lucky star girl

Chapter 175 Inquiry
Xu Shiqiu's guess was correct. Although the sky in the capital hadn't changed, those who were well-informed could already sense the undercurrents in the calm.

Although Yan Ye returned to Beijing earlier, he took a detour to meet someone, so he did not return to Beijing much earlier than Xu Shiqiu.

Yan Ye went to see Xu Yanzhu the night he returned to Beijing, and informed Xu Yanzhu of his arrangement.

"Now my identity cannot be announced, so this time I will invite an uncle to come forward and help me negotiate with Jiang Han. He has an extraordinary status, and I think Jiang Han will be willing to give him face and not go into my business. Identity." Yan Ye looked at Xu Yanzhu, and after saying this softly, he stretched out his hand nervously, and placed it on Xu Yanzhu's unprotruded belly.

Thinking of the place where his blood was being conceived across the layer of belly, Yan Ye felt a little sour in his eyes.

Since what happened more than ten years ago, he never thought that one day he would have a child when his revenge was not avenged.

After seeing Yan Ye, Xu Yanzhu completely let go of his heart. Hearing him say that, he can naturally understand why.

Xu Yanzhu didn't ask Yan Ye who the person she found was. During this period of time, she raised her baby with peace of mind, took a lot of bitter medicine, and understood that only by taking good care of her body can she give birth to a healthy child.

So she didn't think deeply about it at this moment, and just acted as if she was leaving everything to Yan Ye.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu's expression, and thinking about what she said in the flower language and flower words just now, the suffering she suffered every day because of the child in her womb, Yan Ye sighed and said: "Zhu Er, it's mine this time, otherwise You won't suffer like this."

"Brother Yan, I am willing to give birth to you." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu paused before continuing: "What's more, I will be pregnant at this time, and I am willing to do so. I can't blame you for this. .”

Yan Ye knew that Xu Yanzhu was telling the truth, what happened that night could not be explained clearly in a few words.

Both of them fell in love at that time. Although the child came at an untimely time, they both really liked it.

Yan Ye had just returned to Beijing and did not stay with Xu Yanzhu for long. After staying for a while, he left a message that after Xu Shiqiu returned to Beijing, he would go to Xu's house to meet him first, and then come to Jiang's house with him.

Xu Yanzhu understood that Yan Ye was asking her to give Jiang Han some time. After all, her uncle's return to Beijing was not small, and he estimated that he would be back within three to five days.

As for the time Jiang Han gave, there was still a lot of time, enough for them to settle some matters at Xu's house before coming to Jiang's house.

"Brother Yan, don't worry, I will tell Jiang Han this." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu thought for a while and then said: "Grandmother and third uncle are probably not easy to fool, my aunt also knows about me, she I'm afraid I will go too."

As for her parents, they still thought that she was tired and sick because of her mother-in-law's funeral, and they didn't even know that she was pregnant.

Xu Yanzhu didn't want her parents to get involved in this matter, their mouths were not strict.

Yan Ye didn't speak after hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, but nodded to her to show that he knew.

After Yan Ye left, Xu Yanzhu didn't rush to deliver a letter to Jiang Han, but waited until the next evening before telling Jiang Han that when her third uncle came back, he would visit his grandmother and third uncle first, and then come to Jiang's house.

Jiang Han didn't mind this. After all, the old lady Xu's tone of voice when she came to Jiang's house that day, the Xu family would also find this person unhappy.

Thinking that Xu Yanzhu had been raised by Mrs. Xu since he was a child, and had a very good relationship with the third wife of the Xu family, he didn't say much.

What's more, the capital is not stable recently, the third prince obviously ignored the Jiang family before, who knows that he sent someone to look for him again during this time.

Jiang Han understood that the third prince was dishonest and wanted to do great things, but he was short of money.

The Jiang family has been in the Shang Dynasty for many generations, and outsiders don't know how much money they have in their hands, but they also know in their hearts that the Jiang family has no shortage of money.

But Jiang Han didn't want to be involved in these matters. If the fifth prince came to him, he might be willing to secretly fund some money through Xu Yanzhu's relationship, but the third prince...

Even a merchant like Jiang Han can tell that the power of the third prince in the court is not good. Although the uncle's family and the third prince's concubine's natal family are good, but when they really meet the Zhang family and the Hu family, they have no strength to fight. .

What's more, the Xu family has also risen again now, and Prince Shangduan is involved, so the odds of the third prince's victory are really too small.

The most important thing is that Jiang Han thinks that the fifth prince is more suitable to be a saint than the third prince. At least the fifth prince is not like the third prince, who eats yours, kills you, and seizes your property.

Because of this matter, Jiang Han was really busy these days, and Xu Shiqiu was going back to Beijing, so he was going to use this matter to talk to them.

The Jiang family is willing to secretly support the fifth prince, but they must protect the Jiang family from being hated and plotted against by the third prince's faction.

Jiang Han thought about his bottom line in his heart, and waited for Xu Shiqiu to return to Beijing with peace of mind.

It was not only Jiang Han who was looking forward to Xu Shiqiu's return to Beijing, but the entire Xu family was also waiting for Xu Shiqiu's return to Beijing.

Xu Shiqiu's trip to Beijing this time was ordered to go out to suppress the bandits. Even if he returned to Beijing, he would not go directly to Beijing.

