Chapter 166
The imperial concubine didn't even bother to call Yan Siyun over to persuade her, she directly asked Yun Zuo to submit the paper.

The next day, Yun Zuo handed over to Emperor Yuan'an the papers about the dangers of intermarriage, including cousins.

Emperor Yuan'an was shocked after reading it, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to verify it, and quickly issued a ban on marriage. From now on, cousins ​​will no longer be allowed to marry.

At the same time, the Duke of Zhen, who had been procrastinating for a long time, finally agreed to marry his youngest daughter, Chen Zijin, one of the four famous ladies in Beijing, and the fourth prince Yunzhen as his side concubine.

While returning to Yuzhai, Yan Siyun stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Yuefei Yegrika accompanied her, and said in Qiang dialect: "Why do I feel that the imperial concubine is much stronger than the former queen? She made all your plans come to naught with just one easy move. If you want to be the woman in the fourth prince's backyard, you can't do it! Just because you feel pity for you, His Majesty will no longer rely on you."

Yan Siyun pouted, and said: "If you can't, then you can't! I didn't like my cousin at first, but I just wanted to test him out, to see if he knew the truth, and I wouldn't really ask His Majesty to grant me Marry him, since the imperial concubine has come up with such a sufficient reason to stop it, then forget it!"

Yegrika was puzzled: "If the fourth prince knows the truth, aren't you afraid that he will try to kill you?"

Yan Siyun smiled and said: "If he is smart enough, he will be able to find out, everything is His Majesty's intention, I don't even know that broad beans can kill people, otherwise I won't listen to Your Majesty and give those things to the former queen to eat! If he is not smart enough, then with my scheming, I will not be afraid of his revenge at all."

Speaking of this sentence, Yan Siyun looked more serious, and said: "But I didn't expect that my cousin didn't respond at all, as if he didn't find anything, and he didn't care about everything. He neither rejected me nor accepted me. Me, on the contrary, I can't figure out his thoughts and details."

"Anyway, the murderer who killed my mother has already been executed. My cousin is innocent after all. As long as he doesn't come to trouble me, then I won't bother him. When I see Your Majesty next time, I will report to His Majesty." Xinyi, let him marry me to Yun Qi and become the Fifth Prince's Concubine, then even if my cousin finds out the truth in the future, he won't be able to trouble his sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, Yegrika sympathized with the Fifth Prince Yunqi and said: "Yunqi is very sincere to you, but you have repeatedly expressed goodwill to your cousin in front of him, and you are not afraid of hurting his heart! "

Yan Siyun smiled and said: "Yun Qi! He is really kind to me, and he has half and half sincerity!"

Yegrika was dumbfounded, and Yan Siyun was even more amused when he saw her appearance, and said, "You don't think he really has a deep affection for me, do you? Isn't it because His Majesty loves me that he treats me like that? I'm not afraid He, as long as His Majesty loves me all the time, he won't be able to escape from my palm, and it's not bad to marry a man who is easy to handle!"

Yegrika was stunned for a moment, sighed a long time, and complained: "You have been particularly determined since you were a child. I never thought you would suffer a disadvantage, but you are so smart, and you can't help me out."

She was referring to Yan Siyun's promise to help her get back some ground from Fu Xuechen, but she waited and waited, but Yan Siyun didn't come up with any ideas for her.

Yan Siyun froze and laughed endlessly. She had thought about this matter, but Fu Xuechen had a lot of advantages, and his appearance and talent were outstanding, and his temperament was also likable. Compared with others, Yegrika was defeated in all aspects. , the only ones who can win others with some confidence are riding, archery and dancing. However, in the Darong Empire, which noble lady can compare with you?

Yegrika also knew that Yan Siyun had no choice. When she had never met a real person, she really wanted to compete with him, but after she had real contact with him, she knew what it means to be beyond the sky and to have someone beyond the human.

It is true that there are people who are more powerful than you and more beautiful than you in every way. You can’t accept it even if you want to. No wonder Yoon Jo is all about the other person. From the age of twelve or thirteen until the age of 16, he finally asked the other person to be his wife. What's the point of competing with each other if they fly together?
After turning the sky, Yan Siyun really expressed his intention to Emperor Yuan'an that he wanted to marry the Fifth Prince Yunqi.

Although Emperor Yuan'an was surprised, he also summoned Yun Qi to inquire. After confirming that he was very willing, he formally married Yan Siyun to him as the fifth prince and concubine.

When the news reached Yanxi Palace, the imperial concubine raised her eyebrows. She always felt that when Yan Siyun was summoned that day, she seemed to be playing tricks on her with all kinds of rhetoric about wanting to marry the fourth prince Yunzhen. His words and deeds were inconsistent, but Yan Siyun finally let Yun go. Zhen, she still breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, she had completed the unimportant half of the empress' entrustment.

