Dongyu felt that what Sheng Xiuyi said was very right.

She also secretly sighed that he saw the problem thoroughly.

It's just these things, doesn't Sheng Changhou know?

Dongyu felt that he was helpless to live in the inner house. If she walks in the court, she can also see it, can't Marquis Sheng Chang see it?

"In that case, why is Daddy still angry?" Dong Ying asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Daddy, can't you see that the East Palace is falling, isn't it because of your words?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi was silent for a moment, sighed slowly, and said, "I guess he knows, he knows better than me in his heart......"

After a slow pause, Sheng Xiuyi continued: "It's just that he is unwilling. ”

A sentence of unwillingness, finally pointed out the essence of the problem.

Why doesn't the Marquis of Sheng Chang know? He's just pretending to be stupid.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier. Like Daddy, the two dynasties were officials, and the first emperor valued his father very much, and Emperor Yuanchang was afraid and dependent on his father in the past, but now he is more vigilant, and he has no trust from the first emperor back then. When the heir emperor ascends the throne, who would have thought of the future of the Sheng family? Sheng Xiuyi said softly, "Ah Yu, if you taste the beauty of something, you don't want to lose it, and even suffer from gains and losses for it." That's what rights are...... How many people can be as transparent and open-minded as Old Marquis Xue? ”

He said that the Marquis of Sheng Chang was very afraid of losing his current high position and power.

Only in this way can Sheng Changhou find his sense of accomplishment.

Rights are indeed tempting, especially in a society governed by this one.

Sheng Xiuyi did not respect the Marquis of Zhenxian Xue in the past. The patriarch of the Three Dynasties in his impression. It's just that he can play Tai Chi, and he can meet the source left and right. Since marrying the Xue family and getting along several times, Sheng Xiuyi began to feel that the Marquis of Zhenxian has not fallen after three dynasties, not luck, not cunning, but knowing current affairs and daring to make trade-offs!

In the face of power, the Marquis of Sheng Chang is not as open-minded as the Marquis of Zhenxian.

Sheng Xiuyi admired Old Marquis Xue very much.

"Aren't you worried?" Dong Ying asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Aren't you worried that the Sheng family will be lonely from the court?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi laughed: "A companion is like a tiger." The rapid retreat is called the opportunity. Not in a high position, not in court. Isn't it good to live at ease? ”

Dong Ying smiled and didn't speak.

Emperor Yuanchang did not dare to announce the assassination of Emperor Yuanchang, but only said that he was bedridden because of the occasional wind and cold.

The imperial physician in charge of the hospital instructed Emperor Yuanchang not to get out of bed for half a month, and not to worry about the government within two months, otherwise the body will not recover, and it will be even more difficult to make up for it in the future.

The third master, Sheng Xiumu, is still on duty every day. And the Marquis of Shengchang does not need to go to court.

But he's still busy every day.

Because His Majesty is ill, the crown prince has not yet been declared in the world. The two mothers of the forbidden palace also fought fiercely.

Mrs. Sheng, who is in the inner house and doesn't care about the government, has also heard of these things. Because the other party was the Xue family and Xue Guifei's mother, although she wanted to talk to Dongyu, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she had to hold back and not mention it.

In the major affairs of the DPRK and China, whether they are worried or not, Dongyu and Mrs. Sheng can't intervene.

And the marriage of the cousin Qin Yi has finally been decided.

April 20 is the day when Dongyu first came out of the cabinet. The Marquis of Qinwei sent Sheng Wenrou, the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Sheng family, to give a small gift and discuss marrying Qin Yi on the first day of August this year.

Mrs. Sheng agreed.

The dowry gift sent by the Marquis of Qinwei Mansion was worth about 5,000 taels of silver.

Mrs. Sheng was not greedy for these things, and after getting the permission of Marquis Sheng Chang, she decided to buy a dowry of 8,000 taels of silver for Qin Yi.

The Sheng family has always married a daughter-in-law, never married a daughter, and the two young ladies went directly to the palace.

