Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Chapter 263 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 97

When Yun Qian remarried, people who usually didn't pay attention to political affairs were a little confused when they heard the name. Wasn't this Crown Princess the same one as before?

Those who were confused suddenly seemed to "suddenly understand". It turned out that... who sat on the throne of the Crown Prince was not important at all. What was important was who Yun Piao favored, and who the Yun family's daughter would marry...

The sky is clear blue, the breeze is blowing gently, and the sunlight shines on the earth, giving the beautiful landscape a soft glow.

When Yun Qian and Qi Jueyu's first daughter was born, Yun Piao personally issued an edict stating that this was the future Crown Princess.

On this very day, a resounding phoenix cry suddenly echoed over Kyoto. Within and beyond the palace walls, both palace attendants and common people looked up to the sky. They saw a phoenix, clad entirely in crimson gold, swooping down from the clouds. Its wings spread, a radiant light emanated, seeming to tint the heavens and earth with an auspicious golden hue.

Following closely behind were several colorful little phoenixes. They flocked together, circling the sky above the palace, their chirping clear and melodious, like the sound of nature. For a moment, the people of the city all knelt in worship, and even the ministers in the hall could not hide their amazement.

Inside Changxin Palace, Yun Qian leaned against a carved couch, her face pale, yet her eyes couldn't conceal the tenderness and contentment in her eyes. The baby in her arms was still sound asleep, its delicate little face imbued with an innate nobility, its closed eyelids tinged with the pale red of the morning glow.

Qi Jueyu stood aside, his gaze fixed on the mother and daughter. His usually stern features softened like a spring breeze, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting. His large hand gently rested on the baby's tiny palm, and he spoke softly, "Qianqian, this is our daughter."

Yun Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "That's great, it feels more like me."

"Like you. When you were in pain just now, my heart felt like it was on fire."

Yun Qian's hair was damp with sweat, but she wasn't worried about her image. "I'm so happy to have this child."

The next moment, she felt a warm touch on her forehead. It was Qi Jueyu who gave her a light kiss. She raised her eyes and saw a hint of moisture in his eyes.

Before Yun Qian could react with surprise, she heard hurried footsteps outside the palace gate. Yun Piao, dressed in a brocade robe, strode quickly into the palace, a rare look of joy in her eyes. She lifted the wide hem of her gown with one hand, her steps unwavering. Her gaze softened as it met the baby in Yun Qian's arms.

"I just finished my morning meeting and heard good news from Qian'er. Good boy, come and see grandma."

Yun Qian handed the baby in her arms to her. Yun Piao took it carefully, as if she were holding a priceless treasure. She stared at the baby, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised: "What a good child..."

She turned and ordered the attendants behind her, "Draft an order immediately—"

An imperial edict quickly spread throughout the country: Auspicious signs fell from the sky, and a phoenix appeared in the capital, indicating that the royal family was prosperous. She was the first daughter of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, extremely noble, and had won the favor of the Empress. She had now been made the Crown Princess.

On the day the imperial edict was promulgated, the streets of Kyoto were deserted, and the people were eager to spread the news. Seeing the phoenixes fluttering around them, they were filled with endless anticipation for the newborn princess, as if this little baby was destined by heaven, the hope and protector of the land's future.

For a royal family member, it is not good to have too few brothers and sisters, but it is also not good to have too many brothers and sisters.

Apart from this, Yun Piao cleaned out many members of the royal family during her reign. Frankly speaking, the benefits of this are obvious. The people can support fewer members of the royal family who are ignorant of the suffering of the people. For Yun Piao, the forces opposing her are also greatly reduced.

After all, among all her opponents, the ones who often shouted the loudest were none other than the royal family...

After all, the civil and military officials under them still value their families. There have been examples of female emperors ascending the throne before. They just work for whoever they work for, and there is no need to fight to the death for a title.

After Yun Piao's death, the Yun family did not fall into decline. Everyone knew that the most noble people in the world were still the Yun family...

After all, everyone knows that the new emperor protects this second-married woman from the Yun family like the apple of his eye. She is not only the emperor's favorite, but also unique.

This queen, like her aunt, could enter and leave the Council of State freely. The couple ruled the world together, and the successor to the throne was decided early on. The successor was the queen's first son, Crown Princess Lin Zhao.

Yun Qian later gave birth to a son and a daughter. Fortunately, her son showed little interest in politics, preferring to paint and drink tea. His quiet demeanor was a reflection of Qi Jueyu's. He had no desire to compete with his sister, which reassured Yun Qian. After all, the children she had nurtured were all her own, and siblings shouldn't fight for power.

Not to mention Yun Qian and Qi Jueyu's youngest daughter. In Yun Qian's words, she is a person so beautiful that even if a hundred men were sent to her backyard, it would not be enough.

I don't know where this personality of getting bored with the old and liking the new came from.

In short, she always likes someone, but never stops for anyone. She is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and she loves to dress herself up, which has attracted many handsome men in the capital, but also caused them to feel sad.

At a recent horse race, Yun Qian heard that a young man risked his life to attract her attention and suddenly fell down on the path of the princess's horse race. Her youngest daughter happened to ride past on horseback. Fortunately, her youngest daughter saw a handsome young man in moon-white clothes fall to the ground in front of her. Fortunately, her youngest daughter had been riding horses since she was a child and had superb horsemanship, so she saved the young man from death at the hands of the horse.

Yun Qian later heard that the young master had fallen head over heels for the little girl after a fleeting glimpse of him from beneath the horse. He had appeared before her several times, but her daughter had been frightened to death by his sudden appearance in front of the horse, and for a while she didn't want to see him again...

…………

Yun Qian had never been particularly concerned about the abilities of his previous children, but this time when he met his eldest daughter Lin Zhao, Yun Qian really had a headache.

After all, Lin Zhao was the crown princess who was to inherit the throne. However, she had an extremely erratic personality and often ran out of the palace without noticing. Lin Zhao was extremely intelligent since she was a child. Although she had an erratic personality, she was born with a convincing majesty.

When she ventured outside the palace, she often enjoyed the company of ordinary people, sometimes even concealing her identity, hanging out in bustling teahouses and restaurants, listening to the news brought by fast horses from the Jianghu. Although Yun Qian had a headache, she had to admit that Lin Zhao had indeed inherited her and Qi Jueyu's wisdom and courage.

Once, Lin Zhao slipped out of the palace again.

Yun Qian was discussing matters with Qi Jueyu in the imperial study when she heard this. Furious, she put down her pen and stood up to send someone to look for her. Qi Jueyu stopped her, a helpless yet doting smile flashing in his eyes. "Qian Qian, don't worry. Zhao'er will be fine. Besides, my daughter is a skilled martial artist, so even if she encounters danger, she can handle it."

"Is she going to be alright?" Yun Qian glared at him, her tone hurried. "A few days ago, she even dared to go to the gambling house to catch gamblers, and she almost exposed her identity! When the people heard it was the Crown Princess, they came from all over the place, blocking the streets and making it impossible for the merchants to do business. If the Jingzhao Yin hadn't seen the situation and quickly brought people to deal with it, I'm afraid she would have been trampled to death!"
