Perhaps some time ago, after listening to what Nalan Ji and Nalan said, it was difficult for a woman to find a good marriage partner when she was over twenty. On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Sima Yu in the car, Nalan Xue instinctively

I asked him what he thought about this matter.

Sima Yu knew that Nalan Xue was a woman disguised as a man, and had long been interested in her. Now when she asked her about it, when she talked about her own thoughts, she naturally became biased, and this bias happened to be

So she misled Nalan Xue and made her think that as long as a woman is virtuous and talented, age actually doesn't matter at all. Those women who married early are all average in virtue and talent, and they don't take advantage of their youth and beauty.

Find a marriage quickly, and then you will have nothing to rely on.

"Chronicles of the Red Emperor" records that the Red Emperor's daughter came into the world unmarried at the age of twenty. Later, she became famous all over the world. Princes and powerful ministers from all over the world admired her and proposed to marry her. In the following year, the noble girls from all over the world followed her example, and all their husbands regarded her as virtuous.

Therefore, within the four kingdoms, there is no longer a daughter who marries young.

…

After receiving Nalan Xue's careful explanation, Nalan Shu went to court early the next morning using his own identity for the first time.

Xu Shi was also thrown into the military camp by Nalan Duan and beaten when he was young. When he went to court for the first time, Nalan Shu did not feel weak or nervous in his legs like many officials who went to court for the first time.

According to Nalan Xue's instructions, Nalan Shu stood at the door of the hall early, at the first position on the left. When others greeted him, they all just smiled and nodded, and continued to read with their heads down. When they heard the little eunuch calling to come to court, he

He folded the corner of the book, put it into his sleeve, and said hello to General Yuchi. The two of them led the people behind them side by side, and walked slowly into the hall. When they reached an empty chair, they stopped and waited for the emperor.

I came in, sat down on the dragon chair, and after paying my respects, I heard the little eunuch shout, Prime Minister Nalan, please take a seat. Then he sat down on the chair, took out the paper book and charcoal that Nalan Xue had been using, and wrote down the imperial eunuch.

Write down everything discussed above.

Leaving aside Sima Qing, the first person to notice that Nalan Shu was different from ordinary people today was Sima Yu. He frowned slightly, his eyes rested on Nalan Shu's neck for a moment, and saw that he had exposed his clothes.

With his Adam's apple, he understood that the person coming to court today was not Nalan Xue.

It is said that care leads to chaos. Sima Yu, who was not aware of the situation, saw that either Nalan Xue came to court, or his whole body became tense. For example, he was sick, uncomfortable, injured, grounded, or forced to marry.

...and other conjectures all of a sudden popped up in his mind. The morning court that he usually felt was not enough, today, suddenly became uneasy for him! He stood next to the emperor's dragon throne, that

The position was originally supposed to be the position where Nalan Xue could see the most clearly, but today, it was Nalan Shu who came to court instead, but the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. The more he looked at it, the more panicked he felt.

I just wished that the next moment, Sima Qing would call to retreat, and he rushed to Nalan Mansion to take a look at Nalan Xue and see what happened to her!

Yesterday, Xueer asked me what I think about a woman who is not married yet in her twenties. Could it be that... she was forced to get married by her two brothers? If that is the case, then I will go see her later and ask

It’s clear. When you come back, tell your father that you want to marry her as the crown princess!

Sima Yu in the court, his thoughts have flown out to an unknown distance. If Nalan Xue and his two elder brothers disagree, how should he respond? His father does not agree, how can he act coquettishly, and his mother does not agree.

, how he wants to threaten, how he wants to fight against his royal brothers, how he wants to deal with it... he has all thought of ways to solve it, and his determination can be imagined!

I don't know what Sima Qing was thinking. On this day, an order was issued in the court to change the reign name from Tianqi to Zhaohe.

According to the rules of Mo State, the reign name cannot be changed casually. Generally speaking, when a new emperor succeeds to the throne, or there is a rebellion in the country, it will be changed only after the emperor personally conquers the rebellion. When Sima Qing succeeds to the throne, he will only use it.

This time, the reign name was changed without any warning, without even discussing it with the ministers in the court. It really surprised all the ministers. Just when all the ministers

His eyes turned to Nalan Shu, planning to wait for him to speak out his objection first, only to find that he was sitting there quietly as before, smiling slightly and lowering his head, as if, this matter,

It's like it's nothing serious at all.

It turns out that this was discussed with Prime Minister Nalan early in the morning. No wonder the emperor would suddenly make such a decision. It’s not surprising, it’s not surprising.

Seeing Nalan Shu's reaction, the ministers stopped talking and became restless. They each exchanged looks with the people of their own group, obediently swallowed the objections that came to their lips, and a few of them swallowed back their objections.

, and instinctively took a small step back to the side.

