When Old Madam Xie heard the name Qi Wen Mansion, she was also surprised, and looked at Xie Yuan: "When did you have a relationship with Qi Wen Mansion?" ”

Xie Yuan shook his head and frowned, "My son is not familiar with him. ”

It's not that I'm unfamiliar, it's that I haven't been around at all.

That Qi Wenfu said that it was good to say that it was cold, but if it was not good, it was a stone in the pit, who hurt when he hit him, even the emperor sometimes had nothing to do with him, what did he do when he came to visit him in a good manner?

Xie Yuan looked at Xie Qingheng: "Did he say what he came to do?" ”

Xie Qingheng shook his head, and joked with Pei Geng and them before, and after being heard by Qi Wenfu, he casually excused himself, but Qi Wenfu said what should be done, and then continued: "I don't know why Qi Sacrifice Wine came over, father, will he have something to do?" ”

Xie Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If it is really according to what you said, he should not casually agree if he wants to come, no matter what, since he has already said that he wants to come, he can't turn people away." ”

"Mother, I'm going to trouble you tomorrow."

Old Madam Xie nodded: "I will order to go down and let the people in the mansion prepare everything." ”

After speaking, she looked at Xie Qingheng and said, "Do you want to go back to China later?" ”

Xie Qingheng had told Mrs. Xie that he wanted to move to Guozijian before the Chen family entered the mansion, and when he heard Mrs. Xie mention it, Su Ruan's face instantly appeared in his mind.

He pursed his lower lip and said in a low voice: "It's too late today, so I won't go, and there is a small test recently, which should be set up by the emperor to choose a companion for His Royal Highness the Prince, I want to discuss this matter with my father and grandmother." ”

Xie Yuan's face changed slightly: "Little test? When? ”

"Ten days later."

"How did you know that?"

Xie Qingheng said: "I didn't know before, I just thought it was an ordinary test, but then Qi sacrificed a few words, and Ah Tang and I guessed it." ”

"Father, grandmother, although this matter has not yet been determined, according to the meaning of Qi Sacrifice Wine, it is said that the first three examination papers of the small examination will be sent to the emperor in the palace to read in person, and he also said that this is an opportunity, let us try to seize it, I think this matter should be eight or nine or ten."

"I'm coming back today, first, to tell you about the coming of Qi Sacrifice Wine, and second, I want to ask your opinions."

"This prince reads with you, am I going or not going?"

Xie Qingheng said very surely, just asking if he would go, not if he would do it.

Xie Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, according to his meaning, he didn't want Xie Qingheng to be the prince's companion.

The prince's companion reading seems to be glamorous, and he is very close to the prince, and after the prince ascends the throne in the future, most of these companions will become his close ministers to be reused, but who can say clearly what will happen in the future.

The emperor is now in the prime of life, and the prince has just turned fifteen, and it will take several years to ascend the throne, the key is that the current queen is not the biological mother of the prince, the first queen has been dead for many years, and the current queen has her own parent.

If......

It's not that Xie Yuan is too careful, but the four princes under the queen's knees are two years older than the crown prince, and there are a big prince and a third prince on it.

There have always been complicated disputes in the royal family, and no one can say what will happen in the future.

At that time, if there is any case, the people close to the prince will be the first to be unlucky.

Xie Qingheng's talent and martial arts are considered to be the top part of the current Guozijian prisoners, even if he later took the path of martial arts and literary examinations, or was recommended to enter the office, after inheriting the title of Marquis of Xuanping in the future, his road will be farther than that of the prince.

But......

Xie Yuan looked at Old Madam Xie and said in a low voice, "Mother, what do you think?" ”

Old Madam Xie looked at him: "You don't want Qing Heng to go?" ”

Xie Yuan nodded: "Qing Heng will inherit the title of Marquis of Xuanping in the future, there is no need to go to the prince's side, not to mention that he will be able to participate in the martial arts next year, and then he will be able to follow my path and join the army and politics." ”

"Then have you ever thought about the emperor?"

Old Madam Xie looked at Xie Yuan: "If the emperor really intends to choose a companion for the prince in the Guozijian, then he must also know about Qing Heng's situation, if Qing Heng does something to deliberately lower the test in the small exam, then what will the emperor think?" ”

Xie Yuan's eyes were dark for a while, and he opened his mouth just to speak.

Mother Liu's surprised voice suddenly came from the door.

"Little Miss?"

The three people in the room were all slightly stunned, and the next moment they looked out of the door, and saw Su Ruan, who was wearing plain clothes, standing beside her when Mother Liu opened the warm curtain.

Seeing that the eyes of the three of them fell on him, Su Ruan did not panic, but said seriously:

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, and I didn't know that the Hou Ye and the eldest prince were here, I just wanted to come over and tell my grandmother, the day after tomorrow is the day of filial piety, and then I want to hold a sacrifice in the courtyard, for fear that I will collide with my grandmother."

"When I came, Mother Liu was not there, and there was no one guarding the door."

Mother Liu hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to fetch bird's nest porridge for the old lady, and clearly let Cailian guard here, and the girl was lazy." ”

Old Madam Xie waved her hand, stopped Mother Liu's lesson, and beckoned to Su Ruan: "Ruan Ruan, come here." ”

Su Ruan was afraid that Old Madam Xie would misunderstand her eavesdropping on the corner of the wall, so she raised it slightly in her heart, and when she saw her smile towards her as usual, she walked to Old Madam Xie with a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry grandmother." ”

Old Madam Xie said: "What is there to be sorry for, it is not a big matter, I heard it, but since you heard it, do you think your eldest brother should go or not?" ”

Xie Yuan was slightly stunned, and some disagreed: "Mother ......"

How could Old Madam Xie use this to tell Su Ruan's child?

Old Madam Xie glanced at him and ignored him, looked at Su Ruan and said, "Your eldest brother is facing a dilemma now, entering, may block the future and cause trouble, retreat, but it may make the emperor dissatisfied with him." ”

"What do you think would have happened if it were you?"

Su Ruan didn't expect Old Madam Xie to ask her.

She looked up at Old Madam Xie, and seeing her smiling at herself, Su Ruan thought about it and said directly: "If you can't advance or retreat, then you won't advance or retreat." ”

Old Madam Xie raised her eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

Su Ruan stood beside her and said, "I just listened to the meaning of the Hou Ye, because I didn't want the eldest brother to be the prince's companion, but I was worried that the emperor would think that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion did not know how to raise the throne and was unwilling to assist the prince, so I had other thoughts. ”

"Then it's good that the emperor doesn't have this idea."

"The eldest brother is outstanding in civil and military affairs, so he doesn't need the identity of this companion to be inlaid with gold, but not everyone in the prison of that country is as good as the eldest brother."

"As long as the emperor feels that the eldest brother wants to be loyal to the prince, but he can't accompany him due to the situation, he can only choose other ways to be loyal to the royal family, and the emperor will not blame the eldest brother for being involuntarily."
