CHAPTER XXXV

Because the injuries on Xiaoshuang's body need time to heal, and they don't plan to do it immediately, after all, when they encounter such a thing, the hurdle in Xiaoshuang's heart also needs time to cross.

The two discussed, and after Su Yong received the punishment completely, Xiaoshuang also let go of the knot in her heart, and then happily got married. Therefore, the matter of marriage has been put on hold for the time being.

However, Xiao Han also asked Liu Xing to pay more attention, and if they were in need, they could draw someone from the county lord's mansion to help them handle the wedding.

Xiaoshuang's matter has come to an end for the time being, and as for Su Yong, he has been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. He was involved in more than just Xiaoshuang's case, in the past few years, many women from good families have been forcibly accepted by him as concubines, and some have even died of incense.

The Criminal Department was forced by the emperor's order not to slack off, and stepped up the investigation of other cases involving Su Yong, if nothing else, Su Yong could not escape death.

Xiao Han knew in her heart that she and the Su family's Liangzi had already been married. However, thinking of the relationship between the Su family and the Xie family, Xiao Han didn't care much about it, it was a matter of time before she and the Su family turned their faces, she didn't believe that the Su family didn't get involved in the previous life!

The next day, Xiao Han was instructing Liu Xing to do something, and Gonggong Liu rushed to the county lord's mansion with the holy decree.

The rhetoric on the holy decree is gorgeous, to the effect that the royal heirs are thin, coupled with the violation of the Holy Body, after Qintian's monitoring and calculation, Xiao Han, the lord of Pingle, was prosperous and specially canonized the lord of Pingle as the princess of Pingle.

However, in the holy decree, there is no mention of adopting her as an adopted daughter, only giving her the title of princess.

After Pingle received the order and thanked him, Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "The old slave congratulates the county lord, oh no, you should be called a princess." His Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Works to expand the county lord's mansion, and it will also be changed to the princess's mansion at that time. ”

Xiao Han smiled: "Pingle understands that Liu Gonglu is hard, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving?" ”

Gonggong Liu hurriedly shook his head and rejected his proposal, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has ordered, after you receive the order, you will order the old slave to enter the palace." After a while, the ministers got the news, and they were afraid that they would all go to the imperial study, and His Majesty meant to let you go too, and listen to what they had to say. ”

Xiao Han hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then hurry up and enter the palace, don't let the emperor's uncle wait for a long time." ”

The carriage left the county lord's mansion and went directly to the imperial palace, and then went to the imperial study.

When they arrived at the imperial study, there were already many ministers waiting inside, including Su Xun, the head of the Su family, the Marquis of Yan'an, and Wu Yanyu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and so on.

On the other side, it should be on her side, such as the crown prince Xiao Qi and the subordinate officials of the East Palace, as well as her maternal grandfather Zhen Guogong and his party.

The rest are like Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, Shangshu Wen Yuanshan of the Ministry of Rites, etc., and their attitudes are unknown.

She first bowed down and saluted: "Minister Xiao Han knocks to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Emperor Wu An said lightly: "Get up, Pingle has already come, if there is anything you want to say, please say it." ”

Su Xun was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that the county lord of Pingle is not of the blood of the Heavenly Family, and the title of 'princess' may not be appropriate." ”

On the other side, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites also stood up and said: "The minister agrees with Lord Su's opinion, the county lord of Pingle should be the Qi family, and the first emperor loved the eldest princess of Fushou, and specially gave the county lord of Pingle the status of the royal family, which is already considered an extra grace." If he continues to canonize the honor of the 'princess' of the county lord of Pingle, it may not be good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Wu Yanyu's remarks were hinting that Emperor Wu'an would be very unfavorable to the crown prince after he ascended the throne in the future if he canonized the lord of Pingle as a 'princess'.

After all, the Jin Kingdom uses the tradition of 'princess regent', and in addition to the fact that Xiao Han and the crown prince are about the same age, it is easier to cause a crisis.

These words were not only for the emperor, but also for the prince on the side.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Qi and Xiao Han belong to the same camp, if Xiao Qi is jealous of Xiao Han, the two are likely to part ways. That's a good thing for them.

Xiao Qi just kept playing with the folding fan in his hand when he heard this, and he didn't seem to hear what they said at all.

