Lian'er now
I learned about Lian'er's current situation from Xie Sinan.
In short, she still believes she is six months pregnant. Although she has been promoted to concubine by the Huang family, the Huang family is still constantly causing her trouble.
Because Lian'er was six months pregnant, she often pretended to be friendly with Huang, and more often than not, she told Xie Sinan about Huang's wicked schemes.
Xie Sinan plays the role of a "filial son" who doesn't believe Lian'er's words and defends Huang Shi in every way.
"Just as I expected." Xie Sili glanced at Xie Sinan and said in a low voice, "The child is Lian'er's weakness. Whether the child is real or fake, she will fight for everything for the child."
Xie Sinan nodded in agreement.
"Focus on preparing for the big exam. Don't worry about the rest. Although that person wants you to leave, Huang may not be willing to let you go," Xie Sili paused, "Right now, she thinks you are still a sharp weapon for her."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xie Sinan lower his head in embarrassment.
"Have Lian'er come to see me tomorrow. I have something I want to say to her." She looked at Xie Sinan. "I will try to surpass Xie Siyu in the big exam."
"Sister, actually, fifth brother..."
"Is he steadfast in his character and unaffected by the Huang family? Or has he respected you, his second brother, all these years?" Xie Sili interrupted him. "Brother, why don't you try and see how he treats you if you soar to the top in this major exam?"
She didn't give Xie Sinan a chance to speak, saying, "I don't think the children they have will be any good."
Not receiving a reply from Xie Sinan, she yawned, "I'm a little tired, let Si Ze take it back to you."
Not long after Xie Sinan turned and left, she heard the sound of the stone slabs clattering. She looked up slightly and saw Jun Qiyu sitting on the windowsill in the distance, watching her.
"It seems you can only sneak in when Aze isn't around." Xie Sili leaned against the bed and glanced at Jun Qiyu.
"How are you feeling?" Jun Qiyu asked bluntly. "Do you know Eucommia ulmoides?"
Xie Sili glanced at Jun Qiyu, who hadn't answered her question, and asked, "How did you know?"
The question, naturally, was why she said that Du Zhong was one of her people.
"To be honest, I guessed." Jun Qiyu walked to the table next to him, picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, and also poured himself a glass of milk.
"I suppose so," she replied ambiguously. "Jun Qiyu, I, Si Li, never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning."
She looked down at the book "Guiguzi" in her hands, "I promised to support you in ascending the throne, and I will do my best to do so."
a long time.
She heard Jun Qiyu's voice, "Isn't the old man alright?"
Xie Sili knew what he meant by those words, and suddenly she remembered the words that someone had said before he died.
She had never been an emperor, nor did she know how to be one, but based on her understanding of history, the order was always ruler and subject first, then father and son.
Over time, they may become wary of their outstanding son, and at some point they might even want to eliminate him completely.
“I’m not sitting in that seat, how would I know the answer?” Xie Sili looked up at him. “But if you want it, I’ll give it to you.”
"I believe you will be a good emperor who is diligent in governing, loves the people, and strives to improve the country."
Not receiving a reply from Jun Qiyu, Xie Sili continued to look at the book in his hands.
A short while later.
She then heard Jun Qiyu's voice, "You have so much confidence in me? You believe I will be a good emperor? You believe I won't indiscriminately kill innocent people?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Sili raised her hand to close the book in her hand and looked up at Jun Qiyu.
As the male protagonist of the book, Jun Qiyu's life was described in great detail by the author.
Because her mother was an orphan of the previous dynasty, although she was fortunate enough to be favored by the emperor, it was a trap that she had set step by step.
Therefore, Jun Qiyu was not favored by his mother when he was young. In his mother's eyes, he was just a pawn in the restoration of the country. All her emotions were reflected in her attitude towards Jun Qiyu, and she would beat or scold him.
After his mother died, he wandered from place to place until he was finally found by his so-called father.
