Chapter 64: The ex-husband of the prince who time-traveled 12

Xie Hui was not at all surprised when he heard the news, and ordered someone to call the prince over.

Thinking about it now, the heroine who traveled through time in the original plot seems to have nothing wrong with it, it’s just this era that’s wrong.

How can an educated woman in modern times be willing to be a member of a man with three wives and four concubines? They are free and completely independent, while women trapped in the backyard, even wives, will be regarded as their husbands by others vassal.

What's more, in the original world, the crown prince still hides a cousin that he can't ask for, and he has done all absurd things for that cousin, which is seen by many people.

Xie Shen was confused when he was called by his father, and after bowing slightly to salute his father, he accidentally saw the memorial in front of the case, and felt relieved, knowing that he was marrying the princess again.

When he was young, he would naively ask his father if he would not marry a wife, but now he won't. It's not that he can't, but that he doesn't want to.

How could my father have worked for the people of Liming for decades, and the country that was going to be handed over to him, how could it fall into the hands of others.

"I heard that Shen'er often goes to your grandmother's house recently?"

In the end, Song Guiren's father was beheaded directly according to the rules, but it did not harm his family. After all, the family that was wrongly convicted by Song Guiren's father was still in good condition when they were sent back on the road of exile.

Some may feel that it is unfair to the victim to reduce the punishment of the perpetrator on the grounds that the victim has not suffered serious harm.

But Xie Hui felt that the protection was not for the perpetrator. If given a choice, most of the victims and their families would be willing to prevent the perpetrator from being punished too severely in exchange for the safety of themselves or their family members.

Song Guiren's mother and younger brothers and younger sisters found a small courtyard in the capital to live in. Song Guiren's mother embroidered to support the children. The life was a little poor, but they could live on.

Xie Hui has seen what those lunatics who are driven into a corner look like, so he never pushes people into a corner.

"Yes."

When Xie Shen heard his father mentioning this, he panicked for a moment, and then he hurriedly explained without waiting for his father to continue asking:

"Father, this son wants to send the Wang family back to her ancestral home, give her some silver taels, and ask her to bring my son, mother and concubine back together."

The present prince is no longer the ignorant child at the beginning, nor is it because Song Guiren is his mother that he thinks that she is right in everything.

Ever since the concubine mother wanted to use him to get close to the emperor, Xie Shen seemed to have been lifted the veil in front of him, seeing the concubine mother's true face very clearly.

The concubine mother has never really loved him, let alone the emperor father. What she wants is not her own admiration and father's doting, what she wants is the position of the head of the harem, holding the power in the palm of her hand, so that the rest of the concubines will obey her orders.

She loves no one, she only loves himself.

"Um?"

This development caught Xie Hui a little off guard. Originally, he was thinking, if Xie Shen still likes that cousin now, which teacher should he help her find the most suitable.

Even if she hadn't learned it since she was a child, find a few more teachers and put in more effort to let her learn it slowly, or set up more female officials in the palace to help her.

If Xie Shen really likes it, there is always a way for Xie Hui to help him solve it.

Now that there is no one in the hall, there is no need to worry about tarnishing the reputation of the cousin, so Xie Hui asked directly.

"You went to your grandfather's house because...not that cousin?"

Xie Shen's face flushed suddenly when asked by his father, subconsciously wanted to wave his hand to deny it, but when he thought of going, he would meet that cousin lady on the corridor by chance, and he had no intention of looking over, she was like It ran away quickly like a little rabbit, as if it was startled by the outsider.

After that, he forced his face to cool down, raised his head and looked at his father, and replied in a low voice:

"No, father, concubine mother, her personality is becoming more and more extreme now, and I want her mother, Wang, to bring her back to her ancestral home, and I hope my father will allow her."

Xie Hui nodded and agreed to Xie Shen's request without thinking about it.

After all, if you calculate it carefully, Song Guiren did not do anything wrong, but he is just plain disgusting.

