Chapter 95

It was a very happy thing at first, but Mrs. Zheng knew that her most beloved granddaughter was privately betrothed by the old man to the hard-fated King Cheng, and she directly had a big fight with Xiao Dingbang, even refusing to let the door open. He entered, making Xiao Dingbang feel disheartened, and directly muttered behind his back that the old woman was too shameless.But he was unambiguous and did not let go of his mouth on major matters. Besides, how could it be easy to let go of this matter?

And because it was done in private, few people knew about it. Everyone in the house knew that the old lady and the old man were angry. The reason was that the old lady secretly glanced at a maid, which made the old lady jealous , Drive the old man out.The poor old man sleeps in the study every day. It's really not easy at such an old age.

Aunt Wang still wanted to take the opportunity to win back the old man's heart, but she was also beaten out by the old man, making everyone laugh behind her back for being too overconfident.Don't even look at how old I am, and want to be favored again?

There were some restless maids who were eager to try after hearing the rumors, but the result is of course predictable.

Qin Shi was also unhappy during this period. She knew that all this was for her eldest son, so she asked Jing Shu to go to the right and wrong place in the palace. Her palms and backs were covered with flesh, and she didn't know what to do.And it's not easy to say about it, after all, it's just a verbal agreement. She wanted to discuss it with her eldest sister, Princess Lian, but she couldn't say it. The baby she raised for 15 years is going to go to the enemy of the tiger and wolf. You can go to Shengjia to cry for grievances!

But after all, the imperial decree has not yet come down, what do you say?So during this period of time, the people in the second room were gloomy, mainly because Xiao Zhongqing and Qin Shi were in a bad mood.Everyone acted lightly, for fear that if one was not careful, the master's anger would extend to himself.

Ever since Jingyin died of illness, Aunt Zhong was bedridden. Xiao Zhongqing let people watch him carefully. He was completely chilled by Jingyin's rebellious escape, and keeping Aunt Zhong was just for the sake of Just in case.

The most worrying thing now is about Jing Shu, can the old man and King Cheng change their minds?The answer is impossible, King Cheng has already rescued Xiao Yan, and participated in the prisoner offering ceremony in a glorious manner, and was promoted to General Zhenbei, everything is irreversible.

It's impossible for the old lady to make up her mind, and even the old lady would make trouble with him.Then others have no choice.

Looking at his wife's face that was getting thinner day by day, Xiao Zhongqing really felt that he was useless, was everything God's will?If there were no abnormal noises when Jing Shu was born, if Jing Shu's life was not approved like that, then could Jing Shu be able to live a normal life like ordinary people?

Marrying into the palace, getting involved in the big event of seizing the heir apparent, if she doesn't succeed, then Jingshu will have no choice but to die. If she succeeds, she will still have no peace. This is how her daughter should live?

My daughter should be happy, healthy and happy all her life.He subconsciously didn't think about the vision of Jingshu's birth and her fate all these years, but what should come still has to come.

But he is a man, and he has to hold on to everything. Since this matter can no longer be changed, he can only do his best to wish Cheng Wang a success, at least his daughter can survive. As for the future, he will do his best , will also protect Jingshu.

The second master Xiao Yan came back from the border, but he didn’t go there. One reason is that the northern barbarian has been beaten and has no power to fight back. Now he is negotiating peace. The border is stable. Second, he has been fighting for so many years. , and did not perform filial piety in front of his parents. Three times, the emperor did not order him to go back, so he stayed in the capital.

After going out for so many years, it is rare to be able to settle down. I have already achieved my goal of being a soldier. Now I am a general of the second rank. Even if the family is separated in the future, no one will dare to underestimate Jingshu if she marries. At least You have to look at the military power in your hands!

As the eldest son of the second family, it is worthwhile to do these Dou's by himself, but when he came back, he found that his father, mother and third brother were not the same as usual, happy and depressed at the same time.He and Xiao Luo were the best, so he had a big talk with his younger brother in private, only to realize that he sacrificed his younger sister because he wanted to save himself.

