Chapter 334: Behind Us

The children of the Wen family are much more promising, but Wen Bai can still be regarded as the best among them.

Wen Bai's wife, who died early due to an accident, was also carefully selected by the second elder of the Wen family for Wen Bai. is not only noble, gentle and virtuous, but unfortunately his life is thin, and he didn't have time to give birth to a son and a half daughter to Wen Bai, so he had to go early.

Wen Bai is the eldest son in the family, and the second elder of the Wen family originally intended to let Wen Bai remarry Wen Bai after a hundred days of filial piety.

Unexpectedly, Wen Bai insisted on keeping filial piety for his wife for three years, Wen Bai always had the right idea, and in the end, his family had to obey his wishes.

When the filial piety period was about to expire, many families took various opportunities to come to the door to inquire about Winber's future marriage.

Together with the crown princess, there was a lot of excitement, and even the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongshou walked the door of the concubine of Emperor Liu, and came to inquire.

The Wen family was only worried that they didn't know which lady to choose, but they knew that Wen Bai was getting closer and closer to Princess Nan'an, who had been with the concubine in the early years.

Several times in a row, Wen Bai was seen in and out of Princess Nan'an's mansion.

The crown princess Wen and her mother's mother suddenly panicked, Wen Bai was out, but Princess Nan'an had not only been married once, but also had an eight- or nine-year-old daughter under her knees, and she was really not a good match in the eyes of the Wen family.

When Wen saw Xiao Yu asking her, she couldn't help but think in her heart.

Although in the past few years, Princess Nan'an's temperament has been somewhat restrained, but in the early years, Princess Nan'an and Xiao Yu's sister Princess Zhaoyue had been at odds for many years.

Wen Bai is not only her brother, but also a close minister who has served the prince for many years, and Wen thinks that maybe the prince will not want this marriage either.

This matter is now told by her mother-in-law, Concubine Liuhuang, who came forward to talk to herself, and it is difficult for her to refuse, but if Xiao Yu is willing to come forward to make peace, there may be some room for this marriage to turn around.

Thinking of this, Wen slowly exhaled a breath and told Xiao Yu the origin of the whole thing clearly.

"Your Highness, do you think this marriage is feasible?" Wen said, carefully looked at Xiao Yu's face, and asked with a guess.

Xiao Yu listened to Wen's words, but there was not even a trace of surprise on his face.

Wen was smart and reacted immediately.

Wen Bai and Xiao Yu are of the same age, and the two have known each other for many years when Wen has never married Xiao Yu.

When Emperor Chu let go of his hand and asked Xiao Yu, who had just become an adult, to build a team around him, Xiao Yu personally selected Wen Bai. Not to mention, he later married Xiao Yu, and the relationship between Xiao Yu and Wen Bai became closer and closer.

Thinking about it, Wen Bai had already told Xiao Yu about his relationship with Princess Nan'an.

"He is your brother, what do you Wen family think?" Xiao Yu didn't answer Wen's question, but asked with a smile.

"My brother's personality and temperament, His Highness understands." Wen looked at Xiao Yu's eyes and carefully organized his words. "The princess is the eldest daughter of His Majesty, so she is naturally noble. I'm afraid that my brother is a little more arrogant and not suitable to be a colt. ”

"My father has always been a fair person, except for the marriage of our princes, the marriage of the two princesses, Nan'an and Zhaoyue, my father has personally consulted their opinions. The marriage between Wen Bai and Nan'an was brokered by Zhaoyue, and his father also asked Nan'an's meaning. ”

Wen Bai is the elder brother of the Wen family and the crown princess, although Emperor Chu agreed that Emperor Liu would come forward to inform the crown princess of the matter, and also asked Wu Chuan to invite Xiao Yu to Lingyun Hall to inform the matter.

But Wen Bai had already told Xiao Yu about himself and Xiao Lu.

And the crown princess listened to Xiao Yu's words, and became more and more powerless.

Princess Zhaoyue is Xiao Yu's sister and Emperor Chu's favorite child.

If he and the Wen family continue to oppose this marriage, they are afraid that they will offend Princess Zhaoyue. If Princess Zhaoyue has an opinion about herself, she is afraid that it will affect her status in the East Palace in the future.

You must know that now Xiao Yu not only has children under his knees, but also more than one princess like himself by Xiao Yu's side.

"I know your concerns." After seeing Wen's expression darkened, the prince took the initiative to hold Wen's hand and said. "Nan'an did have something wrong when she was young, but she has also changed a lot, just looking at her and Zhaoyue over the years, they have gotten closer and closer. Isn't it better that the marriage can go well, Wen Bai and Nan'an get married as soon as possible, and the relationship between the husband and wife can be better for the future heirs. Sister Rou'er has a more docile temperament, and in a few years, she will reach the age when she should get married, and she is not worried that she and Wen Bai will get along badly. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wen's mind had already turned around quickly.

"Fang Cai's concubine thought badly." Wen figured it out, so he slowly leaned over Xiao Yu's body softly. "If my brother can get married by His Majesty and become the concubine of Princess Nan'an, it will also be the glory of our Wen family."

