Chapter 55 055 A choice that is entangled between reason and emotion.
Master Kang's trip to Beijing Prince's Palace today was originally a whim. But he didn't expect that after he actually went there, he actually gained something unexpected.
He finally heard Xianyu's voice that he had always thought about. Although he didn't hear much, it made him very satisfied.
He had always wanted to make the little girl from the Wang family his daughter-in-law, and even took his three sons with him for this purpose, thinking that if one didn't work out, he could still have two. Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't like any of them, and instead kept muttering about the "Nine Sons Fighting for the Throne" for a long time.
Nine sons fighting for the throne?
You said that except for the fifth brother, the fourth brother and the eighth brother also covet the throne?
How is this possible?
Master Kang looked at his honest fourth son and well-behaved eighth son, and he couldn't imagine that they would cause so much trouble just to fight for the throne.
Then I thought about my crown prince, who was imprisoned for having an affair with a minor noble. I was really angry about this, but I didn't really want to depose him because of it.
After all, that was Yinreng, the bloodline left by his deceased wife Hesheli at the cost of her life, and his precious son whom he personally raised. He was completely different from his other sons.
Even though he has made a small mistake now, he is still his own son. He only needs to be locked up for a few days to reflect on himself. How could it be possible that this would lead to a rift between father and son and the abolition of his position as crown prince?
That's impossible.
While listening to Xianyu's complaints, Master Kang fell into deep confusion.
He was a little skeptical about these things, but Xianyu had predicted many things before, so it was obvious that these things were not groundless.
If these things came true, what would he do?
Sure enough, in the face of such a major event, letting Xianyu choose which son to marry is a trivial matter.
Firstly, the little girl is still too young. Even if she reaches the minimum age to participate in the talent show next year, there is no way for her to consummate her marriage at the age of thirteen.
Secondly, if because of this, she really developed feelings for one of her sons and he could hear her inner thoughts, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?
If it happened to be given to the one who could inherit the throne, that prince's ambition would probably expand unprecedentedly, and he might not necessarily do something terrible.
If it was given to someone who had no chance of the throne, there was no guarantee that this person would have some evil intentions and harm the other brothers...
Therefore, the existence of this little girl is really a headache.
But if he couldn't even solve this little problem, he wouldn't be called "The Greatest Emperor of All Time" - that's right, after listening to Xianyu's voice again and again, Master Kang had long been lost in the praises.
Although most of these praises were evaluations from history books copied by Xianyu, it was precisely because of this that Master Kang became more and more obsessed with being an idol.
It is stamped in history books, so it cannot be false.
So, this little thing will definitely not be difficult for him. It's just that he hasn't thought of any good way yet, but he will definitely think of it in the future.
Master Kang had a mysterious confidence in this, but he still couldn't help feeling troubled. It was not until he arrived at Prince Beijing's Mansion and ate the melons along the way that he realized that the so-called "Four Kings and Eight Dukes" were rotten to the core.
He was worried that these people would cause chaos like Oboi or the Three Feudatories had done before, and he obviously overestimated them.
But since it was rotten, it should be disposed of as soon as possible. He himself was not in a position to do it directly because of the affection of his ancestors, so he let his sons practice.
The little girl said that the fourth brother will succeed to the throne?
Okay, let him try it.
Master Kang made this decision silently, with a kind of willfulness that was madly testing the edge of fate - deep in his heart, he still preferred Crown Prince Yinreng, and had no plans to depose Yinreng at the moment.
But on the other hand, rationally he still felt that he should believe in Xianyu's "divine revelations". After all, this little girl had said things that always came true so many times.
For example, she even knew that he wanted to marry the second daughter of the Zhen family to the prince of Beijing - this was something that the Princess of Beijing personally asked the Empress Dowager to tell him, and it was considered a backdoor deal, so only a few people knew about it.
If the news leaks out in advance, it will damage the authority and fairness of the royal family's triennial selection of the Imperial Household Department... There are always some unspoken rules that everyone can guess, but you can't let others know, because that would be bad.
Master Kong has always been a person who knows the rules, and he doesn't try to be unique in everything.
At least for such small matters as the talent show, he was still very happy to follow the rules of his ancestors. After all, following the rules in such matters was the easiest.
It’s okay to have unspoken rules, but they have to be unspoken enough and not made public to the point where everyone knows about it, otherwise it would break the rules.
So, he made an opening just for this matter.
