King Gaomi couldn't help it. He couldn't say he wanted to get rid of Rong Suihe, his lost and recovered youngest son, but he had always been on guard.
Especially after Rong Suihe returned to the Gaomi Palace as the number one scholar, because of the Meng family's power, his subordinates hoped to have a wise and powerful young master to share the pressure and enhance their confidence. It can be said that privately they were very upset. After a while.
Others can just pay it forward. The Yuan family and the Zhao family are both the in-laws of King Gaomi and his right-hand man. Especially Zhao Shi of the Zhao family, who is his brother-in-law and the guarantor of military power. These people all showed the same attitude. Paying attention to Rong Suihe, how could King Gaomi not worry about his true heir, the eldest son Rong Qingzui
After he failed to prevent Rong Suihe from returning to Nanfeng County to take over the Gongsun family on Tortoiseshell Island, he did not hesitate to send his henchmen to pretend to be pirates to intercept and kill him midway in order to weaken the boy's power, but he did not expect that he would also be defeated.
This result not only caused King Gaomi to lose one of his dead men, but also caused him to change from his original guard against Rong Suihe to a heart full of fear.
... According to this son's development, if Emperor Xuan Jing can last another ten or eight years, it will no longer be a matter of Rong Suihe trying to take over Rong Qingzui's position, but Rong Suihe trying to take his place!
The more King Gaomi thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he decided that no matter what, he could not let his son marry the daughter of the Zhao family!
Although he didn't like a girl with Sheng Weiqiao's temperament, and the relationship between the Sheng family and General Zhou and the wealth of the family were not very satisfactory to him.
But compared to Zhao Taoyi, King Gaomi felt that Sheng Weiqiao was already a good choice.
At least Rong Suihe likes this girl. All he needs to do is push the boat along to make this happen.
Otherwise, Rong Suihe, who can be regarded as a model of rebellious son, would have punched and kicked him directly. The princess followed her son's lead and temporarily found a girl with no power, power and money to give to Rong Suihe as his daughter-in-law. King Gaomi He feels that this is simply impossible... Even if it is possible, he is now entangled in Meng's family and can't get away at all. How can he have the energy to worry about such a thing
When the princess and the Qi family discussed spreading rumors to make the Sheng family retreat in the face of difficulties, King Gaomi had clearly opposed it. However, because of the news that the princess's confidant brought back from Nanfeng County, the princess ignored him at all.
Now that the Sheng family has come to Chang'an, King Gaomi decided to try his best to win this marriage no matter what... After a short period of thinking, the position of the princess of Mi Zhen County cannot be given to the Zhao family!
After all, he was not a free man, and he was aware of the private considerations of Mrs. Qin from the Zhao family and his mother-in-law.
If I don't let the daughter of the Sheng family in soon, I might give the Zhao family a chance and send Zhao Taoyi to the palace of the Mi Zhen County prince to be the hostess.
Therefore, the King of Gaomi arrived at the scene quickly and with a particularly sincere attitude: "This is all a misunderstanding. To be honest, the princess loves He'er very much, so after hearing that He'er loved the Lord of Kangzhao County, she sent a special People went to Nanfeng County to investigate the local customs, and even planned to add a southern cook to the palace so that they could get along well with the Lord of Kangzhao County. But... "
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Sheng kept his face quiet but exchanged glances with each other. Mrs. Ming frowned subconsciously and said to herself: "Could it be that... the princess heard about Jiuniang and Rao'er, so she joined them Do you look down on Qiaoer?!"
She was in a state of confusion when she heard King Gaomi continue: "But the servants didn't know what happened, but they heard some unfavorable words from Mrs. Xiao Sheng that were unfavorable to County Lord Kangzhao. They believed them to be true and reported them to the princess after they came back. , which troubled the princess very much. The princess discussed the matter privately with her eldest daughter-in-law. When the discussion was true or false, it was overheard by the talkative servants below, and spread the word, which led to rumors that the princess did not like the Lord of Kangzhao County. In fact, The princess did not have this intention, she just wanted to wait for County Lord Kangzhao to return to Chang'an and meet with him in person to confirm the truth of Mrs. Xiao Sheng's words."
Originally, Mrs. Sheng and others remained silent. Firstly, they were angry; secondly, as Sheng Weiqiao's elders, they naturally had to put on airs at this time.
After all, the marriage between Rong Suihe and Sheng Weiqiao was the result of Rong Suihe's pursuit of Sheng Weiqiao and the Sheng family.
The Sheng family has never said that they want to stuff girls into the royal family!
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao and many other elders rushed to Chang'an with great force. When they arrived, news spread that Princess Gaomi did not welcome Sheng Weiqiao. How could they let King Gaomi pass easily
If this kind of thing is put aside gently, who will think highly of their girls in the future? !
But he didn't expect that King Gaomi would mention "Mrs. Xiao Sheng". At this moment, the expressions of Old Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming changed. Sheng Lan, who had a sinking face, asked before saying goodbye: "I don't know what the 'Mrs. Xiao Sheng' the prince mentioned." who is it?!"
