Three hundred and ninetieth chapters recognize relatives
The news about Prince Zhongshun's adoption of his adopted daughter came out along with the invitation.
Naturally, the Prince's Palace in Beijing also received the invitation.
The concubine called Shui Rong over: "Now that the matter has been settled, don't do anything. After all, King Zhongshun is the emperor's biological brother. Can he still watch his biological brother being suppressed by you?"
Shui Rong sighed and said: "Grandma, my grandson doesn't want to go against King Zhongshun, but he has taken all the good things. What should the others do? The emperor doesn't like the four princes and eight princes, and he won't send good errands to him.
Everyone, every family is having a hard time now. If you can’t find a way to breathe a sigh of relief, you will really lose.”
Concubine Beijing also sighed helplessly. She knew that water dissolution was right, but water dissolution alone could not solve these problems at all.
The emperor only valued talent and learning, not family background. Wang Tingxuan is a good example.
"Rong'er, no matter how capable An Minhou is, can you guarantee that he will help you willingly? Look at how King Zhongshun treats him. They are not even willing to give up their legitimate daughter. How can Anmin Hou be willing to help you?
.”
In fact, it is not that serious. Among the four princes and eight princes, there are not many who are suitable for Wang Tingxuan, and a few are already engaged. The rest are planned to be left to the prince.
They made a wrong bet once, didn't learn from it, and planned to bet again.
The prince and Wang Tingxuan are about the same age, and they will soon be of age to choose the princess.
The Crown Princess is much stronger than the Marquis Anmin.
After the prince is born, the princes below will also come of age one after another.
The current emperor does not have many sons, only three. Unlike the Supreme Emperor, who has more than a dozen princes, the princes' ages are not much different.
If there are too many options, it is easy to choose the wrong one; if there are too few options, the probability of choosing the right one is high.
The emperor only has three sons, and one of them is crowned prince.
Compared to the Emperor Taishang period, this is a question of sending points.
Can the four bastards not be tempted?
Shui Rong said: "My grandson understands."
Looking at Shui Rong's expression, the concubine knew that he still didn't understand, and said: "No, you don't understand. Even if the emperor trusts King Zhongshun again, it is impossible to leave everything to him. When the emperor feels that the power in his hands is too great,
When I grow up, I won’t trust him as much as I do now.”
What Concubine Beijing said is indeed true.
But she forgot that even if the emperor did not hand over power to King Zhongshun, would he definitely hand it over to the four princes and eight princes?
The emperor was slowly thinking of ways to expel and replace those ministers who were not loyal enough. He looked around the entire court and found out how many of them were besides the four princes and eight princes who were die-hard loyalists.
If the Supreme Emperor were not still here, the Emperor would have replaced these people.
It's not that the emperor is unwilling to use people like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, Prince Xiang Nan'an and Wang Ziteng, but the emperor has not completely let them go idle.
It's just that the next generation of the four bastards really doesn't have much talent.
It's not right to say that there are no talents. If you search carefully, you can still find some talents. It's just that those people are not valued in their own country and have no opportunity to display their talents.
The emperor can't fight with others for the sake of their unappreciated children.
Princess Beijing temporarily persuaded the Prince of Beijing, and Shui Rong had no other good solution, so he could only persuade others not to take any other actions for the time being.
As a result, the marriage recognition meeting held by Prince Zhongshun was very successful, and it reached its climax after the emperor bestowed the title of Lord of Yi'an County.
The only one who was unhappy was Jia Mu, who remained silent throughout the banquet. As soon as the banquet was over, she left with the daughter of the Jia family.
Unexpectedly, she was not told about the Lin family's marriage recognition, and no one told her about the Lin family's title. Listening to the congratulatory words of those at the banquet, Jia Mu only felt that they were laughing at herself.
Of course, what made Jia Mu even more embarrassed was the news that came in the evening.
The Supreme Emperor granted marriage to the Lord of Yi'an County and the Marquis of Anmin.
When she returned home, Jia's mother also considered letting Baoyu get engaged to the Lin family. As for her thoughts with the Xue family, she didn't care at all. The Xue family lived in Jia's house, so was it difficult to do something about it?
But who knew, before she could figure out what to do, the Supreme Emperor's imperial edict gave her another fatal blow.
Originally, this imperial edict was supposed to be a marriage grant from the emperor, and it was sent to Prince Zhongshun's palace together with the imperial edict to confer the title of Lord of Yi'an County.
However, the Supreme Emperor suddenly felt that he owed Lin Ruhai, so he told the Emperor that he wanted to grant a marriage.
The emperor did not argue with the Supreme Emperor over this trivial matter.
Only then did the Emperor's order come to the Lin family.
As for not going down to King Zhongshun's house, it was because the Supreme Emperor couldn't stand King Zhongshun's pride.
Not only did Jia Mu regret it, but Mrs. Wang also regretted it. If she had known that the Lin family had such ability, why would she have done so many things.
This is the title of the county lord. Although it is inferior to the princess, she does not dislike it.
But compared to these thoughts, there is another headache that needs to be dealt with by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
The news of Lin Daiyu's engagement spread in the Jia family, and was overheard by Jia Baoyu. Baoyu was immediately stunned.
The maids did not dare to hide it and immediately reported to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang.
Jia Mu came to Jia Baoyu's courtyard crying.
Hearing Jia Mu's cry, Jia Baoyu woke up from her daze and immediately begged: "Old lady, didn't you say you wanted Sister Lin to be with me? Why did Sister Lin get engaged to someone else? I don't want Lin."
My sister is getting engaged, could you please bring Sister Lin over?"
In this case, how could Mother Jia dare to agree? This marriage was agreed to by both saints. How could she dare to object? She didn't even dare to think about it.
Jia's mother hugged Jia Baoyu and cried again. This time she was really sad and said, "My Baoyu, it's too late now. The Supreme Emperor has already granted marriage. You and Yu'er can only be said to be destined to have no connection."
"Old lady, you have a solution, right? I can ask my sister to speak in front of the emperor. Can you take me to my sister?"
Mrs. Wang stood at the door with a gloomy face, her newly developed goodwill towards the Lin family gone.
"Baoyu, don't talk nonsense." Wang said quickly, wishing she could sew Jia Baoyu's mouth shut.
Because Mrs. Wang was angry, her expression and tone were very ferocious. Jia Baoyu was so frightened that she hid in Jia Mu's arms and did not dare to speak.
Although Mrs. Jia was dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's tone towards her precious grandson, she did not reprimand Mrs. Wang.
Only in this way can Jia Baoyu stop messing around.
Jia's mother comforted Jia Baoyu and said, "Your sister Lin is engaged. Don't say anything like this in the future. I'll send someone to pick up Yun'er and come over to play with you. How about that?"
Baoyu had a selfish admiration for Lin Daiyu and was secretly attracted to her. However, since Lin Daiyu returned to Yangzhou, he had no chance to talk to her properly and could not see Lin Daiyu.
Jia Baoyu was not discouraged. He knew that Jia Mu loved him the most and would definitely fulfill his wish.
The reason why he couldn't see Lin Daiyu was because Uncle Lin blocked them from meeting.
Jia Mu promised that she would definitely let Lin Daiyu come to play with him at home.
There is nothing that Jia Mu promised that cannot be accomplished.
But no matter how stupid he is, he still knows the meaning of the marriage. He will never see Sister Lin again.
He was unwilling to do so, but he had no choice.
Hearing Jia Mu talk about Shi Xiangyun, he nodded, fearing that this sister would stay away from him like Sister Lin.
"Ancestor, please quickly take Sister Yun over and don't let her leave again."
