Lin Qinshuang showed a look of hesitation on her face, but finally shook her head and was not ready to go back.
"Although Princess Qinghe has acted a little out of line, she hasn't done anything ridiculous for so many years. There may be some reason this time."
Having said this, Lin Qinshuang paused for a moment before continuing.
"This time is also an opportunity. I want to see how my husband will choose."
After the initial panic, Lin Qinshuang quickly analyzed the pros and cons, and felt that this time was also an opportunity.
Qi Wang is a man, and Princess Qinghe's commotion is so loud that all the eyes of the capital are staring at her, she will not do anything out of the ordinary.
Her son was safe and sound, so Lin Qinshuang wanted to see what Qi Yuanhang thought about this son.
Lin Qinshuang's heart was hurt by Qi Yuanhang's actions before, and she felt that he didn't have much affection for her son. After this incident, she wanted to see how Qi Yuanhang would choose in the end.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but sighed, and said softly: "Shuang'er, why are you here?"
Lin Qinshuang married Qi Yuanhang at the age of seventeen. Although Qi Yuanhang was also a descendant of an aristocratic family at that time, the Qi family had faintly fallen out of the ranks of the aristocratic family because they had not produced any talents for several generations.
At that time, the Duke's Mansion was in full swing. With Lin Qinshuang's beauty, talent, and family background, even entering the palace as a concubine would not be a problem.
However, Lin Qinshuang only took a fancy to Qi Yuanhang, the No. , After testing Qi Yuanhang for a while, seeing that his character and talent are far superior to those of his peers, and he is devoted to his daughter, after much deliberation, he still agreed to this marriage.
For so many years, the husband and wife have raised their eyebrows together, and their love has increased. Qi Yuanhang has also fulfilled his original promise. There is no concubine in the family, and there is no confidante outside, and he has always been the same to his daughter.
What he did was seen by Lin Qinshuang's parents. They all felt that Lin Qinshuang was really discerning and found a good husband. Girls who marry, their eyes are much higher. Although they have never married a man like Qi Yuanhang, they are much better than those who have a bunch of concubines in the backyard.
This is Lin Qinshuang's first time going home in anger. If Qi Yuanhang really did something wrong to Lin Qinshuang, then their family will definitely not let Qi Yuanhang go, but this time it is for the sake of the child, the husband and wife They all felt that Lin Qinshuang was making a fuss out of a molehill.
"Shuang'er, mother can understand your thoughts. After all, Ah Qi is your child born in October. You suffered so much when you gave birth to him, and later because of your wicked wife's lack of greed, you have been killed. The mother and son have been separated for 20 years, you have seen that wicked woman and know what she did, the hatred will be deeper, and then you will be angry at the exchanged child and don't want to recognize him, this is also normal."
Speaking of this, the voice of Mrs. Guo's wife softened. She sighed and said softly: "But fathers are different from mothers. Children don't come out of their wombs. Their feelings for children are established. After that, we will get along with each other for a long time."
Although it is a bit cruel to say this, it is true. For example, two children who are both biological, one is raised by his side and gets along with each other every day, and the other often does not see each other. Naturally, the father's feelings for them are different.
Qi Yuanhang is like this now.
"From a rational point of view, Ah Qi is his child, and because of your carelessness, Bai Xiu should treat this child better. After all, you owe him this, but Shuang'er, you have to I understand that he has carefully raised that child as a parent and child for twenty years, and it is also that child who is facing him day and night, and this feeling cannot be recovered overnight."
Although the facts are somewhat cruel, men are like this. Children are not born from their wombs. Without the hard work of being pregnant for ten months, they did not give birth behind the gate of hell. They are not like mothers to their children.
That's why Lin Qinshuang felt sorry for Qi Wang, and wished she could give this child who owed her twenty years all the best things in the world, but men didn't do that.
Without any affection, without spending a lot of effort on this child, it is almost impossible to make him care so much with just a blood relationship.
