The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

588 Extra Story: Throwing an Olive Branch

After the meal, several people drank tea and chatted in the yard.Bai Lian was in the middle, on the left were two daughters talking quietly, and on the right were two sons-in-law, who were quieter.Qing Yu brought a few servants to wait around, pouring tea for the masters.

Looking at the little masters who have grown up and each have a happy family, Qing Yu can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.Her sideburns have a little white hair, and a woman over forty years old also has traces of time on her face.

Even the master's physique, which doesn't age easily, is much worse than when he was young.

Time is really a ruthless weapon, fair and terrible.

"When the two of you first came, you both had serious expressions on your faces. What's the matter, did something happen in Chaozhong?"

Holding warm oolong tea, Bai Lian looked at the sons-in-law beside him.Qiu Mu glanced at Nan Xiao, then turned to look at Bai Lian.

"Some things did happen in the early court today. The prime minister led all the officials to invite the father to establish an heir. They thought that the father was nearly half a hundred years old, and they should choose a successor for the throne. Especially when Xuanrui left this time, the officials seemed even more worried gone."

In one sentence, it attracted all the attention of the three women.This is indeed a big deal.

Bai Lian frowned and said: "Your father and emperor are not worried yet, what are they in a hurry for?"

Nan Xiao smiled and said: "They are all courtiers of the Snow Country, and they will plan for the Snow Country after taking their salaries. Originally, there have been princes in all dynasties, only the father has never been canonized. It is reasonable for the courtiers to be anxious. "

Duanmu Shiyao asked: "Has the prime minister mentioned any suitable candidates?"

Qiu Mu looked at his wife and said, "The candidates are nothing more than Xiao Si from the Ministry of Households and Xiao Wu from the Ministry of Punishment."

Nan Xiao picked up the tea bowl, while drinking tea, covered his eyes with the lid of the bowl, and took a peek at Duanmu Shiyao.Sure enough, when Qiu Mu mentioned Xiaosi Xiaowu, the muscles on her face twitched.Although it was only for a brief moment, he paid special attention, so he could see clearly.

Afterwards, he put down the tea bowl: "I feel that Father has not made a sound, and still can't make up his mind. His Highness Fourth is easy-going, and he has been working in the Ministry of Households for a short time, and he has not made any achievements. His Highness Fifth, he is Very good, but my temper has become a little more anxious, and my father still has concerns."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Bai Lian, and Bai Lian immediately asked: "Xiao Er, just say what you want, the words here will not reach the ears of others."

Nan Xiao smiled and said: "Actually, it's not something that people would listen to. I was just thinking, isn't there a His Highness Xiaoyuan in our Snow Country? If I want to make a suggestion, I will mention my brother-in-law."

Qiu Mu immediately said: "Brother-in-law, how can you say that? After all, I am the adopted son of my father and queen mother. If I am not my own son, how can I covet the throne?"

Nan Xiao said embarrassingly: "I only started from the most suitable candidate, and didn't think too much. It's because I didn't think carefully, everyone Haihan."

After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl again, pretended to drink tea and glanced at Duanmu Shiyao.She was looking at him with a smile.Great, this opportunity has been taken.What will the eldest princess do next?

Bai Li'an smiled and said: "Xiao'er did nothing wrong, why do you need to apologize? Your Majesty and I raised Xiaoyuan as if we were our own flesh and blood. If your father thinks it is appropriate, Xiaoyuan is fine."

"Mother's queen." Qiu Mu frowned slightly, and couldn't tell whether it was moved or worried.He is very clear that his parents regard him as his own flesh and blood, but he is not after all.The father still has Xiao Si Xiao Wu, how can his adopted son expect to be crowned?

Duanmu Shilin smiled brightly at this time and said: "No matter how much, father is the most powerful person in the world, he knows it well, let's not discuss this. However, no matter what father's decision is, elder brother Xiaoyuan is the most powerful person in the world. Lin will always be the best in her heart."

Qiu Mu laughed and said, "When Shi Lin said that, why should I feel so much for my brother-in-law? In your heart, he should be the best."

Nan Xiao waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm used to it."

Bai Lian couldn't help asking curiously: "What do you mean you're used to it?"

Nan Xiao glanced at Duanmu Shilin, both of them blushed when they thought of her father and brother's arm problem while doing it that night.

With this red face, other people who came here understood what was going on, and they didn't ask any more questions.

What Nan Xiao said today was very risky in the eyes of these people, and seemed to be suspected of being careless.Why should he worry so much about things that have nothing to do with him?If someone offends someone, he will be hated in the future.So Duanmu Shiyao should believe that Nan Xiao's support for Qiu Mu is true, because if she didn't sincerely hope that Qiu Mu could become the emperor, how could she say something in front of the queen, without thinking about her own future at all?

But they didn't know that Nan Xiao didn't plan to have any future at all, so how could they worry about it?He came to Snow Country to be an official, but for revenge.Now there is an opportunity for him to have a sharp weapon, how could he miss it?

Going home in the evening, Duanmu Shilin greeted her, and the two of them walked towards the bedroom holding hands.

"You eat dinner yet?"

"I ate in the official department, how about you?"

"I have eaten."

The two are very affectionate, and there is nothing but caring for each other.Duanmu Shilin has to rely on Nan Xiao habitually.

His muscles are indeed very strong, and he is tall. It feels safe to rely on him like this.

"What you said in front of your mother today moved my sister and brother-in-law very much."

"Oh really?"

"Well, after you left, my sister told me that my brother-in-law didn't make you a friend in vain. I'm afraid you are the only one in the court who dare to speak out."

"I'm just talking about the facts. What's more, my father is wise, and my mother knows the general situation, so I won't wear small shoes for me."

Duanmu Shilin laughed, her laughter was the most touching to him.If she knew what was going on in his mind, she wouldn't laugh like this.

Not long after, one day, he was working in the palace.Near dusk, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came in with some rosters.

"What is this?" Nan Xiao couldn't help being curious.

The servant bowed and said, "My lord, these are some of the newly elected officials this time. If there are some questions, please look them over."

Nan Xiao looked at each of them one by one, and found that there was indeed a problem. Obviously, through some channels, he obtained this official position.This kind of thing was strictly prohibited by Duanmu Canglan, even if it could not be controlled so much in the local area, it was very strict in the imperial court.There are so many at once, the problem is of course very serious.

A name flashed in Nan Xiao's mind, and then he carefully looked at the family backgrounds of these officials, and sure enough, they were all related to the eldest princess.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, you go down."

"Yes."

After the servant of the official department left, Nan Xiao's lips curved into a terrible smile.

Duanmu Shiyao, you really made a move.
