Chapter 257

If Princess Ping hadn't been troublesome, the King of Chu wouldn't have known that Princess Chu had a concubine who looked so much like her. Wei Baniang was calm, gentle and affectionate, but she was more angry than her legitimate sister. After she and her lover left Chang'an, she was sold into a fireworks place. If her maid hadn't sacrificed her life to save her, and he had been sending people to follow them, she might have been gone to the world to protect her innocence.

The King of Chu knew that she had nowhere to go, so he placed her in a very hidden village, which also gave her a brand new identity. Wei Baniang stayed in the village and devoted herself to worship Buddha. Her appearance was very similar to the former Princess of Chu. The King of Chu took good care of her and often enlightened her, and finally persuaded her to untie her knots and made her feel affection for him.

The two also had a happy time, but the longer they got along, the more they understood that Wei Baniang was just Wei Baniang. She was obsessed with love, but she didn't understand what he wanted. She didn't understand him. The Princess Chu understood him, but the Princess Chu who understood him was unwilling to fight him.

Now that Wei Baniang is pregnant, this child is like the bloodline of him and the Princess Chu. At that time, he and the Princess Chu worked so hard that they could not conceive a child. He often thought that if she had a child, she might change her mind and be willing to seek a prosperous future for the child. Now there is no rich future, but the child is here. He only hopes that the child can grow up safely, without having to be rich and prosperous, and be healthy for a lifetime.

"Can you protect her well?" King Chu looked at King Ping and asked.

"I won't touch her." All he could guarantee was that.

"I have a manor in the south. Can you find someone to send her there?"

"I can give it a try."

"Thank you." The King of Chu bowed seriously.

King Ping helped him up and sighed, "You and my brothers should have helped each other. It's just that the world is difficult and I'm weak, so I can't do too much."

"I understand."

He also knew that Zhang Guojiu said that he and King Jiang’s son could not be kept, but he just hoped to hide it from him and leave a little bloodline between him and Wei, and also regarded it as a little obsession.

On the second day, King Jiang and King Chu were exiled from Beijing. The emperor stood on the high city wall, and could not see the situation when his brothers walked out of the city gate. However, he seemed to clearly see their unwillingness and reluctance, and stood on the wall for a long time.

A month later, the boat carrying King Jiang and King Chu families was crossing the river and the strong wind overturned, and no one survived. The news came to the capital, and Concubine De committed suicide by swallowing gold. Concubine Xian couldn't stand the stimulation and became crazy.

The emperor didn't say anything for a long time when he received the news. He also sent someone to investigate, but the people sent said that it was just an accident. He thought of Geng Jieqing who was far away in Pengze and wanted to send him to investigate, but he asked King Ping to stop him.

"You ask him to investigate now, and you will send him to death."

The emperor looked at King Ping sadly, held his hand and said, "They are all the sons and grandsons of the late emperor. The late emperor wanted to keep the Yang bloodline. I have driven them out of Chang'an, why is he like this!"

"It has always been like this." Ping Wang replied helplessly, patting his hand, "You have to stand up your own people quickly. I can't get too close to you."

After hearing this, the emperor pounded the table hatefully and said, "This emperor is really frustrated."

"Let's work hard for a few years." King Ping persuaded.

After talking for a while, King Ping left the imperial study room and just arrived outside the house and met Mr. Zhang. Seeing the courtesy on both sides, Mr. Zhang glanced at him, and took the appearance of an elder and advised earnestly, "The Lord is still too soft-hearted, and the prince is the same. You have to learn more in the future."

"Yes." Ping Wang replied with a smile, his back was slightly cool when he left.

When he arrived at the mansion, Manager Feng, who had just arrived in the mansion, went into the study with him and told him about the murder of Wei Baniang and his party. He remained silent for a long time and sighed after Manager Feng left. He underestimated Zhang Guojiu's determination to ensure that one of the two princes could succeed the throne. However, his actions in this way would only arouse the dissatisfaction of the emperor, and in the end he still didn't know where to affect him.

After Yuan Tai was named the Prince of Nanyang County, he had to go out to build a mansion. Yuan Heng, who had been living in the palace, also had to leave the palace. The emperor gave Yuan Heng and Yuan Tai the original prince's mansion.

According to the system, the Prince's Mansion was much larger than the Prince's Mansion. The Master asked the Ministry of Works to divide the original Prince's Mansion into two, and the side close to King Ping gave it to Yuan Tai, and the other side was given to Yuan Heng. Yuan Heng had been living in the palace before. He had known that the Prince's Mansion would move him out of the palace after he ascended the throne, but he did not expect to let him live in the original Prince's Mansion. Even if this place was now changed to the Prince's Mansion, it seemed that there was something hidden in the eyes of others.

