Chapter 341: Return to the Tang Family
Luo Yunshuang instantly understood what Ning Qi meant, Prince Ning would not come to see the princess, instead of letting Princess Ning look forward to an unattainable love here, it was better to let her go back to the Tang family, with Zhen Guogong and General Tang and others by her side, the love of family will definitely reduce the pain in her heart.
The princess was silent for a while, and smiled a little bleakly, "Qi'er, you went to find him, right?" ”
Ning Qi was silent and did not speak. Princess Ning continued, "He still doesn't want to come......"
"Mother, don't wait for him, his heart is not on you, it's not worth it."
Luo Yunshuang pulled Lan Ningqi's arm and motioned for him to stop talking. How could Princess Ning not understand these truths? It's just that when a person falls in love, there is no way to control himself with reason and reason.
"Mother, my husband is right, you and your uncle will go home together! Grandpa is old, and he knows that you are sick, he must be very worried. If you live in the Tang family, you can also talk and chat with your grandfather! Luo Yunshuang didn't seem to be hit by the news that Prince Ning was not coming, and said with a smile, "Besides, with my uncle and them taking care of you, Xianggong and I are also very relieved." Of course, you live in the Tang family, we will go to see you every day, and I hope that my uncle will not dislike it when the time comes. ”
Princess Ning understood the hard work of the two of them, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the Tang family." ”
Princess Ning fell in love with Prince Ning at first sight from the first time she met him, but at the same time, she also knew very well in her heart that Prince Ning loved other women deeply and had no feelings for her. Over the years, Princess Ning has also become more aware that Prince Ning will never fall in love with her.
This realization made her painful, helpless, and hesitant, but in the end, she gradually calmed down. Although she is destined not to get a man's heart, she still has two children by her side, Qi'er and Shuang'er, instead of looking forward to an unattainable love, it is better to calm down and enjoy other beautiful things in life.
Shuang'er is right, her father is already old. How many years can I stay with him? It's better to take this opportunity to accompany my father well. For so many years, she unilaterally broke off relations with the Tang family, which must have made her father very sad. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. If you really wait until that day to repent, wouldn't it be too late?
Princess Ning seemed to want to open up in an instant, and said to Ning Qi, "After I leave, you two must also take good care of yourself." Qi'er, do everything according to your own heart, don't be too wronged yourself. Do you understand? ”
Ning Qi nodded heavily, "My son can save it." ”
Tang Linkun brought a carriage here, and he didn't need to prepare anything more from King Ning's mansion, so he only asked Princess Ning to put on an extra cloak, and then took Yan Yan back to Tang's house.
Watching the carriage drift away, Ning Qi held Luo Yunshuang's hand tightly, Luo Yunshuang knew the grief in his heart, and comforted softly, "Xianggong, the concubine has already thought about it, don't worry too much." Eight times out of ten, things in life are not as good as they should be. Ninth, love is only a part. The fortunate husband and wife are in harmony with each other, the unfortunate look like they are in the same bed and have different dreams, and there are countless people who have been confused all their lives, and they don't even have a favorite person. In this respect, the mother concubine is actually happy, isn't she? ”
Ning Qi looked at her deeply and said, "Shuang'er, having you by my side in this life is my greatest happiness." ”
Luo Yunshuang leaned her head on Ning Qi's shoulder and said softly, "I'm also very happy, it's good that you found me." ”
Ning Qi thought for a while and said, "The things over there are almost ready, and when the matter on my father's side is over, we will go back, are you willing to accompany me?" ”
"We are husband and wife, of course I am willing to accompany you." Luo Yunshuang solemnly promised, "Besides, we originally belonged there, and sooner or later we will have to go back." ”
After thinking about it, she said with some sorrow, "But don't you need the help of Lord Ning?" What if he keeps refusing to forgive you? ”
"Father's help is only an external help. Even if I didn't, I would definitely go back. Regarding the matter of Concubine Jiang and the old princess, you and I have a clear conscience. If my father really resents me about this, then I can't do anything about it. ”
Seeing that Ning Qi was not too worried about losing Prince Ning's help, Luo Yunshuang breathed a sigh of relief.
She held Ning Qi's hand and said in high spirits, "Even if there is no help from Lord Ning, there is nothing, you still have me!" I will always be there for you! ”
Ning Qi smiled, raised her hand and put a strand of Luo Yunshuang's hair hanging down behind her ear, and said softly, "It's windy, let's go back!" ”
For the next period of time, Ning Qi was still leaving early and returning late, and Luo Yunshuang knew that he was in full swing to make arrangements for returning to Qianlu. And she didn't have anything important, so she went to the Tang family every day to visit Princess Ning.
As for Ning Wangye's side, there was no news from the other courtyard, and Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang no longer took the initiative to look for him, and they were safe for a while.
Prince's Mansion.
"Prime Minister, what do you say this palace should do now?" Prince Ning Huaiyuan was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around the hall constantly, asking Prime Minister Jiang Cheng who was sitting in the chair like a helper.
On the day of the wedding, Su Qinglan made a fool of herself and could not continue to be the prince's concubine. But this did not affect the alliance between the crown prince and Prime Minister Jiang Cheng.
