Bi Linglong replied: "Pei Yi, the second son of Pei Ming, the minister ordered, has two sons, Pei Zuo and Pei You. This time it is Pei You who is smart and smart since he was a child. He is also one of the best among the younger generation of the Pei family. .”
Zu Anxin thought that those who came were indeed not from the eldest son's lineage. It seemed that the people in the prince's party were also on guard.
I originally thought it would be Da Manman, but it seems I thought too much.
"What's wrong with you? You look disappointed?" Bi Linglong asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Zu An would naturally not be stupid enough to mention another woman in front of one woman, "By the way, the Pei family has a good relationship with you?"
Why did he remember that Pei Mianman had mentioned before that his family belonged to King Qi's faction?
Bi Linglong shook her head: "This is a long story. To put it simply, the Pei family is mainly divided into two lines. One line is Linhai Gong. As a servant, Pei Zheng has many children. Together with the Liang Wang, Liu family, The Jiang family and other various forces are related by marriage, and on the surface it seems that both sides are betting, but I know very well that he is more supportive of King Qi."
Zu An nodded secretly, it seemed that Da Manman was from this lineage.
Bi Linglong continued: "As for Pei You who came this time, he is from the lineage of Julu Gong and Shangshu Ling Pei Ming. Because they are both at the Shangshutai, he and my father have never been on good terms..."
Zu An was surprised: "Since there is such a grudge, why should his grandson participate in the crown prince examination?"
Bi Linglong explained: "Maybe you don't understand some of the hidden rules of these famous families. A big family may not be monolithic, and there are many different opinions within it. Although Pei Ming has a bad relationship with my father, his second son Pei Yi, My eldest brother and I are close friends, and Pei Ming’s wife and my mother are also sisters. With these two relationships, we naturally will not refuse Pei You’s participation.”
Zu An had to lament that these aristocratic families were marrying each other, and even families that were hostile to each other could often become relatives. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Pei You's grandma and your mother are sisters, so wouldn't he want to Call you aunt?"
Bi Linglong's face turned slightly red: "It's just about seniority. In terms of age, he and I are about the same age."
Zu An was about to make a joke when he suddenly realized a problem. Pei Zheng and Pei Ming were brothers, and Da Manman was Pei Zheng's granddaughter. So, wouldn't Da Manman also be called Aunt Bi Linglong? Then she is also my aunt...
Realizing this, the smile on Zu An's face suddenly froze.
Bah, bah, bah, when the time comes, everyone will have their own thing to do, and I won’t care about what they are doing.
At this time, Bi Linglong said: "In view of the stance of another lineage of the Pei family, I have some suspicions that Pei Yi approached my eldest brother to deliberately break into us, so we have to guard against their people. This time we have to focus on this Pei You, let’s see if he can do any tricks.”
"Okay." Zu An nodded. This woman was indeed calm and not blinded by family affection at all. She was a natural politician.
Bi Linglong continued: "In addition, the Liu family sent Liu Xian. He is the second son of General Wei Liu Yao. This guy is a dandy. With the resources of the Liu family, he is only in his thirties and can only reach the fifth rank. It is really embarrassing. .”
Zu An was stunned: "This prince's exam is of great importance, why would you let such a idiot come in?"
To be fair, the fifth-grade cultivation level is not low anymore. In some small places, the fifth-grade cultivation level can be said to be as high as the ceiling.
But this was in the capital city, where all kinds of geniuses emerged, so his comparison was somewhat eclipsed.
The most important thing is that he is already in his thirties. The fifth-grade students of Mingyue College are all geniuses, but they are only in their teens. For fifth-grade students in their thirties, with countless resources accumulated, it is not too much to say that they are idiots.
Bi Linglong smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. Just because this big exam is important, each family will also send some of their children to come here for gold plating. After all, in the eyes of many people, this big test will be a near miss in the end. If you can take the opportunity to meet the prince, Helping him complete his mission by 'sharing adversity' will be the merit of Conglong in the future. Each major family has their own plans, and as an ally, I must also take care of the interests of each family, and it is impossible to refuse his joining."
