Chapter 3: The Turmoil Before the Big Wedding (Part II)

King Gaomi also has no choice, he can't say that he wants to get rid of Rong Sleeping Crane, the lost and recovered youngest son, but he has always been on guard.

Especially after Rong Sleeping Crane returned to the Gaomi Mansion as the champion, because of the great power of the Meng family, the people under his subordinates hoped to have a wise and martial young master to share the pressure and enhance their confidence.

Others are also okay, the Yuan family and the Zhao family, these two families are not only the in-laws of King Gaomi, but also his right-hand man, especially Zhao Shi of the Zhao family, that is his brother-in-law and the guarantee of military power, these people all coincidentally show their attention to Rong Sleeping Crane, how can King Gaomi not worry about his true heir, the son Rong Qingchu?

After failing to prevent Rong Sleeping Crane from returning to Nanfeng County to receive the Gongsun clan on Tortoiseshell Island, he did not hesitate to send his henchmen to pretend to be sea bandits to intercept and kill him halfway, in order to weaken this child's power, but he did not expect to be defeated as well.

As a result, King Gaomi not only lost a dead army, but also made him change his antiquity against Rong Sleeping Crane from his original defense to jealousy.

…… According to the development of this son, if Emperor Xuanjing can last another ten or eight years or something, it is no longer a matter of Rong Sleeping Crane grabbing Rong Qing's seat, it is Rong Sleeping Crane who wants to grab his seat!

The more King Gaomi thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he decided that no matter what, he couldn't let this son marry the daughter of the Zhao family!

Although he didn't have a good impression of a girl with a temperament like Sheng Weiqiao, and the relationship between the Sheng family and General Zhou, as well as the wealth of the family, he was not very satisfied.

But compared to Zhao Taoming, King Gaomi felt that Sheng Weiqiao was already a good choice.

At least Rong Sleeping Crane likes this girl, and he only needs to push the boat down the river to facilitate this.

Otherwise, Rong Sleeping Crane, who can be called a model of a rebellious son, can directly punch and kick him, and the princess is only the head of this son's horse, and temporarily find a girl with no power, no power and no money to stuff Rong Sleeping Crane as a little daughter-in-law, King Gaomi feels that this is impossible at all...... Even if it is possible, he can't get out of the body at all now that he is entangled by the Meng family, where does he have the energy to worry about this kind of thing?

When the princess discussed with the Qi family before to spread rumors to make the Sheng family retreat, King Gaomi clearly opposed it, but because of the news that the princess's henchmen brought back from Nanfeng County, the princess ignored him at all.

Now that the Sheng family has come to Chang'an, King Gaomi, after a short period of thought, decided to try his best to fight for this family business no matter what...... The position of the princess of Mizhen County can't be given to the Zhao family!

After all, he is not a dry eater, the old lady Qin of the Zhao family, his mother-in-law's private considerations, he did not count in his heart.

If he didn't let the daughter of the Sheng family enter the door quickly, he might have to give the Zhao family a chance to send Zhao Taocheng to the palace of Mizhen County as the hostess.

Therefore, the arrival of King Gaomi at this time was both fast and sincere: "This matter is all a misunderstanding, I can't hide it, the princess is very fond of He'er, so after hearing that He'er loves the county lord of Kangzhao, she specially sent someone to Nanfeng County to inspect the local customs, and even planned to add a southern cook to the palace in order to get along with the county lord of Kangzhao." But ......"

Hearing this, Old Lady Sheng didn't show it on her face, but exchanged glances with each other, and Old Lady Ming subconsciously frowned and said secretly: "Could it be ...... The princess heard about Jiuniang and Rao'er, so she looked down on Qiao'er?!"

She was up and down in her heart, but she heard King Gaomi continue: "But the subordinates don't know what's going on, but they heard some unfavorable words from Mrs. Xiaosheng, and believed it, and when she came back, she told the princess, which made the princess very troubled. The princess and her eldest daughter-in-law discussed the matter privately, and when discussing the truth or falsehood, they were heard by the talkative subordinates below, and it was also spread, so that it became a rumor that the princess did not like the county lord of Kangzhao. In fact, the princess didn't mean this, but just wanted to wait for the county lord Kangzhao to return to Chang'an, and personally meet with the county lord in private to confirm the truth of Mrs. Xiaosheng's words. ”

Originally, Old Lady Sheng and the others were silent, firstly, they had a fire in their hearts, and secondly, as Sheng Weiqiao's elders, it was natural for them to stand up at this time.

After all, Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao's family affair has always been Rong Sleeping Crane's side chasing Sheng Weiqiao and the Sheng family.

The Sheng family never said that they would stuff girls into the royal family!

At this time, many elders such as Sheng Weiqiao rushed to Chang'an, but the news that Princess Gaomi did not welcome Sheng Weiqiao was flying all over the sky, so it was reasonable, how could they let King Gaomi pass easily?

If this kind of thing is gently put down, who will be able to afford their girls in the future?!