He even refused to agree to choose Ulanara as the Fourth Prince's wife - in his heart, he still felt that it would be a good idea to give the little girl from the Wang family to the Fourth Prince.
After all, the little girl said that the fourth prince is the one who will inherit his throne in the future, so he should be with her so that he can continue to listen to her voice and receive endless "divine revelations" so that their Qing Dynasty can continue to prosper.
Through these few times of listening to her inner voice, Master Kang has realized that Xianyu is not an ordinary person. He has never heard of many of the words she "said" through her inner voice. There are even some new and strange technologies and knowledge that she vaguely revealed that he has never heard of.
It is conceivable that if given time, she could learn all the new technologies and knowledge she knows, it would be a great gain.
Master Kang was thinking as he walked, and he was so excited that he was thinking about it. Although he was hesitant for a moment at the beginning, he soon strengthened his confidence.
As expected, we still have to match Xianyu and Lao Si.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like them now, as long as he creates more opportunities for them, there is still great hope.
According to the little girl, there are still many girls who like the fourth brother, so isn't it just a matter of time before she falls in love with him?
Although Master Kang never paid much attention to his fourth son, recently the Fourth Prince had done several errands for him and performed well, so he gradually noticed the existence of this son.
People are so strange sometimes. If there is anything wrong with the son whom they have always paid attention to, it will be magnified infinitely, and they will find it unbearable and extremely angry.
But if my son, whom I never paid much attention to before, occasionally behaves better, it will bring extra surprises, and I will like him more and more.
That’s what Master Kong is like.
Especially with the influence of Xianyu's outward expression of her inner thoughts, he felt that the fourth son was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, while his other sons, including the crown prince, were not so lovable anymore.
No matter how rich Master Kang's inner drama is, people outside know nothing about it.
The main reason is that everyone inevitably has some ideas of their own.
The Queen Mother was always easy-going and rarely bothered about anything, so she was the happiest person in the group. The second was Concubine Yi. She saw that her son was very smart and couldn't help looking at the little girl from the Wang family, so she knew that the matter was half done.
As for her other half, she never thought there would be any problem.
Her son is so outstanding, how could any girl not like him?
Besides, her son and the little girl from the Wang family are still very young. Just because they don’t like them now doesn’t mean they won’t like them in the future.
Moreover, marriage is a big matter and it is all decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Who cares whether the two children are willing or not?
Now it is obvious that their Fifth Prince is willing, so she is confident that she can also make the little girl willing.
With such a capable mother-in-law around, it doesn't matter even if their Fifth Prince is a little naive - simple men are good, and they will definitely treat their wives wholeheartedly in the future.
After Concubine Yi made up her mind, she was ready to do her best for the lifelong happiness of their Fifth Prince.
It should be said that she is worthy of being Master Kang's favorite concubine at this stage. At least her brain circuits on this matter are exactly the same... What do you mean there is no emotion to cultivate? This really doesn't treat the girl as a human being.
Especially since this little girl is Xianyu, a soul from the world, you are still using the "parents' orders and matchmaker's words" excuse. You are really making a wrong calculation.
Fortunately, the couple's thoughts were still on their own and did not come to Xianyu's attention, so she didn't know about it for the time being.
However, Princess Beijing actually danced in front of Xianyu, which made her deeply uncomfortable.
If Xianyu didn't react at first when she was taken to the villa for tea and gossip in the name of the little princess, she did react when Princess Beijing asked her all sorts of questions and pretended to be casually mentioning how good their Shui Rong was.
After all this time, we still have to get married.
Forget it, Princess, let’s not make an appointment.
No matter how good your Shui Rong is, he is already taken. He and the second daughter of the Zhen family are a perfect match, so don't get involved... In fact, he is not really a good match for the second daughter of the Zhen family. Of course, it doesn't mean that he can be a good match for me. If he is the kind of person who has no plan, it will be difficult for him to be a good match for anyone.
Xianyu thought of Shui Rong, who was already the Prince of Beijing at that time in the original novel, and who actually openly flirted with Jia Baoyu during the funeral at Ningguo Mansion. Not only did they hold hands and whisper to each other on the street, but he even gave Jia Baoyu gifts in public.
[As bad as it is, the gift is the scented bead bracelet given by His Majesty the Emperor. Isn't this a clear disrespect for the imperial power... Using the gift from the Emperor to please his lover is really too brave. This is because he is afraid that the Beijing Prince's Mansion will not fall fast enough. ]