As the male protagonist, after being found, he always kept in mind what his mother had said and acted as a "playboy". It was precisely because of this that he was able to restrain his sharpness, get married and have children, and become the ultimate winner in life.
She remembered clearly that after Jun Qiyu ascended the throne, he worked diligently to govern the country, encouraged trade, and the people's lives improved day by day, eventually becoming "the greatest emperor of all time".
There were actually a few extra chapters at the end of the main story, but she had never been interested in what happened after the main story, so she didn't pay any more attention to it. However, she never expected to come to the world described in the book by chance.
He is the male protagonist created by the author, a character nurtured with the author's painstaking efforts.
“Of course.” Xie Sili met his gaze and answered without hesitation, “I believe you will become the best emperor.” His tone was completely devoid of emotion.
No sooner had the words left her lips than Jun Qiyu's voice rang out, "I can't let you down."
Xie Sili smiled but remained silent.
After Jun Qiyu left, Xie Sili heard Lvzhu's voice, "Miss, the whereabouts of Princess Anning that you asked the black market to investigate have been found. It is said that she has been studying abroad and will arrive in Chang'an soon."
After a pause, Green Bamboo said, "Princess Anning is an acquaintance of yours, Miss."
"An acquaintance?" Xie Sili looked at Green Bamboo, seemingly unable to recall where he had seen this stunningly beautiful leading lady before.
Without receiving a reply from Green Bamboo, Xie Sili saw Green Bamboo take out a scroll from her wide sleeves and hand it to her.
"Girl, take a look."
She opened the scroll under the expectant gaze of the green bamboo.
The scroll depicts a beautiful woman holding a peach blossom fan. The woman and the peach blossoms behind her complement each other perfectly, and you can clearly see the radiant smile on her face.
Based on the woman's appearance, she quickly retrieved information about the girl from her memory.
The girl's name is Shi Qing, and she was someone she accidentally saved when she was traveling in Ankang years ago.
"You're saying she's Princess Anning?"
She generally doesn't pay much attention to girls she's only met once, since the probability of meeting them again in the vast sea of people is quite low.
But little did they expect that she was none other than the famous Princess Anning.
"A scroll sent from the black market." Green Bamboo glanced at the girl on the scroll and exclaimed with a smile, "This Princess Anning is quite a beauty."
Realizing there was something wrong with her words, Green Bamboo quickly said, "Miss, that's not what I meant. You're a beauty too..." But as she tried to explain, she found that the more she tried to explain, the worse it got.
Xie Sili looked at Lüzhu's appearance and reached out to stroke her cheek. "Princess Anning is indeed a beauty. Even I pale in comparison to her." He didn't seem to care about what Lüzhu said at all.
"I remember being captivated by her beauty back then, but I never imagined she was Princess Anning." Xie Sili said, glancing at the beauty in the painting again.
The book also devotes a lot of description to this female protagonist. The author uses many words to describe her gentleness, kindness, and generosity, making her an excellent candidate for empress raised in a noble family in ancient times.
“Right, right?” A smile appeared on Green Bamboo’s face. “The young lady is heroic and valiant, a beauty of a different type than Princess Anning, but she cannot be compared with you.”
Lvzhu's words made Xie Sili laugh, and she reached out and pinched her cheek again.
"There's also news from the black market that the Huang family intends to have the Fifth Young Master marry Princess Anning. Is the Huang family out of their minds? How dare they even covet Princess Anning!" The words were full of dissatisfaction with the Huang family.
"Oh?" Xie Sili asked with interest, "Does Madam Huang want Xie Siyu to marry Princess Anning?"
Without giving Green Bamboo a chance to speak, she continued, "Don't worry, the Huang family won't achieve this goal."
“I’ve met the Fifth Young Master a few times before, and I sense that he’s not the same kind of person as the Second and Fourth Young Masters.” Green Bamboo spoke almost without thinking. Although the Second Young Master was a playboy, his character and conduct were impeccable. The Fourth Young Master was even more refined and gentle. Only the Fifth Young Master…
Noticing that Green Bamboo hesitated to speak, Xie Sili reached out and pinched her cheek. "How is Fifth Young Master?"