In the eyes of Mrs. Guo, Lin Qinshuang was a bit too aggressive.
It's not that Lin Qinshuang doesn't understand the truth, but she can't get over the hurdle in her heart.
At that time, Wang Zhaodi exchanged the children of the two families because of greed, and let them help others raise the children for 20 years, while Qi Huang suffered for 20 years in the countryside. Lin Qinshuang's heart felt like a knife was piercing her.
Strictly speaking, Wang Zhaodi is their enemy, and Qi Xun is the son of the enemy. It is kind of them not to retaliate against Qi Xun, and to take back everything that the Prime Minister's Mansion gave him is already kind.
"Mother, stop talking. I know what I'm doing. I can't swallow this breath. As the current prime minister, I don't believe he doesn't understand what I care about. If he is still so confused, then There is no need for us to continue."
Seeing her daughter talking, it seemed that they were about to separate. Mrs. Guo had a terrible headache, but she couldn't persuade her daughter.
Lin Qinshuang has a gentle temperament, but if she becomes stubborn, eighteen cows will not be able to pull her back. Knowing that Lin Qinshuang can't be persuaded, the Duke's wife has no choice but to send someone to send a message to Qi Yuanhang and send Lin Qinshuang Shuang revealed the meaning to the other party.
These two have been married for almost 30 years, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very good. They can't be separated because of the children. If it really comes to that time, let alone the embarrassment, Lin Qinshuang may not be able to bear it. blow.
The servants quickly dismissed Mrs. Guo's intentions, and only after hearing from his mother-in-law did Qi Yuanhang realize that his wife was really angry this time.
Before, Qi Yuanhang complained that Qi Wang was ignorant and angry, and ran away from home for a little thing. He originally wanted him to live outside for a while, but after he realized that it was not so easy to work alone outside , they are bringing him back.
This kid's temper is too strong, if he doesn't smooth out his character, if he uses it as a means of blackmailing them later, won't they never be able to stand up
It's just that what Qi Yuanhang didn't expect was that Lin Qinshuang would even quarrel with him over this matter. According to his mother-in-law, if he didn't do as well as she wanted, Lin Qinshuang would even make up with him.
Let's not mention how aggrieved Qi Yuanhang feels, but for his own marriage, even if he is full of displeasure, he still has to swallow this breath. Not only that, he also has to take over the culprit who caused the estrangement between their husband and wife. Come back, otherwise, Lin Qinshuang might really make peace with herself.
Qi Yuanhang sent someone to post a post to the princess mansion, and told Princess Qinghe tactfully that Qi Wang was his son, and asked her to release him.
As the prime minister of the current dynasty, Qi Yuanhang's status is detached. Not to mention the officials of the Manchu dynasty, even the relatives of the emperor would sell him some face. However, Princess Qinghe did not play cards according to common sense. Not only did she not let anyone out , and asked the servants of the mansion to come to the prime minister's mansion in person to inform her that Qi Huang was going to be recruited as a son-in-law.
Qi Yuanhang only felt it was ridiculous, and couldn't help but said: "Thanks to the princess's love, it's just that the boy is not talented, he is just a white man, and he grew up in the countryside before, and he doesn't know the rules and etiquette. The official is working hard to teach, and please invite the princess Find someone else."
The servant who came this time is the capable person beside Princess Qinghe, and Princess Qinghe will not hide any ideas from her, this time it is Princess Qinghe's intention to come here.
After listening to what the prime minister said, Xi Yan smiled, and said unhurriedly: "My lord is humble, the second son Qi is very good, our princess likes it very much, Princess Qinghe is not such a superficial person, Qi The second young master is first-class regardless of his appearance and conversation, and he has saved our princess's life, the princess has made up her mind, and I ask the prime minister to agree to this marriage."
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no rule that a son-in-law could not be an official, so the children of the aristocratic family did not have any resistance to Princess Shang, and even many families that had gone into decline relied on Princess Shang to regain their vitality.
