And looking at the three women clinging to him, hesitant to speak. Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, and then told him what he had encountered today, especially the fact that the old man made a big show of himself and announced directly in the court that government affairs would be handed over to him. After hearing Huang Qiong's words, except for He Yao who didn't quite understand the meaning, Duan Jin and Lin Hanyan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as long as the emperors of the past dynasties are not kings of subjugation, they will basically not let go of their power until the day they die. Of course, among them, those in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in order to facilitate their own enjoyment and indulgence, took the initiative to give up the throne regardless of the age of their sons, and became the Supreme Emperor themselves, but in fact, the real power was still in their hands, so they cannot be counted among them.
In the end, these few people actually became the kings of subjugated countries. They were simply an alternative among emperors. Even the four supreme emperors of the former Tang Dynasty were basically forced to abdicate. Tang Gaozu and Tang Xuanzong were forced by their sons to abdicate and become emperors. Tang Ruizong was actually forced by his own son. Tang Shunzong was forced to give up his throne by the eunuchs because of a stroke.
The remaining emperors, one after another, even if they are all extremely ill, still have a firm grip on power. For the prince, that is even more unusual. Why did the old man take the initiative to give up his power so early when he arrived? It's okay, just don't bother Xuexuan. Is this what an emperor should say? I'm afraid even the father of an ordinary family wouldn't say it.
Looking at the three women who were also stunned, Huang Qiong did not get too entangled in this matter. In any case, the power of God is unpredictable, and Huang Qiong didn't want the three women to get too involved in this matter. So he directly brought the topic to Situ Huanshuang. Facing Huang Qiong's inquiry, Duan Jin and He Yao were equally confused. Although Huang Qiong was away from the capital, Situ Huanshuang didn't take care of things very much.
Small matters are usually decided directly by He Yao, while big matters are discussed between the three of them, but it's normal. The only special thing was that no matter who wanted to see Huang Qiong during her absence, Situ Huanshuang refused to see her. No matter whether they were the concubines in the palace or the wives of the officials in the court, they were all missing. Even the prince of the Guilin County Prince's Palace asked to see him several times but did not agree to meet him.
Among the three girls, Duan Jin is somewhat rough-tempered when it comes to this kind of thing. I think Situ Huanshuang is unhappy because Huang Qiong is too busy. This time I went out without talking for more than half a year, and when I came back I brought nearly twenty of them with me. Who would feel comfortable with this? Especially since Situ Huanshuang is still the royal concubine, it's not like the sisters can endure it and feel happy in their hearts.
At this point, he didn't know whether it was for Situ Huanshuang or for himself who was also a little jealous, so he pinched Huang Qiong a few times. It was just Duan Jin's words that made He Yao shake her head: "No, although Shuang'er is young, she is not the kind of person who doesn't know the depth. Besides, her feelings for me are unknown. She just feels a little uncomfortable in her heart. I won’t spoil my pleasure on the bed.”
"Besides, Shuang'er seems cold and cold, but she is actually not the kind of jealous person, and she is very simple-minded. Yesterday, when I just came back from seeing you, she still looked that cold and cold. But I can see that she I was also very happy in my heart. When I went to take a bath, I not only comforted the people I brought back, but also went to the leaders Cai and Dong and talked for a long time. "
"After dinner, I came to our place to look after the children, and asked the two people to talk to each other. I feel that Shuang'er's change should be met by two people again, or specifically after meeting Mr. Cai. Because today, I saw Shuang'er found Mrs. Cai in her palace again, and waited until I was about to come back before sending Mrs. Cai out. And when that Mrs. Cai came out, I could see that she had obviously cried.
Having said this, He Yao thought about it carefully and suddenly said: "Master, haven't you noticed that the eyebrows and eyes of Mr. Cai and Shuang'er are somewhat similar? It can even be said that looking at Mr. Cai, you can almost imagine Chu Shuang'er looks like she is that age. Is it possible that there is some relationship between the two people? I heard that Cai's accent has a Jiangnan flavor. "
Hearing He Yao's answer, Huang Qiong's heart sank. Situ Huanshuang's memory of the time when he was young and living in Suzhou was already vague. But he had heard Mrs. Cai say that her mother-in-law was also from Suzhou. My father once worked as a fellow scholar in Suzhou. Because he liked the scenery of Suzhou, he settled in Suzhou after becoming an official. In addition to two brothers, there is also a sister in the family.
My sister married into a famous Confucian family in Suzhou. My brother-in-law is also a famous local Confucian scholar in Suzhou, and his articles have always been known for his sharp writing. When he was praising Cai's appearance, Cai once told him about it. Her appearance is just ordinary. If she meets her sister, she will be a heavenly being. It's a pity that my brother-in-law was unable to stay in Suzhou because he criticized the then-prefect of Suzhou.
He accepted an invitation from a wealthy man and went south with his family to give lectures. In addition, she married her ex-husband, who had been engaged since childhood, and then came to Shaanxi Road in the northwest. The two sisters have not seen each other again for more than ten years. Situ Huanshuang's parents were from Suzhou, and his father was also a famous scholar in Suzhou Prefecture. Later, because he criticized the then Suzhou prefect, he was invited by the Guilin County Prince to go south.
