Princess Rongcheng took a fancy to Qin Jiahong, and apparently she came to Aniang to inquire about the news after she had obtained the queen's tacit consent - the reason why she didn't ask clearly was probably because Emperor Longning hadn't secured a guarantee for this matter.

And the reasons for this are even more difficult to guess.Perhaps it was because Emperor Longning was reluctant to part with his daughter and wanted to choose a son-in-law who had a better family background and looked more suitable for Princess Rongcheng.Maybe it was objected by some ministers in the DPRK and China—for example, the chief assistant Zhao Huishen, Qin Jiahong was the member of the examination under him, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was naturally his favorite student—even if it was not, with such results, it is still possible. Naturally, he will be valued by Zhao Huishen, and he may be cultivated and supported by Zhao Huishen in the future, and he may even become a direct student of Zhao Huishen.If Zhao Huishen really valued Qin Jiahong and didn't want him to be his son-in-law, it's not impossible to give Emperor Longning a hard time.

Although Emperor Longning was an emperor, he had not been educated as an emperor since he was a child, and he was not diligent enough by nature. He relied heavily on the cabinet, and he was not so free in many things.Although generally speaking, ministers would not care about the emperor choosing a husband for his daughter, but it was hard to say when it came to the favorite student who was valued by the chief minister.

It's just that Qin Jiahong may not have such a high weight in Zhao Huishen's heart, and it's worth him rejecting Emperor Longning's decision for such a fledgling kid.After all, even though he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, if he really angered Emperor Longning, he would still be in danger of being taken from his position.

What Wang Yan showed was that he took the seriousness of this matter much more seriously than Anise.He kept looking down like this during dinner, and went back to the study after a hasty dinner. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't come back all night, so he probably just slept in the study.

The next morning, Hui Niang woke up, touched the not-so-warm mattress beside her, and called Ban Xia to come in, "Has the lord woke up?"

Ban Xia took the towel from the maidservant, wiped Hui Niang's hands and replied, "My lord got up early in the morning and went out without having breakfast."

"When did the prince rest last night?"

"I heard from the boy in the front yard that the light in the study room was still on after midnight, and the prince didn't let anyone in, so he just stayed in the room alone."

Hui Niang sighed, she really didn't expect Wang Yan to value Qin Jiahong so much.Even though she herself was worried about Qin Jiahong's future, she was not to the point of tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

Moreover, no matter how worried the husband and wife are, it is still Emperor Longning who makes the decision. As the cousin of one party and the half-brother of the other party, their identities are the most delicate. .All they can do now is wait.

***

I don't want to, I just waited for the first month - there are so many and complicated things in the palace in the first month, neither Emperor Longning nor the empress can mention it.However, the fact that she didn't say anything, made Hui Niang's heart beat a little.She didn't dare to ask Wang Yan directly: in the twelfth lunar month, for some reason, the ministers close to Wang Heng's faction suddenly started to attack Wang Yan, and found out many of his faults, and even the world changed people.Although Emperor Longning ignored these groundless remarks, Wang Yan had to be cautious, for fear of being caught again.

Naturally, Hui Niang followed her husband and wife, and rarely even went out of the house, so she only sent someone to pick up Shanniang three or four times—and in these three or four times, Princess Rongcheng came to the door twice...

Although Princess Rongcheng loves to come to Prince Tan's Mansion as a guest, she always sends a letter to the ward branch in advance every time, and it has never happened before that she came to the door without saying a word.Auntie had some doubts the first time, but because there was no evidence, the doubts could only be suppressed in her heart.

And when this happened for the second time, although Princess Rongcheng tried her best to suppress her embarrassment, how could Anise not have more suspicions?She was almost sure at the time that someone in the Qin family must have sent news.As for who the news was sent to, whether it was Wang Heng or someone else, or whether it was sent directly to the palace, it was not something she could judge out of thin air.

There are people in the Qin family, and maybe they have teamed up with others to manipulate Qin Jiahong's marriage!

As long as she thinks of this, Hui Niang can't help feeling hatred: The candidate for this person is very likely to be the Wei family. She joins forces with the imperial concubine and Wang Heng to suppress Qin Jiahong—as for Qin Mengyuan, although he It's not without suspicion, but Qin Jiahong is his relative, and Qin Mengyuan's career is actually more beneficial to Qin Mengyuan than being a son-in-law.

After all, to be a son-in-law is nothing more than a wealthy idler.But in the official career, the uncle and nephew can echo each other inside and outside the court, so they don't seem so alone.

No matter what Animian thinks, she thinks that the person who communicated with outsiders and leaked the news that she invited Shanniang to the Prince Yi's mansion was the Wei family.And the person who communicated with her must be the imperial concubine or Wang Heng!As for why the noble concubine faction tried their best to facilitate this marriage... there is nothing unpredictable about it, maybe it is to guard against the dual relationship between Qin Jiahong and Wang Yan, brother-in-law and brother-in-law, for fear that Qin Jiahong will become Wang Yan's minister in the future, yes Their great cause caused obstacles, and they were bent on expelling Qin Jiahong from the scholar-official class. This is one of them.Second, Princess Rongcheng is just a little girl after all, and girls cannot inherit the throne. The mother and son used this incident to please the queen, which will naturally be beneficial in the future.

All aspects of this have confirmed Aniang's speculation from the sidelines.And this is not counting Princess Rongcheng's clumsy and flattering performance to Shanniang—I don't know how Princess Rongcheng fell in love with Qin Jiahong, and now she behaves like an ordinary girl who has just begun to love her. Although she was ignorant and thought she was covering it up very well, but based on how well Anise knew her, in Anise's eyes, there was no way to hide her little thoughts.