After discussing with Kang's mother, Mrs. Sheng decided to compare the dowry of the second grandmother Ge to Qin Yi's.

Because Dong Yu is the lord of the royal seal. Although her dowry is only eighty-eight lifts, it is far more generous than the one hundred and twenty lifts of others, not to mention the things that Mrs. Xue added to Dong Yu privately and are not on the gift list.

Qin Yi got married, so naturally it was not good to compare the dowry of the county lord.

The Sheng family would not have come up with so much money to marry her.

After the agreement, Kang's mother instructed the steward of the outer courtyard to procure.

By the beginning of May, Qin Yi's dowry was complete.

And Emperor Yuanchang's body also recovered a little. It is already possible to go to court. The first thing he did when he went to court was to discuss the establishment of a prince.

Not all civil and military officials are biased towards the second prince. Because of the Marquis of Shengchang, the voice of the three princes is also very high.

Attacking the second prince. Almost always say that he is cowardly and timid; His mother, Xue Guifei Niangniang, has only one prince, not as good as Sheng Guifei Niangniang, who has two sons, and the blessings are complete.

The attack on the third prince is nothing more than saying that his relatives are too powerful, and he is only afraid that he will lose power in the future, and there will be another turmoil in the court.

Within a few days, I heard that Xue Guifei Niangniang cried to His Majesty, saying that she had dreams every night, and the immortals said to her that she needed to accumulate love before God could bless my dynasty.

The emperor was very moved when he heard this, so he passed on the four princes who were brought in from outside the palace to the name of Xue Guifei Niangniang.

In this way, Xue Guifei also has two sons.

Sheng Changhou was so angry that he vomited blood.

Sheng Xiuyi also understood why Emperor Yuanchang was so happy to recognize the four princes given to him by King Xingping. He estimated that at that moment, he had thought of using the four princes to deal with the Sheng family.

He finally pretended to be crazy with wine, and told the Sheng father and son his thoughts about Xue Dongyu.

As a result, the Sheng father and son pretended to be stupid!

In the end, that damn King Xingping really made such a child!

How can he not be angry?

But after thinking about it, it is estimated that the Sheng family is making trouble behind it. Since this is the case, the child sent by the Sheng family, he wants this child to become the person who will make the Sheng family regret it in the future.

So he happily recognized the four princes, but he did not say that he would take the mother of the four princes into the palace.

This child is now fostered in the name of Xue Guifei Niangniang and has become the son of Xue Guifei Niangniang.

He probably wanted to see how his Risheng family ate its own bitter fruits.

Sheng Changhou didn't know all this. He didn't know the ins and outs of the four princes, and he happened to bump into His Majesty's "Pearl Relics Sea" because Sheng Xiuyi was behind it. So he thought it was King Xingping who helped the Xue family. Use it to deal with the Sheng family.

I was also angry with King Xingping in my heart.

The ministers quarreled about this matter for half a month.

On the morning of May 16, Emperor Yuanchang was in a very bad mood, and the ministers had different opinions on the matter of the prince, making him unable to make a choice. So Emperor Yuanchang said that the establishment of the prince is the emperor's family affair, which has been orderly since ancient times, and the second prince has never been born with defects, so he should not avoid his brother and choose his brother.

This reason is really hard to argue.

In this way, the second prince was made the crown prince. His biological mother, Xue Guifei Niangniang, was named queen.

The Xue family rose for a while.

Empress Xue's father, Xue Ziyu, the prince of the Marquis of Zhenxian, was crowned a third-class Fengguo general and a hereditary Marquis of Yanxi for three generations; His mother, Rong's, was given a wife of a product.

Three days later, it was the queen's canonization ceremony.

Both internal and external women must enter the palace to congratulate.

Sheng Changhou fell ill unexpectedly.

This time it was really not pretending to be sick, but he was so angry that he had a fever in the middle of the night.

