noble girl fights father

Chapter 237 Changing the Inheritance System
Yan Yuheng just sat down with Baili Kong and Baili Chenghui for a while, and then returned to Qinlan Courtyard. The first room, second room and third room had nothing to talk about now.But today when Yan Yuheng came back, and Baili Yanjiao and Prince Chun came back, the second and third bedrooms would come over no matter how reluctant they were.

The first room, the second room, and the third room have not yet separated, and now everyone is just maintaining the surface, so they left after chatting in the lobby.

At this time, in Qinlan Courtyard, Baili Yanqing was chatting with Baili Yanyu, Yan Meng, and Yan Hui, but the second and third sisters did not come over, nor did Baili Yanyu.

Over the years, the relationship between Baili Yanyu, Yanmeng and Baili Yanyu has become even more distant, and both of them have resentment towards Cui Yingying and Baili Yanyu.

Previously, he was worried about the main courtyard because Cui Yingying, the aunt, was in charge of the marriage of the concubines, and since Baili Chenghui took care of several concubines, the marriage of Baili Yanyu and Yanmeng was also quickly decided. down.

Yanyu's choice is Li Wei, a fellow Jinshi from a poor family, and Yanmeng's family is from a wealthy merchant's family. Although they are not nobles such as the royal family or aristocratic families, it is not bad to marry and become a first-law wife and be the head of the house. up.

As long as Baili Mansion doesn't fall down, and the married daughter of Baili Mansion is not a cowardly person, she won't be bullied by her husband's family.

In Dafang's place, Baili Yanqing was the first to marry. After she got married, Yanhui had to marry to Prince Ning's Mansion as a side concubine, and Yanyu and Yanmeng had to marry one after another.

Except for Baili Yanyu, who is two years younger than her, all the sisters will get married within this year.

Baili Yanqing naturally hoped that her younger sisters would marry sooner. Seeing that the old lady couldn't hide her sick look today, it seemed that she couldn't last long.

If Yan Yu, Yan Meng and Yan Hui hadn't married early, once they met the old lady's funeral, even though they kept their filial piety for a year, if time dragged on, accidents would happen easily.

Baili Yanqing knew that the marriage between Yanyu and Yanmeng did not go through Cui Yingying, but was arranged by Baili Chenghui, which made Cui Yingying very annoyed.

But if Cui Yingying made a move, Baili Yanyu and Yanmeng wouldn't be able to find a good one.

Although Baili Yanqing felt that Baili Chenghui's father was sometimes a bit of a scumbag for women, and even neglected his children a lot, and he was completely indulgent, but at least he cared about his children's marriage.

Talking about getting married, Yan Yu, Yan Meng and Yan Hui all showed shy faces.

"Miss, uncle is back."

Baili Yanqing, Yan Yu, Yan Meng, and Yan Hui heard the sound and saw Yan Yuheng walking towards the yard, and they all stood up.

"Hi brother-in-law." Yan Yu, Yan Meng, and Yan Hui all said politely to Yan Yuheng.

"You sisters are being polite." Yan Yuheng nodded towards Yanyu, and said: "You sisters talk first, I'll sit inside."

"Chun Miao, take your son to rest." Baili Yanqing said, Yanyu, Yanmeng and Yanhui said: "No need, big sister, we have been sitting for a while, when we are free next time, Talk to big sister again."

"Okay then, you guys go back and have a rest too, see you later."

"Big sister, big brother-in-law goodbye."

Baili Yanqing didn't keep Baili Yanyu, Yan Meng and Yan Hui anymore, and only after they left, did she and Yan Yuheng enter the house.

"How are you talking with grandfather and father?" Baili Yanqing held Yan Yuheng's arm, and after the two sat down at the coffee table, Chun Miao served tea diligently.

"Sit for a while and chatted, but didn't say anything." Yan Yuheng didn't hide anything from Baili Yanqing, and told what happened in Zhuyuan just now.

Baili Yanqing frowned. Although she knew that the relationship between the first and second and third families was a bit tense, she never thought that she would no longer be willing to do superficial work in front of Yan Yuheng and Prince Chun.

"Little uncle is acting more and more high-profile now." Yan Yuheng also knew that the second and third bedrooms were close to Ruijun Wang, and also knew that the relationship between Baili Mansion was a little stiff due to different supporters, but he never thought that the second and third bedrooms Fang couldn't wait to show Da Fang a face.

Baili Yanqing shook her head, the second and third bedrooms acted in such a way that they were eager for quick success, they were so confident that King Ruijun would win, and they couldn't wait to draw a line with Baili Kong.

Yan Yuheng was contradictory and complicated about the dispute between the two factions of Emperor Xiahui and King Ruijun. Both of them were his uncles, and his grandmother and mother were all involved in the struggle for imperial power, and even he couldn't escape.

Yan Yuheng saw that Baili Yanqing was worried, so he patted Baili Yanqing's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Qinger, I will take good care of you."

Baili Yanqing took advantage of the opportunity to approach Yan Yuheng's arms. She was not worried about the second and third bedrooms, let alone her own safety.In fact, Baili Yanqing was happy to see the dispute between Emperor Xia Hui and King Ruijun. She also disliked Emperor Xia Hui, but she couldn't watch King Ruijun come to power either.So only when Emperor Xia Hui fought with King Ruijun, she would be able to fish in troubled waters.

At noon, Baili Yanqing had dinner in Baili Mansion, sat in the bamboo garden for a while, and then returned to Hou Mansion with Yan Yuheng.

