Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Qi said, "I know what you're worried about. Let me tell you, Little Five is different. The kid was simple-minded, and had no other ideas than to fiddle with some tricks. ”

"You think he doesn't have an idea, but others don't necessarily think so." Kang Shilin said, "It turned out that several things happened to Zhiwei's girl were all related to resentment. If she learns that she is going to marry King Qi, some people are not good at dealing with King Qi, will they turn their heads to deal with her? She is now in Nanyang, and there are several nursing homes around her, and she can deal with ordinary people. In the face of masters, it is not enough to see at all. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi's expression was staggered.

The few troubles that Zhao Ruxi encountered were all related to the royal family, either the stupid things done by the prince's family, or the hands of the concubine's mother and daughter. In the final analysis, it is that he is not strict in governing his family.

Kang Shilin continued: "Zhiwei is different from other princesses. Those princesses are all from big families, and they are protected by the power of big families, and those who don't want her to become princesses are not easy to deal with them. Suiping Bofu has no power, and now the family is still scattered in two places, and her mother is the only one by Zhiwei's side. If anyone wants to deal with her, let alone take her life, as long as she ruins her reputation, she will only die. ”

Kang Shilin looked at Xiao Qi: "So, it's not that I don't want her to marry Xiao Wu, but I can't." I'm almost old, Your Majesty, can you bear to let me watch my beloved little apprentice go to a dead end? If you can't promise me in terms of safety, even if you fight so that you won't see me again, I can't agree to this family business. ”

The uncle and nephew have been together for half their lives, and they both know each other's personalities.

Xiao Qi began to listen to Kang Shilin's words, thinking that Kang Shilin was going to refuse his family's affairs. But when I heard him put forward a precondition instead of blocking the road, I knew that there was room for discussion in this matter.

He hurriedly said: "Uncle Cousin, don't worry, I will beat those few evil obstacles and those people in the palace." In addition, I will send a few more imperial guards to Zhao Zhiwei. No matter what happened to Zhao Zhiwei, I only asked those people and the imperial guards. ”

Hearing this, Kang Shilin was satisfied.

The emperor clearly sent the imperial guards to guard Zhao Zhiwei, that is, to tell everyone in the world that Zhao Zhiwei was covered by him. Any intrusive little actions towards Zhao Zhiwei are all in his eyes, and those who have the courage to come.

Originally, Xiao Lingyan was not the main force to win the heir, and his fiancée was not either. If Zhao Ruxi is weak and looks very easy to bully, bullying her will not have any bad consequences, but it can also add to the blockage of the second and fifth princes, and those people will naturally do it.

But once it is found that the benefits of this matter are too small and the risks are too great, and if you do it, the emperor will directly kick him out of the list of candidates for the heir, then it is really a fool to do this.

He stood up and waved at Xiao Qi: "I thank the emperor for his grace on behalf of Zhiwei." ”

Xiao Qi hurriedly helped him up personally.

Pressing Kang Shilin's shoulder to let him sit down, Xiao Qi returned to his position and asked, "Then ...... this family business?"

"If the emperor can do this, I don't have any opinion here." Kang Shilin finally relented, "I also have a lot of daughters and granddaughters under my knees, but the only one I like the most is Zhao Zhiwei." That child was intelligent, transparent, spiritual, good-natured, considerate, and couldn't have been more filial to me. My old man doesn't ask for anything else, just a little, let Xiao Wu treat Zhiwei girl well, don't let her down. ”

Xiao Qi nodded: "Don't worry." Why did he marry when he was eighteen years old? It's because he said he wanted to marry a wife who was completely suitable. He was unwilling to make do with it, and then take a courtyard of concubines. He said that there are too many women and too many troubles, so he would rather marry only one he likes and live a good life. Hearing him say this, I didn't force him, and let him delay until now. ”

At this point, Xiao Qi can understand his son very well.

He has doted on Concubine Jin for more than ten years, not because he loves Concubine Jin deeply-although Concubine Jin's temperament is quite pleasing to him, and he feels quite relaxed and happy with her. But if you want to say that you love it, you don't necessarily have to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said let it go.

The bigger reason is that he is a person who likes to be quiet, and he doesn't like many women in the backyard to be jealous of him, and he will feel very tired.

So when Xiao Lingyan sincerely said to him that he was unwilling to make do with the marriage and wanted to find a woman who wanted to stay with him for life, Xiao Lingyan felt more and more that this son was like himself. Therefore, he would rather resist the pressure of the courtiers, but also maintain his heart, and is not willing to force him.

When Kang Shilin heard this, his reluctance in his heart was a little less, he was defeated by reality, and the depression of not being able to find a perfect husband for the little apprentice also dissipated a lot.

Xiao Qi felt that he was not sincere enough to say these words by himself, so he raised his head and instructed the little eunuch: "Go and see if King Qi is in the palace?" If so, call him. ”

The little eunuch agreed, and went to pass the word. After a while, he brought Xiao Lingyan over.

After Xiao Lingyan discussed with Zhao Ruxi, he calculated the time to enter Beijing. After entering Beijing, he went back to the Qi palace to take a bath, and heard that Mr. Deadwood had been summoned to the palace, so he quickly entered the palace as well.

When Xiao Qi learned about it, he laughed and said, "But it's a coincidence." Come, come and tell your cousin that if you marry Zhao Zhiwei, how to treat her well in the future. ”

Xiao Lingyan knew that her chance to perform had arrived, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Cousin, if you are willing to give me Miss Zhiwei, I am willing to be good to her for the rest of my life, not to take concubines, not to be bound to her, and let her do what she wants." ”

After a pause, he said, "I also told Miss Zhiwei these words. ”

Kang Shilin glanced at him: "When I got married, many people said similar things and even made vows. But in the end, the original vows and alliances have become vain, and those who should be disappointed will still be disappointed. ”

Xiao Lingyan scratched his head: "Then what should I do, so that my cousin is willing to believe me?" ”

Kang Shilin waved his hand: "It's useless if I don't believe it now, you have to remember what you just said, and be good to Zhiwei for the rest of your life." ”

Xiao Lingyan nodded vigorously: "I will." ”

Although Xiao Lingyan didn't say too much rhetoric, Kang Shilin could also see the sincerity in his heart.

He didn't go around the bend, and said to Xiao Qi: "After Xiao Wu left Nanyang, Zhiwei couldn't make up his mind, and he also sent someone to the capital to ask me what I meant. I read her letter, and she was also moved by Xiao Wu's sincerity and was willing to entrust her for life. And with the love and trust of Suipingbo and the old lady for Zhiwei, as long as she is willing, she will not block this family business. In this case, I will now be the master of the Suiping Bofu to agree to this family business. ”
