"Father, are you doing this for us?" Cang Shu Haoyue said while pouring tea for her father.

After a commotion, Cang Shuliang hid in the bookshop on the grounds that he was old and lacked energy. At this moment, only Cangshu Haoyue and her children were left in the bookshop of Taoli Villa, while Meng Yan, as his son-in-law, naturally took on the responsibility of entertaining everyone to eat and drink.

.

"Yue'er, as a father, I don't care so much now that I'm old. Your Majesty knows that you are concerned about me. Qianchen is a man with ideals and ambitions. He can't let others hold him back. As a parent,

At this time, you should consider your children." Cang Shuliang said bluntly without shying away.

"No matter what we do, we will never put our father at risk, right?" Cang Shu Haoyue said unbearably.

"Can you bear to let your child stay here alone and be looked down upon and bullied by others?!" Cang Shuliang's tone became serious.

Cang Shu Haoyue was speechless when he mentioned the child, but he couldn't let go of his father, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

When Cang Shuliang saw Cang Shu Haoyue crying, she couldn't help but comforted her softly: "Girl, you don't have to worry about me. I'm safe in Longtan Hall. What will Xia Houming do to me? Are you still here?

There is a senior fellow from Zhongshu Ling here, so don’t worry, besides, won’t your husband make arrangements for me?”

"You two have already discussed this?" Cang Shu Haoyue reacted and exclaimed.

Cang Shuliang shook his head, looked at Cangshu Haoyue lovingly, and said: "Qianchen didn't know about it at first. He only understood it when he saw me giving a lecture."

Cang Shu Haoyue wanted to say something else, but Cang Shuliang stopped her and started teasing Meng Chuheng in her arms. While playing with the child's little face, she said: "Don't miss me after the New Year.

Follow Qianchen back to Changsha immediately, and don’t come back no matter what happens in the future, Chencheng is a place of right and wrong, and your identity is too conspicuous."

"Father, do you feel that the atmosphere in Chencheng is not right?" Cang Shu Haoyue immediately became alert.

"I can't tell. It's too calm and peaceful. It doesn't look like a court at all, but more like a family. No matter what kind of rule it is, Chencheng is the capital, not the capital of various places. It doesn't have the seriousness at all.

, the espionage organization runs amok." Cang Shuliang has never felt this way before, he just feels that danger is coming.

"Yes, that's what Qi Lang said. We just arrived at the Duke's Mansion of Chu State yesterday and arrested seven or eight spies in one night. In order not to cause their backlash, I didn't pursue the case. I just had a row of teeth knocked out and thrown out.

."

"You still have the same temper. Just throw them out. Why do you have to knock out other people's teeth?" Cang Shuliang was a little dissatisfied with Cang Shu Haoyue's handling. Since he didn't plan to go into details, he just beat him up.

"The palace of the Duke of Chu is about to become a street. Anyone can come here if they think of it. Even if I do this, it is considered light." Cang Shu Haoyue frowned and thought that she was right.

"That's all, you are also His Majesty's wife of the State of Chu. You don't have to be a princess or a princess in terms of status. Some methods are necessary. But next time you are unhappy, you can just break your legs. Don't do things like knocking people's teeth.

People also want to make a living, how can they eat if you knock out their teeth?" Cang Shuliang still loved his daughter, but suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "I heard what the Queen said, do you want to marry King Yuzhang?"

When Cang Shu Haoyue mentioned this, she became furious. This marriage was privately decided by Meng Yan. She didn't agree with it at all. She said angrily: "Wanshu is my daughter. If I don't agree with it, no one will marry her."

think!"

"It doesn't matter if we decide first. The child is still young now. Who knows where he will go in the future? There is no need to have another conflict with King Yuzhang at this time. Zhengxi Mansion and Zhengbei Mansion still need to work together to wipe out the Central Plains."

Cang Shuliang had a different opinion.

Cang Shu Haoyue stood up suddenly, hugged Wanshu and left, saying bitterly: "You just don't care about girls!"

After the bustle of Cangshu's lecture, the Chinese New Year was just a few days away. The Pinghai County Palace was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. Servants were rushing through the covered bridge. In the pavilion of the inner house, Xia Houying was busy serving dishes and pouring wine.

, Xia Houming and Xiao Yu sat opposite each other, both of them looking serious.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xia Houying said, "Father, that's not what the prince meant. He also wants to stabilize his strength. After all, the aggressive postures of Zhengxi Mansion and Anton Mansion have already been revealed."

