In the middle of the afternoon, the warm sun is shining, which is the warmest time of the day.

At the east gate of the palace, Qinghe Marquis Chen Xu came out of the palace with a group of wives and daughters talking and laughing.

"Don't forget what you promised, a box of soap every month!" After walking out of the east gate, Zhao Hai took Chen Xu's hand with a smile on his face and admonished.

"Don't worry, you will never forget, someone will send it to Chunfangyuan when the time comes!"

"Two days later, Hai will hold a banquet in Chunfangyuan, and Zuo Xiang must come to enjoy his face!"

"Jianhou Mo hasn't lost his fun today?"

"Hehe, naturally, when the time comes, we must get back the capital we lost today!"

"Haha, okay, Chengcheng Hou will prepare the gambling funds, Xu will definitely go to the banquet and say goodbye!"

Chen Xu was held by an old man with gray hair, and felt a layer of goosebumps all over his body, and after Shui Qingrou and others got into the car, he hurriedly got in the car and said goodbye.

Chen Xu's carriage roared away, and Zhao Hai's smile slowly fell silent, until Chen Xu's carriage disappeared into the noisy and bustling street, and then he sighed slightly with a melancholy face and summoned his carriage to leave.

Although he is ambitious, but he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, if he wants to get what he wants, the key to everything is actually in Chen Xu, if Chen Xu is not optimistic about Hu Hai or does not agree with Hu Hai to ascend the throne as emperor, then even if Hu Hai succeeds, the final may be a bamboo basket.

He didn't have the kind of entanglement and resentment that Hu Hai had towards Chen Xu.

He had even begun to regret a little that he shouldn't have participated in Hu Hai's plan, which was almost like stealing his family and killing his head.

In Hu Hai's opinion, his imperial grandfather is capable of reaching the sky, and the imperial historian Meng Yi, the left minister Chen Xu, the right minister Feng Quji, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military princes and princes can happily drink and talk, and even chat and play chess with the emperor at any time.

But in fact, only he knows best, he has no power, no power, and a noble marquis, and in the eyes of Meng Yi and Chen Xu, he is just an old gentleman.

Everyone respects him, but he respects his status as an imperial uncle.

Therefore, he has to slowly contact and test Chen Xu, to see if he can draw Chen Xu together to support Hu Hai, if he has Chen Xu's support, he may be able to ascend the throne without pretentiousness, this is the best result, and now it seems that the emperor is paying more and more attention to Hu Hai, which is a good sign.

But at the moment, it seems that Chen Xu is not very enthusiastic about him.

"Husband, Uncle Huang seems to be a little too enthusiastic today?" On the departing carriage, Ying Shiyan hugged her second daughter and said a little strangely.

"I also think that the Marquis of Jiancheng personally sent us out of the palace today, I have never heard of it before!" Meng Wan also hugged her daughter and nodded.

Shui gently glanced at Chen Xu slightly and said with a smile: "Today, Jiancheng Hou ate a piece of soap and lost thousands of dollars to his husband, I'm afraid that his face is a little unsightly, so I want to invite my husband to eat wine to cover up my embarrassment!" ”

"Hee hee ~ built Hou to eat soap...... Oops, I'm laughing to death......" Meng Wan, who usually has a low laugh, laughed directly and almost threw her daughter on the ground.

"Wan Niang, don't say it, Jiancheng Hou is eating too fast, we can't stop it!" Ying Shiyan also hugged her daughter and laughed, and she couldn't sit still.

"Fortunately, this soap is made of sesame oil, and it is not poisonous, otherwise the husband would have sinned too much today, and the emperor would not know how to punish the Hou Ye even if he poisoned the emperor!" Fan Caiying also hugged her daughter and covered her mouth, eating and laughing.

Fan Caiwei's equally smiling flower branches trembled on Chen Xu's shoulders, and a pair of full and gentle Chen Xu felt a little itchy in his heart.

