Concubine Shen smiled bitterly and shook her head, "You girl is really clever, she can't hide anything from you!" ”

"I originally wanted to find another family for you in the next few months, but I chose a few families but they all looked good at first, and then I inquired deeply, but they were not satisfactory. In the winter, Min'er's illness was committed again, and I accompanied him to live in the hot spring Zhuangzi, I wanted to wait for the spring when he was better, and I would give you a good look, but who knew that there was such a big incident in the first month! ”

Cai Wei thought about the gossip that had been spread the most in Beijing in recent months, and asked, "What did my cousin say about the seventh prince on the first day of the first lunar month?" ”

Concubine Shen nodded, "The Xinyou Rebellion of the year made me lose my two sons, and after that, I lived with Min'er's mother and son in a simple and dependent on each other, just hoping to live this life peacefully, for fear of getting involved in that muddy water again." But things in this world are so unsatisfactory □□ out of ten, since the first day of the first month of the seventh prince appeared on the Hanyuan Palace, Min'er and I easily asked for more than ten years of peaceful days, and it has come to an end. ”

"In the past two or three months, I think you have also heard some rumors, not only is Your Majesty going to be drafted, but also the princess of Min'er and Linchuan will be married, and it is precisely for this matter that I have no time and energy to do your business in the past few months."

Cai Wei hurriedly said: "Naturally, His Highness's matter is more important, but this is obviously a happy event, why is my cousin unhappy when she looks at it?" ”

Concubine Shen sighed and said, "Wei'er, do you know why Min'er is so old, but I never let him marry?" ”

"Everyone outside said that it was because His Highness was not in good health, so it was delayed until now."

"Min'er's body is not very good, but the dying man still has someone to ask for a bride to Chong Chongxi, although he has always had a chronic illness, but it is not that he can't get married, if he can really marry someone he likes, accompany him to take care of him considerately, maybe it will be more beneficial to his body!"

Cai Wei has read the history books, and at this time, she understands that the reason why she has been dragging on not letting King Yingchuan marry a wife and have children is because his identity is too special, if Emperor Lin De has no son in the future, then King Yingchuan is the first heir to the throne. However, Emperor Lin De has always had a difficult heir, and in this case, once King Yingchuan has an heir, it will definitely arouse a lot of suspicion in the palace. It is far better to be an heirless prince who is frail and sickly and can't even marry a wife, so that he can live a stable life and keep him safe for the time being.

But as soon as the matter of the Seventh Prince being a fool came out, even if King Yingchuan wanted to continue such a low schedule of not marrying a wife and not having children, he couldn't do it at all. He is not in a hurry to marry a wife and have children, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all anxious for his old Qin family!

This Qin dynasty from the Western Qin □□, through the Northern Qin, Southern Qin, has been passed to the current Yan Qin, although the middle has also been invaded by foreign races, but this temple has always been continuous, has been passed down to the present, this has been passed on for more than 30 generations, but can not be in today's saint here to no successor, broken!

Emperor Lin De is more than forty people, whether he can regenerate a prince is not necessarily, that is, he can regenerate a prince, what if he is a fool like the Seventh Prince?

Therefore, in order to be safe, not only Emperor Linde wants to be drafted, but the two royal highnesses King Yingchuan and King Linchuan also have to quickly marry a princess to give birth to a small county king.

After thinking about this clearly, Cai Wei also understood why Concubine Shen had a sad face, so she smiled and said, "Cousin, isn't she afraid that the princess and daughter-in-law who will marry back at that time will not like you, so she is worried here?" ”

Concubine Shen smiled, "Talking to you girl is not only worry-free, but also effort-saving!" If this princess of Yingchuan is all chosen by me, I will naturally be happy to let Min'er marry a wife earlier, but I am afraid, afraid that it will ...... then."

The advantage of talking to a smart person is that you don't have to say it thoroughly, and that person can understand what you mean when it's hard to say.

Cai Wei knew that Concubine Shen was afraid that the Empress Dowager Sun would force the girl from her Sun family into the Yingchuan Mansion to make her a princess. Don't say that this is royal, even if an ordinary person marries a daughter-in-law, it is not sloppy, as the saying goes, "a good wife and a good husband have few misfortunes", if you marry a troublemaker, it can really harm the family.

The girl of the Sun family is a good one, but as long as her surname is Sun and she has an aunt of the Queen Mother, then she can't have it. If this really makes her give birth to a son for King Yingchuan, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Sun will "leave her son to go to her father" for his son's dragon chair!

But although she figured out this layer, she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't help Concubine Shen give her advice. I could only comfort her: "I know what my cousin is worried about, but isn't there still King Linchuan?" If His Highness had an heir after his marriage......"

Concubine Shen shook her head, "Don't look at this time, he said that he was going to marry his brother and the princess, but in fact, my Min'er is the main master, he is just carrying and marrying a princess to go through the motions!" No one expected him to pass on the heir. ”

Concubine Shen didn't say a lot of things Cai Wei understood before, but this explanation she said made Cai Wei unable to understand, that King Linchuan is also the son of Prince Xianyide, and his mother is the niece of Queen Mother Sun, not closer to Queen Mother Sun, if Emperor Lin De really wants to have a step-heir, wouldn't it be better to choose King Linchuan than King Yingchuan?

