I was a salted fish in ancient times

Xiao Shan always knew that Concubine Lan was dissatisfied with Xie Zhui, but he never thought that she would be dissatisfied to this extent.

He and Xie Zhuiman had only been married for three months, and she couldn't wait for him to make a side concubine.This is not dissatisfaction with Xie Zhui, but hate him to the bone.

With Concubine Lan's attitude towards Xie Zhui, if he had such a naughty personality and had a slight prejudice against Xie Zhui in his heart, then Xie Zhui's life in Prince Li's Mansion would be worse than that of ordinary servants.

Fortunately, the person Xie Zhui met was him, so he wouldn't be bullied into that situation.Just thinking of Concubine Lan's temper, Xiao Shan sighed, and couldn't tell whether Xie Zhui's fate was good or bad.

Xiao Sheng saw Xiao Shan's eyes widened in surprise and wondered, and then there was no other sound.

He couldn't help frowning, and said, "Why don't you talk." Whether you have an idea or not, you have to say something, what does it mean to open your mouth and not say anything.

Xiao Shan wiped his face and said weakly, "I'm so surprised that I don't know what to say."

Xiao Sheng frowned even tighter, he always felt that Xiao Shan's words meant that this matter was too bad, and he didn't know what to say.It's just that because he and Concubine Lan are elders, it's hard to say this.

When Xiao Sheng thought that he had become an understood role in Xiao Shan's place, he felt rather depressed, as if he was being unreasonable.Xiao Sheng tried his best to calm down his tone: "Your mother and concubine are already looking for candidates for you, I just want to ask you what kind of person you like, so that I can help you pay attention when choosing someone in the future."

Xiao Shan was surprised and shocked, he sized Xiao Sheng up, and said with a strange expression: "Father, this minister is going to have a side concubine just after getting married, according to your temperament, you shouldn't call him arrogant Ambitious? Why did you agree so easily to accept the side concubine?"

A vein twitched on Xiao Sheng's forehead, and fire rose from the depths of his eyes: "In your heart, I'm such a stupid person, can't I manage everything in your room?"

Xiao Shan didn't want to really make him angry, so he rushed to the fire: "Father, this son-in-law didn't mean that. My son-in-law was just depressed. It took only so long for my son-in-law and Xie Zhui to get married. Thinking of accepting a side concubine for my son. If you don't object, father, you must agree, but now my son really doesn't have such thoughts."

"Back when I married Xie Zhui, Erchen said that if I was not satisfied, I would not marry. Now that Erchen and Xie Zhui have just become a little familiar from strangers, why do you want to insert someone else between us? Erchen's eyes Now it grows on Xie Zhui, and I can't see anyone else."

Xiao Sheng knew that what Xiao Shan said was true, he thought back then that Concubine Lan put someone on his bed, and wanted him to know about the personnel affairs and get married as soon as possible.

Xiao Shan just let go, don't force him in this regard, even if he becomes a eunuch, he will not be persecuted.

Xiao Sheng was so shocked by his words at that time that his mind flew away, the dignified prince actually said such words.

He deliberately tried to test Xiao Shan, but he was afraid that his temper would really get things out of hand, and Xiao Jin was always there to speak good things for Xiao Shan.In the end, he gave up and let Xiao Shan go about the marriage.

When Xiao Sheng was in a good mood, he also asked Xiao Shan what kind of person he wanted to marry.

Xiao Shan said that if a person with a good personality pleases him, it is fine.

Back then when he bestowed Xie Zhui on Xiao Shan, he made the decision after careful consideration.For Xie Zhui, if he doesn't deal with it, it will easily lead to disagreements in the court. If he is dealt with too severely, it will easily make the border soldiers feel cold.

To give him a marriage also needs to find a suitable person, Xiao Sheng thought and thought, pondered and pondered before he finally settled on Xiao Shan who is not yet married.

First of all, let's not mention the fact that Xie Zhui concealed his brother's identity and went to war. Xie Zhui is not bad.And Xiao Shan is old enough, he hasn't done things so extreme in the past two years, and the marriage is easier to succeed.

Secondly, Xiao Shan has always agreed with Xiao Jin, the prince, and attaches great importance to Xiao Jin. His marriage with Xie Zhui is also the most beneficial to Xiao Jin, the prince.

Of course there were other messy things, but in the end Xiao Shan didn't object to the marriage.

After getting married, Xie Zhui was very satisfied with his appearance.

But Concubine Lan cried and cried with him yesterday, she didn't cry about the bastard news she heard outside the palace, but talked about the matter with her children.

Concubine Lan said that Xie Zhui is a decent person, and it is suitable to be Xiao Shan's righteous emperor, but it is too difficult for the younger brother to give birth. If Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui have no children, they will be easily criticized by the world.So she wanted to give Xiao Shanna two side concubines, and when the side concubine gave birth to a child, she would directly adopt Xie Zhui.