But I didn't expect King Gaomi to mention "Mrs. Xiao Sheng", and now the faces of Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming changed, and Sheng Lan, whose face was sinking like water, asked one by one: "I don't know who the 'Mrs. Xiao Sheng' that the prince is talking about?!"

"It's the young sister of Dr. Sheng, the lady of the Sang family. "King Gaomi sells Sheng Lanling without any pressure, he knows the actions of Princess Gaomi to Nanfeng County, Princess Gaomi's henchmen set off on the front foot, and he sent people to follow him, so what Princess Gaomi's henchmen told the princess was clear.

Originally, he had some other plans for Sheng Lanling, but at this time, he was in a hurry to marry Sheng Weiqiao, so he could only throw her out first to block Sheng Weiqiao's elders: You see, it's not that our Gaomi Mansion despises your girl, it's that this girl's aunt is not good, and she took the initiative to say a bunch of bad things about my niece and nephew, how can we imagine that my aunt will ruin the future of my niece?

"I said a long time ago that I don't have that rebel girl, it's all you!" Old lady Sheng was so angry that she almost fainted!

If it weren't for the fast pull of Old Lady Feng on the side, he would almost have done it to Old Lady Ming on the spot, "Now you see it?!, that shameless brute, the boss worked hard to save money to support a large family, she lived in the courtyard where the boss honored you, and she had to ruin the reputation of her niece!! killing her father may not be so vicious and involve the child's family, such a snake and scorpion thing, why didn't Lao Tzu fall to death when she just landed?!"

Mrs. Ming didn't care about her shamelessness of being scolded by her husband in public at this time, and hurriedly explained to Sheng Lanci: "I really just want to give their mother and son a bite to eat, people have been locked up in Zhuangzi and are not allowed to be contacted by outsiders!"

She knows Sheng Lanci's temper, don't look at the usual care for her younger brothers and sisters, and she is also generous, but when it comes to Sheng Weiqiao, it is still a lifelong event, and Sheng Lanci absolutely does not recognize her six relatives!

So the old lady now don't beg this stepson to raise her hand to Sheng Lanling, she just asks Sheng Lan not to be angry, Sheng Lansi and Sheng Lanzi are thankful!

It's just that Sheng Lanci didn't even look at her at this moment, and asked King Gaomi with a blue face: "Dare to ask the prince, what did Sheng Lanling's slut arrange my family's obedience, and even let the princess pamper the king of Mizhen County, but also afraid that our Sheng family will be entangled in the Gaomi Palace?!"

Just listening to the title, you can see that he doesn't treat Sheng Lanling as a sister at all.

However, the purpose of King Gaomi's time to come here was to get married, not to kill Sheng Lanling by the hands of the Sheng family, so he said euphemistically: "It's all unfounded nonsense, and the princess cares about it, so she is suspicious." After the persuasion of this king in the past few days, the princess will also be happy, if it weren't for the princess's long-term illness before, she has not recovered until now, and today she would have come to ask for her guilt in person. ”

When he said this, although he further whitewashed the rumors that "Princess Gaomi doesn't like Sheng Weiqiao", it also made Sheng Lanci and others think: Sheng Lanling must have said something very excessive, and eighty percent of it is still something that can't be said on the scene, otherwise how could King Gaomi not even want to repeat it?

Sheng Lanci almost wanted to vomit blood: he thought that he had fulfilled his duties as an eldest brother to the four younger brothers and sisters below, especially the youngest sister Sheng Lanling, only Sheng Lanling repented of her marriage with Tu Ruchuan and eloped with the Sang family, and in the end the Sang family didn't even let her be a concubine, if it weren't for Sheng Lanci's painstaking efforts to help her, she would only be the outer room of Sang Zhiyun today!

As a result, how did this sister repay him?!

"Lan Ci!" Fortunately, Old Lady Feng was here, and seeing that her son-in-law's mood was wrong, she stepped forward in time and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, didn't the prince say it? It's a misunderstanding, it's good to solve it...... After all, no matter whether the two children get married in the future or not, there is no reason for our Qiao Er, a good child who is innocent, to be misunderstood and discussed like this at the feet of the Son of Heaven thousands of miles away, right?"

Sheng Lanci was a little resentful of Mrs. Sheng at this time, because last year Sheng Lanling ran back to her parents' house crying after she couldn't stand in the Sang family, although it was Mrs. Ming who felt sorry for her daughter, and tried every possible way inside and out, in the final analysis, it was with the acquiescence of Mrs. Sheng that Sheng Lanling had the opportunity to live in Sheng's mansion.

is the current situation of Sheng Lanling's mother and son, why is there no acquiescence from Mrs. Sheng?

If Mrs. Sheng implements the decision to expel her daughter from the house and sever the father-daughter relationship...... Sheng Lanling, who can't carry it on his shoulders and can't carry it, also has two underage sons, maybe he would have died in some corner a long time ago, or he was taken away, how could he have the opportunity to ruin his daughter's reputation? !

