Chapter 170 Shield

For Chunjia, this requirement was both simple and troublesome.

The simple reason is that the decrees of giving marriages and rewards can be settled with a single order, and the trouble is that it is fine if someone else makes the request, but since it is a concubine Xian... then he has to think about it.

The Xie family has returned with several marriageable girls, and all the concubines are vying to marry them for the children of the clan. Under such circumstances, if the emperor grants marriages to the daughters of the Xie family and the children of the Luo family, it is conceivable , the value of other girls in the Xie family will definitely rise.

Originally there was a concubine's sister and a brother-in-law's brother, and they had preliminarily qualified for high marriage.

After the exaggeration of the imperial decree, I am afraid that when marrying a high-ranking family, it is not possible to consider the sons other than the eldest son?

There are many descendants of the Xie family, after such a marriage, how can this family not rise rapidly?

The Ji family of the previous dynasty has not yet been eradicated, and the regent is watching. The Luo family, the Ouyang family, the Meng family, and the Yin family are just when Chunjia can use them... At this time, the Xie family is growing too fast, and the Luo family and the others are not dead. How can we turn a blind eye?

They sent their daughters into the palace for the purpose of successors, but Luo Hanyi and the others are still the highest concubines, but Yun Fenghuang has already become a virtuous concubine, and is still raising the eldest son and eldest daughter of the emperor.

Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui could bear this, but she felt that no matter how favored and flamboyant Yun Fenghuang was, the possibility of becoming the master of Yanfu Palace was unlikely due to her limited background.

If Mrs. Xie makes up for this shortcoming...

Chunjia pondered for a moment, then said softly: "The most important thing now is the Lord's Lord Ceremony. Even if the concubine's sister wants to marry into the Luo family, it will be after the princess descends. Why don't we talk about it at that time?"

This is a tactful refusal.

Yun Fenghuang had expected it a long time ago, but he still felt a burst of disappointment in his heart: Chunjia needs to win over the Luo family and other high-ranking families to fight against the Ji family in this eye joint, and after the Ji family is over, there will be a regent, so his preference for her is There must be a bottom line.

It must not be the kind that makes the Rock family feel cold.

Now that she is a concubine, her family can't be too strong, and it has to maintain the gap with the Luo family.

When he really rules the world, there is no need to make such a trade-off, but at that time, the successor may have been decided long ago, so what's the matter with her?

If there is another son-in-law, according to the tacit understanding of the court, the eldest son of the emperor will be worthless.

So far, there has been no example of a concubine passing over a legitimate son to inherit the throne in the country.

"The concubine listens to His Majesty." Yun Fenghuang's thoughts changed, and he pursed his lips and smiled, "It's just...others are fine, and Zhaorong also came here to say it twice. Your Majesty, you also know that the concubine and the Zhaorong has a good relationship since then, and now she is pregnant again. Although I refused before becoming a concubine, I really don't want to bear it... this?"

Chunjia thought in his heart that the concubine Xian was waiting for him here, and he did not approve of Xie's wide marriage. If Yun Fenghuang directly mentioned this, he would definitely find a reason to stop him. The problem is that he just pushed the matter of giving Xie's daughter and Luo's son a face, and this marriage was facilitated by him, and now if Xie Wei's marriage is disturbed, Concubine Xian is afraid that she will make a fuss.

The emperor had a headache. The rise of the Xie family has been very rapid. A year ago, this was a border family that no one in the imperial capital knew about. Can it be hot?

must be contained.

The problem is that Mrs. Xie didn't do anything outrageous and resentful, and if she rashly suppressed it, not to mention that the future of the son-in-law Xie Wuzheng who had high hopes would be affected, the virtuous concubine in the palace would definitely seek justice from him... After all, I still like Concubine Xian, and I don't want to spoil the relationship with her.

This is very difficult.

"But I don't know which sister of yours Zhaorong has taken a fancy to?" Chunjia was quick to think, and asked instead of answering.

