The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

After Gao Siwei finished speaking, Han Qingyun and others also understood.

That year, several major academies withdrew from the college competition. The competition was not held that year and was postponed to the following year.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that Ruan Xinyu is Miss Yuan.

But, if she is Miss Yuan, who is Ji Siyuan’s father?

Lu Liang slapped his forehead. This completely overturned his worldview.

"Could it be that Empress Ruan and Emperor Zhaowen were already pregnant before their wedding?"

Only in this way can Emperor Zhaowen have no grudge against Ruan Xinyu.

If Ji Siyuan was Emperor Zhaowen's child, it would make sense for him to be arranged to go to Ji Yang to harm Prince Lin.

But can parents really be so cruel as to send their one-year-old child to be a thorn in the side of their opponent?

This is appalling.

Li Jixin was a little dumbfounded.

Although he didn't like Li Zhaocai and his wife, he didn't think Li Zhaocai could do such a thing.

If he had a son like Ji Siyuan and still treated Li Zhenyu as his own flesh and blood, how blind would Li Zhaocai have to be?

Who is Li Zhenyu?

Whether in appearance, scheming, knowledge or martial arts, he is far inferior to Ji Siyuan.

What Li Jixin thought of was also thought of by others.

"You've all forgotten that Ji Siyuan is a bastard, and you can't just openly say, 'This is my eldest son, a bastard.' Isn't this just slapping Emperor Zhaowen in the face?"

Wang Xiao felt that this issue did not need to be considered at all.

Lu Yanyan shook his head. "No. Ji Siyuan's identity is hard to say. I heard many people mention at the Food Court that Emperor Zhaowen, who had not yet been crowned a king, was very fond of Empress Ruan.

But Empress Ruan had no interest in Emperor Zhaowen and rejected his feelings many times.

It was not until the two were sixteen years old that the late emperor arranged their marriage. Before that, Empress Ruan had always been rude to Emperor Zhaowen.

But we found out that Miss Yuan was not opposed to the pregnancy and was even a little happy about it, which showed that she liked the father of the child.

Miss Yuan gave birth prematurely for unknown reasons. Her crying and Kong Haibo's talk of revenge must have been because she was betrayed by that man.

These circumstances do not match Emperor Zhaowen's situation."

When Lu Yanyan said this, he glanced at Li Jixin.

Both the guests at the food court and Princess Qing had mentioned in secret that when Ruan Xinyu was young, she was very fond of Prince Lin.

Li Jixin was puzzled by Lu Yanyan's look: "Aunt Lu, why are you looking at me?"

Lu Yanyan didn't say anything, but Zhao Xingwu spoke frankly.

"I was watching over the Food Court and Mingxiang Tower every day. During the days when you were fighting in the ring, I heard many people say that Queen Ruan was deeply in love with Prince Lin before her engagement."

Lu Fugui, Lu Changping, Lu Liang and Dalin all looked at Li Jixin.

Even Wang Xiao couldn't help but look at him thoughtfully.

Li Jixin was stunned. He only knew that Emperor Huiren once wanted to marry Ruan Xinyu to his father.

But he really didn't know what Ruan Xinyu felt for his father.

"Why are you looking at me like that? My father is definitely not the kind of person who will abandon his lover after having sex with him."

Gao Siwei also nodded: "It can't be the prince."

Lu Fugui touched his nose embarrassedly.

Although he is a man, he also has the right to gossip.

But Prince Lin doesn't seem like that kind of person.

Li Jixin knocked Lu Changping and Zhao Xingwu's heads hard.

Zhao Xingwu felt a little guilty, but he still felt that Li Jixin was overreacting. How could those princes and nobles be as loyal as them, the country people, when it comes to love?

Li Jixin rolled his eyes at Zhao Xingwu and smiled bitterly.

"Literati throughout the world always like to praise our grandfather for his deep love and his exclusive favor for one person. Yes, compared to other emperors, he was indeed devoted, but he ultimately compromised.

