Chapter 33 033 Protecting Our Wang family is the most protective of our shortcomings.
When Xianyu heard Yinzhen's words suddenly, she was a little slow to react.
It wasn't that she suddenly suffered from juvenile dementia. The main reason was that, no matter what, she couldn't imagine that this was something the legendary Fourth Uncle would do.
What kind of good guy would be doing his job and suddenly go to where other women are having dinner to have awkward conversations?
Even if there was someone who would do such a thing, it would definitely not be the Fourth Prince Yinzhen - this is the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who will become the famous self-disciplined person of Emperor Yongzheng in the future. It is impossible to imagine that he would have any worldly desires, right?
After being confused at first, Xianyu actually came to her senses a little.
Although she didn't know why, it seemed like this uncle came here specifically to find her.
This is even more suspicious - no, why would you, the beloved son of Master Kang, think of looking for her, the daughter of an outsider?
Could it be that he wanted to use the "beauty trap" route and make her father his by gaining her favor?
This is a bit too funny.
Although her father Wang Ziteng was already a first-rank governor of the Beijing Camp, he did not join the camp of any of the princes - that's right, although it was only the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the battle for the throne among the nine princes had already quietly begun.
The first to appear must be the Crown Prince and the eldest prince's party.
The two oldest ones have long since reached the point where they dislike each other.
In addition, although Master Kang had already appointed the second prince Yinreng as the crown prince, the eldest prince was the eldest son and had always been with Master Kang through thick and thin, even going to the battlefield with him. Master Kang had always doted on him. As a result, the eldest prince had been coveting the position of crown prince.
He just had a good mother and was lucky enough to be born into Empress Hesheli's womb, so he could be the crown prince at birth...
What's so good about him? In terms of literary talent and martial arts, I, Yinzhen, am not inferior to him...
The Emperor still loves me, so why can't I be the crown prince? I am the eldest brother...
Thoughts like these were swirling in the eldest prince's mind. In addition, the ministers in the court were also afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so they divided into camps to support the two princes, all for the so-called "merit of following the dragon."
Moreover, this actually comes from tradition.
After all, Master Kang was only the third emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass. Before him, whoever could become the emperor was actually recommended by the leaders of the Eight Banners - probably whoever was the strongest prince would become the emperor.
Master Kang's grandfather, Huang Taiji, took this path, and his father, Shunzhi, did the same thing, but he won by relying on the strategy used by his grandmother, Xiaozhuang, otherwise the throne might have belonged to his great-uncle Dorgon.
Therefore, no matter whether by force or by wits, the throne of the emperor of the Aisin-Gioro family was obtained through struggle. There has never been a rule that one can smoothly succeed to the throne by appointing a crown prince.
These are the methods used by the Han Dynasty. They, the nomadic people, would not bother to use such methods thought up by cowards.
It is also because of this that even though Master Kang personally appointed Yinreng as the crown prince, not many people would really regard this as an imperial decree that could not be changed - at least they would not always think so.
There are so many princes, and everyone wants to be the regent, which is a powerful and influential official.
This is what the saying "a new emperor appoints his own ministers" means.
Only by supporting an emperor yourself can you ensure that you and even your family will prosper in the future.
Everyone knows this truth, which is why the phenomenon of forming cliques for personal gain occurs.
For these ministers who formed factions, this was a gamble, but for those who did not want to get involved in these practical matters and just wanted to be honest and loyal ministers and do a good job of the tasks assigned by Master Kang, this was a big misfortune.
Not to mention the distant past, just take the Lin Ruhai family in Gusu as an example. They seemed to be innocent cannon fodder involved in the battle between the Crown Prince and the eldest prince.
As for the capital city, it was filled with smoke and the situation was already tense.
It's a pity that Master Kang is still there and "everything is fine". He goes on tours every day. He has been to the northern frontier several times and the northwest several times, but it still doesn't work. He is still thinking about when to go to the south of the Yangtze River...
Well, sometimes, it’s quite helpless to travel through time alone, especially when you just want to be an insignificant person, but suddenly an important character in the plot comes to you. It’s too uncomfortable.
That's the case now.
Xianyu looked at the sincere look in the eyes of Yinzhen, who was still a 17-year-old boy, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, her family is very supportive.
