Chapter 36: Parents Love
"They are the patron saints of Dayan, and I should be proud of them." After saying this, Queen Wen lovingly hugged the little girl into her arms.
"Hmm...Are my parents good-looking? Like Yan Shenzhi, who is tall and thin?" Yuan Yuan began to be curious about the appearance of his parents under the comfort of Queen Wen.
"Not only is he good-looking, your father is handsome and powerful in martial arts. The girls who liked your father back then were ranked from the East Palace to the Weiyang Palace!" Emperor Yan said to Queen Wen with a smile, with unconcealable affection in his eyes.
"Your Majesty is still talking about it! If Uncle Yuan hadn't arranged for Ayun to be in Yuanjing a long time ago, Yuanjing might not have been able to marry a girl as good as our Ayun!" Queen Wen and Lingyun are close friends and have deep feelings for each other.
Naturally, I know the private things about my friends in Tongyuanjing.
"That's because the boy from Yuanjing is twisting his mind, thinking that he has a brother-sister relationship with Ayun. If it weren't for the second prince of Jiang Kingdom falling in love with Ayun at first sight, that boy from Yuanjing wouldn't be aware of his feelings." Emperor Yan didn't know.
Juedi then talked to Queen Wen about the past events of Yuan Yuan's parents.
"It wasn't because Your Majesty deceived Yuan Jing to go to the flower house and made Ayun mistakenly think that Yuan Jing liked the courtesan, so Jiang Zhe had the opportunity to take advantage of her."
Queen Wen became angry when she mentioned this. If Emperor Yan hadn't been curious about the fireworks place and pulled him to the original place, Ayun wouldn't have been so angry that he went to the frontier, and he wouldn't have gotten to know Jiang Zhe, and was almost killed by that person later.
The treacherous villain was seriously injured and died.
Emperor Yan did not dare to accept Empress Wen's words, and he was not stupid. Wan'er obviously blamed him for taking Yuanjing to Hualou to learn more, which caused a misunderstanding between him and Ayun.
"Auntie, what is Hualou? Who is Jiang Zhe?" Yuan Yuan listened to words and names she had never heard of, and looked at Queen Wen curiously.
"The Flower House is a place to see flowers. Jiang Zhe is the prince of Jiang State. When Xinxin grows up, he must take good care of Shenzhi and not let him go to the Flower House. Do you understand?" Queen Wen explained briefly and then brought up the topic.
When it came to Yanhuai, he successfully diverted attention away from his original wish.
"Ah? Yan Shenzhi doesn't like to see flowers, so he won't go there! But I like flowers, so I can take Yan Shenzhi to the Flower House." Yuan Yuan said smugly as if he had discovered some interesting place.
"..." Emperor Yan and Queen Wen looked at each other wordlessly.
Seeing that both Queen Wen and Emperor Yan stopped talking, Yuan Yuan pulled her and urged her to continue telling the story, "Auntie, what happened next? How did my parents get married? And they gave birth to such a cute child like me?"
Queen Wen fed the anxious little girl a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, took a sip of warm tea and continued, "Later, your parents led the soldiers at the border to stop Jiang's invasion, causing Jiang to retreat steadily, and finally retreated dismally.
The army returned to the court with a great victory, and your parents also successfully got married."
"But the good times didn't last long. They were married for three years and you were born less than a year ago. There was another war at the border and the Jiang Kingdom came back. The generals who led the expedition suffered heavy casualties. Yuanjing and Ayun had no choice but to go on another expedition."
"On the day of the expedition, you cried so much that Ayun refused to look back at you." Queen Wen couldn't hold back her tears when she said this, and she cried silently holding her original wish in distress.
Yuan Yuan felt the same and gently wiped the tears on Queen Wen's face, "Auntie, don't cry. Auntie is crying and I want to cry in my heart."
When Emperor Yan saw Queen Wen being so sad, he also spoke to forgive her, "Wan'er, Xinxin is by our side now. As long as we treat her well, Yuanjing and Ayun will be able to rest assured that they are alive in heaven."
Queen Wen nodded towards him and patted the red-eyed original wish, "Auntie won't cry anymore, and my heart won't cry either."
"Yeah, I listen to my aunt." The little girl broke into tears and smiled.
The originally sad atmosphere suddenly turned to joy, because the little girl accidentally farted.
"Well...I didn't mean to..."
"Your Majesty, uncle and aunt, don't look at me!" The little girl was so embarrassed that she got into Queen Wen's arms and refused to show her little face.
"Hahahahaha, don't eat too much, your heart will melt." Emperor Yan joked.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian's maid is here to report that the fourth prince is not feeling well. I hope you can go and see the fourth prince." Huan's report sounded outside the carriage.
Emperor Yan looked at Queen Wen and did not respond to Huan, as if he was asking for Queen Wen's opinion.
"Your Majesty, please go and see the fourth prince. It doesn't matter if I, my concubine, are willing to accompany you." At any time, Queen Wen was the majestic and dignified empress, and would not use small tricks to win Emperor Yan's sympathy.
Emperor Yan was filled with disappointment as he could no longer hear what he wanted to hear, so he could only leave with Huan.
Yuan Yuan watched Emperor Yan being called away, and then looked at Queen Wen's expression. She didn't see the slightest bit of sadness or anger.
Yuan Yuan didn't know whether to ask Queen Wen, so he called her hesitantly, "Auntie..."
Queen Wen saw the little girl's squirming appearance, and encouraged her to speak out in a warm voice, "Hmm? Just say whatever you want to ask, it's okay."
Yuan Yuan thought about it for a moment and asked boldly, "Aunt, why does your Majesty's uncle marry so many young wives? Isn't it enough that he has aunt and Yan Shenzhi?"
Queen Wen didn't mind that she wanted to talk about this topic. The little girl was simple-minded. She probably held grudges against Concubine Xian, mother and son last time in the Qinzheng Palace. She felt uncomfortable when she saw Emperor Yan being called away by someone he disliked.
"Xinxin, not all men in this world are like your father who only cares about your mother. They are not content with the status quo and only want to get more things that others can't get. Whether it is power or women, there will only be more and more of them.
.”
Yuan Yuan listened with half-understanding, raised his head and asked simply, "Auntie, are you sad?"
Queen Wen thought of those days when her pillowcloth was wet with tears, shook her head and said, "Auntie is no longer sad. Xinxin, you have to remember that as long as you don't care, you won't be sad."
Yuan Yuan nodded and asked somewhat sadly, "Auntie, if Yan Shenzhi will marry many wives and have children with others in the future, then I won't want him."
"Okay, Auntie and Xinxin are the same, so let's not be cautious and let him find someone else." Queen Wen echoed her words with a smile.
"Yuan Xixin, did you speak ill of Gu to your mother again?" Yan Huai's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage, and then people got on the carriage.
"Hmph! If you have many wives like His Majesty's uncle in the future, my aunt and I won't want you anymore!" Yuan Yuan glared at him fiercely, then held Queen Wen's arm, as if she had found an ally to isolate him.
Yan Huai didn't know what his mother and the little girl said to make her so hostile to him. He was wronged and felt the need to defend himself, "Original Xinxin, I didn't do anything. Don't even think about slandering me."
"Hmph! Maybe you will have a wife in a few days! You bad guy!" Yuan Yuan seemed to have seen the scene where Yan Huai brought others to bully her, and he became even more angry.
