Chapter 474: Keeping a Concubine
Gongsun Tianhua had not expected Yun Ting's answer. He had thought that the child had been outside for too long and would not like the rules and regulations in the capital. He would have to spend more time to convince the child. Unexpectedly, Yun Ting agreed without him having to say anything.
Nangong Jingxuan looked at Yun Ting: "Why do you want to stay?"
Yun Ting said: "A real man should always do something. He can't just hang around outside all the time. That would be too useless."
He said to Nangong Jingxuan: "Dad, the capital is pretty good."
He is already eleven years old and knows exactly what he should do, what he should not do, and what his responsibilities are.
He is the prince of Yan and will inherit his father's position sooner or later. If he keeps hanging around outside, he won't make much progress. There are some things he can only learn and learn more by coming to the capital.
Nangong Jingxuan understands his eldest son well. Yun Ting looks naughty and likes to be lazy with him, but he is actually thoughtful and studious. He has his own way of learning.
Nangong Jingxuan didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay, if you want to stay, then stay. Both sides are your home anyway."
Gongsun Tianhua was very happy: "Don't regret it."
Yun Ting smiled and said, "I won't regret it."
When he was in the palace, he talked a lot with Brother Bo Jin and found that Brother Bo Jin had changed a lot. He was only twelve years old, but he had become extremely mature and introverted. He had to learn a lot of things, such as governing the country, military affairs, politics, the Four Books and Five Classics, etc.
When the Crown Prince's cousin ascended the throne, Brother Bo Jing trusted the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince had more responsibilities to bear, and he needed someone reliable to share his worries and solve his problems.
Yun Ting looked determined. He would definitely become the most reliable person around Brother Bo Jin, and no one would dare to bully Brother Bo Jin.
Of course, if Brother Bo Jin dared to bully him or distrust him, he would beat Brother Bo Jin up.
Upon learning that Yun Ting wanted to stay in the capital, Shangguan Tang did not object, but expressed his support: "My son is a smart child, he knows what he wants."
Her Yun Ting has never been a playboy who only cares about pleasure.
Gongsun Tianhua returned to the Prince's Mansion and told Bo Jin and Qin Jinhua the good news that Yun Ting was willing to stay.
Bo Jin was very excited: "Brother Yun Ting, are you really willing to stay?"
Gongsun Tianhua nodded: "Yes, he is willing to stay, and Yun Ting will study with you in the future."
"That's great!" Bo Jin was extremely happy, with stars shining in his eyes.
Gongsun Tianhua had not seen his eldest son so happy for a long time. Since he was eight years old, his eldest son gradually understood his responsibilities and became more and more silent. He immersed himself in the study every day, had no enthusiasm for doing anything, and smiled less and less.
He felt that he was not free. There was no one of his peers he could trust. Most of the young ladies and young masters in the capital approached him with a purpose.
Only Yun Ting is different.
The relationship between these two children is just like that between him and Jingxuan.
Five days later, the new emperor's coronation ceremony was held as scheduled. Gongsun Tianhua was sent to the dragon throne and Qin Jinhua became the queen.
Emperor Yuanwu abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, the empress became the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager became the Grand Empress Dowager, and the rest of the concubines were sent out of the palace to live with their children.
All the princes who have reached adulthood are granted titles and fiefs, and they can live out their days in their fiefs with their wives, children and mothers. Of course, Gongsun Tianhua will monitor and restrict some restless princes.
Emperor Yuanwu and his two companions were unwilling to stay in the deep palace, so they bought a house outside the palace and lived a simple life, occasionally going to Prince Yan's mansion for a meal.
Emperor Yuanwu asked Nangong Jingxuan: "When will you return to Qingquan Village?"
Nangong Jingxuan looked horrified: "You still want to go to Qingquan Village with us?"
Emperor Yuanwu Gongsun Yinli rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you mean by 'actually'? Can't I go? I have been curious about Qingquan Village for a long time. Now that I have finally abdicated, I must go and take a good look at that village. Of course, I want to visit not only the small Qingquan Village, but all the places in Tianan Prefecture. After visiting Tianan Prefecture, I will go to Jiangcheng, Yuncheng, Haicheng, and the entire Yuan Dynasty, and then go to Qingquan Village to live in seclusion."
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
As an emperor, he had no freedom. He was busy with state affairs every day. His hair turned white. He had been looking forward to abdicating for a long time. Now that he had finally gotten away, of course he had to take a good look at the beautiful land he had conquered.
The queen, no, now it should be the queen mother. Her name is Su Tingwan. She is the eldest daughter of the Su family and the younger sister of the head of the Su family.
Su Tingwan is a gentle woman. She is well-read and has never traveled far. She is very yearning for the common people. Now that she has the opportunity to go out for a walk, she is very willing to do so.
Shangguan Tang felt terrible when he learned that Gongsun Yinli and Su Tingwan were also going to live in seclusion in Qingquan Village.
"If the Emperor and Empress Dowager go there, can Qingquan Village still be called Qingquan Village? We can just call it Big Brother Village."
Prince of Yan Nangong Jingxuan, Princess of Yan Shangguan Tang, the ghost Hong Longfei, the most beautiful woman in the world Dugu Wushuang, the poison doctor Liu An, the imperial teacher Su Yinghuai, the old Duke of Zhenguo Shangguan Zhenhua, the retired emperor Gongsun Yinli, the empress dowager Su Tingwan, the retired emperor and the empress dowager are all gone, but what about the grand empress dowager.
Emma, there are too many big guys, all gathering in Qingquan Village. The Yuan Dynasty is so big, wouldn’t it be better for the big guys to live in seclusion somewhere else?
Shangguan Tang felt that he would never have a peaceful life in the future. It would be very exciting if his fifth brother and his wife knew the identities of the bosses.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it. I’m afraid they will scare the old people to death.
Shangguan Tang let out a breath: "Let's go back to the village later."
It’s a rare opportunity to come to Beijing, so stay a little longer.
The next day, Shangguan Tang went to the Da Si Nong Temple. There were many new agricultural officials in the temple. These new faces were selected from the people. They were all good at farming and, of course, they were also literate.
The Yuan Dynasty was not short of food, but agricultural officials still did not dare to relax. They were studying how to increase grain production every day, wishing to have as much grain as possible.
Everyone understands that food is the foundation of a country. If there was no food during the snowstorm, there would be no Yuan Dynasty today. How could we support Penglai Kingdom, establish friendly relations with Penglai Kingdom, and build the current Yuan Dynasty?
The Yuan Dynasty today has the largest territory, the strongest army, and the most food among the Three Kingdoms.
Prosperity and prosperity is what the Yuan Dynasty is like now.
Although Shangguan Tang has not been to the Da Si Nong Temple for several years, the agricultural officials here still respect her very much, and the glory she created in the past has not diminished but increased.
After coming out of the Dasinong Temple, Shangguan Tang wanted to go home directly, but he saw Gongsun Wan'er's carriage at the gate of the Dasinong Temple.
"Wan'er, why are you here?"
Gongsun Wan'er looked at her and said, "I'm here to look for my cousin's wife."
Shangguan Tang noticed that something was wrong with her face: "You don't look very good, what happened?"
Gongsun Wan'er said aggrievedly, "That bastard Su Minglang kept a mistress outside without telling me."
