Chapter 115

The performance of the concubine was handed to the capital, and it was quickly approved. The rewards that come with it are also very rich.

The emperor has always been forced by Xiao Yanxing to back down during this time, and now his attitude towards Xiao Yanxing has changed slightly, and he has reached the point where he is tired when he sees his twists and turns. If it weren't for important things, he couldn't back down, and he would rather be satisfied with some small things than get too entangled with Xiao Yanxing. Concubine Feng easily let him go.

However, what is shocking is that at the same time as the concubine was presented to the capital, there was also the birth of a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses of the emperor's eldest son.

As soon as this incident broke out, it immediately caused quite a stir.

You must know that before the first crown princess died, she cried blood every word, accusing Xiao Yanxing of being inhumane and harming their nobles. At that time, as soon as the news came out, it was publicized by the current prince.

Many people did not dare to stand in line to abolish the crown prince, and a large part of the reason was that they were worried that Xiao Yanxing would have no queen.

Now that his eldest son has been born, the rumors are self-defeating. The suicide notes of the former crown princess who once accused her have become fake.

Not to mention that this result makes people even more suspicious of the current prince's mind, and it is really impossible to maliciously smear the abolished prince for the sake of old grudges.

Xiao Chenghuan was so angry with this remark that he closed the door and cursed Xiao Yanxing loudly. It is said that the emperor was also taken aback when he saw this result. He attributed Xiao Yanxing's humanity to himself. After all, it was he who ordered someone to forcibly administer medicine, which broke through the inhumane disease of this eldest son and allowed him to give birth normally. Counting the time, I guess he cured the illness of the eldest son, and the two children were born.

The Emperor smiled coldly, and he inadvertently helped the kid.

Based on the emperor's always believing that this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses was the result of his intervention, he inexplicably had a special care for these two children. Naturally, he was not stingy when he rewarded him, and he gave it very generously. And in order to deliberately disgust Xiao Yanxing, he deliberately gave the eldest son in the dragon and phoenix womb the position of the son.

Under normal circumstances, the eldest son of a vassal king can be canonized as a prince. And Xiao Yanxing is not a vassal king, but the eldest son of an emperor with a fief. He is now dead in the main room, and the second room has not yet entered the door. So far, there is no son-in-law. The emperor's move directly nailed the position of the prince to the eldest son born of a concubine. Where will this move leave Xiao Yanxing's future son-in-law? What do you think in the heart of the eldest princess who has not entered the door?

It can be said that this move is simply disgustingly vicious!

Not only did Xiao Yanxing's backyard be restless, but it also fundamentally restricted Xiao Yanxing's way to marry a noble girl from a high family to win over power. After all, the position of the son of the world has been given, how will the heirs born in the main room deal with themselves in the future? Which noblewoman from a prominent background is willing to suffer this grievance?

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar inside and outside the court.

I have to say that the emperor's move, to a certain extent, also greatly curbed the secret actions of some families who tried to cling to Xiao Yanxing. After all, most of them are here for this benefit. They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Without this mouthful of fat, who is willing to spend a lot of money to fight for a future that cannot come out? Naturally, I was unwilling, and I naturally rested on this heart.

At this time, the news of canonization had not yet been handed back to Liangzhou, but Xiao Yanxing received the Flying Eagle Transmission early.

Regarding the emperor's pressing the position of the eldest son on the head of the eldest son, Xiao Yanxing was not annoyed by this. His father, the emperor, was commanded by him, and it was impossible to come back without tossing something to retaliate. Besides, Xiao Yanxing didn't plan to give the Sui family's heirs in the first place, so naturally there was no sister-in-law. Xiao Yanxing felt annoyed that the emperor gave his son the title of unknown prince.

The old guy is trying to put him in the position of the vassal king!

"Master," Mo Sui was a little worried, the emperor's intentions were too suitable, "The little prince is ...... over there"

"Send more people." Xiao Yanxing stretched the paper under the candle flame, and a bright and beating flame jumped under his eyes. Tongues of fire curled around the edges of the paper, quickly burning it to ashes. His long eyelashes twitched slightly, and he casually threw the dried paper into the copper basin.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the burnt note quietly, thinking about something else. The Sui family will definitely make trouble here, but Xiao Yanxing is not afraid of them. The eldest son now lives in the small courtyard of the Wang family, and has nothing to do with the Xiao family's back house. It seems that there are only two nurses around to take care of him, but in fact, he has long been controlled by him. I don't dare to say that not a single fly protected by it can fly in, but it is almost as far as an iron bucket.

Xiao Yanxing had suffered too much from the harem when he was a child, and he would not allow anyone to let his children suffer the same sin.

