Chapter 422 Are you really going to have a baby?(1/2)
"The mother's method cannot be called a method at all."
Xiao Chengwen retorted sternly and showed no mercy.
Empress Dowager Tao held back her anger and asked, "What do you think you should do? Watch Shi Wen get into a big shot, unscrupulous and powerful. Is this what you call the solution?"
Xiao Chengwen said calmly: "Why does Shi Wen make people feel afraid? Because he has received favor from other court officials, the emperor obeys his will. As long as the emperor wakes up and looks at Shi Wen calmly, all this is not worth worrying."
"If I can convince the emperor, why do you need to give me some advice? The emperor has become a demon, as if he was poisoned by someone. It must be Shi Wen who used some means to confuse the emperor. He was not like this before. Can you check what means Shi Wen used to make the emperor confused?"
Xiao Chengwen was a little worried.
This kind of meaningless quarrel is a waste of time.
He suggested: "My mother should talk to the emperor first and see what he said, and we will make a plan."
"He didn't see me at all. Yesterday, the Japanese Palace sent someone to invite him to the Changle Palace for a banquet, but you all know that he wanted to share dinner with Shi Wen. It's really awesome!"
When Empress Dowager Tao thought of this, she felt heartache and felt uncomfortable all over.
Xiao Chengwen frowned slightly and said, "I'll go talk to the emperor."
Empress Dowager Tao was instantly happy, "You should have been like this long ago! As the emperor's brother, don't always hide in the palace without seeing anyone. You should also come out and walk around occasionally."
Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled, "If I had come out and walk around from time to time, my mother would have been worried again."
Empress Dowager Tao defended: "What are I worried about? The overall situation has been decided, you are also a loyal person, I am not worried."
Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled sarcastically.
Instead of defending, he stood up and said goodbye, and went to Xingqing Palace to meet the saint.
...
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi rarely let Xiao Chengwen go for an hour before he could meet him.
This move reveals a very bad signal.
As expected, as soon as he opened his mouth to lift Shi Wen, the emperor scolded him angrily.
"My second brother is here to persuade me to stay away from the Marquis of Pingwu? If your purpose is this, I advise you to save your worries."
Xiao Chengwen was speechless, and for the first time he felt like a MMP.
It turns out that he is possessed by the devil.
He changed his question, "Can I ask, why does Your Majesty trust Pingwu Hou so much?"
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengwen laughed, "The reason is obvious. Marquis of Pingwu is the first minister who can really share my worries and not cause trouble for me. I don't trust him. Do you have to trust those ministers who only know how to talk but are unable to solve problems? You have reminded me before that you should know people and be good at placing them and value talented officials. Who else is more capable than Shi Wen?"
Xiao Chengwen: "..."
Suddenly, I felt like the emperor had gone astray.
I really want to scold people!
He took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Your Majesty can reuse Shi Wen, but you should not favor him too much. I think a certain distance should be maintained between the monarch and his subjects."
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi sneered, "What should I do, how should I get along with the king and the ministers? No need for you, Second Brother, to teach me. I am no longer the way I did when I ascended the throne. I know how to grasp the right measure. Second Brother has nothing else to do, so please leave! I am very busy, full of things, and I don't have time to discuss whether it should be done or not."
Xiao Chengwen smiled, bowed and left Xingqing Palace.
After returning to the palace, he smashed his favorite inkstone.
He was so angry!
He fully understood Empress Dowager Tao's anger.
The emperor's ability to be angry has increased.
I really want to beat him up.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of ecstasy Shi Wen had given the emperor.
...
Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi: “…”
I am already a mature emperor.
He is an emperor with two years of work experience.
How could you be influenced by your words?
Don't stumble in my ear, like a mosquito, and wish I could slap it to death.
Even if you say a flower, you will not be able to stop me from using Shi Wen and favoring Shi Wen.
Shi Aiqing is the minister I need.
As for you, compared to Shi Aiqing, they are all trash.
This is the emperor's attitude!
Firm and begging for a fight!
...
Zhuyang Princess Mansion.
Xiao was quite melancholy.
The wedding date of Yan Yunge and Xiao Yi has been set.
It's not that she is anxious to marry her daughter.
She wanted to continue to delay until the marriage was cancelled.