There are many wives and concubines in the family, but there are very few who are really close to each other, and it seems that she has not spoiled her sister-in-law for more than a month, and she can't be neglected like this for a long time, so Chen Xu smiled and hugged Fan Caiwei's soft waist and gently pinched it a few times and said with a smile: "Blame me!" ”

"Hehe, naturally it's a strange husband, what you give to your father on weekdays is food, but this time you suddenly sent some inedible ......" Ying Shiyan's eyes couldn't open.

"Husband, just now in the palace, Ziying asked Yu Ji why he didn't come to play with him, you have to think of a way to do this as soon as possible!" After a burst of laughter, Shui looked at Chen Xu with a little worry.

Chen Xu also had a toothache in an instant and began to stroke his chin.

Yu Ji was only six years old when she first came to Xianyang, and Ziying was eight years old at that time, and later Chen Xu became Ziying's teacher, there will be a class every ten years, and Ziying will be familiar with Yu Ji after a few years, and the relationship between childhood sweethearts has been very close in a few years, originally according to the idea of the first emperor is that Ziying marries Yu Ji, but was stopped by Feng Quji and Meng Yi, and now Yu Ji is getting bigger and bigger, and her childhood feelings did not make her like Ziying, but slowly turned to Chen Xu, and Ziying grew up in the palace, and there are not many playmates who can make friends on weekdays, There are fewer girls of the same age like Yu Ji, so their feelings for Yu Ji are very deep, but this relationship is a bit wishful thinking.

Now Chen Xu is teaching Ziying in the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, and Yu Ji basically lives in the Qinghe Courtyard outside the city, the opportunities for the two to meet are getting fewer and fewer, and the older they get, Yu Ji is more and more attached to Chen Xu, and the child is also reluctant to play together, and today when he entered the palace to visit the First Emperor, Chen Xu didn't bring Yu Ji at all, in order to avoid suspicion.

According to the meaning of the first emperor at the moment, Ziying may be the prince of Daqin in the future, so Yu Ji's identity is not worthy of Ziying, this is the idea of all nobles, and there is a deeper reason, that is, whether it is the prince or the royal family, they do not want Chen Xu's strength to further expand, and now Chen Xu's identity is almost above the court, if Ziying marries Yu Ji, then Chen Xu is half a father-in-law in addition to being Ziying's uncle (well, the relationship and title of Chen Xu's family are too confusing, The old guest is almost a little confused), plus Ziying was originally Chen Xu's student, and under the suppression of these three identities, it is easy to set aside the royal power.

The emperor can not care, or understand that Chen Xu will not covet the imperial power, but the civil and military officials and princes and princes who are in the court will not think so, after all, the belief in the supremacy of the king is still deep-rooted, and a relative cannot be used to set aside the royal power to control the center.

What's more, the matter of Lu Buwei's concubine is still close at hand.

Therefore, Chen Xu himself is also cautious about this matter.

Almost all the powerful ministers in history did not end well, and the identity of an immortal disciple does not guarantee that he will be safe in his life.

If it weren't for the fear that Daqin would collapse too quickly, Chen Xu would prefer to be like Yu Wuya, take his wife and daughter to travel around the world on a big ship, or be a rich man with a group of wives and concubines, instead of staying in the broken place of Xianyang and intriguing with a group of princes and princesses, since he came to Xianyang, he has basically not been very happy.

"Last time, Brother Yu wrote a letter saying that he would come back from Yingzhou in the spring, and now it's February, and they will be back soon, so let Yu Ji go with him when the time comes, Yu Ji was picked up by him after all, and his father is too incompetent!" Chen Xu said with a wry smile.

"Husband, you are really willing to let Yu Ji leave!" Meng Wan couldn't help but speak.

"How reluctant, what if she is reluctant, her stay in Xianyang must be a heart disease of Ziying, if Yu Ji follows me, I don't know how Ziying thinks of me, this matter will be arranged like this!" Chen Xu shook his head and sighed.

