The day before Xie Yinghui's wedding, Zhu Rui looked at the sky and came to Xie's house.

Now that the situation of the four princes is stable, King Yan and his wife are busy moving Zizhu Courtyard for him and the Queen Mother, and General Xiao Yuan is responsible for the defense of the Forbidden City, and Zhu Rui does not have much time to guard the Queen Mother and the Four Princes, but is more running outside, and is ordered to investigate some things.

This also made it convenient for him to occasionally squeeze out time to visit his fiancée at the Yue's house.

He's pretty straightforward. General Xiao Yuan can also take advantage of the opportunity to defend in the Forbidden City, and almost every day he can meet with the lord of Yongping County, who entered the city to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and talk, as long as he doesn't delay things, why can't he go to see his fiancée?!

On the day of Xie Yinghui's wedding, Zhu Rui had already made an appointment with the Ma brothers to go to Huangyan's house to have a wedding wine together, so even if he was the woman's future brother-in-law, it was not easy to come to the Xie family, so he simply came to visit the Xie family a day in advance, and by the way, he could have a dinner, and naturally he would have enough time to chat with his fiancée after the meal.

Zhu Rui was still thinking about telling his fiancée about his divorce, but Xie Mulin, who was cold, told the news that Miss Wan Si fell in love with the "Four Princes" at first sight, which made him stunned for a while before he reacted.

Zhu Rui also felt very speechless: "Although the Pingchang Marquis Mansion still has some names, his family should not be in the emperor's list of the four princes. The emperor doesn't want to have another prominent and powerful relative, and he will be very cautious about the marriage of the four princes, and he may be more inclined to the noble civil family, which is unknown. Although the Pingchang Marquis Mansion is only mediocre, his family is prosperous, but the good and the bad are mixed, and if something happens to him in the future, it will also smear the face of the four princes. Therefore, whether it is a main concubine or a side concubine, the probability of winning is not great. If Wan Jia really wants to be elected, it's nothing to make up the numbers, but it's best not to make jokes and make the emperor angry. ”

Besides, the son of the second room of the Pingchang Marquis Mansion married the daughter of the confidant of the fourth prince, and he was already regarded as a vassal of the four princes, if he married his daughter to the fourth prince as a side room, how could he guarantee that their family's in-law, Lord Bian, could wholeheartedly plan for the four princes, instead of turning a blind eye to some of the calculations of the Wan family because of his concern for his daughter? If that day really comes, the fourth prince may have to give up Lord Bian. For the sake of a dispensable woman, give up the optimistic cronies and ministers? The fourth prince is not stupid, how can he do this?! He will only feel that the Pingchang Hou Mansion is too greedy and not worthy of his other eyes, and at that time, won't the Pingchang Hou Mansion lose a daughter in vain, but it is still thankless?

Zhu Rui said to Xie Mulin: "Don't worry, I know this matter in my heart, and I will mention it to His Royal Highness." Originally, this matter has nothing to do with us, whether the four girls really fell in love with the people who entered the city at first sight, it is not yet known, and it is not the four highnesses who enter the city. If she really has a heart, she will find an opportunity in the future to let the Xiaolin guards shake in front of her. If she can recognize people, the Fourth Highness may not be able to fulfill her infatuation. ”

Xie Mulin was curious: "Xiaolin guards? Is that the person who dressed up as the Four Princes and rode into the city that day? ”

Zhu Rui nodded: "He is one of the guards arranged by the emperor to the side of the Fourth Highness, he is very good at riding and shooting, and his skills are poor, because of his young age, he is only fifteen years old, and he is not tall, so he can barely pretend to be the Fourth Highness." He was sent to Putuo Mountain before, and he has always served as a stand-in for the Four Highnesses, and he has never been doubted, and he is a very stable and clever young talent. ”

Kobayashi's guards are also behind the gate, and they are innocent, loyal and reliable. If Miss Wan Si can really marry him, it will be her blessing. It's just that Zhu Rui felt that if Xiaolin guards really married such a girl, they would inevitably be a little aggrieved. As one of the confidants and guards of the four princes, he will definitely have a good future in the future, and he will not be able to marry a famous lady at all.

Zhu Rui didn't say much, and Xie Mulin didn't ask much. Anyway, she just said hello to Zhu Rui, lest the four princes be calculated without knowing it. But she still thinks that Mrs. Wan wants to make up her eleven-year-old daughter and the twelve-year-old fourth prince, or is she too frustrated, is this really a sign of love for her daughter?!

Zhu Rui just smiled at this: "Mrs. Wan must not only love her daughter very much, but also think highly of her daughter, right?" That's why she feels that she can think of any kind of son-in-law. "He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he doesn't think it's unusual," the Pyeongchang Marquis couple may not have the same idea. Although the Marquis of Pyeongchang does not have much real power, and he is not a prominent figure in the court, it can be seen that there are many things, and he is still a little clever. Since the emperor intends to appoint the fourth highness as the prince, he will never be confused in the choice of the concubine.

"The marriage of the former prince, he let Empress Cao handle it, and now the elected princess is not worthy of the position; The marriage of the second prince was originally handled by Lin Zhaoyi, but it didn't work out at all; The marriage of the three princes was not the turn of the Lan family, but since the emperor was dissatisfied with the three princes, it was impossible for him to be close to the Xiao family. It can be seen that the emperor knows the affairs of his children and daughters. People who don't care, he may not meddle; But as long as he has the heart to intervene, he will never allow others to go against his own ideas. The emperor has suffered from the calamity of his relatives for a long time, and he will never allow the prince he is optimistic about to suffer the same fate! ”

Xie Mulin doesn't care much about who will become the main concubine and side concubine of the four princes in the future, as long as it is not too unreliable and causes harm to innocent people, then whoever is chosen is the same. What she is more curious about now is that Zhu Rui was reminded of the matter before, and it is said that Zhu Rui has also discussed it with the Queen Mother and King Yan, and sent someone back to the capital, so is there any new development now? Recently, Zhu Rui has been wandering around in and around Beiping City all day long, and I don't know if he has found any traces of spiders and worms?

Zhu Rui hesitated, but still told his fiancée: "I don't know if it's a spider track, anyway, there are a few new merchants who have arrived in Peking recently, and they are a little suspicious." I once asked my father-in-law to help me inquire, and one of these merchants was indeed a son of a salt merchant in Yangzhou, but the others were very good-looking, and even the most well-informed and well-connected shopkeeper under my father-in-law could not recognize where it came from. I suspect they may be the ones who were sent by the man behind the scenes to inquire about the news. It just so happened that they claimed to be medicinal herb merchants, and they had been in the city for the past two days to inquire about the news of medicinal herbs, and the list of medicinal herbs they inquired about was at least seventy percent the same as the ones you bought earlier. ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Such a coincidence? But I have checked the pharmacopoeia of the medicinal materials I am responsible for purchasing, and most of them are not produced in the north. The inventory in Beiping City, Baoding, Tongzhou and other places is very limited. Whose medicinal herb merchant would come here to collect tilapidated medicinal herbs? That's too expensive, isn't it?! ”