She even had the idea of asking Shi Wen to help cancel the marriage.
In other words, the wedding date was actually decided by Yan Yunge.
"Mother, don't sigh. You used to say that I am a girl's family and I will get married sooner or later. I also said that I must get married. Now that my daughter has set the marriage date, why are you unhappy again?"
Xiao gave her a blank look, "Are you so anxious to get married? Is this palace wronged you?"
"Looking at what my mother said, wouldn't my daughter become a heartless ungrateful wolf? I'm also reducing the burden on my mother."
"You are not a burden to me. To be honest, I regret it. If you don't want to get married, I won't force you in the future. Let's go to Pingwu Hou Shi Wen and ask him for help to terminate your engagement with Xiao Yi, okay?"
Xiao obviously loved his daughter and was a little anxious.
Yan Yunge held her hand and comforted her: "My daughter will marry sooner or later. It's nothing wrong with setting the wedding date as soon as possible. Moreover, my daughter is not young anymore, and girls of my age are basically married. Mother, please relax."
Xiao sighed, "I knew that you actually had a little bit of meaning to Xiao Yi. So, from the beginning to the end, you did not object to this marriage. But, would it be too hasty to set the wedding date in September?
You just say that you can't contact Xiao Yi. The little bastard doesn't know where to go. When he doesn't care about him, he comes to the door every day to be annoying. Now when he needs to show up, he can't find anyone. I think he is just trying to fight with me."
Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Mother, Xiao Yi will receive the news soon and rush back to the capital."
Xiao frowned, "You haven't told me why the marriage is scheduled in September? Are you so anxious to get married? Can't you wait until the end of the year or wait for the next year to get married? The marriage is scheduled in September. Your second brother will definitely not come, and your father will also miss your marriage. Could it be that you plan to go back to Shanggu County to get married?"
"Of course my daughter got married in the capital! She has the opportunity to go back to Shanggu County and have another banquet. As for why the wedding date is set in September, my daughter is worried. If she doesn't get married this year, she may not have the chance to get married in the future! At that time, will the mother be worried?"
"I don't understand this. Why can't we get married after this year? Is there anything special about it?"
Yan Yunge lowered his head and thought, "Some words that my daughter doesn't want to say, especially when she talks behind her back. Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, was promoted to prime minister, and the struggle in the court became more and more intense. Perhaps because of her daughter's concern, I always have an unknown premonition."
Xiao suddenly became nervous, "Why is it unknown?"
Yan Yunge shook his head repeatedly, "I can't say the specific ones, I just feel that the "momentum" in the world has obviously changed! I can't figure out how to change it now. Perhaps, the problem is in the north, or it may be in the court. Has my mother communicated frequently with her father recently? What did my father say in the letter?"
"It's still the same. Your father is very annoying. He will reuse Yan Yunquan and reuse your second brother to provoke a fight between the two sides. I am very annoyed. I wrote to him several times, telling him that your second brother doesn't care about the position of the prince of the Marquis's mansion. But your father doesn't listen at all."
When Xiao talked about Yan Shouzhan, he was full of resentment.
The couple has been despising each other, guarding against each other, and fearing each other for decades.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao asked again: "You set a date for marriage because you have an unknown premonition in your heart and are in a hurry to get married?"
Yan Yunge pouted and retorted, "I am not in a hurry to get married! I just want my mother to rest assured."
"I am not at ease when you marry him. I don't stay at home all day long and can't even find anyone. Can you have a peaceful life if you marry him?"
Yan Yunge laughed, "This is not right. If he is not here, no one will bother me. I live in the princess's mansion and accompany my mother."
"That won't happen! If you marry him, you will form a family with him. Of course, you should put your small family first and grow up as soon as possible..."
"Oh, let's not say anything about giving birth to a baby or something. I'm afraid of children."
Xiao laughed.
"I knew you would say that. How many times have you ever held your second sister's daughter over the years? Can you count the five fingers?"
Yan Yunge shook his head repeatedly and nodded again.
The number of times she hugged Nannan should, maybe, five times!
But, she is really afraid of children.
I am afraid that the child will be damaged by force when my hands are used.
The disadvantage of being born with great strength is that sometimes you can't control your strength.
I felt that I didn't use any force, very light...
