The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Si Zhengxuan and Si Yan were not surprised to hear this. They knew who did it without even thinking.

Jia Zhongchun's open support for Prince Yong's Palace undoubtedly offended the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister's faction. Miss Jia was almost kidnapped last night, which was their revenge.

Si Yan spoke slowly: "Don't be anxious, Master Jia, tell me in detail."

Jia Zhongchun nodded, wiped his eyes, and said, "Last night at midnight, a thief broke into my home, ran to my daughter's yard, and pried open her door. If it weren't for a masked female warrior in red who rescued her, my daughter would have... been killed..."

Jia Zhongchun didn't know that the woman in red he was talking about was Yu Nie, the deputy leader of the Blood Shadow Sect, who was sent by Si Yan to protect the Jia family.

"Where is the lady in red?" Si Yan asked casually.

Jia Zhongchun said with lingering fear, "I went after the thief, but I don't know whether I caught him or not."

Si Yan nodded. The Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister were much more restrained this time.

They did not directly send out a large number of assassins to carry out mass killings and revenge on the Jia family, which was already a small move.

Of course, at this critical moment, if they dare to do so, they will be digging their own graves.

Before Si Yan was not in Shangjing, they could do whatever they wanted. From now on, if they make any move, Si Yan would set them on fire.

"I'm glad that Miss Jia is okay." Si Yan comforted her.

Jia Zhongchun sighed: "Miss Si, I am worried that if they fail, they will do something else."

"Master Jia, don't worry. The woman in red didn't just pass by the Jia Mansion. She was sent by Prince Yong to protect the mansion. Nothing will happen to the Jia Mansion."

Jia Zhongchun pondered for a moment and said to Si Zhengxuan, "Master Situ, I have a favor to ask of you."

After he finished speaking, Jia Zhongchun suddenly left his seat and knelt down in front of Si Zhengxuan.

Si Zhengxuan was startled and quickly stepped forward to help Jia Zhongchun up: "Master Jia, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please stand up and speak."

Jia Zhongchun grabbed Si Zhengxuan's arm, but knelt on the ground and could not get up: "I was forced to rely on the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although I was a doctor in the Imperial Censorate, I was like a mute. I was in a panic all day long and dared not to speak out. I became a walking corpse.

"Jia has now come to his senses and decided to follow Miss Si's advice, leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and support His Royal Highness Prince Yong. However, the Prime Minister's Mansion is truly formidable. In the past, all the court officials who have offended the Prime Minister's Mansion have lost their families. Jia is not afraid of death, and has no other worries. The only thing that worries me is my daughter, Mu He."

"Master Jia, please get up first." Si Zhengxuan used some strength to lift Jia Zhongchun up.

Was it Yan'er who persuaded Jia Zhongchun to support Prince Yong? He said, why did Jia Zhongchun suddenly leave the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Although Si Zhengxuan is a civil servant, the Si family has been a military family for generations. Si Zhengxuan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts foundation is not bad.

Si Yan discovered that his father's kung fu was not low. Si Rong and others were trained by his father himself. If he did not have profound kung fu skills, it would be impossible for him to train guards like Si Rong.

His entrustment just now made Si Yan realize her father's strength. The Situ Mansion has been safe and sound over the years, which is inseparable from her father's management.

The fact that her father was safe and sound also showed that he was no simple man.

Jia Zhongchun sat back in his seat and looked at Si Zhengxuan. "I know my daughter is not worthy of General Si Qingshan, so I didn't dare to ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. So I brought my daughter here in person to meet Lord Situ and General Si Qingshan. If General Qingshan thinks my daughter is suitable, it would be my great honor to marry into the Situ Mansion..."

Jia Zhongchun's intention was made clear in a few words: he wanted to marry his daughter to Si Qingshan.

Si Yan couldn't help but look up at Jia Muhe. She had teased her elder brother about finding a sister-in-law yesterday, but she never thought that her elder brother would be lucky in love today.

Si Zhengxuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't dare to agree rashly.

He hadn't recovered from his daughter's messy relationship yet, and today his son received another marriage proposal.

