The hall was suddenly silent, Xiao Xuanyu sat on the bed, and the queen mother walked back and forth angrily.

"Yu'er!" The queen mother couldn't bear it anymore, "You never thought about your mother? She suffered in that kind of place, and you are so unfilial, never thought about taking her out?"

"Think about it, but Xuan Yu doesn't want to use the method of the emperor's grandmother."

"What's wrong with mourning the family? It's all for your own good. You see that you are single and weak in the court, and everyone is relying on nepotism. The queen tried her best to build a bridge for Princess Suxin and Xiao Junyi , you are not in a hurry or panic at all? Aijia is helping you, you still think it is not good, you are so mad at Aijia!"

"Grandmother calm down, grandson has no intention of doing this."

"Then what do you really want? Is it possible that you can reach the sky in one step? Now marry Princess Suxin, and with her by your side, everything will get twice the result with half the effort, do you know? She is the most beloved princess of the Emperor Yin, and she will be enthroned as the Queen Mother in the future." The emperor is likely to be her brother, such a woman will bring you a lot of benefits and no harm."

Xiao Xuanyu smiled and said nothing, and the Queen Mother continued, "She is so talented that she can be your good wife, and you all like to play the piano. Even if you don't mention anything else, you usually play the piano and the piano very well. Princess Suxin, To have talent, to have good looks, and to have the best family background and knowledge, such a woman is not one in a hundred, even if there is no one in a thousand. Yu'er, the Ai family has said so much, you Do you understand? The Ai family is working so hard, for whom? It's not you. Only when you get better, our Zhang family will have a good life, and your mother will come out."

Princess Suxin is a very popular figure now, from the prince to the important officials, all want to marry her back home.As the queen mother said, she is the best in everything.However, she was not that person, not the one he wanted most in his heart.

"Grandmother," Xiao Xuanyu said, "Grandson knows that Grandmother is for my own good, but have you forgotten? My Concubine Heng is someone else."

"Who, you don't mean the marriage bestowed by the queen last time, right? Didn't you send it to Xiao Junyi for you?"

"No, it wasn't that time. That time, the father was not in the palace. If he was, he would never allow it. Even if the queen did that, even if I was really married at the time, the father would still annul the marriage or degrade her when he came back. For the concubine."

"Why?" The Queen Mother paused.

"Could it be that the emperor's grandmother forgot? My son has a marriage contract since he was a child?" Xiao Xuanyu said, "It was a marriage bestowed by the emperor. Although the marriage has never been completed, the imperial decree is still there. How dare my son resist the decree?"

"What?" The queen mother turned pale in shock, she suddenly remembered such a past.

Once, Xiao Xuanyu and that little girl were friends, once they performed together to celebrate the emperor's birthday, they knew how to play qin music at a young age, and she was there at that time, so she was surprised and admired.

If she hadn't been the daughter of that scumbag, maybe the Queen Mother would have accepted her, but it's a pity...

Let's say that on the emperor's birthday that day, he was in a good mood to see this couple of golden boys and jade girls.At that time, the little girl followed Xiao Xuanyu, no matter where he went, she followed him.It made everyone laugh at her, "What if I grow up and get married? Are you still following Brother Yu like this?"

The little girl tilted her head and said aggrievedly, "Can't I marry my brother?"

After hearing this, everyone laughed at her childishness, and the emperor also teased her and said, "Yes."

She was overjoyed and said, "Doesn't that mean that you can be with and follow your brother forever?"

At that time, many people flattered them by saying that they were childhood sweethearts and a pair of young couples.Completely ignoring Concubine Shu's ashen face, how could her son marry such an uneducated wild girl? !

However, the emperor, Longyan Dayue, proposed marriage to the two in front of everyone.Rong Hou really wrote the imperial decree, laughed at them and said, "If you two grow up, you won't be able to go back on your word."

"No." The little girl didn't understand what a marriage was, she just wanted to be with her brother forever, but Xiao Xuanyu was a lot older than her, so she naturally understood and her face was blushing.

Everything was beautiful at that time, the little girl was still there, and her smile was very sweet.Xiao Xuanyu's leg was not injured either, he could run and jump.The emperor also thought that he had made a good marriage, at least in the royal family, how difficult it is to be able to marry freely.However, he fulfilled these two children.

However, things did not develop as expected.

They don't have childhood sweethearts because they didn't grow up together.

After Xiao Xuanyu grew up, he was not in a hurry to get married. Two years ago, Concubine Shu and the Empress Dowager joined forces, and they could be regarded as the tyrants of the harem. .

Later, Xiao Xuanyu was sent to the cold palace because of his disabled legs and his biological mother was convicted, and no one dared to associate with him and marry his daughter.Heng Wang, who was most likely to succeed the throne, fell from the sky into the mud overnight!

Recalling the past, the Empress Dowager and Xiao Xuanyu both had thorns in their hearts, and they couldn't be pulled out or picked out.

"The paper marriage contract has been voided, and she is dead. Do you want to marry a dead person? What's more, it's just a joke from the emperor, so it's nothing to worry about."

"But Grandmother, if there is an imperial decree, the grandson dare not disobey it."

"Don't use this as an excuse, the emperor will agree. Does he want his son not to marry for the rest of his life? There is also the status of Princess Suxin, I don't know how much nobler than her. If she is still alive, she must know the difficulty You just dared to say that if I force you, you can only accept the princess as a concubine? How can she be a concubine? She is a princess!" The Queen Mother said forcefully, "That's the deal, marry Princess Suxin !"

