Chapter Seventy-Four: The Imperial Princess

Shaohua told Wanhua about the proposal to Li Sinian, and Wanhua shook his head when he heard it.

"No, no! You're about to destroy this bad idea, what kind of identity is Yan Niang, how can you be so messy! Wanhua shook her head like a rattle, no matter how Shaohua persuaded her, she didn't agree. Your previous proposal is not bad, as long as you find someone with a harder family background, as long as the aunt and wife don't dare to come to the door to cause trouble, at most Dona Xiuniang will be an aunt. But if you marry someone stronger, I'm afraid it's not easy to find an aunt. ”

"Does the third sister still dislike the second brother?" Shaohua felt very helpless about Wanhua's arbitrariness, but she knew Zhou Yan and Li Sinian who were quite compatible.

Anyway, Li Sinian is still his brother, he must have good looks and be literate. The Li family is not an idler, although the threshold of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is a little higher, but it is not enough to reach a place where the Li family can't climb, otherwise Shaohua and they would not be so familiar with Zhou Yan.

"It's not that I dislike it, what do you think I'm a person, how can I be such a chicken." Wanhua felt a little angry at her sister's distrust, "It's not that you don't know Yanniang's status in the family, but I'm afraid that if you give it to your eldest brother, Mrs. Zhongyi Hou may not be able to take a fancy to it." ”

"Then how do you know that Sister Yan doesn't like the second brother." She just saw Zhou Yan's blushing and shyness for a moment, although she later denied it.

Wanhua half-squinted her eyes and said threateningly: "Do you think Yan Niang is really the same as you, she will be willful if she wants to?" I can tell you that you don't have to count on Langjun of Xingyongbo's mansion, but the lady of Xingyongbo's mansion can consider it. ”

Shaohua was stunned, and looked at Wanhua incredulously, "No! "If Laneige and Li Sinian fall in love, she and Yan Kaizhi will be completely out of play.

Although she really wants to help Li Sinian, people are selfish, and she can't sacrifice herself to fulfill others. Besides, Li Sinian didn't say that she liked Laneige, and she couldn't instigate it.

Wanhua tilted her head suspiciously, and Shaohua hurriedly made an excuse, "The second brother shouldn't like the little lady of Xingyongbo's mansion." Wanhua rolled her eyes, "How do you know you don't like it, they haven't met." Shaohua was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Third sister, this is Taoyuan's business, let's not worry too much." By the way, I don't know what happened to my father last time I went to investigate. ”

Shaohua decided not to play Tai Chi in Xingyongbo's Mansion anymore, so as to save Wanhua Xingtou together, and really went to intercede with Li Ge Lao for Li Sinian. She is still thinking of finding an excuse to go out of the house with Li Sinian at that time.

Unexpectedly, Ling's reply was: "That matter, it has long been settled." ”

"Settled? So fast? Shaohua was startled, obviously it sounded very sinister last time, "Is it a favor invited by Daddy?" ”

"I don't know about this, I was worried that if I was found out, your grandfather couldn't save face." Ling Shi thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "Your father told me later that there are a lot of private goods and silver hidden in the cellar, and if this is found, your father will not be able to explain it." "Xuyuan is supported by Li Liangxun's moon, and Taoyuan is required to be the same as Taiheyuan everywhere, and the Li family is not a prince, and there is no court to support him. Most of them have no more income except for the rent of the family's land and shops.

However, these industries are all operated by Xiyuan, and the money earned has to be taken back and divided into three or five grades, and even Yan Shangju, the private property of Xiyuan, is often regarded as a share. Although the impact of going to Xiaozhu to eat and drink is not great, it is inevitable that Ling Shi will feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. The three brothers of the Li family have the most children under Li Xunzhuo's knees in the second room, but they have not gained much because of this. On the contrary, Xuyuan has the help of Si Yan, a broad young master, and the expenses are much larger.

Ling thought to herself that if it went on like this, it would be difficult for her to even raise a dowry for her daughter, so she asked her father and brother to buy a few houses in their name early in the morning and wait for them to be sold later. And Li Xunzhuo also knows here that Wanhua Shaohua still has a Ling family, if he doesn't help save some points, Jinhua will really have nothing. Therefore, the husband and wife both tacitly chose to take some private goods and save some family funds while managing the Li family's industry, so that their three daughters could marry beautifully.

Therefore, Li Xunzhuo is still so worried about the seizure of Suifeng Tower.

What puzzled Shaohua was that such a matter was solved a little inexplicably, or it was too calm. If it was really that easy, Li Xunzhuo would not have been so anxious that he was still coughing, so he ran out regardless of it.

Under her repeated questioning, Li Xunzhuo had no choice but to say: "It is indeed someone who is secretly helping." But I still don't know who it is, I only heard that there was a noble person who helped to intercede, so the yali let go of a horse and fined a few hundred taels. Li Xunzhuo tried hard to recall that he didn't know any palace people, so he helped him deal with things so lightly, and he didn't show up to be thanked by him. But he asked for a lot of favors, but he was disgusted and troubled.

"It's good that you can get out easily, but you still want to get into this quagmire? Don't hurry back yet. I don't care who will help you set it out, anyway, there is nothing to do with your Suifeng Tower, you just hurry up and get out of the way for me, don't disturb the official on an errand. ”

Later, Li Xunzhuo thought about it, maybe he had accumulated virtue on weekdays, so he gave it to the nobleman and gave it to him.

So he didn't think much about it, if it weren't for Shaohua chattering and pestering him to ask, Li Xunzhuo would have been indifferent a long time ago.