However, Qingshan is indeed not young anymore. Si Zhengxuan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Jia Muhe. The girl looked pretty good, but he was not sure whether his son liked her.

Si Zhengxuan said carefully: "Miss Jia has probably never seen Qingshan. I wonder if Miss Jia..."

"Mu He, listen to your father in everything." Jia Muhe knelt down and bowed to Si Zhengxuan, saying with a blushing face.

This means that I agree.

Si Zhengxuan paused for a moment, then continued, "My son Qingshan is a reckless warrior. If the border war breaks out again in the future, he will be summoned to fight at any time. Lord Jia is from a family of scholars, and I'm afraid that Miss Jia will be wronged..."

"Master Situ, I'm not wronged!" Jia Zhongchun said firmly, "If I could become a relative of Master Situ, it would be my dream."

Jia Zhongchun was willing to risk everything for his daughter.

He knew very well that with the methods used by the Imperial Concubine, the Prime Minister and their clique, the Jia family could not protect their daughter.

The fact that the Situ Mansion has been able to stand firm in Daxuan for many years shows that the strength behind it should not be underestimated.

Si Zhengxuan was silent for a while, then said to the old housekeeper Si Hong, "Go and call Qingshan over."

Qingshan was stationed at the border all year round, and because his mother was no longer there to arrange things for him, his marriage was put on hold.

Most of the powerful officials in the court are from the party of the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister. Many of them want to establish a relationship with the Situ Mansion, but it is difficult to find anyone who dares to marry his daughter into the Situ Mansion.

Jia Zhongchun brought his daughter to his house today and treated him so frankly. Si Zhengxuan could not easily refuse him no matter what.

At this moment, Si Qingshan was sorting out official documents in his study, preparing to report to His Majesty, explaining his inspection of the Jingji camp and the defense of Shangjing City.

The old housekeeper walked into the courtyard, his loud voice tinged with excitement: "General Si, the master has something to ask you to go to the main hall."

"What's the matter?" Si Qingshan looked at Hongbo's smiling face and couldn't help feeling strange. Is there some big happy event in the mansion?

Hong Bo smiled and said, "Someone is here to propose marriage to the general..."

Si Qingshan had just stood up to leave when he suddenly stopped. Is there anyone in the capital who dares to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion and come to propose marriage to him?

"Oh? Who is it?" Si Qingshan walked out from the desk calmly and slowly went to the main hall.

Hong Bo followed and said beside Si Qingshan, "It's the daughter of the Imperial Censor Jia. Miss Jia is here too."

Si Qingshan: ...

He knew that Jia Zhongchun was a special envoy of the imperial court at the border, and after returning to the court, he was the first person to openly turn to Prince Yong in the court.

Si Qingshan also knew that Jia Zhongchun came to visit at this time most likely for his daughter's safety.

Si Qingshan arrived at the main hall and bowed to his father and Jia Zhongchun: "Father, Lord Jia."

Jia Zhongchun looked at Si Qingshan, a handsome man. Although he was a military general, he had an elegant temperament. He knew that as the eldest son of the Situ Mansion, Si Qingshan was not only good at wielding swords and guns, but was also well-read in poetry and books. He was not an ordinary military general.

Lord Situ's family is upright. Lord Situ never remarried because of his deceased wife. If Si Qingshan marries his daughter, although he may not be as good as Lord Situ, he will never treat his daughter badly.

Jia Zhongchun hurriedly said to Jia Muhe, "Muhe, why don't you go meet General Qingshan?"

Jia Muhe walked out from behind her father and knelt before Si Qingshan, saying, "My daughter greets General Si. I have long admired your great name."

"Miss Jia, you are too polite. Qingshan really doesn't deserve it." Si Qingshan returned the greeting respectfully.

Although Si Qingshan has never talked about marriage with a girl, he has a different temperament due to his experience in the battlefield, and his inner thoughts are not revealed at all.

Seeing that Jia Zhongchun was so frank, Si Zhengxuan didn't beat around the bush any more.

He raised his eyes and looked at his son: "Qingshan, Lord Jia thinks highly of you, so he brought Miss Jia here to see him. I wonder...what do you think?"