As for the Prince of Nanyang, others did not think deeply. Many people even forgot that the prince and a concubine had always lived in the Prince Ping's Mansion. Now that he was asked to continue living next to the Prince Ping's Mansion, it was probably because he had the affection between the Prince Ping's family. Some people also speculated that Prince Ping had no son before, so maybe when he brought the prince's concubine, he wanted to treat him as his heir. However, Princess Ping gave birth to a son and lost the intention of adoption.

In terms of location, the Prince's Mansion is closer to the central section than the Prince's Mansion. Now it is divided into two parts. The one with better location is naturally the Beichuan County Prince's Mansion on the outside, rather than the Nanyang County Prince's Mansion where the two mansions are sandwiched in the middle, which is slightly cramped and easily overlooked.

However, Yuan Tai liked this mansion very much. When the Ministry of Works renovated the house, it retained the path from the original Prince's Mansion to the middle of the Pingwang Mansion, as if he had just moved to a yard a little far from the Pingwang Mansion and did not really move out of the Pingwang Mansion.

However, every family was very unhappy with this matter. He has moved out of the main courtyard and lived in the same courtyard as Yuan Tai. Since March, he has also started to go to the Imperial College for study. He has many things to talk to his elder brother every day, but now his elder brother is moving away, and he has no place to talk about them in the future. He doesn't want to bother his mother about these small things.

Yuan Tai is now in the Ministry of War and doesn't have much time to talk to him. However, the brother of the Yu family, who is also a student of the Imperial College, is always very concerned about the situation of every family in the Imperial College. However, every family doesn't like him so close. His cousins ​​and brother Hao Ming in the Imperial College would not ask so carefully.

As time goes by, every family seems to understand something.

One day, Yu Boyan came to the Ping Palace to talk about knowledge with Yuan Tai, who was still living in the palace. Every family was watching carefully. After he left, every family pulled Yuan Tai to the corner and whispered to Yuan Tai: "The brother of the Yu family is interesting to my elder sister."

Yuan Tai smiled and said, "You are only eight years old. Do you know what it means to be interesting?"

"Of course I know that his eyes look at my elder sister are the same as my father's mother. You are nineteen years old, just like the elder brother of the Yu family, but you are not engaged yet. That is, you have to wait three years to get engaged. My elder sister was sixteen at that time, and she was the age of engagement. I looked at him and waited for the national demise in these three years."

Yuan Tai was not enlightened about these things, and when he didn't mention them, he really didn't think so. When he heard about Qijia's words, he felt that it was really like this. Every time Yu Boyan came, Tuantuan always listened to them talking about learning. He looked at Yu Boyan several times and stared at Tuantuan.

"I don't like the brother of the Yu family. His father has a concubine." Jiajia said with a stern face.

Yuan Tai had just come to the Pingwang Mansion and lost his mother and sister. Over the years, he has always treated his little cousin who was close to him as his own sister. Now, he suddenly heard that he was about to discuss the kiss when he saw his grown-up eldest sister, and he felt uncomfortable, even if that person was Yu Boyan who he had always been able to talk about. Moreover, if Yu Boyan really had his own thoughts about Tuantuan, then he would always come to him to talk about knowledge, which would be impure. He didn't want Tuantuan to marry someone who was impure.

Tuantuan didn't know what the two were saying, but Yuanyuan, who had always been sharp in his ears, heard it. Even though she was lying on the table and taking a nap, she suddenly woke up and approached behind them.

"You don't know, right? I see, there is only a smart person like me in this mansion." Yuanyuan said yawning.

The two were shocked when they heard the sound. They saw that Yuanyuan, who was walking silently, breathed a sigh of relief. They wanted to say something and saw Tuantuan walking over curiously.

"What smart person?" Tuantuan asked, she guessed that Yuanyuan was joking with the two again.

"It's okay, the second sister is talking nonsense again." Yuan Tai winked and hid the matter. After Tuantuan had something to do, he and the family went to wake up Yuanyuan who had fallen asleep again.

"Second sister, have you seen it long ago?" Yuan Tai asked.

"I'm not blind." Yuanyuan said angrily. She was sleeping now and didn't want to talk to them.

“When did it start?”

"When I was very young," Yuanyuan said. She was smart since she was a child, but she didn't say anything casually. She had to waste her energy if she had anything to say.

After hearing what she said, Yuan Tai was even more confused. When he first met Yu Boyan, Yuanyuan was only four years old. Yu Boyan wouldn't have thought about Tuantuan since then, right? But at that time, Tuantuan was still young, and he and Yu Boyan were still young. Even if he was nineteen now, he had never cared about any lady from any family. He had never liked to talk to beautiful women like Huanhuan and Lele before. It was really not easy to let him pay attention to these things.

