After listening to Cai Yuanzhen's words, Qin Hanzhen was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "What did you say?"

Cai Yuanzhen glanced around vigilantly, and then said: "I didn't lie to you, it's true! I listened to what my mother said, and she couldn't be untargeted." So you'd better inform Yongjiahou and the king of Suning about this, if you don't want anything to go wrong with your marriage with the king of Suning, you have to ask the emperor for marriage as soon as possible. ”

Qin Hanzhen wondered if he had hallucinated just now. She was walking in the woods around Zhuangzi when she saw Cai Yuanzhen, a new good friend, suddenly run out from behind the bushes, stopped her, and told her that her mother, Madame Yunyang Hou, had been hinted at by the crown princess Tang in the palace, and intended to promote the marriage between Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, and Cai Yuanzhen. Then Cai Yuanzhen rejected her mother's proposal on the spot, and ran to tell her to be on guard in advance?

If this is really true, then she really has made a wonderful friend, a real good friend. On the other hand, what is the crown princess doing? What is she doing to meddle in Zhao Mo's marriage? She is not Zhao Mo's mother, and her relationship in the clan is not very close, let alone any kindness or friendship for many years towards Zhao Mo. It's just that the prince has a good relationship with Zhao Mo, so the crown princess, as the wife of the former, can also get Zhao Mo's respect. But this respect is definitely not enough to make Zhao Mo change his mind and obey her orders to decide his life's events. Could it be that something went wrong on the side of the emperor or the crown prince? They changed their minds and decided to oppose Zhao Mo's marriage to her?

Qin Hanzhen pursed her lips and showed a smile to Cai Yuanzhen: "Sister Cai, thank you for telling me this." Without you, I would have been very passive. ”

Cai Yuanzhen's face flushed slightly, and she said a little crampedly: "It's nothing, this is what I should have done." Aren't we good friends......? You listened to me, but don't be angry. My mother doesn't know about you and the king of Suning County, it's just a friendship between ordinary childhood sweethearts. She is thinking about me wholeheartedly, because she thinks that the king of Suning County is an outstanding young talent, so she wants to recruit him as a son-in-law. But I knew in my heart that the king of Suning County had someone in his heart, and he would never get involved in it. I'm not that kind of person. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and took her hand: "Sister Cai, don't worry, I won't misunderstand." If you had the heart to step in, you wouldn't have come to me and told me this. I really appreciate you in my heart. As for Mrs. Yunyang Hou, she was also a motherly heart, just because Cousin Zhao was really outstanding, she could see how good he was, and it was normal to want to recruit him as a son-in-law. What do I have to be angry about? Not to attract envy is to be mediocre. After a pause, she added, "Sister Cai, you are a very good girl. Not only is he beautiful, but he is also kind, talented, kind-hearted, and upright. I've never seen a more perfect, better girl than you. I believe that you will be able to find a partner who truly respects and loves you, and you will be very happy in the future. ”

Cai Yuanzhen's face turned even redder, and she said embarrassedly: "Why did you suddenly make a slap on the back? However, it is difficult for you to say so many good things about me, and I am glad to hear it, so I will forgive you. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and pulled her for a walk, and chatted with her a little casually, mainly to inquire, did she know why the crown princess suddenly said such things to Mrs. Yunyang Hou?

Cai Yuanzhen is not very clear about the inside story. Just now, her attention was focused on persuading her mother and brother not to agree with the crown princess's idea and decide her marriage, but she was negligent about the reason why the crown princess suddenly said such things. She could only provide Qin Hanzhen with some gossip for reference: "Do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to succeed the King of Suning County as his heir?"

Qin Hanzhen hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I've heard of it, but Cousin Zhao has already rejected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person." He also told my grandfather that he didn't want to recognize someone else as a father. No matter how his father treated him, he could not forget his mother's kindness. If he passed to the crown prince, his mother would no longer be his mother. He couldn't stand this. ”

"I see. The king of Suning is really a filial son. Cai Yuanzhen sighed and continued, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very fond of the King of Suning County, and he has always had the intention of succeeding him. And the emperor is still hesitating, because he hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have another little emperor grandson and pass on the throne to his own flesh and blood. If the succession of the clan is passed, but there is a grandson born in the East Palace, it is not only easy to cause turmoil in the royal family, but also may cause instability in the court and chaos in the world. Therefore, unless it is certain that the crown prince will not have any more sons, the emperor is unwilling to pass on his step-grandson so early. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes that the royal family has no heir, which is the culprit who has caused the chaos in the court over the years. As long as there is a successor to the royal family, whether it is biological or inherited, the clan will no longer be delusional, so that the world can settle down, and the clan and courtiers can return to peace. The king of Suning County is older, intelligent and decisive, close to the royal family, and has a close relationship with the crown prince, so he is the best candidate. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that he would succeed him sooner or later, so it was better to settle the matter as soon as possible, and it would save the clan from being uneasy. ”

The prince's thinking cannot be said to be wrong. However, as the emperor believed, unless it was determined that the crown prince could not have any more children, it was too risky to determine the emperor's heir now. If Zhao Mo entered the East Palace and became the emperor's grandson, and the prince gave birth to a son, according to the etiquette law, Zhao Mo would be the rightful heir, but in the eyes of the royal family, he suddenly became a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, which was an obstacle to the emperor's grandson and the prince's son from inheriting the throne. At that time, whether it is to abolish Zhao Mo's storage position or directly wipe him out, he will be the one who suffers. Even if no one wants to depose him, he has successfully ascended the throne, and the future throne will not be stable. Because everyone will feel that there is a more qualified heir than him who is living in the present.