Xiao Xuanyu evaded and talked about other things, "I always feel that she is not dead, maybe she will come back someday."

"Crazy, why do you believe your woman's nonsense? She always said that her daughter is not dead, and she is not even allowed to have a cloak. The emperor still let her go. She was so fascinated by the vixen that she even forgot the family law of her ancestors. You should wake up to Aijia, and don’t make the same mistakes as your father. Otherwise, Aijia can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if she is still there, marriage can still be counted, and my royal family can’t do it. I'm not someone who contradicts her promises, but you didn't want her to be a concubine, and you didn't say to let her be your regular wife at the beginning, so why do you have to worry so much?"

"Since the emperor's grandmother has made up her mind, why should she discuss with her grandson? The grandson is now a useless person. If Princess Suxin doesn't dislike her, the grandson will be grateful."

It seems that she is obedient. Although there are some complaints, the queen mother is still very satisfied with the goal, "This is all for your own good. In the future, you will understand the painstaking efforts of Aijia. You have to see the situation clearly yourself. You think you are still in the past. King Heng, waiting for someone to curry favor with you? Now is the time for you to take the initiative."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching." Xiao Xuanyu's expression was calm, so calm that it was a little cold.

He has his own plans, his own arrangements, his own ideas, his own persistence, and his own propositions, but all these are nothing in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

She has been domineering all her life and manipulated the emperor for half of her life, and now the emperor is out of control.She quickly grabbed another one, saying it was for Xiao Xuanyu's benefit, but to put it bluntly, it was still for the Zhang family.

However, what the queen mother said is right, he is not the constant king in the past, and now he depends on other people's faces, not others on him.Since you choose to fight, choose to degenerate, let it be thorough!

There is nothing wrong with political marriage!Besides, he has met his future. Marrying Zhang's daughter as a side concubine is also on the agenda. The queen mother has mentioned it countless times.

He hasn't responded all the time, one is because of his appearance, he really doesn't want to drag others down.Second, he didn't want to see another Concubine Zhang Shu, and he didn't want anyone to be as miserable as his mother.

He has seen too many battles, persecution, and killings in the palace.He is well aware of these political tricks, as long as he chooses to give up completely and give up on himself, what else can he not do?

"Yu'er, take a good rest, Aijia will come to see you another day. Your father is also very concerned about you. Although you have caused a big disaster this time, it is a blessing in disguise. Your father said that you are idle at home and are used to being lazy. Now, I want you to enter the court to help handle government affairs, under his nose, easy to manage, the deep meaning of it, don't tell me about it, you understand it."

"Yes, Grandmother, go slowly."

After sending off the Queen Mother, Xiao Xuanyu's face was only blank, unable to tell whether it was happiness or worry.He approached the emperor step by step, approached that position, and walked all the way for two years before he could put on that court dress again and enter the hall!

Wushuang and Lian Cheng knelt outside, keeping their heads extremely low.

The queen mother came out, and pulled Lian Cheng lovingly, as if entrusting her, "Lian Cheng, Aijia watched you and Yu'er grow up, and now the only person around him who is trustworthy and can help him is you. Aijia I hope you can be as close as brothers, and you can help him decide when he is undecided, and pull him back when he goes on the wrong path."

"Remember, sir."

"With you by his side, Ai's family will feel relieved." The queen mother said, and left with dignity.

When Lian Sheng and Wu Shuang entered the hall, Xiao Xuanyu's confusion disappeared, and he asked with a faint smile, "Did you come?"

Wushuang didn't dare to tell them they were arguing, and wanted to nod and say yes, but Lian Cheng was honest, "I've been here for a while."

"Oh." Xiao Xuanyu responded, and didn't know what to say next.

Lian Sheng said, "It's inconvenient for me to say anything, after all, it's your own private matter. But since the lord is on this path, and your mother is the empress dowager's niece, then your matter is no longer my matter." Yes. Princess Suxin came to court for the purpose of marriage, and this is indeed an excellent opportunity for you."

Wushuang was dumbfounded, in the officialdom, no one can be alone, even Sheng is no exception.

Because of his friendship with Xiao Xuanyu, in the beginning, it was really just a simple communication, but now, it is no longer playing the piano and painting between them.Lian Cheng didn't want Xiao Xuanyu to suffer, so he couldn't help helping him, but with such a gang, he was unexpectedly included in the Hengwang Party.

In fact, when Wu Shuang lamented that Lian Cheng was also deeply involved in the official struggle, he did not realize that Xiao Junyi and Xiao Xuanyu were rivals at the moment.Those who can marry Su Xin are probably these two.If Xiao Xuanyu didn't marry, then only Xiao Junyi would marry.

Wushuang would not understand that even in the officialdom, Lian Sheng's first thought was her interests.

Su Xingui is a princess, and if she marries a courtier, she is naturally a regular wife.So what about Wushuang, who comes from a backcountry in the eyes of the people of Kyoto, who has no power and no power, what can she contend with?

The Empress Dowager gave her a marriage, don't think of giving it up easily, then in this life, if nothing happens, Wushuang is destined to be tied to Xiao Junyi.Lian Cheng didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted her to live a better life. If Xiao Junyi treated her well, he would recognize her in this life.

The existence of Princess Suxin is definitely not a good thing for Wushuang.It's hard to say, Wushuang will be reduced to a concubine, no matter how good she is, she will be a flat wife, but the possibility is unlikely.There is a princess who is always on top of his head, and Lian Cheng can't bear to see Wushuang live in such a predicament.
