such as Yue Linyuan

Si Yuanting felt very absurd. He never thought that although he didn't let Chu Yuelei touch him again, he still let Si Zhuxi be hurt by Chu Yuelei again, let alone that Si Zhuxi would be pregnant with Chu Yuelei offspring.

Si Zhuxi is going to give birth to this child, even if it is Si Zhuxi's child, a relative of the Si family's blood, but can he really treat this child without any grudges?

Maybe, maybe not.

But before that, what made him feel even more absurd was Si Zhuxi's request.

It turns out that some things really have a reason, and all the debts will eventually be repaid, but I don't know whether what is repaid is what the living people really want.

Si Yuanting suddenly burst out laughing. Chu Yuezhi hadn't recovered yet, when he heard Si Yuanting laughing out loud, he was stunned for a moment, then stood up and looked at him in astonishment: "Si Jiu, why are you laughing?"

Shaking his head, Si Yuanting raised his hand to rest his forehead, with sad eyes and tears in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice: "How ironic, the former emperor hated his father and couldn't tolerate the Si family, but now Zhuxi is pregnant with the Chu family and the Si family." A child of blood, if this child really succeeds one day in the future, then the first emperor himself gave the Daheng Kingdom to the Si family. Hundreds of lives of the Si family were exchanged for this world. Do you think it is worth it or not? value?"

Chu Yuezhi was speechless.

The cycle of cause and effect, the cause planted by the first emperor, finally bears fruit many years later.At that time, who would have thought that one day the Daheng Kingdom might not only belong to the Chu family, but also belong to the Si family.

"The Chu family owes the Si family, and it's okay to repay it in this way." Chu Yuezhi said, and he turned to look at Si Zhuxi, "The people of the Si family are also the people of the Daheng Kingdom. It should belong to the common people, not a surname. But Zhuxi, I can't promise you."

Si Zhuxi was not surprised by his answer, and asked calmly: "Why?"

"If you are willing to give birth to this child, this king will treat it as his own and teach him carefully, but whether he will be established as the crown prince and let him inherit the great line depends on whether he has the qualifications, whether he can put the people in his heart, and Do you have the ability to take on the responsibility of being the king of a country?" Chu Yuezhi didn't give up because he was Chu Yuelei's heir, in fact he knew very well that he would not have an offspring, so he had already planned in his heart, "You should know , this king and Si Jiu are destined to have no heirs. From the very beginning, this king intends to choose a child who has the qualifications of a king from the side branch of the Chu family to be the heir to be the crown prince. Now that Chu Yuelei is offering marriage, if you want to marry This king is his wife, and the child will be the son of this king when he is born in the future. It is a legitimate royal bloodline. This king will not dislike him because he is the heir of Chu Yuelei, but he will not favor him because he has the blood of the Si family. Because this matter is related to the country and the people, it must not be decided hastily because of one's own selfishness. Therefore, no matter whose child it is, the Chu family or the Si family, even if it is the king's own son, the king will treat him equally. It will be passed on to those who have people in their hearts.”

"Zhuxi understands." Si Zhuxi arranged his clothes and sat down again, then looked at Si Yuanting and asked, "Cousin, what do you mean?"

Si Yuanting suppressed his excitement for a while while Chu Yuezhi was speaking, and when Chu Yuezhi reached out to hold his hand, he also restrained his gaffe. Facing Si Zhuxi's question at this moment, Si Yuanting Yuan Ting didn't intend to say more, just replied: "What I mean, don't you understand?"

Gently nodding his head, Si Zhuxi smiled lightly, and said: "The ancestors of the Si family taught that all descendants of the Si family must put the people first, be loyal and unyielding, surrender themselves to the Lord, and die as a national mourning."

The Si family will never harm the interests of the people and the country for their own selfishness until their death.

So for so many years, no matter how much Si Yuanting hated him, he never forgot his responsibilities as a member of the Si family. Even though he was burdened with blood and hatred and humiliation, he always put the people first and the country first.

"Actually, Zhuxi didn't expect that Prince An would agree to Zhuxi's request." Si Zhuxi has never been an unreasonable person, and she also knew that neither Si Yuanting nor Chu Yuezhi would agree. Her promise is because these two people are not as selfish as Chu Yuelei and the first emperor, "It's just that Zhuxi feels that this child has the blood of the Si family. If he can grow up under the guidance of Prince An and his cousin, he may not be so Can't be the Chosen One."

"With a mother like you who is both talented and beautiful, this king also believes that this child, regardless of gender, will definitely be a plastic talent. In short, after this child is born, if it is a boy, whether it can become a prince in the end depends on him; If it is a daughter, this king will never underestimate it, and if he wants to worship as a female official in the future, it is not impossible. In the long history of thousands of years, such heroines have already appeared, such as Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty and female official Shangguan Wan'er, Nanming female general Qin Liangyu, it can be seen that no matter how difficult it is, someone will eventually do it." Chu Yuezhi didn't care too much about whether the child in Si Zhuxi's womb was a man or a daughter, in his opinion, both men and women are equally good , can also become a useful talent.He never underestimated women, because Shao Fu once told him the history of Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty, and before he left the palace and entered the camp at the age of 17, he even read the records of the female general Qin Liangyu in "History of Ming Dynasty" and "History of Southern Ming Dynasty" And left a deep memory.

