Just when Prince Xian's Mansion and Cheng'an Bo's Mansion were looking for their own reasons and counting on each other to speak, everyone in the capital was surprised to see that the Northern Barbarians had already left, but Prince Xian's Mansion and Cheng'an Bo's Mansion had yet to see any action. .

No one paid any attention to the pair of the Sixth Prince and Shen Qiujun.

Besides, it doesn't matter if I didn't wear a red wedding dress that day, but everyone carried her to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to worship heaven and earth. It has been more than a month now. With the Sixth Prince's temperament of never suffering any loss, it was just a fake marriage. It must be a real wedding, so no one has time to pay attention to the two of them.

However, everyone couldn't help but murmur about the incident between King Xian and Uncle Cheng'an.

Some people say: The wise king is benevolent and righteous, and Li Yaoqin is loyal and loyal. This can be regarded as a match made in heaven.

Some people retorted: If the legitimate daughter of the uncle's house is a concubine, she is considered to be loyal and loyal. She must be a virtuous king to repay his kindness.

Others on the side objected and said: It must be the Anbo Mansion in Chengdu who sold his daughter for glory in order to gain access to power.

At that time, there were different opinions, and everyone had praise and criticism for these two families.

At a banquet, Mrs. Lin of Duke Dingguo's residence took advantage of the wine to express her opinion.

To be honest, although Mrs. Lin didn't think much of Shangcheng Amber, she spoke highly of Mrs. Li. She saw Li Yaoqin's composure and filial piety that day, so she also developed a certain fondness for Li Yaoqin.

Later, because of the crown prince, Li Yaoqin gained a reputation as a loyal woman and became a role model for women in the capital. Mrs. Lin liked her more for her character of not fearing power. However, when the Northern Barbarian Prince nominated Li Yaoqin, Mrs. Lin's love for her stopped. The temperature dropped quickly.

It can be said to be an accident, and various situations occurred one after another. I have to say that it is probably the girl herself who is not doing well, otherwise, why is it that she is the only lady in the capital who keeps getting into trouble?

In addition, this time, it was obviously the wise king who helped her avoid disaster. Now the northern barbarians may have left Daqi a long time ago. Why hasn't Cheng Anbo Mansion come to cancel the engagement? It can be seen that everything before was done to outsiders. See.

At this time, Mrs. Lin didn't know that her son was infatuated with Li Yaoqin. In addition, she was close to the wise king. Naturally, she couldn't help but be partial. Taking advantage of the wine, she said: "The matter has been clear for a long time. The wise king is benevolent and righteous. Help After marrying Mrs. Li, the matter is over now. Uncle Cheng An should come to thank her and propose to void the verbal agreement. Now it seems that the Li family wants to rely on this marriage. As for Mrs. Li, since she is a noble daughter Even being a stepmother is better than being a concubine, but she didn't say a word at all. It was a waste of the name of chastity. From this point of view, she is only worthy of being a concubine. Who is blind enough to ask for a wife? .”

Fortunately, it was just a gathering of relatives and friends. Looking at Mrs. Lin's appearance, we knew that she had drunk too much, so she hurriedly asked people to bring sobering soup. And because she had the highest status here, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all agreed with their mouths. Sound. It also concerns the wise king and Cheng'an Bo, so no one dares to say anything.

However, after Mrs. Lin sobered up, she couldn't help but regret that she should not have been carried away by everyone because she drank too much. She suddenly lost her sight and spoke harshly to Meng Lang. Fortunately, they were all trusted relatives, friends, and family members, and they would not spread the word even if she thought about it. For this reason, I no longer dare to drink more freely outside.

But what Mrs. Lin didn't expect was that not long after, she would be slapped so hard that when she saw her relatives and friends at the banquet that day, she was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head. Good look.

The wise king had also heard about the discussions in the capital, but in the end most of them were demoted to the Anbo Mansion to cling to the powerful. For him, most of them said that in order to protect Li Yaoqin's face, he waited for the Li family to come and cancel the engagement.

The wise king didn't take it seriously and just waited for the beauty to fall into his arms.

When Cheng Anbo made this plan, he had already expected that there would be today's discussion, but it was just the sourness of those who couldn't eat the grapes. Not everyone can be the father-in-law of the future emperor. As long as his daughter marries to the palace, After giving birth to a son in a few years, those discussions naturally disappeared. When the wise king becomes emperor, I don’t know how many people will be jealous.

Seeing that some days had passed and there was still no movement in Cheng'an Bo Mansion, Shen Lijun finally couldn't sit still.

Mrs. Shen also saw that Uncle Cheng An really wanted to get married, so she had no choice but to act accordingly.

First, the old lady felt unwell, so Shen Hou and his wife had no choice but to follow the monks and nuns' advice and spend three days doing good deeds in various nunneries.

Shen Lijun then filed a record with Xian Wang and wanted to visit Cheng'an Mansion to see if he could take the opportunity to discuss the wedding date. Xian Wang acted coyly and agreed. So Shen Lijun asked someone to send a post to Mrs. Li: I heard that the chrysanthemums in my mansion are blooming just right, so I want to go over and enjoy the scenery.

Mrs. Li understood that this must be the purpose of Shen Lijun coming to see her, but her daughter was a daughter of an uncle's house, so she could not be bought as a concubine by just anyone, so she advised Li Yaoqin to stay away on that day.

