Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Xiao House.

"why?!"

Upon hearing her father's words, Xiao Ling'er was stunned and looked at her father blankly, as if she suddenly didn't recognize her father.

She was so aggrieved that she had forgotten to vent her dissatisfaction and disappointment.

"My father is doing this all for you and for the Xiao family. Sit down first and listen to my father tell you slowly."

Xiao Huan took a deep breath, looked at her daughter gently and said, with a hint of helplessness on her face.

Xiao Ling'er didn't make any more fuss and sat aside silently, waiting for her father to give her an explanation, but the tears in her eyes had already begun to well up.

"The Xiao family is not from a distinguished family. Although my father is the commander of the personal military guards and is responsible for guarding the capital, and is a third-rank official, no one has ever looked down upon my father in the eyes of the royal family members and the aristocratic family members, let alone Look down on our Xiao family."

"Therefore, my father has long wanted to change this situation, so that those people can look at our Xiao family with a straight eye from now on, and you have such a temperament, those aristocratic families, royal family members will not like you, But as a father, you can’t just find someone to marry you casually, right? Then your life will only be more miserable and you will be bullied even more in the future.”

"While I was kneeling outside the Minghe Palace waiting for His Majesty's summons, I thought a lot about my father. Perhaps this is an opportunity given to our Xiao family by God. If you can marry the grandson of the Third Emperor, you will be a relative of the Emperor from now on. No. No one dares to look down upon you."

"Although the third emperor's grandson has always been a playboy and uneducated, but after all, you are in the emperor's family. Even if you can't succeed in the future, you can still have food and clothing."

"My father has seen that His Majesty's attitude towards the Third Emperor's grandson has changed. Perhaps by relying on him, our Xiao family can shine brightly and will no longer be looked down upon by others."

Xiao Huan looked at her daughter and explained earnestly.

"But have you forgotten? Of those ministers who have died tragically in recent years, which one is not a relative of the emperor?! Didn't you say it yourself, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. No matter how high you stand, if you are slightly careless, Will the family be ruined?!"

Xiao Linger shook her head and said unwillingly.

"Be quiet!"

Xiao Huan was startled, couldn't help but glance outside the door, and hurriedly made a silence gesture.

"You are right. That's why I chose the grandson of the Third Emperor as my father. Most of the courtiers who have been killed in recent years were related to the struggle for imperial power. However, although the grandson of the Third Emperor is a member of the royal family, he is the least likely to succeed. The person who holds the throne, so no matter who sits on that seat in the future, he will not be regarded as a threat."

"In this way, even if others fight to the death, nothing will happen to him. If he is fine, you will be fine, and my Xiao family will be fine!"

"Although he is incompetent, it is better to have it than not, so he is the best choice! And now that the whole capital knows about your relationship, His Majesty can't refuse, so he agreed to the father's request."

"Only by making a marriage contract with him can the bullying of you be settled, and the face of the Xiao family can be saved, and everyone in Youyou can stop talking. This decision as a father has all the benefits and no harm."

Xiao Huan lowered his voice and said seriously.

When he was kneeling outside the Minghe Hall, he had already weighed the pros and cons. When he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to preserve Zhu Yunxi, he immediately made this decision.

"You keep saying it's for the Xiao family and for me, but have you ever considered your daughter's feelings and asked me if I am willing?"

Xiao Ling'er looked at her father with a disappointed look on her face, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be held back any longer, and burst out directly from her eyes.

This exchange-style marriage made her extremely disappointed and disgusted.

"As a father, I feel sorry for you, but as a father, this is really for your own good. You will know in the future."

Xiao Huan sighed and said helplessly, feeling full of guilt.

"I won't marry!"

But Xiao Ling'er shook her head vigorously and said firmly.

"It doesn't matter. His Majesty has already sent someone to tell you that it will take two years before you can get married. You still have two years to think about it. Don't rush...cough cough cough..."

Xiao Huan thought for a moment and spoke slowly. At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but cough while holding his chest.

Although the injury is no longer serious, there is still a dull and severe pain from the place where the chest was injured.

Seeing her father coughing while holding the wound, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help showing a hint of worry. She wanted to step forward to check, but she still hesitated and took back her steps.

"It's getting late, go get some rest early."

Xiao Huan waved his hands and said a little tiredly.

Xiao Ling'er moved her lips, said nothing, turned and left hesitantly.

Her mind is in a mess right now, and she doesn't know how to make a choice. Her heart is filled with all kinds of complex emotions, including family justice, personal honor and disgrace, disappointment with her father, and unwillingness to accept the world.

