The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

Upon hearing this, the old Marquis of Xinyang fell into deep thought.

Ming Huaixi said goodbye and went out. Caiyun was waiting for her in the hall of Xinyang Marquis's Mansion. When she saw Ming Huaixi coming out, she immediately came over and greeted her, "Princess."

"Well, let's go." Ming Huaixi nodded to Caiyun, then took her out of Xinyang Hou Mansion.

Walking on the street, Ming Huaixi looked at the vendors around him. They all had smiles on their faces and greeted passers-by on the street. They were ordinary and common, doing repetitive things day after day to support their families.

Ming Huaixi suddenly felt very healed. This was what the atmosphere of fireworks was like. Although she was not busy at work in the real world, she rarely had the opportunity to experience this kind of atmosphere of fireworks. This kind of atmosphere of fireworks could only be found in ancient times when there were no tall buildings and no cold equipment.

Ming Huaixi did not stay for long and soon returned to the palace.

Emperor Sheng Yuan was listening to the secret guards reporting what happened to Ming Huaixi a few days ago. "My daughter has grown up, and it's time for her to get married. We can't be hasty in getting married." Emperor Sheng Yuan fell into deep thought as he spoke.

Soon, the old Marquis of Xinyang picked out the people from the caravan and sent a message to Ming Huaixi. Ming Huaixi took some time to meet the manager of the caravan.

I gave the manager some money and asked him to go to other lands to do business. He should also pay attention to some plants in other lands and bring back seeds if he could.

After that, Ming Huaixi no longer cared about it.

Jijia

Ji Chen fell in love with a woman, but that woman's identity was a little complicated. She was a concubine of the royal family. In terms of status, she was worthy of him, but in terms of status, a concubine of the royal family was far inferior to the next head of the Ji family.

Ji Chen didn't know how to explain this to his family. Ji Chen was cultivated by his family and should consider the interests of the family and put the interests of the family first. He should marry a mistress who can bring benefits to the family.

But this time Ji Chen wanted to be more willful.

Moon Palace

Ming Huaixi selected a good-looking one from the portraits sent by the imperial concubine and reported it to the imperial concubine.

Within two days, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite Ming Huaixi to Chaoxia Palace.

"Greetings to the noble mother."

"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be polite with your royal mother. Your royal mother called you here because she has something to tell you. Please take a look at these first." The royal concubine said as she handed Ming Huaixi a piece of paper.

Ming Huaixi saw the words on the paper and found out that they were about the deeds of the young man he had chosen last time.

Ming Huaixi frowned more and more as he looked. That young man was the eldest son of the Lingyuan Marquis's Mansion. He was simply a scum. Although he had no legal wife, the women he had with him were enough to open several mahjong tables. He once fell in love with a young lady and harassed her, but was beaten away by her husband.

As a result, the man held a grudge and broke into the woman's house one night with his men. He took possession of the woman's wife in front of her husband, and then killed the woman's husband in front of her.

The young lady was a hot-tempered person and she died on the spot by hitting her head against a pillar. The prince relied on the power of the marquis's mansion to suppress the matter.

There are several other cases where this man raped women and he is not worthy of being a human being.

Those who can be sent to the Imperial Concubine are either good-looking or capable. This person was chosen just to make up the numbers because he looks good.

"It's too much." Ming Huaixi was so angry when he saw these things.

"My dear mother, how can there be such a person in this world? This is simply a beast!"

"Xi'er, don't get excited. I called you here today for this matter. This person is not a good match. It's because your mother's subordinates haven't found a good match. Next time, your mother will have someone check it out and then choose for you."

The Imperial Concubine felt that this matter was not handled very well, and she still had to ask the people below to investigate those who were not doing their job and not send them over.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. Xi'er doesn't need to worry." Ming Huaixi lowered his head and pretended to be shy.

Ming Huaixi talked to the imperial concubine for a while, and then returned to his own palace.

Ming Huaixi chose that person only because he remembered that some things had happened about this person and that his character had some serious flaws, but he didn't expect that this person could be so bad.

Ming Huaixi became angrier the more he thought about it. It was really infuriating to just let that man go. The Lingyuan Marquis's Mansion now relies on the merits and protection of the old Lingyuan Marquis. The current Lingyuan Marquis is not capable of anything.

Now the old Marquis Lingyuan is already very old, and he might pass away some day. Once he passes away, the entire Marquis Lingyuan Mansion will not be as good as the relatives and friends who have just risen to power.

Therefore, the key lies in the old Marquis Lingyuan. As long as the old Marquis Lingyuan is there, the Marquis Lingyuan's Mansion will be fine as long as it is not involved in treason.

In the original owner's memory, the old Marquis Lingyuan died two months later due to the recurrence of his old illness.

Ming Huaixi now has a few people who can be used, so he asks them to collect evidence of the crimes committed by the son of Lingyuan Marquis. As soon as the old Lingyuan Marquis dies, he will immediately find someone to spread the stories about the son of Lingyuan Marquis.

By then, he will have no other old Marquis to protect him.

Thinking of this, Ming Huaixi finally felt better. Calculating the days, it would be time to leave Beijing soon after finishing this matter.

Soon the news of the upcoming visit of the Zhao State delegation spread in Jingguo, and Emperor Sheng Yuan sent the eldest prince to receive the delegation. The biological mother of the eldest prince was a palace maid who was accidentally favored by Emperor Sheng Yuan. Emperor Sheng Yuan did not take it seriously afterwards, but unexpectedly, the palace maid became pregnant two months later and died after giving birth to the eldest prince.

It is said that he died of complications during childbirth, but I don't know how much of it is true. Because his mother was of humble origin, the eldest prince was not favored by Emperor Sheng Yuan, even though he was his first prince.

What Ming Huaixi saw in the original owner's memory was that the eldest prince received the delegation. The eldest prince had a tragic ending. In the original time point, after Emperor Sheng Yuan was killed, the eldest prince was not blinded by the fight for the throne, and he found that something was wrong.

However, the two princes under him were not easy to deal with. He had no chance to extricate himself, and was finally eliminated by the two princes, and then the two princes played him to death.

The eldest prince was ready to leave the capital completely at that time, but unexpectedly he ended up staying in the capital forever. It's really a pity.

Moreover, perhaps because of his mother's humble origins, the eldest prince did not have the arrogance of a prince. He treated people and things in a way that made people feel comfortable, and many court officials supported him.

At that time, when an epidemic broke out among the victims in the flood-stricken areas, he happened to be serving as a military supervisor at the border. When he learned of Emperor Sheng Yuan's order, he wanted to come back immediately to stop it.

However, once the military supervisor was sent out, he had to wait for a certain period of time before returning. Returning to Kyoto without permission at other times was considered disobeying imperial orders, and the punishment could be dozens of military sticks at the least, or even death at the worst.

He is a man of affection and righteousness. No matter whether he does it for show or not, at least he is willing to pretend.