As for the most important part, letting Yunzhen marry Fu Xuechen, it can't be done!No one expected that Yun Zuo would intervene, but the emperor still favored him, making an exception and proposing a marriage in person, and the imperial decree bestowed a marriage, so there is no other way!
The imperial concubine still frowns deeply every day, picking and choosing among those noble girls whose status is comparable to Fu Xuechen's. Yunzhen still has a side concubine, and she must choose a noble girl who is not inferior to Fu Xuechen before she is willing to give up.

At the same time, she also urged the Ministry of Rites to send Qi Caiwei, the concubine of Qi Ge veteran Yun Zhen's daughter Qi Caiwei, to the capital to live in the mansion of her uncle Qi Dashi, and they can officially get married as soon as the auspicious day arrives.

In the court, many ministers were still arguing fiercely. Many ministers supported the establishment of Yunzhen as the crown prince, but there were also as many ministers who suggested that Yunzhen be crowned king first, and many remained neutral.

The imperial concubine knew that once Qi Ge returned to the capital, the power behind Yunzhen would be greatly increased, and the support for making him the crown prince would be much louder, but the Qi Ge boss would send Qi Caiwei to the capital.

……

Outside the gate of the Jinghua Garden, Fu Xuechen, who had completed the afternoon teaching task, walked out accompanied by Fu Rong, one class before school was over. Before he saw his own carriage, he saw Yunzuo's carriage first.

Li Zhenshou was outside the carriage, when he saw her, he quickly smiled obsequiously and bent down.

Fu Xuechen rolled his eyes at him, got into the carriage lightly, and left Fu Rong on the shaft seat outside the carriage.

There is no Cheng Zhu Confucianism in the Darong Empire, and it doesn't pay much attention to men and women. It is common for widows to remarry, and it is not uncommon for women to set up households. Relax a lot, the rule of not seeing each other before marriage is only applicable within three days before the official wedding.

Therefore, Fu Xuechen and Yun Zuo, who have made a marriage agreement, can almost be regarded as prospective couples. The way they get along at the moment is close to the date between lovers in public places in later generations, and will not attract criticism.

Yoon Zuo was sitting in the car, looking through the documents while waiting for Fu Xuechen, when she saw her coming up, he hurriedly put away the documents and threw them aside, happily reached out to hold her, and let her sit firmly beside him.

"Your Highness!" Fu Xuechen said angrily, "You and I will live a long life, you come to pick me up from school every day, let the little girls in Jinghua Garden see, what a bad influence!"

"I didn't listen to you. Have you changed to an ordinary carriage? And I am in the carriage. Who would know that the person in the carriage is me? Li Banban also went out to meet you when he saw you. Yours." Yoon Zuo distinguished.

Fu Xuechen was speechless: "Then you don't have to come every day."

Yoon Zuo shook his head: "I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns, I can't wait!"

He sighed again, and said: "There are fourth and fifth brothers in front of me. According to the rules, I have to wait until they are all married before it is my turn. This is too difficult!"

Fu Xuechen is a little funny, she also likes Yunzuo, but she is not in a hurry, Yunzuo is too anxious: "We are still young! We are only 16 years old, I don't want to live in the backyard so soon day!"

Yoon Zuo stretched out an arm towards her: "Then can you make it up to me and comfort me for the pain of lovesickness?"

Fu Xuechen slapped him on the arm mercilessly: "Your Highness, have you learned badly? Don't do it now!"

Yoon Zuo withdrew his arm helplessly, and muttered in a low voice, "I can't even hug you! How stingy!"

Fu Xuechen shot him a look.

Yun Zuo had no choice but to change the subject, saying: "Yan Siyun's marriage is settled today."

Fu Xuechen hurriedly asked: "Who is she dating? It can't be your fourth brother, right?"

Yun Zuo said with emotion: "No! She chose my fifth brother, and this choice made everyone very satisfied. Fifth brother has always cared about her, and Empress Defei didn't object. Finally, fourth brother will not be entangled by her!"

Fu Xuechen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I'm really afraid... After all, the former queen died of gluteus jaundice after eating all kinds of broad bean products she sent. If she entered your fourth brother's backyard, I wouldn't dare Think what's going to happen."

Yun Zuo smiled and said: "What can happen? No matter whether she was intentional or not, the first queen died because of her. My fourth brother has no brother-sister affection for her. If she really entered my fourth brother's backyard, my fourth brother Probably can play her to death, she didn't choose my fourth brother, it means she escaped a catastrophe, in this case, my fourth brother must see that she is his blood cousin after all, and my fifth brother, I will never do anything to her again!"

