White Hedge Dream

Chapter 298 Epilogue 2

Although Princess Yongning is a six-year-old girl, no one present dared to treat her lightly.

Your Majesty now only has this princess, and she is the one who brought her up personally. Many times, His Majesty will hold the princess in his arms when going to court.

What's more, there are rumors like that now

Dongyang Hou looked even more nervous and saluted the woman: "Huang Shang Palace." He also saluted Princess Yongning and said, "The princess is here, the wedding will be busy and hasty, I am afraid."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Yongning waved her little hand: "Dongyang Hou, there is no need to panic. My father said that I lived in the Hou Mansion when I was a child, and this is also my grandmother's house."

Mrs. Dongyang Marquis hurriedly stepped forward: "At that time, I had the opportunity thanks to His Majesty's love. I really don't deserve this title."

Princess Yongning looked at Huang Shanggong beside her. Huang Shanggong smiled at her and shook his head.

Princess Yongning no longer insisted on this title. She looked at Dongyang Hou and his wife and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince is getting married today, so I came here specially to take a look."

After saying that, he extended his hand to the chamberlain.

She was still young and the car was so tall that she couldn't even get out of the car.

The chambermaid hurriedly stretched out his hands to take her down, then knelt down to adjust the princess's dress.

There were two other chamberlains supporting Huang Shanggong - this one was responsible for educating the princess since she was a child, and was named Shanggong by his majesty. The princess called her teacher, and the emperor also respected her.

"No need to be polite." Princess Yongning said. The little person held his neck, pretended to be an adult, and walked slowly inside, "I want to meet the newcomer."

Dongyang Hou and his wife looked at Huang Shang Palace again. Dongyang Hou's wife still had an impression of this woman. At that time, she was holding the princess and living together in Zhou Jingyun's courtyard. She only had a vague impression. Perhaps she had not seen her many times at that time. times, I also deliberately forgot.

Huang Shanggong said with a smile: "Madam Marquis, please don't let down the princess's kindness." After saying that, he followed Princess Yongning first.

Marquis Dongyang and his wife had no choice but to follow them in.

Watching the group of people disappear at the door, the crowd on the street outside the door suddenly became loud.

"It's Princess Yongning."

"I can't see it, I'm too small."

"Nonsense, Princess Yongning is only six years old."

"Have you heard? Princess Yongning may be crowned the crown prince."

"That's nonsense. The princes are all men. How can the princess be the prince?"

"This is not because His Majesty has no male heir."

There were a lot of discussions outside, but the people who came to the banquet in the Hou Mansion were quiet.

Most of the people here have access to the palace, and His Majesty always keeps his love for the princess with him. The queen is not seen due to illness. During the holidays, the emperor does not let other concubines preside over the harem. Instead, Princess Yongning takes the place of the queen to entertain the wives. , almost everyone has seen Princess Yongning.

But it was indeed the first time to see Princess Yongning leave the palace.

After all, the emperor only had this daughter, and he had no other concubines in the past five years.

From this point of view, it is a bit difficult for the heirs of the Li royal family. Previously, King Changyang made a joke about pretending to be a prince, so although she is a daughter, she is still her biological child and she is cherished like a jewel.

People were thinking a lot. Over there, Princess Yongning had already walked up to Zhou Jingyun and the newlyweds, looking up curiously.

"Everyone says that Prince Dongyang is a very beautiful person." She said, "He is indeed very good-looking."

Zhou Jingyun leaned over and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment, princess. Zhou Jingyun has met the princess." After saying that, he looked at Huang Shanggong aside and said, "I have met Madam."

Huang Shanggong smiled, nodded, and looked at the woman beside him. Princess Yongning also looked over. The two of them looked at her face, and their expressions seemed a little frozen.

The woman laughed first.

"You can talk whatever you want." The woman smiled, stretched out her white hand under the red dress, waved gently, and then extended it to Huang Shanggong, "Teacher."

Huang Ru held her hand, her voice choked with sobs: "Ali, it's great to see you again."

Probably from the moment the woman spoke, Princess Yongning felt that her surroundings had become stagnant, and the people watching and her vision were all blurry.

Only the two women holding hands in front of him were clear.

"Do you also call her teacher?" Princess Yongning asked curiously.

Bai Li looked at her: "Yes, she is also my teacher."

Princess Yongning said oh and looked at her: "Father, you are my aunt?"

Bai Li snorted and said to Huang Ru, "He doesn't hide anything from her."

Huang Ru nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty is very attentive to the upbringing of the princess, and never deceives good things."

The good thing is that she is an aunt, and the bad thing is that Bai Ying is the biological mother, so she should hide it, right? Bai Li pursed her lips and smiled, knelt down and looked at Princess Yongning, and nodded: "Yes, I am your aunt." He pinched her cheek, "You were chubby when you were a child, why are you thin now? Is it because you don't take good care of yourself? To eat? A picky eater?”

Princess Yongning frowned: "Why don't you praise me?"

Bai Li pouted: "Why should I praise you? You are a princess and you still need no one to praise you?"

The maids and ladies in the harem around her all praised her when they saw her, and no one dared to say a bad word about her.

Although the teacher was strict, he mostly corrected her behavior and never reprimanded her.

If you put it this way, there is indeed no shortage of praise.

Princess Yongning nodded: "Okay, you are right." After that, she looked at her face again and said, "I have dreamed about you."

Bai Li suddenly smiled and took a step closer: "Children are amazing. They can still make impressions at such a young age. Tell me what you dream about me. Did you go to all the trouble to hold you with care, put you to sleep, feed you and feed you?"

Hey, it’s not easy to take care of children.

