The angry eldest lady sat on the chair next to her and cried, only feeling that it was not easy for her to manage these things for the Shen family, and she was so angry for no reason.

When Shen Yuxin came with King Qi's congratulatory gift, the eldest lady's eyes were still red, and she just wiped away her tears, and the whole person looked a little haggard.

couldn't help but ask the reason with concern, and after listening to the eldest lady finish the matter, Shen Yuxin suddenly understood what Shen Chongmao meant, and immediately persuaded him gently.

"Mother, you blame Daddy for this matter, Daddy did it all for us, for Yuyao's sake. ”

The eldest lady listened to her eldest daughter say this, and did not ask the reason, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and felt much more comfortable, so she asked, "What do you mean? What does this have to do with Yu Yao?"

Hearing this, Shen Yuxin took the handkerchief, pressed the corner of her eyes for the eldest lady, and then poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and then said softly: "What does the mother think of Yanbei Xiao Shizi?"

"You said the Xiao family of Yanbei Wang?" asked the eldest lady with a slight raised brow.

Shen Yuxin nodded, and then looked very disdainful: "How else can you look at it, this Yanbei Wang Xiao family is a heart disease in the emperor's heart, although this time although the prince of Yanbei entered Beijing to discuss Miss Xiao's family affairs, I am afraid that it is not a good thing, I see that the emperor will sooner or later make a move on the Xiao family, and it is not a good thing to have a relationship with them." ”

Saying that, the eldest lady still had a disapproving look on her face.

Shen Yuxin shook his head with a smile: "Mother, you are wrong." ”

"How?"

"The Xiao family has been guarding Yanbei, blocking the invasion of * Ji and Goryeo for Dayan, and seeing that the heavy troops in his hands are very high-powered, but the emperor will never move the Xiao family. Just because Dayan is inseparable from the Xiao family, if once the emperor makes a move against the Xiao family, when the Turks and Goryeo invade, Dayan will inevitably lose a large piece of territory. The emperor is a wise gentleman, and he knows in his heart which is more important, so he put forward the idea of making peace, in order to keep Xiao Shizi and Miss Xiao in Beijing as protons. The Xiao family has only two sons and one daughter, and if the prince and Miss Xiao are all left in the capital, King Yanbei already loves his children very much, so he naturally does not dare to mess around easily. And this Xiao Shizi is not clear in the capital, but her daughter heard what King Qi said, this Xiao Shizi is a talented person, and Yanbei will inevitably be entrusted to him in the future. Shen Yuxin said patiently.

The eldest lady frowned when she heard this, and she didn't have the temper just now, so she immediately asked, "Then what does this have to do with Yu Yao?

"That's what we want. If Yu Yao can really marry Xiao Shizi with his own relatives, the emperor will definitely give Yu Yao a certain reward for the sake of decency, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to block the mouths of the people of Yanbei. In this way, Yu Yao will not be able to sit on an equal footing with Hua Zhen. Besides, as long as Yu Yao can marry Xiao Shizi, when Xiao Shizi returns to Yanbei in the future, he will have a lot of power, and we can be regarded as having a reliance in our hands. When the time comes, with Yuyao in Yanbei, the emperor will be somewhat afraid of the Shen family's in-laws. ”

The eldest lady listened to Shen Yuxin's words, and she was a little moved, but she was still a little hesitant: "That's right, but this kind of thing is that the prince of Yanbei and his relatives are not just if we say that we want to marry Yuyao to him, we can marry him, but the emperor will give him a marriage." ”

Shen Yuxin listened, and kept the eldest lady's arm, very coquettish: "That's why Daddy did this, since there is some relationship between Hua Zhen and Xiao Shizi, Dad will invite these people to come over in the name of Hua Zhen, and naturally he will also invite Xiao Shizi." You must know that most of these people who came to give gifts are people from Prince Li's side, these people will definitely come in order to support Hua Zhen, and they are more or less in the court and have a certain status. When the time comes, Dad will spread the invitation, the prince of Yanbei is not stupid, seeing these important ministers of the court who came to the banquet, he will naturally want to come to contact one or two, and when the time comes, won't he give Yuyao a chance. ”

The eldest lady frowned slightly when she thought about it, and her face changed: "Yuxin, aren't you afraid that we will spend so much trouble and finally make a wedding dress for others?"

"Mother, what are you worried about?" Shen Yuxin looked at the eldest lady's face, knowing that she was only afraid of what she was thinking, and sure enough, he listened to the eldest lady's words.

"You have seen it yourself, this Hua Zhen was only crowned the county lord in the morning, and Xiao Shizi of Yanbei sent someone to send a congratulatory gift in the afternoon, and they put aside the face of our Shen Mansion and returned to the past to thank Xiao Shizi for saving his life. This has been so frequent before we have met, if we wait for him to come to our house, maybe he will touch the Zhixiang Garden behind him. The position of the princess of Yanbei is only afraid that it is in Hua Zhen's bag. The eldest lady said with a little disgust on her face, as if as long as she mentioned Hua Zhen, she couldn't help but feel disgust in her heart.

Shen Yuxin saw it in his eyes, but he laughed.

"What are you laughing at, don't you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

"Mother, think about it, even if the friendship between Hua Zhen and Xiao Shizi is deep, she still has this year's father's funeral, a year's time, even if Xiao Shizi can afford to wait, Yanbei can afford to wait, and the emperor can't afford to wait. Therefore, the position of the princess of Yanbei will fall on anyone's head, but it will not fall on her Hua Zhen's body, and the mother can only rest assured that everything will be lively. ”

Being said by Shen Yuxin, the eldest lady's heart felt a lot better, and she immediately took Shen Yuxin's hand and said repeatedly: "Fortunately, you are a smart person, otherwise this Shen family mother would have nothing to hope for." ”

Shen Yuxin listened but was coquettish in the arms of the eldest lady: "Mother, just scold me, who doesn't know that the most distressed and important thing about you is still the eldest brother, if the eldest brother is here, the mother will never say this." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the eldest lady: "Mother, has the eldest brother sent a letter saying when he will come back?"

Hearing this, the eldest lady shook her head: "Song Qiao has no news every time he goes out, and when he wants to come back, he will naturally come back." It is said that this time I went out to travel with Qin Huai, and I don't know what the benefits of traveling outside day by day are, and I follow Qin Huai all day long, this Qin Huai is a prodigal, what is good about following him. ”

"Mother, don't talk about big brother like that, big brother is a measured person, he naturally knows what he is doing and what is the benefit. Although Qin Huai said that he had no intention of inheriting the title of Dongjun Wang, he couldn't run away with this identity, after all, he was Qin Guifei's nephew and the queen mother's nephew. Even if there are more sons in the Dongjun Palace, no one can share half of his status. It's not bad for my brother to be with him, and this Qin Dagongzi is not joking when he travels around the Quartet, this is really worrying about Daliang, if my brother can follow Qin Dagongzi to make more friends, it is also good, my mother should not blame him. ”
