Murong Yu was amused, "Okay, you are the most innocent."
The two of them teased the children, and Murong Yu suddenly said: "King Hongmeng also has an adopted daughter, named Princess Huayun, who is twelve years old this year."
Ming Wuyou said "Oh", "Twelve years old. This age is very similar to Yuan Hao."
"Well, after that adopted daughter became a loyal minister, she has a free and cheerful personality and a good appearance. I have met Mrs. Fu several times and I think she is good."
Ming Wuyou looked at him meaningfully: "Does Yuan Hao know about this?"
"He didn't say it clearly, but he was smart, so he figured it out."
Ming Wuyou paused, thinking of Yuan Hao's young and mature appearance at the New Year's Eve banquet, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
The young emperor has a difficult road ahead. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he has already begun to consider candidates for marriage.
It has nothing to do with love, just the situation, just suitability, just safety.
"Is he willing?" Ming Wuyou hesitated for a while, and then said: "If he is not willing, don't force it on him. You don't want others to force someone on you, right?"
"He is still young. Before he gets married, you should not decide on a person for him early. You should let him look for one among the women in the capital, who has a suitable family background and is eye-catching."
Murong Yu paused and said, "I know."
Ming Wuyou said nothing again, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, holding the child in his arms, feeling calm, stable and peaceful in his heart.
Murong Yu also had something in mind that he wanted to mention to Ming Wuyou.
But seeing such a beautiful look on her face, she didn't say anything after all.
That's all, it's not an important matter anyway. I believe Princess Yun'an can handle it well at Prince Zhan's Mansion.
…
From the New Year's Eve banquet to today, the third day of the Lunar New Year, it snowed heavily for three days.
As for Yun Ziyuan, when he returned home from the New Year's Eve banquet, he was imprisoned in the ancestral hall and made to kneel for three days and three nights.
Xu Miaoying is dead.
What happened after falling from the platform?
Yun Ziyuan was by his side at that time, and he was so speechless that he couldn't explain clearly.
However, the deputy commander was a comrade and confidant of Yun Ziyuan, so he reported it to the emperor immediately, and the emperor suppressed the matter.
No one mentioned a word about Yun Ziyuan.
Xu Miaoying was not favored in the Xu family. After she married into the Marquis family of Liang, her mother-in-law was disgusted and the wife of the Crown Prince of Liang attacked her. The Crown Prince of Liang only loved stealing and lost interest as soon as she married back.
Therefore, the Marquis Mansion of Liang State simply buried the person and settled the matter.
But the matter was still known to the King of War.
The war king was simply furious.
Yun Ziyuan has been in trouble twice because of Xu Miaoying. If the emperor hadn't suppressed him this time, the whole family would have been implicated in the investigation.
Moreover, for a married man to have a private meeting with someone else's concubine, it was considered treason to the Yun family.
As soon as the War King returned home, he wanted to serve the Yun Ziyuan family. Princess Yun'an and Yun Zichen and Yun Zimo repeatedly begged for mercy, and the War King calmed down a little.
But he was still punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
For three whole days and nights, no one was allowed to come even close.
Moreover, the King of War also sent his own soldiers to personally protect him——
In the past, when the brothers were punished by kneeling, they could secretly send some food and drink in, but this time, nothing could be sent in.
Everyone in the family was worried, but they didn't dare to ask the King of War for fear of offending the old master and giving Yun Ziyuan a heavier punishment.
Princess Yun'an has also been unable to sleep at night these past few days, firstly because of the cold, and secondly because of worry.
Princess Chenyang is also very strict in educating her children, but rarely uses corporal punishment.
The most he did was copy scriptures, play hand-to-hand, etc. The King of War's vigorous and resolute methods of running the house really sent shivers down Princess Yun'an's spine.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like to kneel alone in a cold ancestral hall without eating or drinking for three days and three nights.
Thinking about the way Yun Ziyuan used to face the law without changing his expression, she felt even more terrible.
How much has he been subjected to the family rules since he was a child, so he is used to it?
On the morning of the fourth day, Princess Yun'an finally couldn't stand it any more, so she went to the courtyard of Prince War and Princess Anping before dawn to ask for an audience.
The King of War always got up early, and when he heard that she had arrived, he asked someone to invite her in.
As soon as Princess Yun'an entered the inner hall, she respectfully saluted the King of War: "Father, please let your husband come out."
"He made a mistake."
"I know." Princess Yun'an lowered her head: "I actually saw him and Xu Miaoying on the platform that night, and I also heard what they said. It was Xu Miaoying who pestered him. He made it clear that he wanted to follow
Xu Miaoying draws a clear line."
"Oh?" War King narrowed his eyes, "Did the princess hear it?"
"I am really right here. My maid Cai Mulberry can testify that he has absolutely nothing to do with Xu Miaoying's death."
The King of War said coldly: "The princess did not understand the key point of my punishment for him - he should not have any personal relationship with Xu Miaoying, and should not go to the platform with that woman during the annual banquet!"
"If the emperor hadn't helped him hide it, he would have been a murderer now and was being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting to be questioned!"
"The family punishment he received last time was because of Xu Miaoying, but he remembered to eat and not to beat. If he is not severely punished this time, he doesn't know what mistakes he will make next time. No one will help him cover it up. Then he will get involved and implicate the whole family!
"
A chill ran down Princess Yun'an's spine, as she didn't know that everything King War said was true.
But she really couldn't watch Yun Ziyuan being punished and remain indifferent.
"Father." Princess Yun'an said sincerely: "No one can make mistakes without being a sage. My husband rarely makes mistakes. These two were accidents... Please let him out. I will persuade him.
Let him be more careful in the future and not fall into other people's schemes."
The King of War had a cold face: "Princess, please go back."
"You -" Princess Yun'an looked at the King of War in disbelief, seeing that he had no intention of letting go, and couldn't help but ask: "How long do you plan to imprison him?"
"Father has his own ideas." War King turned around and motioned to the nanny beside him to see off the guests.
Princess Yun'an couldn't bear it anymore and gritted her teeth and said, "Have you ever asked him what happened? Did you ask him why he went to hold the moon platform? How did Xu Miaoying die?"
"You didn't ask a word. When he got home, you sent him to the ancestral hall regardless of New Year's Eve. He didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights. The ancestral hall was so cold... He wasn't made of iron, how could he hold on?"
"This is home, not the military!"
"Is your heart made of iron? Don't you feel bad that he is your biological child?"
War King's mountain-like back suddenly stiffened, not only because Princess Yun'an contradicted him but also because of Princess Yun'an's words that hurt his heart.
"Your Majesty—" Princess Anping came out of the house with her clothes on, her eyes exposed, and begged: "Please let A Yuan out. That child has a good mind. You know that he has been staying away from Xu Miaoying."
"He definitely didn't take the initiative to go to the platform, it was Xu Miaoying——"
"Stop talking, go pick him up." The War King sighed deeply, closing his eyes slightly to block the many complicated emotions in his eyes.
He came to the military to rule the family, but today he was taught a lesson by his daughter-in-law, and he suddenly began to reflect on whether he had been too strict at home these years? This chapter has been completed!
