After rebirth, I made the princes cry

On this day, a rare guest came to Xianyueju.

The rare guest is Wang Jie, Yingshu's eldest cousin.

No one in the entire Wang family mansion knew how much Ying Shu respected Wang Jie, but Wang Jie never went to the boudoir of his cousins. This situation was not due to restrictions on etiquette and family rules, like Wang Rong and Wang Jie Ge The two of them, knowing that their sister Wang Qing'e was extremely jealous of Ying Shu, went to Xianyue Residence more diligently than to Qingfeng Residence - they borrowed money from Ying Shu, a little rich man.

When Wang Jie came, Ying Shu was teaching the little maid Sang Luotou Hu, and taught her step by step. Her epiphyllum-like face was almost close to the little maid's wheat-colored face. Wang Jie also always knew that this cousin was not good at throwing pots. He was very particular about respectability. Like his younger uncle Wang Dao, as long as he felt that the other party had the same temperament and didn't mind her family background, he wouldn't be surprised by Ying Shu's behavior and even invited a fight: "Would you like to follow me, Fifth Sister?" Shall I have a try?"

Yingshu was not timid and raised her chin: "Let's compare."

As Ying Shu's pot-throwing teacher, Xuanying was well versed in the skills of her "students", so she immediately moved a small screen and placed it in front of the pot. The screen was two inches higher than the pot body, making it more difficult. Shu threw first and showed off her skills right after entering the pot. After putting the arrow into the pot, the arrow bounced out. Ying Shu followed up with the arrow and threw it. This technique is called "Xiao". Ying Shu continued to throw more than ten Xiao, but the arrow was not there yet. After setting the pot, the score doubled many times - Dan Ying, who was in charge of scoring, was so busy that she was sweating.

Wang Jie smiled: "If we vote like this, we will be able to determine the winner in most of the day."

"Brother, have you surrendered?"

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced." Wang Jie said: "Fifth sister's pot-throwing skills, I'm afraid even Guisujun will be inferior to me."

Not mentioning the other princes, but just mentioning Nanci, Yingshu glared at Wang Jie and invited him to sit in the pavilion bridge. She didn't say anything for now, but continued to glare at Wang Jie angrily. The silk-like long eyelashes were motionless, but dissatisfaction seemed to be dripping from the tips of the eyelashes. Even though Wang Jie was calm-minded, he felt a little uncomfortable after being stared at. He clenched his fists and coughed.

"Brother, you are so scheming. You must have convinced Nanci, and Nanci invited Aunt Ren to be a lobbyist. This is great. Even my mother-in-law agreed to send me to the palace to be selected. I am confused, and I want to Go into the palace and fight with the empress, the third lady and other old warriors. Brother, you are not afraid of a naughty girl like me who is still young. I haven’t even had time to figure out the secrets, but I will be quartered by those warriors?"

"Queen?" Wang Jie heard the important point.

"Mr. Penglai came to my house yesterday to remind me to be careful of Queen Yu. As soon as my mother-in-law heard that Queen Yu was not what she seemed, she wished she could go back on her word. Originally, when I entered the palace, I only needed to cooperate with Your Majesty to be safe and secure, Madam Xie. I am assisting His Majesty in consolidating His Royal Highness the crown prince's throne. How could I know that even Queen Yu has other thoughts? If this is really the case, I took a big risk for His Highness the Crown Prince, but in the end I was dealt with by the Queen. I am not unjust. "

"But when I look at Fifth Sister's expression, it doesn't look like she's afraid."

"What's the use of being afraid? You can't go back on your word if you're afraid." Yingshu sighed in a dignified manner: "I just see that Queen Yu is really an old warrior. She can distinguish between friends and foes and interests. If she can see the situation clearly, she will know My broken bridge board didn't need any labor at all. She crossed the river and started to tear it down, and then fell into the river and floated away."

"From the perspective of Fifth Sister, does His Highness the Crown Prince have the potential to become a wise king in China's prosperous era?"

Yingshu's eyelashes finally raised: "Brother, His Royal Highness is the successor chosen by His Majesty. Since Your Majesty has made this decision, is it possible that he has chosen the wrong person?"