"What do you do when you ask so much, Daddy is just a Ji person with his own natural appearance, and he has the help of nobles in his fate." Wanhua also felt that Shaohua was thinking too much, and it would be best if things could be solved anyway.

Originally, the emperor had already intended to establish Hongyi as the crown prince, but when this kind of thing happened, naturally some people impeached, some people fought back, and the government and political pattern fell into a situation of swaying left and right. Due to the recurrence of his illness, the emperor resigned from the morning court for a few days, and almost caused a situation of martial law in the whole city. But fortunately, this time the emperor was quite calm, and he issued an order early, and if someone else came up to nominate who was the crown prince, he would be immediately dismissed and investigated, and his children and grandchildren would never be hired.

This sentence is extremely ruthless, it is no longer just a matter of punishing you alone, and if you don't have the whole family left, you won't have a career. But in this case, at least let the emperor recuperate in the harem with peace of mind, except for the daily twists and turns, no one dares to mention the matter of the prince.

The impeachment of the Imperial Procuratorate was a big trouble for the emperor, but Hongyi took the lead in arresting and bringing those people to justice regardless of their official positions and family backgrounds, and dealt with them according to the law, which made the emperor deeply satisfied. In the end, he found the niece of the imperial concubine, the daughter of the general of Dingguo, He Wanru, to be the second princess. General Dingguo is the uncle and brother of the imperial concubine, who is Zhou Zheng and serious, although the official residence is three grades, but it is an idle yamen. Suddenly knowing that his daughter was married into the palace, he was so frightened that he ran in to kowtow to the emperor and ask for guilt, took the initiative to explain his little mistakes, and finally made a small excuse, and said that the emperor was confused.

He also thought that he was too idle in the yamen on weekdays, so the emperor deliberately made things difficult for him. The emperor laughed when he heard this, and said that among the many uncles and brothers of the imperial concubine, the most honest and honest general of Dingguo, although he was idle and lazy, he was honest and loyal, and the lady raised must also be virtuous and virtuous. In short, under the holy decree, the king has no jokes, and the general of Dingguo still wants to live in the yamen, but now he has suddenly become the prince's father-in-law, and he has received more attention, and he trembles every day, for fear of losing etiquette.

The imperial concubine was noncommittal, but just smiled and asked people to arrange the wedding, after all, it was the prince's wedding, and it should not be rash.

But I have to say that this second princess is indeed smart and virtuous, and she is also gentle and lovely, and some people who are close to the family of General Dingguo are full of praise for her. He Wanru, like Zhou Yan, is the only lady in the family, but the difference is that Zhou Yan grew up in the palm of her hand. Moreover, the elder brothers are all in important positions, and Mrs. Zhongyi Hou is a good communicator, so Zhou Yan is used to the days when everyone is surrounded by majesty. On the contrary, He Wanru was low-key and reserved, and he also worshipped under Mama Rong's door, and when she was mentioned, Mama Rong was very surprised.

"I thought I had already made a promise, why haven't I gone out yet?" He Wanru was a few days earlier than Xin Zimo, and followed Mama Rong to school. At that time, General Dingguo only had such a daughter, not to mention which high-ranking family she was promised to, but the poems, books, pianos and paintings never fell.

Seeing that Mama Rong was packing her bags and planning to quit in the next two days, Shaohua felt a little lost, but she couldn't hang up or ran to gossip.

"Has this princess ever promised someone?" Shaohua asked curiously.

Mama Rong glanced back at her, "I heard that there was a fingertip who got married, but then the fiancΓ© died, and someone came to meet each other when he was married, and I remember that several families had met each other." However, I only stayed for less than half a year and left, and I heard that it was originally going to be completed, but when the eight characters were combined, it was said that the princess's life was too expensive, and Langjun, who was not blessed, would definitely be damaged. Looking at Shaohua a little embarrassed, she thought that she cared about the so-called too hard life in herself, so she comforted: "The fifth lady doesn't have to worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance." ”

Shaohua opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to justify, so he gave up.

Coming out of Baichuan Pavilion, Shaohua was a little dazed, she had never thought about the birth of the eight characters, in case she and Yan Kaizhi did not agree, then what should she do.

"What are you thinking? I'm going to hit it when I walk. Li Sinian's sudden appearance startled Shaohua.

Holding her thumping chest, Shaohua glared at him angrily, she had to suspect that Li Sinian was born as a scholar and walked without a sound. I was a little inexplicably annoyed, so I ignored him and made a detour to continue moving forward.

Li Sinian was baffled by her little temper, and shouted at her back: "Do you want to bring you a letter?" ”

The small emerald green figure paused, turned around slightly, and looked at him curiously, "What letter?" ”

"He is going to Lingjing, and I heard that there has been a lot of commotion there recently, and the court is not at ease." Seeing Shaohua's expression on his face that the turmoil in Lingjing had something to do with Yan Kaizhi, Li Sinian said again: "The people stationed in Lingjing are all Xing Yongbo's subordinates back then. ”

Although Lingjing is not more important than northern Sichuan, but it is also one of the passes, when Xingyongbo was framed for rebellion, one of the reasons for the emperor's anger was that once the spiritual realm was lost, northern Sichuan alone could not protect Liangcheng, and once Liangcheng was broken, the capital was in danger.

"Then will it be dangerous for him to go, is he going to war?" Shaohua clenched his little fists nervously and stared at Li Sinian with a serious face.

"That's not going to happen, it's not so critical to fight, after all, it's an old subordinate of Xingyong Bofu, let him go to power should be the people's heart. It's the same as letting the second prince go to Huaicheng. Li Sinian knew that Shaohua had always been very attentive to Yan Kaizhi, and if he didn't tell her, he would inevitably be complained about afterwards.

"When are you leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow."
