After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

When He Yongdao heard the eunuch's words, his face was full of doubts. His son was going to talk about marriage and he didn't even know about it before.

Qian Lan also had an expression of disbelief, that was Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!

Only He Baoning said weakly to He Yongdao and Qian Lan: "Father, the person he said earlier is the empress dowager, you and mother should go to the palace quickly, don't let the empress Can't wait any longer."

He Yongdao was still dizzy when he heard this.

Qu Feng on the side was extremely livid.

Qian Zhixian was even more regretful. He was sure that He Baoning would not be able to marry His Royal Highness King Jing, so he despised He Yongdao's family so much today, and now he regretted it very much.

The faces of Qian Baozhu and Qu Rouyi were also blue and white.

When He Yongdao arrived at the palace, he still didn't react.

Entering the main hall of the palace, seeing Su Jingyan sitting on a high seat, He Yongdao and Qian Lan saluted repeatedly and said: "Cao Min pays homage to the empress."

Su Jingyan smiled lightly and said, "Get up quickly and give me your seat."

He Yongdao suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he hadn't reacted until now.

Seeing He Yongdao's bewildered expression, Su Jingyan said, "The reason for bringing the two of you here today is to discuss the marriage between He Yu and the Empress Dowager."

He Yongdao repeatedly said: "Madam, Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager is the Crown Prince of Datang. We, the humble merchants of the He family, really dare not climb high. My son He Yu is incompetent, and he is really not worthy of His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager."

Su Jingyan nodded and said: "I also think that He Yu is not good enough for my daughter, but their young couple is already in love with each other, and we parents are not good at fighting mandarin ducks, right?"

He Yongdao didn't dare to offend Su Jingyan, but he couldn't let go of his promise to the marriage: "Madam, He Yu is the only son of our He family for several generations, and the He family can't cut off the bloodline in his generation..."

Su Jingyan took a sip of tea and said, "How could the blood of the He family be cut off? The empress dowager must be able to give birth if she is in good health. If it hadn't been for the miscarriage because she missed the people in the center of Yinzhou City, you will be able to embrace gold after October." Grandson."

Hearing this, Qian Lan's face instantly turned red. Although they were both merchants, they followed the rules, and their son did something unmarried and pregnant, and they had no way to teach him.

He Yongdao heard this and said: "Madam, I will definitely kill that little bastard, how dare he do such things as unmarried and pregnant..."

Su Jingyan put down the teacup and said: "There's no need to kill him, the most important thing now is to put their marriage on the agenda.

The marriage between He Yu and the Crown Princess is extremely important, but the marriage between King Jing and Bao Ning should not be neglected, so the marriage between Bao Ning and King Jing should be done first.

As for the marriage between He Yu and the Empress Dowager, I still need to let the officials of the Taishi Bureau do a fortune telling after I return to the palace, and choose a happy day.

You should prepare for Baoning's marriage first. "

Seeing that Su Jingyan never gave him the chance to refuse the marriage, He Yongdao didn't dare to risk his head beheading and say that he didn't want the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager, so he could only settle for the next best thing:
"Ma'am, the He family only has one bloodline, He Yu, and the He family's bloodline cannot be broken with me!

It was his blessing that He Yu was able to climb up to the empress dowager, and the grassroots dared not refuse their marriage.

Can Bao Ning's marriage be ignored? Leave a bloodline in the Caomin family, and then Bao Ning will be able to marry a husband and continue to inherit our He family's surname. "

He Yongdao had no choice but to give the two children to the Xiao family.

He Yongdao went on to say: "At the beginning when the marriage contract was made, it was His Royal Highness King Jing who was forced by Cao Min, and Bao Ning didn't like His Royal Highness King Jing either."

Qian Lan asked repeatedly: "Why doesn't Bao Ning like His Royal Highness King Jing?"

He Yongdao glared at Qian Lan, cupped his hands and said, "When Bao Ning's marriage contract was made, he said that if Bao Ning and His Royal Highness King Jing didn't like each other, the marriage contract would not count."

Su Jingyan only cared about He Baoning these days, Xiao Zhen was still busy in Yinzhou City, she never asked Xiao Zhen what he thought of He Baoning.

Waiting at the door, He Baoning, who had been listening to the movement in the hall, shed tears of grievance when he heard his father's words.

He Baoning clenched his hands and entered the hall, knelt down in front of Su Jingyan and said, "Madam, I don't dislike His Royal Highness King Jing..."

Seeing the red-eyed He Baoning kneeling on the ground, Su Jingyan walked up to her and helped her up, and gently wiped He Baoning's tears with a handkerchief, saying:
"You laughed so cute when you were just born, don't cry, don't worry, your marriage with King Jing will continue as usual."

Su Jingyan looked at He Yongdao who was kneeling beside him: "Why do you care about such a surname inheritance? Even my daughter's will is violated.

This street is full of people surnamed He, without your family surnamed He, the He family's surname will still not be broken. "

He Yongdao sighed: "Madam, I don't want to cut off the incense of my He family..."

Su Jing said: "The incense of your He family is important, or is the blood of the He family important for the emperor in the future?
Although your He family is very rich, it is nothing but a word from the emperor.

Your grandson is as worried and frightened as you are for the merchant all day long. If your grandson's surname is Xiao, the one who inherits the royal blood is Datang Tianxia, ​​and the one who inherits is the future throne, which is more important?

Fortunately, you are a businessman, so you won't be able to settle this account carefully?
As for the incense, after a hundred years of your life, there will be an emperor and grandson who will hold your coffin and kowtow in front of your grave, so you don't have to worry about running out of incense. "

Although there was no threat in Su Jingyan's words, in He Yongdao's ears, he felt that if he did not agree to the marriage of the two children, the He family's wealth would be destroyed, so he could only kowtow:

"Your Majesty's words are justified, and the grass-roots should take care of their children's marriage."

Su Jingyan nodded and said, "Okay, the details of the marriage will be discussed with officials from the Ministry of Etiquette later."

He Yongdao cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Su Jingyan said that this was the first time seeing the grown-up He Baoning, and she was very satisfied with her appearance.

Su Jingyan took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on for He Baoning.

He Baoning thanked her again and again: "Thank you, Madam, for your reward."

Su Jingyan said with a slight smile, "You still call me your mother? Just call me your mother."

He Baoning blushed and said, "Thank you, mother."

Qian Lan was a little sour listening to it, but she was also happy for He Baoning when she saw that the empress liked her daughter so much.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult to get along with. When she first entered the He family, she was not less angry with her mother-in-law.

After He Yongdao said goodbye to Qian Lan, he left the main hall and ran into He Yu who came out of the empress dowager's bedroom.

Seeing He Yongdao and Qian Lan, He Yu stepped forward and said, "Father, long time no see."

He Yongdao glared at He Yu angrily and said, "You still have parents in your eyes?"

He Yu said: "The child is not blind, how can there be no parents in his eyes?"

He Yongdao said eccentrically: "You are the husband of the future empress dowager, how can I, He Yongdao, dare to climb up?"

Qian Lan glanced at He Yongdao, and said displeasedly: "Calm down, Bao Ning has already been made to cry by you, and you still want to make Yu'er cry. Yu'er, you have lost a lot of weight."

He Yu touched his face and said, "I lost some weight. When I get home, I want to eat vinegar fish cooked by my mother."

He Yongdao sternly said: "How dare you ask your mother to make vinegar fish for you? After you get home, eat fried pork with bamboo shoots first!"
