Princess Lu didn't say much anymore. She only said that she would find an opportunity to meet the eldest son in person someday and ask about her daughter's thoughts. In any case, as a mother, she would not want to make such a hasty decision on her daughter's marriage.
Si Ningchi did what he said. He sent someone to inquire about Si Haoze's recent whereabouts. When he was free, he invited Si Haoze to the palace for a small gathering. At the same time, he found someone to invite Fang Zhiyao.
"Brother, what are you busy with these days?" Before lunch, Si Haoze and Si Ningchi were sitting in the yard chatting.
"Some small things." Si Haoze paused and said, "My business in Beijing has improved a bit, and there are more things happening in the court. A few days ago, the emperor wanted me to take the supervisory and supervisory position in the Ministry of Punishment. Your Majesty,
What do you think?"
"Since it is the emperor's wish, brother can just go." Si Ningchi curled his lips and said with a smile: "With my brother's ability, what is there that I can't do?"
Si Haoze smiled helplessly and said: "The emperor has many intentions of suppressing the Si family. There have been many mistakes on my father's side, but at this juncture, I was promoted to a higher position, and I was given a big responsibility such as supervision and inspection by the Ministry of Punishment.
.”
Si Haoze paused and said, "I thought it was the empress who said something in front of the emperor."
Si Ningchi held his chin with one hand and said: "I have no intention of interfering with these matters. The emperor has the power to make decisions. The Si family is entirely to blame for such suppression. Do you think that the emperor is the only one who suppresses the Si family?"
Si Haoze was stunned when he heard this. He probably didn't understand who the other person Si Ningchi was talking about.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "What the empress means is that the Si family not only offended the emperor, but also offended...the Holy King?"
"You think so?"
"..."
Si Haoze was silent. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case. Si Yirong used such methods to force the emperor and the Holy King to agree to Si Qionglian entering the Holy King's Mansion. Now Si Qionglian is not liked by the Holy King at all in the Holy King's Mansion.
I even heard that there are many people who act as monsters.
This caused the Holy King to move back to the palace and not even return to the palace.
I thought that the emperor's move was to attack the Si family, but he unexpectedly promoted Si Haoze to a higher position, and even treated the queen with no disrespect, and even doted on her even more.
This makes people a little confused about the emperor's intention. Everyone thinks that if the Si family is convicted, the queen will be implicated, but now looking at the emperor's intention, it seems that the queen and the Si family should be treated completely separately.
Moreover, the Empress had no intention of helping the Si family at all, and she allowed the emperor to deal with the Si family without saying a word.
"Brother, do you think I am being extremely ruthless in allowing the Si family to be suppressed so much?" Si Ningchi raised his eyes and asked a little casually.
Si Haoze shook his head and said in a low voice: "The Si family is entirely to blame for this."
He didn't think there was anything wrong in what his sister did, he just felt a little regretful. He never thought that the family would become as divided as it is now.
While Si Ningchi and Si Haoze were talking, they saw Suyun coming in from outside and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the little princess is here."
Si Ningchi suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said with an unexpected expression: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to invite the young princess to enjoy flowers and drink tea today. Brother, do you think we
Is it okay if there is one more person for lunch?"
Si Haoze: "..."
He didn't know that his sister had such acting skills. He almost believed it. It was really an accident.
