The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"I was so happy to drink today. There's no one at home anyway, so you two don't have to go back. We sent people from our own families back to tell His Highness that we can just stay here tonight."

The curfew time has now arrived. Although Li Xiang can continue to go back, Cheng Yaojin is obviously very drunk. Although he drank a lot yesterday, it is the East Palace of His Royal Highness after all, and there are many things that cannot be ignored. So Cheng Yaojin pulled Li Xiang and refused to let him go. He even had to drink all night tonight.

Li Xiang had a headache for a long time after drinking that day. Naturally, he couldn't continue drinking with Cheng Yaojin. However, if he didn't drink, he would drink almost a pound of wine in the end.

While Li Xiang and Cheng Yaojin were drinking, Cheng Luan and his mother were also talking behind them. In the end, Cheng Luan agreed to the family's arrangement. After weighing the pros and cons, Cheng Luan also knew what to do about this matter. Instead of this child It is better to come out of someone else's belly than to come out of your own eldest sister's belly. In this way, at least the child's maternal grandfather's family is the Cheng family, and there is still a blood relationship.

And according to some current practices, if you have a low status, you are not qualified to raise a child. The child must recognize Cheng Luan as his mother. After all, he is also his biological aunt, so he is also related by blood. Whose belly does it come from? It comes out the same.

"Mom, I know you feel uncomfortable, but in a wealthy family, what things can we decide by ourselves? Mom doesn't mean to curse you, but if you can't give birth to a boy in the future, if your eldest sister Giving birth to a boy may be your two sisters’ lifelong hope.”

Mrs. Cheng hugged her daughter. How could she agree to such a thing if she didn't have long-term plans for her daughter? But this kind of thing is too common in big families. There are many eldest ladies who were unwilling at first, but in the end they regretted it and let other women give birth to their eldest son, who would be very annoying in front of them in the future. But if this concubine's eldest son is his own nephew, that would be another story.

"The mother is right. Originally, the daughter thought too much. The daughter only thought about the two of them being happy and not having so many intrigues in the future. Unfortunately, it was still impossible to achieve."

Cheng Luan had indeed thought so. You must know that girls in this era could not think like this. They would think that it was normal for their man to have three wives and four concubines. Although there would be competition for favor, he never thought that he was the only woman. , of course, this is all the result of Li Xiang's indoctrination.

"Aunt Fang, eldest sister, have you ever been willing?"

Cheng Luan suddenly saw Aunt Fang standing next to her. This person was Cheng Yaojin's concubine and the biological mother of the concubine's eldest daughter, Cheng Ying.

"Miss, what are you saying? The marriage of the children is naturally decided by the master and his wife. How can she have the final say?"

Aunt Fang abides by her duties. Even when her daughter is about to marry into the East Palace, she still stands by her side honestly. In Cheng Yaojin’s world, Aunt Fang also knows the rules best. Otherwise, she would not dare to Her daughter was sent to the East Palace. If she was a naughty sister, the two would not be able to take care of each other. They might even fight each other, even more fiercely than others.

"Your sister is a boring gourd. She doesn't know how to deal with it in many aspects. Speaking of which, following you is also a good place. My uncle is a nice person and you are smart. If there is anything, you two sisters can discuss it. After all, that is the East Palace. , it may be a royal palace in the future, and only you two sisters are our own."

Mrs. Cheng is telling the truth. Cheng Yaojin's eldest concubine has always been kind-hearted, and everyone in the house knows it. If she marries into the East Palace alone, her bones may not be eaten by others. However, Cheng Luan is a scheming person. If the two sisters can complement each other, they will really be able to stand in the palace in the future.

"Mom and aunt, please rest assured. My daughter should respect her eldest sister and complement her in the East Palace."

Cheng Luan stood up and gave a big salute to the two people. Aunt Fang burst into tears. Of course, Aunt Fang knew Cheng Luan's temper very well. The Cheng family was also considered a noble family, and there were many children in the family. , Cheng Luan and Cheng Ying also have a good relationship.

In fact, according to Cheng Luan's idea, otherwise he could arrange for one of his maids to consummate Li Xiang's marriage. It should be easier to control after giving birth to a child, but after all, it is not the same as his own. If other ideas arise, it will be too late to regret it. .

Cheng Yaojin naturally wanted to send his eldest daughter in, so that no matter who gave birth to the young master, he would be the grandfather of the future king.

"Get up quickly. We are all a family. What's the point of making this fuss? Go to the front hall and keep an eye on it. Don't let me drink too much tonight. Later..."

Mrs. Cheng did not continue. It was also for the sake of her daughter's mood that she wanted Li Xiang to stay here tonight. This was what Cheng Yaojin and his wife had been discussing for a long time. They just wanted to let Li Xiang consummate their relationship with Cheng Ying here first. .

By then, there will be wine to drink, and there will be fewer candles in the house. The two sisters still look similar, and Li Xiang may not be able to notice it by then. This matter is considered to be done, and for the whole For the old Cheng family, it can be said that it has all the benefits and no harm. Of course, the only person hurt is Cheng Luan.

Looking at her daughter's frail back, Mrs. Cheng felt uncomfortable, but as a member of a big family, the interests of the family must be taken into consideration in everything we do. Since we have chosen to stand with His Majesty the Grand Sun, then we will The interests must be maximized. If the daughter is pregnant, she will naturally not be able to mess with all this. But now more than half a year has passed, and there is no movement in the daughter's belly. How can this be done?

In their opinion, there are many women around Li Xiang, and they cannot look at them every day. Even if you look at them, which woman does His Highness the Grand Sun want to favor? Do you still dare to block it? If you wait, officials from the Ministry of Rites will join in soon, which is no small matter.

What's more, Li Xiang is about to go south to Nanzhao, and there is a princess waiting there. If she gets pregnant early, it will be too late for us to regret it. If a boy is born, Cheng Luan's status will be in jeopardy. Cheng Yao Jin is getting older, and the whole family is facing an additional crisis. Naturally, it is not as safe as sending Cheng Ying up now.