Yun Fenghuang hadn't decided which sister to marry with the Wei family, but of course he couldn't tell the truth right now, so he casually chose the one he was most familiar with: "It's the concubine's sixteenth sister."

Chunjia recalled the report from the Secretary of the Imperial City, and said with a smile, "Is it the one who wore a cloud bun and put pearls and hibiscus flower hairpins in it when she entered the palace?"

"Yes, did Sixteenth Sister and the others meet His Majesty when they entered and exited the palace?" Yunfeng Huanghu asked.

"It's a coincidence." Chunjia said gently, "I haven't seen it before, but someone around me has seen it, and today I asked Yan to lure that slave to me to test his reputation."

Before Yun Fenghuang could open his mouth, he said again, "Speaking of which, this man's concubine love is also known. It was the soldier named Luo Xun who rescued Chao's family in the Taichu Palace. It's a good match, but I agreed to help out as a matchmaker."

Luo Xun?

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly. She still had an impression of this soldier, but she didn't know much about it—after all, this man was an imperial guard, and the imperial guards were all young, handsome, noble children with high martial arts skills.

She was a young concubine who went to inquire about such a person, so she could easily be suspected of having ulterior motives.

Especially since she has a previous record of having a deep relationship with Chunjia and Qi Jiulu, so she can't make such a mistake.

That's why I didn't pay attention to Luo Xun after that incident, but I didn't want this person to be pushed out by Chunjia as a shield... Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and asked reluctantly: "I am ignorant and ignorant. But have you never heard of a general surnamed Luo in the country?"

Chunjia shook her hand and said with a smile: "My concubine is young, so it's normal not to know. This Luo family is a descendant of the hero who founded the country..."

He took out the rhetorical techniques he had learned and practiced for many years, and praised Luo Shi with gorgeous rhetoric for a long time, but Yun Fenghuang summed it up that this Luo family had a rich ancestor, and he was one of the personal guards who followed His Majesty the Taizu Emperor. Later, there was also a reward and an earl.

However, the generations in the middle did not live up to their expectations, not to mention a prodigal family, this Luo Xun's grandfather spoiled his body in a waste of time and wine, and left early, leaving behind orphans and widows and stumbled on the little friendship of his ancestors. Perhaps it was because of suffering too much at that time, Luo Xun's father also left early, and now the Luo family is just two generations of widows who are guarding Luo Xun and his next younger brother named Luo Mang to live in poverty.

"Since everything has been defeated like this, how did this Luo Xun choose to be in front of His Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang thought for a while before questioning, "Let alone be able to practice martial arts?"

Since he was poor and rich in literature and military, he was able to raise a son who was good enough to be a royal bodyguard, no matter how difficult it was, there should be a limit, right?

But judging from the meaning of Chunjia's words, the Luo family is in dire straits now, the kind that doesn't even have two maids, and the mistress of the house has to spend time spinning and weaving to supplement the household.

"...Luo's ancestors were also earls after all, so naturally there are some old memories." Chunjia coughed unnaturally, "However, these friendships are almost useless now."

Seeing Yun Fenghuang looking at him suspiciously, the emperor thought for a while, and felt that this matter could not be hidden from Concubine Xian, so he admitted bravely, "When Grandfather Luo Xun was there, the Luo family still had some wealth, so I made an agreement with the Yin family for the sake of my descendants. After the marriage, the Luo family fell into decline, and the Yin family did not want to marry their first daughter, so they recorded the concubine daughter under the name of the mistress as Luo Xun's mother."

Let alone whether the Luo Yin family was willing to marry into the Luo family at the beginning, but they are married, they have two sons, their father-in-law is long gone, and their husband is dead, life is really difficult, so of course they can only go back to their natal family for help— ——She also had a reason to ask for help. At the beginning, Luo Xun's grandfather had agreed with the Yin family that the prostitute would match the prostitute. Why should the Yin family not care about her mother-in-law? !