“When I went to see Mr. Murong and Mr. Shangguan before, I saw the Fifth Young Master secretly abusing small animals. His behavior looked extremely terrifying!” Green Bamboo said, as if recalling the scene at that time, and trembled all over. “Miss, how can the Huang family raise someone who behaves like this?”
Xie Sili gave Lüzhu a hug and patted him on the back. "How's Siyuan doing?"
"Don't worry, young lady, everything at Si Garden is ready. We're just waiting for you, the old master, and the old lady to move in." Green Bamboo said with a smile. "Shadow One, Dark One, and Mr. Yun Jian have also arrived. I never expected that Mr. Yun Jian would be willing to return to Chang'an."
Upon hearing this, Xie Sili nodded to her.
The next day.
Xie Sili got up with Luo Mei's help. Now that the old lady had returned, according to the rules, she had to pay her respects to her mother morning and evening every day. This was a etiquette that she had never missed in Yuzhou City.
She arrived at Qingsong Residence, where the old lady and her family lived, ahead of them.
"Ah Li, what brings you here?" Madam Yang stepped forward and took her hand first. "You should rest well."
"Grandfather, Grandmother, Second Aunt." Xie Sili smiled at the three of them.
"Third sister." Xie Sichuan and Xie Sichu spoke at the same time.
Xie Sili looked at the two of them and sat down next to them. "Are Fourth Brother and Chu Chu going to take the imperial examination in Chang'an?"
"I've met with Mr. Murong and Mr. Shangguan before. Their progress is about the same, so we'll take the grand exam in Chang'an City," Xie Sichuan said in a low voice. "Mr. Zhuge also has the same idea."
"Do your best." Xie Sili said, patting Xie Sichuan and Xie Sichu on the head. "Your opponents are not the ones from Yuzhou City."
"Third sister, don't worry, fourth brother has been working hard from dawn till dusk these days, he will definitely be better than fifth brother." Xie Sichu's words made them all laugh.
"Okay, okay." Xie Sili said, patting Xie Sichu's head. "Just keep a calm mind. All the major exams are being held at the same time." She then glanced at Xie Sichuan beside her.
"Don't worry, Third Sister." Xie Sichuan gave a gentle smile.
After Xie Sili arrived, Qin arranged for everyone to have breakfast together. They did not see Huang or anyone else come to pay their respects at dawn and dusk until they finished breakfast.
"They really don't know any manners!" Xie Ling muttered. "They didn't even know to come and pay their respects to us morning and evening after we came back."
"Grandfather, please don't be angry. Perhaps Mother was too busy to remember." Xie Sili looked at Xie Ling and said in a low voice, "You haven't been in the Prime Minister's residence all these years, and they have been complacent and haven't thought about the dangers." As she spoke, she handed the milk in front of her to Xie Ling.
"snort."
As they were talking, Xie Sinan and Lian'er came to pay their respects to the two elders.
Lian'er followed Xie Sinan and politely bowed to the two elders, but did not call them grandfather and grandmother, only calling them old lady and old man.
"sit."
Following Xie Ling's words, Xie Sinan sat down on the empty chair next to her, and the maidservant serving her also brought a chair for Lian'er to sit down.
After glancing at Qin Shi and Xie Ling, Xie Sili walked to Lian'er's side and whispered, "You are Lian'er?"
Seeing Lian'er nod in acknowledgment, she whispered, "I wonder if Miss Lian'er could accompany me for a stroll to clear my head?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Lian'er. Seeing Lian'er's hesitant expression, she was about to speak when she felt Lian'er's hand placed in hers.
"It is my honor to have caught the eye of the Third Miss," she said, standing up.
She led Lian'er slowly out of the courtyard, with Lian'er following behind her.
Noticing the gaze directed at her from behind, she turned to look at the person behind her.
She concealed her emotions, her voice carrying a hint of sharpness, and only her voice could be heard.
"Lian'er, are you a drug person?"
