"Yan Ning." Princess Kang said comfortingly, "I didn't know what you said when I married your father."
Kang Yanning was extremely confused. As far as she knew, her father and mother were not blindly married, but they liked each other. Otherwise, her father would not have gone against all the opinions and wanted to marry someone from a small border town that Mrs. Kang said.
female.
"Then why did my mother want to get married?" Kang Yanning stared at her mother's profile with her big eyes flashing.
"Of course it's because she likes her." Princess Kang continued to pat Kang Yanning gently and comfortingly.
"A person's life can be said to be long, but it can also be said to be very short. If you can't find the man you like, the rest of your life will be a grind."
Kang Yanning's eyes darkened, "But what if the person you like is not your beloved?"
"If the person you like is not your beloved, then you are out of luck, but what about you?"
"Me?" Kang Yanning didn't understand.
"How difficult it is for women in our world. It may be difficult to find someone who respects you and loves you. But since it is the person you choose, you must bear all the consequences yourself."
Kang Yanning nodded. Maybe she didn't understand it in the last life, but after experiencing it, she now understands that her life is her own choice. Once she chooses, she will bear all the consequences, good or bad.
That's why...she didn't dare to make a choice again.
"What kind of situation would make you make a choice?" Princess Kang slowly guided.
"What kind of me?"
"Yan Ning, if you are a strong, capable, and capable woman, you can accept the choice you make, whether it is good or bad. If the result is good, it will be the icing on the cake for you."
Princess Kang paused for a moment, "If you don't have such good luck. Like you said, the man you meet may have ulterior motives, may be careless, and may even be arrogant.
But if you have the confidence to leave, and you have the confidence to live a better life without him, then you don’t have to be afraid or hesitant about this person, because leaving you will definitely be his loss.
It’s your new life.”
"Women, can I also choose?" Kang Yanning's eyes were confused.
"It may be difficult for the woman next to you. But, Yan Ning, father and mother will always have your backing." Princess Kang spoke softly.
So...it doesn't matter whether you marry a loved one or not. The real confidence actually comes from yourself...Kang Yanning frowned tightly, as if she was digesting it.
Suddenly, she thought of the letter her father left for her, which said "Don't take revenge."
She seemed to understand only now that her father and mother did not want her to live in the whirlpool of pain. They wanted her to gain a new life.
After all, she was just an immature little girl in her previous life. She once again lost the chance of life left by her parents.
But...she doesn't regret it. She doesn't regret stabbing that bitch man, even if she died there. She doesn't regret taking revenge. Anyone who hurts her family will definitely make them pay with blood.
The only thing that was a bit regretful... was that that day under the tree, all her eyes were filled with his man, and she didn't dare to look back at his expression.
It must be... very sad.
"If you are worried about His Royal Highness, you don't have to worry."
"Huh?" Kang Yanning raised her head when she heard her mother mentioned the prince.
"Your father said to me when he came back from the winter hunt that day, 'His Royal Highness is a kind-hearted person with excellent character.' I don't know why you have a lot of doubts about human nature after coming to Kyoto, but
I think you should believe your father's vision."
Kang Yanning was stunned. Prince Kang never participated in the fight for the heirs among the princes and only watched with cold eyes. But he didn't expect that he had such a high opinion of the prince. When he insisted on marrying the third prince, he was flatly rejected by him and almost left.
Father-daughter relationship.
Does that mean... the prince can do it... Kang Yanning's heart was full of sweetness. Thinking that she had already rejected the prince mercilessly, she felt a little frustrated and muttered, "I know, Auntie, I'm sleepy."
Now, go to sleep."
"You're still like a little girl. I don't know who can fall in love with a naughty little kid like you."
Princess Kang gently tapped Kang Yanning's forehead with her finger, "Okay, go to sleep. Mom and dad will be leaving in the next few days."
"Yeah." Kang Yanning clung to Princess Kang tightly and quickly fell asleep.
The year has passed, and King Kang and his wife have to return to the provincial town to guard the frontier.
Kang Yanning got up early to see her father and mother leave Beijing.
Everything had been packed up long ago, and King Kang gave Kang Yanyu instructions.
"Yan Yu, your sister has been pampered since she was a child and has become a bit naughty. Kyoto is turbulent, so you and Yan Ning must support each other and remember not to shield her or do something irreversible."
"Daddy." Kang Yanning said coquettishly, "Why does Yanning look like the devil in your mouth?"
King Kang pretended to have a straight face and tapped the tip of Kang Yanning's nose, "Aren't you the devil incarnate?"
Kang Yanyu smiled and said solemnly, "Father, don't worry, I will take care of my sister. But you, please be more careful when leading the troops and take care of yourself."
