My Princess Has Been Reborn

Chapter 141.2 – The End

Three years was really a long time.

But after three years passed and you looked back, it didn’t feel that long anymore.

Three years was enough to make Qi Yang, who originally ran around so busily dealing with government affairs, become calm and unhurried. It was also enough to make the once powerful Prime Minister turn old. King Lu did not ask much, and the Country Protecting Great General only took care of military affairs, leaving Qi Yang to almost monopolize the government affairs.

Of course, three years was also enough to turn the once Little Emperor into a spirited young man. He studied literature and martials arts, studied politics and government, and gradually showed the image of a wise king. He looked more and more similar to the late Crown Prince who had died early.

Anyone with keen eyes could see that there was bound to be a power struggle between the powerful princess who assisted with political governance and the Little Emperor who was gradually growing up and waiting to take charge.

Unfortunately, his impatient temperament didn’t change even after being demoted for a year, and he still stumbled in his impatience. Both the hidden guards and the Court of Judicial Review finally found him out, and in this past three years, Qi Yang had taken him back personally to the princess’s mansion to chew him out.

Needless to say, after going through incidents after incident, both King Qi and King Wei had long lost their initial spirit. Although they still refused to accept it, but their forces were suppressed, but not completely wiped up, and they could not bear sacrificing their entire family for one big gamble. Eventually, they calmed down and became more honest.

Without these people causing trouble in the court, there were less factional struggle, and there was a rare peace. As for the so-called Emperor Faction and the Princess Faction, they were nothing but self-proclaimed, and the reality was not as they imagined…

When the Little Emperor turned fifteen, Qi Yang was overjoyed and held a birthday banquet for him. The next day, she presented him with several beautiful portraits.

The Young Emperor, holding the pile of portraits in a daze, turned his head and listened as his aunt introduced them one by one just like a matchmaker. She said that this one has a prominent family background, and would be beneficial when he took power in the future. She said that this one had a kind and gentle personality, and could help him control the harem. She also told him which ones were health, and would be good for him to spread his bloodline with… The Young Emperor who had not seen the world was blushing, wishing to cover his ears and hide!

After that, the Little Emperor really tried to avoid her. Other than when they’re discussing politics, he would take a detour whenever he saw Qi Yang – aside from being scared by his aunt’s aggressive matchmaking, he also knew what it meant for him to get married and take charge of the government.

Qi Yang had told him three years ago that after he took power, she would take her Prince Consort back to live in her fiefdom.

The grand-sounding reason was to stay away from the court, in case the officials of the “Princess Faction” would not give up, and end up causing trouble to the Little Emperor’s government. In fact, Qi Yang just wanted to run away. Only the Little Emperor, who believed everything she said, would believe her lie.

The Little Emperor, who believed his aunt’s lies, was still feeling a bit melancholic. After his father’s death, his aunt was the one he depended on the most. But to avoid suspicion, his aunt had to go to her fiefdom, and it would be difficult to see her again in the future… Thinking this way, he suddenly didn’t want to take charge of the government so much!

But before the Little Emperor could finish being melancholic, he was caught by his reluctant aunt.

Qi Yang put her hands on the Little Emperor’s shoulders and looked straight at her nephew, who was already as tall as her. She told him earnestly, “Ah Qi, we agreed at the start that in three years, you would get married and take charge of the government, and me and my Prince Consort will leave. Now, it’s time for me to keep my promise, and you have to take care of your own burdens. A good man would not escape, and a good Emperor need to have the proper demeanor.”

The Little Emperor looked at her aggrievedly and said, “Didn’t you say five years would be alright? Auntie, I don’t want to get married yet.”

Qi Yang looked at the Little Emperor’s face, which somewhat resembled her Royal Brother’s, then at his aggrieved gaze, feeling quite complicated. Then she turned her head away silently and said in a tone like coaxing a child, “No, you remembered wrong. The agreement was three years.”

Little Emperor: “…” Auntie, do you know that bullying the Emperor is a major crime!?

Although the Little Emperor was reluctant, when news spread that Qi Yang would throw a big wedding for the Little Emperor after the Empress selection, the originally anxious Emperor Faction immediately erupted in joy. They acted faster than Qi Yang, and the wedding arrangement was finalized in just a month.

In the next six months, the Young Emperor got married and took charge of the government. The Grand Princess returned the power, and Liang’s political power went through a smooth transition.

Qi Yang did not craved power at all, making so many people in the court feel it was unreal. But who would have known that on the same day she returned the power to the Emperor, she returned to the mansion and hugged her Prince Consort and smiled full of relief, as if she had left a heavy burden behind.
