It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 79. Investigating Life Experience
Princess Shengping sneered, how can she be a father if she is not kind to her father? "

If Yang Shaoyuan hadn't confirmed his identity yet and was just a lady of a minister's family, Princess Shengping would at most laugh at the bad nature of men.

However, when Yang Shaoyuan became a member of the same family as her, then in her eyes, Yang Qian was equivalent to a traitor who had no royal family.

Raising the princess and treating the princess coldly is not a small crime.

Princess Shengping immediately asked Yang Shaoyuan, "Your boudoir name is Shaoyuan?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is true that the court lady also has the nickname Kang Ning."

Yang Shaoyuan looked calm.

She didn't know why the eldest princess suddenly became so interested in her affairs, but she just answered truthfully.

Princess Shengping muttered to herself, "Kang Ning, that's the alias she used. It seems that it should be."

Yang Shaoyuan was puzzled, and was about to say something more, when Princess Shengping took the jade pendant from her waist and explained word by word, "It is the relic of Empress Zhaode, and it was given to her by His Majesty as a birthday present back then. How did you get this jade pendant?"

Empress Zhaode has been missing for seven months. If she is really pregnant for ten months, the timing will be a bit wrong. No one will be able to afford the crime of confusing the royal blood.

Yang Shaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, why did Aunt Lin give her a jade pendant of Empress Zhaode?Repeatedly told her to wear it, what exactly was it for?
Under the scorching gaze, Yang Shaoyuan tried to answer calmly, "This is a gift from my aunt."

"Your aunt? What's her name?"

Princess Shengping took the jade pendant but did not return it.

Empress Zhaode's things appeared on an aunt of the Hou's mansion, and nine out of ten, she was the female official Wenxin who left at the beginning.

It's just that, with royal blood, why did Wenxin take her to the Marquis Mansion to be raised?

The fog inside makes people dizzy, and Princess Shengping always feels that there is another world.

Yang Shaoyuan shook his head regretfully, "I never knew my aunt's name. My father said that my aunt was an ordinary girl who saved him back then and gave birth to my child before she was able to enter the mansion."

"Ah!"

Princess Shengping seemed to be smiling, but Yang Qian was indeed an insider. While Yang Shaoyuan was unconscious, she asked people to check Yang Shaoyuan's affairs from childhood to adulthood, and found that something was wrong with her biological mother, Aunt Lin.

He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and seems to have a deep affection for Empress Zhaode.

Such a person doesn't look like an ordinary person at first glance.

Yang Shaoyuan didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the eldest princess's gourd, so he asked her in an uncertain tone, "Eldest princess, this minister's behavior is all because of my own impulse, and there is no one else to order her."

To be honest, when she saw the assassin, she felt nervous, and the last knife block was her subconscious behavior.

Strange to say, she always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Emperor Longtai.

After confirming some conjectures, Princess Shengping treated Yang Shaoyuan more kindly, and she smiled, "Little girl, your luck lies ahead."

The treasure left over from the sea, once found, is noble and extraordinary.

Yang Shaoyuan thought that Princess Dachang was talking about a reward for his meritorious service in saving him, and his face was indifferent, "My servant saved His Majesty's life by chance, and others can do it. My servant can't say that I have made great contributions."

The Imperial Guards and Imperial Forest Army were at the scene, without her, there were others escorting them.

Princess Shengping laughed loudly, "Good boy, take good care of your wounds, this princess is watching over here, no one dares to treat you badly."

Empress Nalan and Concubine Nalan wanted to deal with Yang Shaoyuan, but they also had to weigh the weight of Princess Shengping.

Princess Shengping prayed for blessings for the country, but she was not soft-tempered to be bullied.

Yang Shaoyuan pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

……

Piandian
Xiao Yue, who claimed to be recuperating from his illness, appeared here, and the person sitting there was no surprise that he was Emperor Longtai.

He stared at Xiao Yue's slightly haggard and pale face due to illness, his heart softened, and his tone was somewhat concerned, "Yue Zhi, take good care of your body, don't worry about it."

Xiao Yue's illness was not very serious, most likely it was a relapse of an old disease. In the early years, Xiao Yue traveled to various kingdoms to fight endlessly. While outsiders praised his heroic appearance, no one knew that Xiao Yue suffered from a wound that was difficult to heal.

Emperor Longtai used Xiao Yue, true and false, false and true, at this time, the truth prevailed.

Xiao Yue bowed respectfully, "I'm fine, I'm sorry for your Majesty's concern."

Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and go away like silkworms. His problem is a relapse of an old problem, and he will be fine once he takes care of it.

Seeing that Xiao Yue didn't take it seriously, Emperor Longtai seldom reminded him in an emphatic tone, "Minor injuries have accumulated, and you will be seriously ill in the future. If you want to go to the battlefield again, there is nothing you can do."

As the adopted son of Wu Mingcheng, Xiao Yue learned deeply from an early age.When others were playing, he was silently studying the art of war with his hand in his hand.

His status today is entirely due to his own hard work. Of course, it is inseparable from the opportunity given to him by the title of adopted son of Wu Mingcheng.

Putting aside all kinds of things, Emperor Longtai admired a junior like Xiao Yue very much.

