Faced with Huang Qiong's hypocrisy, he also smiled lightly and said: "My dear son-in-law, where are these words? Since you and Rui'er have already made a marriage agreement, you are naturally my son-in-law. Now the wedding is imminent, foreign minister This father-in-law, as both an elder and a minister, how can he choose the gift of his own son-in-law? What's more, the father-in-law of the foreign minister knows a little about the conduct of a good son-in-law."
The conversation between the two men, the father-in-law and the son-in-law, can be summed up in two words: hypocrisy. Sitting on the right side of Guilin County Prince, Situ Huanshuang, who was dressed in palace attire, was looking at his nose and heart, as if the hypocritical conversation between the two people around him had nothing to do with him. Even when he felt Huang Qiong's gaze, he didn't even raise his head to take a look.
Looking at Situ Huanshuang who was pretending to be cold, Huang Qiong's eyes did not linger any longer. Instead, he turned his head and looked at King Yong and King Shen, as well as his fiancée who came with them. This shows that the old man values the He family far more than the family of Prince Shen's fiancée. Not only did the He family's future seventh sister-in-law come, but the old lady and her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law were also present.
As for Prince Shen's fiancée's family, only the mother and daughter came. Huang Qiong politely said hello to everyone who came to attend this full moon party. But when he looked at Mrs. He. Thinking of the passionate love that day, I couldn't help but feel distracted again. And Mrs. He didn't dare to look at Huang Qiong's fiery gaze when she said hello.
After Huang Qiong said hello one by one, the emperor sitting on top said with a smile: "Ajiu, are you satisfied with the guests I have invited today? I know that among all the brothers, you are the most Prince Yong and Prince Shen have always been on good terms, so we invited them together with the betrothed concubine. As for your father-in-law’s family, since they are all one family, there is nothing to be taboo about.”
Listening to the old man's questions, although he was very dissatisfied with the old man's decision, what did Huang Qiong dare to say? Please invite Princes Yong and Shen, together with their fiancée and family, the old man’s thoughts are simpler. I just want to have a closer relationship with my brothers in the future. But by inviting the Guilin County Prince and his son over, this old man has some ulterior motives.
This is using the eldest son born to He Yao to put pressure on the King of Guilin. Since the founding of this dynasty, Emperor Taizong has stipulated that unless there are no children in the palace, he will not establish the eldest son when passing the throne, and the eldest son will not establish the younger son. Moreover, looking at the origins of emperors since the founding of the country, the proportion of emperors who are not the direct descendants of queens is actually higher. In fact, in this dynasty, the weight of the eldest son of the emperor is not much less than that of the legitimate son.
He Yao has now given birth to her eldest son. The full moon wine seems low-key today, but in fact it is not low-key at all. In all the past dynasties, the prince's concubine's son's full moon wine was held in the palace? Not to mention those who were born by concubines, there were almost none who were born by direct descendants. The old man is demonstrating something, or simply threatening the King of Guilin to give in in some aspects.
I almost understood this eldest grandson, and my grandfather loved him very much. The position of prince in the future may not be the son of your daughter. Little does he know that the princess next to the Guilin Princess is actually a fake princess, and Huang Qiong loves her as much as the emperor He Yao and other daughters. Trying to bargain with the Prince of Guilin with a threat that does not pose a real threat.
But Huang Qiong, who knew these things well, was very clear. The old man's hard work today is basically in vain. The King of Guilin used Situ Huanshuang to replace a person who did not really exist. Marrying him must be covering up something or delaying something. Although it can be regarded as achieving his wish, the things hidden in it are definitely not simple.
Moreover, the old man wants to use this method to suppress the Guilin County Prince and make concessions for a false family relationship. This is simply impossible. Not to mention that Situ Huanshuang was not the real princess. As a nominal father-in-law, he would marry his daughter to his brother-in-law for profit. How could he make any concessions for an adopted daughter or even an enemy?
Although he guessed the old man's thoughts, the day of his children's full moon wine turned into a disguised competition, and Huang Qiong was actually very unwilling to do so. But there was nothing Huang Qiong could do about the things that the old man had done. He is both the father and the king, so how can he do something that does not require a single word from him? As a son, what can he do to win over him?
The old man had hit a soft spot, and he could be considered a mature man. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the younger generation, so he didn't continue. Let Huang Qiong take the women to Tingxuexuan to look after the children. After hearing the old man's instructions, Huang Qiong, who really didn't want to look at the old man and the Guilin County Prince, who was back and forth with each other here, didn't hesitate to lead the people away.
As for King Yong and King Shen, although they also want to see what the triplets look like. But I also know that now, except for the emperor and Huang Qiong, Ting Xuexuan and a few eunuchs who can only be regarded as half men at most. All the men, even the princes were not allowed to enter, could only watch helplessly as Huang Qiong left with a group of female relatives.
Especially King Yong, who has not been seen since Jing Niang entered the palace, he feels even more itchy when he thinks that the beauty he has longed for is listening to Xuexuan. If he hadn't really dared to mess with Huang Qiong's mother, he would have almost followed her with a shy face. Now, he can only hope that during the meal, Jingniang can walk out of Tingxue Xuan and let himself take a look.
