Chapter 160: Crown Princess, do you still want to marry?
According to Yinreng's own wishes, he had prepared to go to the house of his prospective father-in-law very early to express his condolences.
It was Hesheli Soetu who appeared and stopped him.
"Prince, this is a good opportunity. When Guarjia was first appointed as the Crown Princess, not to mention neglecting me, I didn't even have much respect for you."
"Now that Shi Huashan is seriously ill and Shi Wenbing has passed away, the Guarjia family's biggest support in the future will naturally be the prince."
"Why does the prince have to rush over to visit you?"
At the beginning, Kangxi had just decided on the candidate for the crown prince. After Yinreng knew about it, he also planned to start having more contacts with the Guarjia family.
But as the prince, he naturally had to wait for the Guarjia family to take the initiative to visit. But he waited and waited, but no one from Gualjia came to the door.
Instead, he waited until Suo'etu came over and told him that the current Guarjia family did not have much respect for the Hesheli family.
The prince was naturally unhappy with the Guarjia family at the moment.
What he didn't know was that Guarjia wanted to come, so he took So'etu's route first, but was "persuaded" by So'etu to go back.
Suo'etu has always regarded the prince as a "treasure in his pocket". Since the prince was still an adult, he has repeatedly recommended to the emperor the women of his favored family.
Of course, these women are naturally very good friends with Hesheli.
Kangxi never agreed, but still chose patiently.
Of course, Suo'etu would not be satisfied with the emperor's final choice. How could he let the prince and Guarjia be close from the beginning.
After the prince had a powerful maternal clan, others came to compete with him for the prince's trust. This was something Suo'etu could not allow.
In this way, the prince was late until today, when Shi Wenbing was attending the funeral.
The eldest brother Yinyin followed Nalan Mingzhu's advice.
The prince was late, and the emperor would certainly not be happy if he found out.
If the eldest brother ran over first, let the prince know, and showed up earlier, he would have helped the prince.
The eldest brother also held back, but kept sending people to keep an eye on the prince.
Sure enough, as soon as the prince started to move, he immediately followed him.
The plastic brothers bumped into each other in front of Gualjia's house and entered the mourning hall one behind the other.
At first glance, it turned out that they were not the first batch of princes to come.
Why is Fourth Brother here too?
The prince frowned.
Shi Wenzhuo was talking to Brother Si. He had been weak these days and was a step too slow in coming to salute.
Lu Pheasant looked at Shi's movements and hesitated for some reason, thinking deeply.
"Everyone, get up." The prince waved his hands, with a sad look on his face, and began to act out with Shi Wenzhuo's family.
The eldest brother is not to be outdone.
After the drama of offering incense was over, the eldest brother walked towards the fourth brother first: "The fourth brother came at a slower pace."
Fourth elder brother: "Brother, my younger brother is here with Fujin. Her eldest brother just got married to the Gualjia family. It would be inappropriate not to come."
The prince on the side listened and said: "I remember, there is such a thing. The fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister are really close as husband and wife, and they go together like a shadow. It is worth the help that the fourth brother and sister gave you after entering the door."
Even the eldest elder brother could tell that the prince was insinuating that the fourth elder brother was eating soft food.
The eldest brother also added fuel to the rumors in the capital.
The eldest brother said to the prince: "The prince does not need to envy the fourth brother. The eldest brother believes that Shi Shi will be as helpful to the prince as the fourth brother and sister."
Suo'etu, who was still quarreling with Nalan Mingzhu, glanced at the prince distractedly.
The prince couldn't tell that the eldest brother was making excuses to ridicule. The future of the Shi family's status was uncertain.
If you really get married, I don’t know if it will help or not.
The eldest brother himself didn't even think about it. When Khan Amma pointed him out to the Ilgunjuro surname, even though she was the daughter of the first-rank Shangshu Keerkun, she was not one of the eight most famous surnames in Manchuria.
If it hadn't been for the emergence of a great scholar, Isang A, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to select this Dafu Jin.
No matter how good the Guarjia clan is, they can still beat the current Irgenjueluo clan.
Unexpectedly, Sifu Jin Ulanala, who has the same origin as Huifei, has some abilities.
After that, we still have to be on guard to see if the fourth elder brother and the Uranala clan are colluding with Concubine Hui and the eldest elder brother.
Prince: "Brother is here today when he is free. It seems that the youngest son of the Nalan family has done a good job in raising rice seeds. Is the eldest brother very confident that he will win the orphan in the next result?"
The eldest brother ignored Nalan Mingzhu's signal behind him, turned around and spread his wings like a fighting cock.
…
Brother Si, who suddenly left the center of the topic, looked at Fujin.
Lu Pheasant immediately understood and went to find his natal family.
Everyone who came to the Guarjia Mansion to express their condolences watched the prince and the eldest brother come over to offer incense, and then began to bicker about the competition between them.
He didn't take into account the current mood of Guarjia's family.
He couldn't help but whisper: "I heard before that the prince doesn't seem to want to marry a girl from the Gualjia family. It seems to be a bit like that."
"Now, even Long Live Lord doesn't think much of the Gualjia family. Can their marriage still happen?"
"I looked, and not even a single grand master came. The two who came today were just former grand masters."
"Not necessarily. Didn't the fourth elder brother come over? The fourth elder brother now is different from the one before."
"After all, she is still the princess whom the prince wants to marry. How much does it have to do with Fourth Prince?"
"Yes, such a slight... if it were my daughter being treated with such contempt, tsk tsk."
…
Shi was originally waiting not far from the Crown Prince.
She thought that his biological father was gone.
The eldest brother Guanyin Bao served in the army, so the position of head of the family naturally fell to Shi Wenzhuo, the current magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture in Jiangnan.
Now that the prince is here, will he talk to her? She also took her eldest brother to wait with her.
However, the prince seemed not to have seen them from beginning to end.
The comments from the people around him were like a surging tide, almost engulfing Shi.
"Sister..." A mournful call came from behind.
It was Guarjia, a cousin who married into the Uranala family, and was followed by her new husband Fuchan.
There were also Si Fujin standing on one side.
Not far away, other brothers from the Ulanala family accompanied Wuge and were talking to Shengbao.
Shi turned around, and the tears that had been stranded in her eyes couldn't help but fall again.
"Sister Shi, my condolences." Lu Zhi said softly at this time.
Shi looked at her and whispered: "Thank you for coming with Brother Si so early to express condolences to my father."
The fourth prince was the first prince to come over, and Shi guessed that the Ulanara clan must have contributed to this.
Lu Pheasant: "Since my sister-in-law has married into our family, I naturally want to come. Sister Shi is so polite."
Her elder sister-in-law, Guarjia, cried a lot. She was a newlywed girl and was a bit taboo. Fu Chan brought her over and said, "Can you trouble my cousin and take her to wipe her face?"
Shi nodded and took his cousin and Si Fujin to the side hall.
She said warmly: "My cousin is relieved to see that my cousin's husband treats you well."
Guarjia had a shy smile on her face that was somewhere between a young girl and a new wife. Thinking of the situation in the hall just now, she hesitated for a while, but still couldn't help but said worriedly: "Cousin, the prince will marry you now." ?"
Shi's lips tightened for a moment.
She herself was quite sure, but suddenly she didn't know.
Guarjia knew that she had said the wrong thing and was very nervous: "I'm sorry, sorry, cousin, I shouldn't have said it at this time..."
Only then did Lu Pheasant say: "I think my sister-in-law wants to ask, Sister Shi, do you still want to get married?"
