Poor Family

As the natal family of the beloved concubine Liu Guifei and the uncle's family of the fourth prince, the Liu family has extraordinary appeal and influence. As soon as he made a move, he didn't give Shi Fuxin and the Shi family any chance to retreat.

Rumors and rumors are rapidly fermenting, and the most obvious impact is that the business of the ten confidante shops in the capital has changed from the previous busy traffic to the current empty ones.

"sister."

When Shi Dinghao came to Lanyue Building, he saw Shi Fuxin sitting on the railing distracted, and walked over worriedly: "Sister, are you okay?"

Shi Fuxin looked over and said with a smile, "What can I do wrong?"

Shi Dinghao frowned: "The Liu family is going too far, don't worry, I will definitely find a chance to vent my anger on you."

"Out of breath?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head, her eyes were cold: "I've become a joke all over the capital now, just venting my anger is not enough."

Shi Dinghao quickly asked: "Sister, what do you want to do?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head again: "Now we can't do anything. The Liu family is far more powerful than the Shi family. If we take action, we will only be suppressed even more. If we want to deal with the Liu family, we must find someone more powerful than them."

Seeing Shi Dinghao showing unwillingness, he comforted him, "When the situation is stronger than others, a temporary retreat is necessary. This is not to swallow your anger, but to preserve your strength and find opportunities to attack."

Shi Dinghao still refused to accept: "Let's forget it?"

Shi Fuxin sneered: "It doesn't count, but it takes time to attack, just wait, there will always be a time to clean up the Liu family."

Shi Dinghao was silent, and said again: "Sister, I heard from mother that you still want to go to the birthday banquet at Prince Gong's residence tomorrow?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "Prince Gong's son celebrates his birthday, sister Xiahou posted a message for me, of course I will go."

Shi Dinghao hesitated for a while and said: "Sister, there are too many rumors about you outside now, why don't you go out first?"

Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother: "Mother asked you to persuade me?"

Shi Dinghao didn't speak, and acquiesced.

Shi Fuxin smiled: "Don't worry, your sister and I are not that weak, I am not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of blood, how can I be defeated by a few rumors."

paused.

"If I really stay behind closed doors, that's what the Liu family wants."

"Misfortunes and blessings are what I rely on, and just by taking advantage of the rumors outside, I can also help me clean up the rotten fish and shrimps in the pond." As he spoke, he smiled, "Maybe, after this time, you will have It's brother-in-law."

Shi Dinghao felt that Shi Fuxin was trying to force her smile, and felt very blocked. He is seventeen this year, but he still doesn't have the ability to protect his family.

After coming out of Lanyue Tower, Shi Dinghao went back to his yard, and then started to practice martial arts until late at night, when he couldn't practice anymore, he washed and lay down on the bed.

Lying on the bed, Shi Dinghao quietly looked at the roof of the tent, his eyes flickered from the beginning and gradually became more and more firm, and at dawn, he got up and went to the palace to work.

After daybreak, Shi Fuxin also packed up and got into the carriage to attend the birthday banquet at Prince Kung's Mansion.

When Fuxin got off the carriage at the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion, she ran into Chu Qian, Chu Yao, and Meng Moling.

Shi Fuxin nodded towards the three of them, and followed the nanny sent by Xiahou Huanyan to pick her up into the palace.

"Tsk tsk, at this time, the sixth girl of the family, should I say that she has a strong mind, or should I say that she has a thick skin? How dare you go out at this time!"

Chu Qian chattered and laughed, seeing Chu Yao glanced at him, he laughed again, "There is someone in the capital who has a worse reputation than you, how do you feel?"

Chu Yao looked at him: "I don't have any feelings, I just think you are superficial." Then, he stepped into Prince Gong's mansion first.

Chu Qian curled his lips, and said to Meng Moling: "See, I said Brother Yao was protecting the girl at that time, but he still doesn't admit it."

Meng Moling: "Brother Eleven, I think Brother Yao is not protecting Fat Pomegranate, but himself. He may have thought of the scene when he was so hurt by rumors that he dared not go out."

Chu Qian fell silent immediately, and quickly caught up with Chu Yao.

The three of them entered the palace, first went to see Prince Gong and Concubine Gong, then talked with Prince Gong and his wife for a while, then casually wandered around the yard.

The winter scenery of Prince Kung's Mansion is beautiful, and the guests who came to congratulate them all gathered together in twos and threes, walking or admiring the scenery.

Amidst the bustle, there was one person who looked a little lonely. It could be seen that the other guests were alienating her intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at Shi Fuxin who was drinking tea alone in the pavilion and looking at the guests of the palace with relish, Chu Yao was a little surprised when she saw no forbearance or resentment on her face.

Did she really not care about the eyes of others, or did she know that it was useless to care, so she just broke the jar?

Chu Qian and Meng Moling did not have Chu Yao's eyesight. Looking at Shi Fuxin in the distance, they felt that she was lonely and pitiful.

"The Liu family's attack this time is really ruthless." Chu Qian said with sympathy.

