Chapter 16 Some things have to be fought for by oneself
Latest website:
In order to get rid of the idea of letting Shi Fuyin become his concubine, Xiao Ziqing ran to Shoukang Palace every day after the flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden. He entered the palace before dawn in the morning and left the palace after dark at night.
Seeing Xiao Ziqing's resolute attitude, the Queen Mother hesitated.
Ziqing couldn't bear Shi Fuyin to be a concubine, and if he really wanted to force Shi Fuyin to become a concubine, Ziqing would definitely favor her in the future. Doting on concubines and destroying wives is the source of chaos in the family, and the Qingguo Duke's Palace, where everyone is slaughtered, is the best choice.
example of.
Furthermore, Shi Fuyin is not willing to be a concubine. If she is allowed to enter Anguo Mansion unwillingly, who knows whether trouble will arise if Ziqing prefers her.
She wanted to give Xiahou Huanyan and Shi Fuyin to Ziqing at the same time, in order to make Ziqing happy. With the company of his noble wife and concubine, Ziqing would not be lonely even if she left in the future.
But now Ziqing doesn't want to do it, and neither does the girl of the Shi family. Even Xiahou Huanyan looks unhappy.
After all, this finger-marriage was her wishful thinking.
The Empress Dowager sighed. If she is gone, Duke Anguo's mansion will have no one to rely on.
Ziqing also understood this.
She was very pleased that between her sweetheart and the burden of the family, Ziqing chose to shoulder the responsibility of the family.
But when she thought of Ziqing's rough fate, the Empress Dowager felt pity for him.
Ziqing likes the girl from the Shi family, is it possible that he really wants to lose his love?
Why.
While hesitating, the Empress Dowager did not immediately give the marriage decree.
Due to the large number of people watching over the palace's personnel affairs and the complexity of the political parties, once something happens, it will be easily spread.
Although Duke Dingguo's Mansion and Wuchang Bo's Mansion were both tight-lipped about what happened at the Flower Appreciation Banquet in the Imperial Garden, it was finally revealed that the Empress Dowager wanted to point out Shi Fuyin to Duke An Guo as a concubine.
Everyone had speculated about this matter, and it was not a surprise. But what shocked people was that Shi Funin dared to contradict the Empress Dowager and reject the Empress Dowager's marriage proposal!
As soon as the news came out, the female members of the Shi family immediately became a presence that everyone avoided, and all social gatherings were stopped.
In Yixiang Hall, all the female relatives of the Shi family gathered together.
Mrs. Shi looked a little tired because she hadn't slept well. Mrs. Shi's daughters-in-law also looked worried, Jin Yue'e being the most worried. The girls in the Shi family were also a little restless.
If a strange woman is born in a family, other women in the family will also be ostracized by the world.
Shi Fuyin dared to contradict the Empress Dowager and had such a rebellious temperament. How did the elders of the Shi family teach her? Did the other girls of the Shi family follow her example?
"Sister Yin knows that she has caused a big disaster and has brought trouble to the family, so she still asks her grandmother to punish her!"
Shi Funin didn't expect that the news would come out, so she walked to the center of the lobby and knelt down with a guilty look on her face.
Mrs. Shi didn't say anything, Jin Yue'e looked worried, while the first lady of the Shi family, the fifth lady of the Shi family, and the seventh lady of the Shi family all had complicated expressions.
After the fourth brother (fourth uncle) and his family came back, the situation at home has indeed improved a lot, there is no doubt about this.
The four children of the fourth brother (fourth uncle) are all undeniably outstanding and have added a lot of glory to the house. However, the four children are equally capable of causing trouble.
Last time, Wulang got involved in the death of the young prince, which made the palace uneasy for a long time; now, Sister Yin has contradicted the Empress Dowager again.
Who is the Empress Dowager? She is someone even the emperor dare not disobey!
Sister Yin usually seems to be quite well-behaved and sensible, but how can she be so courageous?!
Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi all looked at Mrs. Shi, with unmistakable worry on their faces.
All three of them have children. Once the incident of Sister Yin contradicting the Empress Dowager comes out, the marriages of the children in the family may be affected.
When Mrs. Shi saw the expressions on everyone's faces, she felt helpless.
Credit is credit, and no one can deny the contribution of the second son's family to the house, but trouble is trouble. If Sister Yin is not punished this time, and other juniors in the house will go out and talk nonsense in the future, then the family will be close to collapse.
Not far away.
