The main reason is that Xiao Hanyi is too young, otherwise these people would want to force the concubine's daughter over.
The Crown Prince soon learned of the Second Prince's plan, but he did not take it to heart.
Firstly, he believed that Xiao Hanzheng was a smart man and would not wade into the muddy waters of the fight for the throne.
Secondly, I don't bother using this method to win people over.
He has a Crown Princess, but the position of concubine is still vacant. There are not many women in the backyard. If he proposes to his father to marry Xiao Baili as a concubine, his father probably will not object.
As long as the emperor agrees to issue an edict to grant the marriage, Xiao Hanzheng will have no way to object.
But he would not do that. Relying on women to consolidate power and win over people is just a lowly move.
Besides, the emperor is in his prime. Would he want his son to be thinking about the throne he is sitting on?
The second brother and his friends were jumping around too much, and his father would have suppressed them without him having to do anything.
But you can be nice to the emperor's uncle.
The prince quickly wrote a letter to King Yi. It seemed like just a caring and sympathetic letter, but it actually mentioned which families were concerned about Xiao Baili, so that King Yi would know.
On that day, Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui went out shopping together.
The two men were wearing down jackets and followed by a handsome big goose. When they walked on the street, they attracted a lot of attention.
The two big geese, in particular, were very energetic, looked very strong and proud, and seemed very smart and obedient.
As long as the two of them say something, the big goose will understand and will go when told to go and stop when told to stop.
Everyone knew that the big goose raised by Shi Qingluo became the royal goose king, and that Daidai was very human and smart.
But now, looking at the pet goose that Xi Rui and his friend brought with them, which was so human-like, many people had the urge to raise geese as pets.
Especially the group of playboys who used to hang out with the two of them were extremely jealous.
After I got home, I bought a big goose to raise as a pet.
A group of people walked out, followed by a group of geese, and soon they became a beautiful landscape in Kyoto.
Seeing how cool they are, more and more people start raising geese as pets.
The demand for geese in the capital was so great that the supply could not keep up with demand. Not only could the geese be killed and eaten, but even if they were sold at high prices as pets, there was not enough money left.
A few days later.
The kang that Xi Rui had someone build was ready to use, so he invited the old man and the old lady over.
Others were curious and followed.
Mr. Xi walked into the room and was very confused. "What do you want us to see? There is nothing in this room!"
Xi Rui walked to the kang and took off his shoes.
He patted the seat next to him and said, "Grandfather, take off your shoes and come up to experience it and you will know."
Mr. Xi walked over, took off his shoes, and went up. He felt warm as soon as he sat down.
"What is this? How come it's so warm sitting here?"
Xi Rui said with a smile: "This is the kang I made especially for you and grandma. It's very warm to sit on it in winter."
"You can sleep directly on the kang at night and it will keep you warm all night long."
"This was invented by Qingluo in the Northern Frontier. I saw that it was very suitable for you and your grandmother, so I asked someone to learn it."
"Try it. If you like it, I'll rebuild a room in your yard. I'll have someone make a kang and put up a fire wall. That way, you don't have to sit on the kang, but you can still be warm when you sit in the room."
Because his daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law did not come with him, the old man lay down.
I found that it is really warm, but not hot.
"This is really good stuff. I am satisfied. You can have someone go to my yard to get it later."
"Shi Qingluo has so many things in his head, it's good to tinker with anything."
This year feels colder than last year, and he feels cold even when he sleeps at night.
Now that I have this kang, I don’t have to worry about sleeping in winter anymore.
Xi Xinheng and others also took off their shoes and tried it out. "It's really warm."
“This house feels warmer than ours, too.”
"Rui'er, you can't be partial. Let your people help us build a kang."
"Yes, your aunt always complains of pain in her legs when winter comes. If she had a heated bed like this, she could sit on it every day and she probably wouldn't feel the pain anymore."
"I am also very afraid of the cold when I sleep at night. Rui'er, please feel sorry for your uncle."
Everyone was talking at once, hoping that Xi Rui would get someone to help him make the kang.
It's rare that Xi Rui is so needed by everyone.
He smiled and said, "No problem. I'll serve you after I finish serving grandpa and grandma."
Xi Xinheng glanced at him and said, "And your parents."
Xi Rui chuckled and said, "Then you definitely can't forget your parents."
The old man touched the low table that Xi Rui had specially built, and said to his attendant, "Go and invite my old friends to play mahjong."
The attendant said respectfully: "Yes!"
Then went out.
Others from the Xi family: "..." The old man really can't wait to show off! Originally, he was going to the study to talk about the court affairs, but the old man didn't want to move after sitting down.
Then he let his sons and grandsons sit on the kang and talk.
As he was talking, Xi Xinheng said meaningfully: "The Liang family may want to marry into the Xiao family. I got the news that Liang Mingcheng's wife is asking about Xiao Baili."
As soon as these words were spoken, anyone who was quick to react understood why the Liang family wanted to marry into the Xiao family.
Apart from Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo who have great potential, the focus should be on King Yi.
Xi Rui was extremely surprised, "What? Liang Youxiao wants to marry Xiao Baili?"
Xi Xinheng said: "I don't know whether he wants to marry her or not, but his father definitely has this intention."
He then changed the subject and asked with a smile: "What about you, do you like Xiao Baili?"
Their family is originally the emperor's maternal family, and they have deliberately kept a low profile over the years and not formed cliques.
Therefore, the youngest son does not have to marry a woman of equal social status.
He asked this not because he wanted his son to marry Xiao Baili in order to win over Xiao Hanzheng and get closer to King Yi.
After all, the emperor is not deliberately suppressing the Xi family now, but is instead using him.
When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be enough for him to keep his current position and power.
What was the Duke's Mansion trying to do by trying to win over others? Was it to get himself killed? He simply thought that his son and Xiao Baili would be a good match.
With Xiao Hanzheng, his elder brother-in-law, taking care of him, and Shi Qingluo by his side, his son would become much more obedient.
Given my son's personality, there is a high probability that he will not like a girl from aristocratic family if I marry her.
His son is the most dissolute playboy in the capital, and even the daughter of an aristocratic family would not want to marry him.
Only then did he suddenly have the idea of getting married.
Xi Rui was stunned, "Dad, are you kidding me?"
He and Xiao Baili? In his impression, Xiao Baili was just a soft and sweet girl, and he never thought of anything else.
Xi Xinheng nodded, "Yes, I think Xiao Baili is good. If you think she is good, we can also marry into the Xiao family."
"Our family doesn't care about family background. As long as Xiao Baili is a good girl, it doesn't matter whether she was born a peasant girl or not. You don't have to inherit the Duke's Mansion anyway. It's enough for you and your wife to live a good life in the future."
He never had high expectations for his youngest son.