It is conceivable that Xiao Yan feels uncomfortable in his heart. He is an elder brother, and he entered the military camp at the beginning to give his younger siblings a strong support in the future, but now because of himself, his younger sister has to sacrifice herself.

"Brother, don't blame yourself. In fact, I have figured it out. Even if there is no brother, my grandfather has plans. Otherwise, he wouldn't let me go to find King Cheng alone. He must have known about me a long time ago. I just kept silent about the relationship with King Cheng, which means that he acquiesced. In the end, I am also responsible. If I hadn't made my own decision and formed a faction with King Cheng, my family would not have such a plan. I was the one who harmed my sister. I was so self-righteous, I always thought that my family members would not be involved, but in fact, I have already involved my family members, and I am the one who is most responsible!"

Xiao Yan let out a big breath. In the past few years in the military camp, he has seen too many lives and deaths. He is no longer a person who is blindly immersed in sadness and cannot extricate himself. Counterattack, this is one of the reasons why he was able to decide to attack after being trapped.

"Third brother, if things cannot be changed, then the best thing we can do now is to make ourselves more powerful and make King Cheng feel that we are indispensable, so he will not dare to treat his sister badly. Since he has that idea, it is necessary It depends on us, so it is best for my sister if we become stronger."

"What the second brother said is true! I listen to the second brother!"

On March 28, Jingshu celebrated her 15th birthday, and the Jiji Ceremony was also very intense. There were also rewards in the palace. In addition to the imperial concubine, the empress also sent jade hairpins. Naturally, the hairpin used in the Jiji Ceremony is the queen. Gift from the empress.The two of them thought it was normal, after all, one was the aunt of the sixth girl of the Xiao family, and the other was the mother of the cousin of the sixth girl of the Xiao family, so there was nothing wrong with giving things.

But the concubine de concubine in this palace also sent something, which is unbelievable. After all, the Xiao family has no friendship with concubine de, but why did they give it away, and the people of the Xiao family heard that concubine de concubine sent things over Yes, that expression is not very good.

It keeps everyone guessing.But soon the mystery was revealed. The emperor actually issued an imperial decree to betroth the sixth daughter of the Xiao family to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. If you say that the identity of the sixth girl Xiao is also worthy of marrying a prince, but the prince also depends on whether she is a prince. Who.Back then, there was Duke Ding's granddaughter, who almost died because of a mismatched horoscope.

If the horoscopes are also inconsistent this time, is the reputation and life of Miss Xiao Liu at stake?

It is really curious that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang has not married the main concubine for so many years, and suddenly he has the intention of marriage.Everyone was waiting for the news that Miss Xiao Liu was in poor health, so as to prove that Prince Cheng's fate was hard, but everyone was disappointed.

Back then, the legendary master also returned to the capital, and directly calculated the horoscopes of the two of them. It was a match made in heaven, and there was no problem at all. The emperor was relieved. concubine and concubine are not considered wives),
So if there is a suitable candidate, he is happy to fulfill it.After all, his son is important.

As for the imperial concubine, she was waiting for her niece Jiji to tell the emperor that she betrothed her to his son, but how did she know such a thing happened?Doesn't this make people robbed?Where is such a thing?The same is the son, and this son was injured, why should you give it to whoever you say.The more the imperial concubine thought about it, the more she felt angry and unfair.And her son was always depressed when he heard that Jingshu had been given to King Cheng. She didn't know what his son was thinking.So she risked being scolded by the emperor to make him change his mind.

As a result, the emperor said: "You are not joking, there is no need to discuss this matter!"

Seeing the pear blossoms raining on his concubine, the emperor softened his heart, and said: "The fourth child is also suffering, because the horoscope has not been married for so many years, and now I have finally found a suitable one, how can I change it as soon as I say it. After Lao Qi, I will find him a better one."

"Your Majesty, J'er is already like that. He will live in the palace for the rest of his life. It's not easy for him. The concubine's niece is always better than others. At least I won't dislike J'er as a cripple. I always wanted to I want to ask the emperor to open a golden mouth, but now, the concubine is uncomfortable for the son, the emperor, you should change your mind, there are many people in the world who match the horoscope, let's find it according to Jingshu's horoscope , I will definitely find it! Poor my son, he was crippled by his own brother, and now even his wife has been robbed, why is he suffering so much."