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel!"
Shi Fuyin got up and went to the ancestral hall without saying a word.
Shi Fuxin thought for a while and quickly chased after him.
When Shi Fuyin saw her younger sister following her into the ancestral hall, she quickly explained: "Sister Xin, this incident happened because of me. It is right for my grandmother to punish me by kneeling in the ancestral hall. Don't fight for me."
Shi Fuxin quickly told Shi Fuyin what Aunt Leng had told her before, about the Empress Dowager’s emphasis on the Xiao family’s bloodline: “Sister, I didn’t want to tell you about this originally, because I don’t really agree with it.
.”
"Come on, if I use Granny Leng's method and you really marry Xiao Ziqing, you will have to have children, and you will have to have several more. I don't want you to suffer."
"Secondly, if we really do this, Sister Xiahou may suffer some harm."
"So I just thought, we don't have to do anything, let's just rely on God's fate. Anyway, you don't have to be Xiao Ziqing. Even if the Queen Mother proposes marriage to Xiao Ziqing and Xia Hou Huanyan in the end, it won't be a big deal."
"But now, the news that you were accused of being Xiao Ziqing's concubine has spread to everyone, and you have also contradicted the Empress Dowager. Who dares to marry you?"
"Even if someone dares to marry you, he probably has some hidden agenda."
"So, we can't just sit back and wait for God to arrange it. I've already made inquiries."
Although she didn't quite agree with Aunt Leng's method, Shi Fuxin still made two preparations and found out everything that needed to be done in advance.
"The Empress Dowager is not very close to all the princes and grandchildren, but she is different from Princess Qingyang. Princess Qingyang is the first daughter of the late Emperor and is said to be a descendant of the Xiao family, so the Empress Dowager
Treat her as a friendly person and often ask her to come into the palace to talk to her."
"Princess Qingyang is living a smooth life because she is protected by the Empress Dowager. However, this princess is also troubled. She only has one daughter, and she was named Princess Yongshou by the emperor."
"Princess Yongshou has been married for more than ten years, but she has no children."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As for me, I prepared a birth pill for my sister, and then I will secretly find someone to spread the news to Princess Yongshou. Princess Yongshou is determined to have children.
, she will definitely come to you to ask for birth control pills."
"If Princess Yongshou asks you how you got the Shengzi Pill, just tell her that when we were in the northwest, you went into the Tianshan Mountains to collect medicine and accidentally fell into an ice pool. At the time of crisis, you were trapped by an old man with white hair and a childish face.
I rescued you and gave you three pills."
"One of them cured your palace cold. Later, my mother thought it was not safe and made you take another one. Now there is only one left in the house."
"If Princess Yongshou is pregnant, the Queen Mother will definitely know about it."
Shi Fuyin stared blankly at her sister who had arranged everything. After a while, she finally found her voice: "The Xiao family wants to have more children. There are many ways. You don't have to marry me, right?"
Shi Fuxin snorted and smiled: "Although I didn't check Xiao Ziqing's pulse, I can tell from one look at his face that this man has a weak kidney, and his future heirs will be difficult. I guess the Queen Mother also knows this."
As he said this, he showed a frustrated expression.
"Sister, to be honest, I really don't like him being my brother-in-law. After you marry him, I have to work hard to nurse him back to health."
Shi Fuxin looked at Shi Fuyin seriously: "Sister, I have already thought of a way for you, but this is your life-long event after all. Marrying Xiao Ziqing may not be as harmonious and beautiful as imagined, and all the consequences will be yours.
Come and bear it, so it’s up to you to make up your own mind on what to do.”
Shi Fuyin hesitated: "...I contradicted the Empress Dowager, and the palace will definitely express its position. Perhaps, this matter will be suppressed."
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "The government's statement is to go to the palace to plead guilty. Apart from that, there is probably no other way. If you expect them to suppress this matter, it is better to rely on yourself."
"Then again, even if this matter is suppressed, your reputation for boldness will not be erased." He sighed, "Marrying Xiao Ziqing may be the best choice."
"At the very least, he is weak enough to dare to bully you and serve you with force! Also, his status is high enough, so you don't have to look at other people's faces all the time in the future."
Shi Fuyin was still undecided: "But... what to do with Huan Yan?"
Shi Fuxin: "Sister, please take care of yourself first." After a pause, "There is no way to have both ends of the world. Fortunately, the Queen Mother's decree has not been issued. Sister Xiahou will only be laughed at a few times.
