Old and Beautiful in the Red Chamber

Seeing Situ Xi, the elder didn't dare to recognize him for a moment, the old boy couldn't tell he was the emperor by his clothes at all!What's wrong with ten fingers covered with jewel rings?What's the matter with the beard?Only then did the Elder remember that Situ Xi liked to dress up behind people's backs since she was a child. Such a prince, he actually likes to dress up in other professions!Fanbang's exotic clothing is his favorite!He even wears western clothes that are completely different from those around him!In order to dress up more realistically, she even knows how to make up more than ordinary girls—although due to the current fashion, some men who are more handsome can also paint their eyebrows with powder, but it is worse than Situ Xi in the past It's far away—the old man can't help but think of the embarrassing incident of being tricked into wearing women's clothing many years ago because he couldn't beat others in a bet. As a result, this kid pushed him two-five-six, and he was severely spanked by his father as a quirk!But I haven't seen anyone put on makeup for decades, and the old man forgot about it.

"Brother Enhou, isn't it possible that you don't recognize him as a brother?" Situ Xi raised his eyebrows. He is now playing the role of a jeweler, and he even brought some gold and jade playthings for the elder to appreciate.

"Jiu...Jiuye was joking, please hurry up." The old man twisted his face, do you think you are still a child?Play this set?

"Tsk tsk, it's really... small." Situ Xi looked at Jia Amnesty's house with disgust, not to mention comparing it with Ningguo Mansion in the east, or compared with Jia Zheng's house in the west, it was pitifully small!Don't say anything else, just look at the gate, there is a gate and a corner gate, that's grand!There is only one door on Jia She's side.

"..." If you're too young, don't come here!Not a costume jeweler?Which jeweler dares to live in a house of this size in our mansion?Even this third of the Rongguo Mansion is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!The old man said that even if he was upset, he still had to welcome people in with a smile, which was even worse!

Along the way, Situ Xi was picky and picky. He hated all kinds of iron and steel against the old man in his heart. You said that you are the rightful heir, and on the premise that you still hold the handle of the second house, not to mention kicking people out and holding the entire Rongguo Mansion in your hands. Let's go, actually only got this remote corner!It's so useless!It's useless to have the Zhang family as your backer and the emperor to support you. If you mix it up like this, you really lose the face of the eighteen generations of your ancestors!For a while, he felt pitiful, although he didn't feel pain without his mother, but his parents were better than Jia She - at least his father's living expenses would not be less than his place of residence, his mother was peaceful The underworld will never show favoritism, unlike Jia She, who obviously wanted the family to be completely raised as a dandy, and turned around, his father used the son's future as an excuse to train and dote on his youngest son, and his mother wholeheartedly cared about it. Is the youngest son.

The Eldest Master was so picky that he lost his temper. If the other party was not the emperor, he would have had the courage to beat him up long ago!

Situ Xi took his time, and followed others to admire his most proud study room - there were not many books, almost a room full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and deliberately looked more than twice at the few ancient books that people were most nervous about , Satisfied to see Jia She "give" the book to him with trembling hands with a heartbroken face—well, indeed, happiness has to be compared. Seeing Jia She's heartbroken face, Situ Xi's mood is much more relaxed.

Later, in the name of family friends and elders, he met Jia She's three surviving children, and gave them a meeting gift. It was no surprise that Jia She was very nervous.

After staying at someone's house for a long time, after lunch, Situ Xi came back to the palace with Gao Baifu who was also disguised by him and several hidden guards who were secretly protecting him. Go to Zhang Shouli for relief and explanation.

Actually, Situ Xi really didn't mean anything special this time, he just...was in a bad mood.

Seeing that the country is slowly reforming and taking off slowly, and after the court was disturbed, everyone began to retreat and wait and see, not daring to provoke Huangwei at will. Situ Xi thought that life was about to go to the road of prosperity, but turned around and found that her backyard was on fire up...

In fact, it has not reached the level of a fire, at most it is a small flame that will start.

Tian Chaohou. The palace has one empress, two concubines, four concubines, nine concubines, nine concubines each, meaning 27 wives, 81 beauties, and no fixed number of nobles.Unlike the emperor who basically filled the harem with names and titles, Situ Xi's harem has only a dozen or so people so far, and those who are pregnant are enshrined above the concubines with the old people before they ascended the throne. They are all wandering in the middle and low levels.Situ Xi has given birth to four sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Situ Ding, is 21 years old. His mother is Queen Zhao, who is married to the queen's mother's cousin Xiao Zhao. The second prince, Situ Xuan, is fifteen years old. The third prince died before the full moon was born, mother Jiang Concubine; the fourth prince Situ Hong, just a few days old, mother Yun concubine; the eldest daughter Situ Anran, seven years old, mother Wen Concubine; the second daughter Situ Anyue, one year old , Mother Caipin.

There are not many women in the harem, and there are not many children. Besides, the eldest son and the second son are all born by the empress. They are all compatriots from the same mother. There is a gap of more than ten years with the prince below. things are not?And he has always stated that he insists on the heirloom inheritance system!He didn't understand why they could still make trouble!

