Chapter 183
Zhong Shao went back to Chonghua Hall with a blank face that day. At that time, Su Mo didn't know that Zhong Shao had already gone to Xuanshi Hall. Seeing her listless appearance, he thought that something happened in the palace again. Woolen cloth.
A few days ago, Zhong Shao was conferred the position of Habayashi Zhonglang, took over the palace Habayashi, patrolling the palace every day to subdue his subordinates, and was very busy.Su Mo is more free. After all, she has not changed her surname. Even if the new emperor wants to train her to be the heir, she is not qualified to participate in politics at the moment. Therefore, most of the time, she just reads the memorial documents sent by the new emperor and writes a few words. A piece of advice, pretty easy.
Due to the different current situations of the two, Su Mo's news is obviously behind Zhong Shao's, so seeing Zhong Shao's appearance, he worriedly said: "Ah Shao, why do you look like this, but what happened? thing?"
When Zhong Shao heard this, he only smiled wryly in his heart, but on his face he adjusted his expression and returned to his usual appearance, and replied: "It's nothing." After a pause, he said: "I just went to the Hall of Proclamation, and I mentioned it to Your Majesty again. marriage proposal."
After hearing this, Su Mo's heart sank, and he only thought that the new emperor was in trouble, so he asked, "Aniang doesn't agree?!"
Zhong Shao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty has agreed, and we will marry you and me again after the next year."
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but then became puzzled again: "Since Aunt agreed, why are you so frowning?!"
It's hard to say anything about children.When the two expressed their affection to each other back then, Zhong Shao was still young, and he only thought that the person he liked also liked him, what a wonderful thing.She didn't think about children or something at that time. After several twists and turns, she didn't know if she could continue her relationship with Su Mo. Naturally, she didn't think much about it. It was not until today that the new emperor mentioned it. She pays attention.
But what about attention?The two women still couldn't have children after all, she owed Su Mo.What's more, the new emperor is not young, and the inheritance of the heirs will still be on them after all, so what should they do in the future? !
Zhong Shao felt at a loss when she thought of this matter, but today was New Year's Eve anyway, and she didn't want to make Su Mo worry with her, so she suppressed the matter and said, "It's nothing, but I wanted to let Shang The team brought some rare treasures from the Western Regions to add to the dowry, His Majesty now promises to marry us in the next year, I wonder if we can make it in time?"
Su Mo burst into laughter when she heard the words, she raised her hand and pinched Zhong Shao's earlobe, and said amusedly: "Today is New Year's Eve, such a trivial matter is worth your worry?!" After speaking, she remembered something, and asked Said: "By the way, it's all right, why did you go to propose marriage today?"
Seeing that Su Mo didn't follow up, Zhong Shao was secretly relieved, followed Su Mo to change the subject, put on a depressed look and said, "It's not those ministers, seeing that it's not easy to make His Majesty's idea, so I decided to give it to you." It hit you. I heard that they will write a letter to His Majesty in the next year, asking His Majesty to choose a son-in-law for you. Naturally, I have to be one step ahead."
Sure enough, Su Mo's attention was diverted. Seeing Zhong Shao's gloomy appearance, he comforted him with a smile: "Okay, okay, I only want to be happy with you, and A Niang knows it too. How do others behave? What is it with us?"
Zhong Shao's heart moved when he heard the words, and seeing Su Mo's smiling face at this moment made his heart feel softer, and he stretched out his long arms to embrace Su Mo in his arms, and said sullenly: "But there are always people who miss my wife, this is a wonderful feeling. It's not good."
Today's Su Mo is more popular than the previous princes. After all, she is the only daughter of the new emperor and has been given to live in the Chonghua Palace. In the future, the throne will most likely be passed on to her.There is no need for ministers to take risks in marrying her, not to mention that people in the world value the blood of the patriarchal family more. After the marriage, Su Mo's children are also his own descendants. In the future, the world can even be said to be passed on to his own family. Who can not be tempted? !
They all understand this truth, they have already prepared for the unbearable disturbance, and they are more determined to stick to each other.
**************************************************
Zhong Shao thought that if she kept the child's affairs a secret, Su Mo would have a good year, but the reality was more helpless than she imagined.
It was another New Year's Eve, another year of palace banquet, and I still remember that the eldest princess was poisoned by Emperor Jing Yuan at this palace banquet last year, and almost lost half of her life.However, a year later, the person on the throne has changed. The person who was almost persecuted to death last year has become the biggest victor and attended the New Year's Eve palace banquet again as the new emperor.
Another difference from last year was that both Zhong Shao and Su Mo also appeared at the palace banquet this time, and their rankings were still extremely high, far away from the Fu Wang family who were still stranded in Beijing.
The palace banquet on New Year's Eve was a family banquet, and the entire hall and banquet were from the clan. Although these people were all distant offshoots, they were all relatives after all, so everyone at the palace banquet was still relaxed.Not to mention unscrupulous words and deeds, at least not too restrained.
