At the end of September of the 21st year of Xianjia, the emperor recovered from a serious illness, and on the day after the secret conversation with the acting princess, he issued a decree to clean the palace without warning - the reason was to make the government and the opposition jaw-dropping "chase down the remnants".

These "remnants" are mainly divided into two parts: one part is the remnants of the former dynasty Shentu Guifei and Mrs. Zhenyuan; The other part is the remnants of Emperor Xianjia's forty or so half-siblings.

In just two days, dozens of palace people went to the guillotine - five or six of them were old people who had served in Xuanming Palace for more than ten years.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he killed all sides, and countless royal relatives and nobles such as King Chengyang were deeply affected, and everyone thought that they had already been killed and eradicated.

Twenty years have passed, and a whole generation of more than one has grown up, and if it were not for the clear and unambiguous writing of the holy decree, many people would not have dreamed that those who were already on the grave were still faithful in the world.

And Emperor Xianjia's serious illness, the poisoning of the crown prince and even the death of Concubine Cui were all detained on these people's heads - the matter of the two kings competing for the crown prince was not mentioned in the holy decree, and everyone was at a loss by the sudden change, and no one dared to rush out of this head before determining the emperor's thoughts, and the government and the opposition were strangely silent!

It's just that as the days go by, the emperor has not been in power, and everyone has a number in their hearts: no matter what happened to the emperor's critical illness before, it is obvious that Emperor Xianjia, who has been sick for more than 20 years, may really not last long.

This also means that the issue of the prince cannot be delayed any longer.

I didn't say anything up and down, but I was holding my breath and waiting for the result.

Because Song Yixiao has her husband revealing the inside story, she doesn't have to worry about her future, she is calm and relaxed, and she concentrates on raising her baby.

I didn't want to be summoned by my mother-in-law suddenly on this day - she just said that her mother-in-law was busy and wanted to care about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy. Who knew that after arriving at the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, after seeing the salute, the eldest princess said "sit" absentmindedly, and her eyes swept left and right, and the waiters, including Jia Yue, retreated.

Looking at this situation, Song Yixiao knew that there must be something important, so he sat up straight and put on a solemn look.

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom raised her eyebrows for a long time, but said, "What do you think...... Can King Zhao be entrusted by the dancing cherry blossoms? ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao?" Song Yixiao was shocked when he heard this, when King Zhao's faction had the upper hand before, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom didn't want to give her daughter to this nephew, not to mention that Emperor Xianjia was determined to pass on the eldest son, what would be the ending of King Zhao's sister-in-law, it was difficult to say in the future - how could the eldest princess take a fancy to him as a son-in-law?

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom saw her daughter-in-law's incomprehension, and explained briefly: "Your Majesty said that King Zhao will be succeeded by him, so that he will no longer hinder the prince in the future, and with the prince's mind, he should not be embarrassed by him." It's just that now that our elders are still here, I'm afraid that we will not be there in the future, and the people below are speculating on their intentions and secretly grinding. You also know that King Zhao's temperament is not willing to bow his head and sue, and he won't say anything when he suffers a loss, he can't let the villain bully him! ”

Although Emperor Xianjia was determined to support the crown prince, he did not hurt other sons, especially King Zhao, his son-in-law, so for the sake of King Zhao's future, he privately asked the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to marry Nie Wuying to King Zhao.

"Your Majesty's consideration is: first, these two children are happy with each other; Second, although I grew up in front of me, but in the end, it is only the name of a righteous daughter, her mother's family, and you brothers, sisters and sisters-in-law, so it is not too wronged by King Zhao, but it will not make the prince embarrassed by King Zhao. The eldest princess pinched her eyebrows with some annoyance, and said, "I also want to complete the dance of Sakura, but it's just that Your Majesty plans to let King Zhao become a vassal in the future, and when the time comes, the sky will be high and far away—Your Majesty said that King Zhao is not willing to sue. Son, isn't Dancing Sakura a person who keeps everything in his heart? ”

The eldest princess is also afraid that her youngest daughter will be wronged and keep quiet, and she will suffer in vain!