When Concubine Shen saw her puzzled, she knew that she still didn't know the trick. No wonder she didn't know that she was not in the capital when King Linchuan made that earth-shattering event. This incident was in a uproar in the capital back then, from the ministers and courtiers to the ordinary people, and there were people in the streets and alleys who spread the rumors.

If it weren't for the people who were all over the capital to talk about it, the king of Linchuan would not have been so embarrassed and angry that he didn't even bring his entourage, ran out of Yanjing City alone, and wandered outside for two or three years before coming back.

Because of his angry departure, Emperor Linde, who felt sorry for his nephew, was furious, and he was furious, and issued an edict to prevent anyone from discussing the private interests of the king of Linchuan again.

After this edict was issued, several noble families in a row committed this crime of tongue and were severely punished, and even more so for the common people. Within a few days, no one in the capital dared to spread the * things about the King of Linchuan.

Therefore, although Cai Wei has lived in the capital for more than three years, he doesn't know the biggest flaw in King Linchuan, but it is this defect that makes him the least suspicious of the one in the palace, and because of Emperor Lin De's apology for him, he doesn't have to live cautiously and cautiously like his brother King Yingchuan every day, just think about how to come and go, and live a reckless, chic and happy life!

These days, Concubine Shen is so worried about the selection of the princess that her hair has turned white, but he is still wandering around like no one else, and continues to cause trouble.

From time to time, he also ran to this palace to tease Qin Min a few words, saying that he wanted to persuade his queen mother and aunt to choose a few more wives and concubines for his third brother, in addition to one main concubine, two more second concubines, and four more wives, so that his third brother could marry more and give birth to more at that time, so that he could send a son to play with, and go back to his old age! Choked so much that Concubine Shen couldn't say a word!

But Concubine Shen knew about what happened to Qin Fei back then, but in the end it was not good to talk about this kind of thing with Caiwei, a girl who had not yet left the cabinet, so she didn't explain it to her in detail, but asked: "Let's not talk about the King of Linchuan first, Min'er is what everyone's eyes are staring at right now, and it is also the most highly anticipated, because Empress Dowager Sun must have the idea of beating his marriage." If you want to prevent the woman chosen by the Empress Dowager Sun from entering the gate of my Yingchuan Palace, there is only one way to do it......"

Cai Wei saw that the concubine didn't say any more, but looked at herself fixedly, and vaguely thought of what the concubine's words were.

The concubine has her dowry list, and she only needs to give her another token of the Yingchuan Palace, so that she can say to the outside world that the parents and elders of the two families have already set up a relationship for her and the king of Yingchuan a few years ago. In this way, if it is Shun, then King Yingchuan will no longer have to be forced to choose a concubine, and she will marry into the palace of Nayingchuan and become Princess Yingchuan.

Becoming a princess, although her status is noble, but as soon as she enters the waiting door, it is still as deep as the sea, not to mention marrying into the royal family, she looks glamorous and rich on the outside, but in fact it is deep and treacherous, and once you are not careful, you will fall from the clouds into the deep pit, not to mention the brocade clothes and jade food, you just want to live a safe life with coarse tea and light rice, I am afraid that you can't.

If her father really wanted her to fly on the branches to be the master, why did he go to great lengths to find a good family for her to be entrusted with in the first place, instead of directly agreeing with the concubine about her marriage to King Yingchuan? It can be seen that in his father's heart, he only hopes that she can marry into a good family, as long as she can live in peace without worrying about food and clothing.

Cai Wei said a little apologetically: "Wei'er understands what my cousin means, but I have never had great ambitions, and I have never looked forward to any husband and wife, I just want to find an ordinary family and live a dull life behind closed doors." I can't share my cousin's worries, please forgive my cousin! ”

The concubine also knew such a big thing, and it was impossible for her to agree at once, so she said: "If it weren't for the palace to choose a concubine for Min'er, I would never have this thought, otherwise I would have asked you directly a few months ago if you would like to be my daughter-in-law." It's just that because of all the hardships of marrying into the royal family, I know very well, it's like I have a knife hanging over my head every day, no matter what, even for Min'er's body, I can't open this mouth. ”

"My son, not a long-lived man, if he marries such a good child as you, in the future, your husband and wife will have a shallow relationship, and he will go early, and you will not be left alone. is Min'er herself, and even thinks about not getting married for the rest of her life, so as not to hurt other girls. ”

Seeing the concubine say this, Cai Wei was even more reluctant in her heart, and hurriedly said: "My cousin is kind to me, it stands to reason that I shouldn't refuse, but my father doesn't want me to marry into such a high threshold as the royal family, and I ask the concubine to be considerate." In fact, the key to the cousin's method is to let His Royal Highness King Yingchuan have a family affair first, as for this girl who is engaged to His Royal Highness, there are so many famous ladies in the capital, and her family background is several times better than Caiwei, and her cousin will definitely be able to choose a favorite one. ”

The concubine smiled: "I naturally know what you said, but since I know, why do I still have to ask you first?" ”