"Your Majesty, I know your difficulties, but what should I do if I mobilize the generals of the Teng Snake Army to strengthen the expedition to Beifu?" Xia Houming found it difficult to accept Xiao Yu's lion mouth.

"Father-in-law, there are rumors in the army that Zhengbei Mansion took Jiangyou with the help of Zhengxi Mansion and Andong Mansion. Zhengbei Mansion has lost all its face." Xiao Yu had a sad look on his face.

"My lord, you are not someone who can be swayed by rumors. Since I have married my daughter to you, you and I are a family. If you have any unspeakable secrets, feel free to tell me." Xia Houming felt that Xiao Yu was using clumsy excuses.

If Xiao Yu was forced to use excuses to negotiate with him, he would definitely encounter a lot of difficulties.

Xiao Yu seemed to be in a dilemma and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Since my father-in-law has seen it, I won't hide it anymore. Your Majesty has no heirs. People from the Imperial Hospital revealed to me that I am afraid that your Majesty will never be able to have children again, and your Majesty's body is also damaged."

Not good, I think I am the only one who can take over the Xiao family."

Xia Houming took a breath. This Xiao Yu was too courageous. The cup he held in his hand shook a few times. He tried to calm down and stay calm. Then he thought that Xiao Yu was not trying to increase his strength, but to cherish the whole world.

The world, but his true thoughts are definitely not limited to this.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say! It's better to avoid such treasonous words." Xia Houming deliberately stopped him.

"Father-in-law, I've said this, and I won't change my mind. If you feel that what I did is wrong, you can just go about your business as the Privy Councilor of the Military Aircraft Pavilion." Xiao Yu did not panic, but calmed down. He did not

I think Xia Houming still can't learn to make choices after his family was broken up once.

"My lord, do you know that this is tantamount to treason!" Xia Houming became stern.

Xia Houying on the side couldn't sit still and said quickly: "Father, it's not what we want to do. Let's not talk about others, just Prince Dongyang and Princess Chenyang. If His Majesty is gone, who do you think the empress will trust? The Xiao family is powerful.

It’s just the Prince’s Zhengbei Mansion, if Meng Yan joins forces with them, we will be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others!”

"Ying'er, shut up! Where's your upbringing?" Xia Houming couldn't help scolding her.

"Father!" Xia Houying burst into tears and knelt down heavily and said, "If the father is willing to see his daughter's lower body look like you did on Suomen Island, just don't care about anything!"

These words shocked Xia Houming. He never wanted to go back to Suomen Island again in his life. Those days were too difficult and painful. He looked at Xiao Yu, who looked indifferent, and then looked at his unfulfilled daughter. He looked up to the sky and sighed, saying

: "I agreed, but you can't mobilize the people of the Teng Snake Army. I can select talents for you through the Military Aircraft Pavilion, but the Teng Snake Army must stay to deal with the Xiong Zhen Army. If I choose to help you, Xiong Zhen Army will not

We are no longer friends, does the prince understand?"

While Xiao Yu helped Xia Houying up, he nodded and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, over there!" What Xiao Yu wanted for such a blatant showdown today was actually Xia Houming's attitude. He had already been in contact with Lu Chongzong, and Lu Chongzong's attitude was very unclear.

, for people like Lu Chongzong, an unclear attitude means rejection. I really envy my uncle!

"Let's all sit down to eat. This is the meal before the New Year. You have to spend the New Year in the palace. Remember to get close to His Majesty!" Xia Houming pretended to scold the two of them.

Xia Houming succumbed to his love for his daughter, Cang Shuliang made sacrifices and choices to varying degrees out of support for his daughter, and Zhong Jue was a Buddhist father, and the three daughters were furious with each other.

He was lying on the rocking chair and resting his mind, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Sister, it's enough for Tu Shan to do her job as the God of Wealth. Why do you want to get involved in military affairs? And if you don't come to me, why do you ask Meng Yan for help?" Zhong Rouning put down her position as queen and spoke.

The identities of sisters speak to Zhong Rouxuan.

"Hmph! Please? You are the Queen, when have you ever taken care of us? When I was threatened by Third Sister and Meng Yan, did you ever think that I was your eldest sister?" Zhong Rouxuan said in a rude tone.

Totally indifferent.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you two quarreling with me? Sister, my soldiers and horses have not set foot on any inch of your Tushan clan's land. Besides, the deal you made with Meng Yan has nothing to do with me!" Zhong Rou!

Lan was unceremonious.