Therefore, the Luo Xun brothers grew up with the Yin family's children, and the Yin family was also responsible for food and clothing. Therefore, they were able to raise both civil and military skills, and they were qualified to be selected as imperial guards.

Of course, the opportunity to be an imperial guard was also given by the Yin family.

After all, Luo Yin's is just a concubine born from a concubine. She has been crying and torturing her mother's family for many years, and Yin's patience is almost gone.

After arranging Luo Xun as an imperial guard, he didn't pay much attention to this family of orphans and widows—then the emperor felt that this person was worth trying to win over, um, this was Yun Fenghuang's guess——Luo Xun Although my family is not in a good state of decline, but growing up in the Yin family has broad horizons, so I have always been very clean and self-sufficient, and have never married so far, in order to seek as high a marriage as possible.

...Then he was picked up by the emperor as a stumbling block to the marriage between the Xie family and the Wei family.

Yun Fenghuang asked long and short questions to find out the details of this Luo Xun, and his complexion was not very good-looking. It's nothing that the family is struggling now, Xie's family still has some money, and Xie Lan's dowry can support the whole family. Small.

The problem is that their family now has nothing but the glory of their ancestors!

Another person can still value Luo Xun as the imperial guard, who has the convenience of being close to the water and getting the moon first, but for Yun Fenghuang, no matter how close Luo Xun and Chun Jia are, can she still have the convenience of blowing pillow wind by herself?

Why should she marry her sixteenth sister under such conditions!

Is it really worthless to think that they have many daughters of the Xie family?

For a concubine like Xie Lan, although Xie's effort was not as much as that of cultivating Yunfeng Huang in the past, she was also carefully cultivated from a young age-promised to Wei's concubine, she still has a favored mother-in-law. Smart, promising, and having a high-ranking concubine and sister-in-law, what kind of Luo Xun is he?

"Luo Xun has been guarding me for many years, and there is hard work without credit." Chunjia saw that something was wrong, and said quickly, "I once promised that if he gets married, no matter what family the bride is, he will personally marry him."

He also hinted that Luo Xun would not be serving as an imperial bodyguard for too long, and he was already looking for an opportunity to release him to serve.

This kind of person who comes out of the emperor's side, as long as he is capable and does not make major mistakes, his future will not be bad.

After all, there is the convenience of being able to listen to the sky, isn't it?

But still the same sentence, as Chunjia's favored concubine, Yun Fenghuang is second only to the empress in the palace, she is not at all reluctant to hear this from Shang Datian!

What she cares about is the opponent's power in the previous dynasty.

This is what she and Mrs. Xie lacked.

But Luo Xun is also lacking... Then what's the use of her having such a brother-in-law?

After Xie Lan passes through the door, she will serve her grandmother, take care of her younger brother, have children, and maybe even take care of the flowers and plants in the backyard for Luo Xun, and her sister-in-law is free to say good things to Luo Xun to get promoted and get rich... Pooh! Do their sisters owe Roche? !

Yun Fenghuang resolutely decided to refuse!

But before the words came out, Chunjia sighed, and said softly: "My concubine thinks that the Luo family is too ruined, and I'm afraid I'll wrong your sixteenth sister? It's just that I'm also in a dilemma. After all, my concubine also said just now, Originally, he was just a feudal vassal from the distant branch, and he had no foundation in the imperial capital or in the temple... At first he was the emperor, although he was conscientious, but the powerful officials such as the Ji family and the regent were in power. Except for a few loyal officials such as Duke Yi, the rest of the civil and military officials were silent Don't say a word, just follow the wind."

"There are really very few people who are so devoted to me."

"Although Luo Xun's family status is declining, he is loyal to me. This is the first time he has asked me for a request, and I really can't bear to refuse."

"Why don't I call people over when I turn around, and Aifei will palm the eyes in person?"