Princess Yongning looked at her: "I dreamed that you were scaring me, making faces, and poking my face."

Bai Li glared: "You kid, you don't remember good things."

Looking at the two people staring at each other, Huang Ru smiled and pulled Bai Li up, and then held Princess Yongning's hand. "Okay, we've seen what we need to see, we've said what we need to say, don't miss the right moment."

After the interruption, the couple's ceremony continued. Princess Yongning still stayed here to watch the ceremony. Although she was accompanied by a maid, there were many people and children at the wedding. Princess Yongning was only a five or six-year-old child after all, so she couldn't help but squeeze in. Go among the children and grab some wedding candies.

The guests' attention also turned to Princess Yongning.

"Have you heard?" A lady whispered, "Princess Yongning is going to be the crown prince."

The women here are all well-informed and were not surprised when they heard this, they just exchanged glances.

"But, she is a princess after all. This has never happened-"

"Yes, can a woman inherit the throne?"

"Why not? Didn't Empress Chiang intend to become emperor back then—"

"Ahem, don't talk about the past. Besides, Princess Yongning is your Majesty's bloodline."

"Yes, so His Majesty said that if he can't give birth to a son, is he going to give the family property to others? He obviously has a daughter, but he has been quarreling with the ministers for a year. I think he can't stand it anymore."

The women were talking in low voices, and news came from outside. Several important ministers rushed over. Because they heard that Princess Yongning was coming, they were sullen, worried and dissatisfied. Young Master Dongyang had to go to deal with it again, and Princess Yongning was also persuaded. He got into the car and left reluctantly, and then the courtiers also left.

Although the princess left, the discussion among the people in Dongyang Hou Mansion became more lively.

"These people are here. It shows that they really want to treat Princess Yongning as a prince."

"Otherwise there would be no need to be so careful."

"Oh, I can't imagine that there will be a female emperor."

"Perhaps everyone is following the emperor's wishes. After all, His Majesty is still young and has many concubines. He may have given birth to a son."

"Take a step and talk about it."

"Yeah, no matter what, Zhou Jingyun got married and Princess Yongning came, which shows Long En."

"Yes, without His Majesty's permission, can Princess Yongning's little child leave the palace?"

The little Princess Yongning did not go back to the palace directly. When the carriage approached the imperial city, she got off the carriage, was carried by a chamberlain and got into a small carriage. Surrounded by the guards, she ran towards the city again. For once, I didn't take the main street, but walked through several alleys and entered a teahouse.

Pushing open the window at the highest point of the teahouse, you can see the bustling street.

It was dusk, but the confetti and flowers left by the wedding procession on the street were still spread all over the ground, shining brightly, and people continued to rush towards the Dongyang Marquis Mansion on the street.

"Go quickly, the flowing banquet at the Dongyang Marquis Mansion will be held until midnight today."

"Not just today, three days in a row."

"Then I'm going to eat in these three days to save money."

Listening to the noise coming from below, the young man standing by the window couldn't help but smile.

"Father—" The door behind him was pushed open, a childish voice sounded.

Li Yu turned around and looked at Princess Yongning, who was running towards her, with a bigger smile: "Have you seen her?"

Princess Yongning ran to him and opened her hands, and Li Yu picked her up skillfully.

"I see, the prince is very good-looking." Princess Yongning said, "Auntie, just like in the dream, she bullied me."

Li Yu reached out and pinched her nose: "She's not bullying you. She doesn't know how to take care of children because she has never been a child since she was a child."

Princess Yongning, a child, couldn't understand these words, so she said, "So my aunt was born as an adult."

Li Yu laughed, feeling that this was wrong, but it was also right. Bai Li had been without a mother since she was born, and with such a physical constitution, no one treated her as a child, and she did not have a carefree childhood.

"Is the wedding lively?" he asked, changing the subject.

Princess Yongning nodded repeatedly: "It's lively, there are so many people, so much fun, so much delicious food."

In fact, her food and clothing expenses are among the best in the world, but for children, the people and things outside are still attractive.

Li Yu smiled: "Actually, my wedding was also very lively."

Princess Yongning asked curiously: "Is it the wedding of my father and my mother? Did I attend?"

"Of course I participated." Li Yuxiao said, "It's a pity that you were too young at that time and could only sleep. You didn't see anything delicious, drinkable or fun. Besides, my father, I also sang and danced."

Princess Yongning's eyes were filled with regret and annoyance: "Oh, I really love to sleep. No wonder Taifu always nags me, but I still don't want to listen. It seems that I really need to change."

She had already started her enlightenment last month, and she invited all the courtiers who were highly respected, knowledgeable and talented.

This is to let everyone understand at a glance that she was trained as a crown prince and does not really require her to study diligently now.

Li Yu smiled slowly: "Don't worry, you are still young. If you are sleepy now, just sleep. But when you are older, you won't be able to do whatever you want."

Princess Yongning hugged Li Yu's neck and said, "Father is so kind to me."

Li Yu patted her and said softly: "This is also me doing good to me."

He also raised himself when raising the princess. Although he was luckier than Bai Li, he also suddenly grew up at a very young age and could no longer be a child.

After all the running, she was a little tired. Princess Yongning yawned, hugged Li Yu's neck, and closed her eyes as he patted her.

Li Yu looked in the direction of Dongyang Hou Mansion. The twilight dissipated, the night curtain opened, and the lights were bright. He looked at it quietly for a moment, then turned away and walked away.

It doesn't matter, he also had a wedding.

Over the years, he would often dream about that wedding. He was very happy in the dream and happy when he woke up.

A dream is a dream, but it is also real because it really happened.

As Bai Li said, even if those people left, they still existed. If they existed, they are real, that is, they will always be there.