Just as she got off the carriage, she happened to meet Yan Qinghao who had just returned from the palace. Baili Yanqing raised a smile and called, "Daddy."

"I'm back so early." Yan Qinghao was also very happy to see Yan Yuheng and Baili Yanqing.

Yan Qinghao will be going back to the base tomorrow, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return home.And if he's not around, he'll be beyond his reach when the eldest princess shows up with any monsters.

Yan Qinghao frowned. The eldest princess went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning early this morning. After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she went to Prince Ruijun's Mansion, and she hasn't come back yet.

Yan Qinghao didn't care when the eldest princess would come back, but he knew that the eldest princess was involved in the affairs of Emperor Xia Hui and Prince Rui.

Yan Qinghao felt that the eldest princess was very unnecessary. After all, the eldest princess was a woman, so there was no need to participate at all. No matter whether it was Emperor Xia Hui or King Ruijun who won, they would not embarrass the eldest princess.

And if King Rui Jun wins, Yan Qinghao will naturally not be able to escape, but if Emperor Xia Hui wins, Emperor Xia Hui will not be able to tolerate the eldest princess jumping up and down like this.

Yan Qinghao wasn't afraid of anything, he just felt that the eldest princess would implicate several children in this way.

"Father, what is the order of the emperor?" Baili Yanqing was a little tired at first, but after hearing what Yan Qinghao and Yan Yuheng said, she thought she had heard it wrong.

"The emperor changed the succession system." Yan Qinghao paused and said: "Now the respect of the concubine remains the same, but in the absence of a concubine, you can record the concubine under the name of the concubine as the son of the concubine, and you can also take the position. Inheritance, there is no need to adopt from the side. In the case of adoption, it can only be adopted when there is no child, but adopt an heir from a brother or clan."

Baili Yanqing and Yan Yuheng nodded. This is more reasonable. In the eyes of many men, regardless of the concubines, they are all their children, but the concubines are the respected ones, and the status of the concubines is not as good as the concubines.

But one's concubine can't inherit his own family business, but has to inherit it from a brother next to him or an adoptive son in the clan. No one is happy about this.

It's just that this is the system established when the Great Xia was founded, and it hasn't changed for so many years, and it's not that no one has proposed it for so many years, but the emperors of all parties have not agreed.

Now Emperor Xia Hui agreed to change.

In this way, many people who have no sons are naturally very grateful to Emperor Xia Hui.

However, this has both advantages and disadvantages. With the change of the inheritance system, the status of the concubine has also improved a bit.In the past, the concubine did not have the right to inherit, but now that the concubine has the right of inheritance, he naturally poses a threat to the concubine, and there will be another bloody storm in this inner house.

"Why did the emperor agree?" Baili Yanqing was a little puzzled, but she remembered that some officials had proposed it before, but neither the Empress Dowager Cui nor the emperor agreed.

However, the royal family is not restricted by the law of succession. Regardless of whether the direct prince or the concubine prince, they are all the sons of the emperor and have the right to inherit.

According to the patriarchal system, the eldest son is naturally the first heir, but the emperor's heir has always been the three points of establishing a son, establishing a son, and being a virtuous son. The queen has no sons, so she can adopt other princes, and the prince can also be abolished. The one who laughs last is not necessarily the legitimate son.

Yan Qinghao glanced at Yan Yuheng, and told about Emperor Xia Hui's life experience. Baili Yanqing's eyes flickered, and she finally knew what was wrong with the mother and son between Emperor Xia Hui and Empress Dowager Cui.

When she was in the palace, Baili Yanqing felt strange. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Empress Dowager Cui to love Ruijun King, so it is impossible to disregard Emperor Xia Hui's thoughts.

But Empress Dowager Cui has been fighting for the benefits of Ruijun King, completely disregarding Emperor Xia Hui's thoughts, and after a long time, Emperor Xia Hui is not the son of Empress Dowager Cui.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Emperor Xia Hui agreed that the concubine had the right to inherit under the condition that the son was registered as his son.

Although Emperor Xia Hui doesn't need to care about the influence of his own background on the throne, if it is revealed that he is not the direct prince, then the eldest son of the Great Xia Kingdom should be the king of Ruijun. The county king is the first heir to the throne.

I don't blame Empress Dowager Cui for being unfair, but what can I do? Emperor Xia Hui is now sitting on the throne. Without Emperor Xia Hui, she would have been a virtuous concubine sitting in the queen's seat back then.

King Ruijun was born late and was posthumous, but Empress Dowager Cui was still not reconciled.Looking at his son bowing his head to Emperor Xia Hui, the most important thing is that Emperor Xia Hui is not the biological son of Empress Dowager Cui, but the son of Empress Dowager Cui's concubine sister. How can Empress Dowager Cui tolerate it when she has her own son? Emperor Xia Hui.

And now in the Prince Ruijun's mansion, the Eldest Princess is in the Prince Ruijun's study and asks incredulously: "My Royal Brother, is what the Queen Mother said true? The Royal Brother is really not from the Queen Mother."

When King Ruijun heard what the eldest princess asked, a gloomy look appeared on his face, and he nodded.

The eldest princess's expression froze, how could this be, the emperor's brother is not the son of the queen mother, but a son of a concubine from the Cui family.

"Sister Huang, I am the eldest son of the royal father and the queen mother. The royal brother has occupied my position for so long, and it is time to pay it back. Will the royal sister help me?" King Ruijun asked, looking directly at the eldest princess.