The support of the Duke Ding's government will not cause any actual harm to her."
Shi Fuyin: "Let me think about it."
Shi Fuxin knew her sister's hesitation and held her shoulders solemnly: "Sister, don't always think of yourself as a good person. It's also a good experience to act like a bad person occasionally and be hated by others."
"I can wait, but the Queen Mother may not wait."
"This is your own business. It's up to you whether you want to fight for it or not."
"Just think about it, I'm going back to eat."
Seeing Shi Fuxin leaving gracefully, Shi Fuyin didn't react at all, but the eldest maid Gantang was a little anxious. The sixth girl stopped trying to persuade her. The top priority was to let her girl make up her mind immediately!
Gan Tang looked at Shi Fuyin, thought for a while and said: "Girl, I think Miss Six is absolutely right. There are some things that you need to fight for, but you must not delay your life-long events just because of a moment of intolerance."
.”
Shi Fuyin waved her hand, signaling Gantang not to say anything, but to kneel in front of the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, lost in thought.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Fuyin brought Gan Tang to her side: "Go to Lanyue Building and tell Sister Xin to prepare birth control pills for me."
At Lan Yue Tower, Fu Xin was still eating. When she saw Gantang coming over, the corners of her mouth curled up.
Her sister certainly did not disappoint her!
People don't want to be punished for themselves. They don't take the initiative to harm others, they are just fighting for their future lives.
Gantang told Shi Fuxin what Shi Fuyin had told him. He did not leave immediately, but looked at Shi Fuxin hesitantly.
Shi Fuxin was puzzled: "Why, is there anything else?"
Gantang: "Miss Six, I have a question in my mind that I would like to ask you."
Shi Fuxin: "Say."
Gantang: "If the third girl is unwilling to spread the news about the Shengzi Pill because of Miss Xiahou, will you continue to persuade her?"
Shi Fuxin looked at Gantang, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I will respect her decision. After all, this is her lifelong event. Good or bad is her choice. Others should not decide for her, even if
Even if I am her sister."
Gantang was blessed: "I understand, I understand. Thank you Miss Six for informing me."
Watching Gan Tang leave, Shi Fuxin looked back at An Ran and sighed in her heart, Mrs. Shi is still very good at training people.
Special Investigation Division.
Ye Mo had just returned from the dungeon. As soon as he entered the room, he noticed something was wrong. He raised his hand and shot a flying knife at the opposite column.
"Pa bang bang~"
Shi Fuxin clapped her hands and walked out, looking at Ye Mo with a smile: "Master Ye is really alert."
Ye Mo glanced at her, turned around and closed the door, then walked to the table and sat down: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that he didn't greet her, Shi Fuxin got straight to the point: "The Empress Dowager wants my sister to be a concubine for Duke An Guo, do you know?"
Ye Mo frowned. Of course he had heard about this. Among the four cheap disciples like Shi Fuxin, Shi Fuyin was not the best, but she was the most popular with him because of the tenacity in that girl.
He admires it very much.
Being a concubine is not a good idea, and he also wanted to help the girl.
"What do you want from me?"
Seeing how cheerful he was, Shi Fuxin immediately smiled and said: "Help me send a message to Princess Yongshou, saying that my sister has a fertility pill in her hand. Taking it can transform the body into a fertile constitution."
Only Ye Mo can do this.
Although there are still some connections for cigarette bags in the inner city, they were caught blind in the imperial city where the royal family and relatives gathered. Even if the news was passed to Princess Yongshou, it would not be investigated.
Ye Mo instantly understood what she meant, but he didn't agree with it: "How can you talk nonsense about the heir? Although the Empress Dowager is already old, there is no problem in living for another three to five years. What if your sister
She can’t give birth. Aren’t you putting her in a worse situation?”
Shi Fuxin: "I'm here!"
"."
Ye Mo stopped talking. Why did he forget that Shi Zhenghe's family had a monster with excellent martial arts and medical skills?
"Okay, I will arrange this."
"Hurry up, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will directly issue a decree to confer marriage."
When she returned to the uncle's house from Tecasi, Fuxin went to tinker with the Shengzi Pill.
Of course, there was no birth control pill that could change the body's constitution, so Shi Fuxin just randomly picked up a few herbs and mixed them with a body-building pill.
The so-called easy pregnancy was just that when Princess Yongshou came to see her sister, she secretly used her powers to treat Princess Yongshou's infertility.
