I see that although the prince is the eldest son, but there is no support from other families except for a queen behind him", Su Shi shook his head after thinking, after all, the prince's side concubine is his sister, of course she would prefer to take the throne with the prince, "On the contrary, it is the Seventh Highness, who has not been inconspicuous over the years, and now it is impressive." ”

Li Qianran said, "That's not necessarily, although the eldest princess holds the power of the army, isn't the Sheng family the same?" If my brother marries Sheng Feifei in the future, he will be regarded as half of the Sheng family, if my brother is willing to stand on the side of the prince, he will not be evenly matched. ”

Su Shi shook his head, "Old Man Sheng's personality is different from that of Old Taijun, where is it up to the juniors to decide." What's more, if the crown prince ascends the throne or not, what does it have to do with us? ”

How can it be irrelevant? Li Qianran's eyes moved slightly, if the crown prince became the emperor, if her aunt fought for the queen, her worth would naturally be different. If the aunt is not angry, it is not uncommon to see families sending beauties to the palace these days......

——

Emperor Wei went to Nanshan to recuperate, and the court was not peaceful these days. Sheng Mingzhu also peeked out from his father's words and deeds, Sheng Qian is generally a gentle and elegant person, a scholar pays attention to a form, whether he is angry or angry, he always has a three-point smile on his face, these days when he comes back from the palace, the corners of his mouth are drooping every day, and he looks very tired.

This day came back much later than usual, Yun Niang was waiting for someone at the door, and waited for a long time, but saw Sheng Qian come back. There was also a holy decree in his hand, "Why did you come back so late today?" Yun Niang stepped forward to pick him up, and took a clean handkerchief to wipe his hands for him, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and the food is almost cold." ”

Sheng Mingzhu and Lingzhu sat on one side, and the dinner table was very quiet.

After a long time, Yun Niang couldn't help it, in the past, the father and daughter always had endless words, but now they suddenly became quiet, and asked, "Master, what's wrong today, you don't look good." "It's not today, it's been a few days ago, but there were always accidents in the court in the past, and Yun Niang didn't pay much attention to it.

Sheng Qian sighed and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"In the past few days, the crown prince has been in charge of the country, and His Majesty is not here, and the original treacherous people have jumped up. The prince is not young, but his temperament is still very pure, he has been fooled several times and his temper has grown, and now he is full of smoke and miasma, which is simply sad", saying that the prince is not young, and his temperament is still very pure, he is turning a corner and scolding the prince.

Sheng Mingzhu didn't know what this prince had done, but his angry father was like this, so he just lowered his head and listened. The left and right are just the prince and Wei Ci, one side of the princeling, the other side of the prince's party, and it is not uncommon for such a brother to be in the old history books - Sheng Mingzhu and the prince are not very familiar, but they are not very willing to Wei Ci to be the god.

If everything is the same as in the dream, wouldn't the first thing Wei Xi do after he took the throne was to raid the Sheng family?

Sheng Mingzhu didn't understand these things before, but now that she is getting older, she has seen more than before, and she understands a lot of things. For example, the eldest princess held the military power, and Wei Xi married Jiang Runyan. But the Sheng family also holds hundreds of thousands of border troops, and the side of the emperor's couch is not allowed to let others sleep.

The Sheng family is a fierce tiger, if it can resist the enemy in wartime, if the world is peaceful, the emperor will have to worry about whether the captive tiger will hurt himself. Emperor Wei didn't do such a thing as flying birds and hiding good bows, because he had the courage to suppress everyone - but if Emperor Wei went, these old ministers would follow him step by step.

How could the crown prince and Wei Xi be the opponents of these people.

Sheng Qian sighed, didn't say any more about this, and said to Sheng Mingzhu, "Your grandfather was sick a few days ago, these days the court is busy, if I don't go, there will be chaos, a few days ago I got a Ganoderma lucidum from Imperial Doctor Zhou, you send it to Sheng Guo Mansion." ”

Sheng Mingzhu nodded, and asked again, "How is my grandfather's condition?" ”

Sheng Qian's expression was a little sluggish, and the imperial doctor had gone to the house for diagnosis and treatment before. His father has been in good health for decades, even if he was burned on the battlefield back then, he could stand up in just a moment, not to mention that although he is old now, there was nothing seriously ill a few days ago, and Sheng Qian thought it was an ordinary cold and flu.

Just being sick for so many days is inevitably worrying.

"I don't know the situation now, you can go and see tomorrow."

He wanted to go to the Shengguo Mansion to see how his father was doing, but a few days ago, there was another incident on the frontier. Now Wei Ci and the prince are inseparable, and now they have gone to the Shengguo Mansion to become suspicious in the hearts of the people, thinking of this, they suddenly don't even have the intention of eating, and take the official hat and get up, "You use it slowly, I still have some things to deal with." ”

Yun Niang saw that he was in a hurry to leave, and he didn't even have time to eat, so she hurriedly asked Huang's mother to take some snacks in a snack box for him to take on the road. After Sheng Qian took it, he hurriedly left.

——

Sheng Mingzhu took Lingzhu to the Shengguo Mansion the next day. Now that I don't live here anymore, it seems to be different from what I saw before.

Sheng Feifei is about to turn seventeen, and the Ruan family has been busy preparing her dowry these days. Li Qiancheng had been introduced by Wei Xi to work in the military department, and finally took over the class of Marquis Boyuan. It stands to reason that the two families who are about to get married, Su and Li Qianran should not continue to live in the Shengguo Mansion.