"Mother, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Zhao and the fifth sister know about this matter now?" Song Yixiao understood that the reason why Emperor Xianjia made this request to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, in addition to the two reasons that the eldest princess said, was also to take a fancy to Nie Wuying and the Yanguo Mansion closer, and his wife were the prince's people, if the prince wanted to settle old accounts with King Zhao in the future, it would be impossible for his wife to sit idly by for Nie Wuying's sake - the emperor also spent a lot of effort for the future of his son-in-law.

However, she didn't dare to say anything about this kind of thing, after all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, especially King Zhao, who was originally full of confidence to compete for the storage position, which will be out of the game, and even be passed out by his father, and his father and mother can't recognize it - it's hard to say whether the sweetheart who marries the door at this moment will be regarded as a sweetheart.

Even if King Zhao is open-minded and does not anger Nie Wuying because of the sharp turn of the situation, but no matter how down-and-out he is, he must be at least a prince, he is young and his appearance is not bad, how can there be no fewer people rushing to support him, who can guarantee that he will not change Nie Wuying in this life?

Song Yixiao is married, and the children are pregnant, and she doesn't dare to say that her husband will never change his mind in the future?

In case she agrees, but the sister-in-law will not have a good time in the future, if the mother-in-law is still alive, maybe she will be blamed - so she pondered for a moment and decided whether it could be perfunctory or perfunctory, "The daughter-in-law and His Royal Highness King Zhao have not met a few times, and they really don't know much about His Royal Highness King Zhao, it is a matter of the fifth sister's life, but the daughter-in-law does not dare to say anything!" ”

Fortunately, although the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom asked her daughter-in-law's opinion, she did not plan to directly let her daughter-in-law take responsibility for the idea, and sighed when she heard this, and said: "King Zhao grew up under my watch, and in my heart, he and the prince are both generous in temperament." It's just that sometimes the temperament is generous, which may not be a good thing for the wife - when the little Cui family entered the East Palace earlier, he was afraid that Cui Guifei was biased, and he was favored by the prince, and he repeatedly provoked the princess, and even the queen mother couldn't see the words and beating, in the eyes of people who put aside the rules, such a side concubine should have given color a long time ago, but the prince only said that she was both a cousin and a young person, and she couldn't be coaxed by gentle words, so she was helpless - I think you should also know about the princess's methods, and with the support of the eldest son Zhongling Junwang, you still have to be wronged, Not to mention the dancing cherry blossoms? ”

Song Yi smiled and pondered her mother-in-law's words, and felt that her mother-in-law was actually biased towards agreeing, and in the end, what she was worried about was that after King Zhao became a vassal, after a long time, she lost her freshness to Nie Wuying and let down her daughter.

So, it's just a cover to summon yourself over today to discuss this matter?

She pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "In fact, the daughter-in-law is reluctant to let the fifth sister leave the imperial capital, but everyone has their own fate. Moreover, there is a saying that blood is thicker than water, even if it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, a family is a family after all. ”

I couldn't tell my mother-in-law's mind in the end, so I added, "This is a little shallow opinion of my daughter-in-law, and I hope my mother will give me advice!" ”

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom had a dull look in her eyes, and only said after a while: "Wu Ying is the youngest, and her temperament is simple, I am old, and I don't know if I can look at her for a few more days, in the future, I will entrust it to you!" ”

"Mother's words are serious!" Song Yixiao understood in her heart that her mother-in-law's words were a euphemistic admit, and she really wanted to agree to Emperor Xianjia's proposal - this is not surprising, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has always spoiled her children, Nie Wuying's life experience is embarrassing, sensitive and weak, and she is still the youngest, and she is the one who worries the eldest princess the most in recent years.