Because of all the things that Su Qinglan, Concubine Jiang and the old princess did, Prime Minister Jiang knew that it was already a fool's dream to reconcile with Ning Qi. Since he can't be a friend, he can only be an enemy, but he himself is weak and is not Ning Qi's opponent, so he needs to find a stronger alliance.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been worried that the emperor will abolish his crown prince and establish Ning Qi as the crown prince, with the return of Prince Ning to Beijing, this worry has become more and more intense. Ning Huaiyuan wanted to keep his position as the crown prince, and Prime Minister Jiang wanted to overthrow Ning Qi and keep the Jiang family's eternal favor, so the two hit it off and reached an alliance.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry too much for the time being." Prime Minister Jiang pondered for a while and said, "Yin'er told me that although Prince Ning has returned to Beijing, he is haunted by the fact that his little daughter was given death, and he refuses to forgive Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang, and he didn't even go back to Ning Wangfu to live, but took Yin'er to live in another courtyard. Now that Prince Ning is very sad, he has no heart to help Ning Qi compete with His Royal Highness for the position of crown prince. ”
Concubine Jiang was given to death, wasn't it because she drugged Su Qinglan, causing the royal family to lose face? How could Uncle Wang blame Ning Qi and Luo Yunshuang for this incident?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little surprised for a while, and immediately understood, it seems that he is not the only one who regards Ning Qi as a threat! When Ning Qi was sick, everyone tacitly knew that as soon as Ning Qi died, Ning Xiaowangye's position must be Ning Yin's, but now that Ning Qi has recovered, Ning Yin's hope is gone, how can he be willing?
Uncle Wang's favorite woman is Concubine Jiang, and now that Concubine Jiang is dead, he must have more pity for Concubine Jiang's son, so now what Ning Yin says in front of Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang will not doubt it.
Ning Huaiyuan was happy for a while, and then he became worried again, no matter what, the friction between Ning Wang Ye and Ning Qi was just a family matter, and besides, Concubine Jiang's death was her own fault, and Ning Qi couldn't be blamed at all, Uncle Wang could know all this as long as he investigated a little. There is no overnight feud between father and son, although they are making a big quarrel now, maybe one day they will be reconciled again, and when the time comes, it will not be his crown prince who is threatened? He can't get carried away because of the momentary benefits in front of him, and it is only right to take precautions!
"But it won't last long! Once Uncle Wang learns the truth, let alone reconcile with Ning Qi at that time, I'm afraid that Ning Yin will have no right to speak in front of him! At that time, Uncle Wang and Ning Qi will unite, will there be a way for you and me to live? Prime Minister, we can't be too happy! ”
Prime Minister Jiang nodded and said, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, and he is still careless at this time!" In the emperor's heart, Ning Qi is much more important than you princes, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to finally ascend to the throne, I'm afraid he will have to use some extraordinary means! ”
When the prince heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "What does the prime minister mean by this?" You're not going to want me to ......."
"Shh Prime Minister Jiang looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said to Ning Huaiyuan, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands in his heart, this is not easy to say!" Let's look at the situation and then make plans! The old minister heard that the emperor will drink with Prince Ning in the imperial garden tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might as well take this opportunity to find out about Prince Ning's plans, if the matter really reaches the point of no return, then we can only make a desperate bet! ”
Ning Huaiyuan nodded with a deep face, "It's only like this, it's just that this matter is too important, and everything depends on the prime minister!" ”
Prime Minister Jiang said humbly, "The prince is serious, the old minister is also planning for the Jiang family, I want the old minister to be loyal all his life, but in the end, the whole family will be affected because the little girl offended Ning Xiaowangye, and the old minister will never allow this to happen!" The honor and disgrace of the Jiang family are all tied to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the old minister will definitely do his best for His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Ning Huaiyuan was overjoyed, and took two steps forward to personally help Prime Minister Jiang Cheng, "Prime Minister, please get up quickly, with the Prime Minister's words, the palace will rest assured!" ”
Ningwangfu Annex.
In the dimly lit hall, there was a strong smell of alcohol everywhere. Ning Wangye waved his hand drunken and hazy, and several empty wine jars beside him rolled down, and the man in the hall saw this scene and opened his mouth with a crying voice to persuade, "Father, don't drink!" If you don't care for your body so much, your mother will be distressed in the spirit of heaven......"
"Yin'er, come here," Prince Ning spoke. There was another strong smell of wine, Ning Yin hurriedly walked to his side when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to help him, "Father, ......"
"You say," Prince Ning leaned all the weight of his body on Ning Yin's body, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Is your mother really sick?" Qi'er came to me today, saying that your mother had a cold and didn't get better for a few days, do you think this will be true? ”
Ning Yin was stunned in his heart, thought for a while, and said tentatively, "Father, don't you believe what the eldest brother said? ”
"Hmph, your eldest brother ......" Prince Ning waved his hand indiscriminately, and said with some irritation, "Your eldest brother has been confused by Luo Yunshuang's woman, and this king doesn't know if what he said is true or not, Yin'er, what do you see?" ”
Ning Yin looked at Prince Ning's expression, he was indeed drunk, so he said cautiously, "This ...... The son doesn't know either, but the eldest brother now is very different from the past, and it is difficult to guarantee that he did not deliberately say this in order to let his father go back to the palace to live......"
Prince Ning snorted heavily and said, "This king has this suspicion, and now even you say so, it seems that it must be true!" Qi'er really disappointed this king! ”
When Ning Yin heard this, he said more and more respectfully, "Father, the hour is not early, I will help you go back to your room to rest!" ”
"Hmm." Prince Ning nodded, "I have to rest early, and I have to go to the palace tomorrow to see the emperor, this king must find out about this matter......"
