The general's wife through time

Chapter 331 Eunuch Li’s Son
"Sir, don't joke. Old Li has made great contributions in the east this time. When he returns to the capital, I will arrange for them to recognize each other as father and son. By then, I will let Old Li retire with a generous reward and return to the Xianwang Mansion with your grandson to accompany you, so that you can share the joy of family. So, now uncle, you know why I want to place you in that particularly quiet imperial manor, right? Because there are few people there, naturally there are no many people talking, and no one will spread any rumors."

Seeing the expression on Emperor Jing Kang's face that said "I am the smartest person in the world", the old prince glared at him fiercely, "If you are not lying to me, would you dare to tell me where the child is now and what his name is?"

Emperor Jing Kang pulled the old prince to sit down and said in a low voice: "It's the servant next to Qin Mingshu in the Wuwei Palace. His name is Zhui Guang."

The old prince murmured, "Time flies, and memories flow like flowing water."

Emperor Jing Kang immediately responded seamlessly, "Yes, I gave him this name to commemorate the brotherhood between me and Lao Li."

Emperor Jing Kang thought: I can put General Mu's naming wisdom to good use, and it will not be a waste for General Mu to give Zhui Guang such a good name.

Over the years, Lao Li had blocked countless attacks for him and given him many valuable suggestions. This time, he even nearly lost his life in Donglin City. He had made great contributions to the country. Now that the world was at peace and Lao Li was old, all he could do was to arrange the rest of Lao Li's life. Since Zhuiguang was his blood and he had confirmed that the child was not a bad one after observation for some time, he and the queen discussed and unanimously decided not to recognize Zhuiguang. So he quietly adopted Zhuiguang to Lao Li.

Emperor Jing Kang lowered his head and calmed down before continuing, "However, before Old Li returns to Beijing, Uncle Wang should not reveal the matter of chasing the light, because your Princess Pingning is not very peaceful and tranquil."

"I was talking about my grandson, why are you bringing Ping Ning up?" The old prince slammed the table angrily, "I know you've always looked down on Ping Ning because I didn't help you before, but our grudge, you're the king of a country, and you're taking your anger out on a little girl. If it gets out, aren't you afraid of being labeled petty?"

Emperor Jing Kang took out a stack of evidence from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the old prince. "Uncle, take a look for yourself. This is your good daughter. She has countless male favorites outside and instructs her subordinates to bully men and women in Jiangnan. Moreover, her relationship with the Dark Night Alliance is even better than that of the old princess... Because all her assassins are trained in the Dark Night Alliance, and their methods are ruthless, so even if she gets into trouble with blood debts, no one dares to say a word. But others don't say it doesn't mean that they don't know, so this is the fundamental reason why she has not been able to get married. Uncle, you don't have to spend so much effort to help her find a husband, no one in Dajing dares to marry her. But I have helped her find a good man because we are all a family, and that is the prince of Xirong, Yelu Kang. The people of Xirong are more generous and don't care about women's three obediences and four virtues, so Pingning will not be looked down upon if she marries there, and with Dajing as a strong backing, Xirong will not dare to treat her badly."

Having just robbed him of his house, now he's talking about the marriage as if their family had gotten a huge advantage!
Emperor Jing Kang didn't mean that no one dared to marry Ping Ning. It was obvious that he had a hidden meaning. What he meant was that if Ping Ning didn't marry a princess, she would never get married in her life.

But Ping Ning's handle is here, what can he do?

The old prince tore up the evidence in his hand, suppressed his anger with red eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty is indeed wise! I admire you!"

"Look, I told you that your praise was premature!" Emperor Jing Kang patted the old prince on the shoulder with a smug look on his face. "Since your uncle agrees, let's go back tonight and prepare for it. Let Pingning set off tomorrow morning! Ah, uncle, don't worry. Pingning's marriage represents the reputation of Dajing. I have asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare her dowry a long time ago. I will definitely not treat her unfairly."

Emperor Jing Kang, you bastard!
This was clearly designed long ago!

The old prince was so angry that his fists clenched until they made a creaking sound and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Emperor Jing Kang picked up the wine glass, touched the glass in front of the old prince with a smile, and said earnestly: "After Ping Ning leaves, your Xianwang Mansion will have no relationship with the Dark Night Alliance. I can let Lao Li and Zhuiguang go home without worry."

"May I ask, is Pingning really leaving tomorrow? Can it be a few days later? Her mother is not mentally prepared yet." The old prince gulped down the wine in his glass and looked at Emperor Jing Kang pleadingly.

"No, I have already promised Xirong. The crown prince of Xirong is waiting to marry the crown princess and then ascend the throne to be emperor. If Pingning marries him, she will be blessed to be the mother of the country."

Hearing this, the old prince's mouth twitched.

Mother's world!

He can thank your ancestors!
Do you think he is stupid? Xirong is a nomadic people, and their total population is only 50,000, which is less than the number of soldiers of the Qin army.

To go to a place like that and be the mother of the country, to put it bluntly, means to help the tribal leader herd sheep!
But when he thought about what his daughter had done, he gradually lost his confidence.

In order to make his words more convincing, Emperor Jing Kang added, "And this auspicious date was specially calculated by Master Mo Chou. Please give more advice when you return home, Uncle Wang. I hope that the Xianwang Mansion will put state affairs first."

After saying this, Emperor Jing Kang took out the imperial edict for marriage that he had written long ago.

The old prince: "..."

He only knew that his daughter was spoiled and overbearing before. Now that he knew that his daughter was so bold, he wanted to go home and teach her a lesson. He was also thinking about how to talk to the princess about this matter slowly, but His Majesty's attitude...

In order to completely sever ties with the Dark Night Alliance, and to allow his son and grandson to return home and live a peaceful life, and for the sake of the entire Prince Xian's Mansion, his daughter can no longer stay in the capital... Let her go to Xirong, it is still a way out after all.

Master Mochou, who was far away on Mount Hua, sneezed violently, and her face immediately darkened. The king of a country actually used her as a cover, which was enough!
……

Qin Mingyuan and his convoy slowly approached the east gate of the capital.

In the carriage, Qin Mingyuan made small talk: "Today, the third brother didn't write a letter. Aren't you worried?"

Xue Tang slowly turned a page of the "Crop Planting Encyclopedia" in his hand, "What's there to worry about? Aunt He must have arrived. His injured little heart has been comforted for the time being, so he won't bother me anymore."

"You knew that the Third Brother would not be able to bear the massacre of so many people, but you still threw them all to him to deal with. I don't believe you if you say it was not intentional."

Xue Tang admitted frankly, "Yes, I did it on purpose. People will not grow up in good times. Only when they experience the torment of darkness alone can they grow up slowly. Dongyi is a good opportunity for him to train. The ups and downs he experienced at the age of seventeen will benefit him for the rest of his life."

"Then why did you suggest that Aunt He go over?"

Xue Tang: "You have to experience wind and rain, but you can't torture them too hard at once. You still have to take some protective measures during the seedling stage, otherwise they will be blown crooked by the strong wind and cause psychological trauma, and they won't be able to thrive in the future."

As soon as the convoy entered the city gate, Xiaobai stuck his head out and saw the civil and military officials headed by the prince at the city gate, and even the red carpet, flowers, and singing and dancing prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

Xiaobai and Tengshe both perked up.

Faced with such a grand welcoming ceremony, they cannot lose momentum.

The prince nodded slightly to the Minister of Rites beside him, indicating that he could play music and dance.

At this moment, a burst of crying suddenly came from the direction of the west gate, which was heartbreaking and inhumane.