"She is Mrs. Sheng's younger sister, the wife of her husband's Sang family." King Gaomi sold Sheng Lanling without any pressure. He knew about Princess Gaomi's move to send people to Nanfeng County. Princess Gaomi's confidant As soon as he set off on the front foot, he sent someone to follow him, so he knew exactly what Princess Gaomi's confidants had reported to the princess.
Originally, he had other plans for Sheng Lanling, but now that he is eager to marry Sheng Weiqiao, he can only throw her out first to silence Sheng Weiqiao and his elders: Look, it's not that our Gaomi Palace is looking down on your family. Girl, this girl's biological aunt is not good. She took the initiative to say a lot of bad things about my niece to my princess's people. How could we imagine that our biological aunt would ruin the future of our biological niece
"I told you a long time ago that I don't have that rebellious girl anymore, it's all you!" Hearing this, Mrs. Sheng was so angry that he almost fainted!
If Mr. Feng hadn't been there to help him quickly, he would have almost attacked Mrs. Ming on the spot, "Now you see it?! That shameless beast, the boss has worked hard to save money to support a large family. She is filial to the boss." You have good food and drink in your villa, and you want to ruin the reputation of your niece!!! The revenge of killing the father may not be so vicious to affect the child's family, such a snake and scorpion thing, why did I do it in the first place? Didn't he drop her to death when she landed?"
Mrs. Ming couldn't care less about how embarrassed she was being scolded by her husband in public at the moment. She hurriedly explained to Sheng Lanci: "I really just want to give them a bite of food for their mother and son. They have been locked up in Zhuangzi and are not allowed to do so." Contacted by outsiders!”
She knew Sheng Lanci's temper. Even though she was usually very caring and generous to her younger brothers and sisters, when it came to Sheng Weiqiao, it was a life-long event. Sheng Lanci would never recognize her relatives!
So now the old lady doesn't just beg her stepson to be arrogant to Sheng Lanling, she just begs Sheng Lanci not to anger Sheng Lansi and Sheng Lanzi, thank God!
But at this moment, Sheng Lanci didn't even look at her. With a livid face, she asked King Gaomi: "May I ask, Your Majesty, what on earth did that bitch Sheng Lanling arrange for my dear daughter to cause the princess to pamper Prince Mi Zhen?" Are you afraid that our Sheng family will get entangled with the Gaomi Palace?!"
Just by hearing the title, you can tell that he doesn't regard Sheng Lanling as his sister at all now.
However, the purpose of King Gaomi taking the time to come here was to get married, and not to use the hands of the Sheng family to kill Sheng Lanling, so he said tactfully: "These are all unfounded nonsense. It is because the princess is so concerned that she becomes confused, so she becomes suspicious." . After the king’s consolation these days, the princess will feel sorry for her. If the princess hadn’t been ill for a long time and has not recovered until now, I would have planned to come here to apologize in person today.”
What he said, although it further cleared up the rumors that "Princess Gaomi does not like Sheng Weiqiao", it also made Sheng Lanci and others think: Sheng Lanling must have said something very excessive, and most likely it was something that could not be said in the scene. , Otherwise, why would King Gaomi not even want to retell it
Sheng Lanci almost wanted to vomit blood: he thought he had fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder brother to his four younger brothers and sisters, especially the youngest sister Sheng Lanling. Sheng Lanling regretted her marriage to Tu Ruchuan and had an affair with the Sang family. Elopement, in the end the Sang family didn't even allow her to be a concubine. If Sheng Lanci hadn't worked so hard to help her, she would have been Sang Tingyun's concubine to this day!
How did this sister repay him? !
"Lan Ci!" Fortunately, Mr. Feng was here and saw that his son-in-law was not in a good mood. He stepped forward in time and patted his shoulder, saying calmly, "Don't worry. Didn't the prince say it? This is just a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding, please solve it." Just open it... The most important thing now is to speak clearly to the prince and princess! After all, no matter whether the two children get married in the future, our Qiaoer is a pure and good child, and there is no reason for the emperor to be thousands of miles away. At your feet, you are being misunderstood and talked about like this, right?"
Sheng Lanci is a little resentful towards Mrs. Sheng now because Sheng Lanling ran back to her parents' home in tears after she couldn't stand in the Sang family last year. Although Mrs. Ming felt sorry for her daughter and tried every means, inside and outside, to In the final analysis, it was with the tacit consent of Mrs. Sheng that Sheng Lanling had the opportunity to stay in the Sheng Mansion.
Even in the current situation of Sheng Lanling and her son, why don't they have the acquiescence of Mrs. Sheng
If Mr. Sheng had followed through on his original decision to expel his daughter from the house and sever the relationship between father and daughter... Sheng Lanling, who could not carry her shoulders or lift her arms, and had two underage sons, might have died somewhere long ago, or been killed. If someone takes her away, how can she have the chance to ruin her daughter's reputation? !