The emperor was upset when he heard this, and said: "This matter is a foregone conclusion. Don't you think that I will become a person who does not believe what I say? Besides, if I change my mind, then your niece from the natal family will only have a dead end. How can there be a daughter from Xu Er's family?" Things? If you still love your niece, don't say this, I'm tired, you can step back. "

"Your Majesty!" the imperial concubine shouted.

"Get out!"

The imperial concubine retreated unwillingly, and when she returned, she saw her son and daughter coming to greet her. The imperial concubine said to Li Zan: "Mother and concubine Dou delayed you. If I told your father and emperor in advance, I will not As for such a thing, I thought it was a foolproof thing, but it turned out like this, I am sorry for you, Concubine Mu!"

Yes, if I told the emperor in advance, how could King Cheng succeed? (Actually, King Cheng had discussed it with the Xiao Mansion a long time ago. This is just a process, and it was played out for the world to see.) But he thought that this was a sure thing, and it was still in the empress dowager's filial period at that time, so it was not easy to say this. , who knew that just as soon as he hesitated, he let others take the lead.

The third princess said: "I'll go and talk to my father, what's the matter! She was originally the daughter-in-law of the seventh brother, but suddenly became the fourth brother's. The fourth brother can't be so unreasonable even if he is the elder brother. He knows Jingshu and us The relationship is the closest, so I don’t even think about it. It’s a good place for Jing Shu to marry Seventh Brother. I went to Fourth Brother’s place, a room full of women, and that old woman who shamelessly wants to follow Fourth Brother (Su Xin), How can I have a good life in the future? And the concubine De, she only has her natal family in her heart, and she must stand by that old woman. It’s no wonder that Jingshu didn’t suffer when she married! Do you have the heart to let Jingshu suffer? Haven't you been waiting for her to grow up? Is there any reason! If the father doesn't agree, I'll make trouble!"

The seventh prince An Wang said in pain: "Yin'er, don't make trouble. It's your seventh brother who has no ability. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, if we go to make trouble again, we will only harm Jingshu. The emperor will not blame us, but only blame us." To my grandfather's house!"

"Brother Seven, why are you becoming more and more cowardly! You also said this? Then go and regret it, I will say it myself!"

"Come back to me!" The imperial concubine said with a headache, "Don't go, I think the emperor has made up his mind. I'll just treat you as sorry for your mother. In the future, my mother will definitely find you a better one." Go cry to the emperor, the emperor won't care too much, if his sons and daughters make trouble, the emperor will definitely get angry, the consequences are not something he can bear, and the imperial concubine is not a fool, knowing that things are irreversible, I can only persuade myself son.

"Yin'er, you've been out for a long time, go back quickly! You should look like a married person when you're married. Look at you, the filial piety period is over, so hurry up and have a baby. Don't worry about it any longer! Come on!" , send the princess back!"

The third princess reluctantly left the palace, but she turned her head and thought about it, and went to the Duke Huguo's mansion. Since it doesn't make sense here, as long as she can talk about Jingshu, everything will be easy to handle?

Jing Shu was dumbfounded after listening to what the third princess said, and couldn't help sighing, why is it that the third princess is still so stupid and naive in the past few years?She even let herself elope with the Seventh Prince!

Seeing that Jingshu remained silent, the third princess said: "Yes, you and Seventh Brother leave the capital, and then find a place to hide for a few years. When the matter subsides and Father's anger is gone, you come back again. Brother Qi is still together? I also have money now, and I will give it all to you. As long as I have money and go out, what can’t be done?"

Oh my god, these three princesses are too bad. Jing Shu had a headache and said, "Why should I elope? I'm going to have a good life, but I'm going to live a wandering life? Have you ever thought about it? After leaving, there is nothing wrong with you, our Duke Protector's Mansion disobeyed the imperial edict and was disrespectful, so we were going to be beheaded, how could I be so selfish and leave these people alone?"

Seeing what the third princess wanted to say, Jing Shu said: "Don't say anything else, the third princess please go back. I just pretend I didn't hear it!"

