It stands to reason that whoever the princess falls in love with, the other party is no longer happy in her heart, and she can only shout long live, thanking the princess with gratitude and being willing to marry her own family. No matter how good you are to serve the princess, by the way, tell your mother and grandmother, this is not an ordinary daughter-in-law, don't think that you can handle it In short, in a word, Princess Shang's family, no one dares to make the princess unhappy, even if it is the top of the green cloud cover, you can only pinch your nose and endure it.

Such a scene obviously can't be applied to Yu Chi.

The noble family is scrambling to ask for Princess Shang, because they want to inherit the title and extend their wealth, if they talk about their own ability, they are not enough.

There are many countries in the Western Regions, and the forces are complicated, Yu Chi is in a foreign land, but he can meet the source left and right, and he has become the first merchant in the Western Regions in just 20 years, and he has the status of a nobleman. This kind of ability is absolutely beyond the reach of people, not to mention that he is also very clever in speculating on people's hearts. Qin Ke is actually a very affectionate person, Qin Wan and Shen Man get along with him day and night, and he really loves his wife and daughter, so that everything can go smoothly. Yu Chi only stayed in the Chongwen Pavilion for more than a year, which made Qin Ke quite trust him, and even ignored his identity as a Hu person, which shows his ability. If it weren't for this, Qin Wan would not have handed over the trust of the southeast transportation route to Yu Chi.

A man who has such ability, and because of the royal family, the whole family died. If you suppress him through imperial power, even if you have three points of favor, you will have to transform into seven points of evil. If this is the case, even if Princess Xin Cai will not be treated coldly, she will not be happy. Because the person she loves will never love her for the rest of her life, at most she will lie to her for a lifetime, and she doesn't even disdain to deceive, just respect each other like guests.

Princess Xincai is very good to Qin Wan, and Yuchi is a person that Qin Wan values very much, if something goes wrong with these two people, I am afraid that Qin Wan will have a headache first. Therefore, Qin Wan looked at Princess Xincai and said softly: "Fifth aunt, I already understand your intentions. Alas, you know, I was earlier alas"

Seeing that she rarely showed a sad look, Princess Xincai hurriedly comforted: "Don't you have to be sad if the matter is over." ”

"It's not that I'm sad, it's just that even if people like that, if I take back one point, they can score three points. But when I think about it, when I was younger, I was too arrogant. Relying on his noble status, he didn't pay much attention to them, and he didn't use the money and official position to send it. Qin Wan said, "People get along with each other, in the end, it's different, those who are insatiable, let's not talk about it, but"

The eldest princess of Xincai understood, her cheeks were crimson, and she no longer looked indifferent: "I know what you mean, if he marries me, ten people will have to say at least twelve words of Gao Pan, but any man with some heart will not be able to stand it." If I directly ask the royal brother to give me a decree on marriage, it will not be very interesting for husband and wife in this life. So I just wanted to ask you, if he doesn't want to" Princess Xin Cai bit her lip, her expression was full of determination, "I will always let him like me"

Whether he likes you or not, you've said it all, who would dare to marry him at the risk of offending you

The eldest princess of Xincai didn't know what Qin Wan was thinking, she seemed to think of something, glanced at the second niece standing next to her, and said: "If I marry him, I will definitely be like Chang Shan, gentle and considerate to the concubine, and I will never be arrogant and rely on the identity of the princess to mess around."

Qin Zhi didn't expect the conversation to turn to himself, and he was a little shy. Although Shen Man felt that the eldest princess of Xin Cai was a little too low-voiced, she also knew that the world was like this. Yu Chi is Qin Wan's person, Shen Man is not difficult to do, so he said: "This matter, it is not appropriate for you to ask, I can just talk to Ke Lang." ”

The implication is that you hurry up and report the news, so that Yuchi can be mentally prepared.

As for the refusal of those who have the courage to refuse such a favor as the royal family, there really has never been.

This is the imperial power, the royal people are reasonable, that is your blessing, if you are unreasonable, unless you have the ability to overturn the country, the princes and grandsons of the past, the ghosts under the knife today. Otherwise, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and they can only bear it.

"As for the southeast transport road"

Qin Wan was afraid that Shen Man would say lightly, "Then change people", and hurriedly said: "Under the government decree, the order will be changed overnight, which will inevitably lose the prestige of the court." ”

Shen Man really felt that as long as it was someone on his side, he could repair the southeast road for anyone, and there were not many opportunities to win over Princess Xincai and make her completely lean on this side. Seeing Qin Wan say this, he realized that things might not be as simple as he thought, so he said: "The eldest princess's wedding, you can't take it lightly, you really can't rush it." ”

After Princess Xincai and Princess Changshan stepped back, Qin Wan thought of interrupting his mother's speech, and leaned over a little hesitantly. Shen Man glanced at her, and said angrily: "Xin Cai has this idea, when will you bring me another son-in-law back?"