"Husband, just ...... I was in the harem, I ...... I met the eighth sister and the ninth sister......" Ying Shiyan suddenly looked at Chen Xu with a strange face.

"How are the two princesses?" Chen Xu asked strangely.

"The eighth sister and the ninth sister all said that they hadn't seen you for a long time, and they wanted to ...... I want to go with you to the spring and release paper kites......" Ying Shiyan said.

"Well, now that spring is thick, it is indeed a good time to put paper kites in spring, arrange someone to do some tomorrow, invite them to play together in a few days, and by the way, we haven't gone out to play for a long time...... Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

"Husband, you ...... You didn't think about anything else......" Ying Shiyan's eyes widened, and a look of extreme surprise appeared on her face.

"What do I think, it's good to go out and fly a kite, and I also want to go for a walk, don't you want to go?" Chen Xu asked confusedly.

"The eighth sister and the ninth sister are all fifteen years old this year......"

"How about fifteen? At the age of fifteen, I can't play or fly a kite......" Chen Xu was even more puzzled.

"Husband, a woman is going to get married at the age of fifteen!" Meng Wan also looked at Chen Xu with tears and laughter.

"What does that have to do with going out to play?"

"Husband, you can't treat a few princesses as little girls, just like Yu Ji, they are all close to you and like you, don't you feel it?" Shui was soft, her face was strange, and she looked at Chen Xu with a slightly melancholy expression.

"Ga~" Chen Xu shook his hand and pulled off two of the few beards on his chin, and at this time he finally understood the words of several wives.

"Husband, you have been in Xianyang for six years, and a group of younger sisters were still underage, but this year, the youngest ten sisters are all thirteen years old, and the sixth and seventh sisters are all married in the first two years, and you still go to give gifts and drink ......" Ying Shiyan said softly.

"Then don't go...... Alas, time flies so fast, I really didn't expect that even Princess Hui Yan would be thirteen years old......"

Chen Xu sighed faintly and leaned back on the back of the chair, thinking of the little princess who often hugged his arm and crawled on his body and shouted to his brother-in-law for a hug, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

The first emperor's ten daughters and sixteen sons are basically adults now, and since the conquest of Chu, no one in Qin Shi Huang's harem concubines has been pregnant, and that was when Qin Shi Huang began to seek immortal immortal immortality, according to Chen Xu's speculation, it must be those Fang Dao warlocks who gave Qin Shi Huang some messy pills that caused problems in the reproductive system, but this kind of thing must be incurable with current medical methods, and Qin Shi Huang did not intend to treat it, so no one has ever mentioned it, However, the concubines in the harem who were fortunate must be full of grievances, but they were helpless.

If history is not forcibly reversed by him, these princesses and princesses and all the royal families will die one after another in a few years.

But at the moment, he should say that he has succeeded, no matter how Daqin develops, there is basically no possibility that the Chu and Han dynasties will lead to the misery of the people in the world, but what is frustrating is that the two little princesses have fallen in love with him.

He really didn't feel so-so on weekdays, and a few princesses came to play in the house at most, and at most they were more intimate with a group of women such as Ying Shi Yan Shui and Gentle, and they were also polite to each other and did not have much communication, but it was impossible for a group of women not to notice it, and now Ying Shi Yan suddenly talked about it, and Chen Xu naturally understood.

But this kind of thing can only be strangled to death, and there can be no other ideas at all.

Marrying a princess is okay and necessary, but marrying two or three, I'm afraid that the emperor will not agree to his own will, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not agree, this kind of behavior of one person occupying a few pits will definitely cause public anger. What's more, he has hundreds of his own wives and concubines, and in the past two years, he has been planning to marry off these older maids and maids, so as not to delay the youth of others, but he has mentioned it a few times with some personal maids, but no one is willing to leave, even if the Hou Ye is not pampered and unwilling to leave the Hou Mansion for the rest of his life, and the crying and begging appearance made Chen Xu himself soft-hearted, and in the end he could only ruthlessly throw it to a few wives to arrange for processing.
