Poor Family Chapter 316

  Chapter 316, Marriage

   "Being a son-in-law has many benefits, but the price you have to pay in the future will not be less."

  Shi Fuxin was worried that his younger brother was in a rush and didn't really think clearly about the responsibilities of getting married, so she couldn't help reminding her a few more words.

  Shi Dinghao smiled and said: "Sister, I know that nothing in this world is free, and everything has a price. I am not the kind of person who thinks about getting something for nothing."

  Shi Fuxin was silent, and after a while said: "Your life is your own decision, as long as it is what you want, sister will support you."

   "But Jiulang, you have to remember that every decision you make, the starting point can only be because you want to do it yourself, and don't make decisions because of other people's reasons."

   "There have been a lot of gossip about me during this time, but this is my business. Unless I ask you for help, otherwise, the matter can only be resolved by myself."

   "I don't know anything about you and Princess Yong'an, but the reason I hope you marry Princess Yong'an is because you like her and want to start a family with her, not to help me and the family."

   "Kuro, do you understand what I mean?"

Shi Dinghao didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while: "Sister, I know what you mean, I don't deny it, I married the princess because I wanted to use her status to elevate our family's status, but I also really If you want to be with her, sister, I will be responsible for myself and Princess Yongan."

  Shi Fuxin looked at his younger brother with a serious expression, and didn't say any more.

  Princess Yong'an's proposal to marry Princess Yong'an was not what Shi Dinghao wanted to achieve. This marriage can be said to be completely in the hands of the royal family. The Shi family has no right to speak and can only wait passively.

  The Empress Dowager of the Buddha Hall of Shoukang Palace looked at it carefully with a volume of Buddhist scriptures. After reading it for a long time, she frowned and said to Xia Gonggong next to her, "Is Yong'an worried these days?"

  Eunuch Xia was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Look at this old servant, the princess is no different from usual."

  The Empress Dowager pointed to the Buddhist scriptures in her hand: "The Buddhist scriptures in Yong'an are very poorly copied, and there are several typos in them."

  Eunuch Xia was suddenly surprised: "It shouldn't be, what can the princess worry about?"

  The Empress Dowager sighed when she thought that Princess Yong'an had always been obedient to her, and rarely showed any intimacy like Ziqing did.

   "We can't guess here, so go and call Yongan over."

  Eunuch Xia stepped back quickly, and not long after, he led Princess Yongan over.

   "Greetings to the Empress Dowager."

  The Empress Dowager smiled and let Princess Yong'an sit beside her: "Yong'an, is there something on your mind recently?"

  Princess Yong'an looked at the Empress Dowager, a little hesitant to speak, as if she was ashamed to speak.

The Empress Dowager saw her and took her hand: "You and Ziqing both grew up in front of Ai's family, and now Ziqing has a wife and children, and Ai's family also hopes that you can live well, no matter what you think , you can tell Aijia, as long as it is reasonable, Aijia will satisfy you."

  Princess Yong'an is very aware of the power of the Empress Dowager, and she must not play tricks in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she said directly: "The Empress Dowager, I met the Empress Dowager Yongkang in the Royal Garden two days ago."

  The Empress Dowager frowned when she heard this.

  Princess Yongkang is the eldest daughter of the emperor, her biological mother is Concubine De, and Concubine De is an old man in the hidden residence. Although she is not as favored as Concubine Liu Gui, she still has a place in the emperor's heart.

   "Yongkang made fun of your marriage again?"

  Princess Yong'an lowered her eyes: "Sister Yongkang is also worried about my body."

  The Empress Dowager snorted, and then looked at Princess Yong'an: "You are twenty years old this year, and you are very old. What do you think about marriage?"

  Princess Yong'an showed a wry smile: "With my body, anyone who is willing to marry me probably does so because of her status as a royal princess."

  The Empress Dowager sighed, and patted Princess Yong'an's hand: "It's Aijia who killed you."