In the end, the Marquis of Yan'an also stood up: "The minister also feels that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and I hope that the saint will learn from it." ”

Seeing that they all expressed their attitudes, Emperor Wu An turned to ask Xiao Han: "Pingle, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Han stood up and said, "Pingle only thinks that these adults are afraid that they are too leisurely, so they will bother you with trivial things." ”

"Oh? How so? Emperor Wu An's eyes flashed a hint of a smile, and he asked out loud: "Although 'there is no trivial matter in the heavenly family', it is not unheard of for the daughters of the courtiers to be princesses in all dynasties, not to mention that after the first emperor was born in Pingle, he had already given the Pingle royal family jade disc and the surname 'Xiao'. In any way, in terms of origin, it is better than those women who have no royal blood, right? ”

"This..."Su Xun just wanted to refute, but Xiao Han immediately said: "Besides, since the emperor's uncle can canonize officials, why doesn't he even have the right to canonize a princess?" Do you have to wait for you to nod in agreement? ”

As soon as they heard this, they didn't dare to say anything, because the family had been suppressed by the emperor for some time recently, and their vitality was greatly damaged. If they continue to be suppressed by the emperor, then their lives will probably be even worse.

Especially after the end of the Spring Festival, a group of imperial examination scholars filled the vacancy, if the emperor was really urgent, then the family would suffer greater losses.

At this time, Xiao Yan also stood up: "Erchen Jue, there is nothing wrong with the fact that the county lord of Pingle was named a princess. ”

As soon as he saw the beginning of the prince, the subordinate officials of the East Palace also stood up, and finally the prince of Zhenguo also stood up and said: "The old minister thinks that everything can be done according to His Majesty's wishes, and we should not interfere with the status of the courtiers." ”

Neutral ministers such as Wen Yuanshan and Zhang Chengxiang also stood up and said that this was the emperor's family matter, and they agreed with the emperor's decision.

Seeing this situation, those who insisted on opposing it did not continue to speak, and finally Emperor Wu An spoke: "Since most people agree, then this matter is decided." I've been feeling unwell lately and want to rest. "Let's let Gonggong Liu let everyone else leave.

Xiao Han turned around to leave, and Emperor Wu An spoke again: "The prince and Pingle stay." ”

After the other ministers left, Emperor Wu An looked at the two of them and said, "Since you have made it clear, I will not hide it, and in the future, Pingle and the crown prince will follow me to deal with state affairs, so let's start tomorrow." ”

Before they could answer, Emperor Wu'an coughed for a while, and when Gonggong Liu came back, he saw that he immediately took out a pill from a porcelain bottle, tried the poison, and then gave it to the emperor.

Emperor Wu An waved his hand, signaling that they could retreat. The two saluted and exited the study.

After leaving, Xiao Han found that Grandpa was still waiting for her outside the hall. Thinking that he hadn't seen his grandfather for a long time, Xiao Han's heart was sour, and his eyes were a little moist.

Xiao Qi looked at it, didn't say much, and turned to leave.

The two grandfathers and grandsons glanced at each other, and did not speak in the palace, but walked towards the outside of the palace together.

Walking outside the palace, Xiao Han went straight to the carriage of the Guogong Mansion with his grandfather, and let his coachman go back to the house directly.

After getting into the carriage, the old face of the prince of Zhenguo was full of worry: "Ah Han, Your Majesty does this, I'm afraid it will be you who will be embarrassed in the future!" ”

Xiao Han smiled and soothed: "Uncle Emperor has already made it clear to me, all this is my own choice, Grandpa must not worry." ”

"And the prince's side?" Zhen Guogong is still worried.

Xiao Han didn't hide it either: "The prince is too, when the will is read, everything has been discussed." Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll take care of myself. But on the second uncle's side, I still hope you can take care of some. ”

What kind of character his second son is, Zhen Guogong himself is not unclear in his heart.

Thinking that he had been fighting all his life and that he had no son to fight, it made Zhen Guogong feel a little uncomfortable. However, looking at his granddaughter who grew up since childhood, and now she is about to soar into the sky, I feel a little comforted in my heart.

Zhen Guogong's thoughts, although Xiao Han didn't know, he could guess a thing or two. She comforted in a low voice: "Grandpa, don't worry, if I am here, the Guogong Mansion will not fall." I think Xin Ming has been raised well, if you train for a few years, maybe he will be able to hold up. "As for the current prince of the Guogong Mansion, Qi Ziyang, he is narrow-minded, but fortunately he is greedy for small profits, and he is really a little unable to get on the table. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been mixed up with those people in the Su family.

However, Xiao Han, as a junior, must not be able to say this, he can only tell Grandpa to put his mind on the next generation of the Guogong Mansion.

Qi Xinming, as Qi Ziyang's only son-in-law, will also be the son of the Guogong Mansion in the future, if he is cultivated well, it is not impossible to revive the Guogong Mansion in the future.