Xiao Yue's expression did not change, "Your Majesty ordered that I will not hesitate to do anything. One day, I will no longer be the person Your Majesty needs, and I will leave."

Originally, the relationship between him and Emperor Longtai was mostly cooperation, Daxing couldn't stay, and he also had the capital to save his life.

"You!" Emperor Longtai shook his head, "Don't talk about your stubborn temper. Do you know about Yuan Yuan's life experience?"

Before this, Xiao Yue had met Yang Shaoyuan several times, but Xiao Yue was stunned by Emperor Longtai without revealing a word.

Emperor Longtai, who was suffering from not knowing how to get along with his new daughter-in-law, properly vented his anger on Xiao Yue at this time.

Why didn't he say it sooner?He can also have a mental preparation in advance.

Xiao Yue said frankly, "The empress passed away for 14 years, and the children left behind are not entrusted to His Majesty to be raised, but let others take care of them. Why did the Empress choose to do so?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Longtai choked and was speechless.

Mingming Emperor Longtai is the husband of Empress Zhaode, and Yang Shaoyuan is his flesh and blood. Because of emotion and reason, Empress Zhaode should not leave the child in the care of the minister's house.

Unless, she has concerns in her heart, does not want her daughter to be harmed by others, and deliberately protects her.

In other words, Empress Zhaode did not trust Emperor Longtai to protect Yang Shaoyuan wholeheartedly.

Looking at it now, Empress Zhaode may not be worrying unfoundedly, Empress Nalan is aggressive, Concubine Nalan is superficial and domineering, who in the harem really treats Yang Shaoyuan well?
Princess Shouan's illness was not an accident.The heart is sinister, and the backyard is deep.Without the protection of her mother, even if Yang Shaoyuan lived in the palace since she was a child, who can guarantee her a happy life?

Emperor Longtai thought of many things that had happened in the past 14 years, and sighed, with a look of shame on his face, "I owed Ah Xian."

Empress Zhaode had resentment in her heart, Xiao Yue could see this more clearly than Emperor Longtai.Emperor Longtai did not want to understand Empress Zhaode's state of mind just because he was in this mountain.

But Xiao Yue knew that Empress Zhaode had no righteousness to him, but she had affection.She is a gentle and kind woman who even takes good care of the minister's children.

Xiao Yue is young and mature, and is out of tune with his friends of the same age around him, but Empress Zhaode treats him with no care.

Ever since he was orphaned and displaced at a young age, he was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the cycle of life and death, and the fickleness of the world.

Empress Zhaode was also the best person to him besides Wuming City.He will repay this kindness.

But Xiao Yue refused to let go, "You didn't let the queen down, but you betrayed the queen. Back then, the queen didn't want you to accept Concubine Liang into the East Palace at all. You insisted on going your own way, and the queen's words were not pleasant, so you were left out in the cold The queen, I think she is not virtuous and not suitable to be a princess. The queen is the jewel in the palm of Duke Wen Ding, how could she have been wronged like this? She knows that the royal family is the least likely to promise her a promise of being a couple for life, but she fell into it without hesitation. Go in, and what you do, isn’t it for your eternal dominance? From the beginning to the end, you have been sorry to the queen, and you have never understood her in the heart of the queen.”

After a long series of words, Xiao Yue was relieved.

There is a difference between monarchs and ministers. He has held these words in his heart for many years. However, with the revelation of Yang Shaoyuan's life experience, Emperor Longtai's attitude changed accordingly. He had to say some things in advance.

Empress Zhaode has never been sorry to Emperor Longtai. It was Emperor Longtai who betrayed Empress Zhaode and agreed to stay together forever. In the end, she changed her mind and accepted too many women into the East Palace, which finally led to the death of Empress Zhaode's mother and son.

Ask yourself, if Empress Zhaode was still alive, would she be so deeply missed and appreciated by him?
Old and decrepit, beautiful and withered, probably Empress Zhaode died at her best age, which can be regarded as a decent ending.

Emperor Longtai moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and swallowed everything back into his stomach.

He really liked A-Xian, and he had told Duke Wen Ding that she was the only woman in his life. However, the rising star of the Nalan family was very powerful in the court, so he had to think of ways to win him over.

Anyway, A-Xian was his beloved wife, princess, and empress from the beginning to the end.

Originally he thought that A-Xian would be considerate of him, however, A-Xian lost his temper with him for the first time, thinking that he had betrayed her and refused to accept it.He persuaded a few words in soft words, but A-Xian couldn't listen, and even became angry, planning to speak the truth in front of his father.

He was aroused and said some harsh words to her.

For the next few days, he never stepped into A'Xian's yard, thinking that he doted on A'Xian too much, which made her lose her duty as a wife.

What's next...

Emperor Longtai smiled wryly, "Ah-Xian... from the very beginning, I shouldn't have married you, and I've caused you to die with hatred. I didn't protect my son, so you don't even plan to tell me about your daughter, you want her to stay away. Royal family, live this life safely and securely. I was wrong. If I didn’t marry so many women, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

It is very rare for a high-ranking emperor to personally apologize and say that he was wrong.

Xiao Yue was unmoved, and it was too late when he said he was sorry after the death of Empress Zhaode.

"Miss Yang's mother, Aunt Lin, was Wenxin, the queen's female official."