Before, Qi Yuanhang never thought of letting his two sons, Princess Shang, have outstanding literary talents. Only relying on the prime minister's residence, there will be no troubles in their official careers, and there is no need for Princess Shang to add icing on the cake.
But Qi Wang is a little different.
Listening to the meaning of Xiyan, Princess Qinghe seems to have fallen in love with Qi Wang, and there is a life-saving grace in the middle, and Princess Qinghe is so determined to marry him as his wife...
Thinking of all the things that happened after Qi Wang came back, Qi Yuanhang's eyes deepened a lot, he cupped his hands towards Xiyan and said: "Please tell Miss Xiyan to tell Princess Qinghe that if you really want to get married, you should go the right way." That's good, keeping people in the mansion like this will always be unfair and not good for the reputation of both parties. If the princess really has the heart, why not report it to the sage, so this is the right way."
Xiyan nodded slightly, agreeing with Qi Yuanhang's idea.
"The servant will report this matter to the princess, but before that, the princess still needs to keep the second son of Qi to live in the mansion for a period of time. Although they have saved their lives, their relationship is a bit weak. If they can cultivate some feelings, In the future, the married couple can also be in harmony like the prime minister and the prime minister's wife."
Qi Yuanhang: "..."
So Princess Qinghe means that people can't be sent back, and they have to wait until the relationship between the two of them has been cultivated
This seems a bit inappropriate.
However, Xiyan came here this time not to discuss with Qi Yuanhang, but to inform him. After all, there was no law about men being robbed in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Princess Qinghe, a woman, doesn't care about reputation anymore. What can you care about
Xiyan finished explaining everything she had to explain, and then left the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage without staying here any longer.
After sending Xi Yan away, Qi Yuanhang sat in the study and thought for a long time, finally he seemed to have made up his mind, and then he had someone take a carriage to go to the Duke's Mansion.
According to Lin Qinshuang's intention, she didn't want to see Qi Yuanhang, but she couldn't stand the persuasion of Mrs. Guo, so she could only agree in the end.
Seeing Qi Yuanhang with a flattering smile on his face, Lin Qinshuang snorted, and turned his head away from looking at him, but Qi Yuanhang was not annoyed at all, he stepped forward and gently hugged Lin Qinshuang's shoulders , Lin Qinshuang struggled a bit, but in the end she still couldn't break free from his embrace.
Seeing that Lin Qinshuang's resistance to him was not too serious, Qi Yuanhang heaved a sigh of relief. He looked down at his wife and couldn't help but say, "Ma'am, are you still angry?"
Lin Qinshuang snorted and said, "No."
Why is she so easy to calm down
Fortunately, Qi Yuanhang is familiar with coaxing his wife, and it didn't take long to coax him.
After Lin Qinshuang's anger subsided, she asked Qi Yuanhang how to solve Qi Huang's matter.
This time Qi Yuanhang thought about his language before speaking out his plan.
"Actually, I think it would be a good thing for Ah Qi if he can honor the princess..."
Seeing that Lin Qinshuang seemed about to get angry, Qi Yuanhang hurriedly hugged her in his arms, comforted her a few words, and then continued.
According to Qi Yuanhang, although Qi Wang is the second son of the prime minister's mansion, he has been growing up in the countryside in the past. Whether he admits it or not, this has always been his shortcoming. It is undeniable that although he is smart, he wants to stand out. It will take at least three years, and there are only a few girls of the right age in the capital. Lin Qinshuang doesn't want to wrong Qi to marry a girl with a low status, and the noble girls she can fall in love with may not be able to fall in love with them. Hurricane.
This fell into an unsolvable situation, but the appearance of Princess Qinghe broke the situation.
"Although Princess Qinghe's reputation over the years is a bit absurd, it is undeniable that she has not done anything too outrageous, and Princess Qinghe acts upright. Whenever there is a calamity, Princess Qinghe will stand up , donating porridge and donating medicine, even during the plague in Liaocheng, she personally brought people over to help. If it can be done, it doesn’t count as humiliating him.”
