Chapter 84: The Influence of the Marriage of the Great Prince
Old Madam Qi also knew that in fact, there was not much time left for them, although it seemed that there was still a year to go, but it was so easy to say that it would be so easy to see each other.
Especially since their Annan Hou Mansion has not yet recovered, they can only be found in the homes of similar people, although it is a pity for Mrs. Qi, she still decided to marry Su Xilan and Su Xizhu as soon as possible.
The people in the Marquis of Annan didn't know that when the queen handed the emperor the list of concubines and concubines she wanted to choose for the eldest prince, the emperor was stunned for a while, and then made such a holy decree.
The queen also guessed for a long time when she received the holy decree, but she couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, but although she didn't achieve her goal, the queen didn't despair, so the two giants of the queen maintained an inexplicable balance.
As for the young lady of the Marquis of Annan, it was originally the queen who tested the emperor, so the queen easily forgot about it, as for the disgusting Dingguo Mansion, the queen was afraid that she and the emperor would be disgusted in the end, and she really didn't know that the Marquis of Annan Mansion raised children like this.
Just when Mrs. Qi was thinking about which family was suitable to marry, she didn't know that such a crisis in the Hou Mansion of Annan had passed.
Of course, Su Xilan was very sad to hear the news that the eldest prince had chosen the imperial concubine, but unfortunately no one cared about her ambitions, because Sheng Jing quickly posted something that people talked about.
When the marriage decree went down to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, Shangguan Fu's mother and daughter were very happy, after all, although the eldest prince was not named the crown prince, he had the greatest opportunity, so Shangguan Fu would be the queen in the future, how much glory was this?
However, after all, Mrs. Shangguan has been running the back house for many years, so Mrs. Shangguan has been preparing for her daughter's marriage since she arrived in the mansion. She was afraid that her daughter would be calculated before the marriage, so she always took Shangguan Fu with her.
And Shangguan Fu was indeed calm, except for a few handkerchiefs, there were no outsiders, and for a while there was no room for anyone who wanted to please and calculate her.
Although there is still half a year left in the wedding period, there must be more things to prepare for marrying the royal family, unlike the elation of Mrs. Shangguan, the commander of the Nine Gates, Shangguan Ling, has been studying with the strategists in the study for a long time.
"The head of the family, has the emperor decided to make the eldest prince the crown prince this time?" A younger-looking strategist could not hide his excitement, although he tried to keep his composure.
"No, if the emperor has the heart to give marriage this time, he will not crown the eldest prince as the king of Jin, but directly establish him as the crown prince, you must know that although the eldest prince is not outstanding, there are no bad rumors until now, and the other party is the eldest son, even if the emperor directly appoints the eldest prince as the prince, the ministers will not say anything." An older advisor retorted.
"Since the emperor doesn't want to make a big prince, why would he give the eldest lady to the other party as a concubine? You must know that the head of the family has always been neutral, doesn't this push the head of the family to the side of the eldest prince? The young counsellor did not understand.
"Could it be that the emperor misunderstood the head of the family?" The old strategist looked at Shangguan Ling, although he was the other party's strategist, but Shangguan Ling did not study everything with himself, the old strategist was old and sophisticated, he cared about Shangguan Ling's consultation with him, and he would not ask if he didn't consult with him.
"No, I'm afraid the emperor didn't have the idea of establishing a prince at all, but the eldest prince is old, and after all, he is both a grandson and a long, and his mother's family is also strong, so the emperor has no choice but to compromise and appease the queen's family
, and our family is a sweet jujube given by the emperor to the eldest prince. ”
The emperor is not yet confused, and he seems to be in good health, where would he want to set up an heir to hinder his eyes, now it is just a compromise made by the emperor in order to appease the queen and appease the forces behind her.
Of course, the emperor also considered the possibility of his preference for the eldest prince, and it can only be said that the emperor has a way to deal with this, and some of his deputies are from the royalist faction, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be overpowered by the emperor.
So at present, the best thing for the Shangguan family is to remain unchanged and remain neutral, but they are going to wronged their daughter, and the eldest prince and his family will not achieve their goals on their side, I am afraid that they will snub their daughter.
Although Shangguan Ling feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, the grievances are only temporary, if the eldest prince can reach the top in the future, with his own identity, it is the emperor who has to stabilize the situation by himself, so his daughter's blessing is behind.
If the eldest prince did not reach the top, although they were the in-laws of the eldest prince, they had never participated in the seizure of the heir, no matter who ascended the throne, with their own positions, there would be no catastrophe of family annihilation, but they would not be reused for a period of time.
Shangguan Ling thought about it again and again and decided to keep everything unchanged, the older strategist agreed very much, but the younger strategist felt that he should give it a go, but unfortunately Shangguan Ling had already made up his mind.
Shangguan Ling looked at his excited wife and daughter, and had the heart to mention a few words, but in the end, he couldn't say anything, so he could only be more wasteful about his daughter's dowry, even if the eldest prince snubbed his daughter, his daughter would be better off with a rich dowry.
When Su Xizhu heard the news that the emperor gave the eldest prince a marriage, she was actually very curious about what Xu Jianniang would do? It's just that she and Xu Jianniang have no intersection, so she can only be curious, but she didn't expect that it didn't take long for Xu Jianniang to give Su Xizhu a big melon to eat.