Meng Moling nodded in agreement: "Isn't it? Fat Pomegranate is a girl's family after all. The Liu family has such a trouble, can she still marry into a good family in the future?"

Chu Qian snorted: "I still want to marry a good family, it's good if she can marry."

Meng Moling also sighed, yes, it will be difficult for Fat Pomegranate to marry in the future.

The Liu family first invited the official media to come and accept her as a concubine, which undoubtedly humiliated her severely, thinking that she was only worthy of being a concubine. pomegranate.

But even after that, the Liu family still chased after him, uncovered the grievances between Shi Zhenghe's family and Li Zhengkun's family, and also involved the Wei family, publicizing that Fat Pomegranate is aggressive and disrespectful to the elders.

Fat Pomegranate's reputation is now completely ruined!

Chu Qian looked at Chu Yao: "Why did the Shi family provoke the Liu family? Could it be that the Liu family found out that Liu Zuxing's fall from the building on the day of the Lantern Festival was really done by the sixth girl of the Shi family?"

Chu Yao: "There is this reason, but the main reason is that Shi Dingxuan destroyed several properties of the Liu family in the south. Of course, the Liu family will find their place back."

Chu Qian was stunned: "So that's how it is." Then, he shook his head: "It's a bit vulgar to vent your anger on a girl."

Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin in the pavilion: "It's also her own fault, who made her the most aggressive person in the Shi family. Even when dealing with old uncle Shi, she didn't destroy her, it was more deterrent force."

As he spoke, he sneered.

"Why else would the emperor value the Liu family and the fourth prince so much, and bring them up to constrain the prince. Once he makes a move, he will never leave room for it."

"Since we are already hostile, we must fight to the death and not give the opponent any chance to fight back."

"The Shi family is just Shi Dingxuan, who has some influence, but he is far away in the south, and he is beyond reach!"

The Wuchang uncle's mansion finally showed signs of revival. After this turmoil, it is afraid that it will fall silent again.

Although Shi Zhenghe was under the protection of King Duan in Wucheng Bingma Division, he was still targeted.

Shi Dinghao was on duty in the palace, and he was also excluded, that is to say, the emperor still needed Shi Dinghao's voice, otherwise he would have been transferred away from Qianqing Palace by the fourth prince.

As for the rest of the Shi family, the situation is even more difficult.

Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, and saw that she was as leisurely and calm as ever, with a look of anticipation in her eyes. She acted like this, because she thought she still had a chance to come back?

In the imperial palace, Shi Dinghao followed the emperor to the morning court as usual, and after the next court, he was sure that the emperor had nothing to look for him, so he went to the shopping place of the imperial dining room, talking with the eunuch he had befriended, while staring at the maid who came to pick up the meal , when he saw the maid from Shoukang Palace appearing, he quickly found a chance to join her.

In the side hall of Shoukang Palace, the palace maid Suo Xin came back with a meal in her face, and seeing Princess Yong'an still immersed in her embroidery, she immediately smiled and said, "Princess, who do you think this servant has met?"

Princess Yong'an didn't raise her head: "Who did you meet?"

Seeing Princess Yong'an's disinterested look, Suo Xin stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your maidservant met the big trumpet."

Princess Yong'an paused for a while while holding the needle, and then let out an 'oh' as ​​if nothing had happened.

Seeing Suo Xin, he could only get straight to the point and say, "The big trumpet said he wanted to see you, and said he would see you at the old place."

Princess Yong'an finally raised her head: "He wants to see me?"

Suo Xin nodded: "Big Speaker's face is serious, it seems that there is something important."

Princess Yong'an lowered her eyes and fell silent for a moment, then inserted the embroidery needle into the embroidery shed: "Let's set the meal, after the meal, I'll go out to digest."

In the abandoned palace in the east corner of the imperial palace, Princess Yong'an saw Shi Dinghao lying on the beam as soon as she entered, distracted: "What do you want from me?"

The sudden sound startled Shi Dinghao, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell directly from the beam. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, turned around quickly, and didn't fall to the ground to make a fool of himself.

"Princess, you are here."

Looking at Shi Dinghao who was grinning brilliantly, Princess Yong'an's eyes flickered: "I'm here, let's talk about something."

When Shi Dinghao looked at Princess Yong'an, he suddenly became uncomfortable. He groaned, hesitated, glanced at Princess Yong'an, quickly looked away, and then looked again.

Princess Yong'an looked at Shi Dinghao, who was twitchy and not at all like the straightforward Shi Dinghao before, and she was curious, what was this guy going to tell her?

"What happened to you?"

Shi Dinghao looked desperate: "Princess, you know that I am a straightforward person, I can say what I think, I don't like to beat around the bush, if what I say later offends you, don't be angry."

Princess Yong'an gave an 'hmm'.

Shi Dinghao was a little embarrassed: "Princess, wait a while, let me get ready."

Princess Yong'an became more and more curious, and she still needs to prepare for something?

"Just tell me, I'm not angry."