As a human daughter, there is nothing wrong with pleading for her father, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to compete for His Majesty's favor as a concubine. The only thing worthy of criticism is that she wants to use her son.

But Xie Shen, the person involved, was not willing to care about it, and was even willing to let Song Guiren go back to his hometown with her mother, so Xie Hui had nothing to say.

Perhaps it is because of the cruel current situation of this era, teaching women to treat their father as their **** at home and their husband as their **** when they get married. The tragic character created by this era made Xie Hui relentlessly punish her too cruelly.

"allow."

"You really don't like that cousin?"

Xie Hui first agreed, and then asked him carefully, trying to find out his own thoughts.

After all, since Xie Shen does not resist the matter of marrying a wife, the date of setting the crown princess is probably the nearest.

Xie Shen's dependence on his father since he was a child has not changed until now. He walked to the side of Ruanta and sat on the footrest, leaning his head on his father's lap, just like when he was a child, talking to his father own ideas.

"Father, I do think that Miss Cousin is very cute. But I also know that she is not suitable to be a princess."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

Although this is already a fact that both Xie Hui and the commissioner agree on, Xie Hui is still curious about how a young man who has not reached the crown and should be full of affection can see through this.

"When Erchen left, I heard from Mrs. Wang that the cousin didn't want to be a concubine, and what she yearned for was the love of a couple for a lifetime in the storybook. But Erchen, as the crown prince, how could it be like that?"

"I don't think she is whimsical. In the final analysis, it's just not suitable. I and her choose the right person."

When it comes to the period of youthful love that he wants to let go, Xie Shen's words are much more difficult.

"Furthermore, even if she can accept that her son has others, her status is not suitable to be a crown princess."

"I can't let the rest of the concubines' family backgrounds be lower than hers just because she is alone. If the family status of the concubines is higher than hers, then if there is a conflict between them, who should the minister help."

"Ms. Wang said that she only wants to marry a husband who will take her into consideration. An ordinary woman is fine, but a princess cannot be like this."

Because he was brought up by his father, Xie Shen resembles Xie Hui in many ways, and doesn't value feelings.

In other words, Xie Shen can use absolute rationality and calmness to suppress those wrong feelings.

There must be regrets, but no one can be perfect in one's life.

"Father, I don't want to worry about the affairs of the harem. The married woman really needs the concubine to deal with it."

"What my son wants is a qualified princess."

Xie Shen saw all of this very clearly, and there was no chance in his heart.

"The minister is no better than the father and the emperor to teach the son, and there must not be only one person in the harem."

Xie Hui didn't know for a while whether the son was praising him or himself.

"Father, my son shouldn't bring a woman who is not suitable for the deep palace into the deep palace. If that young lady married into an ordinary family, she might be pampered and pampered by her husband for the rest of her life."

"Then what if the husband she married is not good?"

When Xie Shen heard his father's words, he tilted his head in doubt.

"The involvement between my son and her ends here. Whether the future is good or bad has nothing to do with my son."

Since he planned to draw a clear line of boundaries with her, Xie Shen naturally wouldn't engage in such a thing.

After speaking clearly, the stone that had been weighing on Xie Shen's heart seemed to be removed.

"The minister has already discussed with the Wang family, and the silver couple will order the guards to deliver it tomorrow. When she leaves Beijing, she will come to the gate of the palace to pick up the concubine mother."

Xie Shen didn't want his mother and concubine to be trapped in the palace, to be so crazy and immersed in her own world all the time, thinking that her father loved her. It might be better to let her go back to the place where she was a child with her grandmother.

"Then you want to see that cousin again? Explain this matter clearly with her."

Xie Shen stood up and originally planned to bow to his father and bid farewell, but when he heard this sentence, he bent over for a moment, then shook his head and replied with a smile:

"In total, we just saw each other twice in the long corridor, and we didn't even say a word. What's there to say clearly?"

"Father, it's getting late now, you should go to bed earlier, and my son will leave first."