However, unlike Princess Rongcheng's deliberate closer relationship, apart from being surprised and cautious at the beginning, Shanniang treats Princess Rongcheng very politely and distantly.Although there was nothing rude about it, but... there was just an indescribable indifference, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with Princess Rongcheng.

Huiniang guessed in her heart that Shanniang might have learned about Emperor Longning and the Empress' intention to make Qin Jiayu Shang the Princess through some channels—perhaps someone in the upper echelon of the Qin family had slipped her mouth, and even knew about it. The candidate is Princess Rongcheng, and she has already understood the consequences of being a son-in-law.Her heart is towards her brother, and she doesn't care about the great glory and wealth. She only hopes that her brother can show what he has learned and realize his ambitions. Naturally, looking at Princess Rongcheng is a little awkward.

Maybe, in the bottom of her heart, the little girl has long regarded Princess Rongcheng as a villain who hindered her brother's future.

Originally, in Hui Niang's view, Shanniang and Princess Rongcheng would never have any interaction in their lifetime, and it wouldn't hurt to keep them a little bit apart, on the contrary, it would be good for both parties.However, although Hui Niang didn't want to admit it, the possibility of the two of them becoming sisters-in-law was too great. If Princess Rongcheng accidentally let Princess Rongcheng see that Shan Niang was dissatisfied with her, troubles would easily arise in the future.

In order to avoid such unsightly things from happening, Huiniang had no choice but to reduce the number of times she invited Shanniang to her home, and she rarely went to Qin's house. She only went back twice in the first month, and taking advantage of the many things in the palace, she invited Shanniang to her home. Came once.

As a result, Niang Shan was bored in the capital this New Year. Seeing her distressed, Hui Niang pulled her and asked, "Does it make me feel sad to leave my uncle and aunt? It's because I'm thinking too much. You're going to get married soon. How many more New Year’s Eves can I spend with my uncle and aunt? If you are homesick, I will send you back when the first month comes out, and spend more time with my uncle and aunt.”

When mentioning Qin Mengzhang and Zou's, Shanniang's eyes were full of longing, but she shook her head and said firmly: "I won't go back, I will stay here and help my brother share the burden——I want to see, what is the matter? what result."

She didn't say clearly what "this matter" was, but Huiniang couldn't understand it—it was because she understood that her mood was more complicated: Shanniang must feel that her brother was bullied, and he hasn't come out yet. Justify it.And it just so happens that the bullying party is Huiniang's husband's family, and now she can't even utter words of comfort.

Shanniang looked at Huiniang, but gave a "puchi" smile, "Sister, I know that you and brother-in-law can't do anything about this matter, you don't even have room to talk...I don't blame you! I just... I just want to know why they can't understand my brother so much, and they only want to suppress my brother!" She made a swallowing movement, and seeing that Anise wanted to open her mouth, she said, "I know, I can see it, She... the princess should really like my brother. Although this is against the rules, I can't figure out how she fell in love with my brother. When she talked to me, she didn't have any airs. I responded coldly, and she didn't Angry, she's a nice person."

Hui Niang wanted to speak, but she also wanted to say something for Princess Rongcheng.Princess Rongcheng may be capricious, but her heart is not bad. If Shan Niang has always been prejudiced against her and becomes a sister-in-law in the future, the relationship will not be good, and it will be Qin Jiahong and her uncle and aunt who will be in trouble.

Fortunately, although Shanniang had some resistance to this marriage, she didn't intend to vent her anger on Princess Rongcheng—even Qin Jiahong himself might be like this.

"It's not easy for us to be women." Hui Niang patted Shanniang's hand, "Even if it is a princess of the Kingdom Dynasty, there are few princesses who are as lucky as the Eldest Princess. In the matter of getting married, this is the only way Princess Rongcheng can choose one she likes. Besides, it is also because Prince Yanping left early, and the emperor loves the only remaining prostitute. Because of this, she has to be used as a wife. Article. In the final analysis, it is those people who only have interests in their eyes who deserve to be killed, as long as there is even a little bit of something that can be used by them, it will have to make waves."

"Yeah, the princess is also being used by someone..." Shan Niang paused, with a mysterious look on her face, "But, even if she was used by someone, it was her father and her brother. She enjoys When I arrived in Ronghua, I saw that I could achieve what I wanted, so what can I do if I am wronged? I only feel sorry for my brother - this matter is known to everyone, the eldest brother is now in the Imperial Academy, and everyone respects him at a distance , no one asked him to do things, and no one was willing to interact with him in private. They had already recognized that the eldest brother would not be with them in the future, and they didn't even leave a chance to prove themselves..."

"Is there such a thing?" Hui Niang also stopped listening for a while.She frowned. As soon as Qin Jiahong got the fame, he entered the Imperial Academy according to the usual practice. This is the most orthodox way for the champions in the past. If there is no such thing as the princess, he will be released in three years at the earliest, and he will slowly move forward. Climbing up, if things go well, you can return to Beijing when you are around 40 years old. At that time, you must be a servant, and he must be the most promising one in the same year. People around you are not competing to curry favor with each other from now on, and have a good relationship with the champion?Being so polite and alienated is just because Qin Jiahong wants to be the princess, and he will follow the path of a nobleman in the future, so he and Wen Chen will naturally not be in the same circle.Most of this group of Jinshi studied hard since they were young, didn't know much about the difficulties of the world, and just entered the officialdom. They have never seen the darkness of the officialdom. They are the most innocent and noble group of people. Naturally, he would not get close to Qin Jiahong.

Civil servants are alienated from him, and his relatives have not yet accepted him... I am afraid that for Qin Jiahong now, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, it is urgent to have a result as soon as possible and get rid of this neither embarrassing nor embarrassing status quo.
