Chapter 174: To marry or not to marry
Last time, Zhou Zheng refused to accept the holy decree and did not ask for the title of the prince, if Yining refused the title of the princess again this time, this is a violation of the decree.
Whether it is the Zongren Mansion, or the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, or even the government and the opposition, as long as there is a little guidance, they will not say that the King of Qin does not know what is good or bad, but will think that the King of Qin harbors evil intentions, despises the emperor, and intends to take the dragon throne.
King Qin waved his hand and told all his staff to retreat.
He was the only one in the huge study.
He pressed his eyebrows and closed his eyes.
The canonization of the princess is imminent, this princess must be canonized, and he can't change it.
Then, there is only Yining's marriage.
A figure flashed through King Qin's mind.
The child was raised by him, he watched him grow up, and he was like a brother and sister to Yining.
If Yining has a marriage contract, and the other party is the Dingguo Mansion, even if the Empress Dowager has the heart to stop it, there is nothing she can do.
But in this way, the Dingguo Mansion was pulled into the water.
How did Xiao Changdun explain to the Empress Dowager the whereabouts of his nephew over the years?
After Xiao Changhou's death, the second lady of the Xiao family was delirious, one day, she ran out of the city with her young son in her arms, and saw Xiao Changhou's head at the city gate, and then she went completely crazy and jumped off the cliff with her son in her arms.
A few days later, the Xiao family found the white bones that had been eaten by wild beasts at the bottom of the cliff.
Later, Mrs. Xiao's maiden family also went to the Dingguo Mansion to make a big fuss, and also went to Dali Temple to beat the drum in front of the door, accusing Xiao Changdun of bullying his brother-in-law and nephew, it was a national funeral, Dali Temple pressed the matter down, it is said that later the Xiao family took 10,000 taels of silver, and Mrs. Xiao's maiden family died down, but since then the two families have become enemies, and they do not get along with each other.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on King Qin's lips, what would the Empress Dowager have if she learned that the child who died under the cliff back then was not dead?
The Empress Dowager and the Yang family may have forgotten Xiao Changhou for a long time.
But he Zhou Huan will not forget that Xiao Changhou is his brother with a different surname, and he is his savior.
Upon hearing the news that his father had been placed under house arrest by the Empress Dowager after he was seriously ill, he left Xi'an with his army.
He wants to break into the palace, he wants to kill the traitor who intends to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes!
At that time, he was not as strong as he is now, and in terms of military strength and financial resources, he was not as good as King Yan.
But he was fearless.
At that time, he didn't know that his father was no longer there, and the capital was like an open pocket, waiting for him and his people to fall into a trap.
The Yang family blocked all the news and placed heavy troops under the Jingji cloth, just waiting for him to step towards the trap.
It wasn't until his spies saw the human head hanging high above the gates of the capital that he sensed the danger.
His good brother Xiao Changhou used his own head to stop him from entering Beijing!
The secret letter to him could not be sent, except for Xiao Changhou's own head, nothing could attract his attention and vigilance, so Xiao Changhou asked his brother to cut off his head with his own hands and send it to the Empress Dowager.
Xiao Changhou's head hung on the gate of the capital for three whole months, until the imperial court finally informed the world of the news of Emperor Taizu's death, and the kings entered the capital to mourn, and the king of Qin saw the head hanging high with his own eyes.
King Qin stood up, he paced back and forth in the room, he regarded Xiao Qi as his own, and he had long had the intention of letting Yining marry Xiao Qi in his heart.
But is it too early?
Once the news of Yining and the seventh son of the Xiao family is spread to the capital, the Xiao family, who has been like an invisible person for ten years, will return to people's field of vision, what will the Empress Dowager and the Yang family do?
King Qin walked out of the study, and the spring outside was bright and full of flowers.
When the two personal attendants saw him come out, they didn't dare to disturb him, and followed silently.
King Qin walked very slowly, his heart was like a galloping horse, he walked aimlessly in the palace, and when he looked up again, he found that he had come to the princess's courtyard.
The princess is long gone, and now it is Yining who lives here.
Yining was not in the yard, and the maid said that she went to play with Miss Shen.
There was a smile on the corner of King Qin's mouth, Yining really likes the children of the Shen family, I only heard that those daughters tried their best to get to Yining's side, but I didn't see Yining take the initiative to find anyone to play.
The children of the Shen family are good, but they are too heavy-minded, but Yining is good with her.
Although he hopes that his daughter will be carefree and rich for a lifetime, he hopes that his daughter can be assertive, courageous and courageous, like Princess Qin, to be a woman who is respected by her husband.
This respect comes not only from her background and identity, but also from her quality and her style of acting.
The chamberlain led King Qin into the main courtyard where Princess Qin lived before her death.
This was once the most familiar place for the King of Qin, and since the death of the Princess of Qin, he rarely came back.
Princess Qin's courtyard has basically not moved, and it is the same as before, the yard is neat and clean, this year's spring in Xi'an is warmer than in previous years, and several peonies in the yard have been in full bloom, purple and red, graceful and luxurious, and radiant, just like Princess Qin.
Princess Qin liked these peonies very much before her death, and once there was a strong wind at night, Princess Qin woke up in the middle of the night, felt sorry for her peonies, and got out of bed in the middle of the night.
At that time, Princess Qin was twenty-eight years old, and she was as delicate as a peony that bloomed for the first time.
Princess Qin had just turned thirty when she left, such a beautiful person, but in the end, the embers withered, and she was skinny.
She misses her two sons alive and dying.
King Qin's vision was blurred, and he still remembered that when Yining was just born, Princess Qin was so happy that she hugged the little person to show him: "It's a little county lord, it's a daughter." ”
may be because she gave birth to three sons in a row, Princess Qin regarded the daughter of this side concubine as her own, Yining was hugged to her side soon after she was born, Concubine Ding was both happy and frightened, and cautiously came to ask if the child's crying would disturb the princess, but the princess told her that this daughter was born to her, and it will always be, this can't be changed, let her put her mind at ease.
Concubine Ding was not favored, and before that, the people in the house did not take this concubine seriously
