Chapter 376 Life experience
Prince Yu also smiled, and he looked at Jun Yuan again, "The Crown Prince is both civil and military, and is deeply loved by the people. The Emperor has trained him very well."
Jun Yunting smiled faintly, "Not bad at all."
Prince Yu walked behind Jun Yunting, his eyes darkened, because Jun Yuan was his biological son.
At that time, his princess consort and queen were both pregnant at the same time, and in order to exchange the children, he would make his son the emperor.
He carefully designed a plan to drug Princess Yu and the Queen to give birth to children at the same time.
That year, he colluded with nomadic tribes to rebel, and Jun Yunting was forced to lead the army in person.
He bribed the palace servants and made Jun Yuan and Jun Ling exchange identities.
Therefore, Ye Hanting who was far away in Da Chu was Jun Yunting’s biological son, the Prince of Da Xia.
Prince Yu casually broke off a dead branch and hid the ambition in his eyes.
He and Jun Yunting are brothers from the same mother, but from childhood to adulthood, the elder brother is better than him in every way.
My father and mother also prefer my eldest brother.
Naturally, the throne also belongs to the eldest brother.
Fortunately, he and his eldest brother looked very similar, so their two children looked alike too, which did not arouse Jun Yunting's suspicion.
Jun Yunting suddenly asked him.
"Have you heard of the Great Chu Emperor Chu Li? It is said that he is very popular among the people and is the last disciple of the Four Elders of Tianwu Mountain. He also successfully signed a fifty-year non-aggression agreement with the Golden Scale Kingdom."
Prince Yu smiled slightly, "Brother, the new emperor of Great Chu is a young boy, not to be feared."
Jun Yunting's eyes fell on Jun Yuan, "Compared to Yuan'er, Chu Li is much stronger."
"Your Majesty, this is too biased. Your Highness the Crown Prince just hasn't had the opportunity to show his strength. If he had, he would definitely be stronger than the emperor of that small country!"
Jun Yunting's eyes were deep. Yaohua came back from Da Chu and praised Chu Li highly.
I just don’t know whether Chu Li will be an enemy or a friend to Daxia in the future?
"Jun Ling has been away from Da Xia for so many years, and there is still no news?" Jun Yunting thought of his nephew who was extremely intelligent and had learned everything since childhood, and he still felt a little painful in his heart.
Prince Yu pretended to be sad, and said in a choked voice: "Brother, I sent many people to look for her, but unfortunately there is still no news."
Jun Yunting sighed, "I will send the Royal Secret Guards to various countries to look for it again."
Prince Yu's hair stood on end. Why did his brother send the royal guards to find Jun Ling?
He seemed not very satisfied with Jun Yuan's performance. Could it be that his brother wanted to give the position of crown prince to Jun Ling?
He bowed his head and thanked, "Thank you, my royal brother."
Jun Yunting waved his hand, "Don't talk about this. We are a family. If I can't find Jun Ling, I will feel bad too."
Prince Yu's eyes gradually became sinister. He absolutely could not let Jun Ling come back!
Jun Yaohua saw that his father and uncle were also there.
She didn't like her uncle's concern about her marriage, so she left the imperial garden to visit her grandmother.
She came to Shoukang Palace and looked at the Imperial Grandmother who was sitting in front of the gate basking in the sun from afar. The old lady liked Brother Jun Ling very much.
When Jun Ling's brother was ten years old, he left Da Xia. His life or death was unknown, and the Empress Dowager cried until she went blind.
Jun Yaohua felt unhappy. It had been so many years since Brother Jun Ling left, and the Royal Grandmother had been blind for many years.
Her father sought out many famous doctors, even inviting the medical saint Xue Jinghuai, but none of them could cure her eye disease.
"Grandmother, do you think these plum blossoms are fragrant?" Yaohua asked while squatting beside the Empress Dowager.
The amiable-looking Queen Mother sniffed it and said with a smile, "It smells good. Yaohua is still the most considerate."
Jun Yaohua smiled as she put the plum blossoms into the vase and lowered her voice to say to the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, I have a secret I want to tell you."
The Empress Dowager immediately dismissed her attendants, and Jun Yaohua helped her into the house.
After closing the door, she hesitated to speak.
She had promised Brother Jun Ling not to tell anyone about his affairs in the Great Chu Kingdom, but seeing the Empress Dowager like this, she really couldn't bear it.
"What's wrong, child?" the Queen Mother asked, extending her hand.
Jun Yaohua held the Empress Dowager's hand, and hot tears fell on the back of her hand.
The Queen Mother held Jun Yaohua's hand and frowned, "Good boy, who bullied you?"
"Grandmother, Brother Jun Ling is not dead!"
The Queen Mother held Jun Yaohua tightly with her hand, "What did you say?"
"Brother Jun Ling's name is now Ye Hanting. He was hunted down and almost died, but was saved by General Bai Zhenyuan. He is now the Grand Tutor of the Great Chu State."
Jun Yaohua felt the Imperial Grandmother's hands trembling, her brows furrowed and then relaxed, and tears flowed from her eyes again.
"Yaohua, are you telling the truth? Are you not lying to the Empress?"
Jun Yaohua told the Empress Dowager how Ye Hanting won the top three places in the imperial examinations and how he became the Grand Tutor.
She saw the smile on the Imperial Grandmother's face, "Imperial Grandmother, please don't cry. Brother Jun Ling said he will definitely come back!"
The Queen Mother held Jun Yaohua's hand and said, "Child, someone in the Great Xia Kingdom wants to harm your brother Jun Ling."
She took out a jade pendant from her bosom, "Take this, and dispatch the Black Gold Guards to Da Chu to protect your brother Jun Ling."
She shook Jun Yaohua's hand vigorously and said, "Don't tell anyone."
"Yes, Imperial Grandmother." Jun Yaohua felt a lot of pressure as she held the dragon and phoenix pendant left by her Imperial Grandfather to her Imperial Grandmother.
She had only heard that the Black Gold Guards were all masters, more powerful than the existing Royal Secret Guards.
But never saw them.
It can be seen that the Royal Grandmother may know who Jun Ling’s enemy is.
......
After Prince Yu returned to the palace, he closed the door and said gently to Princess Yu: "My royal brother doesn't seem to be very satisfied with Yuan'er."
Princess Yu was surprised, "Why? Yuan'er is good at riding and shooting, has great martial arts skills, and is well-educated..."
"Does His Majesty doubt Yuan'er's identity?" Princess Yu's pupils shrank.
Prince Yu helped Princess Yu sit down and looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
He whispered, "I have sent assassins to deal with Jun Ling. He will not come back alive."
Princess Yu patted her chest and said, "But Jun Ling was raised by us after all, I..."
Prince Yu's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Don't be soft-hearted. For the sake of our son, you have to be ruthless."
Princess Yu suddenly grabbed Prince Yu's hand and said, "Your Highness, what I am most worried about is that Rou'er and Yuan'er are getting too close. On the surface, they are cousins, but they don't know that they are actually siblings. If they develop feelings that they shouldn't have..."
She was really afraid. There were many ethnic groups in the Great Xia Kingdom, and cousins in some nomadic ethnic groups could marry each other.
Some military generals serving in the court married their cousins and widowed sisters-in-law.
She was too worried that her son and daughter might have some inappropriate thoughts.
Prince Yu sighed, "Don't worry, we need to keep an eye on Rou'er and avoid her going to the palace. We also need to find her a prince consort as soon as possible."
Princess Yu was still a little worried, "What did His Majesty say about Yuan'er's marriage?"
