Chapter 565: The Imperial Family of the Former Dynasty
Zhao Jiuling was explaining the accounting of a new batch of goods to Xue Jingshu when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him and his shoulders stiffened slightly.
Xue Jingshu turned her head in confusion and saw a beautiful girl standing by the door, staring at Zhao Jiuling.
She subconsciously took a step back.
"Brother Zhao..." Xue Jingshu reminded quietly, "The girl behind seems to be looking for you."
Zhao Jiuling slowly turned his head and his deep gaze fell on Ruan Zhaoxia.
"Zhao Jiuling, come here!" Ruan Zhaoxia spoke again.
"Huh?" Ruan Zhaoxi came over and looked at Zhao Jiuling with his head tilted.
It turns out he is so handsome, no wonder his sister refuses to marry anyone else.
"Miss Ruan." Zhao Jiuling handed the account book in his hand to Xue Jingshu, and then walked towards Ruan Zhaoxia.
He glanced sideways at Ruan Zhaoxi.
Ruan Zhaoxi grinned at him, "Are you Zhao Jiuling?"
"It is me, Master Ruan."
"Are you hiding from me?" Ruan Zhaoxia stared at him with her clear eyes.
"No." Zhao Jiuling avoided her gaze.
Ruan Zhaoxia held his hand and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Miss Ruan..." Zhao Jiuling's ears turned red, and he looked at her with restraint and forbearance.
"I've come to see you, what are you still worried about? Even my brother is here, so of course my father agreed." Ruan Zhaoxia said, biting her lip.
Zhao Jiuling was slightly stunned and for a moment did not understand what Ruan Zhaoxia meant.
"Your Yingzui Bay Port, your commercial street, which child of aristocratic family do you think can achieve such success?"
My father said that not everyone can accomplish such a great feat that will benefit future generations.
Ruan Xinglin admires Zhao Jiuling very much.
"Agree to what?" Zhao Jiuling asked in surprise.
"Maybe... he agreed to let Miss Ruan marry you, Brother Zhao." Xue Jingshu reminded in a low voice.
Zhao Jiuling opened his mouth and asked, "Really?"
"My father agrees, but I haven't agreed yet." Ruan Zhaoxi snorted.
Ruan Zhaoxia turned around and glared at him, "What does it have to do with you?"
"I want to see the commercial street." Ruan Zhaoxia said to Zhao Jiuling with a smile again.
The smile in Zhao Jiuling's eyes was like the warm sunshine in spring, "Okay."
……
Shen Sui'an was taking a walk in the garden. As she got older, she would walk in the garden for half an hour every day.
Jiang walked side by side with her.
Cheng'er took Chao'er to play in the pavilion.
"Miss Ruan is really with Jiuling..." Jiang was delighted and happy for Zhao Jiuling.
"Aiya, the Prime Minister has a keen eye for heroes. Jiuling is a smart and capable child, but his family background is not so good. How can he not be compared with the young masters of aristocratic families? He is even more handsome."
Shen Sui'an was also happy, and she had already thought about how to hold a grand wedding.
"We will be Jiuling's family in the future. We have to worry about his marriage and can't be careless." Jiang said.
"Mother, Jiu Ling's marriage really has to be left to you. I'm worried that by the time the pregnancy is too advanced, there will inevitably be omissions." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.
Jiang immediately agreed, "Don't worry, I have prepared all the betrothal gifts for him, and I will definitely not let the Ruan family find any mistakes."
"I really didn't expect that the Ruan family would agree to marry their daughter to Jiu Ling." Jiang sighed again.
She admired the Ruan family's breadth of mind and vision.
Zhao Jiuling is not from a noble family now, but with his efforts, he will be able to become a powerful family in the future.
Shen Sui'an said, "The aristocratic families also have resources accumulated from generation to generation."
"Princess, this is Ningshuang's letter." Banjian came in with the letter.
"You go and do your work, I'll take care of the child," said Jiang.
Shen Sui'an: "Mother, I'll be back soon."
Ningshuang and Qingsu are still keeping an eye on the fake He Zhitian in Dongning, but this "He Zhitian" does nothing in Dongning. He goes in and out with different appearances every day, either drinking in restaurants or having fun in gambling houses.
"Have you found He Jingyao?" Shen Suian raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the letter.
……
He Jingyao felt that after he went to Yong Dynasty, his whole life was like a dream.
When he was in the Southern Dynasty, as the nephew of He Zhiyuan, he was loved by everyone since birth and grew up smoothly and without worries. If nothing unexpected happened, he would hold a high position in the court in the future.
Until he went to Yong Dynasty.
Fu Jinyuan and Shen Suian are the nightmares of his life.
He was frustrated several times with them and never succeeded.
After his legs were broken, he thought he was dead, but he was saved by someone using him as a bargaining chip.
He was in a daze and remained unconscious day after day.
When he woke up again, he was no longer called He Jingyao. They said he was King Xiaoyao.
He became Boo Woo-hyun.
Ridiculous and sad.
His mother told him to be obedient and accept his fate, saying that he was supposed to be the second prince, but his status was usurped by Concubine Liu and her son.
If he was a prince, why did he have to endure so much suffering?
He Jingyao gnawed at his own resentment day after day.
Finally calmed down.
So what if I'm unwilling?
He had no soldiers or power, his legs could barely support him in walking, and his martial arts skills were completely useless.
He can only live as a free and easy king in Dongning and survive.
until……
He just came to the teahouse to kill time, but an ordinary man slipped him a note.
There were only three words written on the note: He Zhitian.
He Jingyao tried every possible means to bring that person into the palace.
"Who are you?" He Jingyao looked at the man in front of him.
Old, depressed, and destitute, there is no memory of this person at all.
"I am your biological father. You are a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and so am I," he said.
He Jingyao felt that he was being made a fool of. The previous dynasty had been destroyed many years ago, so where did the descendants come from?
"Since you are old, I will spare your life. Go away." He Jingyao was losing interest.
"My name is Zhao Chenning. The He family was a minister of my previous dynasty. Over the years, He Zhiyuan has been working for me."
"Yu'er, you are the son of Concubine Liu and me, not that dog emperor's." Zhao Chenning said in a deep voice.
He wanted to explain in detail, but he didn't have time. He was anxious for Fu Yuxuan to believe him.
"You called me...Yu'er?" He Jingyao smiled.
It turned out that the other party didn't know that he was actually replacing Fu Yuxuan's identity.
It turns out that Fu Yuxuan is not the son of the late emperor. No wonder he died.
No wonder his mother and he came to Dongning.
This must be the truth that his mother had never told him.
"I gave you your name." Zhao Chenning's face was full of pride.
"This Southern Dynasty should have belonged to us. How can we let the Ruan family control it? Yu'er, do you want to take back the world?"
"I can help you!"
He Jingyao looked at him quietly, "I am just a free and easy king, I have no soldiers and no power, how do you want to rebel and seize the throne?"
"The King of the Western Regions will help us!" said Zhao Chenning.
"If Fu Jinyuan hadn't come back, we would have succeeded long ago. He Zhiyuan is too stupid. He is no match for Fu Jinyuan."
He Jingyao's eyes flickered as he thought of He Zhiyuan who had always loved him.
"Where is Prime Minister He now?" he asked.
Zhao Chenning mocked: "He went to the sea to find treasure for me. If he finds it, I will be rich enough to rival a country. Then it will be easy to recruit soldiers and horses."
"Why should the Western Regions help you?" He Jingyao asked.
"They only want Suzhou. We give up Suzhou and get the Southern Dynasty. This is a good deal!"