Father said that His Majesty has already promised. If he goes back on his promise, he will be rebelling against the decree and will definitely bring trouble to the Xiao family.

Now she is in a dilemma.

"I'm sorry, Ling'er, don't blame me."

Xiao Huan looked at her daughter's leaving figure and murmured to herself, her face full of guilt.

But now that he had made his choice, he would not regret it, and decided to persuade his daughter to agree to the marriage.

Fortunately, there are still two years left, which is enough.

...

Two days later, the news of Zhu Yunxi's refusal spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto. Everyone began to laugh and ridicule. Some good-hearted people even made up a jingle. Children in the streets recited Lang Lang. Catchy.

At this point, Zhu Yunxi has completely become the laughing stock of the whole city. After being known as a waste and a playboy, he has another point that people talk about.

Wandering Palace.

Zhu Yunxi sat on a chair, holding an excerpt of the jingle in his hand. He gritted his teeth and looked up at Hong Yuan, who was standing beside him and couldn't help laughing.

"Did you make this up?"

Zhu Yunxi stared at Hongyuan and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't His Highness say that it would be better if the news spread like wildfire? So I came up with this method. Does Your Highness find it comfortable?"

Hong Yuan suppressed her smile and asked seriously.

"You're pretty good at rhyming?! Or double rhyming?!"

“Been to the new rap bar?”

Zhu Yunxi clenched the paper in his hand, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke.

"Rhymes? What do you mean?"

"What is new rap...singing?"

"Your Highness, do you mean to make up another nursery rhyme?"

"Why didn't I think of it!"

Hong Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said with sudden realization, with a hint of excitement on her face.

"Stop!"

"Are you no longer itchy?!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly waved his hand to stop, pretending to be angry and staring at Hongyuan.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi who was a little anxious, Hongyuan finally couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

"That's all, that's fine. I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous."

Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, crumpled the paper in his hand, and said lightly.

"Don't you, Your Highness, dislike that Xiao Ling'er? Then why would you rather make yourself a laughing stock for her?"

Hong Yuan put away her smile and looked at Zhu Yunxi curiously and asked.

"After all, she is innocent. Even if I owe her, it's even now."

Zhu Yunxi said casually.

Originally, he just wanted to use the "not moving" thing to create some rumors to attract everyone's attention and make others ignore his plans for the throne of the grandson.

But then he thought that what happened yesterday would definitely bring a lot of criticism to Xiao Ling'er, the chess piece he randomly picked, so he asked Hongyuan to deliberately make the noise bigger.

Whether in modern times or in ancient times, people will always remain enthusiastic about new things. If you want to quell one thing, the best way is to overshadow it with another thing.

But he didn't expect that Hong Yuan would make more noise than he thought, and he actually made up a jingle and taught it to the children.

Thinking of this, he could only smile bitterly, and he couldn't blame him.

"By the way, Your Highness, there is one more thing."

Hongyuan hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"what happened?"

Zhu Yunxi asked casually.

"I just received news from outside the palace that Li Jinglong is secretly checking on you."

"It is likely that he was instructed by the Second Emperor's grandson."

Hongyuan said with a serious expression.

"It seems that he is beginning to doubt me after all."

"I knew I couldn't hide it from him for too long."

Zhu Yunxi frowned, shook his head and said.

"Is he that smart?"

Hong Yuan asked hesitantly.

"He is just reserved and less ruthless, but if anyone thinks that he doesn't understand anything and is an Adou who can be manipulated at will, then they are totally wrong!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said thoughtfully.

"Then what should we do? What if he finds something..."

Hong Yuan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Li Jinglong didn't succeed enough and he didn't find out so quickly."

"However, if my guess is correct, he should have told my second brother about my appearance at the North Gate when King Yan came to Beijing."

"If he can't even check this, then he's really a loser!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said confidently.

He knew Li Jinglong very well. If it weren't for him, Zhu Yunwen would not have lost so quickly and miserably after he became emperor.

A person who fights repeatedly and loses again and again, and finally opens the city gate and surrenders to the enemy, will not achieve much success.

"It turns out that when King Yan entered the capital that day, you deliberately passed by the north gate just to make it look like a chance encounter? And now you let the second emperor and his grandson find out? To confuse the public?"

Hongyuan was stunned for a moment and finally understood. She had been confused about this that day.

Layout is like playing chess. If you don't have the ability to take one step and see ten moves, you will only end in failure.

"If a dog bites a dog, even if he really finds out that I am a threat to him in the future, he should always have someone to back him up."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said meaningfully.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's answer, Hongyuan understood it completely, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of unabashed admiration in her eyes when she looked at Zhu Yunxi...
