"Adoption? Your family has an eldest son, so you still need to adopt him?"
In the private room of the teahouse, Lin Yanran put down the teacup in astonishment.
Xie Wanyu said calmly: "Both the old lady and the Marquis like that child, it's useless for me to object."
Lin Yanran frowned, "What is that child's background?"
Xie Wanyu was not surprised that her friend was so keen. After all, her biological father was the young minister of Dali Temple, and he was also quite good at reasoning.
However, she had no intention of telling Lin Yanran the truth for the time being, so she changed the subject and asked, "How much do you know about King Qin?"
"Are you asking His Majesty the King of Qin?" Lin Yanran's eyes suddenly lit up, "Let me tell you, His Majesty is truly unparalleled in looks, civility, military skills, phoenix, phoenix, orchids, and his virtues are everywhere..."
Xie Wanyu interrupted her speechlessly, "I'm asking how you are as a person?"
Lin Yanran was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes dangerously and stared at her, "Wanwan, don't you also believe the rumors that His Highness King Qin has a disloyal heart?"
Xie Wanyu was noncommittal, "If the King of Qin had a disloyal heart, he would not have supported the current emperor's accession to the throne eight years ago."
Lin Yanran slapped the table, excited, "No! When the emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age, several older princes were unconvinced and stirred up troubles. The court was in chaos. If His Highness King Qin, as the emperor's uncle, had not stood up, , I will work hard to suppress the chaos, and it is still unclear whether I can succeed or not!"
"At that time, the royal family members and most of the court officials wanted to support His Highness to ascend the throne, but His Highness supported the current successor. He did not want the imperial party to cause harm to the people, so he even gave up his glory and honor and went to the bitter and cold border to guard. Over the years, he has done his best for the country and the people, but the people in the imperial court are still spreading rumors. They are so cruel and cruel that they can't be punished!"
Lin Yanran became angrier as she spoke, her silver teeth clenched loudly, "This time the court summons His Highness back to the capital, there might be another trouble!"
Xie Wanyu knew that the Lin family and the Queen Mother Qin's family were from the same clan, and Lin Yanran admired the King of Qin Taishu Ai very much, but she did not expect that she would defend him to such an extent that she would even dare to scold him now.
She shook her head, "The King of Qin has an army of 500,000, and he has a good reputation among the people, so the court will naturally not rest assured. And although he is young now, he is extremely suspicious. Back then, he almost lost the throne. How can you not regard the King of Qin as a serious problem?"
In his previous life, Taishu Ai was jealous of the emperor and coerced and lured his trustworthy lieutenant. When Taishu Ai was about to kill the enemy general, he secretly attacked and seriously injured Taishu Ai. He eventually died on the battlefield, and a generation of war gods fell. It's so sad.
Later, Xiao Jing took over Tai Shuqi's position.
It is undeniable that Xiao Jing is a rare general talent, but compared to Tai Shuqi's skill in using soldiers, there are still many shortcomings, so until her consciousness dissipated, Xiao Jing could only barely resist the enemy's invasion.
She didn't know much about Tai Shuqi, she had only vaguely heard some rumors.
For example, the successor of the late emperor Xu Yi was actually the King of Qin, but the imperial edict was tampered with by the envoys of the late emperor Jingren.
Another example is that the current Queen Mother was once the sweetheart of the King of Qin, but ended up marrying Emperor Jingren. Later, Emperor Jingren died, and the Queen Mother and her son were bullied by the former harem and almost hanged. It was the King of Qin who protected them...
Thinking about the outcome of King Qin later, it is not ironic.
Lin Yanran's mouth twitched, "It's a good thing we are in a private room, otherwise if your words get out, you will be treated as a disrespectful person!"
Xie Wanyu had a lot of time, "We are half-hearted, why don't you listen to what you said before?"
As soon as the words fell, the two sisters couldn't help but let out a chuckle and looked at each other with a smile.
In the private room separated by a wall, Song Fuli raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man wearing a silver mask opposite him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the prince's supporters would also include women from the backyard."
Yan Qingzhao on the side snorted, "Even the woman in the backyard knows that there is something fishy about the court summoning the prince back to the capital this time! We are risking our lives in the border town, but the man in the palace is always suspicious of this and this, it is really boring!"
"As a minister, I must obey your orders." The young man slowly placed a piece on the chessboard and spoke calmly.
Song Fuli had a smile on his face and cursed in his heart: If you really want to obey your orders, you old man should not appear in the capital right now!
At this time, I heard a woman's clear and graceful voice coming from next door.
"Two days ago, I packed up my book box and found an isolated medical book. It contains many treatment prescriptions for diseases in the military. It is quite rare and exquisite."
Taishu Ai paused with his fingers on the chess piece and raised his dark eyes.
"You asked me about His Highness King Qin's character. Do you plan to dedicate medical books to His Highness?" Lin Yanran suddenly understood.
Xie Wanyu did not deny it. She had thought about it before, and she only thought that King Qin would not be too self-respecting and would be able to promote those medical prescriptions. As for whether this will make King Qin's reputation even greater and arouse more suspicion today, I guess given King Qin's current situation, after all, he has too much debt to worry about.
Lin Yanran hesitated, "Uncle Xie is the emperor's teacher, why don't you let Uncle Xie present the medical book?"
Xie Wanyu curled her lips sarcastically, "That man can only see the threats to his power from others, but cannot see the suffering of the soldiers who defend the country and the people at the bottom. If that medical book is presented to the palace, there are only two outcomes. , throw it into the library and never see the light of day, or burn it to prevent the recipe from spreading and benefiting others."
In her previous life, her father and brother were rejected by the emperor just because they said a few words on behalf of the King of Qin. Even after the Xie family was framed, the emperor did not conduct a thorough investigation and directly ordered the Xie family to have their homes confiscated and exiled. After the death of King Qin, all the troops of King Qin he brought out became pawns on the battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of troops suffered heavy casualties. The people at the border were displaced one after another in battles, and their families were destroyed.
Such lords of the world are truly a disaster for the people!
Lin Yanran hurriedly covered her mouth, "Shut up! When did you become so open-minded?"
Xie Wanyu suppressed the anger rising in her heart and patted her hand, "I was quick to speak quickly, but I won't do it next time."
Lin Yanran rolled her eyes at her, "If you really plan to give the medical book to His Highness, after His Highness returns to Beijing, I will ask my father to talk to His Highness and find an opportunity for you to meet His Highness."
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "I will have the medical book delivered to your house later. You can just give it to Uncle Lin directly. There is no need to tell others that I gave it to you."
"That's okay." Lin Yanran nodded.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they got up and left.
After leaving the teahouse, Xie Wanyu was about to get on the carriage when she suddenly raised her head with emotion and unexpectedly met a pair of dark and gloomy eyes.
The man was wearing a silver mask and couldn't see clearly. He looked at her condescendingly, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes. However, Xie Wanyu noticed that the other person had no ill intentions, so she was startled for a moment, nodded, and turned around to get on the carriage.
"Does the prince know that lady?" Song Fuli looked over.
Tai Shuqi looked away and said calmly: "Second Miss of the Xie family."
The little girl who was still wearing her hair in a bun was now married to someone else.
"From Taifu Xie's family? I heard that the Xie family has married two legitimate daughters into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. It seems that this is Xiao Jing's stepwife!" Song Fuli sighed with a look on his face, "She also looks smart, why? Just marry such a hypocrite?"
Tai Shuqi returned to the chess table and said calmly: "Send someone to contact the Lin family. If the medical book is as she said, ask people to pay more attention to it in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
