Chapter 637: Procrastination

Knowing where the crown princess's heart was, Qin Hanzhen sighed.

People really can't do wrong things, and once they make mistakes, the consequences are beyond their control. If you can't see it, you will be crushed to death by pressure in the future.

The princess is bad because people are not bad to the end, but she can't help but calculate people, and after the calculation, she can't bear the psychological pressure that comes with it. said that she was fragile in her heart, but he really didn't wronged her. In the past, the emperor chose her as the crown princess for the crown prince, because of her family background, as long as other conditions were almost the same, he did not have too high requirements for her. I didn't expect that now that things have changed, this will become the crown princess's biggest weakness.

Looking at the state of the crown princess at the moment, let alone whether she will be a queen in the future, whether she can be competent, I am afraid that she may not even be able to wait for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony. Chen Liangdi's curse before she died really cursed her. The wives and concubines have been entangled in grievances for nearly 20 years, and it seems that they are going to die and die together?

Qin Hanzhen sighed and asked Zhao Mo again in a low voice: "Can the crown princess hold on......?" What do the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?"

Zhao Mo also whispered to Qin Hanzhen: "What she has done before is not easy to pass on." Although she didn't mean to harm the emperor's grandson, she did make a move on Chen Liangdi. Regardless of whether she fought back or something else, since she had injured the Great Emperor Sun, it would be difficult for this matter to be good. If the crown prince has no heirs, won't she cut off the royal family......'s incense?" Even if she can't let the outside world know, the Queen Mother and the emperor will not allow her to really sit on the queen's throne. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may still remember some old feelings, but he will not be willful and indulgent. To be honest, if the crown princess can't afford to get sick, it may still be a good thing. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, as long as there is an heir in the harem and the royal incense is inherited, she will naturally be posthumously crowned sooner or later. The Tang family can also stay out of the matter, and they have been full of the kindness and righteousness of the monarchs and ministers for decades, and they have kept their clean reputation. And the royal family doesn't have to worry about having a queen who can't help up. ”

Qin Han really understood it and didn't say more.

The crown princess was seriously ill, and the daughters of the royal family and the high-ranking officials of the clan, whether they were well-informed or stupid Bai Tian who didn't know anything, after watching for a while, saw that the palace was in order, the emperor and the queen mother's attitude towards the Tang family remained unchanged, and the lord of Minshun was not affected at all, so people began to enter the palace one after another to ask for peace. They not only want to ask the queen mother for peace, but also to visit the crown princess. Although few people can see the face of the crown princess, they can always find out some news and find out what the princess's condition is.

Maybe it's because the crown princess said that she had been sick for a few months, but now her condition has worsened, and people who don't know the inside story don't have much suspicion, just think that she is really what the people of the East Palace said, and she has become ill from hard work. When they came out of the palace, they all sighed when they mentioned the princess's illness, and some of them claimed to be royal elders, lamenting that the princess was not blessed. Similar news spread, and those who knew it secretly laughed at others for being fooled, and at the same time said something in response to the wind. For a while, the news that the crown princess was seriously ill spread inside and outside the capital, and more and more people entered the palace to visit the sick.

In such a trend, there are even those who have no eyes and are lustful for profit, and they began to secretly discuss, the crown princess is seriously ill, if she gives up, the prince can't be without a wife, and then which lady will be lucky enough to get this earth-shattering wealth? You know, today's prince is not a short-lived ghost who was frail and sickly and his life was worried, except that his body was slightly weaker than others, there was no defect at all. There is also news that the emperor is about to take the crown prince, and in this way, the prince will soon become the supreme of the Ninth Five! Such a man is not very old, his temperament is quite gentle, there is only one daughter under his knees, and although there is a pregnant concubine in the backyard, the concubine is from a low background. Whoever marries the crown prince and becomes a stepfamily and gives birth to a son, the position of queen and prince will be unshakable. Thinking about the treatment of this prince in the royal family since he was born, who doesn't envy such wealth? !

Of course, even if you can't be a queen, it's not bad to be a concubine. In the backyard of the East Palace, only one Chen Liangyuan is now left safe and sound, and she is still pregnant. At present, there is no one around the prince to serve, and he can't meet the standards of the future queen, and those ladies who are a little worse are not allowed to think about the position of harem concubines?

Up and down the capital, the dark tide began to surge.

Qin Hanzhen, as a junior of the clan who has a close relationship with the royal family, maintains the frequency of going to the palace once every two or three days, and at other times he begins to live in seclusion, rarely attending various social occasions, and saves himself from being asked about the crown princess's illness or something, let alone being tested by the nobles in the palace What they think about the prince's future wife and concubine. Her attitude won the heart of the Queen Mother, and she privately rewarded another box of jewelry. Qin Hanzhen couldn't laugh or cry, but he still happily accepted the extra money, and then decided to change the New Year's gift list for the Queen Mother, and add a few more valuable things to it.

Of course, Qin Han really lived in a simple place, just coaxing outsiders. In addition to often going back and forth between the main house of the royal mansion of Suning County and the other courtyard, she often goes back to her parents' house through the back door to visit her grandparents and father and stepmother.

