Episode 005

Old Master Xue planned to tie the Sheng family together, and the Shengchang Hou's mansion heard the news. Lord Sheng, his eldest son Sheng Xiuyi, the third young master Sheng Xiumu, and his wife Kang Shi were also discussing.

After coming down to court this morning, the emperor suddenly stayed in town Xianhou Grand Master Xue went to the imperial study to talk, and Shengchanghou knew about it.At that time, he felt a little uneasy, the emperor was looking for old master Xue today, he was afraid that he would say that Mr. Xiao was running rampant in the government and the public.

It's his turn tomorrow too.

The Xue family wanted the second prince to be in the East Palace, and the Sheng family also hoped that the third prince would be honored at the grand ceremony. Both families had plans, so they could be used by the emperor.

But he didn't expect that Old Master Xue would take the step ahead of the emperor and drag the Sheng family into trouble.

Xue Sheng's family was also forced to go to Liangshan.

The two princes are about the same age, not to mention Taifu Xiao is so insolent, but Taifu Xiao keeps his own place, and the queen has nothing to do in three or two years, the prince must be selected from the two princes.

Now Xiao Taifu's achievements are so high that even if the empress gives birth to a son, the emperor may have to take three points into consideration.

In the end, the position of crown prince will still fall on the heads of the second and third princes.

If the second prince is elected as the crown prince, the situation of the third prince will be worrying.Even if the third prince keeps himself safe, will the second prince trust him?
The prince who lost was probably going to die.

Then the Xue family or the Sheng family may be implicated.

Whether it is the Xue family or the Sheng family, there is only one way to go, and that is to help their respective nephews become the Lord of the East Palace.

The Xue family and the Sheng family would never be allies.

But now, someone wants to change the emperor, and wants to wipe out the second and third princes.The premise of the dispute between the two princes in the East Palace is whether to protect the throne or the royal family.If the throne cannot be kept, what can the prince do?
Prior to this, Mrs. Xiao was the common enemy of the Xue family and the Sheng family.

Because of this enemy, the Xue family was able to form an alliance with the Sheng family and twist together.

"Xue Zhenxian has been in court for 50 years. It is not luck. The emperor is now forced by Xiao Taifu to struggle. If he wants to rely on his relatives for help, he must acquiesce in his relatives forming a clique. But when things happen, forming a clique with relatives will definitely be taboo. The future is at stake. Xue Zhenxian is too shrewd, he is willing to form an alliance with our family, our two families work together, the odds of winning are much greater, and the emperor has no worries." Sheng Changhou sighed, "Xue Zhenxian is really an old fox!"

"Father, aren't you always worried about this matter recently?" The eldest son Sheng Xiuyi smiled and said, "Now, I finally have a way to get the best of both worlds! It can not only relieve the siege of the royal family, but also not put the Sheng family in danger..."

The 19-year-old Sheng Xiumu listened, and nodded slightly: "Master Xue turned around and left, the emperor's joy can't be restrained!"

"That is to say, our family is going to marry Xue's daughter as a daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Sheng, Kang, is not as optimistic as their father and son, and there is a look of worry in her eyes. It's a bloody battle between us and Xue's family! Marry Xue's daughter as wife for Brother Mu, no matter if our family loses or the Xue family loses, Brother Mu's room will be turned upside down!"

After all, she looked worriedly at her youngest son, Sheng Xiumu, who was nearly 19 years old but calm and capable.

Lord Sheng laughed loudly: "Who said Brother Mu would marry Xue's daughter?"

Sheng Xiuyi, Sheng Xiumu, and the Kang family were all slightly taken aback.

After a while, the eldest son Sheng Xiuyi frowned: "Father, do you want me to marry Xue's daughter?"

Sheng Xiumu and Kang's still didn't quite understand, following Sheng Xiuyi's words, their eyes turned to his face in confusion.

Master Sheng's eyes showed satisfaction, and his smile became even bigger: "That's right, we are going to marry Xue's daughter as the wife of the eldest son of Shengchang Hou's mansion!"