Qin Wan pondered for a moment, looked around left and right, and everyone retreated, and saw Qin Wan's expression solemn: "Auntie, every time you see Lu Zhaoyuan, is it like a fish in your throat, very unhappy?"

In front of her daughter, Shen Man didn't need to pretend, just listened to her deep voice: "It's really unpleasant." ”

"Yes, just Lu Zhaoyuan, compared to you, it's not worth mentioning at all."

"She doesn't have any other skills, she just gives birth to a son." Every time he thought of this, Shen Man felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and his heart was painful, but he tried his best to maintain his calm, "But for a woman, if she can't give birth to a son, even if she is talented, beautiful, and has extraordinary opinions, it is useless." ”

Because of this, she wanted to find a few more women for Qin Ke, and even tried to persuade Qin Ke not to keep three years of filial piety for so long, if she could give birth to a few more concubines, Lu Zhaoyuan would not be so hot.

"Nope."

Shen Man looked at Qin Wan in astonishment, and saw Qin Wan word by word, categorically: "It's not that women are useless if they can't give birth to sons, it's just because they have to rely on their fathers, husbands, and sons to survive in their lives, so they feel that their value is limited to this." ”

All the resources of this world are in the hands of men, who go in and out of the court and walk the outside world, but women have to be locked up in a small courtyard, with the lifelong pursuit of having children and raising offspring. Over time, even women themselves have forgotten that they can have other pursuits, and even use their own narrow vision and thinking to criticize those who have ideals, ambitions, and pursuits thousands of times higher than them, and use the power of "worldliness" to make the other party tragic for life.

For example, Su Yin, such as Lu Ling.

Qin Wan held Shen Man's hand and asked in a condensed voice: "Ah Niang, our mother and daughter, in addition to Aya, do you still need to rely on other people's men, even if you have this kind of heart, can other men be reliable?"

Shen Man was silent.

That's right, finding a few more women for Qin Ke can indeed make Lu Zhaoyuan unhappy. But without Lu Zhaoyuan, there are others, after all, it is the same.

"You"

"I'm not going to remarry." Qin Wan said lightly, "If the price of remarrying is the loss of existing power, I would rather live like this for the rest of my life." In my life, I will never bow my head to any man other than Aya. ”

When she said this, her expression couldn't be calmer, but it was full of unspeakable killing intent and blood.

Shen Man held Qin Wan's hand, and his voice trembled a little: "Bao'er"

"When I am in power, I will set foot on Goguryeo, break the Turks, suppress the Six Edicts and Tibet, and make the countries of the Western Regions bow down to Great Xia."

"When I am in power, the Jiangnan Canal will be opened, the southeast transportation road will be rebuilt, and all the grain from all over the world will be transported to Chang'an and Luoyang. The route is smooth and the fleet is mighty. ”

"When I am in power, I want to speak widely and be clear in government. People live and work in peace and contentment, and do not have to be displaced. The road is not left behind, and the night is not closed. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Wan's eyes were already filled with tears: "I hope it can be recorded in the history that I have done so much for my family and country, not the princess of Jiangdu that anyone can do, not because of my father, husband or son, but me, just me." ”

Shen Man hugged her daughter tightly and couldn't say anything.

I don't know how long it took before she asked softly: "Are you sure?" It is not so easy to control the government, now that the prince is still young, for the sake of the stability of the royal family, the important ministers may look at Qin Wan's ability and turn a blind eye to her governance. When the prince is older, if he doesn't return to power, it will be a big disapproval in the world. Don't look at the prime ministers who support her now, how they will choose at that time, don't ask.

"If you don't try, you won't even have the chance of winning."

Shen Man took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Okay, I'll help you." ”

What I can't do, you do; What you can't do, I'll help you. It's such a hard road that you can't walk alone.

Qin Wan only felt that her mother had made a very important decision, but she couldn't guess what she was thinking, so she couldn't help but wonder: "Mother"

"You don't know as much about your Aya as I do." Shen Man stroked his daughter's sideburns and said with a smile, "Ke Lang looks mature and steady, but in fact, he is very childish. He has suffered enough because of the secular rules, although he has always respected the rules, and he has also won the throne because of this. But I know that in his heart, he has always been unwilling. ”

Qin Ke's life is well-behaved, respectful, and he doesn't dare to go beyond the bounds. If it weren't for the inheritance of Dabao by mistake, it would be like this for a lifetime, although there were ups and downs, it was still quite happy overall. But deep down, isn't there anything he is unwilling to regret and regret?

"You don't want to have a conflict with Ke Lang, right, it's really not worth hurting our love for so many years." Shen Man's expression was extremely gentle when he stared at his daughter, but there was a sneer on the corner of his lips, "When our family of three was in trouble together, where were those women and children?"

If this splendid country really wants to be entrusted to one person to inherit, she is only willing to give it to her daughter. As long as Ke Lang turns the corner, it must be the same
