The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 199 Peonies Blooming 2
However, according to his ancestral teachings, the princes who have been stationed in the fief are not allowed to return to the capital privately, nor can they bring troops into the capital when they return to the capital.

This time, although King Suqing was summoned by himself, the soldiers could not be brought into Beijing.

Although King Suqing was very dissatisfied with the fact that he could not bring troops into the capital, but there was indeed such a rule. If the Northwest hadn't caused more than half of his casualties, he would have surrounded the capital long ago by joining forces with the old and central dynasties and the princes.

It can only be said that heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes.

However, King Suqing was still not reconciled, and he would not lead troops if he did not lead them. He did not believe that he was the emperor's uncle or the regent. What could Xiao Xuanyu, a little boy, do to him.

If he dared to touch the emperor's uncle, the spittle of the people in the world could drown him.

When King Suqing returned to Beijing, he first pretended to go to the imperial mausoleum and cried a lot, then wiped away his tears and "turned grief into strength" to help Xiao Xuanyu assist the government.

However, Xiao Xuanyu handled the government affairs extremely well, and there was nothing wrong with the regent at all.However, there are often disasters for him to deal with, and he is often forced to donate in the hall.

The regent has not been in power for a few days, but the money in his pocket is getting less and less.

King Su Qing had completely given up after walking around the palace, Xiao Xuanyu was no longer the soft nephew he knew well in the past.His demeanor has long faded from immaturity, he is in charge of his own affairs, and does not need anyone to assist him.

During this period, Xiao Xuanyu had a special banquet for King Su Qing, which made King Su Qing feel uneasy because he thought he wanted to avenge his personal revenge.

Unexpectedly, that dinner was purely a reminiscence.

Xiao Xuanyu said that during this period of time, it was thanks to King Suqing's generosity, which is a great compliment to him.He also talked about some things about his childhood, saying that if the late emperor's country hadn't been for the great help of King Su Qing back then, there would be no late emperor and no self.

In the past, the late emperor and King Suqing were in the same party, and King Qingqing helped the late emperor ascend the throne. Although the late emperor didn't treat him badly, he still had a gap in his heart and made his fief far away.These are thorns in the heart of Qing Qing Wang.Everyone hates the feeling of not being trusted.

However, after several decades, Xiao Xuanyu took the initiative to mention this matter, saying that what the former queen said was that King Su Qing was sent away to make King Su Qing live better, and there were many turmoil in Beijing, so it was not easy for King Su Qing to leave with him When it came to the throne, he didn't want King Suqing to go to such a far away fiefdom.

However, after so many years in Beijing, they have already made countless enemies.Some people, the more the emperor wanted to protect them, the more he couldn't protect them.

Their enemies couldn't deal with the emperor, so they would inevitably attack those around him.He didn't want to clear up the king's affairs, and he didn't want his closest brother to be in trouble, so he reluctantly sent him away.

In fact, sometimes staying away from the government is not a bad thing.

Xiao Xuanyu spoke to King Suqing sincerely, if the former emperor hadn't let King Suqing leave, now, is he sure he can still live?How many princes are alive in the court?Except for King Qingqing, there is no one else.

After Xiao Xuanyu said this, King Suqing suddenly seemed to understand, all the misunderstandings about his brother were resolved at this moment.

Regardless of whether the first emperor meant that, anyway, what Xiao Xuanyu said made King Su Qing feel much better.As the emperor, Xiao Xuanyu talked about his uncle, and the intimacy he showed to him made King Qing Qing, who once wanted to drive him to death, suddenly felt guilty.

Xiao Xuanyu had a heart-to-heart talk with him, saying that there is little family affection in the palace, but the emperor's uncle and the first emperor were born of the same mother, and seeing the emperor's uncle was like seeing the first emperor, which made him get closer and made him reluctant to part with the same.

He didn't want their uncle and nephew to take a hostile position, and he didn't want the relatives around him to leave one by one.Speaking of emotion, his throat choked up, and King Suqing was even more moved.

Perhaps as people get older, they yearn for family affection even more.

And Xiao Xuanyu brought back his memories, he also fought against the late emperor, those years were also spent in intrigue and anxiety.But after going to the fiefdom, although life is not as good as that of the imperial palace, he still has no worries about food and clothing, and his body and mind are also very comfortable.

Xiao Xuanyu said that when the first emperor left, he still couldn't forget the emperor's uncle, saying that he was sorry for the emperor's uncle, and left the emperor's uncle alone in the fief.

When King Suqing heard this, he became more and more sad, and even wept.

That night, the uncle and nephew chatted until late at night, King Suqing was getting old, drunk and fell asleep like this after drinking and crying.

Xiao Xuanyu put down his wine glass, and stared blankly at King Su Qing.

Li Ping walked in, glanced at King Suqing, "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Xuanyu signaled him not to speak, but finally shook his head, and put his cloak on King Su Qing's shoulders.Opened the door and went out.

In fact, I made two-handed preparations, but when facing family affection, everything is insignificant.

Xiao Xuanyu used the family card to win over King Quqing, he thought it would be all for nothing, but the tearful face of King Quqing couldn't be lingered in Xiao Xuanyu's mind no matter what.

