Chitose words

Chapter 43 Watch Dogs

Han Changsheng was stunned and said: "No wonder, no wonder Mr. Li dare not marry. Maybe even though the Li family doesn't want to marry a girl from the Yu family who has fallen into disgrace, privately they still use the fact that they have a marriage contract. An excuse to deal with the eldest princess who is acting ridiculously."

Xie Zhao let out a "huh" and nodded slightly.

He is not completely stupid.

Xie Zhao said indifferently: "I have heard that Princess Pingyang did say that she wanted to recruit Li Suining as her son-in-law. Of course, Li Suining himself is naturally unwilling, and the Li family is also naturally unwilling.

After all, Li Suining's father, Li Suhe, was the Admiral of the Nine Sects and the military commander in charge of the safety of Zhaoge City. No matter how ridiculous the eldest princess Pingyang was, she did not dare to reach out to the front court, so she never dared to force the Li family to go too far.

However, looking at the entire Zhaoge City, almost all officials know that Princess Pingyang is a scoundrel who has been guarding Li Suining's "sweet potato" like a "vicious dog staring at flesh". If you can't afford it, you can always hide it. ?
Presumably, it was precisely because of this that Li Suining's marriage was delayed.I personally think, An An, it's better for you not to take this muddy water. "

Han Changsheng nodded, "Of course she doesn't dare to push the Nine-door Admiral's Mansion too far. After all, this eldest princess is not the emperor's same mother and sister, but a first-class concubine. If she is too arrogant and offends the emperor, why not Have a good time?"

He thought about it, and said inexplicably, "But it's still so strange!"

Ling You looked at him: "What's so strange?"

Han Changsheng frowned and said in confusion: "What else can be strange? Naturally, the little emperor and the Bai family are strange! - It is known to the whole world that Xie Lin, the governor of Shangzhu Kingdom, and Bai Mengxian, the governor, are not on good terms. , and Queen Xie and Concubine Bai were also at odds.

That being the case, why did the little emperor marry the first daughter of the Bai family and become the queen?This Empress Xiaobai is the direct niece of his mother's rival in love, Concubine Bai Taigui? "

Ling You thought for a moment in silence, and then shook his head: "The affairs of the Tian Family are complicated and not known to those of us who travel around the world."

Yu An'an was also a little puzzled.

Although she was born away from the turmoil of Zhaoge, the education she received in literature and ink was all from her mother Ning's since she was a child. She seems cowardly and gentle, but in fact she is extremely intelligent.

She said thoughtfully: "Yes. Although the Xie family is not prosperous now, and most of the famous Xie family members have died for the country, after all, there are still people in the Xie family.

Not to mention anything else, Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, is the spiritual leader of the officials and literati in the court today. Although I heard that the county king is indifferent and quiet, he is also very powerful among the civil officials.

In the past, my grandfather was called "Ning Banchao" because the other half of the officials in the court came from the Xie family in Xunyang.

——Since Your Majesty has such a powerful maternal family, why would you marry a daughter of the Bai family? Wouldn't this embarrass the descendants of the Xie family? "

Ling You frowned and said nothing.

Xie Zhao, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly smiled with an unknown expression. Her tone was cool, with a sourness that she was not even aware of.

"Even though Xie's family used to be beautiful, after all, they have been asking about court affairs for a long time now, and the king of Xunyang County himself has the temperament of a wandering wild crane.

He is the elder of the emperor, and also the uncle of the emperor's direct relatives. With such a relationship, this person will naturally have scruples when using it. With scruples, naturally it will not be so smooth. "

The three of them were stunned, as if they were pondering the meaning of her words.

However, Xie Zhao had already gently waved his hand to interrupt them and brought the conversation back to the main topic.

"So, An An, have you thought about it? What do you think about the Li family?"

Yu An'an was startled for a moment, then lowered her head silently.

She thought quietly for a moment, then raised her head and said seriously: "Azhao, I have already thought about it. The most valuable thing in a person is self-knowledge. Although I don't want to belittle myself, Zhaoge City is a place where one has to look at one's origins and look at everything. A place of power.

His father died many years ago, and although his grandfather still has some protection, the Yu family is no longer considered a powerful official in Zhaoge.I am just a common citizen, and I don’t want to cause trouble in Zhaoge City.

In this case, then I might as well return the half piece of jade to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion tomorrow morning. From now on, whether she is the eldest princess or the eldest son of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, I, Yu An'an, will no longer have anything to do with her. "

A smile of relief flashed in Xie Zhao's eyes. She looked at her quietly to make sure that she had really made up her mind, so she nodded lightly and said:
"Alright, the Yu family has a simple population. In fact, your temperament is not suitable for marrying into a family with complicated interpersonal relationships like the Admiral's Mansion. If you make a decision early, you can get out early. We will go with you tomorrow."

Ling Hu also nodded, his words were few and his tone was not heavy, but he had a sense of security that was loud and clear.

He said: "You don't have to be afraid, we are here."

Han Changsheng nodded again and again, he stood up and patted Ling Or's shoulder vigorously without hesitation, and said in a confident voice:
"—Yes! We are not afraid of their nine-door admiral's mansion, isn't it just a 24-year-old Mahayana realm? What's the big deal! Did you see it? Your brother Ling is now a 19-year-old dignified saint king realm. The eldest son is quite a block away! If they want to embarrass you, or force you to stay, then we will kill them bastards!"

A touch of emotion flashed in Yu An'an's eyes, and their words undoubtedly dispelled the anxiety in her heart at this time.

She nodded heavily, smiling and arching her eyebrows.

".Um!"

Early the next morning, they rarely got up early. After cleaning up briefly, they had breakfast at the inn and then went straight to the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

——That's true, without a moment's delay.

Just as Xie Zhao said before in Ruyang City, it seems that she has really been to Zhaoge before and is very familiar with the streets in all directions.She led them through many twists and turns and took many shortcuts, and soon arrived at the entrance of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

Han Changsheng stepped forward to negotiate first. He took a few steps up the steps and said to the guards in front of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion:
"Brother, please pass the message to us. We have important matters and would like to see Mr. Li."

The guards at the entrance of the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion are used to seeing high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, and they always look higher than their heads and have a vicious look.

He could tell at a glance that the young girls standing in front of the door were dressed in shabby clothes, and they were not from noble families - there was even a young girl with a black and blue birthmark, which was very ugly.

He frowned subconsciously and said coldly:
"Greetings."

Han Changsheng was taken aback.

"Blessings? What greetings?"

He looked back at Yu Anan, and when he saw Yu Anan shook his head slightly, he turned his head again and said with a silly smile:
"Brother, we don't have a greeting card, what's wrong? Can't we see Mr. Li without a greeting card?"
