The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

After sending Lao Wu out of the palace, Xue Yao and Lao Liu went to Nansan San.

"A while ago I heard that Prince Rui arranged a marriage for you, but you declined it." Xue Yao looked sideways at Nuan Baobao curiously.

The sixth child has just turned 20 this year, and his temperament is still as reserved as when he was a child. He hides many things in his heart and refuses to say them.

Xue Yao was afraid that he already had someone he liked in his heart, and because he didn't say it, the marriage would be ruined.

"Yeah." Lao Liu nodded solemnly: "I told my elder brother not to worry about me, I don't want to get married for the time being."

"Yes, you are still young." Xue Yao said.

The sixth child raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe I don't want to get married when I get older. Doesn't the second brother not want to get married? Can I also practice Taoism?"

"Why do you have such an idea?"

"Why do you have to get married? Which girl does Ah Yao want me to marry?" The sixth child looked at Xue Yao inquiringly.

"It's not that I want you to get married." Xue Yao said, "I'm worried that you already have someone in mind, and it's inconvenient to speak."

"Oh?" Lao Liu turned his head to look at Xue Yao, pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were bent like very thin crescents, and joked half-truthfully, "Did you see through?"

"Really?!" Xue Yao opened his eyes wide: "Then why didn't you tell your elder brother directly? Your mother and concubine don't help you out now, so you can only rely on..."

"Do you have to marry the person you like? If you marry him, will it violate the etiquette?" The sixth child looked at Xue Yao seriously.

"What violates the etiquette?" Xue Yao frowned and said, "Is she a lowly person?"

"No." A trace of disappointment flashed in Lao Liu's eyes.

"Then what are you worried about?" Xue Yao said anxiously: "How old is she? If you say it late, maybe she will get married first!"

"It doesn't matter how old you are, I know it won't work, and it's up to him, so I plan to practice Taoism with my second brother, is that okay?"

"Is it okay, you have to try it to know!"

"That's why you want me to get married?"

"No, if you were as pure and ascetic as His Majesty, I would naturally not worry about your marriage, but now you have someone in mind, how can you be so hesitant. If you miss it, you will regret being alone forever."

The sixth child pursed his lips and laughed, Xue Yao's delicate face was reflected in his eyes as bright as a deer: "Is this king going to die alone? Ah Yao doesn't want me anymore?"

"That's not what I meant." Xue Yao frowned and said, "Your Highness and I..."

"It's enough to have your words." Lao Liu interrupted him with a smile: "If you have a confidant in life, you will not be lonely."

Xue Yao has been thinking about Nuan Baobao's words since he left the palace.

What is this kid thinking?

But having said that, he is one and a half years older than Nuan Baobao, and he is not married himself, so how can he have the right to worry about other people's life-long events?

Marriage is a very strange thing. When we were far away in the past, we had all kinds of beautiful fantasies, but when we were in front of our eyes, we felt indescribable anxiety and rejection.

Grandfather Zhou Chong and mother Zhou Rui were often worried about his marriage, and he declined all the people who planned to be a matchmaker because he was busy with business.

What is he afraid of?

It seems that Xue Yao found out that his love for the girl stopped at admiration and curiosity when he faced A Zhu's admiring gaze. He had never experienced the sparks and chemical reactions he had seen in previous romance films.

His soulmate has not yet appeared.

Back at the Zhou Mansion, the servants hurriedly asked Xue Yao to see the master.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his grandfather frowned and said: "Let's go immediately and go see the old lady of the Xue family."

Xue Yao's grandmother is critically ill.

When he was eight years old, the old lady who was protected by him in the monastery, the only elder in the Xue family who favored him, was about to come to an end.

"How could it be so sudden?"

"When you are old, things are unpredictable. The old lady fell and woke up, unable to move half of her body."

It's a stroke.

Xue Yao hurried to Xue's mansion, and was hurriedly led to the main courtyard by his servants.

There were many people standing inside and outside Xue's house. Seeing Xue Yao's arrival, some people were hostile, some were contemptuous, and more people were polite and even gave him a way.

Uncle Xue's family is a high official in the imperial court, so he naturally knows that King Ning may ascend the throne at any time, and everyone in Xue's residence also knows that Xue Yao is King Ning's favorite companion.

