"Does Grandma think Prince Qi's son is marryable?" Yu Xijiao paused.
"Feng Yu... is quite a good one..." An and the eldest princess slowly withdrew their gaze and once again fell on their little granddaughter. Feng Yu couldn't get into her eyes at first, but she didn't expect that he could persuade her.
.
Thinking about what he said to her at that time, An and the eldest princess fell silent again. She didn't know where to start with some words, but she wanted to hear her granddaughter's own thoughts.
"Grandma, since the prince of Qi is a good son, I will marry him." Yu Xijiao said calmly, as if she was not talking about her own marriage.
"What he has in mind...is not trivial." An and the eldest princess whispered.
"Grandma, what do you think...?" Yu Xijiao was shocked and pointed in the direction of the palace, "Do you think the affairs of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion... are only their own business?"
The last sentence was as low as a mosquito's whisper.
Princess An and the eldest princess pursed their lips, their eyes were extremely deep, as if there were thousands of words to say, but they seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Grandma, don't worry. The Crown Prince of Qi will definitely be the Crown Prince of Qi, and he may have a worry-free life." Yu Xijiao suddenly smiled, "If I don't marry the Crown Prince of Qi, who else do you think I can marry now?"
Although An and the eldest princess were persuaded by Feng Yu before, they were still hesitant and never expressed their stance directly. Now that Yu Ruiwen has made such a fuss, the matter is basically settled.
"In the future...if there is a chance, I will go to Qidi early." Princess An and the eldest princess sighed and covered their chests with their hands. This matter may not be as bad as they imagined.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll be fine." Yu Xi comforted her in a soft voice. It was obvious that grandma today was very upset.
Prince Qi's words initially surprised Princess An and the eldest daughter, who stretched out her cold fingers to hold her granddaughter's fingers: "Prince Qi was once the most beloved son of the Queen Mother. Many people thought that the late emperor would pass the throne to Prince Qi.
But in the end something happened to King Qi and he became lame, and Princess Qi almost died in the fire, and then the throne was lost to King Qi."
Princess An and the eldest daughter spoke eloquently, with a bit of sarcasm in their eyes: "It is said that the Queen Mother dotes on her youngest son the most, but when the accident happened to this little son, he was in the palace, and he was still her youngest son and daughter-in-law.
Princess Qi passed away not long after she left for Qi, leaving only the crown prince of Qi as her legitimate son."
An and the eldest princess didn't know much about what happened back then, but there were a lot of secret rumors, and An and the eldest princess also heard a lot.
For so many years, she had lived alone without emotion. In addition to thinking about her own affairs, she would occasionally think about royal matters...
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll be fine." Grandma was so unusual today, with worry in her eyes from time to time. Yu Xijiao knew it was for her own sake, and said with a smile like a flower.
"That father of yours is really useless. He didn't handle the matter early. He even went to the emperor and even agreed to the matter. He really made a face in front of the emperor." An and the eldest princess looked at it.
The little granddaughter's charming face made her feel sad and pitiful, and she couldn't help but direct all her anger at her son.
My son has been dissatisfied for a long time. He was obviously not this stupid when he was young.
"Grandma, Xin Kangbo Mansion is plotting against us. If my father hadn't done this, I'm afraid my reputation would be damaged even more in the future." Yu Xi comforted An and the eldest princess in a soft voice.
"Really willing to marry Prince Qi?" Princess An and the eldest daughter looked at Yu Xijiao solemnly.
"Grandma, I do." Yu Xijiao smiled and raised her eyes without hesitation.
"Minghe Chu has been thinking about Prince Qi. If you don't want to, you can use her to escape." Princess An and the eldest daughter were afraid that Yu Xijiao would think she had no choice, so she added.
"Grandma, I do." Yu Xijiao said again.
Seeing her like this, An and the eldest princess nodded: "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember that you still have your grandmother. As long as your grandmother is here, she will protect you, but don't... don't push your grandmother away...
…”
When Princess An and the eldest daughter spoke at the end, their voices were filled with sadness. At first, that child resisted everything by herself and said nothing. Only when she was helpless did she think of herself, but she was already helpless.
Yu Xijiao responded obediently: "Grandma, I will do it. Don't worry, grandma, I will be fine, and so will Prince Qi!"
"Okay, okay, nothing will happen to you." Princess An and the eldest princess said with red eyes. They all said that she had been tough in her life, but who could have imagined how sad and miserable she felt alone at night...
Zhao An was holding a book and seemed to be studying seriously. Only he knew that he could not read this book.
He was so upset that he couldn't read the book properly. He took out the note in his hand and looked at the words on it. The words were very neat and he couldn't tell who wrote them. But he must have read the book after all. He always felt that the words looked...
It's a little softer, like a woman's handwriting. Who else in this house knows about her?
Mrs. Xuanpinghou has been locked up. I heard that the courtyard gate has been sealed, leaving only a small door, which is still guarded. This Mrs. Xuanpinghou must have really been locked up.
The original plot was by Mrs. Xuanpinghou. It was clear that this lady had been locked up, but when he was at the city gate, he was still stopped by someone to arrange the follow-up matters. Now, another note appeared, pretending to be sick that day.
