Xia Luotong was right. If it weren't for this reason, the marriage between Si Hanyan and Xi Menghan would have been decided by the emperor.
With their status as the two of them, they can only be the principal wife, otherwise it would be no different from slapping the Xi family and the Si family in the back.
Even if they enter the palace as a concubine, they must be at least the fourth concubine, so that they can be worthy of their family status.
Not to mention that the prince and other princes have not yet ascended the throne. Even the emperor himself has no vacancies in the position of the fourth concubine. You can't just take advantage of the mistake and demote someone, right? I'm afraid the family behind the fourth concubine will also make a fuss.
It is precisely because of this situation that Xi Menghan and Si Hanyan have been staying in the capital safely and soundly. Although they are extremely annoyed, they have never had any serious problems.
"Under normal circumstances, we really don't have to worry too much about this problem, but we are afraid..."
Si Hanyan didn't finish her words, but Xia Luotong understood the meaning of her words.
I'm afraid that the emperor suddenly becomes abnormal...
Xia Luotong thought about the current emperor's brain circuit. She always felt that it was different from ordinary people, so she might have a brain twitch one day and actually grant a marriage randomly. After all, it would push the ministers in the opposite direction. He really does this kind of thing a lot.
"Sure enough, it is the safest thing to finalize the marriage. From now on, the emperor will not be able to ruin someone's marriage for no reason." Xia Luotong sighed softly, glanced at Si Hanyan, and then glanced at Mu Mu calmly. Jin Yu, as expected, frowned again when she saw the latter.
I'm afraid Mu Jinyu didn't even notice that at this time, a small frown had already formed between his eyebrows. You should know that he rarely frowned on weekdays.
"Why don't I know that setting a marriage is the safest way? But..."
Si Hanyan hesitated to speak, but suddenly thought that Mu Jinyu was still there. After all, she was a boudoir woman. She was embarrassed to say it out for men to hear, but she knew Xia Luotong would definitely understand.
Xia Luotong naturally understood what Si Hanyan meant, but he also sighed softly.
Yue Qinglu still doesn't know what's going on there, but now that there's Mu Jinyu, it's really a headache. The marriage between these two little sisters seems to be more troublesome than mine...
Although she seemed to have a good impression of Xi Menghan from the way she looked at Mu Jinyu, but even if she had a good impression or even liked him, it didn't mean that they could really be together.
If Mu Jinyu is very resistant, even if he finds out that he has a crush on Xi Menghan, he will probably give up.
Xia Luotong and Xi Menghan chatted for a while. Seeing that the Queen Mother was a little tired, they stood up to leave. Xia Luotong and Mu Jinyu left the palace with Wu Zechen.
The three of them were sitting on the carriage returning to Prince An's Mansion. Xia Luotong couldn't help but mention the sudden appearance of the Queen and the Prince.
"The sudden appearance of the mother and son must have some plot, but I don't know what the purpose is." Xia Luotong frowned and thought, "They probably don't know about my pregnancy, but for what purpose?"
Just when Xia Luotong was full of doubts, Wu Zechen suddenly came to the window, whispered a few words to Lian Ye outside, then turned around and sat down, and spoke with a serious face.
"I asked Lian Ye to check just now."
Xia Luotong was stunned. He didn't expect Wu Zechen to move so quickly. It seemed that Wu Zechen had already given the order while he was still in Cining Palace.
"Lian Ye just came back to report, but what did he find out?" she asked impatiently.
This is related to her body. Now that she is pregnant, she is naturally more nervous.
Wu Zechen half-hugged her in his arms, patted her back comfortingly, and said, "When the court just came down in the morning, the emperor summoned Xia Zhihe privately, and then met with the queen alone."
The emperor summoned Xia Zhihe alone?
Xia Luotong was stunned, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of something.
"Is it related to the drug they administered twice before? That's why the queen went to Cining Palace to block me, and even wanted to call the imperial doctor to take my pulse?" After thinking about it, Xia Luotong I think this is the most likely.
Not long after she arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen appeared right after her and tried to force a doctor to come and diagnose her pulse on the spot. Such behavior was really suspicious.
Wu Zechen's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but nodded: "It is indeed possible. Now that we are back in Beijing safely, if they want to cause trouble with the palace, they must find a breakthrough, so they probably chose to start from your side."
He couldn't help but worry and said: "You have to be careful next time. If it's really because of this, they may try their best to expose your 'infertility'. They might do something to you, and they might even do something to you again." Drugging, you can no longer put yourself in danger! Even if it is not because of this, there may be trouble for you in other ways, so you must be careful!"
He warned solemnly, looking at Xia Luotong seriously, with worry in his eyes that would not go away no matter what.
Xia Luotong raised a faint smile, raised her hand to caress his face, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, now that I have a child, I don't dare to mess around."
Although he had received Xia Luotong's guarantee, Wu Zechen could not be completely reassured. He had already made up his mind. After returning to the palace later, he would have to mobilize more people to protect Xia Luotong. He would definitely try his best to protect Xia Luotong. Protect Xia Luotong.
Mu Jinyu on the side looked at the two people in front of him who treated him like air. While he felt helpless, he also felt a rare feeling of envy.
He watched the two of them get to where they are now step by step. Although he had not witnessed what happened before, he had heard Wu Zechen mention it. He knew that it was not easy for the two of them, but looking at their loving appearance now , he actually feels a little lonely...
A figure quickly flashed through his mind, and Mu Jinyu couldn't help but be stunned, and then she couldn't help but smile helplessly.
What happened to me that I would think of her at this time? Do I really want to get married? Are you starting to have random thoughts?
Because of the Queen's incident, Xia Luotong was thinking about the Xia family who had just returned to Beijing and had no time to "take care of" her. But what she didn't expect was that before the Xia family could do anything, someone else couldn't help but come to visit first. .
After returning from the palace yesterday, Xia Luotong had a good night's rest. When he woke up today, he felt that he was in good spirits, so he planned to go to Fuguangju to visit Mr. Le and Yue Qinglu.
Xia Luotong didn't care much when Wu Zechen didn't return after going to court. After all, Wu Zechen was busy with his own affairs and couldn't be with him all the time.
After having a simple breakfast, she was packing up to go out when she saw Zhuxuan walking in with a frown on her face.
She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What's wrong? But what's the matter?"
Sure enough, Zhuxuan still looked unhappy and said, "Princess, the second lady of Fengguo Palace and the lord of Ruirong County, Lei Manhe, is coming to Shaoguang Pavilion, accompanied by Miss Wu Qingqing of the West Courtyard. We’re almost at the door.”