In the face of power, all hatred can be resolved, depending on whether you can put down your face and self-esteem.

When Xue Yao's grandfather cleared his grievances and returned to serve in the cabinet, Zhou Rui used his father's authority to separate himself from the Xue family and took his son away.

Because Xue Yao was young at the time, the Xue family didn't bear much grudge against him, they just erased Xue Yao from the Xue family tree just to disgust Zhou Chong.

This is the most unwise thing the Xue family has done. God knows that Feng Shui will take turns, and now it is on that eccentric King Ning!

Now this Xue Yao is really an existence that can turn hands over clouds and rain over hands. Who doesn't know that Xiao Ning Wang listens to this little companion's advice the most?

Uncle Xue's family used to be a princeling, and he worked hard for half his life, but he was overtaken by Xue Yao riding King Ning's black horse. It really didn't feel good in his heart.

King Ning has a character that cannot be flattered, and they can't figure it out at all.

The uncle of the Xue family wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Xue Yao. When he saw Xue Yao was let in, he went up to Xue Yao and held Xue Yao's hand crying: "My nephew is here, the old lady just called you name."

Xue Yao didn't bother to be polite to him, so he walked quickly to the edge, knelt down on one knee, and looked at the old man on the bed.

He used to visit the old lady often, but because of the fight between the third prince and the crown prince, everyone was in danger. As a close friend of the prince, he didn't dare to cause trouble for the Xue family, and he hadn't visited the old lady for half a year.

I didn't expect the old man to change so quickly. The last time we met, he was still in good spirits, with gray hair, but now he has...

Xue Yao had a sore nose, and tears dripped down on the bedding beside the bed.

He looked at the old lady's sleepy face like a dead wood for a moment, expecting her to open her eyes and hear his apology, and hoped not to disturb her sleep, so that she could recover her spirit and restore her health.

He had extended the life of the old lady by more than ten years, and only he knew about it.

But the old lady seemed to feel something in the dark, and used her extra ten years of life to pamper him, the concubine grandson, wholeheartedly.

Even when the third prince was extremely powerful and framed his grandfather Zhou Chong, it was the old lady of the Xue family who resisted all opinions and sent a letter asking Xue Yao to return to the Xue family, lest Zhou Chong be framed and convicted, and her good grandson Xue Yao would be implicated.

"Old lady... her grandson is unfilial..." Xue Yao couldn't hold back his heartache any longer and burst into tears.

The uncle comforted him side by side: "The old lady usually brags about her good nephew in front of us, and now her good nephew has a bright future, so how can you say that you are not filial? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a glorious family. If you can support the family more in the future Colleagues, don't let the old lady go wrong..."

Xue Yao wanted to cover his ears.

I don't understand how his own son can be busy paving the way for his official career when his mother is about to die.

A meeting between grandparents and grandchildren that seems to be noisy but actually dead.

In the end, Xue Yao didn't wait until the old lady woke up, nor heard a single word of farewell.

The old lady died in a lethargic sleep.

When I used to watch movies, I used to joke about the lines that people in the movies couldn’t finish saying before they died, maybe I could save them if I had this skill.

Now it's my turn to know how cruel it is to not even say goodbye.

Death is not a harsh punishment for the dead. The backlash it brings will be attached to the living, making the living regret their past mistakes repeatedly, but they can never make up for it.

The uncle of the Xue family took the initiative to find a way for Xue Yao to make up for it, and the price was very clear-he wanted his eldest son, the eldest grandson of the Xue family, to get a fat job as the censor of the Huaihe River next year.

Daqi's patrol salt censor has no rank, not a fixed number of people, and it changes every year. Every year, it is appointed by the emperor and belongs to the imperial envoy.

One year in office is enough to enrich the pockets of several generations, and it can also open up official paths. It will not be a dream for the governor-general in the future.

In normal times, when someone made such a request to Xue Yao, he would just sneer in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he would say that he had no official position.

Now that his grandmother died of illness suddenly and he couldn't make up for it, he actually really considered the possibility of supporting the Xue family to repay his grandmother.

He needs some time to calm down and shake off his guilt before he can sort this out.

