"And what's going on?" Yao Chuxi was a little unconvinced, "King Zhou Ning is brave and good at fighting, and he only loves Mrs. Zhou Ning Wang in his life, but he doesn't want his youngest son to be so uncompetitive, like his father, he is not like it at all." ”

"I'm not surprised." The emperor then rummaged "His youngest son is not a fuel-efficient lamp when he is young, and he has caused trouble for King Zhou Ning inside and out, and the girl who married this time is the daughter of Viscount Xie Mannian of the Liangzhou Viscount Mansion, and she is considered to be married to his Zhou Ning Wang family, but her father stood up for his daughter when he was wronged, and he is also a master who loves his daughter and can't do dirty things." ”

"Do you have to face up to the same thing? Who do you want to go to? Yao Chuxi asked.

To put it bluntly, this is not a political matter, at most it is a family affair of a courtier, and it is not wrong to make a few small talks.

The emperor smiled, closed the book, and put the book on the lid of the box, "Do you think, who is right about this, and whose family is at fault?" ”

Yao Chuxi really thought about it carefully, and replied, "That must be the fault of the Zhou Ning Palace, after all, it was his youngest son who did something unclean and was not loyal to Viscount Xie's concubine first." But in the final analysis, this matter is not groundbreaking, if there are not so many aristocratic sons and sons to go to the land of fireworks, I want to come to the Red Mansion in Zhangtai and can't go on, so in public and private, the youngest son of King Zhou Ning is wrong first, and Viscount Xie is wrong. ”

"Why do you think Viscount Xie is at fault?" The emperor asked.

"It's right to love your daughter, this is understandable, but the fault is that Viscount Xie's vision is not right, he doesn't see people truthfully, and marries his daughter to such a person, this is a mistake, and the second mistake is that he shouldn't run to Zhouning's palace to make a big fuss after his daughter is wronged, I don't know how many people want to see the joke, it's better to talk about it with a friendly attitude, it is to admit the mistake and leave the house and say, no matter how bad it is, let the subordinates sign the life and death certificate and swear not to leak a word, and go to the top to fight a lawsuit to make it clear, this is also a feasible way, It's better than making a lot of noise, and in the end nothing can be changed. ”

That's true.

It is understandable that the youngest son of King Zhou Ning is fully responsible, but to put it bluntly, it is not a big mistake to go to a place of fireworks, at most it will damage his reputation and live up to his father-in-law's expectations, but if Viscount Xie thinks that this uncle is wrong, then he is really wrong, and he is not adulterated at all.

Isn't it time to discuss how to deal with things like this? Either the Xie family will take a step and see if they will forgive this uncle and let him change his past mistakes in the future, or bite the bullet and let his daughter leave his house, except for these two choices, there is no other way, right?

It's better than making a big fuss, making things worse and worse, and finally the city is full of wind and rain, and they all laugh at the two of them, right?

The emperor's smile was a little approving, and he gently put his arm on Yao Chuxi's shoulder, "If you are a man, you must be a man who can achieve great things." ”

Yao Chuxi didn't say anything, he just felt that it was not good to be a man.

Because when men... I can't meet such a good person as the emperor... will not give birth to such a cute child as the Third Prince and Princess Yunshu.

The emperor may have found a way to divert her attention, and talked about something to relieve her boredom.

"Recently, an imperial merchant who sells salt has the heart to talk to officials about his family, do you think this is not feasible?"

"This..."Yao Chuxi lowered his head and pondered for a while, "The main thing is to see what the official thinks, whether they agree or not, if they don't agree, even if the emperor wants to break the heavens, it's useless." The imperial merchant is no better than the small merchants and hawkers on the street, that is the merchant who sends salt to the palace all the year round, and it can be regarded as a head and face, and he is married to the official's family, which can barely be regarded as a good family. ”

"But I don't think so."

"Why?" Yao Chuxi was puzzled: "Don't you also pay attention to people who are in business right now?" Even if the girl who chose the merchant was selected, how could the official not be able to marry the merchant? ”

"I don't want them to be looked down upon by officials, but if there is such a precedent, then everyone relies on the fact that there are shops on the street, there are fields at home, and they want to marry people with official positions, then isn't this world chaotic?"

The words spoken by the emperor were vague, which made Yao Chuxi a little incomprehensible.

"What do you mean?"

"If a small businessman marries a person with a small official position, it will be fine, but the imperial merchant and the big official can be regarded as a strong alliance, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no thought of wrongdoing, and then there will be a dirty thought in the heart, with one hand to win over the officials and ministers of the court, and the other hand to cut off the circulation of salt, it seems to be a big thing, but in fact it is an important matter, and a good thing can't be taken by all their families, right?"

This made Yao Chuxi barely understand eight or nine points, and the expression on his face was still a little confused.

"If their children truly love each other, then I will not stop them, but if they want to marry officials for no reason, then I will not allow it."

Abnormality is a demon, Yao Chuxi only then heard the profundity of the matter.

