Chapter 96: Perseverance

Yun Fenghuang, who was eavesdropping, suddenly had his heart in his throat.

Chunjia's action is not cruel.

If Xie Wuzheng hesitated a little, Chunjia would be able to judge that his so-called deep affection and righteousness are all fake, and his purpose is nothing more than to pretend to be a lover so as to gain a smooth career.

If Xie Wuzheng bit the bullet and agreed, then the emperor would have nothing to lose.

It is also possible to pick up a good evaluation for picking a good son-in-law for his sister-in-law for nothing.

In short, when this question is asked, only Xie Wuzheng is in trouble. For the emperor, no matter what the answer is, he will not suffer.

Right now it's only me...

It's just that Yun Fenghuang barely got up, and before he had time to enter the room to disrupt the situation, he had already heard Xie Wuzheng's extremely calm and firm answer: "I am willing!"

Damn! ! !

Anger flashed across Yun Fenghuang's eyes, he clenched his fists, walked over a few steps and opened the door, at the same time, Chunjia was also a little surprised, and said slowly: "You have to think about it!"

"I have already thought about it..." Before Xie Wuzheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Fenghuang who stepped in: "What are you thinking about? Shut up for me!"

Then he turned to Dan Chi, "Your Majesty, my concubine's elder brother is probably confused because of the matter of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and please don't be as knowledgeable as him, Your Majesty!"

Xie Wuzheng frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, I really mean it..."

"Shut up for me!" Yun Fenghuang was almost pissed off by him, and said with a sullen face, "How old are you and Your Highness? The future will be long, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Just make such a heavy oath right now. Isn’t it wrong to trap Her Highness the Princess? Those who don’t know outside think that the Tian family is bullying others! Is this a good thing for Her Royal Highness? There are not enough discussions about the Palace of the Princess Sui’an in the current imperial capital. Why? What kind of trouble are you making in this eye joint? Can’t you be quiet and stop causing trouble to His Majesty and the palace?! There is so much free time, whether you accompany His Highness or ask the elders to study, What are you doing wrong, messing around here?!"

She was anxious and angry at the moment, since she was really afraid that Xie Wuzheng's impulsiveness would give up all previous efforts, and she was doing it for Chunjia to see: Did you see it? I didn't instigate this matter at all, it was purely my brother's fault.

In this way, no matter whether Chunjia will really let Xie Wuzheng become an official to bring Suian to the fiefdom, he can't continue to doubt Yun Fenghuang's plans.

And I feel that although Xie Wuzheng is smart and quick-witted and can be cultivated, he is still young and immature, so there is no need to guard against him.

Originally, if Xie Wuzheng was willing to cooperate, at this moment he was scolded by the concubine's sister so much that he "did not even dare to lift his head". passed.

But he just didn't appreciate it, and after Yun Fenghuang gave him a slap in the face, he insisted in a daze: "Your Majesty, I know how much I love you, but please don't misunderstand me. I fell in love with Your Highness at first sight, and I swore early in the morning that I would not marry you." There will be two minds again. Furthermore, what His Majesty said is very true. Nowadays, there are turbulent discussions in the imperial capital, and His Highness has a delicate mind. It is really not suitable to live here for a long time. He should be accompanied by his ministers and leave the imperial capital to relieve his mood. This is because I didn't think carefully, but luckily His Majesty reminded me."

Seeing Xie Wuzheng sincerely thanking Chunjia, as if being an official and accompanying the eldest princess away from the imperial capital was something he could not have wished for, Yun Fenghuang almost suspected that the scene where Jiang Shi came to discuss with him was an illusion.

Is it true that our old Xie family is going to produce a lover? ? ?

Yun Fenghuang calmed down, and said coldly: "You did this wishfully, but have you ever asked Her Royal Highness Princess Sui'an?!"

Considering that Sui'an really didn't want to stay in the imperial capital, at least for the time being, she did have the consideration of avoiding the limelight, she continued with a sneer, "Don't forget that the Empress Dowager and Shen Taipin are still in the palace, and His Royal Highness Princess Sui'an has been in the palace since she was a child. Having grown up in front of these two, and now she has only been reduced for a year, how can you bear to let her stay away from her biological mother and her first grandmother?!"

I don't believe that Sui'an himself is ashamed to say that she doesn't care about parting from her real grandmother and biological mother.

Xie Wuzheng said: "The Empress Dowager is cared for by His Majesty, the empress dowager and all the empresses are filial, and so is Shen Taipin. These two are the elders of His Royal Highness Princess Sui'an, and they love Her Highness the most since then. Now that the eyes are on the bone, I believe that they are also willing to let His Highness avoid the limelight of the Imperial Capital."

This bastard bastard!

Why didn't I know you were so quick at tearing things down before? !