Fu Xuechen stared at him blankly, really not believing that Prince Bingshan would have such a cruel and ruthless side.

Looking at her expression, Yoon Zuo felt a little apprehensive: "You seem to have a really good impression of my fourth brother."

"He saved me." Fu Xuechen blinked innocently.

Yun Zuo was speechless, feeling a little upset, and said: "Now he is in some troubles, my father intends to crown him king, but many important officials in the court objected, advising my father to make him the crown prince, his The prospective father-in-law Qi Ge is also rushing to the capital, and there will definitely be a storm in the imperial court, and my second brother is not his opponent at all."

Fu Xuechen was a little excited: "You mean, your fourth brother has a great hope of becoming the prince!"

Yoon Zuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "My concubine mother intends to support him, even you want him to be the crown prince, why? Am I not qualified to think about it?"

Fu Xuechen was taken aback: "But you... are not the eldest son..."

Yun Zuo sneered, and muttered softly: "Is it difficult to be the eldest son?"

His voice was extremely soft, but Fu Xuechen heard it clearly, and fell silent immediately, Yunzuo's mother concubine is already a royal concubine, just looking at Emperor Yuan'an's doting attitude towards Yunzuo, it is really not difficult to turn him into a son-in-law, Maybe, many courtiers in the court who are currently neutral are his supporters.

But if Yun Zuo really wanted to fight for the heir and heir, and Emperor Yuan'an wanted him to inherit the country, then she, the prince and concubine, would be the queen in the future, and she had just grown disgusted with that palace , What an irony!

Yun Zuo was extremely concerned about her reaction, and immediately understood: "You don't want me to be the prince?"

Fu Xuechen nodded subconsciously, then shook her head quickly, and said: "I don't care about this! You can do what you think you should do. No matter what your status is, I will be your wife."

She comes from later generations, even if she knows that the battle in the palace is likely to be very cruel, she has no way to feel it intuitively, so she does not intend to use her preferences to influence Yoon-jo's decision-making, she does not want to fall into a passive position because Yoon-jo accommodates herself, who knows Are the consequences of Yoon-jo's failure serious?

Of course, it would be great if Yun Zuoru could be a happy prince in peace!It's a pity that the fact that Yun Zuo is deeply favored by Emperor Yuan'an has reached an extremely obvious level. What should the next emperor and ministers regard as a threat and do everything possible to deal with him?Can I still watch him passively suffer?
Yoon Zuo smiled at her and said, "I don't want to be a prince, I don't want to be an emperor! To be a prince or an emperor means that you can only live in that palace forever in this life, and you can't see the vast world outside. , I can only decide that you are the only one by my side if I am a willful prince! No side concubine or concubine!"

"Your Highness?" Fu Xuechen looked up at him in surprise, although she couldn't believe it, her eyes lit up.

Yoon Zuo said with an emphatic "hmm": "It's all the truth! I didn't lie to you! You don't have to worry about me. You can worry about something all day long. Don't worry. If I dare to say that, it will be There will be enough power to protect yourself."

Fu Xuechen thought for a while: "Is there anything I can help with?"

Yoon-joo smiled: "You have helped me a lot! Your machines, methods of making steel, gunpowder, etc., are not given for nothing. With these things, I am invincible place."

Fu Xuechen understood that those industries were all the manufacturing methods she gave first, and after Yun Zuo took them, she built factories, expanded production, recruited manpower and so on.

After the initial investment preparations, to this day, she doesn't know how far Yoon Zuo's industries have grown. She only knows that even if she holds a small share, the monthly dividends to her are a huge amount.

Not to mention that Yunzuo still holds the military power in his hands, and with the help of the Fu family, Fu Yuchen even secretly controls power for him that even she doesn't know, and it must include firearms.

The conservatives of the traditional farming civilization don't know how powerful the power brought by the industrial dividend is. It's no wonder that Yun Zuo can be so free and easy, confident and confident. After Fu Xuechen figured it out, he immediately believed him [-]%.

"It's just..." Yun Zuo said depressedly: "I don't know if my concubine mother is in a daze. She is planning everything for my fourth brother wholeheartedly, as if she has forgotten that she still has my son. I can't help it." I suspect that my fourth brother is her real son, and I have become her adopted godson instead!"

He spoke in a tone of jealousy and aggrievedness, which made Fu Xuechen smile "puchi", but then she became thoughtful. She always wondered whether the empress Xie had some reason to fall into the hands of the former empress, so that after the empress passed away, she had to do something for her. Yunzhen made a lot of efforts to fulfill the queen's last wish, but what if the queen told her that Yunzhen was actually her son?