He had to take the soldiers back to the barracks in the suburbs of Beijing first, and then he could hand in the paperwork and go to Beijing to ask Emperor Ruikang to see him.

It's just that Xu Shiqiu hasn't returned to the capital yet. Emperor Ruikang has already sent someone out of Beijing to meet Xu Shiqiu, and asked him to go directly to Beijing after returning to Beijing. As for the soldiers, they can camp outside the city or return to the military camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

"What is your Majesty doing?" Mrs. Xu sat at the head of the hall, frowned and looked at Xu Nuanwen, who was next to deliver the news. Seeing her shaking her head, she sighed and said, "No matter what the Majesty wants to do , we can only be on guard, but we can't take the initiative."

As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu, who was sitting on the other side of the lower head, said, "Why don't I go to the palace tomorrow to meet the empress? The empress is in the palace, and she is familiar with the Holy Majesty's temperament. Guess some."

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, the old lady Xu shook her head and said, "If this is the case, the empress will know that there are people in our family in the palace, and the empress will feel that we are using her."

"Mother, that's not what you said. The empress has joined forces with us now. She doesn't want the third prince to sit in that position. She has sent a letter to the Hu family and asked the Hu family to help us." Although, the Hu family's initial request was to think She asked her brother Huan to marry the daughter of the Hu family, but the empress stopped him.

The empress was trapped in the palace all her life, and lost her children and grandchildren because of the power struggle. She was very unhappy that the Hu family had a daughter to repeat the same mistakes.

On the contrary, the direct branch of the Hu family has a youngest daughter, who is only one year younger than her elder brother Xuan. Seeing what Empress Hu means, she will not ask for the position of queen in the future, and she does not want the daughter of the Hu family to enter the palace again. Well, the Hu family still wants the position of princess.

Regarding this point, Xu Nuanwen has no objection, she has met the daughter of the Hu family, because Empress Hu sent a message back to the Hu family early on, the daughter's parents are also obedient, and they have taught the daughter very well.

But now, Brother Shuo and Brother Xuan's marriage is in sight, but Brother Huan's marriage is still not settled.

Because her family's husband is very likely to ascend the throne, and Brother Huan is the eldest son, even the concubine De in the palace, he also feels that the eldest grandson's marriage cannot be settled so early.

After all, as long as her son is in power, the eldest grandson is the best candidate for the crown prince.

Concubine De also thought about accepting a niece from her natal family after her son ascended the throne, but Ye Jingxing spoke very sternly, if he wanted to accept another woman, then he would rather not have the throne.

Concubine De couldn't hold back her son, so she had to acquiesce that Ye Jingxing had only Xu Nuanwen by her side.

Fortunately, Xu Nuanwen gave birth to two prostitutes, and another concubine was raised under her knees since childhood, and her eldest grandson is indeed exceptional, otherwise she would not have given up so easily.

According to Xu Nuanwen's thinking, the mother-in-law gave up in the end, probably because of the three younger siblings.

Empress Hu regarded the three younger siblings as her own daughters, otherwise Empress Hu would not have agreed to let the Hu family help so easily.

What's more, her younger brother is now more and more valued by her father, her sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of Prince Duan, and her nephews are getting more and more motivated. Her Xu family's connections are not bad now.

Ye Jingxing didn't want to marry his uncle's cousin, and he didn't want his son to marry his uncle's granddaughters. Concubine De understood this, so Concubine De finally thought about it for a long time before deciding not to marry her eldest grandson, but to use her family's few A grandniece, to make some contacts for the eldest grandson.

Among them, she married the most outstanding daughter-in-law of her natal family to the Hu family, which was also what Empress Anhu wanted.

Because of Concubine De's decision, the relationship between Empress Hu and her has been particularly good recently.

Xu Nuanwen thought about this in her heart, then looked at the old lady Xu above her and said, "Mom, I don't think it's wrong for younger siblings to enter the palace." After saying this, Xu Nuanwen paused and then Continued: "The empress actually understands the current situation in her heart, and she also knows that we will definitely pay attention to the news in the palace. What's more, this time the emperor suddenly issued such an order. We can't understand it, and we feel uneasy. It is common sense to ask her to see her and ask why."

What's more, the most important point Xu Nuanwen didn't say is that Empress Hu regards the three younger siblings as her own daughters. She thought about it for herself. Not happy.

After all, although Empress Hu kept a low profile, it was really not easy for the palace to hide something from her.

Dong Shu nodded hurriedly when she heard her sister's words. She got along with the empress and empress a lot, and she also had true feelings.

She doesn't have a mother's family, and her closest cousin probably won't be able to come to the capital until the end of the year. Even so, I'm afraid I can only see her once a year.

So when she heard what her aunt said, she wanted to go to the palace to see Queen Hu, and talk to her by the way.

The old lady Xu also has a daughter. After listening to Xu Nuanwen's words, she understood what she was thinking.

"In this case, you can make arrangements later, and you will go to the palace in these two days to find out what the Holy Majesty means." After saying this, the old lady Xu thought for a while and said: "This time the palace will also Take Yuan Xi with me, the capital may not be stable in a while, and Yuan Xi will not be able to go out at that time."

As soon as Mrs. Xu said this, Dong Shu was taken aback.

She understood that her mother-in-law would not say such things rashly, she must have noticed something.

Could it be that something really big is going to happen?
