Lu Guanyun rushed to the Yanguo Mansion when he heard the news, and when he heard what his sister had said, he couldn't help laughing: "Why should my sister worry? Although His Royal Highness the King of Shu was quite pampered and willful earlier, since the return of the emperor's tomb, he has been cautious in his words and deeds. Although he has been looking for Jiaqi a few times recently, he has only been in ordinary contacts, and there is nothing aggressive, let alone looking for me in private, let alone making trouble for me. It can be seen that this highness is really sensible. In this way, even if he and I are interested in marrying the Xie family, I don't expect that we will end the prince for this! ”

Song Yixiao understood what his younger brother meant, not only Emperor Sutai and Empress Nie need to pay attention to public opinion, don't fall into the reputation of bullying the son of Emperor Xianjia, the king of Shu is actually not small for the emperor, after all, the emperor and queen are not kind to the son of the first emperor behind their backs.

If the king of Shu makes the emperor and queen hold a grudge, it will affect the future and even his life.

It is because of Lu Guanyun's sister's personal relationship with Queen Nie that he is actually invincible in this competition - unless Xie Jiaqi changes his mind and likes King Shu.

Song Yi smiled and said, "I haven't told you these things for a few years, but now you have said one thing after another?" ”

"Who doesn't know that my sister Lan Xinhui, as your own brother, I'm too stupid and embarrassed to lose your face, right?" Lu Guanyun said with a smile, "Besides, if I am smarter, I will be able to make a good name in the future and add glory to my sister's face!" ”

"Then I'm going to watch!" Song Yixiao was very satisfied with his progress, because the biological mother of the two, Wei Mengying, went early, Lu Guanyun failed to become the prince of Hengshan as Wei Mengying imagined, and his half-brother Lu Guanlun succeeded his uncle Zhaodehou, who died early, and is now Zhaodebo.

In this case, even if Emperor Sutai relied on the Yanguo Mansion and the Hengshan Mansion very much, it would be impossible to give Lu Guanyun the title again.

is that Lu Guanyun's future can only be earned by himself, and Song Yixiao naturally hopes that his younger brother can be named on the gold list and seek a bright future.

At this moment, I asked a few words about my brother's recent diet and homework, and I heard Lu Guanyun say that everything was fine, but he was not very satisfied with the current teacher's talent and learning, and planned to propose to Hengshan Wang to change to Xixi in two days, and couldn't help but think of his former teacher He Lou Duhan, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Although Lu Guanyun has not been under He Lou Duhan for a few years, he was still young at that time, but the level of the champion, where can ordinary Xixi compare?

It's a pity that the champion who once led countless high-level competitions has long been mentioned.

Song Yixiao didn't want to talk about this unpleasant past, so she turned the topic back to Xie Jiaqi: "Listen to you one by one, 'Jiaqi', do you know about this matter?" If you have already decided, you should have decided on the name as soon as possible! In this way, not only will His Royal Highness the King of Shu be unwilling, but also carefully ruin the reputation of other girls! ”

"I told her that I want to propose marriage after the title of the gold list!" Lu Guanyun was not shy, and said with a smile, "After all, my sister also knows, I now say that I am the son of the prince, but there are several brothers and sisters-in-law, and the side mother and concubine have given birth to a son and a daughter to their father in recent years. The Xie family is a high-ranking family handed down from the founding of the country, and they will go to propose marriage, even if they don't say it, they are afraid that they will despise me a little. Hengzhi We are not at the age when we have to get married, it is better to seize the time to read more, and when we have fame, Jiaqi has face in the Xie family, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”

"Don't worry!" In Song Yixiao's mind, this younger brother has always been young, and when he heard him say that he is so sophisticated, he was a little surprised, but also very emotional, and said, "I have some things given by my mother in the early years, because I am afraid that you and Zhu'er are still young, so I have never told you, and I will give them to you when you grow up." ”

Lu Guanyun is not easy to deceive now, and immediately said: "Where is the lintel of the Wei family, how many things can be given to the concubine?" Don't be my sister's own body, in the name of my mother, you want to give it to us, right? I don't want it! ”

"You're so stupid." Song Yi glanced at him with a smile on her face, and said, "My mother has been a princess for so many years, can she still save something in her hand?" You are too underestimating what your mother has done for us! ”

Lu Guanyun still didn't believe it when he heard this, and euphemistically said that he felt that Wei Mengying had gone so suddenly that it was estimated that he would not have time to explain anything to his eldest daughter, let alone transfer things.

Song Yixiao didn't bother to explain when she saw this, so she directly picked up her sister's shelf and lectured him a few words, and asked someone to take two silver tickets: "Although Concubine Xia is a virtuous person, she is young and has only given birth to a son and a daughter, and it is too late to take care of her own children. If you have anything you want in the future, it's inconvenient to come to my sister and say it, so send someone to buy it yourself! ”

When that Concubine Xia entered the Hengshan Palace, she was very cautious and cautious about Lu Guanyun.