Not only did he arrange guards from the inside out, but he also secretly straightened out the people around Wang Shu. Shu'er's temperament is too forgiving. It's a good thing for her to meet someone who knows how to repay her kindness. If you encounter someone with a bad heart, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss, and I don't know why I will suffer. As for the nurses with two children, Xiao Yanxing also ordered someone to control their families.

It doesn't matter if these two nurses are sincere or not, and what their temperament is. When it comes to children, Xiao Yanxing asks for absolute control.

Some things have been arranged a long time ago, and Xiao Yanxing will never talk empty words. Since he said that he would give Wang Shu a certain degree of freedom, he naturally would not let these things become stumbling blocks.

Wang Shu originally wanted to discuss with him and strive to be free to go out of the house as in the past, but Xiao Yanxing did not ask her to go back to Xiao's house at all.

“…… Are you serious? "It stands to reason that after Xiao Yanxing's identity was restored, everyone changed their words to call His Highness. But Wang Shu was used to shouting, so she couldn't change the title, "I live outside like this, and the concubine you want to marry in the future won't have an opinion because of this?" ”

"Why should there be an opinion?" Xiao Yanxing's attitude was calm and a little arrogant.

Of course there are opinions! A side concubine with children can also live outside with her children uncontrollably. Isn't this the same as starting from scratch?

Xiao Yanxing slowly took the handkerchief and wiped off the mud on Wang Shu's cheek.

As he grew older, Xiao Yanxing became more and more handsome. The deep contours of his cheeks make him look beautiful that is not like a real person. At this time, he was full of course: "That house was originally an outer house, and I bought it at the beginning, and it was used as a temporary place to stay, not a serious residence." It's okay if you don't want to move back in. As for the concubine, if she marries, she will only live in the prince's mansion in Liangzhou. I won't come here to stay. If you think that today's small courtyard is crowded, I will buy another village in the western suburbs. ”

Wang Shu: "......" Is she thinking that her small courtyard is crowded?

was speechless, but Wang Shu could see Xiao Yanxing's attitude. This guy's attitude didn't reassure the Sui family girl at all.

"When children grow up, they should have their own courtyards. It's definitely not okay to have only one nurse around to serve you. Xiao Yanxing finished wiping her cheeks, and caught a glimpse of the dried mud on the back of Wang Shu's hand. This girl is sloppy, and when she comes back to him, she doesn't know how to change her clothes and wash up. He took her hand and ordered water to be brought into the house.

Pulled someone to sit down and wiped the muddy marks on her fingers for her.

"Slaves and maids should also be picked as soon as possible, and the longer they follow, the more heartfelt they will be in the future." Xiao Yanxing wiped her hands and taught her, "Don't underestimate the twists and turns here. A loyal servant can sometimes change a life. ”

Wang Shu is aware of many powerful classes in feudal society, and the selection of subordinates is from a young age. In some families, personal slaves and maids only use the family to have children, so as to ensure absolute heartetity. But her two children were only a few months old, and it was not yet time to choose a personal attendant. After all, children who are too young can't take care of them if they always come to the front, and they are neither light nor heavy. Besides, she always insisted that future generations do not use child labor, which made her feel guilty. The limit that Wang Shu can accept is that the age of the slave cannot be less than fourteen years old.

Speaking of this, Wang Shu couldn't help but think of herself, and she also realized at this time that the fundamental reason why she was trapped in the yard by the Mao family and couldn't get out was that there were no people around her who grew up together.

No one really protected her, no one really considered her, so she fell into a master who was sold as a concubine by her stepmother.

"Here's how it goes...... Isn't it too early to pick? Wang Shu thought she was picking a little maid.

"Not early." Xiao Yanxing lowered his eyes and wiped them one by one, "The maid who waits with you can wait for the child to pick and choose when he is four or five years old, and the upbringing of the grandmother needs to be arranged early." In the future, these people will become the most effective assistants around the child. The earlier you choose, the better the affection. The two nurses around them can be used, but they are still a little hot in terms of rules and knowledge, so they have to find someone else. ”

Wang Shu frowned.

She can naturally understand Xiao Yanxing's hard work. He is the biological father of the child, so he naturally thinks about the child sincerely.

"Are you going to pick?" Wang Shu's ability to recognize people is definitely not as good as Xiao Yanxing.

"Hmm." Xiao Yanxing nodded, "Do you want to see it?" ”

Although Xiao Yanxing definitely has no ill will towards the child, Wang Shu does not dare to guarantee whether he has other plans. Of course, her own children can't be the shopkeeper: "When you choose someone, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Xiao Yanxing bent the corners of his eyes. The light shone through the window screen on his eyebrows, a ripple of color.

