Chapter 43: Watchdogs

Han Changsheng was in a daze, and said in a daze: "...... No wonder, no wonder Prince Li didn't dare to marry a wife. Maybe although their Li family didn't want to marry the down-and-out Yu family girl, they still used the excuse that they had a marriage contract to prevaricate the eldest princess who was acting absurdly. ”

Xie Zhao let out a "hmm" and bowed his head slightly.

He's not stupid thoroughly.

Xie Zhao said lightly: "I have heard that the eldest princess of Pingyang did say that she wanted to recruit Li Suining as a concubine. Of course, Li Suining himself is naturally unwilling, and the Li family is naturally unwilling.

Li Suining's father, Li Suhe, is after all the Admiral of the Nine Gates, the military general in charge of the safety of Zhaoge City, and the eldest princess of Pingyang does not dare to stretch out her hand to the front of the court no matter how ridiculous it is, so she never dares to persecute the Li family.

However, looking at the entire Zhaoge City, almost all the official eunuchs know that the eldest princess of Pingyang is such a bastard, and she has been guarding Li Suining's 'fragrant and sweet' like a 'vicious dog staring at meat'...... You can't afford to provoke it, you can always afford to hide, right?

I think it is precisely because of this that Li Suining's marriage was delayed. I privately think that it is better for you not to go to this troubled water. ”

Han Changsheng nodded, "She naturally doesn't dare to force the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion too much, this eldest princess is not the emperor's half-sister after all, but a first-order concubine." If you are too arrogant and make the emperor unhappy, where will you have a good life? ”

He thought for a moment and said very incomprehensibly, "But it's still so strange! ”

Ling He looked at him: "What's so strange?" ”

Han Changsheng frowned, and said incomprehensibly: "What else can be strange, naturally it is the little emperor and the Bai family are strange!" - Everyone in the world knows that Xie Lin Shangzhuguo and Bai Mengxian are not harmonious, and Empress Xie and Bai Guifei are not harmonious.

In this case, why did the little emperor marry the daughter of the Bai family and become the queen? This queen Xiao Bai is his mother's rival Bai Taigui's niece? ”

Ling He thought about it silently, and also shook his head: "The affairs of the Heavenly Family, the complexity of which is not known to us idlers who wander the rivers and lakes. ”

Yu An'an was also a little puzzled.

Although she was born away from the chaos of Zhaoge, the education she received in Wenmo since she was a child came from her mother Ning, who seems to be cowardly and gentle, but she is actually very intelligent.

She said thoughtfully, "yes...... Although the Xie family is not prosperous now, most of the Xie sons with names and surnames have sacrificed their lives for the country, but after all, there are still people in the Xie family now.

Not to mention anything else, Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, is the spiritual leader of today's court officials and literati, although he heard that the county king has a calm and quiet temperament, but he is also very powerful among civil officials.

In the past, my maternal grandfather was called 'Ning Banchao', because the other half of the officials in the court were from the Xunyang Xie family.

- Since Your Majesty has such a powerful maternal family, why does he still marry the daughter of the Bai family, doesn't this make the descendants of the Xie family ...... Embarrassed and faceless? ”

Ling He frowned and did not say a word.

Xie Zhao, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly smiled with an uncertain expression, her tone was cold, with a sourness that she didn't even notice.

"Even if the Xie family used to be beautiful again, now after all, they have not asked about the court for a long time, and the king of Xunyang County himself is even more idle.

He is the emperor's elder and the emperor's uncle, so if you want to have such a relationship, this person...... It is natural to have some scruples when you use it, and with scruples, it will naturally not be so easy. ”

The three of them were stunned, as if they were pondering the meaning of her words.

However, Xie Zhao had already interrupted them with a gentle wave of his hand, bringing the conversation back to the point.

"So, An'an, have you thought about it? What do you think about the Li family? ”

Yu Anan was stunned at first, and then hung his head silently.

She thought quietly for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Ah Zhao, I've already thought about it, people are precious in themselves." Although I don't want to be presumptuous, Zhaoge City is a place where you have to look at your background and power everywhere.

My father has been dead for many years, and although my grandfather still has a remnant of shelter, the Yu family is no longer a powerful official in Zhaoge. I'm just a small citizen of Shengdou, and I don't want to provoke the rights and wrongs of Zhaoge City.

Since this is the case, then I might as well send that half of the jade jue back to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion early tomorrow morning, and from now on, it doesn't matter what the eldest princess she is, or the eldest prince of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, it has nothing to do with me Yu An'an. ”

A smile of relief flashed in Xie Zhao's eyes, she looked at her quietly, making sure that she had really made up her mind, so she nodded lightly and said:

"It's okay, the population of the Yu family is simple, but in fact, with your temperament, it is not suitable for marrying into a family with complex interpersonal relationships like the Admiral's Mansion. If you have made up your mind, you will get out early, and tomorrow we will go with you. ”

Ling Or also nodded, his words were few, and his tone was not heavy, but he had a sense of security.

He said, "You don't have to be afraid, we are here. ”

Han Changsheng nodded again and again, he stood up without seeing it, patted Ling He's shoulder vigorously, and said with a full heart:

"β€”That's it! Aren't we afraid of their Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, isn't it the twenty-four-year-old Mahayana realm? What's the big deal! Did you see that? Your eldest brother Ling is now a nineteen-year-old dignified saint king realm, and he has fallen for several streets with his eldest son Li! If they try to embarrass you or force you to stay, then we will kill them! ”

A trace of emotion flashed in Yu An'an's eyes, and their words undoubtedly dispelled the uneasiness in her heart at this time.

She nodded heavily, smiling and browning her eyebrows.

β€œ...... Well! ”

Early the next morning, a few people got up early in the morning, and after a simple tidying up, they had breakfast at the inn, and then went straight to the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

- That's true, without a moment's delay.

As Xie Zhao said in Ruyang City before, she seems to have really come to Zhaoge and is very familiar with the streets of the four directions. She led them around and around to take a lot of shortcuts, and soon arrived at the door of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

Han Changsheng stepped forward to negotiate first, he took a few steps up the steps, and said to the guard in front of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion:

"This big brother, please help us pass it through, a few of us have something important to ask to see Master Li."

The guards at the gate of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion are accustomed to seeing dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, and they have always had eyes above the top, and their eyes are vicious.

At a glance, he could see that the young men and girls standing in front of the door were dressed shabbyly, and at first glance they were not from noble familiesβ€”there was even a girl with a blue and black birthmark, which was very ugly.

He subconsciously frowned, and said indifferently:

"Please."

Han Changsheng was stunned.

"Bye-on? What kind of prayer? ”

He looked back at Yu An'an, and after seeing Yu An'an shake his head slightly, he turned his head again and said with a smile:

"This big brother, we ...... We didn't have a prayer, why? Can't you see Master Li without a prayer post? ”