"Your Majesty chooses the heir apparent first. When your Majesty established the country in Jiangdong, many noble families actually opposed the Yu family, who came from a poor family, to be granted the title of queen. However, after all, the Yu family is His Majesty's first wife. Your Majesty attaches great importance to love and righteousness. He was willing to bear the relationship between husband and wife and insisted on making the Yu family his queen. Although the current prince is not your majesty's direct eldest son, the eldest son born when the Yu family was in Qiandi was sent to Luoyang as a hostage. When your majesty left the fiefdom without permission, the eldest son He was executed by Huan Yin, the great Sima at that time."

"The implication of the eldest brother's words is that His Majesty did not choose his heir based on talent. How much was it out of guilt towards Queen Yu? Was he being cheated by Queen Yu?"

Wang Nod nodded.

"Even so, our King Langyi cannot disobey the Holy Will. Even my grandfather and uncle uphold the principle of loyalty to His Majesty. As a mere little girl, I can only pour whatever pot Your Majesty points to." The arrow was thrown."

Wang Jie smiled: "I know that Fifth Sister is very smart. Even though she is not as talented as a hairpin, she can still distinguish the pros and cons."

Yingshu also smiled: "I couldn't help but feel proud when I heard that eldest brother praised me. Tell me, eldest brother, have you praised me more times than you have praised my second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother?"

"When did I praise the third and fifth brothers?"

Yingshu laughed out loud: "Not once."

"Fifth sister and Guisujun have a friendship that they have accumulated since they were young. Guisujun even admitted in person that he admired fifth sister. Guisujun has not yet been involved in the dispute over the heir apparent. In the future, fifth sister will succeed and retire. It would be a good place to stay away from the court with Mr. Guisu."

Yingshu just laughed.

She knew what happened after Sikong Beichen came to the throne. Nan Ci couldn't escape unscathed. If Nan Ci retreated unscathed, he had to kick Sikong Beichen from the throne, and she would not retire after success. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, she cannot feel completely at ease. She must hold military and political power to protect herself and those she cherishes.

"After the fifth sister enters the palace, if you need me somewhere, you can pass the message to me through Lord Guisu." Finally, Wang Jie gave instructions.

"Okay, I finally feel a little safer now that my eldest brother is here to advise me." Yingshu sent Wang Jie off to Chuxian Yue Residence. She walked briskly, bathed in the February spring sun, and her whole body was sparkling. She didn't forget to joke a few words. Eldest brother: "It's just that when the eldest brother marries his bride, I can't drink the wedding wine. I have to wish the eldest brother first that he will be loving and happy with his future sister-in-law and have children together."

Wang Jie came out of Xianyueju and went directly to see Wang Lan, but Wang Lan was not in the study. His old wife Wen had a headache and sent her maid to call Wang Lan back to Juyuan. At this time, she was complaining to Wang Lan. : "Dai'er wants Qing'e to enter the palace, but Dao'er doesn't want to allow Emperor Xiu to enter the palace. You have to listen to Wang Jie's instigation and go against the wishes of the two sons. This is great. Dai'er and his wife are dissatisfied. Dao'er The couple is even more heartbroken. I have told you that Wang Jie has bad intentions and wants the Guangmingtang family to be uneasy in order to avenge his biological ancestors, father and mother. But you still refuse to listen and actually force Jun'er to do something serious. Wang Jie is the eldest son, and the position of patriarch will be handed over to Wang Jie in the future!"

Wang Lan's face was as wrinkled as rattan paper that had been crumpled up and unfolded, but he felt that his old wife was just talking nonsense and had not done anything to treat Wang Jie harshly, so he was embarrassed to get angry and spoke softly. Reason: "Qing'e herself didn't want to enter the palace, and she even arranged a tryst and elopement with the Pei family's son. All seven princes witnessed it with their own eyes. How could she be allowed to apply? This matter has nothing to do with Jie'er, alas. , I know you are complaining for Yun'er, but why don't you ask Yun'er why he was ever willing to take on the important task of being the head of the clan?"

"I've made it clear to you. No matter what, you must keep Emperor Xiu safe and sound. She is the only one on the island. If anything happens to Emperor Xiu, I will fight Wang Jie to the death! He has How cruel, only an old fool like you can't see it! After all, Zeng's daughter is his cousin. At first, Wang Jie blindly allowed Zeng's daughter to be arrogant and unruly without giving any warning. Finally, he allowed Zeng's daughter to get into great trouble. He also He executed Zeng's daughter with his own hands. This way, he gained a reputation for being impartial and impartial. When others discussed this matter, they also said that Wang Jie fulfilled his duties as a relative, but it was Zeng's daughter who was not satisfied and deserved her death."

