Chapter 914: Calculation
It is difficult to say that the plum tea party held by Princess Yan today was a success, but all the female guests present - except for Madame Xu and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family - left the palace of King Yan quite satisfied.
The gossip they heard at this tea party today was enough to make all of them excited in their hearts and make up countless brains. Although Princess Yan instructed not to spread today's events, she didn't say that they were not allowed to tell their husbands, right?
King Yan actually gave birth to a son who was about to reach the crown with a woman outside, and this news is even more worthy of everyone's attention! That Xiao Xiao showed up in Beiping a few years ago, but later went to the border town in the north to garrison, but he would also return to Beiping from time to time. He also participated in the big battles last year and the beginning of this year, and also killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the heir of King Yan, his father is a hero, and his son is also heroic! No wonder I always saw that King Yan was very close to this Xiao Xiao General in the past, I thought I was appreciating the juniors, but I didn't expect that my father was taking care of his own flesh and blood!
Who does this Xiao Xiao General have a lot of dealings with in Beiping City? He seems to have an estate in the city, right? Where is it? What do you buy and sell? Did he own the property? Do you live in the palace or in your own property now? Who are your closest friends on a daily basis? Are there any people in his own family who have a relationship with him? If there has been a grudge, then in any case, before the news spreads, ask the children to apologize to the future prince of Yan Wang!
It's a pity that General Xiaoxiao's marriage has been decided, Xie Shenzheng of the Political Envoy Department is not easy to mess with, and Princess Yan also seems to like Miss Xie very much, so this marriage can't be decided. Since this is the case, then they can have more contact with Mrs. Xie and strive to form a deeper friendship with her. Xie Shenzheng has four sons and four daughters in his family! I heard that the two eldest daughters have already decided to marry, but what about the rest of the children? If you can marry the daughter of the Xie family, wouldn't you be a brother-in-law with the only son of King Yan?!
However, almost all the officials and relatives who are interested in taking root and developing in Beiping believe that this is an excellent opportunity. After returning home and discussing with their husbands, they must win the marriage of the Xie family! There are many insiders today, there are more monks and less porridge, if you are slow, the opportunity will not wait for anyone!
The governor's wife was the first to leave, but she was much calmer than the others. She had already observed the children of the Xie family, and knew that after Xie Pu and the Wen couple made a marriage contract for the eldest daughter and second daughter, they were not in a hurry to set it for the eldest son and second son, but hoped that the two sons could focus on their studies and imperial examinations. The rest of the children are all concubines, and it is not worth her to start early. Therefore, she plans to find time to have more contact with Wen's family, and after getting acquainted, let the sons of both sides make more friends, and the daughters will also show their faces in front of Wen's a few times. As long as the other party realizes the benefits of his children, it is natural for him to want to kiss in the future.
Even if the two families failed to get married in the end, the sons of the two families became friends, which can be regarded as a good fate. Who said that to make a good relationship with King Yan's in-laws, you must go through marriage? Today, the life experience of the son of King Yan was leaked, and at this time, the family who was in a hurry to marry the Xie family looked too ugly, and there was a suspicion of inflammation. Their family is an old minister of the Qiandi and a feudal official, of course they can't be so unrecognizable! March Chinese
Compared with the calmness of the governor's wife, Mrs. Wan was a little impatient. Before the carriage drove out of the Yan Palace, she began to think in pieces: "I have to go to Mrs. Xie tomorrow to ask what she has talked about with the princess!" No...... It's too late tomorrow, go today! Gotta get ahead of everyone else! It's not early at this time, it's already noon, if I drag it out until the evening, I'm afraid that I will meet Xie Shenzheng, should I just follow the Xie family's carriage and catch up, and I don't even have to enter the house? No...... Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie still have to freshen up and change their clothes after they go home, so I broke into the door so recklessly, Mrs. Xie has a good temper, and she will definitely not be surprised, but her second daughter is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even Mrs. Xu has to bow down in front of her, how can I provoke people......"
Miss Wan and Miss Wan Si glanced at each other. The former asked in a low voice: "Mother, what does it matter if Ming'er goes to Xie's house again?" We are neighbors with the Xie family, which already has an extra layer of convenience than other people's homes. Isn't it just to inquire about the conversation between Mrs. Xie and the princess? There is no difference between knowing earlier and knowing later. She couldn't understand why her mother was so nervous.
Mrs. Wan scolded her eldest daughter and sighed: "At the tea party just now, I heard a few female dependents from the side branch of King Yan's Mansion discussing in private, saying that this General Xiao Xiao, since he is the only heir of King Yan, the princess also said that even the Queen Mother, the emperor and the elders in the clan know it, and there is also his name in the jade, so it is not just an illegitimate child, but the son of a prince who is officially recognized by the royal family and the clan!" This identity is incredible, and he will definitely be the son of King Yan in the future! Although the emperor asked King Yan and his wife not to make this matter public for the time being, the will of canonization will come down sooner or later. In this way, Mrs. Xie's biological daughter was promised to be married to the future prince of King Yan as a wife, and she will be the princess of King Yan in the future! She will also become Princess Yan! With such a distinguished son-in-law, the weight of the Xie family is very different from before! ”
Miss Wan Si couldn't help but question: "Although that person is the only son of King Yan, he doesn't seem to be born to King Yan's concubine, and he can't even be called a concubine!" Can such a person really ask for the title of the prince? In the past dynasties of the Yan kings, there were more than once because there were no concubines, even if there were several concubines, the prince who passed from the capital still became the master of the Yan Palace. This Xiao Xiao General ...... Even if it is recognized by the royal family, what can it do? In the future, at most, it will be a county king, and it may not be a real seal. The county kings in the capital, our family has not seen them, and how many of them are having a good time? Aren't they mostly rich idlers? There is no comparison with the identity of the prince of Yan Wang. ”
Mrs. Wan shook her head: "But this time is different!" King Yan and the emperor are brothers, and now the queen mother is still there! The emperor has always trusted King Yan very much, as long as King Yan has a son, can he still give birth to a step-son to rob his brother's family business?! What's more, the Lin Cao family in Beijing has had accidents one after another, but I am afraid that the status of the crown prince and the second prince will not be guaranteed. There are only three princes and four princes left, and one of them must be canonized as the new prince! If the third prince is really favored by the emperor, will he marry the daughter of the Lan family?
"I just heard someone talk about it, saying that Princess Yan and Xiao Guifei have old grudges, and they are not willing to accept Xiao Guifei's son as their heir no matter what. Therefore, in order to refuse to accept the succession of the three princes, King Yan specially went to Beijing to bring his own son back, and the emperor did not mention the words of succession again. It can be seen that King Yan will definitely try his best to protect his parents and sons. He has just made immortal achievements, and if he asks the emperor for this kind of thing, what reason does the emperor have not to agree? The Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Yongning will also persuade from the side. Don't look at the fact that the emperor has not made an order yet, this matter will sooner or later go according to King Yan's wishes! ”
The Wan family sisters suddenly realized, but they still didn't understand why this incident could make their mother so nervous.
Mrs. Wan touched her little daughter's face lovingly: "Silly child, isn't this obvious? The Xie family is going to be in-laws with Yan Wangfu! Since our family originally intended to marry the Xie family, there is no reason to ask others to rob this beautiful thing now. What is Wan Laosan's cheap seed? The second son of the Xie family is the sibling brother of the second girl Xie, he is a talent at a young age, and he is also handsome, if my son can marry him as his wife, he will be the sister-in-law of Princess Yan in the future. Isn't this worth being nervous about for your mother?! ”