Now that King Zhao has failed in his bid for the crown prince, Emperor Xianjia has both the heart of protection and the prince is not a mean person, although the future will definitely be affected, but there is still a lot of hope for wealth and peace for a lifetime, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom will naturally change her mind.

Song Yixiao sighed at the fate between the sister-in-law and King Zhao, and said respectfully, "Mother now looks at the spirit and good body, watching our days last for a long time!" Two days ago, my husband also told my daughter-in-law that in the future, I should ask my mother for more guidance on the upbringing of children, and my mother can't only hurt my sister and not us! ”

When the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom heard this, her eyes fell on her bulging lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "I really don't worry about the children of the two of you, I said it before: look at your child's steady and generous appearance, whether it is a man or a woman in the future, I expect you to be able to teach sensible and clever!" ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said some common words next, and Song Yi smiled and saw that her mother-in-law had no other instructions, so she retired.

After she retired, she did not leave the eldest princess's mansion immediately, but went to see Pei Yourui and Nie Wuying.

But after inquiring, I found out that the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law were nesting together in the Pearl Garden, she folded the osmanthus flowers casually while walking, and after entering the Pearl Garden, she saw the two sisters sitting on the soft couch under the plum tree in the court, and was discussing something with their heads down, and saw Song Yi laughing in, hurriedly put down the work in hand, and got up to greet each other: "I just heard the people below say that my mother called you here, and I was thinking about when you will come?" ”

"Sit down and talk!" Pei Yourui is older and careful, considering that although Song Yixiao is not to the point where she is about to give birth, it is not easy to stand after showing her pregnancy, so she helped her walk towards the soft couch after saying a word.

"Will there be osmanthus flowers? I saw that the few plants outside the yard had been thanked, and the flowering period had all passed. After the three sisters-in-law sat down, Nie Wuying saw the flower branch in Song Yixiao's hand and said casually.

Song Yixiao was about to speak, Pei Yourui's eyes flashed, and suddenly ordered the people waiting in the courtyard to retreat, Song Yixiao only said that she had something to say, and hurriedly asked Jinxun and Yuelan to go out, and when there were only three of them left, who wanted Pei Yourui to ask with a smile: "The fourth brother and sister came with Gui, don't you have good news to report to the dancing cherry blossoms?" ”

"I really let Sister Yi say it!" Although Song Yixiao learned from her mother-in-law that Nie Wuying married King Zhao, it is estimated that there will be no problem, but without the permission of her mother-in-law, she didn't plan to talk about it this time, but since she came to her mother-in-law's side, there is nothing urgent and she needs to go back to the house immediately.

But now that Pei Yourui asked, she obviously knew about it, she thought about it, and felt that the left and right were cleared, but there was no need to hide it, so she inserted the osmanthus in her hand into Nie Wu's cherry sideburns, and said with a smile, "But I want to congratulate the fifth sister, a lover has finally become a family!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Nie Wuying was surprised and delighted when she heard this, and subconsciously smiled for a while, only to remember that it was wrong, her face turned red in an instant, she took off the osmanthus from her sideburns, glared at her sister-in-law angrily, and then slashed at Pei Yourui, "They are bullying me...... Ignore you! ”

Saying that, he stomped his feet and hurriedly entered the house - only when he walked to the corridor, Pei Yourui covered her mouth and said: "Wuying ignored us, but she didn't forget to take the cinnamon branch away, hehe......"

"Sister Yi!" Nie Wuying turned around with a red face, and said coquettishly, "I thought you were good, who knew you were the worst!" ”

I thought I was afraid that Pei Yourui would ridicule again, so after saying such a sentence, I ran into the room and slammed the door shut!

Song Yixiao smiled and retracted her gaze when she saw this, but she caught a glimpse of Pei Yourui's rare stretch of her eyebrows, and a light smile on her soft face was not amazing, but the innocence and innocence that was occasionally exposed in the dignified and noble Huali also had a heartbreak in her heart, and she subconsciously said: "Since the righteous sister is happy for the fifth sister for life, why don't you also consider yourself?" ”
