Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 146

Just yesterday, Xia Haicheng sent a letter asking for the title of Crown Prince.The person invited to be granted the title is his second son, Xia Yuxuan.

But he only handed over the seal request letter yesterday, and today in the court hall, the emperor took out Xia Chixiao's successful report and circulated it to the courtiers.What is the emperor's intention?
Xia Haicheng came out of the queue tremblingly: "Thank you for your compliments, Your Majesty. As a military general, this is his duty."

He saw a few pairs of joking eyes among the courtiers. The emperor praised him for his skill in raising his son. How could he dare to acknowledge this credit?He just picked it up ready-made.

Lu Yuankui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, laughed and said: "Master Xiahou, someone else taught your son to become a young general, and his future is limitless. You taught someone else's son to become a dandy and even drove him out of the house. It's a bit of revenge for a kindness!"

Xia Haicheng was filled with hatred. The Minister of Civil Affairs was the elder brother of Concubine Xian, and he had different political views from him. Moreover, they were both relatives, so there was no harmony in the court.

At that time, he was also afraid that Xia Chixiao would make great achievements in suppressing the bandits, so he repeatedly warned that there would not be many troops, and in the end only three thousand were sent.

Xia Chixiao still has some abilities, otherwise, what can these soldiers do?
He counterattacked: "I don't know that Sir Lu is willing to raise other people's sons! I wonder what your young masters will think when they find out!"

Lu Yuankui chuckled and said: "It's not bad to raise someone else's son, but since something went wrong and I got such an excellent son, I probably can't do that kind of thing of turning my back and ruthlessly burning bridges."

Seeing some people hiding their faces to suppress laughter, Xia Haicheng's face turned dark and he retorted: "Since Mr. Lu can't bear it, he can take him home and raise him by himself. Why bother to show off his rhetoric here?"

"I just feel sorry for that child. If he hadn't been replaced by the wrong person, this bright and beautiful life should have been his. After all, his father is the one who really teaches his children well!"

The two of them were going back and forth, and the courtiers watched the excitement.

Emperor Qi Sheng did not stop him. The discord among the courtiers was not a big deal to him. If all the courtiers were united, that would be what he should worry about.

When they were almost done arguing, he coughed lightly, and under the authority of the emperor, the two sides ceased fighting.

Emperor Qi Sheng was very satisfied with this. He was worthy of being an important minister in the court, and he knew how to handle things.

He said: "Marquis Liyang is not satisfied with General Xia?"

Xia Haicheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I can take care of your worries and make a small contribution. I am proud of him!"

"The inheritance of aristocratic families always puts the eldest son first, so why is the heir apparent you invited to be named the second son?"

Xia Haicheng's heart skipped a beat, this happened after all.

He said: "Your Majesty, although my second son is not as well-off as my eldest son, he is also diligent, eager to learn, smart and humble. I made this decision after careful consideration."

"I feel closer to those who have been with me since childhood." Lu Yuankui laughed.

Xia Haicheng glanced at him, but Lu Yuankui didn't care at all.

Qi Sheng Emperor said: "Really?"

Xia Haicheng hurriedly said: "My second son has been studying writing since he was a child. This time he won the imperial examination in Qiu, so I just asked him to be named!"

"May I ask how old Mr. Xia is?" Lu Yuankui was quarreling with him.

Xia Haicheng glared angrily. Among the [-] people admitted to the provincial examination in the capital, Xia Yuxuan ranked [-]. One person was not too many, and the other was not too few.

Although it is not among the bottom ten, the ranking is really not very good.

He said coldly: "As long as you are on the list, does it matter how many are on the list?"

"Why is it not important? Just like when I failed to pass the Jie Yuan exam and only got No. 2, I have been grudges all these years! I hate myself for not working harder!" Xia Haicheng: "..."

Qisheng Emperor said: "It seems that Xiahou's second son will also be a pillar of the imperial court. Spring is just around the corner. According to General Xia's progress, by then, the bandit suppression should have been completed, and Xiahou has returned to the capital after a great victory. There is no need for Xiahou to be anxious!"

Will passing the provincial examination reward him with the title of heir apparent?

Emperor Qi Sheng thought of the list of Changli County and Township Examinations that had been sent almost simultaneously with the victory news, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

A second-grade general, the rural exam Jieyuan didn't look down on him, but he looked down on a two hundred and fifty?I need to tell Concubine Qing that her brother has poor vision!
What can Xia Haicheng say?Of course I can only say thank you.

He did not expect that his request to be granted the title of Crown Prince would be rejected by the emperor.

But thinking back to the good news he saw, he felt that it was normal for the emperor to make such a decision. It was also Xia Chixiao's good luck that the good news was delivered at this time. The emperor was satisfied with him, so couldn't he just reject his request?

That treacherous son has been suppressing bandits for more than three months. In addition to sending home a letter every month, the letters are just routine greetings and nothing superfluous. Compared with the son who is close to him, he has made Yuxuan the crown prince. Is it normal?
Returning to Liyanghou Mansion full of anger, Mrs. Qi immediately greeted her.

She quietly told Yuxuan the good news yesterday.

Yuxuan's words moved her and pleased her. She felt that her love for her son was not in vain. Thinking of her promise to her son, weren't she anxious to ask for the result now?

Xia Haicheng faced Qi's earnest eyes and knew what she wanted to ask, so he just shook his head silently.

Qi family was puzzled: "Master Marquis, our Xuan'er has been elected, and you personally asked us to be elected, why can't we succeed?"

Xia Haicheng sighed: "Just yesterday, Xia Chixiao received good news from the north. He had just wiped out a bandit of more than [-] people entrenched in Wan'an. He defeated many with less, and he won beautifully. Dragon Heart was very happy. This The time has come to ask for an establishment, but he is not the one who established it. Can the Emperor agree?"

Qi was stunned.

Is Xia Chixiao so good at fighting?

She was slightly dissatisfied: "Wouldn't Yu'er just have to succumb to him forever?"

"The emperor didn't say that. After all, he is still just a scholar. The emperor may want to wait until he becomes a Jinshi! During this period, you can let Yu'er study behind closed doors. Chunwei will be admitted, and then my father will ask for the title for him. once!"

Mrs. Qi said happily: "Yu'er will definitely go to high school!"

Xia Haicheng was not so optimistic. For a person who only ranked 250 in the provincial examination, it would not be easy to win the examination.

He slowly didn't know whether to persuade himself or the Qi family: "If you don't succeed, you can't do it. The emperor's high regard for Chi Xiao can only benefit us. His Highness the King of Qi is very happy and specially invited someone! I will go to the Prince Qi's Mansion!"

The obsession in his heart is not as strong as Qi's, and Xia Chixiao is also his son anyway.

The position of the heir apparent is the same for everyone. If King Qi can take a step further in the future, will he worry that Marquis Liyang cannot take it to the next level?
Mrs. Qi had no choice but to watch Xia Haicheng happily go to Prince Qi's Mansion for an appointment.

She had no choice but to turn around and go to Xia Yuxuan's residence, telling him to study hard and go to Chunwei High School.

Xia Yuxuan felt very uncomfortable when he learned that the letter requesting him to be crowned crown prince had been rejected by the emperor. However, given him a hundred courages, he did not dare to blame the emperor and only expressed his resentment. It was transferred to Xia Chixiao.

Why is this bastard coming back?

If he didn't come back and it was the dandy fake who was in Liyanghou Mansion, then not only would his request for the seal be successful, but he might even be the heir apparent by now.

　Dear children, Happy National Day~~~