Princess Yong'an hurriedly said: "No, it is Yong'an's blessing to be able to come to Shoukang Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, and it is my own blessing." After a pause, she mustered up her courage and said, "The Empress Dowager, it is true that I am not in good health. Since they are all here for the princess status, if you want to marry someone, then I will marry someone I like."

  The Empress Dowager really wanted to make up for Princess Yongan. Hearing what she said, she immediately regained her spirits: "You are right if you can think so."

   "Let's not talk about the royal family, it's just the marriage of ordinary powerful families. It's all based on family status, relationship and so on. It's too ethereal. Making yourself comfortable is the most important thing."

   As she spoke, she looked at Princess Yong'an with a smile: "You girl has always been a prudent girl. If you hadn't thought about it carefully, you wouldn't have spoken to Ai's family. Tell me, which kid do you like?"

  Princess Yong'an showed a shy expression: "What does the Empress Dowager think of Shi Jiulang who is beside the emperor?"

  The empress dowager revealed a look of surprise: "Shi Jiulang? Sister Yin's younger brother?"

Princess Yong'an nodded: "Shi Jiulang is a rare open-minded person. Every time he comes to Shoukang Palace with his father, he can always be seen talking non-stop with the palace people. Yong'an thought, living with such a person, It shouldn't be boring."

   "Furthermore, Shi's family is not very high. Even if I can't have children, their family dare not talk too much, and I don't need to look at people's faces."

  The Empress Dowager remained silent.

  Princess Yong'an looked at her: "This is just Yong'an's idea, everything should be decided by the Empress Dowager."

  The Empress Dowager patted Princess Yong'an's hand: "Aijia think about it, you should step down first."

  Suo Xin followed Princess Yong'an out of the main hall, and when he returned to the side hall, he hurriedly asked, "Princess, will the Empress Dowager agree to your marriage with Big Speaker?"

  Princess Yong'an leaned against the window: "I don't know."

  She and Brother Ziqing grew up together. In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, she is Brother Ziqing's person. The Xiao family is withered. In order to create momentum for the Xiao family, it is not impossible for the Empress Dowager to use her marriage to pave the way for the Xiao family.

  Suo is impatient. A loudspeaker can make the princess happy. If the marriage fails, won't the princess be as depressed as before?

   "Princess, the Empress Dowager still loves you very much, if you beg her more, maybe you will."

  Princess Yong'an interrupted Suo Xin's words: "Silly girl, if the Empress Dowager is so easily impressed, then she is not the Empress Dowager."

  After following the Empress Dowager for so many years, she has already understood that the Empress Dowager is the most hard-hearted. Now, the only thing she values ​​most is the Xiao family.

   And she is obviously not as important as the Xiao family.

  Princess Yong'an recalled the scene when Shi Dinghao said that he wanted to marry her, and her lips pursed. Although she is a princess, she has always been involuntary. The empress dowager allowed her to express her opinions, which is the ultimate.

On the other side, Eunuch Xia looked at the Empress Dowager who was silent and didn't know what she was thinking. Thinking of the lonely figure of Princess Yong'an, he hesitated and said: "Shi Jiajiulang loves to joke and make fun. Even this old servant is happy to see you." .”

   "Since the Duke came out of the palace, the princess often stays alone, and it is inevitable that she will be a little lonely, but she likes a lively temperament like Shikuro."

  The Empress Dowager glanced at Eunuch Xia: "These mourners don't know about it, but Ziqing married the daughter of the Shi family and is already in-law with the Shi family. It would be a waste for Yong'an to marry the Shi family again."

  Hearing this, Eunuch Xia didn't dare to say any more.

  The Empress Dowager sighed: "This is the first time Yong'an has opened his mouth to Ai's family. Forget it, Ai's family should ask the emperor what he means."

  The emperor only came to the Shoukang Palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month to greet the empress dowager, and the empress dowager almost never bothered the emperor.

  So, when Eunuch Xia appeared in Qianqing Palace, not only the emperor was surprised, but also the crown prince, fourth prince and others present were extremely surprised.

