After the sixth princess finished speaking, she saw that her father did not speak. She thought about what she had just said and checked for any shortcomings. In the end, she discovered one thing.
"Father, do you know why that gentleman beats his wife at home?"
Emperor Shengning finally spoke, "Why?"
"Because he wants his daughter, who has already been engaged and will get married soon, to break off the engagement and marry the son of Mr. Xie. His wife does not agree. She has no idea who Mr. Xie is or who he is. What about your son? You can't betray your promise. When the man is not at fault, he bullies the other person and withdraws from the relationship just because the other person's family background is not as good as his own. Later, the master was unhappy and beat him. "
After the sixth princess finished speaking, her eyes flickered at Emperor Shengning. Emperor Shengning looked at her daughter's innocent and innocent eyes, as if he was the one who beat his wife, and felt guilty for no reason.
He coughed lightly and glanced at Concubine Xin.
Concubine Xin gave him an angry look, and Emperor Shengning was a little embarrassed. He turned to look at his daughter and said helplessly: "Okay, you are not a good accuser at all. Tell me, who is the third-grade official who beats his wife?" who?"
The Sixth Princess raised her chin and said: "I didn't complain. I know that if you beat your wife behind closed doors, even if your father knows about it, you can't interfere. After all, it's a family matter, Erchen." I just feel that since I know this, I should tell my father. He knows what kind of person he is, and he will not be deceived by him in the future..."
"Yu'er, your father is the Nine-Five Supreme Being, his heart is as clear as a mirror, how could he be deceived by others!"
Concubine Xin interrupted the sixth princess with a frown.
Emperor Shengning waved his hand and said with a smile: "What Xiaoliu said is that as the lord of this world, I want to be aware of it, but I am also a mortal. No matter how many methods I have, there will always be omissions. , since Xiaoliu heard it today, I am very happy to be able to tell my father as soon as I come back."
"Father, the emperor is wise!" The sixth princess patted the emperor's back in a timely manner.
"Father, the villain who looks like a gentleman and has a strong character in front of you, but in private, in order to climb high, is dishonest, has no integrity, and beats his wife, is Mr. Yu Shishu, the left deputy governor of the Inspectorate. His three My daughter’s name is Shu Chan, she is a friend of Cousin Yan and the others, and she is also my daughter’s friend now.”
The Sixth Princess added a lot of prefixes to Shu Pingkuo's name. Emperor Shengning listened a little casually at first, but when he heard Shu Pingkuo's name, he sat up straighter.
"Master Shu...is he the one who only has three daughters and no sons, but insists on not taking concubines and only devotes himself to his wife?"
When Concubine Xin heard this, she sat up straight. She was even more shocked than Emperor Shengning.
The Sixth Princess nodded heavily, "That's him. Mom, have you heard the rumors about this Master Shu?"
Concubine Xin nodded. In the eyes of women, an image like Shu Pingkuo's was the best choice for her husband. Which woman would not envy Mrs. Shu's good fortune.
Although he is in a high position, he is devoted to his wife and does not take concubines or have sex with each other. Even if he does not have a son, he still has to protect this "only you" love. It is just like the story written in the storybook, no, compared to the story written in the storybook. It should also be touching and inspiring.
"Humph, Sister Shuang said that the first time she met Mrs. Shu was when she and her future sister-in-law went to Zhenbao Pavilion to choose jewelry. She drew the jewelry herself and asked the master of Zhenbao Pavilion to help her make it. , Mrs. Shu and Miss Shu San were also choosing jewelry for Miss Shu San, but they didn’t find anything they were satisfied with. Miss Shu San saw the appearance of the jewelry drawn by Sister Shuang and fell in love with it at a glance. Later, Mrs. Shu So I took the initiative to find Sister Shuang and asked her to help draw the jewelry. At that time, Sister Shuang didn't know Mrs. Shu, but she said that her future sister-in-law's eyes suddenly brightened up when she heard Mrs. Shu introduce herself."
The Sixth Princess was chattering, but Emperor Shengning did not interrupt her. Concubine Xin wanted to interrupt her several times, but Emperor Shengning stopped her with his eyes.
"Hmph!" The Sixth Princess became angrier as she thought about it, and couldn't help but snort loudly, "That Master Shu made all the women in the world envious of Mrs. Shu when he was away, but he ended up beating his wife at home. He is like a human with a beast's heart..."
"Yu'er, why are you talking?" Concubine Xin scolded.
Emperor Shengning waved his hand, and Concubine Xin had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, please just pamper her!"
Emperor Shengning smiled and said, "She is my daughter. Who can I spoil if I don't tolerate her?"
"Yes, my father is wise!" the sixth princess said proudly.
"Who is Sister Shuang you just mentioned?" Emperor Sheng Ning suddenly asked.
"She is the sixth girl from the Anping residence. She is a good friend with Cousin Yan, and she is also a good friend of mine now."
"Then the future sister-in-law you just mentioned is the young mistress of the Yang family?" Emperor Shengning asked.
The Sixth Princess nodded, "Father, how do you know that Sister Shuang and Young Master Yang Liu have been engaged since childhood? By the way, Father, do you know that Young Master Yang Liu is the most popular prospect in Jinke, so he can live up to his expectations and has not lost Sister Shuang." s face."
After listening to the first half of the story, Emperor Shengning felt a little regretful. At that time, he was too concerned about the dignity of the monarch and his ministers, and he was also worried that the childhood sweethearts' friendship would be too difficult to break up, so when he saw such an outstanding young man as Yang Qingmo, he resisted and did not snatch him away. Come back and be your son-in-law.
But when he heard his daughter's last words, Emperor Sheng Ning couldn't help but exhale. Fortunately, he didn't do anything immoral. If his daughter knew that he had stolen her good friend's fiancé, she wouldn't be able to make trouble with him.
"You silly boy, Tanhua Lang was appointed by your father. How do you think he knew about it?"
Concubine Xin looked at the emperor with a smile. She thought of the time when the emperor selected the top ten in the palace examination list and sighed with herself. She looked over and over and counted. No matter how she looked at it, the son of the Yang Qing family was the best. With such pearls in front of him, he thinks that others are either old or ugly, too weak or too rough.
Fortunately, the Sixth Princess is not old yet, so she can wait for another year or two. But with the Emperor's standards for choosing a prince-in-law, Concubine Xin shook her head in her heart. She didn't know when her daughter would be able to find one that would satisfy both father and daughter. The Prince Consort.
Then he thought of his niece from her mother's family. Although Zhu Ni was not her biological niece, she was still married, and Sister Yan was still unaccompanied.
Naturally, Geng Xingshuang didn't know that the Sixth Princess had a talk with Emperor Balabala after she returned to the palace. Not only did she tell them about the Shu family, but she also brought her with her.
She was thinking about inviting Shu Chan out.
The next morning, Jinbao took the post to Shu Mansion and came back an hour later.
"Girl, I couldn't get in." Jin Bao said frustrated when he saw Geng Xingshuang.
"What's going on?" Geng Xingshuang frowned.
"The housekeeper of the Shu Mansion said that Mrs. Shu was ill, and Miss Shu San was attending to the illness, so she had no time to summon the servant. The servant said a lot of good things, saying that all she had to do was hand the post into the hands of Miss Shu San, and it wouldn't take long. But the housekeeper didn’t agree, saying that it was Master Shu who told me, so I had no choice but to give the post to the housekeeper and ask him to forward it to me.”