, which is also what the note ordered. Who else in this mansion is watching over me?
Is it the second girl?
Zhao An has never met the second girl in the mansion until now. He only knows that this second girl is the biological daughter of Mrs. Xuanpinghou and the future concubine of Prince Duan. No matter where she is placed, this identity is not something that others can guess at will.
of.
Is it possible that Mrs. Xuanpinghou, with her powerful eyes and hands, could still mobilize people secretly even if she was imprisoned?
Thinking this way, it makes sense. Apart from Mrs. Xuanpinghou, Zhao An really doesn't know who else knows his whereabouts.
He had been forced to leave his hometown, and now he had arranged everything he wanted to do, almost at the palm of his hand. No matter how bold Zhao An was, he would not have any ideas at this time.
"Sir, Mrs. Zhou is here." A boy came in to report.
This boy is from the Xuanping Mansion. He is the only one who comes to the Xuanpinghou Mansion. Could this boy be arranged by Mrs. Xuanpinghou? Zhao An doesn’t quite understand, but he always behaves very positively in front of the boy.
.
"Please come in, cousin." Zhao An said feebly. Thinking of what the doctor said when he was pretending to be sick, almost everything this doctor said came to his heart.
The reason why he fainted was revealed.
But later the doctor said something different. It sounded more like he was pretending. Fortunately, Zhao An had been prepared. Since the doctor said this, he was not very energetic. He ate a lot less and was in low spirits.
Mrs. Zhou hurried over to see Zhao An while Yu Ruiwen was sleeping. There were many things going on in the house, and Yu Ruiwen was injured, so she was so busy that she almost started running.
"Cousin, are you okay?" Mrs. Zhou asked as soon as she entered the door.
"I'm fine, cousin, don't worry." Zhao An coughed softly and said feebly. Hearing this voice, he felt that his health was not as good as he said.
"If my cousin feels unwell, please ask the doctor to come in and prescribe some medicine to relieve the pain." Mrs. Zhou sat down in the main seat and frowned, "My cousin must have been in a hurry all the way to Beijing, right?
"
"It's not easy to sleep in the open and go out anywhere." Zhao An sighed, and then smiled, "How is the Marquis? Is it okay?"
"There is nothing serious about Mr. Marquis. You need to take good care of him now," Mrs. Zhou said.
Zhao An said: "That's good, that's good, it's nothing serious." Zhao An said repeatedly, with a look of joy on his face, "Master Hou is fine, and my cousin will be fine."
It turned out that it was for herself. Mrs. Zhou's eyes showed some gratitude. She had suspected that her cousin was faking it before, but looking at his condition, she didn't think it was like it. Besides, her cousin was not feeling well. The doctor said that he had self-inflicted wounds.
I have never been out of Xuanpinghou Mansion, and I don’t know the doctors in the capital.
One doctor said that my health was very bad, and the other said that my health was fine and that there was nothing serious.
For the sake of her cousin's safety, Mrs. Zhou felt more willing to believe what the previous doctor said. Maybe it was some intractable disease that made her cousin's health so poor.
"Cousin, don't worry, I'll be fine. You should be careful yourself. It's such a long walk from our home to the capital. My cousin may have been seriously injured along the way. My father's health was also fine.
I didn't expect that after going all the way to Beijing, I would..." Mrs. Zhou thought of her father and felt sad for a moment.
If possible, she would never go to Beijing with her father. If she had not gone to Beijing, her father might have been fine and would not have ended up like this.
In his original hometown, my father still had a few acres of thin farmland, and it was quite possible to support both father and daughter.
"What my cousin said is, cousin, I will be careful about my health. Thank you very much, cousin." Zhao An stood up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Cousin, we are all relatives, there is no need to be so polite." Mrs. Zhou said.
"Cousin." Zhao An sat down and hesitated, "There is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Cousin, please speak." Mrs. Zhou said with a serious face.
"Uncle, did you have a recipe for recuperating your body back then?" Zhao An thought for a while and asked.
"Some of my father's old things were packed together at that time. If my cousin wants to find it, I will ask the maid to bring it to you tomorrow." Mrs. Zhou said. She couldn't remember the prescription for recuperating her body at the moment.
When her father ended up like that, she couldn't keep any of her father's things. Fortunately, the Marquis took pity and packed up all these things for her and then returned them to her. Now they are all in the hands of Mrs. Zhou, but Mrs. Zhou
I usually don't want to look at it. The more I look at it, the sadder it becomes, and the more I look at it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
"Then I'll help my cousin, but can we do it today? I may have to tidy it up. I happen to have nothing to do, so I should tidy it up for my uncle." Zhao An said with a happy face.
"Okay, I'll send someone over in a minute." It's certainly a good thing to have someone help you organize it, Mrs. Zhou said quickly.
It was decided in two moments that the maid would send over Mrs. Zhou's biological father's belongings for Zhao An to sort out. In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Zhou didn't keep any of them. Although she didn't doubt her cousin, she believed in the third girl. After that, she
Leave with people.
Behind her, Zhao An's eyes were darkened, and the corners of his lips were taunting. There was an important thing among his uncle's relics that he must get during this trip...