As soon as she heard her talk about Qi Xinming, Zhen Guogong's eyes also had a hint of light, and his expression was much kinder: "I don't want Xin Ming to fight on the battlefield like me, but at least I have to gain fame, at least not let the mansion completely decline." ”

Xiao Han comforted him softly, Zhen Guogong also eased up, the carriage arrived at the Guogong Mansion, and after the two of them got off the carriage, they went straight to the study.

After arriving at the study, Zhen Guogong still asked: "Look at what Your Majesty means, is it planning to let you officially enter the court and participate in politics?" ”

Xiao Han nodded: "That's right, if there is no accident, the emperor's uncle will arrange for me to deal with some things." ”

Zhen Guogong asked: "What is the matter between you and the Su family, I think Su Xun seems to be deliberately targeting you today?" ”

Xiao Han was a little surprised: "Grandpa doesn't know?" ”

"Know what?" Zhen Guogong asked rhetorically.

Xiao Han told everything that happened in Su's house a few days ago, and after the incident, Su Xun went to the palace to complain and beat him upside down.

Zhen Guogong fought on the battlefield, and the most despised thing was the wine bag and rice bag, and Su Yong also preferred to torture women for fun, which made Zhen Guogong even more disliked, and said with a disgusted face after listening to it: "The Su family is also a century-old family, how did you teach such a bastard!" You did a good job in this matter, then Su Yong was sentenced to beheading, and it really deserved. ”

But Zhenguo Gong changed his words: "But because of this matter, you are on the same page with the Su family, which is indeed a little inappropriate, your second aunt and the Su family are also considered to be 'related to each other', as soon as this matter comes out, it is really difficult for your second uncle to do anything." However, since this incident happened to the Su family, it must be honest for a while, and when the limelight passes, this matter should be almost forgotten. ”

Xiao Han understands that since the second aunt is the wife of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, she also takes care of the middle feed in the house, and if this incident happens, not only is the second uncle embarrassed, but I am afraid that the grandfather is also troubled a lot.

But she never regretted this matter, if she didn't come forward, the matter would not have made such a big fuss, and Su Yong's old bad debts would not have been turned over. Now if nothing else is said, the two women who were ruined by Su Yong can finally rest assured.

After talking to Grandpa for a while, and having a meal with Grandpa, Xiao Han got up and left. On the way, Xiao Han sighed, she found that Grandpa was really old, not only in appearance, but even his reaction began to gradually become sluggish, maybe she should really take out more time to accompany Grandpa.

After returning to the county lord's mansion, the secret guard suddenly appeared and handed her a letter, and after opening the letter, she found that the letter was written with information sent by the dark two, saying that Prince Zhuang had 'died of illness' a month ago, and Prince Zhuang planned to hand over the fold to canonize the side concubine Su Yan as the main concubine, and ask Su Yan's son to be named the 'prince of the palace'. It is said that the excerpt is already on the way to the capital, and will soon arrive in the capital.

Xiao Han vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Prince Zhuang seemed to have died of illness inexplicably, and finally Su Yan became Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang. And the child born to Su Yan also became the only child of Prince Zhuang, and was spoiled as a 'baby bump'.

However, this was only after she found out later and began to investigate. So when Prince Zhuang died, she doesn't know very well.

Having already guessed what happened later, Xiao Han's heart didn't fluctuate much. But now it seems that Prince Zhuang has established a new concubine and a new prince, and he may have been in contact with the Su family.

Just in case, Xiao Han still ordered the secret guards to continue to keep an eye on the every move of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Su Mansion and Yan'an Hou Mansion, especially Yan'an Hou Mansion to pay more attention.

After the dark guard received the order to leave, Xiao Han rubbed her forehead tiredly, there were too many things that happened today, which made her a little tired.

Under the service of Hongxiu and Cuiwei, Xiao Han could finally rest in peace after bathing and changing.

Early the next morning, after Xiao Han packed up, he entered the palace and went directly to the imperial study. Emperor Wu An and Xiao Qi both went to the early dynasty and had not yet returned, and the little eunuch in the imperial study was instructed, and he did not dare to slack off, so he led her to the side hall first and served tea.

After about half an hour, the little eunuch who was waiting outside the palace pushed the door and entered, saluting: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have returned, and they are announcing your past." ”

Xiao Han got up and tidied up his clothes, and then went to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Emperor Wu An was discussing things with the ministers, Xiao Han found a quiet place to stand quietly, waited for them to finish their discussion, and then bowed to Emperor Wu An, and then stood behind Xiao Yan.
