Chapter 427 What Happened That Year
"This... I can't accept it. Ning Chuchu's eyes made Ling Chu blush, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But Ning Chuchu held her hand and smiled gently, "The elders' gift cannot be refused. I liked you very much when I saw you. It's just a small gift. Wear it."
The emperor sat aside and smiled, "Princess Jiashan, please accept it. This gift is rare. I want it, but I don't have it yet."
Although the emperor was smiling and his tone was kind, Ling Chu saw a touch of envy and... jealousy in his expression?
Ling Chu was surprised for a moment, but he understood it after a while.
The world belongs to the emperor. Of course, he is not jealous of a bracelet. He should be jealous of Ning Chuchu's attitude towards her.
The emperor felt very uncomfortable. Ning Chuchu was excited and happy to see Ning Chuyi. Now she is also affectionate to Ling Chu, but cold to him.
He can't get angry yet, after all, he has let her down.
Ning Chu Yi didn't say anything, just stood aside silently, but his eyes were gentle when he looked at Ling Chu.
Ling Chu hesitated for a while, and finally accepted the bracelet.
Ning Chuchu's smile became even brighter, and she wanted to hold Ling Chu and Ning Chuyi and not let go.
But the emperor finally saw Ning Chuchu, and he still had a lot to say to her.
How could he be willing to see Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu standing in front of him and Chuchu? Seeing Ling Chu accept the bracelet, he immediately ordered them to leave, "You have been traveling for such a long time, and you are tired. Go down and rest first."
Ning Chuchu's smile paused, but she also knew that since the emperor came to Xuanqing Temple, it was time to put an end to the things that happened that year.
She patted Ling Chu's hand, looking at her and Ning Chuyi reluctantly, "You go down and rest first, I'll ask someone to go down the mountain to buy some fresh ingredients. You must come tomorrow and try my cooking. "
The emperor had never tasted Ning Chuchu's cooking skills, so Ling Chu dared not ask her to cook. But seeing Ning Chuchu looking at her expectantly, it was difficult to refuse, so she could only smile and nod politely, "Okay."
Ning Chuyi didn't say anything, but she looked pretty good.
Although Ning Chuchu was a little disappointed, she knew that she couldn't rush it. She gave birth to Ning Chuyi, but she didn't raise him for a day, so her son was naturally not close to her.
She owed her son a lot, but he didn't show any resentment towards her, which made her very happy.
The emperor's expression of driving people away was too obvious, and Ling Chu didn't want to stay any longer, so she took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Ning Chuyi followed her out silently.
After the two of them left, the emperor couldn't wait to ask about what happened that year, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye that year? Do you know that I was looking for you everywhere like crazy?
But you faked your death, and you ran away, even gave birth to Yi'er, and hid your identity from him.
What happened back then? "
When the emperor mentioned the past, he was inevitably excited.
But Ning Chuchu was calm.
Back then, she had loved and hated.
She had been sad, desperate, and in pain...
But after so many years, she had let it go.
She is no longer the girl who only had love in her eyes. Now she is seriously ill and has not much time left. She just wants to spend the rest of her life with her son.
Fulfill her mother's responsibilities.
Ning Chuchu glanced at the emperor unexpectedly, and was a little surprised by his excitement. She thought that after so many years, he had married the queen and taken in countless concubines, and had long forgotten what happened back then.
"Back then...after that night, I was full of joy, waiting for you to come to Ningguo Mansion to propose marriage. But I waited and waited, but no one from your mansion came.
But I waited for Queen Xu and Concubine An. "
Speaking of the past, Ning Chuchu's voice was cold and calm.
But back then, she was in agony.
Originally, she and Xiao Jingzong were in love.
Before he ascended the throne, she went to him happily to ask when he would find someone to propose marriage.
As a result,
he found out that he had taken an aphrodisiac.
Once Xiao Jingzong saw her, he didn't want to let go. At that time, they loved each other, and he had already promised to marry her.
Seeing that he could endure the pain, she softened her heart for a moment and gave him her innocence.
After waking up, she was shy and flustered, and quietly ran back to the mansion while he was still asleep.
She was full of joy waiting for him to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.
But she waited and waited, but there was no news.
Just when she couldn't help but go to him to ask, Empress Xu, her handkerchief friend Xu Yuanyue, ran to her boudoir with a shy and happy face.
In front of her, he untied his clothes and pointed to the ambiguous red marks all over his body to tell her.
The Xiao family had already made an appointment with her. They were engaged, and Xiao Jingzong loved her and had performed the Zhougong ceremony with her. He wanted to marry her as his wife and his queen.
Xu Yuanyue's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Ning Chuchu was in agony.
She couldn't believe that Xiao Jingzong had just agreed to marry her, but in the blink of an eye, he had physical contact with another woman and wanted to marry her as his queen.
But Xu Yuanyue showed her the marriage certificate between the Xiao and Xu families.
Her name and Xiao Jingzong's name were clearly written on it.
Ning Chuchu was hit hard, but it wasn't over yet.
Within two days, An Meiying also came to announce the good news to her.
In order to get the support of the An family, Xiao Jingzong ascended the throne smoothly. He also made an engagement with the An family and promised to marry An Meiying as a concubine after ascending the throne.
Ning Chuchu didn't want to believe that she loved the wrong person, but the jade pendant An Meiying wore was a token of love that she and Xiao Jingzong exchanged.
A man who claimed to love her and wanted to marry her changed his mind in the blink of an eye.
He also gave the love token she gave him to his future concubine.
What could shock her more than this?
Xiao Jingzong's change of heart made Ning Chuchu heartbroken, and the hickeys on Xu Yuanyue and An Meiying made her even more jealous and desperate.
Originally, she wanted to wait for Xiao Jingzong to give her an explanation, but he never showed up.
In desperation, she had no choice but to leave Kyoto.
But it wasn't long before she discovered she was pregnant.
Ning Chuchu was afraid that her unmarried pregnancy would be discovered, so she could only secretly leave her hometown with her maid and go far away.
It wasn't until Ning Chuyi was born a year later that he was sent back to Ningguo Duke's mansion.
The emperor listened quietly and wanted to interrupt Ning Chuchu several times, but finally held back.
After hearing the reason, the emperor's face was as green as ever, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone with a knife.
But his anger was not towards Ning Chuchu, but towards Queen Xu and Concubine An.
"I was hit by an aphrodisiac and wanted to keep you innocent. My promise to marry you was not a lie. When I woke up, I went back to my house and told my parents that I would find a matchmaker to propose marriage to you.
However, my parents did not agree at the time, and I found that the jade pendant you gave me was missing. "
"I could only plead with my parents to agree to the marriage while looking for the jade pendant everywhere. But I didn't expect that when I finally got my parents to nod, I found that you were missing."
"I was looking for you everywhere like crazy, and I almost dug three feet into the ground in Kyoto. However, your elder brother told me that you accidentally fell into the water and died in your hometown."
"I didn't expect that Xu Yuanyue and An Meiying came to see you. At that time, my heart and eyes were all about you, and I never touched a finger on them."
"I suffered for a long time when I learned of your death. I married them after I ascended the throne. If you don't believe it, you can come back to Beijing with me and confront them face to face."
Ning Chuchu looked at the emperor calmly, not doubting his words.
