Summary of the previous chapter: Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo suddenly issued an order to summon Li Qinghan to the palace, but Li Qinghan was unwilling...
Two days later, Mrs. Ma asked Li Qinghan, but Li Qinghan still insisted on his own idea and would not enter the palace.
Mrs. Ma is also a woman, and as a first-class wife of the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. Ma has more or less sources of information in the court.
Emperor Taichang stayed in court every day and played songs every night, and did not listen to anyone's advice at all. Judging from Mrs. Ma's experience, Emperor Taichang will definitely die if he continues like this, but... the emperor has issued an order,
Is it because Li Qinghan is unwilling to resist the order? This will lead to beheading...
Seeing Li Qinghan crying, Mrs. Ma was in trouble again.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and said: "Grandma, actually I discussed this matter with my sister-in-law two days ago."
"Oh? Have you discussed it?" Mrs. Ma looked at Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan choked and nodded.
"How did you discuss it?"
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "I will ask my sister-in-law to marry me, and this matter will be solved."
"This... nonsense!" Mrs. Ma slapped the table and said helplessly, "Quan'er, Qinghan is your sister-in-law, why do you have such evil thoughts?"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, glanced at Li Qinghan secretly, and found a jealous look on his face. It seemed that the anger from the previous two days had not completely subsided.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Grandma, you have all misunderstood me. I only did this to save my sister-in-law. As for whether I will really become a couple with her, I have not thought about it at all."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ma pondered for a moment and said, "Well, what Quan'er said is a good idea... But... Quan'er, do you think the emperor will let it go?"
?”
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "With the emperor's lustful nature, it might be difficult... So, grandma, I want to live with my sister-in-law temporarily."
When Li Qinghan heard this, he refused: "Ma Xiaoquan, to put it bluntly, you just want to take advantage of me, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and thought to himself, if I wanted to take advantage of you, I would have already taken advantage of you. Why would I say it in front of my grandma?
Mrs. Ma stretched out her hand and stopped her: "Qinghan, listen to what Quan'er has to say."
"Huh?" Li Qinghan rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan and said nothing.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "What I said about living together is actually just a public announcement. Grandma, you can prepare a big room. On the surface, my sister-in-law and I go in and out of the same room together. In reality, we live in separate places.
Each person sleeps in his own room..."
Mrs. Ma nodded: "Well, this method is not bad."
Li Qinghan objected: "No! Ma Xiaoquan is a pervert, grandma, I don't believe he can keep his duties."
Mrs. Ma was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Qinghan, would you like to think about it again?"
Li Qinghan shook his head vigorously: "Grandma, don't think about it anymore. If you insist on letting me go to the palace, then I will have to shave my head..." After Li Qinghan finished speaking, he turned around and left in anger.
"Hey" Mrs. Ma shook her head, watched Li Qinghan leave, and sighed a few more times.
Ma Xiaoquan was very puzzled. He stepped forward and asked Mrs. Ma: "Grandma, why is my sister-in-law so opposed to living with me? I remember I didn't make a mistake, right?"
Mrs. Ma gave a wry smile, and seeing no one around, she changed her words and said, "Hey, my first-generation head of the family, you don't know something. You didn't make any mistakes, but the previous Quan'er made a lot of mistakes.
...Well, for example... My wife knows that Quan'er has peeked at Qinghan several times, when she was changing clothes, when she was taking a shower, and even when Luohong was menstruating.
, all..."
"Fuck" Ma Xiaoquan cursed, "No wonder she is so opposed to it. She has a criminal record after being in trouble for a long time. Hey, I'm depressed. How did I end up in such a bad thing..."
Mrs. Ma looked apologetic: "First-generation head of the family, why don't you think again and see if there is any other way. To be honest, I really don't want to see Qinghan go to the palace and suffer, let alone Qinghan shave his head.
, I will be with Qingdeng for the rest of my life..."
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Grandma, if I said that the emperor will not live for two months, would you believe me?"
Madam Ma was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I believe it!"
"Okay, grandma, since you believe me, then grandma must cooperate with me. My purpose is very simple, just one word!"
"drag?"
"Yes, drag, drag the emperor down with you, we just need to wait for the emperor to die..."
Mrs. Ma thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "Quan'er, even if the emperor dies, the imperial edict has already been issued, Qinghan still has to enter the palace..."
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "Enter the palace? That's not certain. Who doesn't know what will happen next? Anyway, grandma, you have to cooperate with me, hold on!"
Mrs. Ma said humbly: "Okay, since the first-generation head of the family has spoken, I, Ma Yang, will cooperate with anything you say!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll ask grandma to persuade her."
Mrs. Ma said: "Okay"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, and just as he was about to go back to the room, Mrs. Ma suddenly said: "First-generation head of the family, I have a question for you?"
"Eh? Grandma, can you ask me anything?"
"Have you really considered marrying Qinghan?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned when he heard this.
Mrs. Ma saw that Ma Xiaoquan was silent and sighed: "Hey, the first generation head of the family must have thought that Qinghan was a widow and looked down on her..."
Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, grandma, I never thought about it that way..."
"Oh, that's good, but my old lady won't force it. Hey, if there is a good family, Qinghan still has the right to pursue his own happiness..." Mrs. Ma said, shaking her head and going back to the room.
Ma Xiaoquan took a long breath, looked at Mrs. Ma's retreating figure, and smiled softly: "I have already had too many experiences, I can't have too many worries anymore... Haha
..."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan turned around and prepared to go back to his room.
But when he turned around, his sister-in-law Li Qinghan was actually standing behind Ma Xiaoquan, staring at Ma Xiaoquan suspiciously.
"Sister-in-law? You...when did you show up?"
Li Qinghan did not answer Ma Xiaoquan's question, but stared at Ma Xiaoquan with her big, watery eyes.
