That night, Marquis Xiao Qizhi of Yong'an returned to his residence and brought back some bad news.
"What? Father wants to marry Anhe from the eighth brother's family to Zhenshu?" Princess Qingshan was a little shocked. Although she is a princess, Princess Qingshan doesn't want her son to marry a princess or a princess. The Yong'an Hou Mansion has always been loyal to His Majesty, and it does not want to and cannot participate in the battle for the reserve position.
Therefore, Princess Qingshan married the Yang family who was married to the fingertips for the eldest son, and the third son married the Qin family, the daughter of the mentor. Only Erlang was delayed.
At the beginning, the father had objected to Anyi from the elder brother's family marrying Zhenshu, but the Yong'an Hou Mansion didn't agree with it, so he acquiesced that Zhenshu left the capital for the reason of looking for Susu, and he is still unmarried.
Now, it's all right, why did the emperor bring up the old story again!
Princess Qingshan frowned.
"I heard that King Lu is seriously ill and may die soon." Xiao Qizhi explained.
Princess Qingshan also knew that the Eighth Emperor's younger brother was born of Concubine Su. In the past, Emperor Father welcomed Su family into the palace with the gift of a concubine. Under one person, above ten thousand people. How many people have attracted envy and resentment. When he entered the palace, he had the Eighth Emperor Brother. The Eighth Emperor Brother was born with insufficiency. It is not known why he suffered many calculations in the womb. Father is a long-lasting person, and he has always treated Concubine Su the same for many years. Concubine Su Gui did not give birth to her eighth younger brother for many years, because her father was reluctant to let Concubine Su suffer the pain of giving birth. Concubine Su Gui was worried because the eighth younger brother was weak and sick, and insisted on giving birth to the eighteenth younger brother again at the age of forty-five. The eighteenth brother was in good health, but Concubine Su Gui gave birth to a child at an advanced age and injured her body, and passed away not long after giving birth to the eighteenth brother. As a result, she has become the white moonlight in the heart of the emperor, and no one can replace it.
The father mentioned Zhenshu's marriage again. If the Marquis of Yong'an still refuses this time, it would be too ignorant. Moreover, the eighth disciple's heirs are weak, and there is only one daughter, An He, under his knees. Among the granddaughters of the emperor, she is also the most beloved by her father. Father's willingness to marry An He into the Yong'an Hou Mansion is also a sign of his trust and respect for the Yong'an Hou Mansion.
Seeing Princess Qingshan's serious expression, Xiao Qizhi persuaded, "I know the princess's heart is the same as mine, and she doesn't want the Houfu to get involved with the princes. Fortunately, the Eighth Prince is seriously ill, and there is only one daughter, Princess Anhe. The prince is even younger."
Princess Qingshan nodded. Yes, Anhe has no brothers. The eighteenth brother is only three years old this year. If you really want to marry, Anhe is indeed the best choice.
Xiao Qizhi saw that Princess Qingshan had understood, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, His Majesty will issue a decree to bestow a marriage. When that time comes, Princess remember to bring Zhenshu into the palace to thank you."
"I have to talk to my mother about this matter first. Today we are still discussing which lady is suitable for Zhenshu?" Princess Qingshan sighed softly.
An He is different from A-Yao, An He is a dignified son and phoenix grandson. He is smart and beautiful since he was a child, and has been favored by many. It is said that he has a quiet temper, but I don't know if that is the case.
Princess Qingshan was a little worried, fearing that the current peace in the mansion would be broken and waves would reappear.
"I'll go and talk to my mother." Xiao Qizhi patted his wife on the shoulder. They have been husband and wife for many years, they have a good understanding, and his wife's worry is also his worry, but since the matter has come to this point, there is no way to turn it around, so he can only face it calmly.
On the second day, His Majesty issued a decree to bestow marriages on the daughter of King Lu, Princess Anhe, and the second son of the Marquis of Yong'an.
Because of King Lu's body, the imperial edict to grant the marriage came in a hurry, and the wedding date was also set in a hurry. But the wedding didn't seem rushed at all. After all, it was a prince marrying a daughter, and the Hou's mansion married a wife. Everything was fully prepared, and the wedding was held in a lively manner.
In the second month after Ann and Princess got married, King Lu died of illness.
Princess Anhe was only newly married not long ago, so she had to keep her filial piety behind closed doors, and she didn't have much contact with other people in the mansion.
It's just that Li Su smelled something unusual in it. Judging from the news she learned, Su Guifei, the biological mother of King Lu and the Eighteenth Prince, should be the old emperor's true love. As the old emperor's most beloved granddaughter, the old emperor The emperor has already found the best home for his granddaughter, marrying into the hereditary Marquis of Yong'an. No matter how the regime changes in the future, it will be safe.
And as the only son left with True Love, it is impossible for the old emperor not to arrange a way out for him. So what is this back road
Li Su guessed that there are two possibilities. One, the old emperor is still in good health and can last for a few more years. When the eighteenth prince grows up safely, he will pass on the throne to him. Second, the old emperor's health was failing, and he passed on to someone else, leaving an imperial decree before his death, telling the new emperor to take good care of his young son.
At present, it seems that the first possibility is relatively large.
From the perspective of the plot, the little emperor and the regent are obviously the first type. It's just that maybe the timing was wrong, something went wrong, and the government was controlled by the regent.
So, who is the Regent? Li Su was very anxious, but he couldn't show it. He could only secretly inquire about the affairs of the older princes.
Li Su's anxiety can be concealed from others, but not from Wang Siqin.
