Chapter 260 Then... give it a try?
Meng Yu looked at Zhao Susu with a serious expression: "Mom, if you want to agree, then agree. If you don't want to agree, then don't agree! No one can force you to do something you don't want to do, and no one will stop you from doing what you want to do!"
Jingyun Zhang was jealous.
This seems to be his daughter too!
Is this his twelve-year-old daughter?
Why did he hear a strong warning in her calm and confident words?
I say this with all sincerity.
Therefore, he traveled light and with a small group of people, because he didn't want her to think that he was using the emperor's power to bully others!
But then he thought, at least his daughter didn't object.
Just warn!
He turned to Zhao Susu again: "Mingzhu, if you are willing, ask the Ministry of Rites to quickly make the queen's dress and the princess' dress! On the day of the coronation ceremony, our family will be together, okay?"
Zhao Susu pondered for a moment before slowly raising her head: "I may not be able to manage the harem well, nor can I compete for favors, and I am impatient to stay in the deep palace all the time, so..."
"So you can rest assured, there is only you in the harem! You don't need to compete for favor with anyone. If I have any flaws, I will accompany you out of the palace to play. If you still want to take care of your business in the world, you can also go out of the capital to handle it. All is fine. My only request is that you have to let me know where you are and where you have been!"
Jing Yunzhang was afraid that she would say the following words, so he interrupted her in a hurry.
Zhao Susu: “…”
Her worries, uneasiness, concerns, fears and other complicated emotions really made her dare not agree, but Jing Yunzhang had already said this, and she seemed... to have no worries!
She said tentatively: "How about I... give it a try?"
Jing Yunzhang nodded quickly, a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll send someone to rush to Jiazhou to pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
He turned to Meng Yu with a smile on his face: "Xiaoyu, did you hear that? Your mother agreed! From now on, our family will be together!"
Meng Yu smiled and nodded.
It doesn’t matter whether you enter the palace or not, and it doesn’t matter whether you become a princess or not.
Although she was only twelve years old and had been in this world for nine years, she had done more in these nine years than others had done in ninety years!
Her perspective is not what it was when she first came to this world, so she takes many things lightly.
When did this mood begin to change?
Maybe it was when she became Wuzong, or maybe even earlier!
When she realized that her tiny palm could easily crush a piece of hard stone into powder;
When she could run from Jiazhou to the capital and back again overnight;
When she stood on the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise, and stood on an island to watch the sunset;
When she looked over the mountains and rivers;
When she snatched her life from the hands of Hades...
The more she experiences and the more she sees, the broader her horizons become!
From being an ordinary merchant's daughter, she suddenly became a princess of a country. In the eyes of others, it was a step-by-step achievement with unlimited honors, but in her eyes, it was nothing great.
She just wants Zhao Susu to be happy!
She can cooperate!
Of course, she wouldn't refuse to be a princess.
When she becomes a princess, she will be able to open a charity and take in those orphans with ease.
Also, she could promote the establishment of girls' schools throughout Dashan, and even persuade her newly-appointed father, the emperor, to hold a special examination for women so that women can serve as officials in the court. This should be possible, right?
Jing Yunzhang said: "Then let's not stay in the inn anymore, come back to the palace with me!"
So, Zhao Susu, who was originally planning to leave for Jiazhou tomorrow, actually moved to the palace with Meng Yu as if she were in a dream.
The news that the new emperor brought a woman and a child into the palace quickly spread throughout the capital.
Some ministers with ulterior motives were still thinking that the throne of Queen was vacant and that their daughters might have a chance to compete for that position. When they heard the news, they beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they were a step too slow.
Aren't you afraid that the new emperor will be difficult to talk to, so you're still waiting and watching?
As a result, someone else got there first.
However, there was soon a legend: this woman and child were not ordinary people. They were the wife that the new emperor married when he was among the common people and his daughter.
The ministers were stunned. It turned out that the new emperor had already married? Why was there no news at all?
The news they received was that the Ghost-faced General was so devoted to the war that he had no wife or children and would not get married, and even had servants serving him. In everyone's impression, this general with great military achievements seemed to have poured all his energy into the flames of war on the frontier, and was completely insulated from the love affairs of his children.
Some people even suspected that he had a romantic relationship with a man. Otherwise, it was not normal for a man in his thirties to not even have a woman.
It turns out that he already had a wife and daughter, and he hid them so well?
Officials in the capital, whether they knew him or not, did not know about this matter.
When his teacher Yuan Taifu and his uncle Pei Hongmiao heard the news, they stroked their beards and laughed. No one was more worried about Jing Yunzhang's personal problems than them.
Jing Yunzhang had been away from home for many years, and his personal life was blank. They had always worried that he would die alone or have no time to take care of his family, leaving regrets in his life. Now that they knew he already had a wife and a daughter, the heavy weight in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and they were filled with relief and joy.
Pei Hongmiao was even more surprised when he saw Zhao Susu by chance. He recognized her.
Before, when he was the principal of Ningshan County Academy, there was a famous clothing store owner in the county town. Wasn’t she his niece’s wife?
Before that, Master Zhou had mentioned a little girl who was not his student but was smarter and more intelligent than all the students he had ever taught. It was said that she had a photographic memory and could draw inferences from one example.
Master Zhou once expressed regret, saying that if the child was not a girl, she might become the youngest top scholar in the entire Shang Dynasty and have a bright future.
Isn’t that little princess the prodigy?
Unfortunately, Jing Yunzhang protected the mother and daughter very well and insisted on letting them appear on the day of the coronation ceremony.
Finally, the day of the coronation ceremony arrived.
The Ministry of Rites had already made preparations.
Inside the palace, there was an atmosphere of solemnity, magnificence and splendor.
The vermilion palace walls looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and the golden glazed tiles sparkled with brilliant light. A brand new red carpet was laid from the main entrance of the palace to the platform for the coronation ceremony, and it was embroidered with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns.
At the ceremony, the officials were dressed in gorgeous court robes and lined up neatly on both sides. The civil officials wore black gauze hats, court robes, and held tablets in their hands, with a dignified demeanor; the military officials were dressed in armor, looking majestic, with swords on their waists, showing their heroic spirit.
On the high platform, there is a golden dragon throne. Behind the dragon throne is a huge screen with magnificent scenes of mountains and rivers painted on it. On both sides of the high platform, there are rows of guards in golden armor standing. They hold long spears and stand tall.
The auspicious time arrived, and with the sound of a melodious bell, the coronation ceremony officially began.