He suddenly felt a little sad. When he brought up other people's past, he couldn't help being touched.He stood on the high steps, looking at the palace in front of him in the dark. Once, he and Xiao Junyi went through life and death, but what about now?
What brought them to where they are today?
Xiao Xuanyu knew that it was not just because of Xiangyun.But why?

"Your Majesty, is King Su Qing like this? Don't you..." Li Ping hesitated to speak, but Xiao Xuanyu kept walking forward without speaking.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said don't want a woman's kindness."

Xiao Xuanyu also had the intention to kill, but now, there is no need.

He turned his head and said, "The emperor's uncle just returned to Beijing to pay tribute to his father, and he didn't do anything out of bounds, so that the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it. I only have such an emperor's uncle. I believe his heart is toward the court and toward me. , otherwise in the northwest, he would not have fought bravely to kill the enemy. You tell me to go down, King Suqing is drunk, so let him take good care of him, he is old, don't let him catch a cold."

Li Ping was surprised, why did the emperor soften his heart?But in the end, he didn't say anything, and bowed and retreated.However, when he turned around, he saw King Su Qing.

"My lord!" Li Ping was slightly startled.

Xiao Xuanyu turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that King Suqing took off the cloak that Xiao Xuanyu gave him, handed it to Li Ping, and then bowed down to Xiao Xuanyu, "I thank the emperor for his trust and love, but I am old and haven't been in the capital for many years. I don’t know anything about the affairs of the court, and I really can’t help the emperor to assist the government. I feel ashamed that I can’t help the emperor to share his worries. I also ask the emperor to resign and return to the fief. The emperor has nothing to worry about.”

"Uncle Huang, please get up quickly." Xiao Xuanyu hurriedly helped King Qing, but the other party insisted, "Please, Your Majesty, please help me."

"Even if you want to go back to Beijing, there is no rush. At this moment, tomorrow's nephew will let the emperor practice."

"The old minister is ashamed, so I won't bother the emperor. I will leave the palace. In this life, I will never set foot in the capital again. Please rest assured." King Suqing left with a big salute.

Xiao Xuanyu didn't stop him any more, but let Li Ping see him off, finally letting go of the big rock in his heart.King Suqing no longer threatens the court, and he does not have to meet his uncle in battle. What's more, with the current situation of the court, it is really not easy to fight civil war.

Xiao Xuanyu drove to Chunhua Palace, it was already late at night, except for those on duty, the rest of the palace had already gone to bed.

Seeing the emperor coming up, the palace servants hurriedly said, "Your maidservant, please go and inform the empress."

"If she is woken up, I will go by myself." Xiao Xuanyu said, walking towards the bedroom in a familiar way.

The hall was lit with faint candlelight, and Wushuang really fell asleep, and the little princess was sleeping beside her. Both mother and daughter were the same, always sticking their hands out of the quilt.

Xiao Xuanyu gently put their hands back into the quilt, looked at them, and felt very satisfied.After dealing with the difficult matter just now, everything suddenly became clear.

It would be great if there is no Xiao Junyi, Xiao Xuanyu is more and more unwilling to let go.Xiao Xuanyu knew the purpose of sending envoys over and over again. He wanted to kill the envoys a few times. Such a small country was so arrogant again and again.

If Xiao Junyi could stay in Qi State safely, not send envoys to harass them, and stop setting foot in Daliang, maybe Xiao Xuanyu would still consider making peace with Qi State.But now this situation is impossible.

Xiao Junyi kept asking him to return his wife Mu Wushuang, Xiao Xuanyu was annoyed when the envoy said this.The first emperor had already annulled their marriage, she was no longer Xiao Junyi's wife, she was his concubine Heng, his Ajiu.

These days are the happiest time since Xiao Xuanyu became the emperor. He walks with Wushuang in the back garden every day. Although she forgot about the childhood, he told her everything about the past. He knew that she had something Impressive.

She smiled at him more, and she really felt very happy on such a day.He really wanted to go on like this forever, Wushuang and Yaoyao stayed by his side.

However, even if she is by his side, even if she smiles at him, he still clearly understands that the person in Wushuang's heart is not himself.She would still avoid his kisses, and since she gave birth to a child, she always slept with Yaoyao, and said that Yaoyao would not sleep with the respect room on the grounds that Yaoyao was fussy and afraid of disturbing the emperor.

If it was so obvious, everyone knew it was a lie, but Xiao Xuanyu didn't expose it.If she doesn't want to stay in bed, she shouldn't. It's a good thing that he doesn't go to her palace less, lest the queen mother be unhappy and the concubines have ideas.

If you can take a walk like this every day, that's fine.He doesn't have many extravagant hopes, he just wants to be together like this, that's fine.

Even if it's just to look at her, even if it can only show up after she's asleep.

As long as he thinks that she is Ah Jiu, and Ah Jiu is by his side, Xiao Xuanyu's heart will warm.The most anticipated thing for a long time, the thing called a miracle, has finally become a reality.

"Ah Jiu..." He softly called her name, and couldn't help touching her face lightly.

Wushuang was awakened by him accidentally, opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment, only to see that the person beside the bed was Xiao Xuanyu, and was about to get up, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Don't get up, go to sleep, I will leave after sitting down for a while." Xiao Xuanyu let her continue to sleep, Wushuang lay on the bed, seeing Xiao Xuanyu in a good mood, couldn't help but start to worry.She was worried about his old enemy, Xiao Junyi.
