Chapter 31 The Ritual of Chongyang
In her previous life, she had suffered a lot in Prince Su's Mansion, and she had no information and no time to pay attention to him. By the time she returned to the battlefield and got involved in government affairs, Prince Duan Wen Zhehan had already died on the way to provide disaster relief.
It was also because of Wen Zhehan's accidental death that Zhenbei Marquis Guo Youning rejoined the team, which gave Wen Zhemao the opportunity to get involved in the military in northern Xinjiang and use himself to accumulate military merit.
In this life, Wen Zhemao was involved in a scandal of having an affair with a concubine, so he would no longer be the emperor's candidate for heir apparent. However, Zhennan Marquis Li Dingshan did not break away from Wen Zhemao because of this.
Yan Qing pointed his fingertips at the table and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Wen Zhemao, who is eager to get a seat, is afraid that he will rebel!
Thinking of this, Yan Qing couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and walked out, but stopped after walking a few steps and looked blankly at the white color in the house that had not faded.
The white thorns hurt her eyes and made her feel so sad that she couldn't help but take a half step back and hold on to the door frame on one side to stand firm, but her heart was full of panic.
Now that my brother is gone, who will believe me when I say things that are unfounded?
"Miss……"
Qing Yi's cautious call woke Yan Qing up.
Looking at the worried little girl, Yan Qing reluctantly held the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "I'm fine."
Yan Qing loosened the door frame, returned to the study, and sat down in front of the desk. His eyes fell on the gold and silver-edged posts on the desk, and then moved to the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
On the beige-yellow birth certificate, there are only four big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes - Weiguo Anbang.
"Ruling a country requires literature, and defending the country requires military force. We, as generals, are supposed to defend the country and ensure its safety, and we have our own saints to take care of the affairs of running the country."
The scene of his brother's argument with his father is still fresh in his memory, but he and they are forever separated.
Yan Qing closed his eyes heavily, his brows furrowed, and it took him a long time to take a long breath. When he opened his eyes again, he was completely confused.
She shouldn't get involved in the royal family's fight for the throne, but if Wen Zhemao wants to rebel, she must not just sit back and wait for death for the sake of the peace of this palace!
Otherwise, if Wen Zhemao ascends the throne, what will be the difference between the outcome of this life and the previous life?
"Send a message to Liu Zhao to recall brothers who have gone out to visit their relatives, to increase vigilance, and to prepare for possible war."
Yan Qing ordered in a deep voice, "From today on, you will stay with my wife to protect her."
Qing Yi was startled: "Miss, what happened?"
Yan Qing lowered his head slightly and looked at the post from Prince Duan's Mansion, with a solemn tone: "I'm just afraid that the dog will jump over the wall if it is forced."
Qing Yi was confused when he heard this, but he still followed the instructions honestly.
On the other hand, when Yan Qin saw Yan Qing moving Qing Yi to her side, she asked a few uneasy questions, but Yan Qing just shook her head in secret. Although Yan Qin was confused, she couldn't help it without Yan Qing saying anything.
He must be vigilant and not dare to become a burden to Yan Qing.
On the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the city is filled with the aroma of yellow chrysanthemums and wine. People come and go with dogwoods on their heads, inviting people to climb high and feast together to celebrate the harvest and pray for longevity.
Yan Qing got up early, went to the ancestral hall to offer incense, and then went to Qing Shuyuan to greet Yan Qin and have breakfast together.
Before leaving the house for the banquet, Yan Qing made a special trip to Lanzhu Garden.
According to Wu'an Double Ninth Festival etiquette, if the elders in the family are over sixty, the younger ones need to wish them longevity.
Some wealthy families will even hold open-air banquets on this day, inviting passers-by to eat a bowl of longevity noodles to celebrate the great autumn harvest. It is also considered as accumulating blessings for the elders in the family, and has the meaning of wishing the elders longevity.
In previous years, when my father and brother were still alive, my father would always send his brother and himself back to Huxi every Double Ninth Festival to hold a banquet for Yan Qiwei to wish him longevity.
However, he never thought that Yan Qiwei would turn his back on him as soon as his father and brother died. After being plotted against in his last life, he said that he was unchaste, unclean, nameless and had no status because his mother had no way to teach his daughter. In addition, he was afraid that his mother would be rumored because she was a widow.
The only way to prove his innocence is through death.
In order to force themselves to make a decision, they even threatened my mother and asked her to die to make her decision clear!
It was ridiculous that I was stupid and granted their wish, but I didn't expect them to use the same excuse again, saying that my mother's reputation was damaged and she should not stay in the Marquis' mansion, and that she wanted to divorce her for my father, or even sell her to him like a concubine.
People do the house filling!
Yan Qing felt great hatred in her heart. She couldn't understand why there could be such an ungrateful person like Yan Qiwei in this world.
It wasn't until the day she died tragically in the cold palace that she suddenly realized that to them, she was just a chess piece that was destined to be abandoned. No matter what an abandoned piece did, it was destined to be impossible to impress the chess players who had already given up on it.
After resurrecting her life, she must let them know that when a chess player abandons his son and refuses to play chess, that is the end of the chess player's path!
Now that Yan Kangping had "contracted an illness" and died in exile, it was time for the news to reach Yan Qiwei's ears.
She wanted to know what Yan Qiwei's reaction would be after hearing the news.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing suddenly felt a bit of joy and anticipation in his heart, and his steps became a little lighter, but he stopped outside Yan Qiwei's door due to an unexpected voice.
"Yan Kangping is dead. Apart from you, only Yan Qing is left in the Yan family. Yan Laoer, is this what you want?"
The old voice was rich and heavy, but it was that of Fang Qiao, the military doctor who served under my great-grandfather, the front yard of the imperial hospital, and the current head of the Fang family.
Speaking of which, that day, she wanted to send Yan Qiwei to another hospital for custody. In the end, it was because Mr. Fang disrupted the situation that she had to put Yan Qiwei into the Hou Mansion and keep him under surveillance.
She heard from her father that Yan Qiwei's two sons fell into the trap of the Xirong people because they rescued Fang Qiao. They fought their way out of the siege, but they could only save Fang Qiao. After that, Fang Qiao has always felt guilty about Yan Qiwei.
, take great care of Yan Qiwei.
But now it seems that I am afraid that I am not just taking care of you, but I am also helping the evildoer!
Thinking of this, Yan Qing couldn't help but his eyes darkened and his eyebrows rose high.
If Fang Qiao really contributed to the tragedy between himself and the Yan family in the previous life, then the friendship between the Yan family and the Fang family for several generations may have come to an end.
Yan Qingqing stood outside the door without rushing to open it, and did not even deliberately hide his presence. However, the two old men inside the door, who had their own thoughts, did not seem to notice that there was another person outside the door.
"What do I want?"
Yan Qiwei sneered, his wrinkled eyes filled with coldness, "I am alone, and all I want in this life is your old Fangtou's life!"
But as soon as the words came out, Yan Qiwei softened his tone again, looked at Fang Qiao and said regretfully: "But your life was exchanged for my son's life. Only if you are alive can Jun'er and Xing'er be considered alive."
."
"Yan Kangjun and Yan Kangxing are dead."
Fang Qiao stared at Yan Qiwei and repeated what he had repeated countless times, "They died because of me. If you want to kill me, I have no complaints. This matter has nothing to do with Yan Shuai. It has nothing to do with Yan Kangming, Yan Kangping and the Yan family."
The juniors have nothing to do with it..."
"How come it has nothing to do with him!"