Sheng Xiumu suddenly realized: "Father, if the elder brother marries Miss Xue's family, if the Xue family loses in the future, our family can give Mrs. Shizi to..."

He made a kill gesture.

Kang's heart skipped a beat.

Politics is dirty and bloody as much as a melee.

She also understood Sheng Changhou's plan.

Sheng Xiuyi, the son of the Marquis of Shengchang, is 28 years old this year. Because of Concubine Sheng, the Sheng family is afraid of the prosperity and decline, so they dare not let Xue Xiuyi make contributions, and only allow him to hide his strength and bide his time.

Emperor Yuanchang practiced the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and named Xue Xiuyi, a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment and a fifth-rank official, who had no fame or record.

The Sheng family and the Xue family are a hundred-year-old family, and they work hard in the wind and waves, so they have today's wealth and glory.The more people like this, the more calm they are.

When Sheng Xiuyi was five years old, he betrothed to Miss Xu's family. When he was eight years old, Miss Xu's family died of illness. At the age of 16, he married the Seventh Miss of Chen Guofu as his wife and gave birth to a son Sheng Lehao.

Five years ago, Chen Guofu secretly supported the fourth prince's conspiracy.In order to assist the prince, the Sheng family and his son traveled around, just like the Xue family, they only wanted the prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

This matter let Shizi's wife, Mrs. Chen, know.

She actually sneaked into the outer study and tried to keep it secret to Chen Guogong.

After being caught by Sheng Xiuyi on the spot, he was locked up.

The four princes fell, and the Chen Guofu was ransacked and exterminated.

The Fifth Miss of Zhenxian Hou Xue's family was engaged to the heir of Chen Guofu, but after the imperial decree came down, Old Master Xue ignored the eyes of others and retired for Fifth Miss in person.After the Sheng family heard the news, Sheng Xiuyi's wife, Mrs. Chen, died suddenly the next day.

In order to deceive the public, the Sheng family found out about Miss Xu, who had a baby marriage with Sheng Xiuyi back then, and said that Sheng Xiuyi beat his wife!

Three years ago, the crown prince successfully ascended the throne, and Sheng Xiuchen, the second young lady of the Sheng family, appointed Concubine Sheng. Those shallow-sighted people ignored the rumors about Sheng Xiuyi's wife and insisted on proposing marriage to him.

Old Master Sheng was afraid that Chen's sudden death would be impeached by the censor, so he asked people to spread rumors everywhere, exaggerating the matter of Sheng Xiuyic's wife.

At first, everyone didn't believe it. After all, anyone with a little knowledge can understand why Shizi's wife, Mrs. Chen, died.

But the rumors became more and more popular, and Sheng Xiuyike's wife spread all over Jinghua.

Everyone was skeptical at first, but later they became convinced, and no one talked to Sheng Xiuyi about their marriage.

For this reason, Mrs. Sheng Kang often sighed.

Now that the old Hou Ye said that he told Sheng Xiuyi about Xue's daughter, and Sheng Xiumu made a "kill" gesture again, Kang immediately understood: their father and son are planning, once Xue's family is in danger, Xue, the wife of the eldest son The family will be killed by Sheng Xiuyi, who originally "kept his wife".

If the Xue family is fine, the Sheng family can tell the outside world that Sheng Xiu's character is too rigid, and a woman who is not blessed with good fortune and fortune cannot be matched.

Miss Xue's destiny is rich and honorable, so she is worthy of the son of the Marquis of Shengchang.

Regardless of the outcome, the winner is the Sheng family!
But putting aside these political calculations, Sheng Xiuyi lost his wife several times, what a blow to him!

"If Mrs. Xue is killed again, Brother Yi will really grow old alone in the future..." Mrs. Sheng looked at her eldest son distressedly.