Cai Shengnan's baby is quite stable, the days of joy are not long, she was not tossed too badly, and now it has been more than three months, people can already eat and sleep, and their complexion is excellent. The Niu family was very happy about this, and even Xiao Feng was full of envy. You must know that when Xiao Feng was pregnant with Brother Zhuang, he was not less tossed.

The third room of the Qin family is now idle, and the whole family is raising a child while waiting for the birth of another child, and the life is peaceful and joyful. Niu has nothing to do, and occasionally gossips about the news of relatives and friends with the people around him. It's just that she doesn't want the child in Cai Shengnan's womb to listen to too much gossip, so she often holds back her mouth and only gossips in front of a few elderly grandmothers such as Mama Hu. Now that Qin Hanzhen often comes back to see her, she suddenly has someone to talk to, and she can't help it anymore.

Niu told Qin Hanzhen: "Have you heard about the Xu family? After the Xu family is filial, it stands to reason that it is time to prepare for Xu Zheng's family affairs." The eldest man of his family is not in very good health, and if there is another good one, won't he have to delay the child again? The Lu family has already sent a letter, asking when the Xu family will have a happy event, and his family will marry in Beijing. Uncle Xu was going to invite someone to watch the days, but Grandma Xu dragged it out again. This marriage has been decided a long time ago, or the eldest lady of his family has decided before her death, and everyone knows it. When their Xu family was unlucky, the Lu family was still willing to get married, which was already very difficult. As a result, Grandma Xu acted like this, and I don't know if she wanted to change the hexagram! If she really wanted to change the hexagram, the reputation of the Xu family's big house would really not be wanted, and Xu Zheng would not have to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and the imperial court would not want such an official!"

Qin Hanzhen was a little surprised: "No, right? I heard the fourth sister mention it a little before, but I didn't know that Grandma Xu was going to delay the family matter." Even if it works, the situation of the Xu family's big house has not improved, and if he can marry the Lu family, even if it is a good marriage, is there any noble girl who has taken a fancy to Xu Zheng?"

Niu Shi said: "What is the reputation of the Xu family's big house now? Even if any noble girl falls in love with Xu Zheng's little white face, it must be that the elders of the family are willing to marry a daughter! I see, this is Xu Da Grandma is unwilling! Now everything is going well in the long house, and it is becoming more and more prosperous than before." The second room of the Xu family has set five girls, Xu Rong wants to ask for learning, and your third uncle immediately found a good place for him and let him attach the museum. Even Brother Jian and the others were willing to lend him some rare books to read, instruct him in his homework, and take him out to meet people. It is said that Xu Rong has made great progress now! What was the original situation in the second room of the Xu family? Xu Rong had always been a small follower after Xu Zheng, but now he has the hope of showing his face. Grandma Xu looked back at her son-in-law and daughter-in-law, how could this tone be smooth?"

The Xu family's mansion was originally expected to marry the Chengenhou Mansion, but because of Mrs. Xu's opposition, the matter did not come to fruition, and she turned her face with the Chengenhou Mansion. That is, the Xu family came forward to say that they could make the second room of the Xu family get Qin Jinrong's family affair, and reluctantly repaired the relationship between the two families. However, the Xu family's big house is still unpopular among the younger generation of the Chengenhou Mansion. Grandma Xu has resentment in her heart against the second room, seeing that they have borrowed the power of the Chengenhou Mansion with their family affairs, and they have successfully recovered and studied, and even their connections have been stained, how can she be willing? However, now that Qin Jinhua and Qin Hanzhen have been married, Qin Jinchun and Qin Jinrong have all married, and the remaining Qin Hanzhu is a concubine, and she is too young, even if Grandma Xu is jealous of the second room, it is useless.

She is now ready to move, knowing that it is unrealistic to withdraw from the marriage, and on the other hand, she is unwilling to accept her daughter-in-law from a mediocre family, so she thinks about delaying for a moment or two, how long can it be delayed. If his son Xu Zheng can get some noble appreciation, or if it is delayed until the end of the examination, Xu Zheng successfully passed the Jinshi examination...... By that time, it is estimated that they should be able to attract the attention of high-ranking ladies with better family backgrounds, right?

Grandma Xu has always had contempt for the Lu family in her heart. She didn't think that when the time came, the Lu family would have the ability to oppose something. If the Lu family is really uninteresting and refuses to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage and protect Xu Zheng's reputation, it will be a big deal for her to let out some rumors and ruin Miss Lu's reputation. It's not the first time that Grandma Xu has done such a thing, and she thinks that she is familiar with the road and is as easy as a hand.

Qin Hanzhen has no hope for Grandma Xu's character. She said to the Niu family with some disapproval: "Auntie Auntie would make it easy for her to do this? Didn't you say that Grandma Xu had already gone to Dongfu to drink tea twice? Auntie Auntie must have something to say, right? If she really didn't want the Lu family's relatives, she should have resolutely refused at the beginning." Since he accepted the marriage contract at the beginning, and now he changes his hexagram, no matter what the reason, the reputation of the Xu family cannot be wanted. Today's Xu family is not the original Xu family, no matter what they do now, the world will think that his family is not innocent. Unless Grandma Xu really wants to ruin her son's future, ...... It's better for her not to do such stupid things. ”
