Not long after Chu Yan and Yan Wu got married, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Pingjianghou, the aunt of the Chu family, went to Danyang to meet Mrs. Ning again; Mrs. Chu came to apologize, while Mrs. Pingjiang Hou proposed to Miss Ning Ba for her young son.

The Pingjiang Marquis Mansion and the Chu family are in-laws, and they are also supporters of Xie Xuan, the king of Jin.

If the eighth girl of Ning marries the prince of the Pingjiang Hou Mansion, not only can she continue to maintain the relationship between the Chu family and the Ning family, but also make the bamboo basket of the Yan family, which deliberately destroys the marriage between the two families, come to naught.

There is some news that Yunyan Pavilion deliberately revealed to the Chu family, and there are also nails of Yunyan Pavilion in the Chu family, and this matter will be done.

As for the Yan family, before they had time to suspect the mastermind behind the scenes, they were shocked by the lively noise outside.

When the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion went to Ningjia Naji, Mrs. Pingjiang Marquis specially let the convoy carrying the sumptuous bride price pass in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, which also attracted many onlookers along the way.

This result naturally made the Yan family dissatisfied, and they wanted to do anything more, but they were helpless.

Later, Ning Ba girl married into the Pingjiang Hou Mansion, but she was in love and harmony with her husband. It's just a pity that the second son of Chu and the fifth girl Yan, the couple who were forcibly tied together, the final result was also miserable; Within half a year of marriage, the second son of Chu died of depression, and the fifth girl of Yan was born prematurely, with one corpse and two lives.

After the death of the fifth girl Yan, the people of the Yan family took the opportunity to stir up trouble and came to the door to say that the Chu family was mean to their daughter, which caused the early death of the fifth girl. And the Chu family actually didn't think about leaving the son of the fifth girl in the womb of Yan Wu at all, although it was Chu Yan's posthumous son, the Chu family would only think that it was the mother and son who killed Chu Yan.

Of course, these things are already a story for later.

The former dynasty has always been uneasy, for example, now, it is boiling again for the long-dormant matter of the rear.

Since the death of Xuan Houxue sixteen years ago, the emperor's eldest son's biological mother, Mrs. Yan, has been acting as the harem power; The lord of the harem has been vacant for many years, and now the courtiers are asking for the canonization of the queen to take the throne.

And the one they asked was Mrs. Yan.

Emperor Cheng Ji thought that the people of the Chu family would not be able to sit still and come out to fight with the people of the Yan family, but the people of the Chu family remained still, as if they meant to let them develop.

"Mrs. Yan is virtuous and virtuous, and is known as virtuous; Since the death of the first queen, she has been in charge of the affairs of the harem, and has raised the king of Qi and Princess Guanghua, but she is in the middle of the palace. A courtier who was in the same breath as the Yan family took the lead.

The rest of the courtiers who are good with Zhenguo Bus also said that Mrs. Yan is indeed the best choice for the queen.

The four princes are all in the column, but they have different expressions and have their own hearts.

Xie Lan had long known that the people of the Yan family would propose the matter of the establishment in the court, so he was not surprised.

And if Zhen Guogong pays attention, he will find that Lord Chu seems to be smiling and not smiling is very weird, as if everything is under control; And the ministers who seconded the proposal were not all ordinary people who were friends with the Yan family, and a few of them were also mixed in for some reason.

Looking at it like this, it seems that both the government and the opposition are seconding the matter of the legislature.

Emperor Chengji never had the idea of establishing a queen, even if the whole country asked for the canonization of the mother of the country, he would not waver; And now that everyone has raised Mrs. Yan as the queen, it will inevitably make Emperor Chengji suspect that the Yan family's henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, and then suspect that Xie Jun, the king of Qi, has formed a party for personal gain in order to seek the throne, which can make the Yan family unfavorable.

In fact, in the final analysis, the Yan family knows more things than the Chu family, but they are just a little lucky, thinking that Emperor Cheng Ji will remember a trace of friendship and let Mrs. Yan ascend to the throne of the queen.