Xue Yao is self-aware. Frankly speaking, it's not that he is unsuitable for officialdom, but he just doesn't like it.

Once this kind of thing gets mixed up, he becomes the backer of a certain faction's henchmen, and he can't even clean it up.

If Xue's parents and grandsons come out on top, and one day they go astray again and are impeached by the officials, Xue Yao will definitely be the part of the interest group that will be uprooted at that time.

So this kind of thing is not a small favor that can be given at will.

Even if Lu Qian may really listen to him, even if Lu Qian will try his best to protect him after the accident, isn't this forcing Long Aotian to the road of Hunjun?

Why should Lu Qian pay for his guilt towards his grandmother?

Therefore, after asking for leave from the palace, Xue Yao tactfully rejected the uncle's request after his grandmother's first seven days.

This time it's a hornet's nest.

A few days ago, the Xue family, who had kneeled and licked him as their own grandfather, changed their faces overnight.

Before Shou Xiao was afraid that his knees would be injured or that the draft would freeze him, but now he is not afraid, and purposely found him a non-elastic futon for him to kneel on.

The old man, the uncle, and his own father were still calm, treated him neither humble nor overbearing, and threatened him obliquely, to stab King Ning in his unfilial piety to the Xue family.

Xue Yao listened with no expression on his face, but actually found it quite funny in his heart.

The spread of these rumors may indeed bring trouble to him. After all, filial piety was valued in ancient times. His mother Zhou Rui used to be a concubine of the Xue family. He, the grandson of the Xue family, refused to help the clansmen. If he said it, he would definitely be stabbed in the back .

But Lu Qian doesn't care about these messy rules. He always thinks that Xue Yao moved from Xue's house to Zhou's house just because Xiaobandu prefers to live with his grandfather.

That's enough, as long as Lu Qian doesn't misunderstand him.

When Xue Yao came home, Xue Qiong caught up and asked him to take a step to talk.

This domineering brother who used to compete with him for food has now married. Eight years ago, he was dumped by the prince because he could not keep up with his studies. The future of the unpromising official is gloomy.

He didn't speak, Xue Yao had already guessed what he wanted to say, wanted him to be recommended to King Ning, this was the only way for him to become an official.

Xue Yao politely declined after hearing him finish his chatter.

Xue Qiong's eyes changed, she lowered her head and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket, and showed it to Xue Yao with a fierce look.

Xue Yao didn't realize what he was holding for a while, and it was only when he retracted his sleeves like a baby that he remembered that it was a small piece of wrapping paper for milk fudge candy...

It should be a small piece of wrapping paper that drifted away when it was burned that year. I don't know where Xue Qiong found it, and it has been hidden for ten years.

"Brother Qiong, what do you mean?" Xue Yao deliberately pretended not to understand.

Xue Qiong sneered: "You know what you mean. My mother has already seen that you are capable of witchcraft. Back then, you purposely defected to King Ning. What was your intention? If King Ning knew about these shady things you did..."

"Brother, you are really joking. What does the thing in your hand have to do with me? If you take this thing to King Ning and frame me, what will happen? I advise you to think about it carefully." After finishing speaking, Xue Yao sneered With a sound, he waved his sleeves and left.

Back at Zhou's mansion, he saw the concierge dancing disco from a long distance away, and frantically waved and nodded at him, telling him to go faster.

Xue Yao wondered what happened in the mansion again?

He hurried over and asked, only to find out that King Ning had come out of the palace to look for him.

After the concierge finished talking to him, he suddenly knelt down with a "plop", which startled Xue Yao.

After asking, I found out that the concierge had just offended King Ning.

King Ning did not bring a guard with him when he left the palace, so he asked the porter if this was the residence of Zhou Chong, the cabinet secretary.

The concierge almost cried when he said it: "I have never seen a son or a phoenix. You are such a young man, and he calls our master by his name when he comes up. Can I have a good face? Master, you have to beg for mercy." Nah!"

This fucking is the future Long Live Lord!

The concierge felt that after King Ning returned to the palace, he would be dragged to the Meridian Gate by the royal guards to be killed.

Xue Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked the concierge a little nervously: "You are not vicious, Your Highness?"

Lu Qian is a very vengeful guy, if his attitude is too outrageous, the concierge may really get into trouble.