The next man happened to bring water. And with that, a clean set of clothes. Wang Shu rushed over from the experimental field, and when she came back, she came directly to find Xiao Yanxing, and did not go back to her house. At this time, she noticed that the next person carried the bath bucket into Xiao Yanxing's study, and she suddenly looked up at Xiao Yanxing. Under the light, his eyes flickered with a small light, leisurely.

Speaking of which, since Wang Shu was pregnant to giving birth, the two have not been close for a long time.

Xiao Yanxing is an extremely restrained person. also saw Wang Shu's worries, and did not force Wang Shu to accept him. But during this period of time, she no longer excludes him from holding her and sleeping with him, Xiao Yanxing will naturally gain an inch.

"I'm not going to regenerate." Wang Shu saw through him.

"Hmm." Xiao Yanxing has read some medical skills, and knows that pregnancy hurts a woman's body very much, "Don't give birth, but you should wash up." ”

Xiao Yanxing's gaze fell from her cheeks and fell on her. Wang Shu followed his gaze and looked down and saw mud spots on his sleeves and skirt. Her face flushed for a moment, and she realized that she was overthinking. Suddenly, he couldn't hold back his face: "What am I doing to you?" You're the one who pulled me here, not me trying to squeeze in with you! ”

"I don't think you," Xiao Yanxing laughed, his eyebrows were full of small smiles, "Aren't you uncomfortable wearing dirty clothes?" ”

"I'm not uncomfortable!" Wang Shu stiffened her neck and said forcefully: "I love dirty!" I'm engaged in farming, what's wrong with rolling in the mud! Besides, the people in the world rely on this land for food and drink, why do you still think that this land is dirty to give birth to you and raise you! ”

Xiao Yanxing didn't care when she yelled at her, let her make hot water, and let her go to the inner room to wash.

"Well, I'm not grateful, I did it wrong." Xiao Yanxing said lazily, "You go wash up, and come with me to Xiao's house in a while." The nurturing grandma selected for the child, you come with me to take a look. ”

His coaxing tone made Wang Shu choke in one breath, pursed her lips, and she turned around and went in to wash.

……

Xiao Yanxing's actions, except for the people of the Xiao family, people outside can't find out at all. The Sui family could hear some rumors, but it was a few months later that the Sui family heard the rumors. Sui Nuanzhi negotiated with Xiao Yanxing this time, but he was not in a hurry to go back. She was stunned to stay in Lin'an County for more than a month, and she didn't find any other news, so she could only return in a huff.

It seems that if she wants to find out the news in his house under Xiao Yanxing's nose, she doesn't have that ability.

The Sui family left, and Xiao Yanxing only raised his eyebrows in response. For Sui Nuanzhi, his fiancée, Xiao Yanxing can't talk about hating it. A smart person is better than a stupid person. If you are afraid, you will be afraid, and you will be wise.

"Master, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on you?" Ouyang Xu is the person who is secretly responsible for the security of Lin'an County.

"Send someone to watch." At present, Sui Nuanzhi is smarter than the Liang and Hua clans in front of him, at least he can understand people's words.

The Sui family didn't know that Xiao Yanxing had been secretly sending people to keep an eye on them. When they learned that the emperor had pressed the position of the prince to the eldest son of the emperor's eldest son, they couldn't sit still at the moment. Especially Sui Nuanzhi's father and brother, they jumped up as the first one. The posture of rushing to the crown in anger was eager to rush to Liangzhou Mansion to reason with Xiao Yanxing face to face.

"What a fuss!" Sui Yuesheng had a headache when he saw his eldest son, "You are squeaking at home, dare to go to His Highness to make a fuss!" ”

"Dad, Dad, can you bear this?!" The Sui family was so angry that they blushed and their necks were thick: "The position of the son of the world has been given, what will we do with our Nuan'er children in the future?" Could it be that Nuan'er's child, as a sister-in-law, has to make way for the eldest son?! How can there be such a truth in the world! ”

"That's it, grandpa, what about the children of Nuanzhi?" The Sui family and grandson were also anxious, so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.

"People haven't married yet, and you're in a hurry before you have a shadow?" Sui Yuesheng was very calm, looking at his eldest son and eldest grandson, he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.

"Where can this not be in a hurry!" The son of the Sui family couldn't see his father's style, and he was so anxious that his scalp was numb, "Dad, can you still sit still?" Didn't we let Nuanzhi marry in the first place, just so that we could sit firmly in the position of the queen in the future and give birth to the next ......"

"Shut up!" Before the Sui family finished speaking, he was stopped by his father with a cold shout, "If you dare to talk nonsense, get out of here!" ”

"Daddy!"

The Sui family didn't expect that he was thinking about his family, and his father still had such an attitude.

"Get out!"

