Princess of the auxiliary country

"Your Majesty, is this all true?"

Fang Qiao couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. The Supreme Emperor personally sent people to investigate. Although there are two hundred households, it can still explain a lot of problems."

"I asked you to come here because I want to expand the scope of this investigation and make a comparison. If the situation is similar to this investigation, we will have to pay more attention to this matter of consanguineous marriage."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qiao's face became even more ugly.

The Fang family is not a small family like the Huo family. There was a time when the Fang family was glorious. Even though it fell midway, the Fang family is still a family with thousands of members.

The network of thousands of people is even more intricate, and among them there are inevitably people who marry close relatives.

There are also people who are close to him by blood, and several of them are in similar situations to the families who are married to close relatives in the survey results.

They had not forgotten this thought at first, but now they realized that all this was caused by their own people.

I had good intentions and wanted to get closer, but I never thought that I would end up harming the children.

Shen Huan next to him looked unhappy at this time because he had always tried his best to let his son marry Princess Qinghe in order to maintain the status of the Shen family in the future.

Now that this has happened, his plan has failed.

Naturally, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Emperor Zhaowu then asked Fang Qiao and Huo Jingzhi to handle the matter, while he kept Shen Huan.

Emperor Zhaowu still valued this elder brother-in-law quite highly, as he was capable and discerning.

So when Empress Shen said that Shen Huan wanted to marry Princess Qinghe for his son, he also agreed in his heart. The reason why he did not issue an edict was because Qinghe was still young, and he originally planned to wait until he was old enough to issue an edict.

But now that something like this happened, he had to reconsider.

"Shiheng, regarding Qinghe, it's better to let it go."

Hearing this, Shen Huan was disappointed, but he could only nod, after all, the emperor had spoken.

If he insists on biting her, wouldn't it mean that he is disregarding Princess Qinghe's life and death for the sake of his Shen family's status?

I'm afraid it will directly offend Emperor Zhaowu, which will be even worse for the Shen family.

"In this way, although Qinghe is not good enough, I still have two princesses of the right age under my knees. Which one do you want?"

If it’s not Princess Qinghe, the legitimate princess, so what if the other princesses have noble status? In Shen Huan's opinion, it was just like that.

But of course such words cannot be said out loud. Shen Huan pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "It all depends on the emperor."

"Well, I'll discuss it with the queen later."

Shen Huan cupped his hands and responded.

"Daughter, I really didn't expect that this close relative marriage would have such a big problem, and it almost harmed you."

Princess Ningyang, who returned to the eldest princess's mansion, was still a little scared.

At first she thought it would be a great thing to give her daughter the title of Crown Princess.

Now it seems that there are good things here and there, but it is simply a disaster.

"It's all over, isn't this done?"

"But I'm a little curious, why did grandpa suddenly want to bring me and King Qin together?"

"Is he still thinking about it?"

She didn't say what she said next, but Princess Ningyang also understood what she meant. He pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps I had this idea when I asked King Qin to come back, but after being rejected by the emperor, he should have understood the problem."

"The reason why I brought you two together is because I probably like you two and want you two to come together and support each other."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao nodded. She had no intention of interpreting the Emperor's meaning. She was just curious as to why she suddenly had such an idea.

In the following period, the Princess's Mansion entered a busy stage.

Although the eldest princess Ningyang had prepared all those things early, she still needed someone to decorate them, as well as some arrangements for the banquet.

Huo Junyao didn't have much experience in this ancient marriage, so she could only follow behind my mother and do something.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. In the past ten days, the people Fang Qiao arranged to investigate also sent in the investigation results one after another.

At this sight, almost everyone took a breath.

Even Shen Huan, who originally thought that this incident had delayed his family's affairs, had some changes in his mentality after seeing such shocking investigation results.

Although he wants to ensure his family's future status, he also hopes that his grandchildren will do well.

But current investigation results show that the problem of consanguineous marriage is indeed serious.

"This matter cannot be delayed. Fang Qiao, please come up with a charter as soon as possible."

Fang Qiao responded with his hands raised.

Within two days, an edict was spread throughout the world. The edict included a detailed introduction to close marriage, and also listed some survey data on consanguineous marriage and non-consanguineous marriage.

Finally, it was strictly forbidden to marry close relatives.

Of course, after the edict spread, some people thought it was very good, but others felt that the emperor was just idle and had nothing to do.

There are still many people who value this matter of getting married. For these people, the emperor suddenly did this. To these people, it was simply a bit nosy.

Although some people are dismissive of it, some people are still afraid after actually understanding it. After all, in this ancient society, there are still many consanguineous marriages.

It has happened to many people. If you compare it yourself, the results you get are more intuitive and shocking than the numbers in the edict.

For a time, there were more and more divorces in various places. Of course, these were all happy and peaceful divorces. After all, it was related to the safety of their descendants, so both parties could understand.

On this day, King Qin came to the eldest princess's mansion.

He has been back in Beijing for some time. Except for reporting to the palace and attending the Emperor's royal banquet later, he has hardly left the house.

After all, he himself knew very well that his status was embarrassing, and the prince and the King of Qi and King Chu were now competing in the capital. This was a very sensitive time, and it was not easy for him to go out to visit relatives and friends.

If someone is not careful and is said to be wooing courtiers, it will be unclear.

But today, he came to the eldest princess's mansion.

"You kid, you've been back to Beijing for so long, why are you just coming to my aunt's place now?"

Hearing this, King Qin smiled apologetically and said, "I haven't been back to the capital for many years. I was not used to it during this period, so I didn't go out. It's my nephew's fault that I delayed my visit to my aunt until today."

"Okay, okay, why are you talking to aunt about this?"

"I know you don't want to cause trouble, but you are still a little too careful. Our relationship is different from others."

Princess Ningyang still knew a little about her nephew's thoughts, and Huo Jingzhi had also told her some things. She understood but also felt a little distressed.

It's really sad that a dignified prince lives so cautiously.
