Chapter 17 Xiao Yan accepts Xiao Zhengde as his adopted son

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yanjin, the assassin of Yongzhou, offered a beautiful woman to you just to confuse you! Confusing your mind. In this way, he can take the opportunity to seize the throne. Didn't Xiao Zhaoye, the deposed emperor of our Qi Kingdom, be seized the throne by the first emperor? Empress Chu said angrily.

"You actually compare me to Xiao Zhaoye, the faint monarch!" Xiao Baojuan said angrily.

He thought to himself: I am the orthodox king of the Qi country. The world of Qi belongs to me alone, so what's wrong with enjoying the world?

I am the Son of Heaven. All the riches of the world are mine.

"Your Majesty, you are: the cub sells Ye Tian and is not distressed. The first emperor overcame all the thorns and thorns, and only then did he get the throne of Qi. Now, Your Majesty, you don't know how to cherish it. You must know that the children of the poor families in the world may only be vassals of the scholars for the rest of their lives. The first emperor gave you the best platform in the world, but you don't know how to cherish it. Queen Chu scolded.

"I am a man of great promise. Didn't you let Xiao Yan go to Yongzhou to defend the Wei State? The Wei army did not dare to go south. It means that I can deter them. Xiao Baojuan boasted.

"That's all Xiao Yan's prestige. If it weren't for him. The state of Wei had already gone south. Does Your Majesty really think that Wei will be afraid of you? Queen Chu scolded.

Xiao Baojuan thought to himself: I didn't expect Xiao Yan's prestige to be so high? The people of Wei are not afraid of me, they are afraid of Xiao Yan!

It seems that Xiao Yan has to get rid of it!

At this moment, the eunuch Xiao Fangzi brought a fold.

He said to Xiao Baojuan: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yan hopes that you can give you a marriage. He wanted Nadine Lingguang to be his concubine, but he was afraid that his wife would not agree. ”

Xiao Baojuan thought to himself: It turned out that Xiao Yan sent me a beautiful woman with this intention. All right! He wants to disturb my mind with beautiful women. I also used beautiful women to make him confused.

"Yes! Let his concubine fight with his wife. In this way, Xiao Yan has no heart to take care of my affairs. It is even more impossible to rebel. Xiao Baojuan laughed.

Empress Chu smiled: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Xiao Baojuan's envoy arrived at the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion.

Xiao Yan took his family out of the house to greet him.

"The Emperor of Qi State Order: Yongzhou Thorn Shi Xiao Shuda is sympathetic to the people and has made outstanding achievements, and I have approved his Nading Lingguang as a side room. Chin this. "Xiao Baojuan's envoy finished reading the holy decree.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yan knelt down with his family and said.

Mrs. Xi Hui thought to herself: Xiao Yan recently sent a beautiful woman to His Majesty, it turned out to be for this! The old lady was actually deceived by him. Originally, I thought he would agree to Ding Lingguang marrying Chen Qingzhi.

It turned out to be just his delaying tactic!

If Ding Lingguang gave birth to a son, wouldn't the location of my main room be in jeopardy?

Madame Xi Hui's eyes showed a hint of fierceness.

Of course, Xiao Baojuan married Xiao Yan, and the most depressed person was naturally Ding Lingguang.

When she heard the news, she was stunned, and she thought to herself: How can Your Majesty know about me? Could it be that the master has taken a fancy to me for a long time? So let His Majesty give him a step?

Looks like I'm going to serve the master. And Madame will definitely regard me as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

What to do? Am I still alive?

On this day, Xiao Zhengde, the son of Xiao Yan's third brother Xiao Hong, happened to come to the Assassin's Mansion to play.

Xiao Zhengde is a gentleman, he prefers eagle dogs and horses. I usually like to drink flower wine and gamble.

He is a famous playboy in the country of Qi.

However, every time something happens, his father Xiao Hong solves the problem for him.

Anyway, Xiao Hong has money, and if something happens, it's a big deal to lose money.

Xiao Zhengde saw: his sister Xiao Yuyao was jumping around in the garden.

He thought to himself: What made Xiao Yuyao so happy?

Could it be that she is getting married? And the person he marries must be the person he likes.

"Cousin. Why are you so happy? What's wrong with you today? Xiao Zhengde said with a smile.

"I'm getting married." Xiao Yuyao said proudly, and stuck out her tongue at her cousin Xiao Zhengde.

"Really? It's not the son of any family, so unsightly, he will marry you? Xiao Zhengde said with a smile.

"Chen Qingzhi." Xiao Yuyao said with a smile.

"Uh. Isn't he the second uncle's scholar? I heard that he is the son of a businessman, with such a humble background, he can actually be the son-in-law of the second uncle, and the second uncle is not afraid of being laughed at! Xiao Zhengde scoffed.

Xiao Yuyao thought to herself: My cousin really looks down on people! Isn't it just from a humble background? What's wrong? Chen Qingzhi also persuaded Emperor Xiaowen of Wei to retreat!

Which of you, the children of the eunuchs, has done it?

"Chen Qingzhi is our family's son-in-law, what's wrong? I can raise him. There's nothing that can't be done! Xiao Yuyao scolded.

"You're going to raise him? Chen Qingzhi really relies on his appearance to eat! Xiao Zhengde said with a smile.

Let's talk about Mrs. Xi Hui's side.

She had already thought of a way to deal with Ding Lingguang.

She went to the study to find Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was still reading the water conservancy book "The Book of Water", and he thought to himself: There is a person named Li Daoyuan in Wei State, and he made annotations to the "Book of Water". Unfortunately, I couldn't see him.

"Sir." Xi Hui shouted.

"What's wrong again?" Xiao Yan was a little impatient.

"What? You're going to marry a second wife, have you forgotten about me, a wife? Song Hong of the Han Dynasty said: The wife of the chaff will not go to court. People can be so arrogant in the face of Emperor Guangwu. It's like you! In the face of the coercion and temptation of Xiao Baojuan, the faint king, he accepted the beauty. Madame Xi Hui said angrily.

"If it's Ding Lingguang's matter, Madame doesn't have to say it anymore. After all, she's just a concubine. You don't have to worry. Doesn't threaten you. Xiao Yan said helplessly.

"Sir. I'm not here today for this matter. It's something else. Mrs. Xi Hui said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Wouldn't it be that you are going to give me a concubine too? Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"You think beautifully!" Xi Hui said angrily.

"So what can it be?" Xiao Yan asked.

He thought to himself: Could it be that you want me to arrange which of his younger brothers to be officials?

"Is it your younger brother who graduated from Guozijian and needs to be assigned a job? I can arrange it for him! Xiao Yan said impatiently.

"It's not. Sir, we don't have a son now. I'm also in my thirties, and I'm afraid I won't be able to have a son anymore. However, our Xiao family's incense also needs to be inherited. Therefore, I suggest: adopt your younger brother Xiao Hong's third son, Xiao Zhengde, as a son. Mrs. Xi Hui said with a smile.

"That's fine. He is also my nephew. Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Actually, Xiao Zhengde is very stubborn. But after all, it's my nephew. I can still teach him. Hopefully he can change.

"So be it. I see that you also like Ding Lingguang. Since His Majesty has given marriage. Then, I also agree with you to take a concubine. However, Chen Qingyi must not be able to marry Xiao Yuyao. He is a businessman, if he really becomes the son-in-law of our Xiao family, I am afraid that we will become the laughing stock of the scholars. Madame Xi Hui said angrily.

"Madame, rest assured. I wouldn't agree. Xiao Yan laughed.
