Qiu Feishan lowered her eyes when she heard this, and her eyes immediately became as indifferent as before.
"What should be done has been done, and now this commoner also understands what is most important. In order to win back his feelings, this commoner has spent all her strength in the past few days. It was not easy to make him change his mind, and this commoner does not want to lose him again. Moreover, it is rare for a family to gather together, and this is enough for me, and I cannot ask for more. "
Qin Yining smiled.
Qiu Feishan was really a person who knew how to speak, and these words not only showed her merit, but also completely catered to her preferences.
Qin Yining was very clear about what kind of person Qiu Feishan was. She said that she wanted to live in seclusion with Mu Jinghu in the mountains, but could she really completely let go of everything that she had worked for all these years? Could she not care about the convenience that the hidden aristocratic families brought to the court?
Qiu Feishan couldn't give up all fame and fortune for true love and family. She wasn't that kind of person.
Qin Yining did not know how sincere Qiu Feishan's words were.
But she did not say it out loud. Their status was now very different, and she could understand Qiu Feishan's desire to cater to her. In the end, Qin Yining did not care whether what Qiu Feishan said was true or false, and she had her own judgment. What was important was that Qiu Feishan would not harm Mu Jinghu, and Mu Jinghu really liked Qiu Feishan. Every family would reach its own balance, and she and Pang Xiao, as outsiders, should not interfere too much.
"To be able to find a way to live peacefully, that is great." Qin Yining smiled as she came to the corridor, and the red palace lanterns reflected a joyous atmosphere.
Not far away, the palace servants came in with firework sticks. Brother Zhao, Brother Han, and Brother Yan each held two sticks in their hands. A young eunuch came forward and carefully lit them. The firework sticks made a "sizzling" sound, and a bunch of silver flowers suddenly bloomed, illuminating the children's rosy and smiling faces. They jumped and shouted happily, waving their little arms in a circle. The bright firework left a long tail, leaving a circle of light in the air.
"Mother, Mother!" As soon as they saw Qin Yining and Qiu Feishan standing in the corridor, the three children ran over one after another.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Be careful. Don't fall or burn yourself. Take care of Brother Yan and be careful."
"I know! Mother, come and play! "Brother Han stuffed the fireworks stick into Qin Yining's hands. However, the moment he handed it over to Qin Yining, the fireworks went out.
The young eunuch on the side hurriedly came forward and lit two more sticks for Qin Yining, and then went back to serve the little princes.
Qin Yining also had a playful heart, so she simply played with the children in the courtyard for a while. The cheerful laughter spread far and wide.
Pang Xiao and Qin Huaiyuan were sitting in the side hall and talking. When they heard the laughter in the courtyard, they couldn't help but get up and come out to take a look.
In the courtyard, Qin Yining has become the king of the children. She is wearing a cloud brocade cross-collar phoenix robe.
Her rosy cheeks were much rosier than usual, and her bright eyes and white teeth were shining brightly.
Pang Xiao's heart was moved. After going through so much, Qin Yining could still laugh so happily. It could be seen that she had already accepted many things.
"I was originally worried that Sister Yi would be stubborn." Pang Xiao smiled and said to Qin Huaiyuan, "You and Mother-in-law want to take Brother Zhao back to Xiyue. To Sister Yi, it's like cutting off an arm. She misses her parents, and she also misses her children. Unfortunately, the mountain is high and the road is long, and she can't leave me behind to go with you. I know her pain … but it's all good now. Seeing her like this, I'm relieved. "
"Sister Yi isn't that kind of weak woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lived until I found her. She's a sensible child, and she's worth people sacrificing for her."
Qin Huaiyuan stood with his hands behind his back. His beard fluttered in the wind, and his smile was gentle. Even though he was no longer young, he was still the world-renowned wise Pan An. The aging of his face had been exchanged for the precipitation of time. This kind of steadiness accumulated from thousands of years of experience was something that Pang Xiao couldn't compare to.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. I don't dare to forget Sister Yi's kindness to me for a moment over the years. My feelings for her are even deeper than before. I know Father-in-law is worried about Sister Yi, and you can't trust me … "
"No. Your Majesty. " Qin Huaiyuan looked at Pang Xiao with a smile and interrupted him, "Of course I trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to leave my daughter and grandson by your side. But I also know that you're in a difficult position. When you were an official, it was inevitable that you would make some in-laws in order to win over your colleagues. You couldn't refuse the beautiful concubines that your colleagues gave you. As an emperor, this kind of thing will only happen more often. It's not that I don't trust your character, but I understand all too well the difficulties involved. "
Qin Huaiyuan smiled again, "But as a father, it's my responsibility to leave a way out for my daughter, and it's also my intention. This has nothing to do with establishing an independent dynasty or anything like that."
Pang Xiao also had trusted strategists. Those officials who had contributed to the Emperor's ascension all had their own thoughts. A few of his most trusted aides also knew about the matter of Xiyue. Qin Huaiyuan was unwilling to stay in the capital to retire, but instead wanted to bring the Eldest Prince to Xiyue to develop his career. This inevitably made these officials suspicious.
How old was the Eldest Prince? As long as Qin Huaiyuan had the heart to be independent, he could easily control this child. When the time came for Xiyue to develop and grow, wouldn't it become the second Tatan?
The reason why no one spoke of these suspicions in front of Pang Xiao was because Pang Xiao had doted on and respected Qin Yining these days. It made the subordinates think more before speaking.
But even if no one said it, how could someone as experienced as Qin Huaiyuan not think of it? He said this to let Pang Xiao know his thoughts. People's hearts were easy to change. This was to prevent Pang Xiao from thinking of this in the future and feeling resentment and fear.
How could Pang Xiao not understand Qin Huaiyuan's meaning?
He repeatedly waved his hand and solemnly said: "I understand father-in-law's meaning. We are a family. There's no need to beat around the bush. To say something that might seem hypocritical, when I first decided to conquer the world, eighty percent of the reason was so that Sister Yi and our entire family would no longer be tortured and manipulated by others. It doesn't make sense that now that I'm finally standing in this position, I've forgotten my original intentions. "
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded. He naturally understood that Pang Xiao was speaking the truth.
It was just that times had changed. How many people's hearts could remain unchanged for tens of years?
Bing Tang and Huzi, Ji Yun and Tang Xiu, and Lian Xiaozhou and Fang Hailing's wedding day was set for the sixteenth day of the first month.
Qin Yining had the three brides stay in his palace on the fifteenth day.
"Tomorrow evening, you will be married at my place. Right now, you don't have parents or relatives. I am your maternal family, and Kunning Palace is your maternal family." Qin Yining looked at the three people in front of him and said rather emotionally, "When you return home in three days, I will send someone to bring you back. Have you looked at the dowry list? Is there anything else that I missed? "