In the past two years, Xu has had her own children, and she feels that her position has been stabilized, although she can't talk about abandoning Lu Guanyun, she is also a little tired - although she is not a concubine, the side concubine is always one level higher than the concubine.

Such negligence is not to the point of being harsh, but it is not as diligent as before. Even if Song Yixiao heard the news from the eldest young grandmother of Hengshan Palace, Kong's family, it was difficult to talk to her, so she could only subsidize her younger brother in private.

After sending Lu Guanyun away, Song Yixiao was not completely at ease with the King of Shu, and still sent people to pay attention to this matter secretly.

This attention, from the early spring of the sixth year of Sutai, noticed the autumn of the eighth year of Sutai - Lu Guanyun was in the middle of the autumn, and the king of Hengshan was overjoyed about this, and specially sent people to the Yanguo Mansion to discuss hiring the Xie family for him.

Song Yixiao was quite surprised when she heard the news: "Didn't Yun'er say earlier that she wanted the title of the gold list to mention this matter?" ”

"The original intention of the seventh prince is just that he doesn't want to be underestimated by the Xie family." The person who came smiled and said, "However, the seventh prince is now in the middle of the year at this age, do you need to talk about it in the future?" The prince personally went out to test it, and Lai Guogong had already shown his words, and he was very satisfied with our seventh son! The prince felt that since this was the case, there was no need to wait any longer, and marrying Miss Xie as soon as possible would also allow the seventh prince to study with peace of mind. ”

This matter is so decided - after Lu Guanyun got married, because the king of Hengshan was still alive, and the couple still lived in the Hengshan Palace, Song Yi smiled when he saw this, so it was naturally not good to hand over the "things that Wei Mengying left to his children" to him, and only secretly carved out a rich gift for his younger brother after setting up his own door.

This congratulatory gift actually comes from Jiangnan Hall, but when it comes to her, she naturally has the final say on who she gives it to.

After Lu Guanyun got married, his relationship with Xie Jiaqi has always been good, and he has the father of King Hengshan to protect him, so naturally there is nothing for Song Yixiao to worry about.

But her half-sister Lu Zhuoer made Song Yixiao feel very embarrassed.

Lu Zhuoer is only two years younger than Lu Guanyun, Lu Guanyun is married, and Lu Zhuoer's marriage will naturally be on the agenda.

This girl's parents, brothers and sisters are both good-looking, and of course they are not bad-looking. As the lord of the clan, even if her biological mother Wei Mengying didn't leave her much private room, but with Song Yixiao's sister here, and the rules for the royal lord to go out of the cabinet, there is no need to worry about the dowry.

It is said that it is not difficult to marry.

The problem is that the girl was stimulated by witnessing the assassination of her biological mother, and there is still little sign of recovery - she basically doesn't speak, she is not interested in anything, but she will do whatever she asks her to do.

This kind of different kind of tame silence, Song Yixiao doesn't know what kind of husband she needs to find to rest assured?

What's more, if this situation doesn't change, Lu Zhuo'er won't be able to be a normal housewife in the future - what should I do?

After Queen Nie learned about it, she gave her an idea: "It's better to promote her to a princess, and then open a mansion to live alone, you choose two neat and loyal people for her to put on the left and right, and the in-laws and elders can't take care of it, it's better to rest assured than marrying into someone else's family?" ”

"But Your Majesty has already sealed Leyuan and Pingshao, and it is really too much to ask Jin Zhuo'er to be the princess." Song Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's wait, maybe it will get better in two years?" ”

She has not told Queen Nie about the harem since she entered the palace in the past two years, because talking about it is just poking the queen's sore spots:

Following the death of the prince born by the Lin family, in the sixth year of Sutai, the biological mother of the eldest princess, Hu Shi, became pregnant again and gave birth to a son at the end of the year.

This prince is very healthy and has survived.

After having the eldest son of the emperor whose biological mother was from a humble background, high-ranking concubines such as Concubine Yao and Concubine Xuan can be said to be relieved: the birth restrictions on them have finally been lifted.

So far, these two concubines have given birth to two sons and one daughter successively - Concubine Yao, who gave birth to the third prince, is still in confinement.

And Emperor Sutai spent the longest night in Weiyang Palace, but Empress Nie never moved.

At the beginning of this year, the queen took the initiative to propose to remove the imperial list that had been hanging for several years, which means that she has completely lost her heart to seeking medical treatment.

A few days ago, news came out in the palace that someone persuaded the queen to take advantage of the young age of the three princes to hug. Raising one, raising it since childhood, is not much different from the biological one.