There is no * reason, power, fame, fortune and gold and silver wealth all want to be put into their pockets, that is not because they think they are too smart, but because they think the emperor is too stupid.

So how do you know if their children are truly in love? If the two are really happy and are separated by you, how bad it is. ”

As soon as he thought of this kind of thing, Yao Chuxi's heart was not very comfortable. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to demolish a marriage, whether it is true or not, there is always a real possibility, don't sink a boat with a pole.

"This kind of thing can be found out by just looking it up." The emperor doesn't care" Pan Zhen'an has his hands and eyes all over the sky, and it is easy to investigate this kind of thing. Whether the children of the two families have met, how many times have they met, where they are, whether there are actual agreements, tokens, letters, etc., can be found out at a glance. Compared with those who really have feelings, some have never met, and even the names of the other party can be intertwined, and the truth and falsehood can be known at a glance. ”

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy...

Yao Chuxi silently took a sip of tea, only feeling that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and the emperor could sit in this position in front of him, really because he had something extraordinary.

Although it seems that he doesn't know the truth or falsehood, in fact, after a short investigation, he can even judge the truth of what the man said, who can easily deceive the emperor with this matter?

"Then is the imperial merchant sincere or false? Have you investigated? ”

"His daughter is double seven years old this year and is about to get married, and the official's son is over thirty this year, and he is older than me when he is seriously calculated, do you think it is appropriate?"

Square peg! But... It seems to be suitable again...

After all, there used to be a sixty-year-old emperor who favored the seventeen-year-old concubines, and there were no surprises in the world, and people standing in high places would always be haunted by this kind of thing.

It seems that the official's family is also quite powerful.

"I don't dare to say whether the concubine is suitable or not, it mainly depends on whether the two of them like it."

"Pan Zhenan has finished the investigation, a few years ago, the daughter of the imperial merchant unfortunately fell from a horse at the horse club and was rescued by the son of the official's family, maybe the two fell in love with each other like this, and they waited until now to speak." The emperor already knew what was going on, and he knew that he wanted to take the test for Yao Chuxi.

Then he said, "The official was afraid that I would think about it, so he asked the imperial merchant to mention the matter, but I hardly saw them, so he had to convey the matter to Pan Zhen'an, who informed me and then began to investigate, and only after confirming the authenticity, did not give up. ”

Sure enough, the people who served in front of the emperor were all people who were a little more transparent. Undoubtedly, Pan's father-in-law is that kind of person.

Yao Chuxi looked at the emperor and took another sip of tea.

It was snowing outside, but it wasn't big, and the moon was exceptionally round.

Concubine De was in the courtyard of Ningshou Palace, wearing a thick cloak of various colors, holding a hand stove in her hand, looking up to admire the snow and the moon.

"Mother, it's still snowing, let's go in first." Shuyuan persuaded him.

"You go in first." Concubine De touched the snow on her forehead, "This palace is not cold, my mind is a little irritable, the weather is in harmony with me today, so I should relax." ”

After a sigh, Shuyuan returned to the porch, quietly looking at his mother.

The second prince and Princess Yun Cheng were already asleep, and the snow was falling outside the house, but it didn't disturb them at all.

Concubine De stretched out her hand to catch a few snowflakes, but before she could get closer, the snowflakes melted, disappeared without a trace, and became droplets.

Since the birth of the third prince, Concubine De doesn't know how many difficult nights she has spend, and when the snow falls like this, the lack of pity also makes her like it.

After a while, Shuyuan came over and urged, "Niangniang, you will get a cold like this, I heard that several talented people in Houyuan Baolin are sick, if you are sick, how can the slave be good?" ”

"Originally, it was said that he was sick outside the Ningshou Palace, what about true love and fake illness? I also saved my clothes to show the doctor, obviously I was not sick, but I still diagnosed some heart disease. Concubine De's tone was as gentle and generous as usual, but at this time it was all about "What's the matter, now I don't even give the palace a chance to enjoy the snow?" ”

The snow gradually became heavier, and the thick snow was piled on Concubine De's shoulders, and Shuyuan had to follow beside her, carefully cleaning the falling snow for Concubine De.

"This year, since Yao Shunrong became pregnant and gave birth, there have been continuous dead people in the palace, which is really unlucky, and even the snow is less than in previous years." Concubine De said to herself, "It's just a matter of others, I heard that there was a child in the back garden who grew up with Yao Shunrong, and they were all sent to prison, which shows that she is a ruthless and unlucky master." ”

Shuyuan thought to himself, 'That's right, my own mother is like this, and it's because of the one in the Zhaoxi Palace.' ’

She could only listen quietly, and she didn't answer or ask questions, as if she wasn't alone.

First Luo Meiren, then Concubine Qing and Lin Jieyu, these three princes almost died, and the girls in the back garden were also imprisoned, and each of them was inseparable from Yao Shunrong's sons.

But no one wants to believe that it has always been this Yao Shunrong who has suffered losses, but they all choose to believe that these people are all because they have never fought Yao Chuxi, and they are all caused by Yao Chuxi's ruthlessness.
