Destiny in this life: Sisterly love is deep and dreams are sweet

The Queen Mother on the jade steps has been paying attention to Princess Kang Le and Xu Jingzhan, looking at these two people, they seem to be a perfect match.

"Queen Mother, Kang Le and Prince Rong are indeed a perfect match."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "That's right! A Yi has good vision and has found a good consort for Kang Le."

Lu Wanxi listened at the side and smiled. This marriage was just an attempt by Murong Yi to win over Duke Rong Guo.

The Duke of Rongguo has been living a life of peace and harmony with the world since many years ago, and rarely interferes with the affairs of the government.

Duke Rong Guo went to court every day and was almost a transparent person.

This Xu Jingzhan even pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger, becoming a famous playboy in Yujing City.

All this is because of a coup many years ago.

At that time, Murong Yi and the others were not born yet, and the current Empress Dowager was still just the Crown Princess at that time.

The emperor at that time was Murong Yi's great-grandfather Emperor Gaozong.

The wife of Duke Rongguo at that time was Princess Xuanyang, the biological sister of Emperor Gaozong.

After the death of Emperor Gaozong, the eldest princess Xuanyang was revered as the eldest princess Xuanyang. She had been dead for many years. Before her death, she specifically told the descendants of the Xu family not to interfere too much in the government affairs, to stay away from right and wrong, and to protect themselves prudently.

Today's Rong Guogong is the grandson of Princess Xuanyang, and Xu Jingzhan is the great-grandson of Princess Xuanyang.

The husband of Princess Xuanyang died in the coup that year. After her husband's death, the eldest princess Xuanyang supported the entire Rongguo Palace, raised her sons to adulthood, and taught them carefully. The Rongguo Palace also regained its former prosperity.

But she could not forget why her husband died, and she always warned her descendants not to interfere too much in government affairs, let alone get involved in partisan disputes.

For this reason, for many years, although the Duke of Rongguo had officials and titles, he was inconspicuous in the court. He only did his job well and never interfered in other matters.

However, the ancestors of the Rongguo Duke were, after all, the founding heroes of the country. Although they did not interfere too much in the government affairs, the power of the Xu family could not be ignored.

As for Xu Jingzhan, although he was indeed a bit playful, he was still quite capable, and Murong Yi also wanted to reuse him.

This time to purge Chao Gang, what Murong Yi has to do now is to train his confidants.

Among the ministers in the court, Murong Yi didn't have many confidants. Xu Jingzhan would inherit the title in the future, so Murong Yi wanted to betroth Kang Le to him.

After Lu Wanxi learned about this, she no longer felt strange.

It's just that Xu Jingzhan and Princess Kang Le probably haven't released their fifth server yet! But it’s not considered a consanguineous marriage, and it’s not within three generations, so there’s nothing wrong with it.

After the palace banquet, Lu Yanhua and Murong Yu left the palace and got on the carriage back home.

Murong Jun fell asleep in Murong Yu's arms. Although today was New Year's Eve, it was too cold, so he didn't take Murong Qi out.

Murong Yu told her about the Rongguo Duke's palace, and then Lu Yanhua understood why Murong Yi wanted to betroth Princess Kangle to Xu Jingzhan.

"So this is ah!"

"Ok!"

"Then what happened when the palace changed?"

Murong Yu said: "These are old things. Why do you ask this?"

"Curious!"

"It's not a big deal. At that time, my great-grandfather's younger brother, King Yong, was not willing to be subordinate to others, so he launched a palace coup. This is most normal. The husband of the eldest princess Xuanyang died in that palace coup. "

Lu Yanhua lamented in her heart that royal fratricide was something that happened every generation.

"Ugh!"

"what happened?"

"I just think the throne is really tempting!"

"What you said is both right and wrong. I can be tempted by the throne."

"Too."

"The wedding date of Kang Le and Prince Rong is only a few days away. I have thought carefully about it and decided to give him a big gift."

Murong Yu also thought that he wanted to give him a big gift. "Think slowly and don't rush."

"Ah."

Weiyang Palace

After Lu Wanxi and Murong Yi came back, the wet nurses took Murong Chen and Murong Heng to the side hall.

Lu Wanxi took another look at Murong Jue and Murong Mei. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she returned to the dormitory without disturbing them.

Gardenia comes in and removes her makeup.

Lu Wanxi sat in front of the dressing table. After removing her makeup, Gardenia withdrew.

Murong Yi walked up behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "It's getting late, go to bed peacefully!"

"Ah."

Lu Wanxi grabbed his hand and said: "There are not many days left for the wedding between Kang Le and Prince Rong. Kang Le's dowry has been doubled according to your instructions. I also gave her the royal grandmother and queen mother according to the rules. Added some more.”

"Yeah!" His sisters were all his pawns, and they were also meant to make up for it, so Murong Yi gave as much as he could in terms of dowry.

"Wanxi, do you think that I am not a good brother? In order to balance the power, I use my younger brothers and sisters, treating them as pawns and manipulating them at will."

Lu Wanxi had this thought before, but no longer.

He is not an ordinary person, but an emperor. The marriages of princes and princesses are just pawns in his hands.

Everything he did was for the sake of the country and the country.

"No."

"They haven't met each other a few times, and they don't know each other well, so they were given a marriage proposal by me."

"Princes and princesses have been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood, and enjoy honor and wealth that ordinary people cannot enjoy. But these do not come out of thin air, and something must be sacrificed for it. Your Majesty has done nothing wrong."

Murong Yi felt better after hearing this.

"Emperors throughout the ages have been like this."

"Yes!"

Lu Wanxi stood up, turned towards him, took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, and hugged him.

"You did nothing wrong, there is no need to blame yourself."

Because of Lin Wang's incident, Murong Yi felt really guilty, so he thought for a long time about marrying Kang Le, but finally chose to marry her to Xu Jingzhan.

"It's getting late, go to sleep!"

After the Lantern Festival, the palace began to prepare for Princess Kangle's marriage.

Although Princess Kang Le's wedding was not as grand as Princess An Le's wedding, Murong Yi specifically ordered that it must be solemn and that Princess Kang Le should not be treated badly.

In the Shoukang Palace, Princess Kangle looked at the dowry. Inside and outside the palace, there were big red boxes. It was really a red dress.

Her mother-in-law, Concubine Hu, was deeply pleased when she saw this. Her daughter had found a good marriage. As a mother, she was naturally very happy.

"Mother concubine."

"In a few days, you will get married. Although my mother-in-law is reluctant to give up, she is happy from the bottom of her heart when she sees that you have got such a good marriage."

"Mother and concubine, my sons and ministers are afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, Prince Rong is a good man and he will treat you well."

"Prince Rong is the great-grandson of Princess Xuanyang. According to his seniority, you should call him cousin."