The grandson of the Sui family saw that his father was blasted out by his grandfather so shamelessly. He looked at his grandfather, who was sitting at the desk with a look hidden in the smoke and dust, and suddenly felt a wave of anger in his heart: "Since grandpa doesn't look down on our long house like this, why did he choose Nuanzhi in the first place?" Nuan Zhi and Lu Sheng are so affectionate, you forcibly break them up, is it just to let Nuan Zhi's life pave the way for the second room? ”

"Presumptuous!" Sui Yuesheng hasn't been angry for many years, and this cold person was almost not angry with the eldest grandson, "You get out of here too!" You're like your father, a brainless stupid thing! ”

The grandson of the Sui family was scolded so much that his face turned red, and he was also angry at the moment, so he turned his head and ran away.

bumped into the second uncle on the way, and he didn't apologize.

The father and son in the second room of the Sui family looked at the back of the long room running away one after the other, and their hearts choked like a ball of straw. With his brother's temperament, how did he give birth to Nuanzhi's thoughtful child?

The father and son entered the study, and the door was closed, and it was not opened for a long time.

At this time, the attitude of the Sui family did not mention it, and said that the emperor's operation was confusing and uneasy. This uneasy person is naturally a person from the East Palace. Although the emperor sent Ye Huiqiong to the cold palace, he did not abolish Xiao Chenghuan's position as the crown prince. While Xiao Chenghuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was also even more panicked. He clearly felt that the attitude of his father, who loved him, had changed.

He pondered the changes between them all the time, and heard about Xiao Yanxing's various behaviors. Knowing that he opened his mouth to ask for a quota of 10,000 private soldiers, the emperor actually agreed without blinking. Panic becomes an irresolvable uneasiness.

What exactly does the father mean? Has his father forgiven him?

He couldn't figure it out, without Qin Liansheng accurately conveying the emperor's thoughts to him, he wouldn't have judged at all.

Xiao Chenghuan realized how important Qin Liansheng was to him at this time. When the emperor wanted to drown Qin Liansheng, he should have found a way to save it. It is that this person can no longer serve by the emperor's side, but after many years of speculating about the emperor's intentions, Qin Liansheng has never made a mistake. But at that time, Xiao Chenghuan was worried that he would be angry with the emperor if he pleaded for mercy, so he turned a blind eye to Qin Liansheng's plea for help.

"Damn it!" Xiao Chenghuan is like a trapped beast in a cage, unable to find an exit, "One wrong step, one wrong step!" Who the hell poked this out? was caught by Lone, and Lone will break his body into thousands of pieces! ”

The blood relationship between Qin Liansheng and Ye Huiqiong, Xiao Chenghuan has never known. Until the eve of the accident, when rumors suddenly spread in the harem that the two were sisters and brothers, Xiao Chenghuan felt ridiculous and ridiculous. He said in his heart, it was impossible for anyone to believe such outrageous rumors, and it could not be true at all, so he didn't care about it. Who would have thought that what he thought was impossible had come true.

The emperor handled it very decisively and did not give him a chance to argue. When Xiao Chenghuan knew about the matter, everything was a foregone conclusion. He patronized anger and evaded implication, and now that the turmoil had passed, he remembered to pursue the culprit.

Who spread the rumors, in fact, it is not difficult to check, after all, it is not clean at all. Just ask a little bit and you'll be able to ask.

"It's the spirit concubine of Changle Palace."

Xiao Chenghuan naturally had a very deep impression of this spirit concubine. After all, as soon as she appeared, she replaced his mother, who had been favored for twenty years, and stole all the glory, who could not be impressed by her?

"Is that her?" Xiao Chenghuan was not surprised at all, "How did she know?" ”

Concubine Ling is just a newcomer who has been in the palace for less than a year, how can she have the ability to find out the old things more than 20 years ago? It's clear that there's someone behind it.

Everyone can guess that there is someone behind Concubine Ling, but it is not necessarily who the person behind her is. Many people speculate that it was Xiao Yanxing, the eldest son of the emperor, after all, it was Xiao Yanxing who benefited the most from this matter. Except for him, no one else. But Xiao Yanxing was driven out of the capital for seven years, and he may not have this means to find out the old things in the harem. Xiao Chenghuan is reluctant to admit that he has this ability.

"Does the spirit concubine look a little like that person?" Xiao Chenghuan still heard about how Concubine Ling was favored.

"I heard that it is very similar to the former queen." The palace man immediately replied.

"Xiao Yanxing's arrogant temperament will never allow anyone to desecrate his mother. If Concubine Ling was really so similar to that person, it must not be Xiao Yanxing's hand. Xiao Chenghuan sneered, "It is estimated that the person behind him made a move, and Xiao Yanxing just caught up." ”
