The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 358 Chapter 364: In-Laws Cling

The crown prince died of illness, and the emperor had no more heirs, and it was impossible to have another one at this age.

Therefore, the current situation in several palaces has become very strange.

The other three palaces have heirs, not just one, only King Luo has no children, but he is the most powerful among the four kings.

No matter what, the next successor to the throne must choose one of the four palaces.

However, given Sikong Musheng's age, everyone subconsciously ruled him out. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to choose an heir who is so old, assertive, and very strong.

You can only choose the young ones and put them by your side to adjust and teach them slowly.

However, everyone is afraid of the military power in the hands of King Luo.

At this time, Concubine Xuan took the initiative to show her closeness, and there was no need to say what plans she had in mind.

It must be to win over the Luo Palace.

If Yunran didn't live again, he must be delighted by this situation.

But because it wasn't, she was more cautious.

Neither wanting to be enmity with Prince Xuan's mansion, nor getting too close, Yun Ran thought for a while, and then said to Concubine Xuan: "There are a lot of things going on in the mansion, and I'm afraid I won't be able to move around. It's only been a few days ago. , Elder sister knows, I am the bride again, so many things need to be prepared in advance."

Seeing the embarrassment on Yunran's face, Princess Xuan understood.

What's going on in Luo Wang's mansion? The royal family members of them know better than others, and Yun Ran's situation can be understood a little bit, but still a little disappointed, but still said with a smile: "I wanted to relax with you, these The days are too tiring."

"Sister Xuan Wang's kindness is naturally appreciated. When the spring is warm, I will invite my sister to go for an outing. Let's have a good time." Yun Ran pursed her lips and smiled sincerely, with a bit of a newlywed look perturbed.

Concubine Xuan thought that she was still a child who had just married, she thought about many things and thoughtful, it was not easy, although she wanted to win her over, she didn't want to make trouble because of such a trivial matter, so she simply smiled generously: "That's a good deal."

"Yes." Yun Ran also smiled, thinking that Princess Xuan is a reasonable person.

Yunran bid farewell to Princess Xuan, boarded her carriage and left.

Concubine Xuan also got into her own carriage, and her daughter-in-law, Sun, followed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat opposite each other.

Mrs. Sun poured a cup of tea for her mother-in-law, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother, do you think Princess Luo guessed something?"

Princess Xuan's eyes flashed, and she glanced at her daughter-in-law, "What do you see?"

Mrs. Sun shook her head, "That's not true, but my natal sister met the eldest daughter of the Yanping Hou Mansion, and I've heard her say several times that Miss Bai often praised Princess Luo for being very smart."

Concubine Xuan frowned slightly, and after thinking about the number of Yanping Hou's mansion, she said: "I vaguely remember seeing that white girl."

"Yes, at your birthday party last year, Mrs. Yanping Hou took Miss Bai with her, and she even gave you a salute." Sun said softly, "The girl in Yanping Hou's mansion has always had a good reputation, so she can say that." , it must be extremely outstanding.”

Concubine Xuan leaned on the soft pillow and meditated silently, so Mrs. Sun stopped talking, but she also had her own thoughts in her heart.

After a while, Concubine Xuan suddenly said, "Has Miss Bai made an appointment?"

"I heard that the Marquis of Yanping is looking at each other. It seems that it has not been settled yet." Sun said softly with her eyes half down.

Princess Xuan nodded lightly, nodded and said: "I remember that your natal brothers are not married yet?"

Mrs. Sun nodded, and said with a helpless smile: "Yes, that's a book lover. He got into his book bag with all his heart and wanted to get a job in the exam. My mother is also very anxious, but she just can't hold him back."

"Is your younger brother going to end next autumn?"

"Yes."

Princess Xuan has two sons, the eldest son is already married, and the second son is only ten years old.

Although the Marquis of Yanping's Mansion is not top-notch among the nobles in Kyoto, the road has been stable in the past few years, which is also a help.

If you can climb up to the in-laws, this is the most appropriate.

Although the younger brother of the daughter-in-law's natal family is not a noble family, he is also the eldest son of the Sun family of the famous Qinyang family, and it is enough to match the eldest daughter of the Yanping Houfu.

After making up her mind, the more Princess Xuan thought about it, the more feasible it became.

"Then Miss Bai has a good relationship with Princess Xuan?"

"Under the tutelage of Mr. Qi, we have a classmate friendship, and it is said that the two have a very good relationship in private, and their daily contacts are also close. My sister and Miss Bai have a good personal relationship, so I know a little bit."