Lord Sheng laughed: "Ma'am, you are too worried. If Mrs. Xue must be killed, it means that Brother Yi is the uncle of the future crown prince! Based on this alone, the daughters of the famous families in Kyoto will line up Send it to our residence, Madam, don't be too picky..."

When Madam Sheng heard this, she burst into a smile, and the depression in her heart was relieved a bit.

Even if it is decided that Sheng Xiuyi will marry Miss Xue's family.

Sheng Changhou asked Xue's family how many girls of the right age were there.

"I don't go around much with Xue's family, and I have never thought of marrying his daughters. I don't know which young ladies in his family are not married." Madam Sheng laughed, "Master Hou sent someone to inquire..."

Sheng Changhou immediately called the housekeeper in and asked him to inquire about the granddaughter of Lord Xue.

After an hour, the butler came back.

"Fifth Miss, Ninth Miss, and Twelfth Miss from the concubine, Tenth Miss, and Eleventh Miss from the concubine..." After the housekeeper finished speaking, he also told Sheng Changhou about the situation of these five ladies.

After sending the housekeeper down, Marquis Sheng Chang, Mrs. Sheng and the two young masters fell into deep thought again.

"Fifth Miss, was she engaged to Chen Guofu at the beginning?" Mrs. Sheng asked.

"Three months before the Chen Guofu's treason, Xue's family only proposed marriage to the Chen family. At that time, I wondered what the old master Xue was going to do. It was only later that I figured out that their family probably wanted to marry this fifth lady. Save it until the new emperor's four-year draft..." Sheng Changhou asked Miss Wu when he saw Mrs. Sheng open her mouth, and knew that she probably liked Xue Dongrong, so he immediately poured cold water on her.

Imperial concubines and ladies will all grow old, and the grace will always be exhausted one day.For the sake of eternal grace, the family will keep sending young and beautiful prostitutes into the palace to keep their favor!

Not only the Xue family, but the third daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Xiuqi, turned 17 in August this year, and she hasn't said anything about marriage yet.Outsiders can understand at a glance that the third lady of the Sheng family is also waiting for next year's draft.

Relying on the meritorious service of Old Master Xue and Old Master Sheng, as long as you send your prostitute daughter in, the emperor will accept it, and you don't need to worry about losing the election.

The noble family needs the grace of the saints, and the emperor also needs the support of the noble family.

Mrs. Sheng was a little disappointed, and said in thought: "Only Miss Ninth and Miss Twelfth are left...they are in the same house, and their elders and children are orderly. If the elder sister doesn't say kiss, it is impossible to say kiss to the younger sister first! Then , our family can only marry Miss Nine?"

Sheng Changhou thought for a while and nodded.

"But..." Mrs. Sheng frowned deeply.

She thought of the young lady she met at Princess Wenjing's mansion singing last year.Wearing a moon-white embroidered light pink hibiscus blooming Ge Yunchou beanie, a green bean-colored eight-treasure Bentu skirt, and a white pearl hairpin on her head, she is elegant and generous.But she was standing among the young ladies in richly dressed clothes, with such plain clothes, Mrs. Sheng still saw her at a glance.

The eyebrows and eyes of the tall servant girl are exquisite and charming, the snow-colored skin is stuffed with the first snow, the cherry red lips are like peach pistils, the black eyes are like splashed ink, and the steps are steady but graceful, strangely enchanting and charming.

So eye-catching!

Her appearance is not something that the eldest son of the Gongqing's family can bear!

Only the descendants of dragons and emperors can get such a beautiful woman, right?
"Master Hou, the Xue family really don't intend to send Miss Jiu into the palace?" Mrs. Sheng asked tentatively, "You haven't seen Miss Xue Jiu before, so you don't know how beautiful she is. If she enters the palace, it will be a blessing from the heavens." ... If she comes into our house, I'm afraid our small temple won't be able to house such a big Buddha! I think we should decide on Miss Xue Twelfth..."

Old Master Sheng was thoughtful: "Miss Jiu?"

Then he asked the housekeeper to inquire about Miss Xue Jiu carefully.