Taking a step back, even Sheng Lanling still got in touch with the people sent to Nanfeng County by Princess Gaomi. The Sheng family was rich, and as the biological sister of the head of the family, she was living outside without food and clothing. Princess Gaomi's As long as the confidant's brain is not broken, he should think that there must be an inside story, right
Even so, he may not be willing to believe her words.
In the final analysis, the confidants of Princess Gaomi would believe Sheng Lanling's slander against Sheng Weiqiao because Sheng Lanling was well raised in another courtyard and was under the protection of the Sheng family!
Then, outsiders would naturally think that what she said about Sheng Weiqiao was credible.
So if Mrs. Sheng came out to persuade Sheng Lanci at this moment, Sheng Lanci might not listen to it. But Mr. Feng, the father-in-law, came out to speak. Sheng Lanci couldn't bear to give him face. He took a few deep breaths, barely suppressed his temper, and said: "What dad said is... As for Sheng Lanling..."
He squeezed the tea bowl in his hand hard, then turned to King Gaomi, showing a smile without any trace of laughter, "It makes the prince laugh, that bitch was kicked out of the house by my father for corrupting the family tradition in the early years, so she can't be regarded as my grandson at all." Family bloodline. This is clearly recorded in the genealogy. If the prince does not believe it, we can immediately send people back to Nanfeng County to get the genealogy for verification!"
"This is not necessary." King Gaomi shook his head and said, "Let me tell you the truth: If you are an aunt who really loves your niece, even if your niece is not good, you will definitely say good things to others. This Mrs. Xiao Sheng, all she said was The bad thing about Kangzhao County Lord. Just looking at this point alone, I have to suspect that Mrs. Xiao Sheng has evil intentions. In the final analysis, the people under the princess are too honest and do not know how to adapt. News with such obvious problems actually came to light. He also reported the truth to the princess. The princess believed that her subordinates never lied, so she believed him."
He sighed, "After all, our government cannot deal with the Sheng family, let alone the Lord Kangzhao in this matter."
Although Mrs. Feng, Sheng Lanci and others had heard Rong Suihe say when they were in Nanfeng County earlier that he and King Gaomi were not close at all, and there was a high possibility that they would turn against each other in the future, but now they heard The prince's words were reasonable, but the most important thing was that Sheng Lanling, the aunt who cheated his niece, was used as a shield. The Sheng family had no shame in questioning the neglect and injustice of the Gaomi Palace, and their expressions softened more or less after hearing this.
After many years of fighting between the King of Gaomi and the Meng family, his skill in the scene was naturally very good. He was able to observe his words and his words became more and more eloquent, especially when he promised that after Rong Suihe married Sheng Weiqiao, he would definitely do his best to ensure that his son would not be allowed to marry him again. The fact that there was any philandering behavior made Sheng Lanci and others relax their eyebrows: Even if they knew that King Gaomi couldn't control Rong Suihe at all, as the future father-in-law of his own girl, it was really comfortable for him to express this attitude. .
However, King Gaomi actually really decided to restrain Rong Suihe in this way. Of course, he could not do this because of Sheng Weiqiao's consideration, but because he was worried that Rong Suihe had a concubine on his left and a concubine on his right, so he could recruit the previous group to help... Shu Ting. He also heard a little bit about the fact that the Shu sisters were interested in Rong Suihe and were already interested in Rong Suihe's backyard.
King Gaomi, who is now worried that his son is too popular and is developing too fast, wishes that Suihe could only guard Sheng Weiqiao for the rest of his life!
Even if Sheng Weiqiao couldn't be obsessed with Rong Shuihe like Emperor Xuanjing, he stayed in the palace of Mi Zhen County all day long and talked to each other without asking about political affairs; but because of the performance of Sheng Lanci and others, and the camp of the people from Nanfeng County this time, You know, the rumors that this Kangzhao County Chief is the favorite of the entire county are absolutely true!
"That boy married such a wife. It's easy to be indulgent and willful. He must be jealous!" King Gaomi sneered in his heart. "At that time, those people who originally wanted to establish a relationship with him by recommending concubines, concubines, etc., don't have to If I try to stop this, Sheng will be the first one not to agree!"
When the time comes, these families who would have been Rong Suihe's help may actually form a grudge with the Mi Zhen County Prince's Palace because of Sheng Weiqiao's jealousy!
With such calculations, King Gaomi became even more enthusiastic about marrying the Sheng family. In the end, he almost patted his chest and promised that he would treat Sheng Weiqiao more affectionately than his own daughter. If the couple had any conflicts in the future, they would definitely beat their son to coax him. daughter in law!
... So after a hearty conversation, the atmosphere turned from tense to a happy one for the host and the guest.
King Gaomi saw that the fire was almost done, so he directly changed his name and called "in-laws": "The two children's marriage happened to be attended by the in-laws. Can we discuss it now? If there is no problem, then we will go to the six Gift? After all, my He'er is twenty, and it's the end of the year now. If we delay it any longer... County Lord Kangzhao is still in his youth, but my He'er is a bit old for his age. When his eldest brother was the same age, he had three or two children. ”