"Well said! Princess Chenyang, Xizhou Jiedushi Zhuo Tianya has never been polite to me. Do you dare to say that you didn't mean it?" Zhong Rouxuan's anger became more and more intense.

"Sister, let me tell you now, if you dare to send troops, I guarantee that the imperial court will definitely take action against the Tushan clan, no matter who you rely on!" Zhong Rouning was even more rude.

"The Queen is so generous! I will definitely decide on the best. As for the imperial court's wish to do whatever it wants, I, the Tushan clan, do not only have the Chen Dynasty as my only choice. Yuan Changli's envoys have been sent to Jingzhou in a steady stream!" Zhong Rouxuan's face

It's close to freezing point.

"Shut up!" Zhong Jue couldn't help it after all. He didn't want to worry about it at first. He thought there was nothing wrong with an argument between his sisters, but Zhong Rouxuan had already said that they wanted to break up, so he couldn't let them continue.

Already.

"How unbecoming! It's all a family working together, how can you say such stupid things? You are the eldest sister and you should behave like an eldest sister!"

"Father, I was forced. All the disciples of the Tushan clan are eyeing our eldest son. What's wrong with me doing this to protect my interests?" Zhong Rouxuan's aura was obviously much weaker after hearing Zhong Jue's words.

He was facing his father.

Zhong Jue frowned and said nothing. He walked up to Zhong Roulan and scolded: "If you want to seize Xizhou, should you say hello to your eldest sister? Am I spoiling you too much?"

Zhong Roulan still wanted to argue, but Zhong Jue gave her a look to shut up. Zhong Roulan turned her head angrily.

Zhong Jue suddenly knelt down in front of Zhong Rouning and gave a big salute, which shocked both Zhong Rouxuan and Zhong Rouning. Zhong Rouxuan hurried forward to help her, but she couldn't help him. Zhong Rouning was even more

He didn't dare to accept the courtesy, so he quickly knelt down and lowered his head.

"Empress, do you really want your elder sister and younger sister to obey you? You consider your Majesty wholeheartedly, has your Majesty ever thought about you? If your Majesty thinks that I have to obey you, today I, Zhong Jue, swear

Whether you die or die in the future, it will have nothing to do with you!" Zhong Jue said every word with heartache. This second daughter was the one that made him the most distressed. The reason he fully supported Xiao Huli that day was just for the future of the Zhong family. He didn't expect that the one he valued most was the one who hurt him the most.

The daughter helped her in. Fortunately, the younger daughter understood, otherwise she would have been angry to death. So what if she was a queen? If there is no heir, the outcome may not be better than that of the Gu family.

"Father, you'd better get up first. My daughter realizes her mistake!" Zhong Rouning didn't feel that she was wrong, but she just felt that it was not the best solution for her father to kneel like this.

"Is it okay for the Queen to give me an accurate word?" Zhong Jue refused stubbornly. She knew that Zhong Rouning was coaxing him. Today, as a father, she must let the three sisters have an outcome.

Zhong Rouning let go of her hand and said helplessly: "Father, whatever promise you want me to make, you say I will definitely make it!"

"Since the empress has promised, the old minister has the audacity to say that Xiao Yu and Meng Yan are unreliable. You have no children. What will you do in the future? The most important thing for you now is to recruit concubines for His Majesty. After you have a prince, your position will be

To be on the safe side, sister, can you just turn a blind eye to my sister's matter?" Zhong Jue said firmly.

"Father, I promise you, but it's not that much, right?" Zhong Rouning felt that Zhong Jue was a little uneasy, but he didn't think that Meng Yan and Xiao Yu were Xiao Huli's opponents. It should be said that she didn't think that Meng Yan and Xiao Yu were Xiao Huli's opponents from the beginning.

Two people can make a difference.

"Okay! Thank you, Queen!" Zhong Jue stood up with Zhong Rouxuan's support. No matter what Zhong Rouning was thinking, since she had made a promise, she would not break it too much, so she patted the back of Zhong Rouxuan's hand and said

: "Boss, the one that my family owes the most is you. I am not unaware of your difficulties in the Tushan clan, but my family has not given you much help. It is your hard work that you have been able to break out of this field, but there are some

It's better to communicate with your family at this time. Do you think Meng Yan's promise is safe?"

"Father," Zhong Rouxuan said with tears running down her cheeks, "I voluntarily gave up the fight for Jiangxia and Qizhou, and he just gave me the promise. Meng Yan cherishes his reputation, and the promise should be effective." Zhong Rouxuan said.