Naturally, his fiancée didn’t know what King Yong was thinking. Huang Qiong knew it, but he ignored King Yong who was looking at him eagerly. On the way to Tingxuexuan, the girls were in different situations. Huang Qiong's seventh sister-in-law and her eldest sister-in-law were supporting their grandmother. Situ Huanshuang didn't know what he was thinking all the way. He just followed the two eunuchs in front without even raising his eyelids.
As for Prince Shen's fiancée, it was her first time entering the palace, so she was not as restrained as usual. Along the way, he almost kept his head down, not daring to look at the road, and just followed everyone forward silently. Mrs. He, who was obviously a little heavy-minded, consciously fell behind in order to avoid Huang Qiong's fiery eyes from time to time.
And Huang Qiong knew that his fake father-in-law must have spies in the palace. In order to protect Situ Huanshuang, he did not want others to know about the close relationship between the two for the time being, so he also consciously walked behind. As I walked, I didn’t know when I became side by side with Mrs. He. Smelling the vague body fragrance emanating from Mrs. He's body, Huang Qiong couldn't help but become more angry.
But now that his heart was burning, he could only endure it. Mrs. He next to him saw Huang Qiong walking to her side. Thinking of that day, she couldn't help but panic, and she almost sprained her ankle. Fortunately, Huang Qiong, who was intentionally walking beside her, helped her up in time. And along the way, Huang Qiong never let go of his hand.
However, in the eyes of others, they all thought that the King of England was afraid that Mrs. He would fall again, so he supported his elder politely. After all, Mrs. He is the mother-in-law of King Yong, and is also equivalent to the elder Huang Qiong. Plus being so much older than Huang Qiong, no one would think of other messy things at all. No one would have thought that the King of England would do such a dirty thing one day.
But in reality, only Mrs. He knows the joy and pain. When Huang Qiong was supporting her, he used the wide sleeves of his princely robe as a cover. His mischievous hand never left her somewhere like a silver basin. Later, the hand that kept acting weird even reached inside. The thin clothes in summer could not block the burning sensation brought by that hand.
This made Mrs. He want to shout but was afraid to shout, but she couldn't get rid of that hand and felt extremely sad. Fortunately, the straight-line distance between Wende Hall and Tingxuexuan is not far, and there is an end after all. As Ting Xuexuan was right in front of her, the hand finally let go, and Mrs. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this road were longer, Mrs. He would be so blushing that she would be unable to see anyone.
Even so, the little daughter who was helping her grandmother looked back and saw her mother's face was slightly red, and couldn't help asking her mother strangely what was wrong. She was dismissed by casually saying that the weather was a little hot and that she was a little overdressed today. But neither the one who asked nor the one who answered saw what was contained in the slightly narrowed eyes of Huang Qiong standing aside.
Huang Qiong, who had calmed down after joining Tingxue Xuan, would naturally not act as shamelessly as before. The moment they saw Huang Qiong's mother, everyone went to see the child in a polite manner after bowing. In front of He Yao and Duan Jin, especially in front of Huang Qiong's mother's insightful gaze, Huang Qiong, who had always been very honest, naturally did not dare to act weird anymore.
However, something that surprised Huang Qiong was the old lady of the He family who once made her feel very nervous and extremely energetic. After seeing Huang Qiong's mother, she couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't until his granddaughter called out a few times that he calmed down, looked at the ladies in the room, and whispered to Huang Qiong's mother: "Concubine Jing, may I take the liberty of finding a place to chat with you alone?"
Seeing that this old lady who was once extremely powerful in front of her all-powerful grandfather, actually saw her mother not only asking to speak alone, but even showing a hint of humility in her expression, Huang Qiong couldn't help but sigh. Stunned. Regarding the past events of this old lady He, Huang Qiong was somewhat interested in this old lady after his trip to the He Mansion, so he tried his best to investigate.
During the period when her grandfather was in power, except for the fact that the He family was left in the officialdom, the old lady had always restrained her family to stay behind closed doors. Even the He family shovel who stayed in the officialdom was forced to move out of the house. Even after refusing to be granted the title of county king, Dundu moved back to his hometown with the rest of his family. The mother entered the palace the next year after Mrs. He moved back to her hometown.
, the two of them should not know each other. How could this old lady, who was once so dignified in my eyes, be so humble to her mother? Just when Huang Qiong was confused, her mother, after pondering for a moment, nodded even more unexpectedly. Although he didn't say anything, he got up and took Mrs. He to Ting Xuexuan's backyard.
Huang Qiong originally wanted to follow her, but was stopped by the look in her mother's eyes when she left. Huang Qiong, helpless, could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and turned to look at his wife and children. After entering Ting Xuexuan, Situ Huanshuang raised his head and looked at Huang Qiong. He changed his previous indifference and had a faint smile on his face.
Then he took the hands of He Yao and Duan Jin and gently pulled them together. Looking at the expression on Situ Huanshuang's face at this time, Huang Qiong understood what she meant even though Situ Huanshuang didn't say it clearly. She was telling herself that she would have a good relationship with the sisters in the house, especially He Yao and Duan Jin, so that he would not have to worry about her.