However, Emperor Cheng Ji is also a person who never talks about friendship.

The Yan family is the mother family of the old queen mother, and if they are willing to share in peace, they will have a hundred years of glory; But if they still want to become the mother family of the future Queen Mother, then it is necessary to think about whether the emperor will agree.

After all, from beginning to end, in the eyes of the emperor, Xie Jun, the king of Qi, was taken out by him to use Xie Xuan as a shield.

And Xie Jun and Xie Xuan have been brothers, friends and brothers since childhood, and their relationship is better than that of other princes and princesses. It wasn't until not long ago that because of Xu Zhao's incident, Xie Jun mistakenly thought that Xu Zhao's self-hanging was related to Xie Xuan, so Xie Xuan was a little awkward; It's a pity that Xie Xuan is a child who lacks heart, and he doesn't see any difference between his brother and him at all.

Because the ministers and princes of the court did not discuss it, they all said that Mrs. Yan could be the queen, but there was no fierce controversy.

Emperor Chengji's expression was obviously displeased, but no one in the court dared to look directly at Tianyan, so he didn't notice it.

After retreating from the dynasty, Xie Junzheng, the king of Qi, saw Liang Guogong and went over to pay a visit; Liang Guogong, as the maiden family of Princess Qi, asked after seeing King Qi: "Your Royal Highness has returned from Ningjiang?" ”

"Yes." Xie Jun said.

"I don't know if the princess is okay?" Liang Guogong touched his beard and asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's good to leave." Xie Jun said.

In this way, Liang Guogong smiled and nodded: "Although Ruoli is my niece, I also love her as a daughter." ”

Xie Jun needs the help of the Ji family, so he will inevitably treat Ji Ruoli well; And he also understands that even if there was no Ji Ruoli at that time, there were other famous ladies, in the final analysis, he and Xu Zhao failed to become married, and it had nothing to do with Ji Ruoli, and Ji Ruoli was innocent.

How could he have thought that Ji Ruoli was not here to be a princess of Qi at all.

Xie Jun and Liang Guogong wanted to talk again, but at this time, the internal supervisor next to the emperor came out and said that the emperor had summoned King Qi; Xie Jun had to hurriedly resign from Liang Guogong and enter Hanyuan Palace.

"The son visits his father." Xie Jun was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know why the emperor summoned him at this time.

"Wen Yuan, can this return to Ningjiang go smoothly?" The emperor asked with a rare pleasant face.

"Back to my father, everything is going well." Xie Jun replied.

He took the princess Ji back to Ningjiang, one was to worship the ancestors of the ancestral hall, and the other was to record the Ji family in the jade spectrum, so that it could be regarded as a ceremony.

Emperor Cheng Ji nodded, and then talked about the matter of the establishment of the court: "Your mother Concubine Yan was born in a famous family, and she has been in charge of the harem all these years, and she has no merit and hard work; If according to the rules of the previous dynasty, she is the only one who succeeds her. Just ······" Emperor Cheng Ji sighed again, "The ancestral family law cannot be violated, and our Xie family has been adhering to the family rules since we established ourselves in Ningjiang a hundred years ago. Even if the present is different from the past, we cannot forget our ancestors. ”

Suddenly, hearing Emperor Cheng Ji say this, Xie Jun hurriedly kowtowed: "Erchen is unknown." ”

"On the jade spectrum, only the original spouse of the Xie family can become a wife, and although the stepwife can enter the ancestral hall, she can only be a concubine on the jade spectrum; And the son of the stepwife is on the jade spectrum, and it can only be recorded as a concubine. "Emperor Chengji's eyes were deep and thoughtful," the ancestor once said, if you violate this ancestral teaching, you will be punished. ”

Maybe there is no such precedent in the Central Plains, but this is the ancestral precept that the Xie family has passed down from generation to generation.

Whoever disobeys the teachings of the ancestors will be punished, although he will be punished.
