Originally, Mrs. Li was just a small shareholder.

Since I didn’t donate much, I took the initiative to help out in the community.

Now that was all right, these nobles simply pushed her out and asked the host to go find Madam Li whether there was anything or not.

What can Madam Li do?

However, she personally visited the temple to see the disaster victims and children...

She couldn't bear it, so she had to save money and make ends meet.

Now, it’s almost time to sell the dowry.

The Li family is a small family. In addition to Li Zhen, there is a younger brother and a younger sister, all of whom live in the capital with Li's mother.

Now, the Li family is going to be granted a marriage. However, some people in Shangjing City are skeptical about whether they can hold a marriage worthy of a marriage.

"What does it mean to be granted marriage?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Because the emperor has this intention, otherwise General Xiaoli would not come back, but... the young lady may not be willing," Feng Qi whispered to Qin Qiong.

"How could this be?"

When Qin Qiong shouted like this, the two soldiers over there were so angry that they wanted to smash their wine bowls.

"It was originally a good thing..."

Xiaoyan looked at Li Zhen who was still dancing with the sword and explained to Qin Qiong.

"The Qian family is the one that wants to grant the marriage. The other party is the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue. They are of similar age, talent and appearance. Moreover... he is from the Ministry of Revenue. Do you understand?"

Qin Qiong rolled his eyes and said, "...I understand."

"So, the emperor was already having a headache because of military and political affairs, and he thought that with the marriage between the two families, such matters would not be so difficult in the future. But he didn't expect..."

"The Qian family is unwilling?"

"Minister Qian is willing, but... it's the young lady who is unwilling."

"Say yes? What do you mean? What do you mean by say yes?"

"Ugh!"

Xiaoyan shook her head: "They said to the public that the young lady didn't want to, but in fact the Queen Mother didn't agree."

"What does this have to do with the Queen Mother?"

"The eldest grandson of Marquis Chang'an said that he also had his eyes on this family and went to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for help. However, the Emperor had already told the Qian and Li families about this matter, so Li Zhen came back. Now that the Queen Mother has intervened, this matter has become difficult to handle, so..."

"Wait, what do you mean by liking this marriage? Shouldn't you be liking the second young lady of the Qian family? What did the second young lady Qian say? Who does she want to marry?"

"..."

Several people around the campfire looked at this little girl who looked like neither male nor female.

"What's wrong?" Qin Qiong asked.

Xiaoyan thought about it, and based on Qin Qiong's current alcohol content and the traces of the era from which he, the surrogate, traveled, he gave Qin Qiong a reasonable explanation.

"Marquis Chang'an is the Li family, the empress dowager's family. The eldest son is now in the Ministry of War and has always wanted to station troops outside. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of military supplies and food. Do you understand?" Xiaoyan said to Qin Qiong.

"I know"

"The Qian family now has only one young lady waiting to be married."

"…So, if you want to marry into the Qian family, this lady is the only one?"

"right"

"So... that means the reason for the marriage was not because of this young lady, but because of the position of the Qian family in the Ministry of Revenue, right?"

"right"

"Fuck! Then...what did the second young lady of the Qian family say?"

"This marriage? This kind of thing is for adults... In this era, Miss Qian can't make the decision. It's different from your era."

"That's it..."

Qin Qiong expressed sadness.

The people around were a little confused...

What does it mean to be different from your times?

"That is to say, if the Qian family and the Li family marry, they can guarantee that the Li family will not be stingy with their food and grass in the future. The emperor has good intentions, but, because of this, the Li family also took a fancy to this benefit and wanted to snatch people, right?"

"Yes, the Li family didn't have that intention originally, but once the emperor made this idea known, everyone started to think about it, so the matter is stuck here."

"Why? The emperor has already said it, and General Li has also returned. But just because of the empress dowager's words, it won't work? Isn't this too...disrespectful of the emperor?" Qin Qiong asked in a low voice.

"Ugh!"

Xiaoyan actually sighed.

"Isn't it?"

Qin Qiong laughed out loud: "Who has the final say in the court now? The Queen Mother or the Emperor?"

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Feng Qi said hurriedly: "But..."

"many things……"

Xiaoyan put down the cup in her hand and shook her head gently: "The emperor also has to listen to the empress dowager's opinions."

"why?"

Qin Qiong leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is it because the Queen Mother's family is in charge of both the military and the government?"

"That's not the case... The Li family no longer has the military power, so how about the government..."

Xiaoyan thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, a little bit..."

"You are easily influenced by others?" Qin Qiong immediately responded, but then he thought something was wrong.

"That's not right. Isn't this the setting for the favorite concubine? Why is it the same for the queen mother?"

When the people nearby heard the little girl say such words, they were so scared that they all lowered their heads and drank.

"That's not it……"

Xiaoyan thought for a moment and said, "It's like this. The emperor is in poor health. In the past, many things were ordered by the empress dowager, who was in charge of government affairs. After the emperor got married, although he personally took charge of government affairs, he still listened to the empress dowager's opinion on many things."

"The emperor is due to health reasons...it's not, it's just..."

"He doesn't like to take responsibility, has no opinions of his own, and likes to be a hands-off boss," Qin Qiong summed it up for him.

"Yes, that's what I mean, so..."

Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "Many things turn out like this."

"Damn! How did he become the emperor?" Qin Qiong asked Xiaoyan in a low voice.

Xiaoyan blinked and said, "Your Majesty, it's the legitimate son."

"That's it?"

"He was made the crown prince since birth"

"that's it?"

"Although he is not in good health, he is a good person and has done nothing wrong."

"...No way?"

"…At that time, the Li family was in charge of the military and the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Taifu was the emperor's teacher, so…"

"I see. I have a good mother and a good background wall..."

Qin Qiong expressed his envy.

However, what happened to the royal family being ruthless, scheming, and allowing the strong to prevail?

This is not according to the script!

Although the people around him thought Qin Qiong's words sounded a bit...

It means to turn around. But, think about it, it makes sense.

"The Li family is going too far!"

Li Zhen suddenly shouted from the side.

Qin Qiong and the others were startled, only then did they realize that General Li had returned from his sword dance at some point.

Perhaps he had enjoyed the sword dance so much that General Xiaoli actually looked much more cheerful.

The frowning brows also relaxed.

"Wine! Brother Yan, let's drink some more. We won't go home until we are drunk today!" General Xiaoli said loudly.

"Are you rich? Or are you happy about something that makes you drink so much?"

Qin Qiong said indifferently.

"You! What do you care?"

General Xiaoli made her so angry that she was choking for a moment.

However, somehow he didn't think this little girl was annoying.

And it cannot be taken lightly.

"Xiao Qiong, have you thought of something?" Xiao Yan asked Qin Qiong.

He had already noticed that Qin Qiong was squinting his eyes with a wicked smile on his lips, one eyebrow was low and the other was high, and he looked like a treacherous villain.

"what?"

"Look at you, you look so evil, I can tell at a glance that you are up to something bad. Tell me, what do you think?"

Xiaoyan exposed Qin Qiong very frankly.