Zhong Shao has not participated in a few palace banquets, but in fact, palace banquets are just that, eating and drinking, watching songs and dances and listening to performances, just to pass the time.As long as the emperor doesn't find fault, and the people with the banquet don't find trouble, it will be considered easy.
However, there are never many people looking for trouble, even at this New Year's family banquet.It was also at the family banquet that some people seemed to have grown a lot more courageous. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, they used the alcohol to test: "I heard that your majesty sent down some ministers a few days ago. I don’t really understand, but I care about family affairs, Your Majesty is empty at the knees, and you still have to think about the future.”
Before the courtiers wanted to stuff men into the new emperor's harem, the excuse they made was that the new emperor's heirs were weak, but they offended the new emperor. Not only the few who wrote the letter were reprimanded, but the rest of the court reviewed and advised them It didn't work out either.This matter was a bit big. Although most of the clansmen did not enter the court, they had heard of it, so some people who relied on the old to sell the old began to bring up the old story again.
However, the new emperor didn't give any face, and he didn't care about the New Year's Eve family banquet. He just glanced at the man contemptuously, and said coldly: "I am forty-three this year, but you are persuading me to give birth to another heir. My life is too long?!"
This is a bit harsh, but it's actually true.For a woman to have a child is a matter of half-stepping into the gate of hell, not to mention that women in their 30s are considered to be old when they give birth these days, and the new emperor is over forty, so the danger of giving birth to a child can be imagined.Forget about accepting the harem, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is looking forward to her death when it comes to children and so on.
The person who spoke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words, and the four to five points of drunkenness he was still sober in an instant, and the smell of alcohol seemed to flow out of the cold sweat.He hastily got up and knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I made a slip of the tongue after drinking, but I have absolutely no such treasonous heart!"
The new emperor glanced at him coldly, did not speak for a while, and the hall fell silent because of this change, even the musicians who were playing music and the dancers who were dancing also stopped, quite at a loss.
If you want to talk about the thoughts of these clans, how could the new emperor not know?They just want to test the new emperor's intentions and bottom line. It is false to accept the harem's extended heirs, but they are actually adopting the idea.After all, Su Mo is a woman with a foreign surname, how could this group of people surnamed Xiao want her to inherit the throne by changing her surname?As long as possible, it is always best to push one's own descendants up.
The person who spoke and tested just now was just a young bird, but when the new emperor showed his attitude, the clans who had already communicated with each other were also tense.Seeing that the person who spoke was already in a cold sweat, but the new emperor did not intend to let go of his forgiveness, everyone became a little anxious, so after looking at each other, they all got up and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Zhong Shao and Su Mo naturally did not kneel down to beg for mercy, they still sat in their seats, watching coldly.
If no one present is a fool, how many people could not understand the deep meaning of the temptation just now?Not to mention that Zhong Shao and Su Mo didn't take it seriously, the Fu Wang family on the opposite side also knew it well, but Fu Wang was calm and also watched this farce with cold eyes, but the two brothers Xiao Chengyi behind him were not indifferent.Just looking at the current situation, I had no choice but to rest my mind again.
After letting everyone hang out for a while, the new emperor finally spoke again when everyone was feeling uneasy. She restrained her deep-seated coldness before, and said indifferently: "I will not bother you about my family affairs. After he paused for a moment, he said again: "In the next year, I want to make Su Mo change his surname, join my Xiao family's family, and canonize him as a princess."
Speaking of this, everyone who knelt down actually understood in their hearts.If it was said that the princess did not have the right to inherit the throne in the past, this one has already broken the shackles. If she wants to pass the throne to her daughter, the officials can no longer refuse Su Mo's status as a woman.This letter from the princess actually gave Su Mo the right to inherit the throne, and there was no need to mention the matter of adoption.
However, the new emperor was probably afraid that everyone would not give up. She was determined to support her daughter, so she just let go: "I am old and don't want to have any more children, but my only daughter is still old. Gentlemen, you don’t have to worry about the emptiness under my knees, I will have her offspring who can continue my Xiao’s bloodline.”
This is very straightforward. What the new emperor means is that even if the throne is not passed on to Su Mo, it must be passed on to her children. Outsiders should stop making random decisions.But after hearing this, there were quite a few people who made up their minds, just like those ministers, they turned their minds on Su Mo again.Who told her to divorce now and be single? !
However, the new emperor had expected it a long time ago, so he changed the subject and called out in another direction: "Zhong Shao."
Zhong Shao's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, he hurriedly got up, then bowed and saluted in response: "The minister is here."
The new emperor stared at her twice, then looked at the clan that was kneeling all over the hall, and asked softly: "I want you and Mo'er to renew your relationship. But today is not what it used to be. If you get married, what will happen to you two?" The future descendants will all take the surname Xiao, do you have any objection?"
Zhong Shao lowered his head slightly, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, his heart was filled with pain, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately responded: "I have no objection, thank you Your Majesty for the marriage!"
The author has something to say:
After being born twice in one day, Zhong Shao (throwing into Su Mo's arms): Hey, Ah Mo, your mother is strong...