There is really nothing impossible, the only unexpected thing is to let myself elope, but I am not familiar with the Seventh Prince, right? After so many years of upbringing, how could it be possible to put my family in a state of irreversible just because of a man?The third princess wants to come out all the time, which is really unbearable.

"But, but, my seventh brother, he will suffer to death!"

Whoever leaves will live. Jing Shu doesn't believe that a man will die or live for a woman. If she has any handover with the Seventh Prince, it means that his leg was thrown, did she say a few words to him? How could it be that in the eyes of the third princess, they are in love with each other?If this gets out, will he still be alive?
What a reckless princess!

"That's none of my business. I only know about marriage. As a girl, I just obey the arrangement. I will never do other things!"

"You, why are you so cowardly? Fortunately, my seventh brother is still thinking about you!"

"Princess be careful! It's not easy to maintain a woman's boudoir reputation, but it's very easy to destroy it! Do you know that if your words spread, I might be executed?"

It is not easy for a woman to survive. If someone really hears about it, then she really has no choice but to prove her innocence with death.I am not a princess, so I don't have the qualifications to be arrogant.

The third princess looked at Jingshu with hatred, why is this guy so unbelievable, he is always thinking of her, so he is always afraid of trouble!No, she still has to work hard, and she must not let Jingshu marry into the fourth brother's place.

Jing Shu waited for the three princesses to leave, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a message to her grandfather. She must let people watch the three princesses. If she messes around, it will be of no benefit to everyone.

After that, the third princess couldn't leave the princess mansion because of various things, and it didn't stop until the seventh prince talked to her.

The Seventh Prince Li Xun probably resigned to his fate and accepted the fact.Maybe I am really useless, not worthy of someone like my sixth cousin.

Compared with the quietness of the Seventh Prince, brother Xu from Prince Lian's Mansion quit. He heard that his cousin was betrothed to King Cheng, so he instinctively put a basin of ice water under him, how could he do it!He kept trying to settle accounts with King Cheng.

Everyone in Prince Lian's Mansion knew that Brother Xu liked Jingshu since he was a child. When the imperial decree came down, they all kept a close eye on Brother Xu. Princess Lian didn't let Brother Xu go out because she was afraid that he would cause trouble. It's a foregone conclusion, if brother Xu makes trouble, it will only increase troubles, and it will bring Jingshu a bad reputation.So brother Xu must not be allowed to make trouble.

"Mother knows that you have liked to cling to your cousin since you were young, and Mother also thought that when you grow up, she will propose marriage for you, but now that the imperial decree is under, you should die of this desire, and treat it as if you have no fate!"

"Why! Cousin is mine! The decree is amazing!" Brother Xu is the youngest son in the family. He has been loved by his family since he was a child.
"Based on what you said, I can't let you go out. You don't care about your own life, but do you want your cousin Jingshu to be unlucky? Do you know what King Cheng will think when he finds out about your troubles?" Hurry up and put out this thought for me, and my mother will find you a better wife in the future."

"Find a better one? What about my relationship with my cousin since childhood? There is no better one!"

Princess Lian was annoyed, "You have feelings for your cousin yourself, but what does your cousin Jingshu think, how do you know? You are fine as a boy, but once your cousin Jingshu has something to do, it will be beyond redemption. Hurry up and live with me Mouth. Come here, show me the third young master, don't let him go out!"

Princess Lian didn't try to reason with him anymore, and now she couldn't reason clearly, "Don't think about going out to find your cousin Jingshu, unless you want to kill her!"

"Master, what the princess said is that if you really go to Miss Biao Jingshu, people will know about it. Miss Biao really has a dead end. A girl's reputation is too important." Li Xu's servant Yantai said. .

The master is still a child who can't grow up. If his beloved things are robbed, he will definitely not be convinced. After a long time, nothing will happen.

If you can't go to your cousin, then you can go to Cheng Wang, as long as Cheng Wang destroys this relative, isn't that all right?The more Li Xu thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, so he thought about how to get out of the house, and then went to negotiate with King Cheng.