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Sheng Lanling is like this, she still has a connection with the people sent to Nanfeng County by Princess Gaomi, the Sheng family is rich, as the sister of the head of the family, but she is outcast, without food and clothing, as long as Princess Gaomi's henchmen are not broken, they should also think that there must be inside information, right?

I may not believe her.

In the final analysis, Princess Gaomi's henchmen will believe that Sheng Lanling's slander of Sheng Weiqiao is because Sheng Lanling is well raised in another courtyard and belongs to the Sheng family's protection!

Then, outsiders will naturally feel that what she said about Sheng Weiqiao is credible.

So at this time, if Old Lady Sheng came out to persuade her, Sheng Lanci might not have listened to it, but Old Lady Feng's father-in-law came out to speak, Sheng Lanci didn't give face, took a deep breath several times, barely suppressed her temper, and said, "What Dad said is ...... As for Sheng Lanling......"

He pinched the tea bowl in his hand hard before turning to King Gaomi, revealing a smile without a smile, "Let the prince laugh, that slut was kicked out of the house by his father because of his corrupt style in his early years, and he can't count it as my Sheng family's bloodline at all." This is clearly recorded on the genealogy, if the prince doesn't believe it, we can immediately send someone back to Nanfeng County to get the genealogy to verify!"

"That's not necessary. King Gaomi shook his head and said, "This king is telling the truth: if it is an aunt who really loves her niece, even if her niece is not good, she will definitely say good things to the outside world." This Mrs. Xiao Sheng said all the bad things about the county lord of Kangzhao. Looking at this alone, this king also has to suspect that Mrs. Xiao Sheng has bad intentions. In the final analysis, it was the people under the princess who were too honest and didn't know how to be flexible, and the news with such obvious problems was actually told to the princess in its original form. And the princess thought that her subordinates never lied, but she believed it. ”

He sighed, "After all, this matter is that our government can't live with the Sheng family, and even more with the county lord Kangzhao." ”

Although Old Lady Feng, Sheng Lanci and others, when they were in Nanfeng County earlier, they heard Rong Sleeping Crane say that he was not intimate with King Gaomi at all, and it was even very likely that he would turn against each other in the future, but listening to the reasonable words of this prince at this time, the most important thing was that there was Sheng Lanling, the aunt of the niece of the pit, as a shield, and the Sheng family had no face to question the negligence and injustice of the Gaomi Palace, and their expressions were more or less eased when they heard the words.

And King Gaomi and the Meng family have been fighting for many years, and the kung fu on the scene is naturally very good, observing words and feelings, and listening to what he says, especially after ensuring that Rong Sleeping Crane marries Sheng Weiqiao, he will definitely do his best to ensure that this son will not have any more troublesome moves, so that Sheng Lanci and the others will completely stretch their eyebrows: Even if they know that King Gaomi can't control Rong Sleeping Crane at all, but as the future father-in-law of his own girl, he will be comfortable in the end.

However, King Gaomi actually really decided to restrain Rong Sleeping Crane like this, of course, he couldn't do it for Sheng Weiqiao's consideration, but he was worried that Rong Sleeping Crane would have a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right, and he would win over the previous team to help...... Shu Yao's side had already heard about the idea of Rong Sleeping Crane's backyard because of the Shu sisters' fancy for Rong Sleeping Crane.

Now he is worried that this son is too sought-after and developing too fast, and he can't wait for Sleeping Crane to guard Sheng Weiqiao in his life!

Even if Sheng Weiqiao can't be infatuated with Rong Sleeping Crane like Emperor Xuanjing, staying in the palace of Mizhen County all day long, I don't ask about political affairs, but in the performance of Sheng Lanci and others, as well as the camp of people from Nanfeng County this time, I also know that the rumors that this Kangzhao County Lord is favored by the county are absolutely true!

"That kid marries such a wife, he is pampered and willful, and he must be jealous!" King Gaomi sneered in his heart, "At that time, those who originally wanted to have a relationship with him by recommending side concubines, concubines, etc., don't have to be stopped by this king, and the first one of the Sheng clan will not agree!"

At that time, these people who would have become Rong Sleeping Crane's help may instead have a grudge against the Mizhen County Mansion because of Sheng Weiqiao's jealousy!

King Gaomi was thinking about it like this, and he was even more enthusiastic about marrying the Sheng family, and in the end, he almost patted his chest and promised that Sheng Weiqiao would be more affectionate than his own daughter, and if there is a conflict between the young couple in the future, he will definitely beat his son and coax his daughter-in-law!

…… So after some talking, the atmosphere changed from tense to happy for the guests and hosts.

King Gaomi saw that the heat was almost over, so he directly changed his tone and shouted "in-laws": "The marriage of the two children, it happens that the in-laws are here, is it not here to discuss it first, if there is no problem, then go to the six ceremonies?" In the end, my crane is also twenty, and now it is the end of the year, if it is delayed, it will be delayed...... The county lord of Kangzhao is still young, my He'er is a little old at this age, and when his eldest brother is this age, there are three or two children. ”
