Chapter 182 The Showdown Truth(1/2)
Chu Yunning reached out and touched Beibei, saying earnestly: "You are still young, and some things are not enough for you or I. It's an ordinary family. Your uncle is the king of a country. He has many forced things and cannot do whatever he wants."
"Why do you want to laugh at Uncle Emperor?" Beibei asked in confusion.
Chu Yunning smiled but refused to answer.
"Since the emperor is the king of a country, everyone will listen to him. Who dares to refute him as long as the emperor says he can?"
Beibei suddenly became a little serious, and put his head close to Chu Yunning's eyes, holding her arms tightly with both hands.
Helplessly, Chu Yunning had to explain seriously: "Because the emperor cannot have a laughing stock."
She is Princess Li, and this alone can't stop the civil and military officials, and even the censors will hold on to him.
"There are many things in life that cannot be perfect. The relationship my mother expects is wholeheartedly, and she cannot accept that there are many women around her future husband."
She is a modern person, and monogamy is deeply rooted. If the other party can't do it, she would rather be alone.
More importantly, Chu Yunning couldn't accept being a concubine.
Even if he is a concubine or a concubine, he looks like a legal destroyer.
Misses and four are immoral.
Beibei pouted, put his little head on Chu Yunning's shoulder, and listened to Chu Yunning's explanation: "Your uncle finally achieved what you have today. The supreme king in the hearts of the people in the south is respected by all the people. We cannot selfishly seek what others want to do."
"Mom..."
"Some things are exposed, and everyone will not be able to get along in the future." It would be better to get along in the way between the monarch and the minister.
As we were chatting, Bi Xiu walked in: "Miss, the emperor is rushing back. I guess we will arrive before dark. We can have a reunion together."
Chu Yunning touched Beibei's head, then smiled at Bixiu: "Are you ready for the New Year's goods?"
"Everyone has almost prepared. Everyone has a small red envelope, which contains amulets and New Year's money. Hundreds of sheep are ready."
Chu Yunning was worried about going to see it in person. Perhaps because he was infected with the atmosphere of the New Year, he even lit red lanterns in front of each camp.
evening
A large number of troops were stranded in the city, and only part of them came back. Emperor Mingwen rode his horse and his handsome outline gradually became clear.
"Miss, it's the emperor who is back!" Bi Xiu looked at Chu Yunning excitedly.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yunning's mouth, and he stood up and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for returning in triumphant return."
He saw people standing in the snow, wearing a white cloak, and the fluff in his neck blocked half of her little face. When he got closer, his eyes as bright as stars were particularly bright.
Turning over and dismounting, Emperor Mingwen handed the reins in his hand to the people behind him, turned his head to look at Chu Yunning.
"I haven't lost much weight in a few days."
When Chu Yunning heard this, he subconsciously reached out and touched his increasingly rounded cheeks. Eunuch Mo on the side also smiled: "Are you losing weight or the emperor carefully?"
The two of them sang and reconciled, and Chu Yunning said embarrassedly: "You don't have to worry about food and drink in the military camp, and you don't have much to worry about. How can you lose weight?"
Emperor Mingwen saw it when he came back just now. Except for a few traces of ammunition, the rest have returned to normal.
"If you hadn't discovered it in time, it would be hard to say that this victory or defeat is."
Everyone envied Emperor Mingwen for having a military advisor, and even he himself was more than once for his gratitude.
"You arranged the military camps, it looks very festive." Emperor Mingwen untied his cloak and walked towards the main camp, turning back and asking, "How is Beibei doing recently?"
"He is still the same, he can eat, drink and play."
Perhaps because he heard the voice of Emperor Mingwen, Beibei ran out of the camp behind him and grinned at Emperor Mingwen: "Uncle Emperor!"
Emperor Mingwen bent down and picked him up and hugged him in his arms, and said, "It's a little heavy. Can the homework assigned to you by the emperor be done well?"
"Of course there is, Beibei will not dare to leave for a day."
"The emperor will test you personally at that time."
Beibei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Emperor Mingwen held Beibei into the inner camp with his hands. Chu Yunning shouted behind him: "I have prepared the wine and food, and it will be ready for dinner in half an hour."
Before Emperor Mingwen turned around, he stretched out his hand and waved at Chu Yunning twice to show that he knew.
After holding Beibei into the inner camp, Emperor Mingwen couldn't wait to test Beibei's homework, and with a solemn face, he was very serious.
Beibei also answered meticulously.
"Beibei, what is the most taboo thing for those who are the king?"
"Those who are relatives and traitors are far away from loyal ministers, and those who are loyal and ruthless must be virtuous ministers. They should be valued. Those who have nothing to do with the country should not put the people first, so they need to be more careful."
Emperor Mingwen nodded in agreement and reached out to touch Beibei's head: "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat. The people are the first in everything. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If there is nothing harm, you can turn a blind eye."
"Yes, Beibei remembers it."
"In addition, one day in the future, the concubines in the harem must maintain balance and not be the only one. The harem of the previous dynasty must be prepared and not be confused."
"Huh?" Beibei looked up at Emperor Mingwen in confusion. He could understand the knowledge in front of him. He was only six years old now, so why should he consider the affairs of the previous dynasty and the harem?
"Uncle Emperor, what does the concubines in the harem have to do with me?"