   "Isn't this the first time the Empress Dowager has taken the initiative to seek out the Emperor Father after he ascended the throne?"

  The fourth prince looked at the prince: "Second brother, what do you think the empress dowager is talking about with her father?"

  The prince glanced at the fourth prince. The fourth prince never called him the prince, but only called him the second prince, as if to remind him that he was neither a heir nor a son.

   "Since you want to know so much, you can go to Shoukang Palace and ask the Empress Dowager and Father."

  The fourth prince smiled and said: "Seniors are in order, if you want to ask, it is the second prince, you ask."

  The prince snorted: "I'm very busy alone, not as busy as you." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

  The emperor has no feelings for the daughter of Princess Yong'an. Knowing that the Empress Dowager came to him to talk about Princess Yong'an's marriage, he immediately said: "Yong'an was raised by the emperor's grandmother, and her marriage can be decided by the emperor's grandmother."

  Seeing that the emperor didn't care at all, the empress dowager remembered the first time she saw Yong'an in the princess.

  Slim as a monkey, but with big and bright eyes, she saw the lonely and brave emotions in Yongan's eyes, so she chose her to take back to Shoukang Palace.

  Birth mother passed away early, and biological father didn't like it. She allowed Yong'an to have enough food and clothing, but her body was damaged.

  After the emperor left, the empress dowager seldom hesitated.

  According to her thinking, Yong'an should not marry into Shi's family, because it would not be able to help Xiao's family, but Yong'an finally found someone he likes.

  After dinner, the Empress Dowager was digesting food in the yard. When she passed by the side hall, she heard the sound of repressed nausea coming from inside. When she got closer, she saw Princess Yong'an was drinking medicine, and she vomited three mouthfuls after taking one sip.

  The empress dowager stood for a while, then turned and left.

  The next day, after the early court ended, Eunuch Xia appeared in Qianqing Palace again. The emperor was very surprised when he knew that the Empress Dowager was going to summon Shi Dinghao.

Thinking about the marriage of Princess Yong'an mentioned by the Empress Dowager yesterday, the emperor guessed why the Empress Dowager wanted to meet Shi Dinghao, looked at Shi Dinghao for a while, and thought about the situation of Shi's family, and then let Shi Dinghao He left with Eunuch Xia.

  The prince and others saw that Shi Dinghao had gone to Shoukang Palace, they were thoughtful, and then they all glanced at the fourth prince.

  How the Liu family dealt with the Shi family during this period of time, they can all see it.

  The fourth prince ignored everyone's scrutiny. Although there was no abnormality on his face, he was in a bad mood.

  Yesterday, my father went to Shoukang Palace. The Empress Dowager did not avoid the palace people when they talked about Yongan's marriage with my father. Therefore, as soon as my father left Shoukang Palace, everyone in the palace knew that the Empress Dowager was going to find a son-in-law for Yongan.

  The empress dowager called Shi Dinghao over at this time, and the meaning was already obvious.

  The Shi family, hmph, they were lucky enough to have a Mrs. An Guo Gong and Mrs. It is not enough, now they also need to have a Prince Consort Captain?

  The fourth prince doesn't really care about it. To put it bluntly, the backers of An Guogong and Yong'an are both the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is old, how long can she protect them?

  The empress dowager's gift of marriage to Princess Yong'an and Shi Dinghao was sent to the Wuchang uncle's mansion on February 25th, which really caught Shi's family by surprise.

  After the panic, there was a huge surprise.

  On February 26th, accompanied by Shi Fuyin, Mrs. Shi took Jin Yuee and Shi Fuxin into the palace to thank her.

  The empress dowager was old and her energy was limited. After talking with Mrs. Shi and Shi Fuyin for a while, she let the four of them leave.

  Princess Yong'an sent the four of them out of the palace, and when they passed the imperial garden, they ran into Concubine Liu Guifei and her party.

  Looking at the Liu family behind Concubine Liu Gui, Shi Fuxin's eyes flashed coldly.