"I said you were fine, but why do you have a headache again? It turns out you have so many other things to worry about." Wang Lan sighed.

After he comforted his old wife, he returned to the study and saw Wang Jie sitting at the table, maintaining a meticulous manner while reading the documents alone. He sighed again, went over and patted Wang Jie on the shoulder: "There are no outsiders, why do you have to do this?" When I was only twenty years old, I felt very tired from sitting in the posture, and after talking to my father and grandfather, I wished I could lie down for an hour."

Seeing that Wang Jie just smiled and still refused to let go of his etiquette, Wang Lan shook his head again and thought to himself: The old wife doesn't want to think about it, let alone Yun'er. Just talk about the eldest son Wang Jun, but also the second son Wang Dai and the youngest son Wang. Is the island relaxing and happy? The position of the head of the clan is really a prize. The head of a family is actually the most tiring person in the family, let alone the clan leader.

"How is Emperor Xiu? You're not losing your temper, are you?" Wang Lan asked.

"Fifth sister really understands justice."

"So, with so many grandchildren, how can you blame me for being partial to you and Di Xiu? I have actually thought about it. Even though Di Xiu is too narrow-minded, she still understands the overall situation at critical moments. Saburo and his wife are used to her, and they also treat her She has developed a character that is fearless, not timid, but reasonable. Sometimes I really feel sorry, why is Dixiu a girl? If she were a son... I, the Wang family of Langyi, will have another Zhilan It’s Yushu.”

Wang Jie actually nodded subconsciously, and immediately frowned: "Jie looked at the intentions of the third uncle and third aunt, and now they all hope that your majesty can comply with Guisu Jun's request. However, Jie is a little worried, and your majesty is even more worried." I promise to assign my fifth sister to the prince in the future."

Wang Jie used the word "assignment" instead of granting a marriage. Wang Lan understood in her heart: "The Queen Mother has no maternal support, and His Majesty's strategy of suppressing the eight powerful families is not achievable in the short term. His Majesty's choice of Crown Princess is more promising." For the daughter of the Lu family in Fanyang, this is also a necessary means to consolidate the throne, but for Emperor Xiu to be the crown prince Liangdi in the future, let alone Sanlang and Sanlang's wife, even I feel that she has been wronged."

"Therefore, my grandfather should tell your majesty frankly that the daughter of King Langyi does not seek wealth and power, especially Emperor Xiu. She has a temper that is least willing to be restrained. Among the princes, only Mr. Guisu can accommodate the fifth sister."

"Jie'er was very considerate for Emperor Xiu." Wang Lan had no intention of marrying the royal family at all.

His youngest daughter admired His Majesty back then, and His Majesty also revealed his intention to grant the Wang daughter the title of "Madam", but Wang Lan declined the offer. This was not because he did not want his legitimate daughter to be subordinated to others, but because he could see that His Majesty had no romantic feelings for his little daughter at all. Firstly, he was moved by the little daughter's infatuation, and partly out of gratitude for his constant help. Wang Lan understood the emperor's intention, but at that time Lang Lang King Yi already has power in the government and the opposition. If he becomes a relative again, it will be detrimental to the monarch's ability to balance the political opinions of other powerful people.

But this time, His Majesty needed his granddaughter to enter the palace, stabilize Mrs. Xie, and let the families behind Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. He target Chenjun Xie. Strategically, he completely ignored the queen and the prince, and the three surnames were fighting. Not to mention that one of them must die, at least if the stalemate remains stalemate for a period of time, your majesty will be free to consolidate the power of the prince. This determines that when Ying Shu enters the palace, she cannot directly become a female official like Penglai Jun, otherwise Mrs. Xie will She would be suspicious, how could Yingshu be allowed to be a candidate for the imperial concubine from the emperor's harem? The natural appointment of a female official still required some calculations, and there was another issue that made Wang Lan think about it.

It took a lot of effort for the family to produce a girl who is both courageous and seems to have a very smart mind. It would be a bit of a waste to just marry a child of a middle-grade friendly family, but if she remains a female official, the court has laws. Female officials can only resign from the palace and marry when they are twenty-five years old. Penglai Jun was the most talented woman in Jiankang back then. Jiangdong Gu, who was born in a family of eight powerful families, ended up becoming a female official. , He couldn't even make the decision in the clan's internal affairs, which made Jiangdong Gu's clan leader sigh with regret.

Wang Lan now hopes that Ying Shu can become the prince's concubine.
