After Xie Mulin returned to the ship, how to reassure his sisters and make them believe that they had just gone shopping for a while after being a normal guest, and not meeting some foreign man in private, was completely a matter of familiarity. It wasn't much of a problem for her.

But after Xiao Rui returned to the ship, he needed to think carefully about what he should say, organize his speech, and dare to meet Aunt Li and tell her about the recent small changes in the capital.

Not surprisingly, Aunt Li heard that the emperor repented and didn't want her eldest lady Xiao Mingzhu to be buried in the name of the innocent Concubine Yan and the biological mother of King Yan's only son, but was considering posthumously sealing her as an official concubine, and immediately turned red with anger, and her hands were trembling: "What does he mean by this?" What does he mean by that?! The eldest lady because of him, her life is gone, her reputation is gone, and even her brother wants to pay tribute to her every year, but she only dares to come quietly, and now she can finally get her name right, even the queen mother has agreed, and the elders in the clan have also recognized, and even the incense behind him has been guaranteed, but he suddenly came to such a trick, to completely bury the reputation of the eldest lady, and cause her to be laughed and scolded by countless people for generations? ! Where is the eldest lady sorry for him?! Why did he treat her like this?! ”

Angry to the extreme, Aunt Li coughed violently. Xiao Rui didn't expect her to be more excited than she expected, and she was already a little annoyed in her heart, but she immediately became nervous when she saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back. Seeing this, the ancient lady who was full of anger on the side also helped pour the tea.

When Aunt Li was trying to make herself breathless, Gu Niangzi asked Xiao Rui worriedly: "What can I do about this?" If the emperor really issued an order to posthumously seal the title, what should you do with your background? Do you want to ask the Zongren Mansion to quietly change it again? But I've already told them before, even if the jade is changed, they don't know the truth, and they will chew their tongues in private, right? Or ......" she paused, "just push the boat down the river, saying that you are actually the son of the eldest lady born to the emperor, and King Yan recognizes it, in fact, he is the heir of the prince?" In this way, things will make sense, and others will not look down on the eldest lady......"

"Why change?!" Aunt Li gasped and sneered, "When the Queen Mother summoned the elders of the clan and asked them to witness King Yan's recognition of his son, the emperor didn't say anything. has already clearly remembered that he is the son of King Yan, how can he ask the emperor to take advantage of this? No way! The kind of father on the stall, whoever is the son of the emperor is unlucky! Our brother Rui didn't touch this mold! There is no reason why he does not go on the broad road now, but he is at the mercy of a confused and faint king! ”

Gu Niangzi was taken aback, walked carefully to the door of the cabin, opened the door and looked out, to make sure that no one heard Aunt Li's words that were suspected of being rebellious, so she closed the door again with confidence, walked up to Aunt Li and whispered angrily: "You speak quietly!" There are more outsiders on this ship, if you ask others to listen, you will find a small matter of death by yourself, don't make trouble for the master! ”

Aunt Li sneered, but she didn't continue to scold, she only stared at the front with hatred, as if the emperor was standing there.

Xiao Rui secretly wiped his sweat, only to feel that his aunt's idea was really wrong, and the ancient lady and the aunt were mixed up day by day, as if they were also confused. Can she say those words? Why did he simply become a prince, but he just went to Yanwang's Mansion as a successor. He is the biological son of King Yan, if he is falsely claimed to be the prince, what does his father think? King Yan had already suffered great humiliation because his stepmother Xiao Mingzhu fell in love with the emperor back then, how could he be wronged again?

Xiao Rui said to Aunt Li and Gu Niangzi: "Aunt and Gu Niangzi don't think nonsense. My father already knew about this matter, and he had already thought of solving it. Besides, there is still the Queen Mother in the palace, and the Queen Mother will not let her father be stigmatized, and she will definitely find a way to persuade the emperor to change his mind and posthumously crown his stepmother as his father's concubine as originally agreed. After all, the emperor still attaches more importance to his own virtuous name, even if he is shaken by Lin Zhaoyi's words for a while, he will choose the right approach. Auntie, don't be angry, if you get angry, your body will not be good. ”

"I'm fine." Aunt Li sneered, "I haven't seen the eldest lady's reputation restored, the incense has been continued, and I haven't seen that bastard faint gentleman give up and harm the eldest lady, how can I let my body have trouble?" If I can't make it to the end and make sure with my own eyes that the faint gentleman didn't hurt the eldest lady's name during his lifetime, I will definitely die! ”

The plan succeeded, but Xiao Rui's heart was a little uncomfortable. His biological son can't rekindle his biological mother's interest in life, but can his stepmother Xiao Mingzhu, who has been dead for 18 years? Although Aunt Li can regain her spirits, he is very happy, but he knows that he is not as important as his stepmother in his mother's heart, and this happy feeling also reveals a bitterness that cannot be ignored.

Aunt Li didn't notice the wry smile on her son's face, and continued to sneer and mock: "The eldest lady has been gone for so many years, and the Cao family has not passed on bad things about her in private, but the emperor pretended not to know at all, and let the reputation of the eldest lady be ruined behind her. Obviously, as long as the eldest lady is posthumously crowned with the title of a concubine, it can be solved...... Even if Cao Hou was powerful in the past, he didn't dare to act rashly, so after the Cao family lost its military power, what could it not do?! The living concubine, the concubine who gave birth to the prince, there are three in his harem! Empress Cao didn't have anything to do with them. But the emperor still didn't mention the words of posthumous sealing...... What if someone would say that his brother took his brother's wife?

"King Yan has been marrying a wife for so many years, as long as King Yan doesn't say it, others are just chewing their tongues! He would rather let the eldest lady be gossiped about than have his reputation tarnished in the slightest. Such a person...... What do you say affectionate?! The Lin family is not a good person, and he is not at ease when he makes this kind of suggestion, it is nothing more than wanting to respond to Empress Cao and the concubine. But the emperor will be shaken, and it will definitely not be because he cares about the old feelings...... He just didn't want his woman to become the concubine of King Yan! ”

That man has always been like this...... He is such a selfish person who does not care about the lives of others. Her eldest lady was really deceived so miserably, she actually gave up a good marriage for such a bastard thing, left the child dead at a young age, and continued to be wronged after death, and the lover she believed in refused to even give her justice!

Aunt Li gritted her teeth and held Xiao Rui's wrist tightly: "If there is any news in the capital in the future, you must tell me immediately, and there must be no concealment!" I have to know what that man did to the eldest lady! And also...... The emperor is most optimistic about the four princes now, isn't he? I know that Yan Wangfu has always been close to the four princes and gets along well. You also have to get along with the fourth prince in the future, and you want to become a good brother with him closer than the third prince! When the faint monarch dies and the new emperor succeeds to the throne, you ask him to move the eldest lady's body out of the imperial mausoleum, and you must not let that bastard continue to respond to her after her death! ”