"But the Liu family knows the importance. In addition to sending Liu Xian, the second generation ancestor, they also sent their nephew Gao Ying. He is much more capable. He is about the same age as Liu Xian, but he is already at the peak of the sixth rank, and His prudent behavior is reassuring.”
Zu An smiled: "It seems that the Liu family is not all idiots."
Speaking of which, the old man Liu Yao is a bit mediocre, and it is normal to raise such a idiot son. Speaking of which, the Queen of the Liu family that I have ever seen is the most powerful, whether under the bed or in bed...
Bi Linglong rolled her eyes: "You can just say this in front of me. If the Queen or the Head of State hear it, you will suffer."
Zu An smiled and said, "I think you are the one who told you this."
Bi Linglong's face turned red. Was this guy taking the opportunity to tease her?
She instinctively wanted to reprimand the other person, but she was worried that this would hurt his heart. She would have to rely on him in the upcoming crown prince examination.
And she thought that such words were not too rude, so she had to let him go and changed the subject: "By the way, the Meng family sent the second son Meng Pan. This man is more powerful than Liu Xian. He has been six years old." Taste it.”
Having been in the capital for so long, Zu An naturally knew about the Meng family. The old man of the Meng family was one of the eight princes of the empire, Sikong Mengjing. But he is already old. The current head of the Meng family is his son Meng Yi. Meng Yi is the eunuch of the Zhongshu and has several sons. The other youngest daughter is the concubine of the king.
"In addition, the Liang Prince's Mansion is led by Zhao Xi, the youngest son of the Liang Prince. Zhao Xi is also a talented person."
"The Bi family is led by my eldest brother's confidants Gu Heng and Gu Xing. These two people are from the Gu family, an affiliated family of the Bi family. They grew up with us brothers and sisters, and they know everything about it. The two brothers work hard and are qualified. Not bad, now they have both broken through to the sixth level."
Zu An looked strange: "Hey, childhood sweetheart."
Bi Linglong hurriedly explained: "Don't think too much, I just treat them as half brothers and family members."
After she finished speaking, she was stunned. Why should I explain to him?
She was worried about being noticed by the other party, so she hurriedly said: "As for you, I have added you to the list through my father's relationship. Although your cultivation level exceeds the seventh level, it is not much higher, so the problem should not be Big, recharge your batteries today, we will go to the secret realm together tomorrow."
Zu An laughed dumbly, thinking that this girl was still using the family's power. She didn't know that the emperor had already arranged everything, but he didn't say anything, he just solemnly agreed.
The next morning, Bi Linglong got up early to dress up. Thinking that today's matter was of great importance, she couldn't sleep all night. Fortunately, as a practitioner, the impact of one night was not big.
When Rong Mo, the maid behind her, was combing her hair, she couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, since you didn't sleep well at night, you should sleep a little longer. Why did you get up so early and put on makeup so carefully that you didn't even see it when you got married?" You are so caring."
"What do you know, you stinky girl?" Bi Linglong's face was slightly red. She looked at the exquisite makeup in the mirror, which was a bit more beautiful than usual. She couldn't help but be stunned. Why did she do this? Is it because she wanted to see that person? people? Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly explained, "This time is related to the future of the prince. Naturally, I have to show up in the best possible manner. Not only will I declare war on King Qi's party, but I will also strengthen the morale of our own army."
Rong Mo pursed his lips and smiled and said: "My queen is so beautiful, those stinky men will definitely compete to show off in front of you."
Bi Linglong spat: "How can you talk such nonsense?"
"Anyway, the prince is not here," Rong Mo disagreed. "Speaking of which, the queen's mental state has been much better during this period than before."
"Really?" Bi Linglong was startled, but she didn't pay attention to it.
"That's right," Rong Mo chirped, "Mother, when you got up every day, there was always a hint of sadness between your eyebrows, but now every day you can even have an uncontrollable smile on your eyebrows."
"Nonsense, how could I have changed so much?" Bi Linglong's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly reprimanded. Then she looked at the pretty woman in the mirror and stretched out her hand to gently caress her face. Could it be because of...him?