Sheng Xiuyi hurriedly went to the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor only said that the hot poison had accumulated in his heart, and phlegm had gushed up. I opened a few sets of squares first. Dissolve phlegm and dissipate qi, and then slowly recuperate.

Out of the inner room. The old lady doctor went to the small study with Sheng Xiuyi to prescribe prescriptions, and then said to Sheng Xiuyi: "Taifu has been fighting for many years, and the hidden dangers of old diseases in his body have never subsided. The older you get, the more your old illnesses are revealed. The old man looked at Taifu's expression, not like a new disease, but a recurrence of an old disease. The prince listened to the old man's words and persuaded the master to worry less and recuperate more, which is the way to prolong life. ”

Sheng Xiuyi was stunned.

He thanked him. Personally send the Imperial Doctor out.

Emperor Yuanchang also heard that the Marquis of Shengchang was ill, so he deliberately went down. Decree, so that the daughters of the Sheng family do not have to go to the post-sealing ceremony to congratulate, and serve the Marquis of Sheng Chang wholeheartedly in the mansion.

Although it is concerned, it sounds so much like schadenfreude.

The Beijing is full of lively post-closure ceremonies, and the Sheng family is closed.

Sheng Changhou had a high fever all night, and his fever went down a lot after taking medicine, but he kept having a low-grade fever. It lasted two days. His whole body seemed to grow old in an instant.

Sheng Xiuyi's brothers, Dong Ying and the second grandmother Ge have also been serving in Yuanyang Pavilion.

Sheng Xiuyi even set up a soft couch in the inner room, did not go back to the Jingshi Courtyard to live, and served Sheng Changhou in front of the bed day and night.

Sheng Changhou's illness seems to have understood a lot of things, and seeing his eldest son working hard and filial piety, the hatred for him some time ago has also been reduced.

When you fall ill. All three sons served at the bedside.

The second master, Sheng Xiuyi, was a little irritable and absent-minded.

The third master, Sheng Xiumu, has never served others. Although he has filial piety, he has no law.

Only Sheng Xiuyi. Serving Sheng Xiuyi got up to go to the toilet, wiped his body, and fed the medicine with his own hands, everything was done carefully and properly.

Sheng Changhou sighed softly.

Raising children to prevent old age, he only understood the deep meaning of this sentence today.

When his parents died, Mrs. Sheng was by her side. He's been out on the road. When the old father fell ill, did he also want to have a son who took care of him like this?

Thinking about it, Sheng Changhou sighed again.

"When fighting in the northwest, there was a proverb among the steppe people: the hair that grows first is not as long as the beard, and the ears that grow first are not as hard as the horns." Sheng Changhou's voice was a little hoarse, "This sentence is also said by our Central Plains people, that is, the blue is better than the blue." Look at your brothers, you are all more capable than Daddy, Daddy is really old......"

The second master and the third master were both stunned, and then realized that this sentence was a bit bleak.

The two hung their heads.

Sheng Xiuyi's eyes were a little astringent: "Daddy is less than fifty, how can he be old?" ”

"Fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven, how can you not be old?" Sheng Changhou sighed, his expression a little sad.

The three brothers looked at their father, who was usually strong, saying such things, and their hearts were sour.

Sheng Changhou's illness has been sick for half a month. Because of his perennial battles, his originally dark cheeks looked old. Now this disease, old age has suddenly appeared.

Dongyu also felt sad when he looked at it.

Compared with the excitement of the Xue family, the Sheng family has been full of birds and cold these days.

On May 28, Dongyu's eleventh sister, Xue Dongshu Xue Shufei Niangniang, who entered the palace and sealed the concubine, gave birth to a princess.

This is the fourth daughter of Emperor Yuanchang, and Emperor Yuanchang likes it very much.

Because he had residual poison in his body and was not in good health, he often coughed up blood. On the day of the birth of the fourth princess, His Majesty unexpectedly slept soundly.

His Majesty said that the fourth princess of Concubine Xue Shuniang was his gospel.
