Summary of the previous chapter: Qiao Yu still knew Ma Xiaoquan’s true identity, but Ma Xiaoquan did not continue to conceal it deliberately...
Qiao Yu pouted and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Tell me, how old are you? Is it really more than a thousand, oh no, more than two thousand years old?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged and asked Qiao Yu, "What do you think?"
Qiao Yu circled around Ma Xiaoquan three times and said, "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you. You are only twenty-four or five-year-old at most..."
"Twenty-four-five? Isn't that too young?" Ma Xiaoquan secretly laughed in his heart. His real age was actually twenty-seven years old. Qiao Yu estimated that twenty-four-five was about the same.
"Well, then it's twenty-six or seven at most," Qiao Yu nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, neither denying nor affirming, but in the end he still said truthfully: "My real age is really twenty-seven. Well, are you satisfied now?"
Qiao Yu made a sound and rolled his eyes twice: "So, you and Sister Qinghan are about the same age. Yeah, you are older than me."
Ma Xiaoquan joked: "Yes, then do you have to call me Brother Ma?"
"Go, go, go, no matter how big or small." Qiao Yu was unconvinced, "Ma Xiaoquan, if you really came from that era you mentioned, wouldn't it be a long, long time later than us? Humph, I won't let you call me
My ancestors and grandma are all pretty good.”
Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands: "Yes, yes, I think I'd better continue to call you second sister-in-law."
Qiao Yu raised her head proudly: "That's pretty much it."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, since you have recognized me, can I marry Qinghan?"
Qiao Yu shook his head: "It still doesn't work."
"Still not working? Why? I'm not your fourth brother-in-law."
Qiao Yu sighed: "Although this is the case, what is your current identity? Are you the fourth young master of my Ma family? This is something that cannot be changed, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan said disapprovingly: "So what, can't the brother-in-law marry his sister-in-law?"
"It's not impossible, it's just..." Qiao Yu said worriedly, "Sister Qinghan was accused by the late emperor Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Youxiao's father had conferred the title of concubine. Although the emperor accused Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao of abolishing it,
The concubines already included in the register will be included in the palace register regardless of whether they are good or bad. This is firstly a proof, and secondly, it is also used as evidence for inspection and subsequent series of canonizations. Ma Xiaoquan, what you do is equivalent to sharing a woman with the emperor.
This is treasonous."
"This..." Qiao Yu said this, and then Ma Xiaoquan remembered that there was such a difficult thing.
Bei Mingxue came up and interjected: "Ma Xiaoquan, aren't you a Jinyiwei? You can find a way to get that booklet and cross out Sister Qinghan's name."
"Cross it out?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
If he could cross it out, Ma Xiaoquan would have done so a long time ago, but unfortunately, the emperor's daily life and the concubine's bedtime are all overseen and recorded by a dedicated eunuch, and the whole process is very strict, and there are also
According to the imperial edict set by the emperor long ago: except for the eunuchs who manage the emperor's daily life, no one else can touch the emperor's life records. Anyone who dares to violate it will be punished by the Ten Clan.
The ten tribes are based on the nine tribes and include friends. This damaging move was made by none other than Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang himself and executed it.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's silence, Bei Mingxue thought she had hit the point, and shook her head proudly: "How about it, my idea is a good one, isn't it?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyes and glanced at Bei Mingxue, and sneered: "Not bad? Beiming girl, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Go and cool off."
"You?" Bei Mingxue pouted and grabbed Qiao Yu's arm, "Sister Qiao Yu, second sister-in-law, look at Ma Xiaoquan, look at him..."
Qiao Yu shook his head and smiled slightly, comforting Bei Mingxue and said: "Sister Bei Ming, what you said about crossing out the name is simply impossible to implement."
"Why?"
Qiao Yu shook his head: "The details are very complicated. I will explain it to you carefully when I have time."
"Oh, okay then"
Qiao Yu nodded, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, that's why I say that marrying Qinghan is not a simple matter... Furthermore, if you really want to marry Qinghan, you have to go with Qinghan.
Traveling to Liaodong, Qinghan's relatives are all there. Although the Li family is not a big family now, it will definitely be difficult for you to pass the Li family's test."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed. He wanted to say that I was planning to go now. Unexpectedly, Li Qinghan suddenly stood up and said, "Don't worry about the wedding."
"Qinghan, you?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Li Qinghan in surprise.
Li Qinghan shook his head and showed a bitter smile: "Ma Xiaoquan, thank you for caring about me so much, but don't forget that you are now the pillar of the Ma family. The rise of the Ma family needs you. I don't want you to sacrifice your life for me.
Put aside the future of the Ma family, if you really want to do this, I would rather commit suicide than marry you."
"Qinghan, why are you doing this?"
Li Qinghan shook his head again: "I am a hard-working woman, but after meeting you, Ma Xiaoquan, I feel so happy. It doesn't matter if I don't have a status. As long as I stay with you, I can do anything."
, Furthermore, I always feel that I have known you for a long time, as if I have known you for more than a thousand years."
"Qinghan" Ma Xiaoquan was moved in his heart and stepped forward to hug Li Qinghan tightly into his arms.
After knowing each other for more than a thousand years, Ma Xiaoquan has felt this way many times, especially now that he is holding Li Qinghan, this feeling is even stronger.
At this time, Bei Mingxue stepped forward and interjected: "Sister Qinghan, if not, you and Ma Xiaoquan will have a baby first, and the status and other matters will be settled later."
Li Qinghan blushed and buried his head in Ma Xiaoquan's arms.
Ma Xiaoquan snorted and nodded: "Eh? That's a good idea, little girl from Beiming."
"That's not bad!" Qiao Yu pulled Li Qinghan out of Ma Xiaoquan's arms, "What are you thinking? If this spreads out, where will your father and mother's faces be shown? Don't give it to me, you two.
Did you do something outrageous?"
Bei Mingxue said again: "Second sister-in-law, actually... in fact, they have already done it."
"What?" Qiao Yu was stunned and quickly rolled up Li Qinghan's sleeves to check.