There are many famous women recorded in "Biography of Martyrs" in the past dynasties, but Qin Liangyu, a female general of the Nanming Dynasty, was the only one who became a famous general as a woman. During her lifetime, she was named the second-rank wife because of her outstanding military exploits. A heroine who is "Marquis of Loyalty" and has been recorded in the official history and will be biographyed separately.

Women are never inferior to men, and he has always been very aware of this, so he cannot accept those words and deeds that abduct and traffic women, treat women as reproductive tools, and trample on women's personality.

"Zhuxi, I hope you can set an example, let your children, and let the world see that women are also capable and should be respected. We must not only change the situation of women in a weak position, but also let women unite themselves. Get up, let your mind be promoted and liberated. Just like your help to Si Jiu over the years, and just like the sobriety when you just confessed that you are pregnant with Chu Yuelei's heir, this child is your child first, and then the blood of the Si family. Whether you are born or not is up to you." Chu Yuezhi's voice sank, if it weren't for the teachings of Shao Fu and Si Yuanting when he was young, and the record of seeing the female general Qin Liangyu before entering the military camp, maybe he would be the same A pedantic person who is insensitive to some unfair things.He also knows that it takes a long time to change his mind, and the change he hopes to see now may not be realized until the day he dies, but at least he and the people who are by his side can be that beginning together .

Bowing her head and stroking her lower abdomen with her hands, Si Zhuxi remained silent for a long time. She thought a lot. After the Si family collapsed suddenly, the female relatives who were not slaves of officials and entered the Jiaofang Division, their fate as women was like that Drifting, it seems that once she loses her support, there is only one path left to be trampled, but she does not believe in fate, let alone accept fate.

Looking up at Chu Yuezhi again, Si Zhuxi said: "Zhuxi is willing to marry Prince An as his wife, and the fetus in her womb will be born after Prince An in the future. In this way, Prince An has both the right wife and the bright side. Presumably, Prince An and his cousin will have a better path in the future."

Chu Yuezhi and Si Yuanting looked at each other, and then solemnly said to Si Zhuxi: "Chu Yuezhi, thank Miss Si here."

Si Zhuxi chuckled and shook his head, this Chu Yuezhi was really just like her cousin, she could know the closeness and the seriousness of the matter just by hearing her pronoun.

"You don't have to thank me, as long as Zhuxi calls Wangye "husband" in the future, the prince can protect Zhuxi, and don't let Zhuxi be overwhelmed by his cousin's jealousy. The prince can always agree to this small request, right?" Si While talking, Zhuxi's eyes fell on Si Yuanting's face. Her cousin showed such obvious possessiveness towards Chu Yuezhi. Thinking of calling Chu Yuezhi her husband in front of him in the future, she was really a little bit Back chills.

Chu Yuezhi let out a low "ah", turned to look at Si Yuanting, but saw that he was looking at him with cold eyes, and suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

Sure enough, Si Yuanting hugged Chu Yuezhi's waist and hugged him a little tighter, and with a hook on the corner of his lips, there was a faint smile that made Chu Yuezhi's heart shudder, and he said as if he didn't care: You don't need to seek Chu Qi's protection now, after all, I won't collect debts from you when the time comes."

Each injustice has its own head, and each debt has its own owner.Chu Yuezhi couldn't understand what Si Yuanting's words meant, his face was already pale and now he wanted to cry without tears, after all, he would have to bear everything alone after all.

Five days later, Emperor Chu Yuelei decreed an amnesty for Si Zhuxi, the female family member of the Si family who was imprisoned because of the late emperor's punishment of Si Laoshangshu, and gave her to Prince An, Chu Yuezhi, as Prince An's concubine.

Prince An, Chu Yuezhi, took the decree to thank Si Zhuxi, and asked the decree to marry Si Zhuxi with three letters and six ceremonies, ten miles of red makeup, Fengxia wearing a crown, and eight large sedan chairs.Emperor Chu Yuelei agreed to his request, and specially authorized the eunuch Si Yuanting to be the marriage partner.

There was a lot of discussion about this matter in the capital. Prince An, Chu Yuezhi, made many achievements in battle for many years, until he built a border defense line and returned to the court. Although he did not do anything more in the past three years, he still had a few months ago because of Fang Knowing the Li case, the reputation plummeted. However, recently, Prince An has been running back and forth for major cases involving the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, and frequently put forward advice that is beneficial to the people. His reputation has recovered and even become stronger than before.At this time, the emperor Chu Yuelei ordered him to marry the family members of the guilty ministers as his concubine, and anyone could see the obvious intention of suppression.

Soon, Si Zhuxi was sent out of the palace to temporarily live in the Governor's Mansion. Three days later, the royal family sent envoys and officials from the Ministry of Rituals to the Governor's Mansion in a "carriage" and guard of honor, and under the witness of Si Yuanting, Si Zhuxi was canonized as a concubine .

After Si Zhuxi was canonized, Prince An's Mansion immediately began to decorate the mansion for the upcoming wedding ceremony.
