After going to the Yu family in person to propose marriage, Li Xiu gave various reasons to shirk the proposal. Princess Jincheng, who also knew that Li Xiu was a stepmother and had some things to say that was not easy to say, did not get too entangled. But all I want to do is find a strong backer for the only seedling under my knees in the post-old man era. Princess Jincheng, who was even more anxious to facilitate this marriage, did not dare to go to Huang Qiong.
Then I remembered that the old man came and started doing water grinding work here. I hope the old man will come forward and let Huang Qiong decree the marriage directly. As for the future daughter-in-law's family scandal, it means nothing in the face of real interests. What's more, in Princess Jincheng's view, Yu Mingyuan was able to survive in that environment, and one can imagine his firm will. Children educated by such a family are absolutely infallible.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't dare to face Huang Qiong's mother's sharp gaze. Before the old man, Princess Jincheng had been vague and refused to tell the truth. She even planned to beg Huang Qiong's fearful mother. Fortunately, the old man finally spoke up and agreed to find a way to help facilitate this matter. Because she really didn't dare, Princess Jincheng didn't go to Huang Qiong's mother.
The old man, who has always been indebted to this daughter in his heart, except that he really can't stand Princess Jincheng. In addition, he also loves Gao Huaiyuan, his grandson. I also know how much Huang Qiong attaches importance to Mingyuan. Princess Jincheng is her eldest daughter and the eldest princess of the imperial court. Although her status is noble, as the eldest princess she has no real power, which means she is noble but not important.
The resulting son is also a hereditary earl. Although he is the emperor's direct nephew, he is not a direct bloodline of the Tian family, and his status is obvious but not noble. If the two families can really get married, they can also win over Yu Mingyuan and tie the Tian family and the Yu family tightly together. Let Yu Mingyuan completely become Huang Qiong's most powerful arm. At the same time, compared to the marriage between princes, it will not bring any hidden dangers to the Tian family.
The old man also knew clearly that his son looked down upon most of the children of the aristocratic families, except for a few people, such as Guo Chen. Of course, most of the children of aristocratic families, not to mention Huang Qiong, the old man himself also knows what kind of virtue they are. It was somewhat beyond his expectation that his son could like Gao Huaiyuan and have been cultivating him with great efforts.
But Gao Huaiyuan is valued by him now, but who can guarantee that the flower will be red for a thousand days? If Gao Huaiyuan could become Yu Mingyuan's son-in-law, he would have made a mistake, and his son would not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. Therefore, the old man finally agreed to Princess Jincheng, and this is what he said to Huang Qiong today. Just looking at Huang Qiong who was a little embarrassed, the old man who already knew about this also had a headache.
But Huang Qiong didn't know how to answer what the old man meant. Where has anyone done this? Even in this era, what matters is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. But the problem is that Yu Mingyuan is also a little reluctant now. What can I do as a king? You can't force someone to match you, right? The key to this matter still lies with Gao Huaiyuan and the eldest lady.
Regarding the old man's expectant look, Huang Qiong made it clear that with Yu Mingyuan's temper, if he didn't want to, he wouldn't drink water even if he held his head down. Blindly forcibly tying them together may only be counterproductive. Before Yu Mingyuan agreed to the marriage, he would not forcefully decree the marriage or engage in a romantic match. But he also said that he would do his best to facilitate this matter.
Knowing that with Huang Qiong's temperament, it was extremely difficult to make such a promise, the old man did not continue to ask further. After the two men chatted for a while, the old man let Huang Qiong go see her mother and child. As for the father and son, what they were talking about these days was really just chatting. The old man didn't ask a word about the government, not even about his other sons.
It wasn't until Huang Qiong was about to leave that the old man sighed softly: "You should restrain yourself a little bit about Princess Ji's matter. If word spreads about your brother bullying your sister-in-law, it will be bad for your reputation. King Ji's matter is indeed what he did. No. How you punish him is all your business. This matter is a family matter, but the direction he ran to is Beiliao, and it is also government affairs. I should not continue to interfere. "
"But you shouldn't bring Princess Ji into the palace. It's called protection, but everyone inside and outside the court knows what this protection means. There is no airtight wall in this world. First it was Lin Hanyan, and then Tang So, now it's Wang Xuemei again. You can't put all the princesses of your brothers who have committed crimes into your own account. Even if they haven't been given titles yet, who in this court doesn't know?"
"Lin Hanyan's father and brother originally didn't dare to let Lin Hanyan touch him after King Jing's crime. But now, although he is still cautious, he lets her mother and sister-in-law run to the palace over and over again. Those officials in the court are no better than monkeys. If Lin Hanyan hadn't had any special relationship with you, why would they be so busy? Your intention to protect is tacitly understood by everyone. "
"You are now the king of a country. Logically speaking, I should not care about this matter. But the pen is as sharp as a sword. I don't want my successor to leave a person in the history books who is greedy for sex and lust, and even goes to the point of being hungry and unselective. My sister-in-law has not let go of her reputation. There are some things that I don’t want to say, but I have to say them. Because you are my son and the monarch of the Qi Dynasty. "
After the old man finished speaking, Huang Qiong wanted to defend himself, but found that he really had nothing to say on this matter. It's just that it's already this time, and it's no longer possible for me to let go. As early as when King Ji ran away, Huang Qiong vaguely guessed that the reason why King Ji ran away was other than his own ambition. It is also very possible that he may also know about his affair with Wang Xuemei.