Li Yaoqin knew that Shen Lijun had never wanted to see her, and she probably wanted to vent her anger this time. Besides, she had no class, so she might not be able to kneel down and be humiliated, so she nodded in agreement.

On that day, Shen Lijun arrived at Cheng'anbo Mansion early in the morning.

Mrs. Li hurriedly took her in. After tea, Shen Lijun smiled and said, "I wonder if I can meet sister Yaoqin. I have long wanted to get close to her."

Mrs. Li smiled hurriedly and said: "We can't see each other today. Yao'er wanted to pray for her brother a few days ago, and today is a good day. I told the nunnery two days ago, fasted and bathed yesterday, and left early this morning. Already."

There was obvious disappointment on Shen Lijun's face, and she seemed a little absent-minded when she spoke.

This further confirmed Mrs. Li's guess. When Shen Lijun mentioned the wedding date, Mrs. Li said sternly: "This matter will naturally be left to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor. I don't dare to discuss it arbitrarily."

This is true. Shen Lijun obviously followed the rules of concubinage when asking about the wedding date. However, the concubine was formally canonized by the Ministry of Rites after asking the emperor for instructions. There is a huge difference between the two. Letting her daughter be a concubine is already aggrieved. Come on, Mrs. Li must not continue to be confused about this matter. If she becomes a concubine, her whole family will be embarrassed to stay in the capital.

Shen Lijun had other plans, so she didn't take it to heart and asked Mrs. Li to accompany her for a while before leaving.

When he returned to the palace and saw King Xian, he only said: "Mrs. Li seems not very happy. In addition, the wedding will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tian Jian."

The wise king nodded and said: "It's a reasonable thing, but I didn't think it through well. This matter should really be reported to the emperor and then handed over to the Ministry of Rites."

Shen Lijun smiled hurriedly: "I have thought of it a long time ago. I was just thinking about the recent discussions outside, and I was afraid that she would be depressed after hearing it, so I wanted to comfort her. However, it is not easy to be too hasty in reporting this matter to the marriage. , we have to make an agreement with Cheng Anbo first."

The wise king thought that what he said was reasonable, and for a moment he said with emotion: "Having you as a good wife in this life, God really loves me so much."

A few years later, because of those concubines and now Li Yaoqin's incident, Shen Lijun no longer felt much emotion when she heard these words, but she still nestled in the arms of the wise king with a look of happiness on her face.

These are all things for later, let’s just say that Li Yaoqin left the house early in the morning. After the rough girls in her courtyard finished their work, they all became idle. While the master was away, some went to talk to the little sisters, and some I took the opportunity to run to the front to see Princess Xian.

At this time, Su'er, the always steady girl of Li Yaoqin Academy, saw a girl named Xiaoqing sneaking towards the second door. She couldn't help but feel suspicious and followed behind, all the way to the corner door.

Seeing that the little girl often came to the corner door and didn't need to be treated, the old lady let her out with a smile.

Su'er walked over there and handed a silver coin to the woman, and asked: "Isn't that Xiaoqing? The sisters in the courtyard didn't ask her to do anything, so why did she go to the street?"

The mother-in-law took the silver coin and said with a smile: "She is just a greedy girl. She must have gone to buy snacks. She will buy candied haws in a few days."

Su'er heard that after going out, she saw that there were indeed many vendors selling snacks in the alley at the corner gate of Cheng'anbo Mansion. The one selling candied haws was very conspicuous, and Xiao Qing happened to be standing next to her.

After finally sending away the children who came to buy candied haws, Xiaoqing walked with the person to a remote place. When Su'er saw him, she quickly followed him and stood close to the wall.

Just listen to Xiao Qing say: "Today, your father's wish was really fulfilled. My young lady went to Tianshui Temple in the east of the city to perform a ritual."

The man said happily: "But is it true?"

Xiaoqing snorted coldly: "What did I lie to you for? I fulfilled your father's wish. What does it have to do with you? Look how happy you are."

The man smiled and said: "The person the northern barbarians wanted was snatched away by the wise prince. It can be seen that she must be a beautiful woman in the sky and on the earth. I don't dare to have any extravagant expectations. I just want to be able to see the beauty, and I will be satisfied." Already."

Xiaoqing sneered more and more: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. To be honest, your aunt is no worse than her when I dress up. It's just that she was lucky and was reborn into a wealthy family."

The man obviously didn't believe it, but he said frivolously: "Sister Xiaoqing is naturally beautiful. When your young lady marries my father, with Sister Xiaoqing's beauty, she will definitely be an aunt."

After hearing this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, then stretched out her hand and said: "Don't say nice things there, please bring the money quickly. It's not easy for me to sneak out."

The man put a bag of silver into Xiaoqing's hand, and Xiaoqing hurriedly put it in her arms. The man then strode away and went back to report the news.

Su'er knew that Xiaoqing was a lazy girl, but she didn't expect that she would be bribed to harm the young lady. She couldn't help but turn red with anger. When she saw Xiaoqing turning around, she stopped her and snatched the money bag. , said: "What a girl, but she only has three or five taels of silver, and she dares to sell her to the owner. Believe it or not, I will tell the manager today."