Ruan Shi said it a few times openly and secretly, but I don't know if he didn't understand these two or deliberately pretended not to understand.

But she didn't dare to do anything to drive people out directly, after all, there was an old lady Song in front of her. What's more, in the future, the daughter will eventually marry into the Li family, and parents all over the world are thinking about their children. It's just that the Su family is okay, but the little girl is really cunning.

These days, Li Qianran is often with Sheng Feifei, and the relationship is as good as a person. Sheng Feifei was a fool, but Ruan was shrewd, only to see that the precious jewelry he bought for his daughter by gritting his teeth and swallowing blood fell on Li Qianran's head in the blink of an eye.

These two people want to go out, but others think that Li Qianran is the daughter of the Sheng family. Ruan's angry teeth itched, but the marriage was decided, but now she is not good at doing anything, after all, Li Qianran is her daughter's sister-in-law in the future, if she does something to her, Sheng Feifei will marry the Li family in the future, and it is inevitable that the Su family will wear small shoes for her.

Because of the sullenness born these days, Sheng Mingzhu doesn't have much of a good face now that he is back. However, Li Qianran's sister and sister greeted her constantly, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that Li Qianran had no grievances with her for a long time and no hatred today, "Sister Mingzhu, let's go here, the grandfather of the Sheng family is not in good health these days, I want to come here, he will be in a much better mood when he sees you." ”

Sheng Feifei stood behind Li Qianran, puzzled why she was so enthusiastic about Sheng Mingzhu, her brows furrowed, and when Sheng Mingzhu went to look at Sheng Lao Guogong, she asked with a nose or eyes, "Qianran, do you have a good relationship with Sheng Mingzhu?" Why are you so enthusiastic about her today? ”

Li Qianran turned around, as if he was a little surprised, and smiled again after a while, "Feifei, you and my brother are going to get married soon, and they will be a family in the future." In any case, I should think about him, I don't like Sheng Mingzhu to be overly arrogant, but in the future, my brother will be an official, and multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, not to mention that everyone is a relative. ”

Sheng Feifei is just disgusted with Sheng Mingzhu, and now she hasn't seen her for a long time, where can she be tired. Seeing Li Qianran say this, he didn't ask more, "I understand everything you said." It's just that you don't know this Sheng Mingzhu, the temperament is pampered, it's better to be in such a salty and indifferent place, I just recently got two new bottles of Jade Buddha, which was obtained by my grandfather when he cleaned the battlefield before, saying that it was an old thing from the previous Great Zhou, I want to marry him, Qianran, you accompany me to the treasury to see? ”

Ruan Shi frowned in the back, now she would rather her daughter be friendly with Sheng Mingzhu than he would follow Li Qianran to get together. At least although Sheng Mingzhu is a knife, he has never taken half of the Sheng family's things.

"Although the Jade Buddha is a good thing, if it is an old thing of the Great Zhou, you have to think about it, after all, the Great Zhou is dead. Now it is not suitable to use it as a newlywed dowry-" Hearing Li Qianran say this from afar, Ruan Shi hurriedly poked the green bamboo next to him, and whispered, "Quickly, go and hide the two jade Buddhas in the treasury." ”

Even if it falls into dust or sells it to a pawnshop, it is better than having nothing left.

——

Sheng Mingzhu didn't know the chaos of the Sheng family's inner house, and walked all the way into Sheng Guogong's courtyard. The gray veil hung down, and a figure sat inside, and the shadow was so large that it was not very real. It's just that from the hair accessories and clothes, she can still easily tell who is coming.

Mrs. Song is serving the old man to drink medicine, the elderly couple, and now he is sick again, which is a contradiction that he didn't understand before, but now it is a little lighter. Sheng Lao Guogong is a cheerful person, thinking that his old wife's noble daughter who used to be high in the past now gave up her face to make peace with herself, so she also happily talked to her.

When Sheng Mingzhu entered the door, the two were talking about waiting for the old Guogong to recover from his illness and take Brother Lin to Jiangnan to play.

"Mingzhu has seen her grandfather and grandmother."

Sheng Mingzhu gently knocked on the door, Sheng Lao Guogong was originally lying on the bed, so he raised his head slightly, looked at the wonderful person leaning on the side of the door, and immediately smiled, "Didn't you just come here a few days ago?" Why is it here again? ”

But Mrs. Song was displeased, "Why are the previous rules gone when you move out of the house?" How did your mother teach you? ”

Sheng Lao Guogong was still smiling and frowning, and was about to say something, when Sheng Mingzhu lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground. I asked Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Song to say goodbye again, and when she gave her orders, she smiled and said, "Grandfather is, don't you allow your granddaughter to miss you?" Daddy wanted to come today, but His Majesty is not here, and he doesn't have time to see you. ”

Sheng Mingzhu has now figured it out, and Mrs. Song doesn't pay much attention to the rules. She asked her to do whatever she wanted, and she didn't live in the Shengguo Mansion anyway.

"He should really be busy during this time." Sheng Lao Guogong's eyes were sluggish, and he didn't know what he thought.

Old Taijun Song's eyebrows drooped slightly, now that His Majesty is seriously ill, naturally many people are anxious to win over his Hubu Shangshu, and they don't want to see the second son, and they don't want to see this granddaughter, so they said to Sheng Guo, "My legs and feet are a little tired, go to the back room and lie down for a while." ”