Shi Dinghao answered in seconds: "I want to marry you, can you marry me?"

Princess Yong'an thought she was hallucinating, and froze in place.

Shi Dinghao looked at her solemnly: "Princess, I want to be your consort, what do you think?"

Princess Yong'an heard it clearly this time, and calmed down: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Shi Dinghao: "I know, I've thought about this for a long time."

Princess Yong'an's heart skipped a beat: "Have you thought about it for a long time?"

Shi Dinghao nodded: "Well, anyway, I have thought about it."

Princess Yong'an looked at him: "I am the royal princess."

Shi Dinghao: "As long as you like me and don't despise me, it will prove that I am worthy of you."

Princess Yong'an stopped talking, Shi Dinghao is always like this, confident and energetic, every time she sees him and feels his full of vitality, she can't take her eyes away.

"I am older than you."

Shi Dinghao: "You are three years older than me, and a third-year girl holds a gold brick. It is my good fortune to marry you."

Princess Yong'an looked into Shi Dinghao's eyes: "I am not in good health. The imperial doctor said that there is a high probability that I will not have any children in the future."

Shi Dinghao said without thinking, "It's okay, I know a doctor with excellent medical skills, she can cure your illness."

Princess Yong'an: "What if it can't be cured?"

Shi Dinghao paused and said: "That's okay, I still have my brother in my family, he is responsible for the succession of the family."

Princess Yong'an was silent, and after a while: "Why do you want to marry me?"

Shi Dinghao began to snap his fingers: "First, I think you and I can talk quite well. My sixth sister said that when two people are together, we must first have something to say. Every time I see you, I have something to say."

"Second, I am very comfortable with you. You have never overwhelmed me as a princess."

"Thirdly, my brothers and sisters at home have always been taking care of me. I also want to help them. I don't know how I can do it with my own ability. But if I want to marry you, the princess, then I will be a son-in-law. How much can I do?" help the family."

"Fourth, my sixth sister told me that when deciding whether to do something, you should ask yourself whether you are looking forward to it or afraid. I am looking forward to being your son-in-law."

Shi Dinghao looked at Princess Yong'an: "Princess, these are my thoughts. If you mind, you can refuse me. Don't force yourself just because I saved you."

Princess Yong'an looked at Shi Dinghao's frank and upright eyes, and said nothing for a long time.

Shi Dinghao: "Princess, you can really consider me. I'm still very good. I promise, after we get married, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Princess Yong'an didn't respond, but said: "I've been out for too long, I have to go back to Shoukang Palace." After speaking, she quickly walked out of the palace.

Shi Dinghao watched Princess Yong'an leave, scratched the back of his head: "I'm so nice, the princess should agree, um, I should."

On the same day, after Shi Dinghao returned to the uncle's mansion, after thinking about it, he felt that he should tell her sister about his confession to the princess, so he hurried to Lanyue Tower.

"Sister, do you mind if I eat soft rice?"

Shi Fuxin was taken aback by Shi Dinghao's sudden words: "What?"

Shi Dinghao twitched a bit: "If I find a daughter-in-law with a strong family background, and then lie flat and eat soft food, will you look down on me?"

Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother, thought for a while, and said seriously: "If you can really eat soft food, that's your ability."

Shi Dinghao's eyes lit up: "I think so too, if people can see me, it means I'm good, right?"

Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother, and quickly asked, "Who has taken a fancy to you? Are you easy to get along with? Although you rely on your ability to make a living, you still have to have a bottom line, and you can't be a doormat."

Shi Dinghao showed a rare expression of embarrassment: "She is very nice, and she can treat me too."

Shi Fuxin: "Who is it?"

Shi Dinghao chuckled: "Princess Yong'an."

Shi Fuxin's eyes widened, and then fell silent.

Seeing that she was silent, Shi Dinghao quickly asked, "Sister, you don't like Princess Yong'an?"

Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother seriously: "It's not whether I like it or not, but whether you like it or not?"

"Jiulang, tell me the truth, did you come up with the idea of ​​marrying the royal princess because of the rumors and rumors during this period?"

Shi Dinghao quickly shook his head: "No, I have always wanted to marry a noble girl and enjoy life. I don't want to be as tired as my brother."

Shi Fuxin: "Then do you like Princess Yong'an?"

Shi Dinghao showed a dazed look: "It should be because I like it. Every time I see her get sick, I actually feel very distressed."

Shi Fuxin didn't know what to say, thought for a while, and then asked: "What about Princess Yong'an, does she like you?"

Shi Dinghao grinned: "I think she likes me. Every time she meets me, she talks to me for a long time. In front of others, she is very indifferent."

Shi Fuxin said with a serious expression: "Jiulang, marriage is not a child's play, after marrying a daughter-in-law, one has to be responsible to others for the rest of her life."

Shi Dinghao nodded: "I can do it."

Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother: "You are still young, there is actually no need to be in such a hurry to get married."

Shi Dinghao: "I'm not young anymore, Zhao Shenghao is already engaged."
