The weak princess is super fierce

Lu Sen smiled happily: "You still have to nod to achieve your life-long event. Don't worry about this. With eldest brother here, even your father and mother can't force you to marry a girl you don't want to marry."

"Then if I already have a wife in mind, no matter who it is, will my eldest brother support me?" Lu Luo took the opportunity to ask.

Lu Sen raised his eyebrows: "First of all, the girl must agree to marry you. Otherwise, even if I support you, it will be useless."

"She will agree sooner or later." Lu Luo said with great confidence.

Lu Sen was noncommittal on his face, but he was confused in his heart.

He probably knew who his younger brother was talking about.

According to Miss Meng's outrageous temperament, if she is really willing to marry her younger brother, and the younger brother is so happy that Miss Meng is so happy that she already has the idea of ​​getting married, then marriage can be achieved. If nothing else, she can control the younger brother. Brother, that is definitely a done deal.

And he felt suspended for two reasons.

For one thing, although Miss Meng is weak in body, she has an aggressive temperament and is very independent-minded. She may not like her younger brother who is such a messy and dishonest son-in-law.

Secondly, the Meng family is the maternal family of the late Empress Meng of the late Yuan Dynasty, and is the maternal family of the current East Palace. The Lu family is the maternal family of the current Central Palace, and is the maternal family of the second prince. They are originally hostile.

Otherwise, if the legitimate daughter wanted to marry into the East Palace, although he would not object, he had never really created an opportunity for the legitimate daughter to get married to the Crown Prince. The fundamental reason was the opposition between the Lu and Meng palaces. .

Although the two governments still maintain a peaceful state on the surface, the facts are there and no one can ignore them.

Therefore, the main reason why he felt suspended was the second one.

No matter how hard they try, unless the Queen and Her Highness give up the fight for the crown prince's position, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Qiao Qiancheng has already requested the imperial edict and will leave Beijing tomorrow afternoon and return to Lingnan to guard the city.

Qiao Wanji didn't have much idea, but was secretly glad that Qiao Qiancheng returned to Beijing and accepted the couple's arguments, and did not put all the blame on the couple for Qiao Sang's unexpected death.

As soon as his brother left the capital, the drowning incident of his niece would come to an end, and he would no longer have to worry about it.

Mrs. Qiao Er had other ideas. She had long had the idea of ​​letting Qiao Qiancheng, the eldest brother-in-law, promote her son. Last year, when Mr. Qiao Er died of snake venom in Lingnan, this idea became stronger.

Qiao Tai is a scholar, but his academic ability is average. Like Qiao Wanji, he is not a good candidate for studying.

Back then, Qiao Wanji was able to enter the official career without the help of Qiao Qiancheng. Now she also wants Qiao Qiancheng to help Qiao Tai's future.

With her husband's career as a fifth-grade doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette ending, she had no intention of letting her son with the same average talent become a civil servant again, especially after seeing her eldest brother-in-law become a military general and become one of the four generals. With her majestic appearance, her desire to have her son join the army to strive for military glory became increasingly strong.

It's just that she has been suffering from not having the opportunity to express her request to Qiao Qiancheng who is far away in Lingnan.

Now because of Qiao Sang's death, Qiao Qiancheng rushed thousands of miles back to the capital to see Qiao Sang buried. She felt that this was an opportunity given to her by God! At first, like her husband, she was afraid that her elder brother-in-law would blame the couple for the death of Sister Sang's son. From then on, she would despise their second wife and even want to separate from them.

But she was worrying too much.

The eldest brother-in-law not only did not blame them, but also did not want to separate the family. He was going to leave tomorrow. Today, he told the couple that they would have to take care of their bedridden sister-in-law in the future.

In this way, her worries were completely gone.

Once her worries were gone, her courage grew again.

"Our son's future depends on you and me. Before he leaves, go and tell him that when he returns to Lingnan this time, take our son with him!" Mrs. Qiao Er encouraged Qiao Wanji not to miss this. Chance.

Qiao Wanji stared at Mrs. Qiao as if she were a madman: "My son is studying well, why would he go to a dangerous place like Nanman? Are you sick and confused?"

"I'm not sick! Don't you want your son to become one of the four generals like your uncle one day, so that you and I can feel proud in front of others?" Mrs. Qiao Er felt that Qiao Wanji was really brainless, let alone promising, "Lingnan It's dangerous, but it's not dangerous. Can you earn military merit? Don't forget, when the eldest brother-in-law first joined the army, he had nothing and didn't know anything. Later, he relied on the military merit he earned to climb the ladder step by step. Take the position of General Zhennan!"

"The military merits earned by the eldest brother are all obtained by licking blood from the edge of a knife and fighting with one's life!" Qiao Wanji is the only son of Qiao Tai. He does not want his son to go to Lingnan and follow in the footsteps of his nephew. "Our son will I read poetry and books diligently when I was young, and although my talents and learning are not outstanding, they are not so bad that I have to sacrifice my life in exchange for military glory!"

Mrs. Qiao Er asked angrily: "Then you want your son to be like you. Even if you want to get an official position, you have to go through the back door of your eldest brother-in-law. As a result, after so many years, he is still unable to get up or down. He will always be a fifth-grade man in the same place. official!"

Qiao Wanji sneered and said: "Now you ask me to tell my eldest brother that I will take my son to Lingnan to earn military merit. With his weak appearance, what kind of military merit can he earn? In the end, I have to rely on my eldest brother to provide his son with a back door!"

"Father is right, my son won't go." Qiao Tai listened outside the door for a while and felt that it was time for him to express his stance, so he crossed the threshold and stepped into the flower hall.

"What's right! It's about your future..."

"The mother also knows that it is her son's future, and the son has the right to decide."

Qiao Tai interrupted Mrs. Qiao's arbitrary actions and said to Qiao Wan: "Father does not need to go to uncle. My son knows that he is not a military commander. Not to mention that uncle has no intention of taking his son to Lingnan. Even if he does, When my son goes to Lingnan, let alone earn military honors, even if he wants to save his life, it will not be easy."

"It's because you are as useless as your father that your uncle would rather bring an outsider to teach him than you!" Mrs. Qiao Er angrily scolded the father and son.

Qiao Qiancheng took Meng Renji with him for two days and lived in the backyard of Qiao's residence. All three of them knew about this.

As for the reason why Qiao Qiancheng brought Meng Renji with him, the three of them also had their own guesses.

But no matter how they guessed, they had actually thought in their hearts that the young master might be the son Qiao Qiancheng wanted to adopt after losing his legitimate son.

After all, Mrs. Qiao was ill, and Qiao Qiancheng had no concubines to live with her. Now that both of her children were dead, it was only human nature to want an adopted son to inherit the legacy of Qiao's mansion.
