Children of ordinary families, if they do not enter the imperial examination, are the majority of them at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and there are many children who have children.

For example, Xie Qingheng, a child of a family with a better future because he wants to enter the office, will be a few years later, not only because he has more choices after his career is smooth, but also because he can choose better women to enter the house.

But even if it is late, he will be married in eighteen or nineteen, and he will get married, and now Mrs. Xie in the house is already looking at Xie Qingheng.

The crown prince is the prince, which is related to the country.

The crown princess is naturally going to be chosen.

Su Ruan thought thoughtfully: "Oh. ”

Xie Qingheng glanced down at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Su Ruan shook his head: "It's nothing, just ask casually." ”

She remembered that the crown princess had not yet been selected when the previous crown prince was assassinated, which meant that it was almost a few months after the prince's accident.

Su Ruan asked curiously, "Can the palace decide on a candidate for the crown princess?" ”

Xie Qingheng shook his head: "Not yet, although the prince is the prince, the situation is a little embarrassing, the queen is not his biological mother, and the queen mother has always had a thorn in his heart for him, and the princess's affairs need the emperor's help to worry about it." ”

"I heard from the people in the East Palace that the emperor originally thought that he had picked someone to settle down a year ago, but who knew what happened to Jingnan, and the emperor was in a mess, so the selection of the crown princess may have to wait until the general election after the year, and it is not clear which ones there are."

Su Ruan listened to Xie Qingheng's words thoughtfully, but didn't ask any more.

The two changed the topic and talked about other things, and when Xie Qingheng pushed Su Ruan into the house, they saw Mrs. Xie and Xie Huan and others who had been waiting inside.

Xie Yuan and Chen had already entered the house as soon as they left, and as soon as Xie Qingheng pushed Su Ruan inside, Xie Huan had already walked over quickly.

"Father, they've all been in for a long time, big brother, why are you walking so slowly, I thought you could get lost in the house."

Xie Qingheng pushed Su Ruan into the room, and after parking the four-wheeled vehicle, he was directly squeezed away by Xie Huan and Xie Jinyun.

Xie Qingheng saw a few people chattering about Su Ruan's well, and he couldn't care about his eldest brother at all, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, before he said to Old Madam Xie: "Ruan Ruan's legs are not good, so the road is slower, and my grandmother has been waiting for a long time." ”

Mrs. Xie had a hosta in her bun, and when she heard the words, she said: "It's nothing, it's good to walk slowly, it's only troublesome if the road is slippery on a snowy day." ”

Xie Jinyun said crisply: "Ruan Ruan, you entered the palace today, did the emperor embarrass you?" You don't know, we and my grandmother are worried about you. ”

Su Ruan smiled and said, "I'm fine, and it went well after entering the palace." ”

She turned to Mrs. Xie: "Grandmother is worried." ”

Old Madam Xie naturally didn't believe Su Ruan's words, and she also knew that after entering the palace, things might not be as simple as she said, but there were a bunch of small ones around the room at this moment, and some things were not easy to ask.

She just said softly:

"It's good if it's going well, as long as this incident is over, you will be safe and sound in the future, and you don't have to worry about hiding your identity because of your father's affairs, and live carefully."

"Did the emperor say how the case would be concluded?"

Xie Yuan hurriedly replied: "Having said that, except for the Bo Xi lineage, who was sent to exile because of his meritorious service, everyone else was executed. ”

When Mrs. Xie heard this, her eyebrows furrowed: "Just executed the people of the Bo family?" ”

Su Ruan knew the meaning of Old Madam Xie's words, and added on the side: "All the people involved in the Jingnan case were severely punished, in addition, the second prince was locked up and confined, and Concubine Yu was stripped of her title and demoted to the position of concubine, and she introspected herself in the cold palace. ”

Mrs. Xie was most concerned about the second prince's side, but she didn't expect that Yuwenyan was involved in the matter of the Bo family's soldiers, and Emperor Ming Xuan actually kept his life, and even the position of the prince was kept for him, just grounded.

She pursed her lips and was a little dissatisfied, but the emperor had already disposed of it like this, and no one could help it, not to mention who dared to come forward to let Emperor Ming Xuan kill his son?

Mrs. Xie said: "It's okay, but in addition to the Bo family, Concubine Yu has entered the cold palace again, although the second prince is still there, now he is just a tiger with his teeth extracted, and he can't make any trouble." ”

"What about your father, did the emperor mention it?"

Su Ruan nodded: "The emperor posthumously crowned my father with the position of loyal and brave uncle, and he will also reward those soldiers who died in vain." ”

"He has sent people to Jingnan to collect the bones of some people, and after the beginning of the year, he will order people to build a martyr's shrine in Jingzhou City to worship the 800 soldiers, so that they can enjoy the incense of the people."

Old Madam Xie was satisfied when she heard this, no matter what, this can be regarded as an explanation to the relatives of those soldiers in Jingnan.

Xie Yuan saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and couldn't help but say:

"Mother, don't worry about Ruan Ruan, although Ruan Ruan has gone through a lot of hardships this time, it can be regarded as a bittersweet end."

"The emperor not only posthumously crowned Ruan Ruan's father, but also crowned Ruan Ruan Ruan's county lord, not only gave her a fief, so that she could enjoy the imperial court, but also inherited her father's position of loyal and brave uncle."

Old Madam Xie was stunned for a moment, and the Wu and Wang clans, who had never spoken next to her, were also wide-eyed.

"Second brother, what do you mean by this, Ruan Ruan is a girl, how can she inherit the title?"

Xie Yuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law misunderstood, it's not Ruan Ruan, but Ruan Ruan's future child." ”

"The emperor promised that no matter whether Ruan Ruan marries someone else or recruits into the government in the future, as long as the first child she gives birth to follows her surname Su, it will be regarded as inheriting her father's bloodline and being able to inherit the title."

When Wang heard this, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

Even the Wu family, who had never cared much about it, couldn't help but glance at Su Ruan more.

That's a loyal and brave uncle, how many people can't get the dignity for several generations of meritorious deeds, the emperor would actually give Su Ruan such a generous gift?

Wang turned his head to look at Su Ruan and said sourly: "The emperor is really generous, with this title in hand, I am afraid that it can be worth any dowry." Ruan Ruan is really lucky, although he has no father, he is not lost to those princesses. ”

Old Madam Xie heard the sourness in Wang's words, and turned her head to look at her: "What are you doing yin and yang?" ”

"Although this title is good, it was also exchanged for Ruan Ruan's life, if you are envious, you can also go and kneel for four hours first."

Wang was reprimanded, and hurriedly shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything, but after Mrs. Xie looked away, she couldn't help but pull the handkerchief and muttered two words about her "eccentricity".

Old Madam Xie had clear ears and eyes, and when she heard it, she only pretended not to hear it, and she said to Su Ruan:

"With this title, no one will dare to look down on you in the future, but there is never a shortage of greedy people in this world, and I am afraid that there will be many wild bees and butterflies at that time, and you will rarely be quiet."