I understand him. He doesn't have the courage to change the rules set by his ancestors. He is also the only child of Emperor Yongle and cannot abandon his responsibilities.

But nothing in this world is perfect. Although my grandmother was a woman, she was more discerning than my grandfather.

If we had parted ways that day, my grandmother would have been like Song Shanzhang, the headmaster of Ziwei Academy. Even if she remained single for the rest of her life, her brilliance would never be overshadowed by anyone."

Emperor Huiren, who was then the Crown Prince Hongxuan, fell in love with Qi Miaowan, the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, at first sight.

But the Qi family is one of the five major families, and the daughters of the five major families cannot become queens. This is the agreement made by the ancestors of the Dayu Kingdom and the five major families.

Although Emperor Yongle was open-minded, he did not agree to his only son's request.

Prince Hongxuan went to the battlefield alone and narrowly escaped death.

Emperor Yongle was frightened. On the one hand, he ordered his only son to return, and on the other hand, he appointed Qi Miaowan as the concubine in the Eastern Palace.

The girls of the Qi family have their own pride, and Qi Miaowan is naive and not suitable to marry into the royal family.

Qi Miaowan's father went to the palace to ask Emperor Yongle to withdraw the arranged marriage for Qi Miaowan.

Qi Miaowan returned to Guanzhong Prefecture and planned to open a girls' academy in Guanzhong Prefecture.

Although she is naive, she is someone who can let go of things. For her, love is not everything in life.

But Prince Hongxuan chased to the Qi family, knelt in the Qi family's ancestral hall for three days and two nights, and finally succeeded in marrying Qi Miaowan.

This incident was not only a compromise between Prince Hongxuan and Emperor Yongle and the ancestral system, but also a compromise between the Qi family and Qi Miaowan and the imperial power.

After that, Emperor Huiren favored Concubine Qi throughout her life. Everyone admired the emperor's deep love, but no one would think of a woman of extraordinary talent who gave up her own career for the sake of imperial power.

After all, Emperor Huiren was his biological grandfather who loved him, so Li Jixin was not in a position to comment too much on his grandfather's behavior, but that did not mean he thought Emperor Huiren was always right.

"Grandmother never suffered any injustice in the palace. Great-grandmother treated her like a daughter, Grandfather respected and loved her, and my father was also very filial to her.

My grandmother often said that she did not regret marrying into the royal family, and that she was much luckier than most women in the world.

However, she still felt regretful that she had not been able to fulfill her and Song Shanchang's childhood dream. They wanted to open more girls' academies to give them more ways to make a living.

Lu Yanyan's eyes turned red and he lowered his head.

She heard Han Huaiyu talk about Song Mingzhi's plan, but unfortunately, under the patriarchal system, Ziwei Academy was already in jeopardy.

Song Mingzhi was so determined to have the students of Ziwei Academy win a place in the college competition, just to prove that as long as women were given an equal opportunity, they could do better than most men.

She originally thought that as long as the students of Ziwei Academy could achieve a good ranking in the college competition, she could reopen another women's academy.

Unfortunately, even if Han Huaiyu achieved a ranking, it would be very difficult to open another girls' college in today's Luocheng.

Li Jixin continued, "My royal grandfather didn't fulfill his promise of a lifelong couple, but my father is not one who will be influenced by outside influences.

When he was fifteen, he met his mother, whose family was humble. If a marriage were granted, the court officials would have second thoughts. Moreover, his mother's family was of no help to his father.

His grandfather had opposed it, his great-grandmother had opposed it, and even his second uncle couldn't understand him. But since his father had made his choice, he wouldn't change his mind.

Later, it was only after my grandmother's persuasion that my grandfather finally agreed to grant me the marriage. My father would never show any respect to any woman other than my mother.

My father once told me and my older brother that for a royal man, marrying only one woman doesn't conflict with holding imperial power. If there is a conflict, it's probably because I'm not resolute enough.

His bond with my mother is as strong as gold, so why would he mess with other women after meeting my mother?"

When Li Jixin said this, he glared at Zhao Xingwu.

Zhao Xingwu lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly...
