Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the first day of June last year, the Emperor issued an imperial edict in the court and conferred titles to a few adult princes—the Empress’s eldest prince was Prince Qing, Worthy Consort Xu’s second prince, Yan Huaijing, was Prince Jing, the third prince was Prince Wu, and the fourth prince was Prince Zhao. As for the fifth prince, because of his marriage alliance with the Commandery
Princess of Xiongnu, he was the first to be conferred the title of Prince Cheng.
The reason why Yu Wan remembered it so clearly was because on the same day the princes were conferred the title of princes, Yan Jiuchao was conferred the title of Princely Heir Yan.
Yan Jiuchao had become the Princely Heir, so she was the Princely Heir Consort. Because of this, she was very happy for a while. Even now, when she recalled it, that joy was still vivid in her mind.
Yu Wan had not thought of Yan Huaijing for a long time and had almost forgotten the existence of such a person. If she had not suddenly heard her uncle mention him, she might have remembered such a person before entering the Capital.
Yu Wan said thoughtfully, “His Majesty… is so seriously ill… He needs a prince to supervise the country..
Helian Beiming said, “According to the news, he went hunting. In the end, he fell off his horse and suffered a stroke. After that, he was paralyzed in bed.”
“Is it the Emperor’s idea to have Prince Jing supervise the country?” Yu Wan asked.
Helian Beiming nodded. “I think so.” That was what the information he received said.
Yu Wan touched her chin. “Although the Emperor has many princes under him, Prince Jing is the most outstanding. It’s not strange for him to supervise the country. However… The Emperor has sent the Empress to listen to politics. It seems that he’s still a little worried about Prince Jing.”
She did not know if he was worried about his ability or his ambition.
The Empress and Worthy Consort Xu did not get along, and the Empress had
Prince Qing under her. If she were to listen to politics, it would definitely cause
Yan Huaijing a lot of trouble. However, it was not entirely true that the Emperor was praising the Empress and Prince Qing. If he really praised them, he would let Prince Qing supervise the country.
The Emperor’s actions seemed to be balancing the forces of both sides, not letting either side appear too much.
Yu Wan muttered, “I don’t understand the Emperor’s actions. Logically speaking, at this time, he should let the Crown Prince supervise the country. If he doesn’t have the Crown Prince, he’ll be conferred the title of Crown Prince. If he can’t confer the title for the time being, then the prince who supervises the country might very well become the Crown Prince in the future. However, he doesn’t seem to be encouraging Yan Huaijing’s power.”
Helian Beiming noticed that his niece had accidentally called Prince Jing by his name. He paused and asked, “Ah Wan, are you very familiar with Prince Jing?”
Yu Wan said bluntly, “We’ve interacted a few times and owed him a favor. He also came to snatch me during the wedding.”
It was fine at the beginning, but what was with Prince Jing snatching her during the wedding?
Helian Beiming frowned at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan did not mention much about her past in the Helian family, mainly because she was unwilling to say it out loud to make her family worry. However, her relationship with Yan Huaijing might involve the diplomatic relationship between the two countries. She should explain to Helian Beiming what kind of person Yan Huaijing was and what kind of character he had.
Yu Wan said slowly, “That was a year ago. At that time, I was still a little village girl from Lotus Flower Village and happened to save Yan Huaijing. Two years later, Yan Huaijing recognized me and wanted to marry me as a secondary consort, but I didn’t agree.”
Helian Beiming could not stand it anymore when he heard the words
‘secondary consort’. The legitimate daughter of the Helian family, the dignified Commandery Princess of Nanzhao Nation, was actually only worthy of entering the manor to be his secondary consort?
What an arrogant bastard!
Actually, Helian Beiming also knew that at that time, Yan Huaijing most likely didn’t know Yu Wan’s background and only treated her as an ordinary village girl. It was already an exaggeration for a village girl to enter the manor as a slave, let alone a secondary consort.
However, Helian Beiming felt uncomfortable. His Ah Wan was worthy of the best man in the world!
Helian Beiming snorted. “He doesn’t even know your background, so why did Little Jiu marry you without caring about his status? I think he’s still a bastard! ”
That was because compared to Yan Jiuchao, Yan Huaijing was quite a bastard.
Yu Wan had been in the ancient times for so long. Although she had not completely assimilated, she could accept many things from the past. For example, if she looked at Yan Huaijing from her current position, she would feel that it was not too wrong for him to suggest letting her be a secondary consort back then. But he should never have pestered her unscrupulously after she rejected him.
She had already left the Great Zhou for a year. Yan Huaijing should have forgotten about her.
Helian Beiming continued, “Speaking of Prince Jing, there’s something else I forgot to tell you.”
“What?” Yu wan asked.
“He’s married. He married the daughter of the Prime Minister.” However, he did not find out her name. The name of the Central Plains woman seemed to be hidden from outsiders..