"Well, it's best if you think so." Xiao Yu said with a smile, and raised his hand to hug Wen's. "Such a happy event, you can prepare a big gift for me when you go back."

"Then Your Highness will stay here for dinner today, okay?" Wen leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder and asked softly.

Wen is the crown princess, and she has already had a son and a daughter under her knees.

However, the two side concubines beside Xiao Yu were also carefully selected for Xiao Yu by Emperor Liu's concubine and Emperor Chu, and their background and appearance were not much inferior to her.

The Wen family is a Wenchen background, and the Wen family is a girl from the Wen family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As Xiao Yu's main room, Wen can not only be in harmony with Xiao Yu's poems and books, but also accompany Xiao Yu to say a few words in political affairs.

But one of the two side concubines is good at dancing and the other is from a military general's family, and they are also quite favored by Xiao Yu.

After the Wen family gave birth to children one after another and stabilized their status, the two side concubines also became pregnant one after another.

Jokhang has never been divided into concubines and concubines, and even Xiao Yu, the crown prince, is only a concubine.

Wen thought about the final fate of the Zhaoyang Palace, and Wen couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the two side concubines in the East Palace.

Among them, one of the concubines Shen was also lucky, and she was diagnosed with a three-month pregnancy before the queen died, during this time she was always unwell, and Xiao Yu was hovering over Concubine Shen for several days.

It was rare for Xiao Yu to come here today, and Wen thought to himself that if he couldn't keep Xiao Yu in his palace today, he was afraid that the wind direction in the East Palace would change tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll accompany you today." Xiao Yu knew Wen's calculations in his heart, and responded to Wen's retention along the way.

In the years that Wen has been married to her, she has acted generously and moderately, not only taking care of everything inside and outside the house, but also giving birth to several smart and sensible children for herself.

Xiao Yu's favor for the two side concubines actually did not affect the status of the Wen family, and he and the eldest son of the Wen family, King Yujun, was his most valued son. However, Xiao Yu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he probably understood Wen's worries.

"It just so happens that the children haven't seen His Highness for a few days." Seeing that Wen had succeeded in leaving Xiao Yu, his smile became even brighter. "It's time for them to get out of school, I'll call the children."

Wen called all his children over, Xiao Yu called the boys to ask them about their homework, the girls also asked about their daily life, and the father and son said for a while.

The family had dinner happily, and Xiao Yu rested in Wen's hall in the evening.

Wen's tone changed, and soon the marriage was happily finalized, just because the queen who died soon was Xiao Lu's mother-in-law, and Emperor Chu decreed that the marriage date of Xiao Lu and Wen Bai would be three years later.

Three years later, Xiao Lu and Wen Bai got married.

After marriage, Xiao Lu and Wen Bai had a harmonious relationship, Xiao Lu soon became pregnant, and after October, Xiao Lu gave birth safely and gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Because it has been three years since the death of Empress Xianduan, some courtiers asked Emperor Chu to set up another successor.

Xiao Xuan heard about this from Duan Shaolan's mouth, and couldn't help but ask when she took Sister Su into the palace one day to ask Concubine Liu for peace.

"Mother, I heard that my father refused to set up another successor in the palace." Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Liu's breezy appearance, and said with great confusion in her heart.

"Well, yes." Concubine Liu had a comfortable life, and her face was already beautiful, at this time, she watched Sister Su playing in the courtyard of Yihua Palace, and turned her head to Xiao Xuan and asked. "You don't have to worry about me, with my current status in the palace, it doesn't matter to me if I don't have this queen."

Emperor Liu's words are true, Emperor Chu does not succeed her, Emperor Liuhuang is still the highest-ranking concubine in Emperor Chu's harem, and her favor has endured for years, not to mention that her eldest son Xiao Yu is still the crown prince.

"But only when I become a queen can I have the opportunity to be buried with my father in the future." Xiao Xuan asked. "Does the mother really not care about this?"

What Xiao Xuan thought in her heart was that even if the mother concubine was the imperial concubine, even if the concubines in the harem respected her, she would be a head lower than the queen after all.

"Silly boy, that's all after people die." Concubine Liu said with a chuckle. "I don't believe in the afterlife, I don't believe in the afterlife, I just take care of the present life. In the life of the mother concubine, from the side concubine to the imperial concubine, and you children, there are no regrets for a long time. I really didn't take the queen's seat to heart. ”

Concubine Liu looked at Xiao Xuan in front of her and couldn't help but think back to the old years.

Once upon a time, she entered the palace as a young man and became the side concubine of Emperor Chu, and succumbed to the former queen Duan. At that time, she relied on her spirit, and it was not until she became pregnant with Xiao Yu that she gradually softened her heart.

After living in the palace for so many years, she has long learned the truth of gains and losses.

After another year, Emperor Chu lingered for a long time, so he announced his abdication, and the crown prince Xiao Yu successfully ascended the throne.

Not long after Emperor Chu became the emperor, he moved to the Hunting Palace with Emperor Liu's concubine.