On the second day, Xie Hui asked Concubine Ning to help her meet the girls of the right age in the capital, and planned to appoint a crown princess and a side concubine first.

It doesn't matter if you're older or younger, you're still years away from getting married.

The final choice was two women from aristocratic families in Beijing. After making an imperial decree and making a marriage contract, they entered the palace one month later to study palace affairs with Concubine Ning.

And taking advantage of the few years before the prince's marriage, there were not many government affairs, Xie Hui planned to take Xie Shen together to go on a private tour of Weifu.

In summer, there are floods in the south, Xie Hui wants to take Xie Shen to see for himself what the disaster-stricken area really looks like.

He had this idea in his mind a long time ago, but he had always been concerned that the child was still young and his resistance was not as strong as that of an adult, so he was afraid that he would also be infected with the disease.

Now it happens that Xie Shen is not young and his temperament is mature enough, and Xie Hui plans to abdicate on the day of his wedding, now it is appropriate to take him out to meet the people under the natural disaster.

"Father, can you survive?"

After so many years, the sentence that Xie Hui made up at the beginning is still firmly in Xie Shen's mouth.

"No problem."

After arranging the affairs of the capital, His Majesty left the capital with the prince. Now that the flood in the south has receded, what remains is to resettle the people after the disaster and rebuild their homes for the people.

This is the first time Xie Shen has directly seen the appearance of floods. Occasionally, floating corpses can be seen on the largest river, and soon someone from the government came to salvage and burn them.

According to the experience of the local government for so many years, if the corpses after the flood are piled up for too long, they are prone to disease.

After seeing those corpses, Xie Shen went back to the place where he lived, threw up so much that he didn't even use his dinner, and only drank a little water.

The post-disaster reconstruction was guided by Xie Hui, and it was faster than before. Xie Hui allocated some money from his own private treasury to resettle the victims.

When they left this place, Wanmin knelt down to see him off and gave him an umbrella.

Going to this place, Xie Shen is obviously much more stable than he used to be immature, and he doesn't deal with things on paper like before, but puts himself in the situation and thinks carefully about how this matter will be for the common people.

Xie Hui always took him by his side, taught him meticulously, and patiently helped him make up for his imperfections.

Song Guiren was brought back to her ancestral home by her mother, but Song Guiren's younger sister was married in Beijing, Miss Biao lived in the house of Song Guiren's younger sister's husband, naturally she never left.

A few years passed in a blink of an eye, Xie Shen and January after the crown, according to the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites, Xie Hui took the initiative to take the Zen throne and let the prince ascend the throne.

In fact, according to Xie Hui's physical condition, he could sit on the throne for another few decades, but he didn't intend to keep Xie Shen under pressure in his best age, so that he could only be a prince.

Simply give up the position and let Xie Shen come to show his grand plans.

When the new emperor came to the throne, a queen conferring ceremony was held at the same time, the imperial power was peacefully transitioned, and the change of emperor, which is rare in history, did not cause half a life.

The new empress Xie Hui also met a few times. She was originally at home, and her grandmother taught her very well, and then she studied with Concubine Ning for so many years, and she couldn't fault it.

The most rare thing is that this queen is also transparent. In her eyes, the glory of the mother's family is more important than the love of her children. Her mother's relatives are also thinking about her kindness. will be sent to the palace.

Xie Shen saw the comparison before and after the flood, and after ascending the throne, he was more diligent in political affairs than the Supreme Emperor.

The empress never blamed him, but carefully helped him manage the harem well, and did not let Xie Shen bother about these trivial matters.

Although Xie Shen was very stingy in his love for the queen, he also gave her enough respect and love. He never hesitated to show how much he valued the queen in front of outsiders, and promoted the queen's mother's family many times.

Until one day, when the queen was looking at the account books in the palace, a nanny came in and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a girl at the gate of the palace, and I begged to see you many times."

"Now it is still said that if you don't see her, she will slam her head to death at the gate of the palace."

"The old slave has someone to check, it is a cousin of His Majesty's grandfather's family."