Sister Cai’s experience, except for what she experienced after going south, she didn’t know. What she knew was almost exactly the same as what Situ Huanshuang had told her about her biological parents' experiences. Ms. Cai also told herself that although she was considered a top beauty, her sister was even more beautiful than her. In her words, she lamented whether her sister would meet the same fate as herself.
The most important thing is that Ms. Cai once mentioned to herself that her sister also had a daughter with her brother-in-law before she followed her husband south. My brother-in-law loves that daughter very much. Whenever I have some free time every day, I will hold her and never let go. My niece almost grew up on my brother-in-law's neck. Before she got married, she had always envied the relationship between her sister and her brother-in-law.
Although I was a little skeptical at first, I didn't care too much. But Situ Huanshuang, who had always been calm, behaved so rudely. Even in front of him, he seemed a little disappointed. I am afraid that the two people have determined each other's identities. At least Situ Huanshuang recognized Mr. Cai. I don’t know whether Mr. Cai recognized Situ Huanshuang first, or whether Situ Huanshuang recognized Ms. Cai first.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but get up and get out of bed. At this time, after listening to He Yao's words and looking at Huang Qiong's face, Lin Hanyan roughly guessed something, but he grabbed Huang Qiong and said, "Sir, it doesn't matter. You can't ask now if there is really any special relationship between the two. Shuang'er is a person with strong self-esteem, so it's not appropriate for you to ask at this time."
"Judging from the age and appearance of the two of them, Mr. Cai is most likely Shuang'er's elder, and he is probably very close to his elders. Shuang'er is a stubborn person. She looks like she doesn't care about anything on the outside, but in fact she is very close to her elders. She is still a very traditional person. She works with her elder, and the elder still has her husband's flesh and blood in her belly. I'm afraid she still won't be able to accept it, at least for a short period of time."
"If you ask so carelessly, wouldn't it make her even more sad, even a little embarrassed? If she wanted to tell you, she would have told you last night. I think this matter should not be too direct. It's better to go step by step. During this period of time, spend more time with her. In your words, use more twists and turns to enlighten her. Don't let her stay in the corner for too long.
"As time goes by, she will tell you when she figures it out. This matter is actually not a big deal. In fact, there are many such things in the Tian family. But the key is that she has to think about it herself. It's no use trying to persuade anyone. During this time, you may have to work harder. However, after all, it was you who caused this matter. You are a husband, if you don't bear it, who will? "
Speaking of this, Lin Hanyan said bitterly: "When will you restrain your lustful nature? Look at all the things you have caused? The five people in front of you, mother-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can only serve as your concubines at most. That's all, Shuang'er ended it for you and covered it up. But you are good, not only don't you know how to restrain yourself, but now it's on her head, it will be up to you how you end it."
After saying that, Lin Hanyan still felt a little confused and resentful, and reached out to pinch Huang Qiong's thing. But he stretched out his hand, but was held down by Huang Qiong: "Hanyan is merciless, this can't be pinched. If this pinch is broken, Hanyan pinched happiness with his own hands, wouldn't he be a widow from now on?" The most important thing is that the sisters in the palace still hate smoking?"
Regarding Huang Qiong's words, Lin Hanyan, whose face turned red because of the trouble, said nothing. Duan Jin on the other side said bitterly: "I think it's better to cut off the roots of right and wrong, so as to save you from being a troublemaker. When you went to Longyou, the sisters Everyone knows that you will not be honest in Xijing, and they all feel sorry for you in Xijing without even a single person to serve you."
"A man, there is no one who can really be honest. You are the prince of the dynasty now, and there are many dirty officials below who are trying all kinds of ways to curry favor with you in order to be promoted. That deputy envoy of Shaanxi Jiedu, isn't he even his wife? , daughter-in-law, daughter, and two concubines are all dedicated to you? When you come back, you will bring a few back, and the sisters are not unprepared at all."
"But none of us expected that you would bring back so much at once. You were still cold-blooded, and there were people of all ages among them. Let's not talk about the identity of Mr. Cai. But he is already forty at that age. Although she is the most beautiful among the women you brought back, her age is different. There are also those Li, Wang and Zhou who are about the same age."
"You have a good appetite, and you took it as it was, and actually let me get pregnant. I also heard that the Li family and the Dong family, and the Wang family and the Zhang family are all former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. What do you think if that is the case? Mrs. Cai is really Shuang'er's elder. When the child in her belly is born, how should he call Shuang'er? Should he call him aunt or cousin? Even the emperors of the former Tang Dynasty were not as ridiculous as you."
"Now that you've made Shuang'er so uncomfortable, I'll see what will happen to you when the time comes. So, in my opinion, it's better for you to go and get rid of your trouble-making roots. Anyway, you now have two sons and two sons. Girl, there are three more people over there who have your flesh and blood in their bellies. Even if you become a father-in-law now, you won’t have to worry about no one inheriting the chair under your butt. "
Duan Jin's words made Huang Qiong feel a little ashamed. She touched her nose in embarrassment and murmured for a long time, but she couldn't find a reason to excuse herself. I could only hold the three girls in my arms and comfort them for a while. Except for He Yao, who was used to being gentle, Duan Jin and Lin Hanyan gave him a big roll of their eyes for his behavior, which was really trying to hide it.