Lin Qinshuang originally disapproved of this marriage, not to mention anything else, Princess Qinghe is already twenty-five years old this year, five years older than Qi Wang, and she is the most beloved little princess of the late emperor, and a compatriot of the current emperor Sister, the Holy Majesty loved her a lot, and also developed her arrogant and domineering character.
And even if Lin Qinshuang didn't want to admit it, what she had to admit was that Qi Wang grew up in the countryside. Although he was very smart, it was not so easy to make up for the lost twenty years. In terms of etiquette, there is always a lack of etiquette. Now that Princess Qinghe likes him, those trivial and trivial things are not a big problem, but what if Princess Qinghe doesn't like him
Lin Qinshuang articulated all his worries, and his wife, Mo Ruofu, saw Lin Qinshuang like this, and Qi Yuanhang knew that her attitude had softened, so he continued to persuade Lin Qinshuang.
"These are trivial matters, so you can rest assured. Behind Ah Qi are the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion. Even for the sake of our two families, Princess Qinghe will not make things difficult for him."
"What's more, Ah Qi is very smart. Don't underestimate him. If he is willing, he can handle his relationship with Princess Qinghe well."
"Let's wait and see. Princess Qinghe is a rare beauty, and her talent and insight are superior to ordinary women. Maybe the two of them can trust each other. This is also an unknown thing."
No wonder it was said that Qi Yuanhang could be the prime minister. Among other things, his words were extremely sharp. Lin Qinshuang, who had already been shaken by his persuasion, completely turned against him.
"Having said that, it still depends on Ah Qi's own will. If he is unwilling, then none of us can force him to be Princess Shang."
Qi Yuanhang promised again and again, but in his heart he didn't feel that Qi Wang would reject Princess Qinghe.
After all, Princess Qinghe is a first-class existence regardless of her appearance, talent, or family status. Even if her childhood experience was criticized by others, many children of aristocratic families look down on Princess Qinghe who 'lost her virginity', but Qi Huang himself It's not that outstanding. Not to mention anything else, just his twenty years of living experience in the countryside is enough to make people look down on him.
Such a man and Princess Qinghe are a perfect match.
And what is Qi Wang doing at this time
After being forcibly invited into the princess mansion, Qi Wang was arranged to be placed in a magnificent courtyard. The furnishings here are all exquisite, and there is a sense of high-profile luxury everywhere.
Princess Qinghe sent him here in person. It is worth mentioning that Princess Qinghe seemed to have seen the things that the boy in the study was holding, and immediately spent a huge sum of money to buy some high-end four treasures of the study and brought them back.
"This is Hengwu Garden, and it will be your residence in the future. I will come to accompany you for two hours every day, and it is to cultivate our relationship. Before the two of us develop feelings, you can't step out of this yard. You can tell the servants what you want, and they will try their best to satisfy you."
Princess Qinghe's voice is very soft, but the words she speaks are extremely domineering. According to her meaning, Qi Wang has been restricted in his life freedom, and can only stay here and obey her mercy.
After talking a lot, Princess Qinghe looked at Qi Wang's handsome face and asked with a smile: "What else do you want? If you have something big to say, I can agree with it."
Qi Wang: "Please put the princess down and leave."
Princess Qinghe shook her head and said: "I don't need to talk about this, I brought you back with great difficulty, how could I let you go? And you don't have to tell me about the current court laws, I understand all the laws , you are a man, I did not commit a crime by bringing you back in the street."
Qi Huan: "..."
I don't know if it's Qi Wang's illusion. This princess seems to be very familiar with this aspect. Could it be that she specially studied the loopholes in the law in order to dance on the edge of the red line of the law
"Then can the princess tell me, why did you keep me here?"
Princess Qinghe said generously: "I have a crush on you and I want to marry you as my wife."
