Chapter 155: The couple chats about the Eastern Palace
After the couple had finished cleaning up, they hugged each other and chatted about some daily trivial matters.
"Wife, I heard that the Guo family came to propose marriage to the second son. Have our parents agreed?"
"Um."
Jiang Wan closed his eyes and yawned a little sleepily, then opened his eyes and looked at the man who seemed to want to say something but couldn't, and raised his hand to pinch his ear for fun.
"Just say what you want to say. What do you mean by holding it in like this?"
"Well, let me be clear. I'm just asking casually. If you're unhappy, you can't take it out on me."
Li Chengxiu looked at his wife and spoke first to gain a good position for himself.
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing his wife nodded, he dared to sigh and mutter.
"I don't have much to say, I just want to ask what makes Guo Ziqian better than my fifth brother? Jing Xiu has liked Han Jie'er since he was a child, I don't believe you can't see it.
If you really count them, they can be considered childhood sweethearts, right? My fifth brother is also good-looking. Although he is not as handsome and strong as me, he is still presentable, right?
He is a prince, and if he doesn't do anything stupid in the future, he will definitely become a prince. Wouldn't it be great if Han Jieer married him and became a princess? Why did our family reject the proposal of Concubine Xian and instead agree to the Guo family?
Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
"Did the fifth brother come looking for you?"
"What do you think?"
Li Chengxiu sighed again.
"You don't know how that kid cried. He was a grown man, crying and snotting. He looked even uglier than I did at the beginning.
After all, I've watched my fifth brother grow up, haven't I? So I wanted to come over and ask him what he did wrong that made our parents so reluctant to approve.
Tell me what you think and I'll tell him later, so that guy won't give up."
Staring closely into her silly dog's eyes, which were filled with genuine brotherly love, Jiang Wan could only sigh. She would never say that the Jiang family was afraid of the royal family and didn't dare to have two princesses. She could only try to shift the topic to the children's thoughts.
"Don't you know what the second child's personality is like? She's been stubborn since she was little. She doesn't like the fifth prince, but her family can't force her to agree, right?
You also said that your brother is quite good, so my sister is also quite good, right? If they can't get together, it can only be said that they are not destined to be together. What does it have to do with my parents?"
When Li Chengxiu heard the voice, he felt something was wrong and quickly hugged the dog's head and ran for his life.
"Don't be angry, wife. I just asked casually. Anyway, I have something to say to Lao Wu later. Let's not talk about this now and talk about something else!"
The princess was also very satisfied with his ability to read people's expressions and change his attitude according to the situation.
"You can talk about something else if you want. I noticed you didn't look well after you came back today. Did something happen in the palace?"
"Well, there's something going on with my brother."
The couple usually spoke frankly. Li Chengxiu hugged his wife tightly and sighed.
"Chang Liangdi had a miscarriage. Guo Liangyuan accidentally bumped into her. But I also heard from my mother that the Crown Princess was also involved. Anyway, my brother was in a bad mood today, so I went to drink with him tonight.
I listened to him rambling for quite a while, and on the way back I ran into Lao Wu and he cried with me for quite a while. Otherwise, how could I have come back so late? "
Jiang Wan fell silent after hearing this. She really didn't know what to say about the current situation.
In the original plot, Li Laosan and his first wife, Song, had always had a very good relationship. It seems that he never took a concubine until Li Laosan was killed by the Zhao family.
But now Li Laoliu is no longer there, the Zhao family has been driven out of the capital, and Li Laosan has already firmly sat on the position of crown prince.
But how did that once loving couple slowly become like this? How could the power of my little butterfly wings fan out a wrong wind?
"Wife, what are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
"Nothing, I just don't know what to say."
Jiang Wan also sighed.
"The Crown Princess made a stupid move this time."
"Is it not so bad?"
Li Chengxiu snorted coldly a few times in anger.
"It was clearly her own fault that she was so naive that she insisted on showing off her virtue and generosity by allowing my brother to take concubines and say that she was expanding the royal family.
As a result, when my brother was disappointed and agreed, and was ready to become a proper prince to give birth to an heir for the country, she did this behind my back!
I'm so angry!
You don’t know that my brother cried after drinking tonight. I have never seen him cry in his life, but I saw him crying today when he was drunk.
I was so angry at the time that I wanted to rush to the East Palace, drag that woman Song Ziying out, and take her directly back to her old Song family!"
"Just shut up and stop being stupid!"
Jiang Wan twisted his arm.
"In public, they are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess; they are the rulers and we are the subjects. In private, they are your brother and sister-in-law; they are the elders and we are the younger.
No matter how you look at it, it's not your place to speak out. The Emperor and the Queen are here, and there are people who will take care of her!
How did you deal with it later? Go on."
"I know, it's just something I said out of anger. I'm not really that stupid."
Li Chengxiu muttered a few words in a low voice, and then continued to report the subsequent events to his wife.
"Chang Liangdi's miscarriage had something to do with herself. Who made her always bully Guo Liangyuan, who entered the Eastern Palace on the same day?
Even a rabbit bites when it is angry, so it is understandable that others would fight back.
Anyway, the Queen Mother punished the Crown Princess, appeased Chang Liangdi, and demoted Guo Liangyuan to Guo Fengyi. Oh, right,"
Li Chengxiu lowered his voice a little.
"My mother took my nephew to Fengming Palace, saying that she wanted the Crown Princess to calm down and think about it. When she can figure things out, she will take the child back."
well.
Jiang Wan really felt that the Empress's life wasn't going well. He hadn't mentioned it before. Now, after all the hard work, she had finally come to terms with herself and stopped getting angry with the Emperor, but now her daughter-in-law was causing trouble again.
What on earth was the Crown Princess thinking? She was the one who wanted a reputation for virtue in the beginning, and now she is the one who doesn't want it either.
"Li Laosi, you see, there are too many women in the backyard, and the children are more likely to die. Even your brother, who is so smart, can't handle it. Don't do this to yourself in the future."
"How can I be the same as him? His wife doesn't love him anymore, but my wife still loves me very much! How could I possibly bring someone back to make our lives miserable? You are not allowed to learn from Song Ziying and say one thing in front of me and another behind my back. I can't stand it!"
"Don't show me your loyalty. You know what's going on in your heart. I'm not the kind of person who is virtuous and generous. Either we break up or we both end up together. You understand, right?"
Li Chengxiu nodded vigorously.
"Understand!"