Why bother? Thankless and self-inflicted. If you want to ask Qin Hanzhen, she is not willing to let Zhao Mo take this risk. Now that he is a small county king, running a small fiefdom, and his life is also very good, why should he insert a foot in it and fall into the quagmire of competition for storage positions?

Cai Yuanzhen told Qin Hanzhen: "The crown princess should also be on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince." She had told people good things about the king of Suning County more than once, and said that it would be nice if the king of Suning County was really her son. Not only is she very concerned about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the king of Suning County, but for the king of Suning County, she also once beat the princess of the King of Liao - oh, now the one who has been abolished is not the princess, but she is still the stepmother of the king of Suning County. I think that if the crown princess is also like the crown prince and thinks that the king of Suning will become their son sooner or later, it will be normal for them to pay attention to the marriage of the king of Suning. ”

Qin Hanzhen nodded knowingly. If the crown princess treats Zhao Mo as a son, then it is human nature to want to marry a perfect daughter-in-law to her "son". Even if Qin Hanzhen feels that there is nothing wrong with him, he also feels that Cai Yuanzhen is a more outstanding lady in the eyes of the world, whether it is family background, appearance, talent, temperament, and conduct, she is impeccable. She is the perfect daughter-in-law in the eyes of wives and grandmothers. Picky like Yao's, as soon as he heard that the Yunyang Hou Mansion had the intention of taking a fancy to Qin Jian as his son-in-law, he was so happy that he couldn't do it, so he hurried to make friends with the Yunyang Hou Mansion, urging his son to behave more in front of the Cai family, so that the marriage could be settled as soon as possible?

However, even if the crown princess had good intentions, this was not a reason for her to interfere in Zhao Mo's marriage without authorization. Not to mention that Zhao Mo had already reported to the emperor and the crown prince, and he intended to marry Qin Hanzhen. Unless the emperor and the crown prince have already changed their minds, the crown princess's approach is quite embarrassing. And the emperor and the crown prince ...... It shouldn't be that Qin Bai, the Marquis of Yongjia, will overturn everyone's earlier consensus, right?

Qin Han really felt that it was really necessary for him to inform his grandfather Qin Bai and Zhao Mo.

She thanked Cai Yuanzhen again, and said that she would tell her grandfather and Zhao Mo as soon as possible. When Cai Yuanzhen heard this, she relaxed and said with a smile: "That's good." I hope you all the best. The princess may just be unaware, but don't make too much trouble, otherwise my mother will be embarrassed to see the princess. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "No." The crown princess and our family have always gotten along well, and I believe this time it was just a misunderstanding. She paused for a moment before asking, "Sister Cai, can I ask...... How do you know...... What about Cousin Zhao and me?"

Cai Yuanzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "Naturally, someone told me." But don't worry, no matter who it is, if the gossip reaches me, it won't be spread casually. My mouth is very tight, and my girl's mouth is also very tight. I won't say a word about things that shouldn't be said. ”

Qin Hanzhen guessed that it might have been spread by Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun. In recent days, they have been having fun with the Cai sisters and getting along very closely. Qin Jinchun is also familiar with Cai Jizhen, and even the truth that she missed the position of the lord of Donggong Minshun County that day was because her sister Qin Jinyi poured a bucket of cold water on her, and she never concealed it. Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo are close, it is not news among the three heads of the Qin family, maybe Qin Jinchun or Qin Jinhua just mentioned it in passing.

Cai Yuanzhen was obviously very friendly to Qin Hanzhen, and she also reminded Qin Hanzhen of one thing: "In the future, if you have anything to say in front of me, you don't have to be taboo." In front of Sister Yu, it doesn't hurt. She may be cold to what you say, but she has a noble heart and will not say anything nonsense. Tang Su was a little open-mouthed, but there was no malice. Zhang Shu's temper is not very good, but if she has any dissatisfaction and resentment, it will be over on the spot, and she will not hold grudges against others. But...... You'd better not reveal too much about yourself to Pei Yin. She's not the one who can keep her word, and she'll tell someone about you at any time. Qin's second sister had a bad relationship with the grandson of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu before, and she told me. Although she has no bad intentions, there is something wrong with her after all. There is also a two-bedroom ...... of the Xu family."

She pursed her lips: "What you asked me to inquire about before, my third aunt was too lazy to look for someone after returning to the city, so I found Second Lady Xu and Second Grandma Xu to ask, but I didn't expect them to say everything, even Second Sister Qin said that it was because Grandma Xu secretly did bad things, and she never concealed it." I think the two elders of the Xu family may just want to please our family, but they are so flattering, it is really unexpected. The Xu family's family style is like this, and my mother doesn't like it. She hopes that my sister-in-law and younger siblings will be steady, courteous, and upright ladies. ”

Qin Hanzhen raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood the meaning of Cai Yuanzhen's words.