But Empress Nie didn't adopt it in the end - now I don't know whether the queen still has hopes for her own fertility, or simply doesn't want to raise other people's children with her husband?

Fortunately, Emperor Sutai always attached great importance to the queen as before, so that even if the queen had no children, the concubines did not dare to underestimate her.

But Queen Nie has not taken the initiative to tell Song Yixiao about this distress in the past two years, which shows that she actually cares more and more about this matter in her heart, so much so that even a close sister-in-law like Song Yixiao refuses to talk about it.

So the two sisters-in-law chatted casually that day, and then dispersed.

It's just that what Song Yixiao didn't expect was that this conversation spread - the rumor turned out that she, the lady of Yanguo, took the initiative to enter the palace and ask Queen Nie to canonize her sister Lu Zhuo'er, the lord of Xinling County, as a princess!

For a time, the government and the opposition were full of discussions about the arrogance of the Yanguo Mansion and the persecution of the queen!

At this time, the New Year has passed, and it is the first month of the ninth year of Sutai.

In this year, there is spring, and scholars from all over the country gather in the imperial capital.

In the teahouses and restaurants on the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, there are often scholars gathering, talking, looking for soulmates, and occasionally competing with each other - these people love to point out the praise and disparagement of the country, and in such a hot spot, the debate about whether Yan Guogong is arrogant or not has made a fuss in the entire imperial capital.

Although there are a small number of people who believe that Jian Xubai has the merit of supporting Emperor Sutai, and has been assisting Emperor Sutai to destroy Di Li, which has threatened Middle-earth for several dynasties, it can be said that it is a great achievement.

Such a feat, not to mention whether Mrs. Yanguo really wants to blackmail the emperor to canonize her sister as a princess, even if she really does this, it is understandable - the unusually quiet thing of the county lord of Xinling is not a secret, the distressed sister of the sister is in a special situation, I am afraid that she will be bullied when she goes out of the cabinet normally, thinking about getting her a princess mansion, being the master of the house herself, and avoiding dealing with her in-laws, the emperor and queen didn't say anything, what are the people shouting about?

However, these people are basically the descendants and nephews of Jian Xubai's faction, such as Shen, Liu, Weisu, and other scholars who took the exam. Naturally, he belongs to the school of simplicity and whiteness, and there is no reason to speak ill of his own people.

More scholars insisted that Song Yixiao's move was evidence that the Yan State Mansion was arrogant and arrogant!

In various gatherings, they used their talents to attack Jian Xubai - in fact, not every one of these people really dislikes or doubts Jian Xubai, mainly because these people have just fought their way out of the autumn examinations in various places and obtained the qualification to participate in the Spring Festival.

The Darui reserve officials who have not experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Hai are probably full of ambition at this moment, and it is the time when he scolded Fang Xuan the most in his life, and the scholarly business is angry, why do the court bigwigs and officialdom giants not pay attention to them!

And Jian Xubai was a very popular minister at a young age, holding great power, and most importantly, he was not born in the imperial examination, but entered the military service - the scholars were not only dissatisfied with him, but also envious, jealous and hateful, it was impossible to be very respectful in the first place, not to mention that the current public opinion is also aimed at the Yanguo Mansion, how can he not add fuel to the fire?

In addition, Jian Xubai forced the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to death back then, although there was no rumor, but after the funeral of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the Yanguo Mansion did not even go to the condolences - this matter is in the eyes of many people, and it is impossible to keep it secret.

After this point was revealed, the scholars felt more and more that Jane was disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, how could such a person be worthy of a high position in the court?

Doesn't this bring about the atmosphere of the entire court, and also make people all over the world question the credibility of the court?

After a similar view was spread in the imperial capital for a while, Xu Shi saw that the Yanguo Mansion had no reaction, and Emperor Sutai had no intention of stopping it, and the scholars' attacks on the Yanguo Mansion became more and more intense, and some people even proposed to jointly write to the court to remove Jian Xubai's current position and the position of the secretary of the Ministry - of course, this is purely a decision to drink too much, and it will be over when he sobers up halfway.

But although there is no scholar who has jointly written against Jian Xubai, such a move, the court will naturally not know about it.

Yuan Xuepei took the time to go to the Yanguo Mansion for this purpose: "What are your plans for the current situation?" ”

He and Jian Xubai have known each other since childhood, and they know each other very well, of course they understand that if it weren't for Jian Xubai's deliberate connivance, how could these scholars make trouble?

After all, although Jian Xubai is not in charge of the Ministry of Rites now, the chief examiner of this Ke Chunyu is his person-no matter what the reason is, these scholars are hostile to the Yanguo Mansion, can this hostility be greater than their own future?

So Yuan Xuepei knew that Jian Xubai was deliberate.

He just didn't understand why Jian Xubai was doing this?