He is only forty now!His eldest son is only 21, so he can't wait to take over?You must know that the emperor of the Situ family lived longer. Taizong started his army in the middle age, and he was 59 years old when he finally sat on the throne. He either died young or died in the war, so he actually became the head of the family. He was forty-six when he ascended the throne and was 12 when he died. The emperor is the youngest son of Taizong, and the empress of Taizong gave birth to him at the age of 72. If the prince of Taizong had not died in the battle, and the grandson had his leg broken by some prince, he would not be able to be the throne. The eight-year-old emperor is the new crown prince, and the throne is not yet the emperor's turn!The emperor ascended the throne at the age of 53, and served as the emperor Zen throne for 13 years. Now he has been the emperor for five years, and the emperor is still in good health.Situ Xi doesn't think she is short-lived, even if she doesn't live to be seventy or eighty like the previous generation, there will always be sixties, right?To take over at least 56 years ah!It's too early to make friends with foreign ministers and try to take his seat!Even if he didn't love the throne in the past, it doesn't mean he was willing to watch his son grab it!

Well, the eldest prince cannot be blamed for this.It can only be said that the courtiers were appetized by the emperor's benevolence. They didn't know that when choosing an heir, Taizong Taizong's unquestionable, whoever objected to tender death and obedience, was raised by the emperor's tolerance, and was also afflicted by Taiping. It is difficult to reach the sky in one step in the prosperous age, and they are too attached to Conglong Zhigong, which makes them want to get some benefits from the reserve position.Even if there was a tragic disaster in the reign of the emperor, he was still lucky.In addition, Situ Xi's methods are getting tougher now that he has recovered - Situ Xi is not a soft person. In fact, his methods are as cold and hard as his face. It's just that he used to be passive and sabotage, but now he has cheered up , and turned into a domineering emperor and a workaholic—naturally, some people who are used to the emperor not caring about their own affairs are not happy, not to mention that any reform will inevitably damage the interests of some people, and it will come and go , Naturally, some people are eager to change to a master who suits their own wishes.Not only the grown-up eldest prince, but also Situ Xi's adult brothers and nephews, there were also people who came to contact him, but the latter Situ Xi could press it without hesitation, as long as it was his own flesh and blood's turn, it would be difficult to handle.

Situ Xi didn't understand. Yes, he didn't know how to raise children, but he had already worked very hard. He gave them what they wanted, so why did they still deal with him?

The eldest prince Situ Ding is also very desperate!

As I said before, because of Situ Xi's status as the heir-in-law, the emperor has been trying his best to suppress him so as not to threaten the status of the prince. Powerful and powerful, I chose a Queen Zhao whose natal family is not obvious but the official position is still considered from the third rank—the daughter of Zhao’s family who is the Qing of Guanglu Temple—although she is from the third rank, but Guanglu Temple has no power. For matters such as palace birthday banquets, the power of office is small, and a lot of them are taken away by the etiquette department. In fact, it is better than a false title.Among the five temples, only Dali Temple is regarded as the real power faction, and the others have little power!

But Empress Zhao didn't feel that her family was not enough. His father was a Phoenix from a small family, and their family was naturally highly praised by the family. Empress Zhao always thought that she was awesome, even if she was worthy of a crown prince, how could she know? She even matched up with Situ Xi who she thought had no ambition and was just playing around!So Situ Xi vaguely felt that it was right for his eldest wife to look down on him, and Empress Zhao just looked down on Situ Xi!For this reason, after the birth of her eldest son, she took care of the child's education. She didn't really want Situ Xi to interfere in the child's affairs, and she was afraid that those who were led by Si Tu Xi would not seek to make progress.And Situ Xi didn't know how to get along with children, the emperor didn't teach him this, but the crown prince taught him, his eldest wife didn't let him get involved in the children's education!So he just obeyed blindly, giving what he wanted, and if the eldest prince didn't get close to him, he could only watch sadly, and didn't dare to get too close.Later, Empress Zhao was frightened by Situ Xi's "insidious conspiracy" behavior, and even taught the children to stay away from Situ Xi.When the first prince turns sixteen and it's time for his wedding, Situ Xi naturally chooses a bunch of good ones for him, but Queen Zhao doesn't believe him!I also feel that my own home is the best!Even kissing and kissing will definitely help the eldest son!So he encouraged the eldest prince to ask for the little Zhao family. At that time, the eldest prince was still ignorant, and he never thought that his grandfather would abdicate so early. He really became the first prince, and he was taught by Queen Zhao to be very obedient to his mother, so he naturally ran away. I went to Situ Xi to ask, and although Situ Xi felt that Xiao Zhao was not as good as the person she had chosen, after all, the child liked it, and then continued to follow others and married Xiao Zhao to the eldest son.

When Situ Ding became the eldest son of the emperor, his status changed and his mentality changed, he regretted it!What a good bargaining chip a regular wife is, to let him waste it like this!And after all, he was not made the crown prince—his father and grandfather have not been able to look directly at the word "Prince" so far. The prince in their hearts refers to Situ Zhao alone. Although Situ Xi was recognized as the crown prince later, he was not made the prince— —Situ Ding didn't care whether his father expressed or hinted at the heir apparent, he was uneasy without the title of "Prince"!The four words "righteousness and integrity" are very important!Who knows how many sons the father will give birth to in the future, will they rob him?Not to mention that his younger brother is only a few years younger than him!If he does nothing, will he really inherit the throne safely in the future?

Situ Ding has always been uneasy, especially with the birth of a new prince, especially when his younger brother grew up day by day, he became more and more afraid that he would fall into the dust one day, so when someone approached him, Situ Ding didn't think long, and took it away. An olive branch was dropped.

Situ Xi couldn't figure it out. You see, the children of Jia She's family are very filial and friendly. Why did his children want to deal with Lao Tzu at such a young age?It really is too idle!Well, throw all the two children away to practice~
