After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home

At this time, Wang was looking at her husband in disbelief, but Meng Yuan had a happy expression on his face.

"I never thought that Sister Qi could find such a good marriage after such a shameful incident. Haha, just think about how I will be the prince's Taishan. I will be so proud when I go out in the future."

"My Lord, I heard that the King of Rui is already 25 years old this year, and his two previous consorts died during childbirth. He is a wife-killer."

"So what? It's better to be killed by the prince than to not be able to get married, right? Do you think that people in Beijing are blind? They won't know that we are talking about the second girl and the Zhou family? Tell me yourself, what kind of good marriage can Sister Qi find? Which wealthy family can marry her?" Meng Yuan looked at his wife impatiently.

"Besides, this is a marriage arranged by the Emperor, we have no right to choose. You just saw how father looked, he and mother were both very happy. You don't know what the situation is like in our family now, do you think I am willing to live my life under the Third Brother's wishes? Do you think I won't feel upset when the eldest girl is engaged to the man that the fourth girl likes? But I have no choice, who told us to rely on Meng Hai?

"It's all right now. One of my two daughters is marrying a prince, and the other is marrying the son of a county prince. They will both be crown princes in the future. I want to see how Meng Hai can still show off his power in front of me in the future. But the fourth girl's marriage is urgent, so you should put Sister Wan's affairs aside for now and take care of Sister Qi's affairs first."

Meng Yuan smoothed his clothes and was about to stand up when he remembered what his father had just said when he scolded him. Both daughters were Wang's biological daughters, so he had to pretend to care about them.

After sitting back down, he hesitated for a long time and said, "It's late today, I won't go to the side yard."

Wang was still thinking about Meng Qi's marriage. When she heard Meng Yuan's words, she didn't react at first. After thinking about it, she realized that he wanted to sleep with her.

This is really a joke. They haven't slept together for many years. What's going on now?

"Unfortunately, because Sister Qi's marriage came so suddenly, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it. I made an agreement with Sister Wan to have Sister Qi come over later so that we can counsel her."

Meng Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Wang say this. It wasn't that he didn't give Wang face, it was that she didn't want it and just walked away.

------

Wang looked at Meng Qi who was sitting there blankly without saying a word, and felt very distressed. How could this happen? Why would the emperor suddenly issue such a decree to grant marriage?

Su Qing was also confused. She knew very little about this dynasty. She only knew that Emperor Jing'an was in poor health and would go crazy every once in a while. According to her understanding, it should be intermittent mental illness.

Therefore, his sons became restless, especially since each of his sons had a backer, and no one was willing to give up the chance to ascend the throne. Although the crown prince had been in office for more than 30 years, no one took him seriously.

From her limited knowledge, Prince Jing, Prince Cheng and Prince Duan all had opportunities, but Prince Rui was a complete novice with nothing.

Yes, if his uncle was powerful or he was strong, how could he marry a woman like Meng Qi who got on someone else's carriage and wanted to elope with someone? It seems that this Prince Rui is also a pitiful person, and he can't decide his own marriage. Su Qing can even imagine that the emperor won't even ask for his opinion.

Ever since Meng Qi found out that she was going to marry a man she had never met, who was nearly ten years older than her and whose two wives had died, she stayed in the house without saying a word.

Now he sat in Shanzhi Hall without saying a word.

Wang hugged Meng Qi and patted her back gently. "Good girl, there is nothing we can do about it. This is the emperor's order. Who dares to disobey? Mother also knows that Prince Rui is not a good man, but he is a prince, the emperor's son. You must not dwell on this rut ​​anymore. It will harm the Prince's Mansion."

Meng Qi looked up at Wang. She knew what Wang meant. She could make a fuss about the marriage at Prince Shen's Mansion, and end up with Su Qing marrying in his place. But she couldn't make a fuss about Prince Rui's marriage. If she did, she would be playing with the lives of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Mom, I know, I'm just so frustrated. I know I was wrong. A few days ago, my second sister talked to me a lot. I know I was wrong. Hong Zhe is not a good person. He just took advantage of me. But why do they still not let me go even though I know I'm wrong?"

Wang didn't know what Su Qing had talked about with Meng Qi, and Su Qing didn't say anything, because according to Wang's plan, the past should not be analyzed, and Meng Qi couldn't think of anything deeper. It would be better to wait until Meng Juan and Su Qing were married, and then give Meng Qi targeted education when she found a family.

She was determined not to look for a husband for Meng Qi from a wealthy family, but only one with kind parents-in-law, a steady son-in-law, and a wealthy family. Wang even thought of her nephew, who was two years younger than Meng Qi, but she had watched him grow up. She was completely relieved to leave Meng Qi to her sister-in-law.

Whenever Zhou Yu brought back bad reviews, Wang would always think that if she had chosen her own nephew for Meng Qi, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

However, before she could implement this idea, the palace issued such an order.

"Sister Qi, you have to live your life by yourself and walk your own path. How do you know that you will not live well if you marry Prince Rui? Although we guessed that someone must be behind this, what can we do about it?"

The mother and daughter went to see Su Qing. Su Qing sat opposite Meng Qi, held her hand and continued, "Think about it, although Prince Rui seems to be a transparent existence in the capital, he is a prince, a prince, and he is the one who does not fight or compete. He will not interfere with the big plans of any prince. What does this mean?"

"What does that mean?" Meng Qi asked puzzledly.

"It means that he won't be implicated in what happens next."

"Sister Wan, I don't understand." Wang frowned.

"Mother, in every dynasty, the emperor has needed supporters after ascending the throne. Look at Prince Shang, he was the first person to kowtow to the emperor. How is he doing now? Who in the capital doesn't envy him?"

Wang nodded. That was right. Prince Shang, who was known as "nothing" in the capital at that time, watched Emperor Jing'an gain the world steadily because he was honest, did not fight or compete, and was impartial. He also actively and proactively kowtowed to Emperor Jing'an.

Emperor Jing'an urgently needed a member of the royal family to take the lead, and the actions of Prince Shang were exactly what he wanted, so he immediately conferred a title on Prince Shang, who was not yet a prince. Looking back at those who were more glorious than Prince Shang in the past, how many of them are still around?

"Sister Qi, your sister is right. It is sometimes a good thing for someone like Prince Rui to not fight or compete. As long as he stays in peace, you will have a good life. There is nothing to be afraid of when you are older. He has already lost two princesses, so he will naturally cherish you."

Meng Qi blinked and said unhappily, "But he is not liked by the emperor, and those princes look down on him. Besides, he already has two sons."

Su Qing said softly, "You have to look at this matter from both sides. Think about it, it might be a good thing for you that he has two sons."

"Oh?"

"Do you dare to guarantee that you will give birth to a son? The original Princess of Li gave birth to four daughters but no son. In order to have a son, she used a lot of medicine for the last pregnancy. In addition, she was old and had difficulty giving birth, so both mother and son died. As a result, within a year, the concubine who gave birth to a son was promoted to the main wife. So, you won't have the worry of giving birth to a son if you marry into the family.

"Let's think of the worst first. Even if you can't give birth to a son, you don't have to worry about the prince's incense. If you have a son as your first child, that's even better. Who knows what will happen in the future? Or giving birth to a daughter may not be a bad thing. The prince already has two sons, and you know how noisy boys are. If you really give birth to a daughter, he will definitely like it.

"So, you don't have to worry about the children. I heard that Prince Rui's two sons are taken care of by their respective wet nurses, and they don't want you to take care of them. As long as you manage the relationship well and know what you should and shouldn't take care of, it won't be a difficult task at all."

Meng Qi nodded, it seemed to make sense.