Wang Ziteng was the first to come out to save the situation. He bowed to the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and said, "Fourth Master, please forgive me. I am a little shy. It would be bad if I was disrespectful in front of you. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
This means protecting Xianyu and not letting her talk to Yinzhen alone.
The old lady of the Wang family also stood up quickly. She was the elder and a female member of the family. In addition, she was the one who protected Xianyu the most in the family, so she was not so polite when she spoke: "Yes, I said, Fourth Master, you suddenly came here and wanted to talk to our girl. Even if you are a master, you can't force it. It doesn't make sense."
Ah, this... not really, not really.
Xianyu was deeply moved by her father and especially her grandmother's protective attitude towards her, no, it should be said that she was deeply moved by their love.
Unexpectedly, these cheap family members of hers are so nice and really dote on her. Look, they even dare to confront the fourth uncle head-on.
However, it seems that by doing this, I have offended all the Fourth Uncles?
[Ahhh! Although I am really touched that you, old lady and master, are protecting me like this, but by doing this, I have completely offended the fourth uncle... Oh, yes, don’t you know that this guy will be the successor to the emperor in the future...]
It didn't matter that Xianyu was so touched, her mode of expressing her inner thoughts was inevitably triggered again.
This time, the only people who could hear her thoughts were Wang Ziteng and the old lady of the Wang family.
As for Feng Jieer, she had just been taken away by her stepmother, Madam Li, using an excuse.
Originally, Xianyu should have been taken away with Fengjie and her daughter by her mother, Madam Liu, but for some reason, she hesitated for a moment, and by the time the old lady of the Wang family wanted to fill in the gap and take them away together, it was too late. Yinzhen had already opened his mouth and asked to talk to her alone, so it would be a bit disrespectful to say anything more at this time.
Therefore, whether it was Wang Ziteng or the old lady of the Wang family, the first thing they did was to stop Yinzhen, and they did not bother to instruct Madam Liu to take Xianyu away.
What’s funny is that Xianyu’s cheap mother really didn’t know how to take advantage of this opportunity to take Xianyu away... She is really the type of person who won’t budge unless provoked.
This is also the reason why Madam Liu, as the biological mother of Xianyu's body and the ready-made cheap mother, is not as favorably ranked in Xianyu's mind as the grandmother, the old lady of the Wang family, or even the cheap father Wang Ziteng, with whom she has little contact.
As for Feng Jieer, who comes to her every day to improve her favorability, is sweet-talking and smart, and really has her in her heart, of course she sits in the first seat.
If it weren't for the fact that Feng Jieer had so much to do these days and was indispensable everywhere, no one else would have had the chance to fill this position.
But even so, this confused Mrs. Liu still has no chance of making it into the top three.
Not everyone can hear Xianyu's thoughts. If not in the top three, then the top two, the top one, or even nothing at all.
In short, it is better to have nothing than to have something less than perfect. Anyway, this is all "divine revelation" and it's good enough to hear it. If one day System 003 really finds a way to fix this bug, then there will be nothing left... so cherish it while you have it.
For Wang Ziteng and the old lady of the Wang family, Xianyu's casual thoughts just now brought a huge shock to them... Oh my God, did their sister Xian say something outrageous again?
This time’s “divine revelation” is really explosive, isn’t it?
Is she saying that this Fourth Master will be the one who will inherit the throne in the future?
no?
If I remember correctly, their Emperor is only in his early forties now, right?
So when will this Fourth Master take the throne?
So, if he really falls in love with their Xianyu, what should they do?
Old Lady Wang and Wang Ziteng didn't know what to do for a moment, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Although they didn't speak, their attitude was very clear.
No matter who you are, as long as you want to harm their Xianyu, they will definitely not give in - unlike other families, their Wang family is the most protective of their shortcomings. If they can't even protect their own little girl, then don't even think about getting along in the outside world in the future.
Seeing the atmosphere at the scene becoming increasingly tense, Yinzhen finally couldn't help but explain, "Lord Wang, Madam, please be patient. I don't mean to force Miss Wang... I just really have something important to ask Miss Wang. If it's really inconvenient, I won't ask."
ah?
No, this fourth uncle is actually so easy to talk to?
Should it be said that he is too young and has not yet evolved into the dark and sinister character of the future?
Seeing that he was really about to leave after bowing, Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief but also became a little curious.
[Eh? This fourth uncle isn't as unreasonable as I imagined. How about we listen to what he has to say first? ]
