Chapter 155 Nangong Rui's Life Story
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh, Nangong Rui's life story? ]
Daju: [His mother is Nangong Qi’s original wife.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Qi has another wife? How come I have never heard of it? ]
Daju: [Before he became the crown prince, he married a very virtuous and beautiful woman, but she was of a low social status.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [In ancient times, it was important to marry a woman from a low-class family and marry a woman from a high-class family. Besides, Nangong Qi is a prince, and there aren't many girls in Ming Ning Kingdom who are of higher status than him, right?]
Daju: [Nangong Rui's mother became pregnant with Nangong Rui soon after she entered the family. When she was pregnant, Nangong Qi didn't know what was wrong with him, and he married concubines one after another.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [There can’t be too many women in a family, as they will become jealous.]
Daju: [Nangong Rui's mother was pregnant, and Nangong Qi listened to one of his concubines and fed her a lot of tonic.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I am familiar with this plot. As a result, Nangong Rui's mother had a difficult childbirth and either died or her body was completely broken.]
Daju: [In the latter case, she survived, but she was also sick. Finally, when Nangong Rui was six months old, she was poisoned. When she died, she was naked. Rumors spread in the imperial city that the prince's wife was unfaithful.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No wonder there are no rumors about the Crown Prince's mother in the streets of Mingning.]
Daju: [When his mother was dying, she used all means to meet the late Emperor Nangong Yan and begged him to pity her grandson and let him take care of him more.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui was raised by Nangong Yan? ]
Daju: [No! He had a bad life when he was young. Although Nangong Yan agreed, he was too busy and forgot about it. Nangong Rui grew up with Nangong Qi until he was three years old. He could recite poems and write articles at the age of three. Nangong Yan who happened to pass by heard about it and then he was taken seriously by Nangong Yan.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How was his life before he was three years old? ]
Daju: [Several concubines took turns to trip him up, hoping to make him disappear. Fortunately, his mother left him a few loyal servants to protect him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where are Nangong Qi's concubines now? ]
Daju: [All were dealt with by Nangong Yan. After Nangong Qi became emperor, all the women around him were replaced, and the empress was appointed later. All traces of his original wife were erased. Nangong Rui also has no memory of his biological mother. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Did Nangong Yan give Nangong Rui a new identity? ]
Daju: [That’s right. After Nangong Rui came to prominence, Nangong Yan ordered that no one should talk about Nangong Rui’s biological mother anymore. After all, Nangong Rui’s biological mother did see a man before she died. This was said by Nangong Rui’s biological mother’s personal maid.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Having such a mother is a stain on Nangong Rui, so Nangong Yan erased all traces of his mother? ]
Daju: [That's right, Nangong Rui was able to make plans for the country at the age of five, and he had quite a lot of ideas. When Nangong Yan was choosing an heir, he gathered all the princes and grandchildren together, gave them questions, and asked them to answer them. Nangong Rui's answers satisfied Nangong Yan the most.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui was made the crown prince, but because he was too young to ascend the throne, Nangong Qi was made emperor first.]
Daju: [You still remember. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [So, the prince has come of age, and he should be the emperor. Did Nangong Yan leave any will? ]
Daju: [Yes, but Nangong Qi found it and destroyed it.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It seems that we have to force this dog emperor to hand over the throne voluntarily. ]
Daju: [What you told me to do should make him stop clinging to the throne.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [We have to act quickly.]
Daju: [You really care about Nangong Rui's affairs. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [We are in the same camp. We can only be well if he is well. If he doesn't become the emperor in the end, to whom should my father's imperial decree be loyal?]
Daju: [Your father will be loyal to whoever is the emperor. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Come on, from what you said, there aren't many good people in the Nangong family. I don't want my father to work for trash.]
Daju: [Think about it for a while. I need to rest for a while. I ate too much last night and haven’t digested it yet.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [You take a rest. I want to talk to my mother.]
Big Orange curled up on the low couch, gurgling, and soon fell asleep.
Tian Xiaoxiao ran to Tian Lele, and Tian Lele pretended to be still tracing and continued writing. Lin Yunzhi also quickly pointed at Tian Lele's words, criticizing Tian Lele for not writing the downward stroke well and asking him to continue practicing.
"Mom, can I ask you to write a letter to Dad?" Tian Xiaoxiao acted cute, and her soft voice melted Lin Yunzhi's heart.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want mother to do? Just tell me!"
Lin Yunzhi hugged Tian Xiaoxiao into his arms.
"I will write a letter to my father later. Can you help me send it to him as quickly as possible?" Tian Xiaoxiao's hand was stroking Lin Yunzhi's hair, a seemingly casual request.
"Okay, go and write quickly. Mother still needs to watch your sister write and embroider."
"Okay. Then I'll go to the study to write." Tian Xiaoxiao skipped away, and before leaving, she did not forget to quietly carry the big orange away.
After seeing Tian Xiaoxiao leave the flower hall, Nangong Rui walked in. After greeting Lin Yunzhi, he also moved a stool to watch Tian Lele trace the red characters.
Lin Yunzhi saw that Nangong Rui’s eyes were red, and thought that this man must have heard Xiaoxiao and Daju’s thoughts, so he didn’t say much.
"Aunt, I..." Nangong Rui wanted to ask Lin Yun about his biological mother, but swallowed the words back.
"Your Highness, a big news has exploded on your head, right?" Tian Lele gloated.
"Sister Lele, I just found out today that I actually have such a story. I have to thank Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know how miserable I am. I would still be immersed in the fantasy that I govern Xijing and Mingning well."
"Your Highness, don't give up on yourself after self-reflection. Remember what Xiaoxiao said, 'To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.' You have endured for so many years, it's time for you to take the throne in your hands." Lin Yunzhi taught Nangong Rui earnestly.
"I understand. I'll go back soon. Things are going to change in Xijing.
Aunt, if you know what Xiaoxiao is planning, please send someone to tell me. I want to cooperate with her in this scheme."
"That girl has big ideas, but don't worry, she still knows her limits. Besides, the chaos in Xijing is also good for you."
"Aunt, I'm going back to the palace first. Don't tell Xiaoxiao that I was here today."
"Okay, go back and make the arrangements! In this emergency, you have to be extremely careful with the food and drink expenses in the palace, so as not to get yourself assassinated."
"Yes. Thank you, auntie! If you want to contact me, just have someone leave a message at a tea stand called Tan's at the foot of the Imperial City, and I will come out of the Imperial City."
"it is good!"
"I'll take my leave now! I know what I want, and I will get the power as soon as possible!"