Yun Fenghuang gritted his teeth secretly, and met Xie Wuzheng's gaze. Seeing that his eyes were hard, his thoughts changed, and he cried to Chunjia: "Your Majesty, Brother Twenty-One is so affectionate to His Highness, concubine I shouldn't continue to stop me anyway! But Your Majesty, my uncle and aunt have always placed high hopes on Brother Twenty-One, and my grandparents also hope that Brother Twenty-One will have a son early in the morning! Now His Highness The matter is enough for the family to be sad, if brother twenty-one still wants to do this, then...the concubine and mother, how can I explain to my uncles, aunts and grandparents?"

Xie Wuzheng made up his mind to pretend to be affectionate, but if he didn't change his mind, no matter how Yun Fenghuang built the ladder, he would not come down.

Even if Chunjia is persuaded to stop him back, he still can't stop him from preaching outside, and actually being a lover... so what else can happen?

It's not that Yun Fenghuang is really opposed to this matter, it's just that he is afraid that he will not be able to survive the collapse of the people's establishment in the future, and will bite himself and Xie's back. Now that he is thinking about it, his attitude is almost the same, but it is time to give an assist to this cousin .

So I put on the appearance of being irritated by Xie Wuzheng, stretched out my hand to press my chest, and tremblingly said: "Don't dare to hide it from your majesty, my mother just came to the Imperial Capital, and it was the first time to come to the palace for reunion, so I told my concubine, The aunt urged her to embrace her grandson, but was blocked by her concubine's mother, because she was afraid of worrying His Highness! The news hadn't spread yet, and the aunt didn't know about it. If she knew, it would be the concubine's mother. Didn’t take good care of Brother 21 and His Highness! If Brother 21...the concubine’s mother and daughter really can’t tell the family clearly!”

Then he turned his head and questioned Xie Wuzheng, "Brother Twenty-One has a deep affection for His Highness, but can you think about it for your family, this palace, and your fourth aunt?!"

"...When I asked about it at home, I answered it myself, and I decided that it would not affect my mother and my fourth aunt." Xie Wuzheng was a little sad when he heard the words, but immediately said, "This is my own idea, and I can't blame others."

Chunjia looked on at this moment with cold eyes, and then gently persuaded Yun Fenghuang: "The son-in-law has made up his mind, and even your first cousin can't persuade me, so what can I say? Forget it, you go back, and I will say a few words to the son-in-law again." stop."

He coaxed the imperial concubine a few words, sent someone to send her back to the harem, and confirmed that there would be no more ears behind the wall. Fang looked at Xie Wuzheng, and said calmly, "After the imperial concubine, the Xie family has talents. It seems that the luck is prosperous. Tight."

Xie Wuzheng lowered his head and said cautiously: "Don't dare to be praised by His Majesty, I'm just an incompetent person."

"I don't care what you just blurted out, whether it's a response you've thought about long ago, or the truth." Chunjia waved his hand and said calmly, "In short, whether it's me or the concubine, I've given you enough to step down just now. Opportunity, since you never wanted it and insisted on being loyal to Sui'an, even if the noble concubine objects, I can fulfill you."

Xie Wuzheng immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"After you go back, you can submit the official report." Chunjia said lightly, "I will give you some courtesy, but you will not be an official in the future, and concentrate on being with Sui'an. In the future, if other children of the Xie family do something illegal Behavior, I will look at your face and favor them, but if it is too much, don't blame me for being cruel."

"The state-owned state-law family has family rules, and it is the minister's wish to be an official to accompany His Highness." Xie Wuzheng said, "I dare not ask for anything else for this. If someone from the Xie family misbehaves, please follow the rules. Even if the empress Your Majesty is soft-hearted, please don't bother. Your Majesty is actually very reasonable, but she is related by blood, and occasionally she will be impulsive, but please forgive me."

When Chunjia heard this, she couldn't help looking at him with a touch of admiration.

Although he knew that this person was probably putting on an act, it was still a skill to be able to pretend to this extent.

He smiled and said, "It's good that you are sensible, I always like sensible people."

After finishing speaking, I stopped talking, and directly ordered people to recall the three people in Yun'an, and said to them, "I have repeatedly asked Xie Ma'er's meaning, and the noble concubine has also come to comfort me, but the concubine's infatuation has not changed. How can you have the heart to do such a thing as beating a mandarin duck?"

Hearing that Yun'an and his wife had complex expressions, it was complicated because they thought they should say something but didn't know what to say.

After all, this matter is very good for Sui'an, it can even be said to be extremely honorable and comforting, but for Xie Wuzheng, in today's general environment of "unfilial piety has three things and no descendants are the biggest", he... I really can't say this congratulations.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Fengli finally said dryly: "Yes."

On the contrary, Xie Wuzheng bowed his hands calmly and thanked Chunjia again.

Chunjia was condescending, turned his eyes around him, comforted Suian with a few words, and let them go.

A group of people left the Taichu Palace, but at this time a young servant rushed over, saying that Mrs. Shen was not feeling well, and wanted to ask Suian to go over and have a look.

So Xie Wuzheng accompanied Suian to the side hall of Mianfu Palace.