Xiao Sheng could find thousands of reasons for the marriage between Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui, but it was about heirs, so he had to be cautious.

Don't be afraid of everything, just in case.

This is also the biggest reason why he deliberately kept Xiao Shan here today.

Facing the outspoken Xiao Shan at this moment, Xiao Sheng brought up the issue of his heir.

Xiao Shan immediately frowned when he heard this: "Father, heirs are a gift from God, and you can't force them. The more you force the more you will not get them, just relax and let nature take its course."

Besides, when he thinks that Xie Zhui will have a baby, his mood is quite complicated, okay?It's not that he has to have a child. As he is, if he doesn't have a child, is he afraid that no one will worship him after death?

Xiao Sheng could guess most of his thoughts but couldn't guess this amazing little part.

Xiao Shan's words that children let nature take its course also hinted at the matter between Xiao Jin and the princess Liu Jingyi.Xiao Jin and Liu Jingyi have been married longer than them. Isn't Liu Jingyi only pregnant now?

Xiao Shan is not good at talking about this kind of thing directly, so he can only say it implicitly.

Xiao Sheng naturally understood his hint, but Xiao Sheng wanted to say that Xie Zhui was different from Liu Jingyi.

As a younger brother, Xie Zhui is doomed to have a difficult heir, Liu Jingyi has a relatively high chance of conceiving a child, and Xie Zhui may not be able to have a child in his entire life.

It's just that it's hard for Xiao Sheng to say this kind of thing too bluntly, after all, it's about the Crown Princess, so it's inconvenient for him to mention too much.

Seeing Xiao Shan's reluctance, he asked, "You really don't want to accept the side concubine?"

Xiao Shan nodded abruptly: "Father, it is enough for my son to have someone in charge of the backyard. If there are too many people, it will be too noisy, and my son will not be able to enjoy it."

Xiao Sheng: "..." Is this saying that there are too many people in his harem?

In fact, Xiao Shan really didn't think so, he just said it casually.

Xiao Sheng wanted to think too much, but he couldn't help it.

Xiao Sheng saw Xiao Shan's resolute unwillingness to accept the concubine's attitude, so he was silent for a while and took a step back: "This matter cannot be decided in a short while, you should think about it first, in case It’s really interesting in the future.”

Xiao Shan hurriedly said: "Father, don't let me worry about it, my son has already thought about it, please let my mother and concubine stop worrying about this matter, so that in the future, my son and my mother will not make trouble because of this matter." stand up."

What he said was the truth. If Concubine Lan insisted on doing this, he would definitely not be willing to do so, and the two sides would definitely make a mess.It's better to take advantage of Concubine Lan's idea and the emperor cut it off completely in one fell swoop, so as not to involve too much in the future.

Xiao Sheng glanced at him, and Xiao Shan dared to say such disobedient words in front of his face.

No other two, including the prince, would dare.

Xiao Shan understood Xiao Sheng's eyes, and smiled dryly, his temperament is just like this, and there is no way to change it.

Xiao Shan really didn't want to, and it was impossible for Xiao Sheng to hold his head down to accept the side concubine.

He has already pressed Xie Zhui's matter once, and it would be too unfair to Xiao Shan to do it again.

So he said: "Since you are not happy in your heart, go and ask your concubine mother to leave the palace." The implication is that he will talk about Concubine Lan himself.

Xiao Shan was satisfied with his words, saluted and left.

His back disappeared behind Qianming Palace, Xiao Sheng sighed, and said quietly: "What do you think this child is thinking? Speaking of setting up a side concubine is like asking him to set up a snake and a scorpion."

At this time, Chang Le was the only one serving in the hall, but he had no way to answer these words, so he could only pretend that he was standing far away and did not hear them.

Xiao Sheng knew that Chang Le was an old fox, it was impossible to answer such a sensitive question.

The emperor felt a little lonely at this moment, and there was no one in the huge palace who could tell the truth.

Xiao Shan dared to say that the emperor just didn't know if he dared to ask him, he was afraid of being pissed off by Xiao Shan's answer.

***

When Xiao Shan went to Jinglan Palace, Concubine Lan had already summoned Xie Zhui into the palace.

When Concubine Lan heard that the emperor had left Xiao Shan behind, she immediately sent someone to Prince Li's Mansion.

This time when Concubine Lan saw Xie Zhui, she didn't use those little tricks to embarrass him, but asked straight to the point if it was true that Xie Zhui was being watched.

Xie Zhui did not deny it.

Concubine Lan looked angry, and then thought about what she wanted to say, she managed to suppress her anger, and said with red eyes: "I don't care about things outside the palace and I don't want to care about them, but Shan'er is my son, I think Let him live a happy life without being hurt by the rumors. I plan to give Shan'er two side concubines to help you share some of the internal affairs of Prince Li's mansion. The second is to give Shan'er an heir. I am already choosing candidates. This matter So it's settled."

Xie Zhui: "..."

Xie Zhui took a deep breath: "Mother Concubine, I do not agree."