"I think you two are all wood bumps." Yuanyuan complained in a daze.

Every family frowned. How could he be a lump of wood? How smart he was. He could see something that his elder brother had not discovered at such a young age. However, although he didn't like Uncle Yu's concubine, he didn't count on his elder sister's marriage.

"Does your mother know?" Jiajia asked, this was the most important thing for him.

"I don't know, in my mother's eyes, we were all children before the age of sixteen. You didn't see her not even giving me money."

The family ignored his second sister's complaints, thinking that his mother didn't know yet, so he had to talk to her, but Yuan Tai grabbed him.

"I can't tell you about this. Let me talk to him first. It's best if I can persuade him to withdraw. If it doesn't work, I'm not afraid. I'm going to move to the Prince's Mansion soon. He has no excuse to come to Prince Ping's Mansion in the future."

"Okay." Jiajia responded, and he listened quite to his elder brother.

Yuanyuan, who was half asleep and half awake, frowned after hearing this. If Yu Boyan didn't come, wouldn't she have lost a partner to quarrel? If she had known that she would have stopped talking, it would have been a big loss now.

The next time Yu Boyan came, Yuan Tai received him in his yard. Yu Boyan saw that he was the only one, and he looked outside a few uncomfortable times. Yuan Tai looked at him secretly and realized that the guesses of each family were probably true, and he was also a fool, and he only saw it now.

"The eldest sister won't come here today." Yuan Tai said lightly.

Yu Boyan was playing chess with Yuan Tai. Hearing this, he looked up at Yuan Tai with guilt, and then he tried to calmly hold the chess piece and ask, "Sister Zhen is sick?"

Yuan Tai refused to answer, put the chess piece on it and said, "I'm going to move to the Prince's Mansion soon. Before that, you should not come here."

Yu Boyan is already nineteen and is more mature than Yuan Tai for this matter, so he asked, "Do you think my cousin is wrong?"

According to relationships, the daughter of Princess Yiyang, Heping Wang and others, were cousins. Yu Boyan called Yuan Tai's cousin. When he took Yuan Tai out to attend the poetry meeting, he always called Yuan Tai his cousin. Yuan Tai now also called him cousin.

"It's not that there's something wrong with you..." Hara Tai couldn't say that, "The eldest sister is still young."

"She will be very young after three years. Or is it that my cousin thinks that Brother Haoming is better than me, or, do you have any other young people in Chang'an City worthy of Sister Zhen?"

Yuan Tai said nothing and glanced at Yu Boyan. He had to say that Yu Boyan was excellent among some young men he had come into contact with. However, he had not had many people. Perhaps Yu Boyan deliberately only took him to see some young people with ordinary qualifications. He no longer believed that Yu Boyan was as calm as he saw, and could not listen to what he said.

Seeing that he was like this, Yu Boyan had to go back first. After that, he did not come to Pingwang Mansion again. When the county prince’s mansion was completed, he met Yuan Tai when he came to congratulate him. Yuan Tai calmed down now. Although he only had a free position in the Ministry of War, he also met many new people. Among these people, there was no one more outstanding than Yu Boyan.

But he just let Yu Boyan coax away like this, and he, the older brother, was reluctant.

Yuantai moved to a new residence, so the mansion would naturally have a banquet for guests. However, because he was still in the mourning period of the late emperor, he invited a few good friends. There was no drink or drink at the banquet, and there was not much meat. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan also went to Yuantai's mansion to be lively. When he arrived, he heard someone teasing him that there was a mistress in the mansion. When he saw Tuantuanyuan and the other two arrived, the teasing man stopped talking.

Even though Tuantuan was only thirteen years old, he had already realized his beauty's character, with his eyes and eyebrows as picturesque. When people walked outside, they often secretly asked. When others heard that she was the daughter of King Ping, they thought of the fierce Princess Ping. However, if such a beauty "takes offensive", they would be willing to accept it. Yuan Tai was slightly unhappy when he saw others like this. He could see that Tuantuan would attract attention no matter where he went. He had to be careful in the future so that Tuantuan would not be coaxed easily. If someone like Yu Boyan, he would reluctantly agree. If he was worse than Yu Boyan, he would not agree.

He was determined to protect Tuantuan, but he forgot that he was just Tuantuan's cousin, and Tuantuan's marriage had to be decided by Ping Wang and his wife.

In my cat's original plan, Princess Chu would have a lot of play, but with another poor princess Ji, she thought that she would just write one, otherwise it would be too sad.
