Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"What's the matter?"

Shu Jiao asked even though she knew the answer.

"Princess Rong, now that the prince has returned to the capital, do you have any plans to get married? To be honest, I love the prince so much that I have been waiting for him all day long."

"I wonder if the prince has someone he likes? If not, why not marry into my family? My daughter has admired the prince for many years."

"My girl is very beautiful!"

"My girl is a virtuous and good housewife!"

Before Shu Jiao could say anything, several ladies started to confront each other.

After all, there is only one prince, and there is only one position for the prince's consort.

Not to mention that their daughter really loves Zhao Xi.

Based on the conditions alone, Zhao Xi is also the best choice as a husband.

Firstly, Zhao Xi, as the eldest son of the Rong Palace, is a royal noble with an extraordinary status, and is a guaranteed prince.

Secondly, Zhao Xi is a man of both civil and military talents, and he has military achievements to his name, so he will definitely have a bright future. He is good-looking, mild-tempered, reasonable, and respectful of rules, so he won't do such rotten things as favoring a concubine and destroying his wife. And he hasn't had a woman around him for so many years, so rare!

Thirdly, Princess Rong is such a good mother-in-law! Who in the capital doesn't know the reputation of Princess Rong's virtue?

If she entered the Rong Palace, her daughter would definitely not be bullied by her mother-in-law, who would set those torturous rules...

No matter how you look at it, Prince Rong’s Mansion is a blessed place.

Who doesn’t want their daughter to have a happy life?

Several ladies looked murderous in their eyes.

Shu Jiao smiled and dismissed them all, thinking that her future daughter-in-law must be under a lot of pressure~

The whole capital is full of love rivals.

Not long after, Shu Jiao chose a girl from the Marquis's Mansion who had a bright and beautiful appearance and a straightforward personality.

Zhao Xi likes it very much.

Because this girl is really easy to understand. Although she has some tricks and the ability to manage a family, she doesn't have many twists and turns in her mind.

Zhao Xi likes this kind of silly ones.

After all, his sisters at home were taught by his mother to be black-hearted, the kind who would sell others out and then let them count the money.

It’s better to be a little stupid.

When dealing with stupid people, you don't need to use your brain and can be fooled with just two sentences.

After getting married, Shu Jiao delegated power to her daughter-in-law and gradually transferred all the affairs of the house, big and small, to her hands.

She has worked so hard for so many years and wants to take a break.

After only one year, my daughter-in-law became pregnant, and gave birth to a son the following year. Everything went smoothly.

The empress dowager, who was already very old in the palace, was overjoyed when she heard this!

Now that Prince Rong has a grandson, she no longer has to worry about Prince Rong's condition in his old age.

As if she had let go of her last worry, the empress dowager passed away in her sleep without any illness or pain within two years. Before she died, she was still thinking of leaving a portion of her inheritance to Zhao Xi's son.

Gradually, the emperor grew old.

He is neither a despicable ruler nor a tyrant.

But as an emperor, it is always difficult to accept the fact that he is getting old, and it is also difficult to sincerely delegate the power of governing the world to the prince.

Even if that is his own son.

This royal father and son are almost at the point of drawing their swords against each other.

For a moment, Shu Jiao was actually wondering whether to push Zhao Xi to the throne.

This is a bit difficult though.

But it is possible if you try hard.

But Zhao Xi refused.

He has had a very good relationship with the prince over the years and really doesn't want to destroy this rare brotherhood, and it would be too troublesome for him to rebel.

"alright."

Shu Jiao didn't care.

Anyway, it was Zhao Xi who chose the path himself, so he can do whatever he wants.

But in the end Zhao Xi still participated in the rebellion.

He and his brother, the crown prince, together with the husbands of his eight sisters, raised an army to rebel in the capital and had successfully forced the emperor to abdicate.

The emperor was promoted to emperor emeritus.

Zhao Xi conferred the title of King Rongrui on him and gave him a large piece of fiefdom.

By the time Shu Jiao learned the news, Prince Rong had already beaten Zhao Xi in the front yard, sent him to kneel in the ancestral hall, and went into the palace to visit the retired emperor.

"Haha~"

Shu Jiao entered the ancestral hall and looked at Zhao Xi's face covered in bruises. She laughed out loud with gloating, "Is this the first time your father hit you?"

"Mother~"

Zhao Xi looked at her helplessly, "Don't you feel sorry for your son?"

"You asked for it. I don't feel bad for you."

Shu Jiao pulled out a white porcelain medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to him, "You knew that your father and the emperor were brothers, and they were so close that they wore the same pants, yet you dared to rebel against the emperor behind your father's back."

"It's a light punishment that he didn't beat you to death, you rebellious son."

"Dad won't do anything to me."

Zhao Xi rubbed the bruises on his face and said confidently, "At most he'll just beat me up, and everything will be fine once he calms down."

This is the confidence that Prince Rong has given him because he has cared for him for many years.

He knew very well that his father loved him deeply.

When he was a child and didn't know much, he often talked back to his father and caused trouble for him, but his father was reluctant to touch him.

This is why he dared to rebel.

Anyway, his father would not beat him to death. If the rebellion succeeded, the next three generations of his family would be able to live off the old capital.

Lost?

If you lose, just ask your dad to step in.

After the Queen Mother passed away, the Emperor had only Prince Rong as his relative, and the older he got, the more he valued him. If his father came forward to plead for mercy, neither he nor the Crown Prince would be killed.

So these two daring guys decided to rebel without hesitation.

How does that saying go?

Those who are favored are always confident.

Shu Jiao thought about it and slapped him on the forehead, "You just want to make trouble for your father. He is already old, and you don't even ask him to calm down. You too, your son is already grown up, and you are just rebelling now?"

"You're making a big deal right away. Are you worried that I'll leave too late with your father?"

Zhao Xi tilted his head back and laughed, preparing to play dumb and get away with it.

Shu Jiao glared at him, turned around, dragged Prince Rong away from Prince Rong's Mansion, and took the Emperor and the Empress Dowager out of Beijing for a trip.

After tasting the sweetness of freedom among mountains and rivers, the emperor and the empress dowager were unwilling to return to the square palace that was like a cage.

Four old men and women were wandering around outside all day.

Two years later, the Empress Dowager's health deteriorated and she passed away first; a few months later, the Emperor Retired also passed away.

Another year passed, and Prince Rong also passed away.

In fact, he has never been in good health. He fought on the battlefield in his early years and came back with a lot of injuries.

It's okay when you are young and strong, but when you get old, all kinds of troubles will come to you.

"Jiaojiao, I'm leaving."

Prince Rong held Shu Jiao's hand and looked at her old but still beautiful face. "You're fine. If that brat Zhao Xi is unfilial, tell me and I'll come back in my dream to teach him a lesson."

Shu Jiao burst into tears, "Grandpa, please don't abandon me. What will I do without you?"

"Ahem~ If you go out to play again, remember to bring your guards with you and be careful... Ahem... I really have to go. I'll wait for you downstairs."

He closed his eyes and passed away.

"Throw flowers!"

003 jumped out, "Host, you are free!"

"Ah~ He's finally dead!"

Shu Jiao pulled her hand out and stretched lazily. "Let's finish his funeral and leave quickly. I still have eighteen beauties in Yangzhou!"

The source of her happiness for the rest of her life~

She is coming!
