Donggong Zhangjiao

The fifth prince's health is not good, and this disaster caused by the day after tomorrow is a tacit understanding in the palace.

Over the years, neither Pei Yao nor the Queen had stopped looking for a famous doctor for the fifth prince.

But the results were unsatisfactory.

After all, the longer the body is damaged by poison, the harder it will be to treat it.

However, the fifth prince was open to this matter.

I have always been cheerful, and I have never felt that there is anything wrong with having a shorter life span than others.

It is often said that this is the time when he will remain in his prime forever. In this way, everyone will only remember his richness and handsomeness, and will not know his wrinkled face and rickety figure.

But even though he behaved so cheerfully, the queen in the temple still felt guilty and prayed to the gods and Buddhas every day.

As the fifth prince grew older, he also understood his mother's thoughts, so he often went to the temple to accompany the queen and tried his best to show that he was in good health.

But no matter what, the worries in the Queen's heart could not be eliminated. She also hoped that the fifth prince would have a child soon so that her blood would not be cut off. Therefore, as soon as the fifth prince turned fifteen, she began to look for a suitable noble daughter. Want the fifth prince to get married.

But the fifth prince didn't want to get married.

He knows his physical condition. Even if the medicine he takes now has improved, it can only extend his life for two or three years at most. He was only twenty-two or three years old at that time. He died so early, leaving his wife and concubines behind for the rest of their lives. Be a widow for him alone.

He couldn't do this.

That will harm people for a lifetime.

Besides, the fifth prince didn't have a woman he liked, and he had no idea about getting married.

So I tried my best to delay it.

Whenever the Queen mentioned the matter of getting married, he would avoid it and put it off like this.

Later, on the birthday of the fifth prince, he went to the national temple to celebrate the birthday with the queen, but he saw the queen holding his childhood clothes in front of the Buddha statue and crying silently.

Minsi came over, with red eyes, and told the fifth prince in a low voice that the queen had been coming here all these years, and now her only wish was to see the fifth prince get married.

"Even if Your Highness just got married and left no heirs, it will at least make the Queen feel relieved." Minsi's tone was almost pleading.

The fifth prince was silent.

After celebrating his birthday that day, the fifth prince left the Buddhist temple and sent his people to do something for him.

Find a woman who is willing to be a widow to marry him.

He didn't have many requirements. As long as his family background and appearance were acceptable, he could just ask his father and mother.

I didn't have much expectations, and I never thought that in three months, the people below would actually find one.

The girl's surname is Qin. Her father is only a fifth-rank official. She is the eldest daughter of her original wife. However, because her biological mother died young and her father married a second wife, her life is not easy. Now her stepmother wants to take her away. Stuff it into a continuation string for his natal nephew.

Her stepmother's natal nephew was involved in everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. His original wife was beaten to death by him while he was drunk. Naturally, Miss Qin would not marry such a person.

So in order to save herself, she took the matter to the Yamen, and together with the family of the girl who was beaten to death, she sued her stepmother's family.

Things are going on.

As soon as he heard this situation, the fifth prince understood in his heart.

If Miss Qin makes such a fuss, she will definitely be able to get out of the current predicament she is currently in, but she will also offend her stepmother to death. People in the future will still have a hard time living under the roof.

So someone should be needed now to take advantage of her.

Although his family background is relatively low, he has a strong temper, decisive methods, and dares to fight. He is a courageous person.

The fifth prince thought for a while and decided to personally check the details of Miss Qin.

The news we got was that before Miss Qin got her hairpin, she was timid and docile, but after she got her hairpin, her stepmother plotted to send her to a wealthy local businessman's house as a concubine. After she resisted with all her strength, she changed. temper.

At home, I was arguing with my stepmother, which was very lively.

If she didn't have a biased and confused father, I'm afraid this stepmother really wouldn't be her opponent. After getting this news, the fifth prince became more and more curious.

Is this transformation after experiencing life and death?
With such curiosity and exploration, the fifth prince hid his identity, looked for suitable opportunities, and slowly came into contact with Miss Qin several times.

Gradually, he found that this girl did meet his requirements.

What Miss Qin urgently needs now is to get rid of these disgusting people from her mother's family, and it is best that her mother's family does not dare to harass her anymore.

This is naturally a piece of cake for the fifth prince.

Marrying him is a leap of status and class in today's world. How dare you mess with someone who is just a fifth-grade official.

Secondly, Miss Qin said that with someone like her father in front of her, she has no expectations for starting a family. In the future, she can be alone and beautiful, and have no worries about food and clothing throughout her life. That is the best thing.

Naturally, these five princes can also be satisfied.

He won't live long anyway. When he is gone, Qin, as his widow, will naturally be able to fulfill the above wishes.

After repeated inquiries, the fifth prince spoke out.

When Miss Qin heard this, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the fifth prince as if he were a living Bodhisattva.

He immediately extended his hand and said, "Your Highness, happy cooperation!"

The fifth prince found it funny and didn't know what kind of etiquette she meant.

Miss Qin, who failed to shake hands, didn't care much. She just smiled and began to discuss the requirements for the show with the fifth prince.

Yes, I want to show it to the Queen.

It was also at this time that the fifth prince learned that Miss Qin's name was Qin Shu.

According to Qin Shu, what she is most satisfied with is the name her father gave her. Every time her father and stepmother angrily call her by her full name, she wants to reply, "Good nephew."

It was she who mentioned this, and the fifth prince silently told himself that he could not call her by her full name in the future.

Wouldn't it be better to demote yourself?

Of course this is all idle talk.

Soon, the fifth prince brought Qin Shu to the national temple to meet the queen.

The fifth prince gave special instructions in advance, and Qin Shu was also smart, so after some contact, the queen was very satisfied.

However, when asked about her family background, the queen's expression turned a little pale when she learned that Qin Shu's father was only from the fifth rank and was still on an unimportant job.

After finding an excuse to send Qin Shu away, he told the fifth prince that Qin Shu was good, but her family background was not enough to be a main wife, and even a concubine was not qualified. If she really liked her, she could just be brought into the palace and become a concubine.

If she is lucky, she can make her a concubine after giving birth to a child.

But the fifth prince said that he would not marry anyone other than Qin Shu. The two fell in love at first sight and were already committed to each other for life.

He also said that he would not live long and would be just an idle king in the future, without the help of a wife or clan. Moreover, if he married someone he didn't like, he would not touch her at all, so how could he have any heirs?
If there were too many women in the back house and there would be overt and covert fighting, his body would not be able to withstand the torment.

At this time, Qin Shu also joined in to perform.

With tears in his eyes, he knelt down and kowtowed to the queen.

She said that she did not seek status, as long as she could stay with the fifth prince. No matter whether she was born, old, sick or dead, rich or poor, she only wanted the fifth prince and wanted nothing else.

The fifth prince almost believed what he said.

The queen saw this and took a step back in the end.

Qin Shu can enter the fifth prince's house, but she is not the main concubine, but can only be a side concubine.

But this was enough for the fifth prince. (End of chapter)