Emperor Mingwen smiled meaningfully: "Everyone must learn this for the king and the minister."
Beibei pretended to think for a while, then nodded with his head tilted and said, "Okay, I remember what Uncle Emperor said. Then what if one day I met a woman I like very much, but the other party had many difficulties, and the two of them could not be together?"
"That's what if two people who like each other can't do together?"
Fearing that Emperor Mingwen would not understand, Beibei explained in detail again. Emperor Mingwen pondered for a moment: "If you really like it, as long as it does not violate morality, does not harm the interests of others, and can preserve the reputation of the family, why not be together?"
"What if many, many people disagree?"
Beibei looked at Emperor Mingwen with his big round eyes, waiting for the answer anxiously.
"That depends on whether this relationship has more weight than family honors in this heart. Beibei, there are many things in this world that cannot be achieved at the same time, but one of them can be given up."
Beibei was a little confused when he heard this, and he still couldn't understand it thoroughly, until Emperor Mingwen said: "If you can only choose one of the mountains and beauty, just give up the other one. It depends on which of these two is important."
Upon hearing this, Beibei's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Uncle Huang, what would you choose if this problem happened to you one day?"
Emperor Mingwen smiled but said nothing.
"Uncle Huang, is the country and country very important?" The stars in Beibei's eyes dimmed little by little. As expected, my mother was not that important. He hoped that Uncle Huang could choose her mother.
In recent years, it has been too difficult for my mother to take him alone.
Emperor Mingwen put his fingertips on Beibei's black hair and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Uncle Huang is the king of a country. He has too many responsibilities on his shoulders. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Many people and many things need Uncle Huang."
He explained it very specifically, and then changed the subject and said: "But one day someone appears to inherit the position of the emperor, then the emperor can choose the person he likes without hesitation."
"Huh?" Beibei's heart was swaying like a roller coaster, and he was about to cry: "But there is no little prince in the palace. When will the emperor give birth to a little prince? It will take many years to wait for the little prince to grow up."
What should I do with my mother? Beibei is really worried about her.
The only little prince was adopted by Emperor Mingwen to other princes. The palace was empty and there was no hope in Beibei.
The words have come to this point. Emperor Mingwen still has nothing to understand. The smile in his eyes gradually deepened: "Beibei, if one day I ask you to be the emperor and benefit the people of the world, would you be willing?"
Beibei never thought about this question and asked again, "If there really is one day, I will follow the guidance of the emperor and be a wise king."
Emperor Mingwen said solemnly: "Beibei, we cannot mention the chat between us today to anyone, do you know?"
"I know!" Beibei nodded heavily.
Soon, a message came from outside, and Eunuch Mo reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal."
So Emperor Mingwen went out to have a meal with his hands, and the exquisite food on the table was all the favorites of Emperor Mingwen.
Chu Yunning was busy with everything.
After eating and drinking, Emperor Mingwen asked Chu Yunning what he had been doing in the past few days. Chu Yunning did not hide it and whispered: "I was always restless during this period. I often dreamed of a little boy at night, who looked a little similar to Beibei. I guess it was Chu'er."
When talking about Chu'er, Emperor Mingwen was shocked.
That child was also in a miserable life back then.
"Your Majesty, after the war is over, I want to find Chu'er." Chu Yunning couldn't give up the child and ignore it.
Emperor Mingwen squinted his eyes at Eunuch Mo, and Eunuch Mo soon stepped down. The surroundings became quiet before he spoke; "Chu'er is indeed still alive."
"Hmm?" Chu Yunning was stunned suddenly, unable to believe his ears, and looked at him with a gaze: "The emperor knows Chu'er's whereabouts?"
As expected, Emperor Mingwen nodded: "When the mother heard that King Xiao wanted to take Chu'er's blood to treat Ye Yan'er, the mother fainted in anger. I had to leave the palace to obstruct him. It was too late when I went there. King Xiao buried the child. When I went to visit, I accidentally heard the child crying, so I pricked the tomb and saved Chu'er."
Chu Yunning listened to the beginning, his blood flowed backwards, and he hated that he was so happy to give Ye Yan'er.
"Then...what later, how is Chu'er now?" Chu Yunning's voice trembled, and she held the table tightly.
Emperor Wen of Ming said: "Chu'er was too weak at that time, so I placed him in the back mountain of Jokhang Temple to recuperate."
"Why is this?"
"There is a Feng Shui treasure land on the back mountain of Jokhang Temple, which can cultivate bleeding lotus. Chu'er was poisoned and was scattered with blood in her heart. He must use the blood lotus as medicine every day, otherwise his life will not be preserved."
Chu Yunning asked again: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Maybe I can have a way?"
"A year ago, I took you to Jokhang Temple in the middle of the night, and found a fortune teller to tell the fortune. In the middle of the night, I brought you a young monk wearing a monk's robe. You once said that this child must be raised in the back mountain for ten years before he could go down the mountain."
After hearing what he said, Chu Yunning suddenly remembered this incident. She had taken the pulse from a distance, but she never thought that the child was Chu'er!
"I didn't know you very well back then. I didn't mention it in order to protect Chu'er's safety, and I didn't want anyone to disturb Chu'er's purity. I originally planned to take you and Beibei to see Chu'er after returning to Beijing this time."
