest today, we will come to Japan for a long time. Let someone check the gift I prepared for A-Ning again, there can't be any mistakes. The young man in red commanded.
"Yes, my subordinates will go and see it, and there will be no mistakes." The young man in black said respectfully.
"Qin Yi, I'm glad she's finally back." The young man in red said to the young man in black, and his tone was a little colder. Ever since he heard the news that A-Ning had left for Beijing, he had been looking forward to the day when the two would meet. Qin Yi knew that the person in front of him didn't need him to reply, so he respectfully stepped back and began to arrange the things that His Highness had just ordered.
"Big brother, what did Your Highness say when you just entered?" Seeing Qin Yi come out, three more black-clothed young men came over, the four of them were the personal guards of the red-clothed young man, their lives were saved by His Highness, and their names were also taken by His Highness, namely Qin Yi, Qin Feng, Qin Ming, and Qin Lei.
"Do you still need to ask, His Royal Highness is naturally happy that the Lord of Taining is back." The youngest Qin Ming said. Their Royal Highness is the seventh prince of today, although he is the concubine of the middle palace with the eldest prince, the situation is indeed embarrassing. At that time, the queen of the middle palace was accused of messing with the harem and murdering the imperial heir, and should have been executed, but later because she was pregnant, she was able to breathe because she was pregnant and was pleaded by the queen mother and the eldest princess of Anguo. It is also because of this that it is clear that the eldest prince is the eldest son, but because of the queen's affairs, he is in an embarrassing situation, and even now he has not established the status of the crown prince.
The Seventh Prince was born in the cold winter of Layue, when the weather was the coldest. The winter of that year was extremely cold, and it had reached the point where the water had turned into ice, and the environment of the cold palace could be much better. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, which should have been the reunion of thousands of families, the singing and dancing in the palace was leveled, but who could notice that in the cold palace, the woman who was once a mother and extremely noble was giving birth with difficulty.
The palace has always been a place to raise and step on low, even if you were once the queen, and now you are not a prisoner of the order, so no one comes to take care of it, and the only one who accompanies the queen is her nurse, and she is the only one who accompanies her later. Mama Shen desperately invited Princess Anguo, but when they arrived, although the queen gave birth to the prince, she died of dystocia because of the difficult conditions and depression.
And Rong Li, the prince, died of his mother as soon as he was born, and he was also born in the cold palace, and it was rumored that his life was extremely hard, and he was destined to commit six relatives, so although it was later confirmed that it was the royal bloodline, he was still not favored and did not take it out of the cold palace, but only symbolically sent a few people to wait. If it weren't for the coincidence that saved the lost Lord of Taining and got the intercession of Princess Anguo, he might still be in the cold palace now. Therefore, they are all very grateful to the Lord of Taining and the eldest princess of Anguo.
"A-Ning, it's cold or not, is there anything uncomfortable?" The woman with a soft face asked her little daughter with concern, the eldest princess of Aning's mother, the sister of the current saint.
"Mother, I'm fine, and the carriage is very warm and comfortable, don't worry." Opposite the eldest princess of Anguo sat a thin little girl. Her face is beautiful, her facial features are exquisite, although she is still young, she can already see the beauty of her growth, but her face is pale with a hint of sickness, and she looks like she is not in good health.
"It's better to sleep for a while, and when my mother calls you, there will be a long way to go." Princess An said softly.
"Okay." A-Ning obediently lay down, watched her mother fold the quilt for her, and closed her eyes.
The eldest princess of Anguo looked at her daughter's sick face, her eyes were full of pity, if she hadn't been careless, A-Ning would not have been born prematurely, let alone have such a sick and weak body. As A-Ning, he should have been a freshly dressed angry horse and wanton publicity, but because this body can only be raised in the deep boudoir, he is afraid that he will not be able to raise it.
"Hey." The eldest princess of Anguo sighed and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. The Duke of Yasukuni outside the carriage seemed to hear his wife's sigh, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Another hour passed, and the group was almost in front of the city gate, and the daughter awakened by the eldest princess of Anguo,
"Aning, wake up, we're almost there."
"Mother, are we staying in the Guogong Mansion or the Princess Mansion this time?" Aning asked.
"Let's stay in the Guogong Mansion for a few days and then go back to the Princess's Mansion, the Guogong Mansion has a lot of personnel and is not suitable for you to recuperate, anyway, the Princess's Mansion is not far away." Princess An said.
"Do you remember what I told you before, you must be polite when you see your grandmother, even if your grandmother says something, you don't care, the sisters in the house can get along more if they like it, and it doesn't matter if you don't like it, anyway, we won't live in the Guogong Mansion in the future. Don't get angry with others and affect your body, you know? ”
"I know my mother, you don't have to worry, my grandmother was still good to me when I left, and my mother was worried about the third sister, I understand." A-Ning said intimately.
She knew that her mother and grandmother did not get along, and she had felt it since she was very young, although her grandmother was also kind to her, and now she thought that there was always a hint of caution in her words, and it was not always as close as she was to her third sister. And the relationship between her and her mother is more full of politeness, but there is no trace of family affection. And over the years, because her father has no children, every time her grandmother writes to her, she will talk about this topic with her father, which she saw by chance in his father's study. Although the concubine is not allowed to take concubines, it is not that other people are not allowed to serve him, but his father has been guarding his mother all these years, and as a daughter, she is naturally willing to see such a situation.
"Princess, Aning, we're here." The voice of the Yasukuni Gong sounded outside.
At this time, in addition to the ladies of the Guogong Mansion, the brothers of the Yasukuni Gong all came to greet their group.
