Chapter 257
All clever
Everyone in the Qi family was very surprised when they heard Xiao Jingcheng's words.
He has always been heartless, and there are several young maids in the mansion, most of which were arranged by Empress Dowager Qi, saying that he was serving King Rui.
But those young and beautiful maids all became elder sisters in the royal palace and had no chance to enter King Rui's main courtyard.
Needless to say, outside the mansion, he said countless mean words.
He said something like "get out" almost regardless of the occasion.
Anyway, anyone who wants to get close to him will be humiliated by him. He is such a merciless person.
Everyone can't do anything about him.
His power was in the army, and those exclusion methods of prominent families or officials could not shake him. This also encouraged his arrogance and became less and less concerned about others.
When Empress Dowager Qi met her father and brother several times, she said that she was worried: "What should he do in the future? Where can I go to Ai's family to find a better woman than Cheng Lanqing for him?"
Cheng Lanqing's beauty, martial arts and scheming are all excellent.
Cheng Lanqing must have outstanding features for a woman who can be recognized by Empress Dowager Qi.
Unfortunately, she died.
As soon as she died, Empress Dowager Qi was very worried, and Xiao Jingcheng was even less concerned about the major events of his marriage.
If Queen Mother Qi hadn't been chanting and urging him, he would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life.
He is arrogant and no one will take it seriously.
The Qi family always felt that Qi Siran had delusions. They were not willing to humiliate themselves and match Qi Siran and Xiao Jingcheng together.
Just like this, he became so arrogant, but now he suddenly said that he was going to get married.
The woman he likes is Xue Mei, Princess Chengyang.
Xue Mei is a very complicated person. If you really want to summarize it in one sentence, she is very heretical.
She is unique, she is arrogant and domineering, and she is smart and courageous.
She did business with Prince Ancheng, and everything was very popular; she had good medical skills and dared to cut off the kidney of the concubine.
She can ignore the princess’ invitation.
There are many kinds of things, it is hard to say that she is a good person. But undoubtedly, Xue Mei is a capable person.
Like Cheng Lanqing, she is an exception, and is something that most noble girls cannot imitate, and is the most unique one.
"Don't worry, the Qi family will definitely congratulate you." Grandpa spoke, his voice not very high, "You have someone you like, this is a good thing.
The Empress Dowager mentioned your marriage many times, and she was worried. Now she was relieved. Princess Chengyang is gentle and zhenshu, and she is a good match."
"Thank you grandfather." Xiao Jingcheng stood up and saluted.
He is truly respectful to his grandfather.
Since childhood, my grandfather has been fond of him. Many of the secret guards in his mansion were handed down by his grandfather, and they personally selected and trained him.
These people are Xiao Jingcheng's back, and they are the barriers for him to move forward bravely.
My grandfather is old and a little thin. He is tall, and his back is slightly bent when he is old, and he can't straighten his waist. But in Xiao Jingcheng's heart, my grandfather is the hardest and wisest.
"Go back early and rest." said Mr. Qi.
Xiao Jingcheng stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as he left, the old marquis sank his face and said to Qi Siran: "Stay behind."
The master and his wife stood up and left.
After leaving the main courtyard, the eldest lady complained.
"I picked countless people for her, but she was not satisfied with any of them, saying that they were not good here and there. After the news, I thought my aunt was harsh on her and specially selected her crooked dates.
Love she had this dream! If Jingcheng had been interested in her, he would have been begging her for a long time. Why should he wait until today? She had a beautiful dream and I would be infamous for her." The eldest lady became more and more annoyed as she spoke.
The master comforted her: "No one took your fault. You have done your best to Siran, and everyone in your family knows it."
Mr. Qi left Qi Siran alone on the side of Mr. Qi.
He talked about Qi Siran's father.
"... He was brave and good at fighting back then, and he was always victorious. Don't insult your father's reputation. He was not glorious when doing things, using such means." said Mr. Qi.
Qi Siran bit her lip tightly.
My grandfather said a lot and finally said, "Don't worry about this! Your aunt will choose a family for you. After you get married, I will also write a letter to ask the court to give you a princess's mansion.
You are an independent child. It is better to start a house by yourself than to live with us, and it will be a waste of time to delay you."
This is forcing her to get married.
Qi Siran was extremely reluctant, but she thought that it was a good thing to have a princess's mansion.
She can have more freedom.
She did not object, but responded respectfully: "Yes, grandfather."
The old marquis asked her to withdraw.
Seeing her eyes, the old marquis sighed. He didn't know that she was free from the Qi family, but she lacked a layer of shelter.
When there is a conflict of interest, will others still see the face of the Qi family?
"I still spoil her too much. I have cleverness, but I have no wisdom." Old Marquis Qi sighed.
Because the fourth brother died on the battlefield, he left this orphan, and the old marquis prefers it. However, whether a person can become a weapon is not only born, but also requires severe polishing.
Qi Siran lacked the severity, and she did not grow into a towering tree.
The old marquis had no hope for her, he just wanted her to be healthy and lively.
But she fell in love with Xiao Jingcheng.
Good fortune makes people.
At this moment, the old marquis realized that his spoiling might have been a bad thing.
Qi Siran agreed to his grandfather that night, but went out early the next day and said she wanted to visit a famous doctor.
She is always away, which is what the Qi family acquiesced.
This time she ran away, she seemed to be angry and fleeing. She left a letter saying that all the major marriages were decided by the eldest aunt, and she stopped looking at each other.
Just tell her then.
The eldest lady was so angry that she was overwhelmed.
Qi Siran was angry, but the eldest lady couldn't be angry, so she had to ask the old marquis what to do.
The old marquis: "According to your opinion, choose a husband for her. I have already told her that when she gets married, she will open the princess's house. She will naturally be happy to choose a husband for you."
The eldest lady was overjoyed when she heard this.
OK, I'm finally going to get this done.
Qi Siran has been reluctant to marry, and others think she treats the orphans badly; she has a daughter who is one year younger than Qi Siran and has been suppressed.
It’s impossible that Qi Siran’s marriage has not been settled, but her cousin got married first, right? That eldest lady must not be poked on the back of the back?
Okay, this great god is finally going to send it out, and the eldest lady's daughter can also choose a son-in-law freely.
She went to do it happily.
Xue Mei didn't know about these things in the Qi family.
After the banquet, the private meeting between King Rong and Xi Baochen spread, and everyone was laughing at them for their private lessons.
The story reached the inner court, the queen, and the queen also knew about it.
The emperor naturally heard about it.
Although Princess Longqing is the daughter of Concubine De, she has been with Empress Dowager Qi for many years because she has been cute and likable since she was a child. At that time, King Rong was also raised in Wanjing Palace, and the two of them were more like brothers and sisters in love.
The princess defended his younger brother.
The female official reminded her: "Princess, this matter is related to Princess Chengyang. You should tell the truth and don't drag you into the water yourself."
He was actually very afraid of Xue Mei's appearance.
Princess Longqing was shocked.
The emperor also asked Empress Dowager Qi for his opinion, after all, King Rong was the first grandson she raised.
"The Ai family has an independent opinion," said Empress Dowager Qi.
