Chapter 728 The Princess of the Ming Dynasty (11)
Wangyou and Tang Qilin's wedding was held in the capital. On the day of the wedding, the red bridal procession stretched for miles.
After their marriage, the two settled down in Qingzhou.
Zhu Yunwen was made crown prince, and Zhu Biao irresponsibly sent him to Wangyou Education, where Wangyou used him to pass the time in his spare time.
Moreover, Zhu Yunwen's arrival greatly relieved Wangyou's worries; there was no other reason than that she had a very clingy husband.
Qingzhou later became the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty and an ideal retirement home for the royal family. Although other places followed Qingzhou's development model, they were never quite the same.
Later, the Ming Dynasty emperors' greatest wish was to retire as soon as possible.
At the age of seventy, Wangyou felt that her time was coming to an end. She held Tang Qilin's hand and looked at the peach blossoms for a long time before closing her eyes.
Tang Qilin watched his wife pass away in his arms, then closed his eyes and followed her.
……
Later generations.
"The tomb of Princess Zhenguo of the Ming Dynasty has been discovered, but there are only clothes inside, no remains." In a university dormitory, a boy rubbed his forehead, excitedly saying.
"The legend has it that the bodies of Princess Zhenguo and her husband, Duke Xin, have ascended to heaven, presumably becoming immortals."
"Princess Zhenguo changed the course of an entire dynasty. We are grateful to Princess Zhenguo for opening our eyes to the world and allowing us to stop learning those bird languages."
"It's just that Princess Zhenguo didn't want to be the empress, otherwise she would definitely be the greatest empress of her generation."
"That's right. It's said that Princess Zhenguo hates trouble. Being the emperor would be the most troublesome thing for her."
"It's a pity that, according to historical records, Princess Zhenguo and her husband were both exceptionally beautiful, but not a single portrait of them has survived."
"Historical records also state that the imperial son-in-law, Tang Qilin, was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and especially loved painting. He painted hundreds of portraits of his wife, Princess Zhenguo, but unfortunately, none of them survived, and no one burned them. Where did all those portraits go?"
……
In the space of his own destiny, someone looked at the stacks of portraits and felt secretly delighted.
Wangyou never expected that this person would be so stingy as not to leave behind even a portrait. At least leave a portrait for his funeral!
"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot, go and refine the merit on your body." Wangyou patted Zhang Qilin on the shoulder and laughed.
"it is good."
Wangyou checked the Pangu statue and, judging from its complexion, estimated that Pangu was recovering well. As usual, Wangyou transferred half of the merit to it.
Looking at the refining progress of the others, Xie Yuchen would be fine in another thousand years. As for Qi Sinian, Fatty Wang, and Chaoyang, it would probably take at least ten thousand years to fully integrate.
If there were no problems, I forgot to go to sleep.
When she woke up, she unsurprisingly saw Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin.
Looking at their cultivation levels, both were at the Quasi-Saint stage. With more experience, they could become Saints.
"Let's go to the next world." Wangyou chose a world that left her with lingering regrets and entered it.
……
Wuguo, Ningjia in Jiangdong.
When news of the Ning family head's death arrived, his wife's water broke in grief, and their seven-month-old fetus was about to be born.
Five-year-old Ning Yuanzhou looked at the delivery room with tears in his eyes, unwilling to leave.
Fortunately, both mother and daughter were safe in the end. After giving birth, Gu endured her grief and postpartum weakness, took care of her husband's funeral arrangements, and raised her two children on her own.
"Mother, my brother stole my snacks again," Wangyou said, tilting her little head up to continue complaining.
"Your mother told you to eat less pastries, as they cause indigestion. I'm doing this for your own good," Ning Yuanzhou said with a smile, taking a bite of a pastry.
“Mother, look, my brother is making fun of me again. He thinks I’m fat.”
"I didn't! You're lying! When did I ever say you were fat?"
"You're telling me to eat less because you think I'm fat."
"What kind of nonsense is this? Your brother is only doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if you eat too many snacks, you won't be able to sleep at night." Madam Gu said with a helpless smile as she watched her two children playing around.
"Fine!" Wangyou glared at her brother, huffing and puffing as she decided to ignore him for the time being.
"Little sister, you can't have any more snacks today. I'll buy you candied hawthorns tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, then I won't be angry with you anymore, brother." The siblings made up again.
"Our young master and young lady have such a good relationship."
"Yes, that puts my mind at ease." Madam Gu suppressed a few coughs. Her health had been fluctuating over the years, and she didn't know when she would break down.
Wangyou glanced at her mother with some worry. Her mother was very important to her, but even her mother couldn't use the things in that treasure. She could only use the spiritual spring water to nourish her mother's body little by little, and dared not use too much even once.
However, if you take good care of it like this, it will eventually heal.
It wasn't that no one in the Ning family's collateral branches had designs on them, but fortunately, Gu Shi was born into the Gu family, a family of scholars and poets, so the other members of the Ning family weren't so blatant.
Wangyou has been in good health over the years, and the worries caused by premature birth have been resolved.
Ever since Wangyou started practicing martial arts, the Ning family has been living in constant chaos.
The problem is that at first, the eldest young master could suppress the young lady because he started learning martial arts earlier, but as time went on, it became the young lady who was suppressing the eldest young master. Ning Yuanzhou was either working hard or on his way to work hard every day.
Ning Yuanzhou's talent is already quite good, but compared to Wangyou, he is utterly worthless.
When Ning Yuanzhou was twelve and Wangyou was seven, Gu moved to Wudu with her two children.
Wudu has a boys' school but no girls' school, so Wangyou invited a teacher to teach at home. As for Ning Yuanzhou, Gu's mother, believing that boys should be toughened up, sent him to the academy.
"Mother, I want to be an official in the future. I want to enter the Six Paths Hall of Wu Kingdom and control the intelligence of the world." Fourteen-year-old Ning Yuanzhou made a vow.
"Since you've made up your mind, then do it."
"Brother, keep going!" Wangyou offered her words of encouragement.
Wangyou was also racking her brains. The Wu Kingdom had only been established for a little over twenty years and was not very stable. There were also the An Kingdom and Beipan outside. The three kingdoms were in a tripartite balance of power and did not interfere with each other for the time being.
Wangyou wants to establish a massive intelligence agency, an organization even more powerful than the Six Paths Hall of Wu Kingdom, the Zhu Yiwei of An Kingdom, and the Bad People of Chu Kingdom.
However, Wangyou didn't intend to tell her mother and brother about this idea. She wanted to work hard in secret and then amaze everyone.
After that day, Ning Yuanzhou was busy entering the Six Paths Hall, and Wangyou was busy establishing the Thousand Machines Pavilion. The brother and sister were extremely busy.
This is why the changes in the Gu family were overlooked.
Wangyou doesn't know that doctors are benevolent, but while they can cure the disease, they cannot heal the heart.
When Wangyou was thirteen, Gu Shi still passed away. Wangyou couldn't save her, because their mother lost the will to live after seeing that the two of them had grown up. She missed her husband.
Wangyou never met her father, but she knew that he and her mother were extremely loving, a love that seemed to transcend life and death.