She didn't understand why something was wrong with my mother after the second aunt came into the mansion. Could it be that Niang is really interested in the second cousin, that's why she lost her composure
But watching my mother get along with my second uncle and aunt every day, it's not like that.
Wang Siqin was puzzled, and finally, out of trust in her mother, she took the initiative to ask.
Li Su was a little surprised, she lowered her head and thought for a while, "Perhaps it's strange for Mother to say that, but Mother is really worried."
Then she told Wang Siqin about her guess.
Wang Siqin looked at Li Su in surprise, "Mother, why do you think so much?" One is that what Mother said was too shocking, and the other is that, in this case, Mother didn't tell anyone, but told her Out. Can she think that, in Mother's heart, she is already a person who can discuss such an important matter!
"You can also see the great favor that the Holy Majesty has on Concubine Su's lineage. Your second aunt is now in the period of filial piety, so it's not easy to go to the palace often, but there are rewards in the palace every now and then. What is there to eat, drink, and have fun with? , and never forgot her. Your second aunt and granddaughter are all like this, not to mention that the eighteenth prince is the youngest son bought by Concubine Su Guifei. What do you think His Majesty will do to him?" Li Su didn't think so Most, she just simply believed in Wang Siqin's IQ.
Sure enough, Wang Siqin pondered for a while, and said, "If you really love someone, you will naturally give him the best things. However, the Eighteenth Prince is young after all, and the master is suspicious..." Wang Siqin was very Shock.
Seeing that Wang Siqin also saw it, Li Su couldn't help being very relieved. He was a time traveler, and he only knew these things when he knew the plot, but Siqin only thought of these things because of his own guesses. This IQ is simply amazing!
Wang Siqin lowered her head and thought, but didn't see the approval on Li Su's face, "Your Majesty married the Princess to the Hou's Mansion, I'm afraid it's for the purpose of letting the Hou's Mansion support the new emperor in the future, but..." If her If the guess comes true, then the Yong'an Hou Mansion is in crisis!
Wang Siqin raised his head, "Mother, I don't know if uncle and grandpa have thought of this, but since we have thought of it, let's talk to uncle and grandpa!"
Li Su smiled, "You're right. Go, go and talk to your uncle!"
Wang Siqin was a little surprised, "I'll tell you? Mom, will Uncle and Grandpa believe it?"
"Stupid child, how do you know if you haven't tried it! Remember, you have to show your intelligence appropriately. After a long time, others will respect your opinion. After all, it is habitual to respect your opinion." Li Su encouraged road. Since Wang Siqin has decided to take an unusual path, it is best for her to show her excellence as soon as possible.
After Wang Siqin thought about it seriously, she nodded. She also felt that it was meaningless to blindly hide her edge. What she wants to get, she has to pay for! If she wants others to respect her opinion, she has to let people know that she has such ability and wisdom.
That night, in Xiao Qizhi's study room, Xiao Qizhi, Xiao Shunzhi, and the men including Xiao Zhenyuan, Xiao Zhenshu and other brothers stared dumbfounded at Wang Siqin who was talking casually.
What shocked them was not Wang Siqin's conjectures. They had already known these conjectures and had been discussing how to deal with them.
What shocked them was that Wang Siqin could think of these things at such a young age. This intelligence and sensitivity are far better than those of Yanxi's children!
Xiao Qizhi couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes, but then he looked at Li Su, "Susu, do you know what you are doing?"
"Uncle, I know. Siqin's child is different from ordinary children, and what she wants is different from ordinary children. As her mother, I support all her decisions." Li Sulue said proudly.
"Is this the original intention of you writing those scripts?" Second Master Xiao Shunzhi said with a smile.
"Yes, Siqin is very smart and self-motivated. I'm afraid that her cleverness and self-motivation will be used in the wrong place, and it will harm her instead!" Li Su said directly without holding back.
When Li Su talked about this, Wang Siqin was very calm. She knew what mother's intention was, and she was very grateful. There was nothing embarrassing about it, but from the reaction of Xiao Qizhi and others, she knew it. In fact, uncle and grandpa had already guessed. When it comes to this, "It turns out that my uncles and uncles have already thought about these things, I am worrying too much."
Xiao Zhenyuan smiled, and patted Wang Siqin's head, "No, you can tell the uncles about this, the uncles are very happy!" If you clearly see that the mansion is not sober, but keep silent, it will be chilling.
Wang Siqin was very calm, and she said it because she thought of this.
Xiao Qizhi's face was serious, he was hesitating. After a while, he stared at Wang Siqin, "Siqin, uncle and grandpa ask you seriously, don't you regret it?"
Wang Siqin's eyes lit up, the opportunity has come! She said very seriously, "Grandpa, I will not regret it. I don't want to be just a housewife who cares for her husband and children, and places the honor, disgrace and happiness of my life in the hands of others. I want to control my own destiny. I want to rely on My own efforts are respected by others, and I want to be the most dazzling existence in the crowd!"
Everyone looked at Wang Siqin cautiously. After a long time, Xiao Qizhi said, "Okay! From now on, except for culture class, all other classes will be suspended. You come to the study room every night, and your second uncle and grandpa will teach you personally!"
The author has something to say: A reader pointed out a bug in age before, and changed it a bit. Suppose Concubine Su gave birth to the eighth prince at the age of 16, and the eighteenth prince at the age of 45. The eighth prince is 28 years older than the eighteenth prince. The ancients got married Early, a 15-year-old girl should be able to barely explain it. sorry sorry! As for older mothers, there are historical ones. For example, Ling Fei was 40 years old when she gave birth to her 17th elder brother, and Wan Zhener was 37 years old when she gave birth to her son. 45 years old here is a bit exaggerated, just think she is well maintained...