Kang Yanning originally wanted to find some reasons during this period to catch out the generals who betrayed King Kang in the previous life. But in the previous life, she only heard about it from the mouth of the third prince, so she knew very little.
The only general who knew about it was General Du, whom the third prince called him. However, General Du has not shown up yet, and he does not know who he is under. He can only briefly mention it to Kang Yanyu.
Kang Yanning brought up the name of the prince again and said that the third prince had inserted a few people into King Kang's army to pay more attention.
Kang Yanyu vaguely felt that her sister's attitude towards the prince had changed, but she had always respected her sister, so she did not ask more questions, but paid serious attention to the people Kang Yanning mentioned.
After the New Year, Kang Yanning no longer had any reason to stay in Yanyu Building, so he simply made an appointment with the second princess to go to the study to read with her.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the second princess also grew taller. Xu Jieyu was surprised when she saw Kang Yanning comparing her height to the second princess. She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Yanning also feels that after the New Year, Baozhu has grown taller."
"
"Yeah." Kang Yanning also smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, but I feel like the orb has grown so much, it's almost reaching my waist."
"Children, they are different every day. You will know when you have children." Xu Jieyu joked.
Child... She looked at the second princess. It would be great if she was as lively and cute as the second princess. Hey, where are you thinking? Kang Yanning was a little shy.
"Sister Yanning." Baozhu opened his arms, wanting her to hug her. Kang Yanning stepped forward, hugged her, and pretended to exclaim, "Ah, the second princess has grown more than a few words, and she must have gained weight as well."
The second princess's face turned red with anger, "No! Baozhu didn't gain weight!"
Everyone was moved forward and backward by the second princess's childlike words. Kang Yanning prepared a small golden lock wrapped in red paper from his arms and put it on the second princess's neck.
"It's a new year. Sister Yanning wishes our Baozhu a peaceful and happy new year."
The second princess held the little golden lock and said happily, "Thank you, sister Yanning."
"Look at you." Xu Jieyu complained a little, "This golden lock is even carved with jade. It looks like a good thing. If you give it a pearl, wouldn't it cost her a lot of money?"
The second princess was afraid of tiring Kang Yanning and wanted to get off her body.
"How could it be?" Kang Yanning put down the second princess and smoothed her clothes. "Baozhu is the cutest little princess in the world. She just wears it with a little golden lock for fun."
The second princess responded crisply, "Yes, Baozhu is the cutest little princess in the world."
Everyone started laughing again.
Kang Yanning said goodbye to Xu Jieyu and took the second princess's soft little hand towards the study room.
It was not boring to hear the second princess laughing and giggling along the way.
The second princess was still chirping, "Sister Yanning, you don't know. For some reason, my eldest sister has suddenly been very nice to me recently."
Kang Yanning frowned and asked carefully, "Second princess, tell your sister slowly, what happened to the eldest princess recently?"
"My eldest sister is very kind to me. In the past, when she saw me, she wished she hadn't seen me and walked away quickly. These days, when she meets me, she will smile at me and give me dried plums to eat. I don't know what happened." The second princess looked innocent.
.
This thing is indeed a bit strange. The eldest princess's hostility towards the second princess is innate. The eldest princess felt that the second princess had lost Emperor Wei Chang's favor, so she always felt resentful.
The only one who can make the eldest princess behave like this is... the woman behind her, Concubine Shu. But what does Concubine Shu want to do? What is her purpose?
It was nothing more than Kang Yanning could think about it. The more she came into contact with the eldest princess and the third prince in this life, the more she discovered that the one who was truly capable was Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu single-handedly gave birth to three children in the harem, and
She is definitely not an ordinary woman who raises them up and is loved by the Holy One.
Suddenly, Kang Yanning suddenly remembered something extremely important.
"Sister Yanning, you're hurting me." The second princess coquettishly broke away from Kang Yanning's suddenly clenched hand.
Kang Yanning looked down and found that she had clenched the second princess's little hand red. "I'm sorry, second princess, it's sister Yanning who is too obsessed with her thoughts."
She finally understood where this sense of dissonance came from. She had forgotten such an important thing in her previous life!
In the previous life, just after this year, the second princess suddenly caught a cold at night and developed a high fever, which took a long time to cure. But Kang Yanning heard the words "second princess... smallpox" in the third prince's study.
Kang Yanning was annoyed. He was busy with his own affairs every day, but such an important matter as the second princess was completely forgotten. If the second princess hadn't mentioned the eldest princess wrong, I'm afraid...
Kang Yanning didn't dare to think about it anymore. She said to the second princess, "Today we are going to the study to ask for leave. My sister needs to see Xu Jieyu if she has something to do."
Seeing Kang Yanning's serious face, the second princess nodded in understanding, "Then I will send someone to ask for leave."
Kang Yanning called the second princess's maid to ask for leave, picked her up and walked straight back.
