No more fairy tales, the wind rises in the harem

After sending Xiao Xin away, Xiao Tingsheng pondered that Empress Liu and Xiao Xin's attitude towards the Xun family was completely different from the previous life. Could it be that they were also reborn, Tingsheng pondered hard.If they were born again, it all makes sense.If we help them this time and destroy their marriage with the Xun family, Daliang can certainly avoid many disasters, but Yuan Shi will not be born.Xiao Tingsheng felt in a dilemma.

Tingsheng decided to secretly send people to collect the affairs of Sun's family first, and then decide what to do after the investigation is clear.

On the other hand, Grandfather Liu also discussed with his sons and decided to send the Liu family's secret guards to track down the Sun family's handles, so as to help Liu Hou and the prince to earn a place for the Liu family in the court again.

After Xiao Xin returned to the East Palace, she was still very worried, so she entered the palace again and went to Zhengyang Palace to greet her mother.

After Xiao Xin saluted, Empress Liu gave her a seat.

Seeing that the eldest son looked unhappy, she asked, "Don't you believe that your grandfather and brothers will help you?"

The eldest son replied: "That's not the case. Apart from Xun Xiafeng, the Xun family has other daughters. My son thought what if they would take the second place and send the concubine daughter into the East Palace as a concubine?"

"Don't worry, the queen mother will do everything she can to let any daughter of the Xun family enter the gate of the East Palace." Empress Liu said firmly.

The eldest son replied: "I thank you, my queen! But my father may take his anger out on you."

Empress Liu replied: "Don't worry, I won't confront him head-on! I still have something to rely on. I can ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother to call all the dignitaries of the right age to stay in the palace for a while, in the name of praying for the country. After a long time, as long as they don't When the water in the bowl is level, they will be jealous of each other, and then they will definitely reveal their true nature.

The eldest son knelt down and kowtowed and said: "I don't want my mother to do this. If the father thinks that you are meddling in the harem and gets angry with you, the villain will benefit!"

Liu Hou shook her head and replied: "Since ancient times, although marriage is the order of the parents, it is actually the female family members who are responsible for investigating which daughter is the right candidate. After all, the rich and powerful daughters are raised in deep boudoirs. How do men outside know the talents of the daughter of the family?" How about it! I didn’t do it like a rooster, I was called by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager back then, and I was summoned by the imperial concubine at the time to observe it, and the late emperor made a decree.”

The eldest son also shook his head and replied: "At that time, although the imperial grandmother summoned the daughters of different ages, the emperor's grandfather had already appointed the daughter of Liu Guogong's mansion as the father's imperial concubine. The emperor's grandmother just selected a suitable one among the daughters of the Liu family. It is most suitable, so that the father married the mother and married the Liu family, the head of civil servants at that time."

Liu Zai replied: "It is precisely because of this that we have to pretend to be ignorant this time, and make the water as muddy as possible, so that you can avoid this disaster."

The eldest son said worriedly: "We have to disturb the emperor's grandmother about the matter of our juniors. I'm afraid the father will blame you!"

Empress Liu reluctantly replied: "There's no other way, your grandmother's wisdom is much higher than your mother's! And your father is always obedient to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager..."

"In that case, let's take our brother with us, let's say that through this thousand gold feast, we can also help the third brother choose a candidate for the princess, so that the emperor will only think that you are an evil mother-in-law who picks on the future daughter-in-law, rather than the harem. It’s not like the father doesn’t know the son, and the law doesn’t punish everyone.” The eldest son kowtowed and gritted his teeth.