Concubine Xuan glanced at her daughter-in-law with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes. She would never mention this matter for no reason. It is probably because the Qin family took a fancy to the girl from the Yanping Hou Mansion, but felt that she would rush to propose marriage. declined.

However, it would be different if Prince Xuan's Mansion came forward.

However, this is a mutually beneficial matter, Princess Xuan doesn't care about her daughter-in-law's selfishness, she still needs to think about it carefully.

Although they took a big turn, if they could get closer to Luo Wangfu and get Luo Wang's support, they would undoubtedly have a better chance of winning.

***
Yunran didn't know about Princess Xuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After returning to the mansion, she took a steaming bath to wash away the exhaustion of the past few days. The girl wiped her hair with a dry handkerchief.

"What's going on in the mansion recently?" Yun Ran asked with half-closed eyes, she has been busy these days, and really can't care about the affairs of the palace, so she only asked when she was free.

Qiuhe and Chunxin followed her into the palace, and Yuehua took care of everything in the palace.

At this time, upon hearing Wang Hao's question, Yuehua stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, but there was a few disturbances in the west courtyard, and I heard it was very lively."

Yunran's eyebrows moved slightly, Gu Shuxuan was pregnant, it would be strange if Mu Qinlan could sit still, she has made a few fuss in just a few days.

Thinking of Mu Qinlan's killing of herself because of a little doubt before, more than once, I can think of Gu Shuxuan's current situation.

However, Yuehua didn't say that there was something wrong with Gu Shuxuan's child, it was because Gu Shuxuan took good care of herself.

When these two people fought against each other, they were really in the same boat.

"The eldest lady doesn't care?" Yun Ran sat up and asked, behind him Chun Xin was holding a comb to straighten her hair.

"It's okay, but it's still the same afterwards. The lady lay on the bed angrily for two days, and even Mr. Yan was reprimanded by the lady."

That was quite a commotion, and even Tan's temperament was a bit overwhelming.

Only then did Yun Ran feel a little interesting, Gu Shuxuan has really grown up now.

There is a very strange feeling in my heart, I always feel that the impulsive Gu Shuxuan is really different from the current one.

"What about the second room?"

"It's quite quiet, just like before, people from the second bedroom rarely show up." Yuehua said softly, "I heard that the second young master will be leaving next year, and he is studying hard behind closed doors, thanking guests behind closed doors."

Yun Ran nodded, and the second room never got involved in the disputes of the palace, so it was quite clear.

However, if they want to blend in, they really can't blend in.

The second master is not expected to be an official. In the palace, there are elder brothers and nephews who overwhelm him, so he has no place to stand out.

What's more, don't say that the second master is not suitable for being an official, even if he is a genius for being an official, unless he can suppress Sikong Muqi, he will have no room for success.

The reason why the emperor raised Sikong Muqi was to fight against Sikong Musheng. It was just right for the two people in the house to restrain each other. If there was a third party, the balance would be broken.

It is impossible for the emperor to allow three generals leading troops to appear in the Luo Palace. Wouldn't the military power in the court be completely controlled by the Luo Palace?

So watching Si Konglei studying hard to take the imperial examination, Yun Ran thought, the second master might not be really confused, and found another way to let the children of the royal family take the imperial examination, which was to find another way out for their family.

Although this trick is a little bit harder, once you get fame, it may not be a sunny road.

Yun Ran thought about it, besides the situation in the palace, there were still things about herself that she hadn't finished talking to Sikong Mu Sheng in her mind.

I don't know when, I fell asleep on the big couch.

When Sikong Mu Sheng came back, it was already midnight, and his clothes and hair were covered with snow beads.

Seeing that Yun Ran was fast asleep, without letting anyone disturb her, she quietly went to the clean room to take a shower and change clothes.

Yun Ran woke up when he heard the sound, opened his eyes, and saw Sikong Mu Sheng walking in wearing a thin coat with water still dripping from his hair.

She hurriedly got up, pulled on her shoes, walked towards him, and ordered someone to bring a dry handkerchief while walking, then turned her head and asked Sikong Musheng, "Why did you come back at this time?"

Looking back at the time, it has passed the time.

"It took me a while to get back on the way." Sikong Mu Sheng watched Yunran approaching, held her hand and sat down and said.

Yun Ran's heart tightened, and she was about to speak when she saw Qiu He come in with a handkerchief.

Sikong Musheng didn't like the maidservant's closeness, so Yunran took the handkerchief and came over, let Qiuhe go down, sat behind him and wiped his hair.

Sikong Mu Sheng slowly calmed down with a somewhat stern face, and then he heard Yun Ran ask him, "But what happened on the road?"
