Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine
Chapter 138: Princess Liang's Background
As soon as Prince Liang reached the gate of Prince Ning'an's mansion, a servant told him the news that Yin Wumei had committed suicide.
King Liang didn't even blink, and said coldly, "She's sensible."
He had been protecting her for some time, it was just her own fault.
He could fight against King Qi for her, because he and King Qi were not on good terms.
But I will never offend the emperor for her.
"what happened?"
Cui Panxi didn't hear what the servant reported, so she asked curiously.
"Nothing, let's go in."
The two walked to the Ning'an Palace, where Prince Ning'an and his wife were already waiting there.
Seeing her daughter, Princess Ning An quickly went over to greet her, "Xier."
The person who is most saddened when her daughter gets married is the mother. Princess Ning'an has been unable to eat or sleep well in the past two days.
I was worried that Cui Panxi was not having a good life in Prince Liang’s Mansion.
"Concubine, I miss you so much."
Cui Panxi was not used to the days away from Ning'an Palace, but after all, Prince Liang was nice to her.
Seeing the smile on her face, Prince Ning'an and his wife felt relieved.
"Father, Mother, and Big Brother."
In order to show closeness, King Liang also directly followed Cui Panxi's address.
Prince Ning'an was stunned, "Prince Liang, you don't have to be polite. Just call me by my old name."
The previous title was King Ning'an. King Liang smiled and said nothing.
Princess Ning An pinched her husband and said, "What are you talking about? We are all family. Just call me father and mother. Come in and sit down."
Prince Ning'an and Prince Liang sat in the main hall and chatted about random things.
Princess Ning'an and Cui Panxi went to the backyard and talked about women's private matters.
When it was time for lunch, Cui Panxi spoke at the suggestion of King Liang.
"Father, yesterday the Emperor said that he would hand over the patrol camp to King Liang. What do you think?"
Prince Ning'an raised his eyes and glanced at her. "This is the emperor's respect for Prince Liang. Prince Liang must manage him well and don't let the emperor down."
"Father is right." King Liang forced a smile.
"However, the sudden departure of my second brother has added a lot of government affairs to the court, and I am really too busy to handle them all. I am thinking about whether I should take over the position of the commander of the patrol camp."
"Since the Emperor has given this position to Your Highness, why don't you accept it?"
Cui Nanjin asked back, which made Prince Liang choke. If he didn't accept the question, it was naturally because he wanted to seek a higher position. He didn't believe that Prince Ning'an and the Crown Prince didn't understand.
They say this but they are just pretending to be ignorant.
"It's not that I don't want to accept it, I just want to ask for my father's opinion. Is it better to accept it or not?"
"Your Highness has already made up his mind about this matter. My opinion is not important."
Prince Ning'an still refused calmly. Prince Liang felt a little angry when he saw that he was not moved.
He reached under the table and gently pushed Cui Panxi.
Cui Panxi understood what she meant and could only say it despite herself.
"Father, King Liang and I are already married, and we are a family. If King Liang can't make up his mind, father will give him some advice. After all, the prince is young and doesn't know as much as father."
"Xi'er, there are some things that your father made very clear before you got married."
Faced with his daughter's pleading, King Ning'an remained unmoved. He would not support an unsuitable person for his own selfish reasons.
He knew too well how important a good monarch was to the people and the soldiers at the border.
"Father, are you going to push your daughter into a desperate situation?"
Cui Panxi closed her eyes in pain. Everything should have been a natural thing.
She married Prince Liang, and the Emperor named him the Crown Prince. Even if her father did not support her openly, it would be the result she wanted.
But how did things turn out like this? Just two days after getting married, she had to force the person she loved most for the sake of King Liang.
"Xier, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The princess was so scared that she quickly grabbed her hand. The thing she least wanted to see happened.
She looked at her husband with tearful eyes, "My Lord, please help them."
From the moment their daughter got married, the Ning'an Palace had no choice.
She doesn't understand state affairs, she just wants her daughter to be safe.
Cui Nanjin wanted to scold her, but when he saw his sister's red eyes, he couldn't bear to say those words.
After a long while, Prince Ning'an finally sighed and said, "Prince Liang, tomorrow morning at the court session, I will propose to the Emperor a proposal for a crown prince, but as for the Emperor's choice, I will not interfere."
After all, she is his most beloved daughter, so no matter how tough Prince Ning'an's words are, he will still be soft-hearted.
"Just one sentence is enough. Thank you, father."
Prince Liang was overjoyed. He knew that Cui Panxi was the lifeline of the Ning'an Palace.
As long as she is there, she is not afraid that King Ning'an will not support her.
But the next sentence, King Ning'an said.
"I will also submit my resignation. It is time for the Ning'an Palace to return to the northwest."
"Father."
Cui Panxi looked at him in disbelief. Didn’t he say that he would wait until she settled down before going back?
My mother said that I have to stay in the capital for at least two or three years.
There is no war in the border areas now, so it doesn't matter where King Ning'an is.
"That's it."
This was already the biggest concession made by Prince Ning'an. As long as he was not in the capital, Prince Liang would not be able to force his daughter.
"Let's eat."
Prince Liang didn't say anything else. After the morning court tomorrow, he would become the crown prince, and it wouldn't matter whether Prince Ning'an was in the capital or not.
When several people were having dinner, a servant suddenly came to report.
"Your Highness, the Dali Temple has sent a report. Your Highness and Princess, as well as Prince Liang's Princess, are requested to go to the Dali Temple."
"Are you all going? What are you doing here?" Cui Nanjin was puzzled. When the Dali Temple called people, it was basically related to murder cases.
"It seems that someone went to the Dali Temple to file a complaint of injustice, involving the Ning'an Palace, but no details were given."
"Nonsense, this Dali Temple is getting more and more outrageous. Shouldn't this lawsuit be filed at the government office? Why did it go to the Dali Temple?"
Prince Liang scolded. He didn't know what it was, but since it was an injustice, it should be tried in the government office.
"My subordinates don't know either."
The servant knew nothing about anything.
"If you don't tell us what it is, we won't go." King Liang scolded. Who do they think they are? A Dali Temple dares to summon them at will.
Prince Ning'an did not refute. Although he did not put on airs, he would not be humiliated. He would not go through with such an unclear situation.
"Prince Ning'an, Prince Liang."
A middle-aged man with a slender figure and dark skin, wearing a blue official uniform, walked in.
"Greetings to the two princes. I am the Minister of the Dali Temple, Pei Nan."
"Sir Pei, I thought you were drinking tea and waiting for us in the Dali Temple." Prince Liang said sarcastically. This Pei Nan was Prince Qi's man, so naturally he would not give him a good face.
"I dare not, but this matter is too strange. Before I find out the truth, I can't say anything. That's why I didn't dare to let the messenger tell me."
"Master Pei, what is the matter that is worthy of this prince and Prince Ning'an going to the Dali Temple in person?"
King Liang emphasized the word "personally" very strongly.
Pei Nan said calmly, "This matter involves the life experience of Princess Liang."