At this time, in the cabinet bachelor's mansion, Xu Jianniang was locked in the room by her grandmother and mother, and she was grounded by the family after she knew that the eldest prince was given marriage, because she was afraid that she would secretly meet the eldest prince to do something that would damage her reputation.
Xu Jianniang sat on her bed and hugged her legs and sneered, how could she do something that damaged her reputation? She's not stupid? Besides, when she decided to seduce the eldest prince, was it difficult for the family to find out? It's just a joke to say that it's reputational damage now.
Of course, Xu Jianniang is worthy of the family, but she also wants to prepare for both, and now she knows that there is no hope and locks herself up, which is really funny. Isn't it a joke that you don't have the guts to get a high position?
Although Xu Jianniang is full of resentment, she is also a smart person, of course she will not fall out with her mother's family, and complying with her mother's grounding is just to show her discomfort, and of course, the most important thing is to avoid the eldest prince.
On the day of the Birthday Day, the behavior of the eldest prince scared Xu Jianniang, she didn't want to really lose the eldest prince in this situation, but she couldn't tear her face, so the best excuse was that she was grounded and didn't see the eldest prince, so that she could still leave an indelible impression in the heart of the eldest prince.
Xu Jianniang sneered, Shangguan Fu seemed to have won, but the eldest prince likes beauty, and Shangguan Fu's appearance is not what the eldest prince likes at all.
It's just that Shangguan Fu wants Qin Se and Ming to be dreaming, especially now in the heart of the eldest prince, I'm afraid that Shangguan Fu is the culprit who broke them up.
Of course, Xu Jianniang will not think that the eldest prince can do anything for her, but she will definitely do something to make Shangguan Fu disgusting, the emperor just doesn't let the eldest prince accept the concubine, but he didn't say that he won't let him take a concubine.
In fact, Xu Jianniang hated Shangguan Fu a little inexplicably, after all, Shangguan Fu didn't know about Xu Jianniang and the eldest prince, and Shangguan Fu married the eldest prince or the royal family took the initiative to marry, but Xu Jianniang just hated Shangguan Fu and hated her for blocking her Qingyun Road, so Xu Jianniang wanted to see Shangguan Fu unlucky.
Just when Xu Jianniang was pondering, the door was opened, Xu Jianniang's mother Cai came in, looking at the eldest daughter's somewhat haggard little face, Cai was a little distressed, but she was not the only Xu Jianniang child, so for the sake of the family, she could only grieve Jiaoniang.
"Girl."
"Mother, why are you here?" Xu Jianniang put away the sneer on her face, and looked a little weak and helpless.
"Jiao Niang, are you better? Don't blame your mother, your mother is also forced to do so. ”
"No, I know that my mother is embarrassed, and my mother is also good for me." Xu Jianniang's smile was a little weak, who could see her grievances.
Cai was actually frightened when she knew that her daughter was in contact with the eldest prince, but she persuaded Jiao Niang, but Jiao Niang promised that she would be the eldest princess in the future, and she would be the crown princess and queen, so Cai was tempted.
Their Xu family is related to An Guifei because of the relationship between the sister-in-law, but it is not a hardcore An Guifei family, especially when Jiao Niang and the eldest prince were contacted, An Guifei and the family were being suppressed badly, so when the husband also knew about it, the Xu family gave Xu Jianniang a lot of convenience.
Of course, the Xu family also hopes to become a relative of the emperor, and it is still possible for a daughter to be a princess by virtue of her identity, who knows that Concubine An Guifei was later preserved, not to mention that the emperor also gave the eldest prince a marriage, which let the Xu family know that their dream of stepping on two boats was shattered.
The Xu family thought about it for a long time, and decided to still stand on the emperor's "true love" An Guifei's faction, after all, they were barely in that line, and in the eldest prince, they were afraid that they would be suppressed by the Shangguan family, and some of the gains outweighed the losses.
The most important thing is that their aunt and grandmother, who married into the An family, said that she intended to let Xu Jianniang's sister Xu Meiniang marry the fourth prince in the future.
Xu Meiniang is the same age as the fourth prince, now studying in the Royal Academy, and the youngest daughter of the An family, An Qingru, the same classmate, the two have a good relationship, even if the An family lets An Qingru marry the fourth prince as the concubine and the daughter as the side concubine, but the concubine and the side concubine with the same interests are always good, especially they are not only cousins but also have the love of youth.
When the four princes ascend the throne in the future, how can Xu Meiniang be named a concubine, won't everything be okay by then. As for why the Xu family believes that the chances of the fourth prince ascending the throne are greater than that of the eldest prince, it is because in the eyes of the Xu family, An Guifei is the emperor's "true love".
As for why the Xu family is so confident, didn't they see that the An family was just because of Emperor An Guifei at that time, and they saved Prime Minister An's family? Such "true love" is certainly worthy of trust.
The emperor does not appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince for the sake of An Guifei, for the sake of true love, the emperor loves the house and Wu will definitely choose the four princes, especially I heard that among all the princes now, the emperor likes the four princes the most, so the Xu family's decision to team is also deliberate.