I have never abolished Prince Ji's title, but I actually feel a little sorry in my heart. Although it was said that she and Wang Xuemei bumped into each other by mistake. Under the circumstance that he could not kill anyone and silence him, he was forced to make a helpless move in order to save Lin Hanyan. Of course, I have long been interested in Wang Xuemei, who is beautiful and plump. But before that time, I really never thought about taking away people's beauty.
But no matter what, Wang Xuemei now, like Lin Hanyan and Tang Ru, has become her personal favorite. Facing the old man's accusation, I did feel a little embarrassed. But if you let yourself go, it is absolutely impossible. So in the face of the old man's criticism, Huang Qiong could only say nothing. I was secretly glad that the old man didn't know about his affairs with Princess Teng yet.
Huang Qiong's silence made the old man who was originally calm and calm couldn't help but feel angry. I just wanted to get angry, but I remembered this son's alternative hobby and the fact that the son in front of me was already the king of a country. I finally suppressed the anger in my heart and could only sigh helplessly. What if I scold him? ? Just vent your anger on your own.
What can we do to him? Forget it, the country is all given to him, what’s left of a woman? Whatever he wants to do, so be it. Fortunately, he performed very well in handling government affairs, and he was known to know people well and make good use of them. In less than two years, the rebels, who had been so vigorous before, were beaten back to their home base. Otherwise, just this one thing is enough to be regarded as a coward in the history books.
When my son gets older, he can’t help his father. I can only hope that he can understand his good intentions as an old father. When Huang Qiong turned around and wanted to say something, the old man just waved his hand. Seeing the old man signaling for him to leave, Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, but in the end said nothing, and finally chose to leave the old man's study obediently.
When I arrived at my mother's place, I saw that my mother was teaching her daughter, Shouyang, Huahua, and two other girls to read. After greeting her mother, Huang Qiong lovingly touched the tops of the girls' hair and then turned her attention to her own daughter. But this daughter, with a very cold temperament, just glanced at her father and then focused on the book in her hand.
Compared to Shouyang who had a big smile after meeting Huang Qiong. But he didn't even give a smile to his father. Huang Qiong wanted to hug his daughter, but her daughter rejected him directly. Huang Qiong, who was rejected by her daughter again, touched her nose helplessly. Seeing her daughter's cold look, which was becoming more and more like her mother's original demeanor, Huang Qiong could only sigh helplessly.
But after taking a look at the book in her daughter's hand, Huang Qiong felt a little ashamed. He did not expect that his eldest daughter and eldest son who stayed with him had not even started reading. This little daughter who grew up beside her mother has already started reading "Zhou Bi Suan Jing". After scratching his head, Huang Qiong casually told her some things she needed to pay attention to when learning arithmetic in order to get closer to her daughter.
Unexpectedly, the little girl raised her chin arrogantly and said with great arrogance: "Grandma has already talked about these things my father said to me. Also, today I am just following my grandmother's request to review the past and learn the new." That's all. I finished reading this book last month. So, father, don't waste any more words. Although you are my father, don't interfere with my reading."
This little girl is still so different and arrogant. She doesn't call Huang Qiong "Father" like other princes in the palace. Instead, she calls Huang Qiong "Father". Even when he said this, his tone revealed a hint of arrogance and coldness. Anyway, this naughty kid who grew up beside his mother didn’t know how to raise her in other aspects. But this arrogance is something I learned a lot from.
The child's clear voice made Huang Qiong feel a little embarrassed. However, although she felt that she had lost all face, it was the first time that Huang Qiong heard the child call her father, and Huang Qiong was still very happy. However, Huang Qiong wanted to touch the top of her hair, but he turned around and avoided it. Although he didn't say anything, his face still showed extreme disdain. Compared to the lovely eldest daughter, this child is really heart-wrenching.
Looking at Huang Qiong, who is already the king of a country, but is repeatedly frustrated by his own daughter. The mother also shook her head helplessly, but did not say anything in front of the child. After taking Huang Qiong to the next door, he said: "This child is very mature, but his mind is extremely smart, even smarter than you were back then. He learns things almost immediately. Moreover, he can learn with patience, even better than you. Much stronger.”
"However, this child's temperament is indeed too cold. When I was her age, I was not as close to anyone as she was. Don't tell me that you haven't even visited her father for a long time. Even He Yao, who comes to see her every three or five days, is not very close. Now I can hold her to sleep, and occasionally touch the top of her head, but I can't even kiss her."
"Not to mention my brothers and sisters, even Shouyang and Huahua, who grew up together, are not close to each other. Among the children around her, Liu Yatou is better. Don't use the other two right. My child, treat her in that way. Be more patient with her and see her more often. She will be better. She is your daughter after all, and the blood connection cannot be broken."