At this time, Shen Taipin was in the bedroom, Xie Wuzheng, as a son-in-law, couldn't get in, so he waited outside, so Suian went in alone.

"How is it?" Mrs. Shen inside was neatly dressed, with a slightly anxious expression on her face, she asked in a low voice when she saw her daughter just came in.

"...Your Majesty agreed." Sui'an said with some apprehension, "Mother, do you think the son-in-law will regret it in the future?"

"That's what will happen in the future." Mrs. Shen also hesitated between her brows and eyes, but when she saw the childish daughter in front of her, her heart suddenly hardened, and she said coldly, "Anyway, it's not about us. It was he himself who forced him. Just now I went to the Imperial Concubine’s Palace to look for Your Majesty. I heard that the Imperial Concubine also went to the Taichu Palace just now. She will definitely stop the concubine. If this is not stopped, the concubine will regret it in the future , can you still blame us for failing?"

His voice lowered, "No matter what, after he said it himself, you will be the only one in the future, neither a concubine nor an adopted heir, if he can't do it, the public opinion in the world will not spare him, and we have reason to ask His Majesty to make the decision! At that time, even if the imperial concubine is still favored, it is hard to say anything! Otherwise, you will know how favored the imperial concubine Min is. Although she has many brothers in her natal family, there are not many who are up to the task. After all the calculations, the most promising one is the son-in-law! Do you think she will make the son-in-law extinct? Impossible!"

"Even if it's for the sake of the late emperor, let the son-in-law guard you for three or two years at most. At that time, even if the son-in-law doesn't take the initiative to mention the face of the Tian family, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will reward him with beautiful palace servants!"

"What will you do then?"

"Especially some lowly maidservants are born to please. For example, Qushi Yishi, who is now a concubine, was promoted by serving the concubine attentively. If there is such a person who will serve the concubine in the future, don't you Princess, do you still want to fight for the attention of the imperial concubine with them in front of the imperial concubine?!"

"But if you don't do this, even your aunt will not be able to keep the legacy of the late emperor, let alone our mother and daughter?"

Shen Taipin sighed, and said, "Don't think too much, this is all insisted by the son-in-law. He will not be this loyal lover for nothing, and His Majesty will definitely not treat him badly! Anyway, After such a life, don't care what he thinks in the future, I have to have a good time with you, and that's enough."

Sui'an lowered his head, and said sullenly: "But... after all, it's not true, this..."

"So what?" Shen Taipin asked calmly, "Since your Majesty's wedding to now, with so many people coming and going in the palace, the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, do you think everyone really admires His Majesty? Don't pursue things too clearly. If you pursue too clearly, you will be tired and the people around you will not be easy. Anyway, the son-in-law is both talented and beautiful, young and handsome, and willing to be considerate of you. Isn't it just for you to enjoy yourself? And not You must feel sorry for him, with his background, even if you rely on the noble concubine, it is already a blessing. You are the daughter of the late emperor, with golden branches and jade leaves, such a marriage is what you deserve!"

He breathed out, "Besides, the son-in-law said he didn't want it. After two years, you are getting older. If...you feel lonely yourself, you might as well speak up and adopt Xie's nephew. The sons and daughters are under Cheng Huan's knees. At that time, because of what the son-in-law said today, everyone in the Xie family, including the son-in-law and the imperial concubine, should be grateful to you!"

"What's wrong with that?"

"..." Sui'an was young and grew up as a servant and servant. She always felt that relying on power to enjoy her husband's single-mindedness was not good in the end, but Shen Taipin's attitude was firm, and she didn't know how to refute it. She was sullen. He responded, and said, "I just don't know if the son-in-law will blame me in the future?"

Shen Taipin said indifferently: "He has no right to blame you, he chose the path himself. Even if it is blamed, so what? Even the noble concubine will not let him feel sorry for you."

At least not on set.

Sighing, the imperial concubine touched her daughter's cheek, "Don't think too much, in fact, this is what your majesty meant, otherwise, why would I go to meet the saint in person today? There are only three of you sisters in the first emperor, and your majesty couldn't." To protect you well and make you have no hope of children, so how can you not make up for the marriage? Especially this son-in-law was chosen for you by His Majesty at the behest of the imperial concubine."

She guessed that Chunjia would never let Sui'an's marriage become a tragedy for her own face, so she specially used the banner of "this matter must not be done" to alarm Shengjia, and the intention was to let Chunjia come forward and settle the matter. finalized.

In this way, no matter what purpose Xie Wuzheng has, all in all, whether he seeks fame or profit, he has to be single-minded towards Sui'an from now on.

There was a moment of coldness in Shen Taipin's eyes: "My mother has been walking on thin ice with you in the palace for these years. What is the plan? Isn't it that you can betroth your beloved and live smoothly for the rest of your life? This is what should be given to you today. You Don’t worry about it, just accept it!”

Although I also understand in my heart that doing so seems unfair to the young consort, after all, normally speaking, a lifetime is very long.

but……

Sui'an is her own flesh and blood, isn't it?