The morning court has always only discussed some matters that need to be resolved. Other matters that can be considered and decided are usually written down and handed over to the palace to be sent to the imperial study. The emperor will review them before making a decision. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the morning court will

Neither lasts long.

Everyone reported a few minor matters, and after the chief eunuch shouted, "If you have something to report, if you have nothing to do, please leave the court." This day's morning court was considered to be over.

Following Nalan Xue's instructions in advance, Nalan Shu stood up quietly, put away the paper book and charcoal in his hand, put it back in his sleeve, and asked the chief eunuch if there was an emperor's decree that he needed to stay to discuss state affairs.

, then, he lowered his head, straightened his clothes, turned around and walked towards the door of the hall.

At this time, Sima Yu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, couldn't bear it any longer. He quickly walked up to Nalan Shu, grabbed his sleeves, and asked anxiously, "Nalan, ah,

No, Shuer, is Xueer sick?"

"She...is sick? Who did you hear that from?"

When asked by Sima Yu, Nalan Shu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instinctively froze for a moment, frowned slightly, and looked at Sima Yu who was asking him, "Last night, you were studying with me.

He didn't show any discomfort..."

After listening to Nalan Shu, Sima Yu was slightly relieved that Nalan Xue was not sick. It would be fine if he was not sick. In this case, at most, he would be forced into marriage. Although, he thought that after he ascended the throne, he would be fine.

No matter how gloriously he married her as the queen, it seems that now, he has no choice but to aggrieve her a little and let her be his crown princess first. The worst is, in the future, when he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will make her an unprecedented one.

That's it for the Queen's Ceremony.

"If you have nothing to ask, I will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, Yu."

Seeing that Sima Yu stopped asking questions, Nalan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to him, left him alone, turned around and continued walking towards the entrance of the hall.

On the surface, he seemed extremely calm, but Nalan Shu's heart was turbulent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that if he had not already known what might happen in the court today, he was well prepared. Just now, Sima Qing suddenly raised the question.

If I want to change the year name, I will really make a fool of myself...

Nalanxue said that Sima Qing would propose at least one of these four things, changing the reign name, raising and lowering taxes, appointing and removing officials, or proclaiming the crown prince, to test whether he is qualified to be the messenger.

character, so don’t be nervous, just smile calmly and don’t say a word, that’s enough to deal with it. As expected, Sima Qing really tested him by changing his reign name!

Sima Qing was very satisfied with Nalan Shu's performance in the court. He was calm and calm in every situation. If he had not known that this person was not Nalan Xue, he would have been deceived by him.

Could it be that back then, I only saw that Nalan Xue was smart, so I suddenly decided that she would be Nalan Duan's successor, and stopped paying attention to others, so I buried the pearl of Nalan Shu.

of?

According to what I know, Nalan Shu just hides in the inner house of Nalan Mansion every day and does not go out. Even the servants in Nalan Mansion don't know that these twins are...

The brothers and sisters who were born are all in the house... Such a person who rarely talks to others can still have the demeanor and temperament he has today. If this happens, after more than ten years of hard work, will he become the same?

Like Nalanxue, outstanding? Or even better?

A wise emperor always hopes that his ministers will all be good ministers, and the more the better. Even if the entire dynasty has civil and military officials, there will never be too many. It is obvious that Sima Qing is such an emperor.

After feeling that Nalan Shu might be an excellent courtier, Sima Qing wanted to change his mind, and planned to bargain with Nalan Xue some more, changing his nationality to Nalan Xue to record the matter, and tell her the truth to Nalan Shu.

He should truly be his right-hand man, express his own opinions, and discuss state affairs.

Of course, Sima Qing, a smart emperor who has been with Nalan Xue for so many years, will not know what a good negotiator Nalan Xue is. Although, she has never bargained with him before, but

, her performance in front of the envoys of the Surabaya Kingdom when she was eight years old is enough to show this. What's more, she is now twenty, twelve years older than that time, smart, and

Where is the comparison back then?

Therefore, the only feasible way is to strike first! Decide to catch her off guard!

…

In the winter of the first year of Showa, when the reign title was first changed, Emperor Sima Qing issued an imperial edict, conferring the title of Prince Consort Nalan as the Minister of the Ministry of War, with a rank of third rank, the title of military general, and a civil official position, and he was responsible for recording court affairs on behalf of his younger brother Nalan.

In Nalan Mansion, Nalan Xue was wearing women's clothes that she had not worn for a long time. She was lying on a soft chair in the small courtyard. She was crossing her legs as if she didn't look like a lady. She was holding a bunch of grapes in her hand without peeling them off.

I only bite three or five of them, and after chewing for a while, I spit out a bunch of grape skins and seeds with a smile on my face as if my conspiracy had succeeded.
