Chapter 295 Marrying a side concubine
After Li Qingyan left, Si Zhong buried his head in writing, when there was another knock on the door.
He answered "Come in", thinking that it was Li Qingyan who had left and returned.
Si Zhong heard that most women like to make small things to please men, but he didn't expect his wife to learn it now.
What came after the pastry, he reckoned, was soup or something.
Si didn't raise his head, and just said it.
"let it go."
"What?"
What responded to him was not Li Qingyan's soft and weak voice, but Lu Xiangwan's energetic voice.
Si Zhong looked up, saw that Lu Xiangwan had arrived, and said without changing expression.
"Mom, you are here."
Lu Xiangwan naturally didn't take Si Zhong's words seriously, after all, she had something bad in her heart, so she couldn't care less about him.
Lu Xiangwan sat on a chair with a tired face, and poured a cup of tea by himself.
Si Zhong kept writing, raised his eyes and asked her.
"Just came back from the palace? Judging by your appearance, something happened in the palace?"
Lu Xiangwan put down his teacup and sighed,
"Hey, the empress dowager pointed out a side concubine for you, and asked you to get married as soon as possible."
Si Zhong froze and didn't move for a while, the nib of the pen smeared a pool of black marks on the rice paper. After he realized it, he curled up the waste paper and threw it aside as if nothing had happened, Liang Jin said.
It was the queen mother's idea to marry Li Qingyan at the beginning, in order to take advantage of the virtuous king's influence, now that Si Zhong heard the proposal, he knew that the queen mother had a new idea.
Lu Xiangwan thought about it.
"King Xian is old, and he was fine a few years ago, but now his son has not inherited his mantle at all, and his power is declining day by day, and he is getting farther and farther away from his old subordinates.
The Empress Dowager said this is her niece Yu Wenyue. Yu Wenyue's mother and the Queen Mother are cousins. After marrying Dongyuan, she gave birth to such a daughter, who is like a baby. Now she has been named the county head. "
Si Zhong stopped writing, and just stared down at the table. His eyes were so dark that no one could see his emotions.
Lu Xiangwan continued.
"I have already arranged for someone to clean up the yard. The soldiers of General Yuwen's family have already arrived outside the capital, and Yu Wenyue is also in the team. That girl has a bold personality. She wants to see you before getting engaged. Tomorrow you will pick one up in person. catch."
Si Zhong listened expressionlessly, and after a while, twitched the corners of his mouth and said.
"The Queen Mother really thinks highly of me. Being a bargaining chip once is not enough, and I have to come a second time."
Si Zhong's tone was yin and yang, and he personally interpreted what it means to laugh without smiling.
Lu Xiangwan could tell that Si Zhong was unwilling, but she certainly didn't think that Si Zhong was so affectionate and righteous that he didn't want to take the concubine.
She knew her son, he was very high-minded, and he didn't want to be manipulated by others, but who told them to be like this.
Lu Xiangwan tried to comfort him, only saying.
"Anyway, you don't like Li Qingyan very much. I heard that this Yuwen girl has been a martial artist since she was a child. She is very strong. Maybe after she gets married, she will soon have a son and a half for you. It's not bad. Don't you think so?"
Si Zhong thought about Geru Xiangwan's words carefully, as if he suddenly thought of something, he paused word by word.
"If this Yu Wenyue is so powerful, then in her capacity, how could she be willing to take the position of side concubine?"
After hearing Si Zhong's question, Lu Xiangwan's eyes obviously dodged.
