My Ferocious Tigress Wife
Translator: 549690339
Emperor Yu Heng was wholeheartedly paving the way for King Xin âan. He arranged the marriage of Princess Xuancheng to the son of Sikong Xiaoâs family, so he wanted to pull Sikong Xiao to King Xinâ anâs side. A few days ago, he even made King Xin âan acknowledge Chief Justice Xi as his master. How could the Emperor let go of the marriage of King Xinâ an? This was the most important political cost.
âThe emperor is busy every day, how can he know everything?âXie Xian did not hesitate to give Emperor Epsilon a soft nail. The royal family was heartless to begin with, and the Emperor of the Song family especially loved to kill each other. He was blinded by greed to marry into the royal family and send his younger sister into the tigerâs mouth.
In fact, ever since Noble Consort Liu had not died, Xie Xian had been jumping up and down to choose a princess for the Xin âan Prince, just in case she had designs on the Xie family one day. How could he miss such a good opportunity to meet Zhugeâs family in Kuaiji?
Between the royal family and the Zhuge family, it was obvious who to choose.
Emperor Yu Hengâs desire for the noble daughter of the aristocratic family to be the Xin An Princess Consort was already clear.
After all, the Xie family was the only one who could compete with the Langya Wang family.
First of all, Wang Xie was considered a top aristocratic family. Secondly, ever since Xie Xian became an official, he had been appreciated by Emperor Yu Heng. It could be said that the monarch and his subjects were in harmony.
In order to better pull him into Xin An Kingâs battle team, they had to get married.
As for the Xie family, they were about the same age as the Xin âan Prince. The third branchâs daughter, Xie Shan, was already engaged, and the remaining daughters were still young. The second branch was born from a concubine, and their qualifications for marriage were limited in the aristocratic families. They would be picky, so Emperor Yu Heng naturally would not mistreat the Xinâ an Prince.
Therefore, the only one to choose was Xie Wan, who was the eldest daughter and Xie Xianâs younger sister. It was enough.
âI wonder if the emperor still remembers the famous Zhuge family of Langya in the previous dynastyâ¦â
Emperor Yu Heng was so shocked that he forgot to change his expression.âHis familyâ¦Thereâs someone else?â
âThatâs right.â
Xie Xian smiled and said,â There are many talented people in the Zhuge family in Langya. They have been outstanding in the previous dynasty. However, the Zhuge family has never had a prosperous population. In addition, the previous dynasty has been in war for years. The heroes are competing for the deer. People only think that the Zhuge family has no successor.ââ
âThis time, 1 was ordered to quell the rebellion. Only then did 1 know that the chief historian beside the prefect of Kuaiji is the Zhuge family of Langya. The prefect of Kuaiji had limited talent, but he was broad-minded and open-minded. He heard that the Zhuge family in the county was famous for their talent, so he invited him to be the chief historian in the mansion to make plans. He was indispensable in everything.â
âZhuge Changshi and 1 hit it off at first sight. We saw that he had a son named Zhong Xiu and Yu Ling. He was a young and talented man. So, we exchanged the Geng Tie with each other and made a marriage agreement. Weâll only get married in three years.â
Emperor Yu Heng was filled with regret.
He was the one who sent the person out. Xie Xian was not very willing at the beginning. If he did not go, where would he get married? Would it not properly fall on his son?
He couldnât ruin the marriage just because Zhuge was penniless. He knew that according to the rules of the aristocratic families, exchanging the invitation cards meant that they were engaged. It wasnât impossible to ruin the marriage. However, Xin âan King was currently cultivating his power and accumulating his reputation. If news of him snatching someone elseâs wife spread, it would be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.
Moreover, aristocratic families valued family status. Even if the Zhuge family in Langya was the only one left without a foundation, they were still the Zhuge family and had their own glory!
Of course, this only applied to the top aristocratic families.
If an ordinary small aristocratic family declined, then so be it.
â.. Matriarch Xiao also acknowledged it? Your mother agreed just like that?â âThe Zhuge Clan of Langya is known to the world, but they have declined for decades. Iâm afraid they donât have much left. Iâm afraid your sister will be wronged if she marries him.â
Xie Xian didnât mind.
âMarry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. Besides, donât you still have my Xie family?â
Emperor Yu Heng was rendered speechless.
Thatâs right, who lacked money? How could the Xie family be lacking?
As long as the Zhuge family was willing to accept it.
But then again, after getting engaged to Lady Xiao, he became more and more straightforward.
âAfter listening to what you said, I really want to see this Zhuge Young Master. What kind of Zhong Xiu and Yu Ling is he? He is able to make you like him so much, and he even arranged the marriage not long after we met.â
âWei Desheng, pass down the order to Zhugeâ¦Zhuge what?âEmperor Yu Heng suddenly realized that he hadnât even heard of this name before.
âZhuge Changshi, named Fu, also known as Zhongsi, is the son of Zhuge Shu.â
âTell the father and son to immediately set off for Jiankang.â
Wei Desheng responded and went out.
Since Xie Xian did not drink, Emperor Yu Heng could not force a sickly person to drink. He drank cup by cup until he was full. Emperor Yu Heng smacked his lips and said,
âMy dear, in your opinion, who is suitable to be the princess consort?â
Just now, Emperor Yu Heng had stopped and did not say anything, so Xie Xian did not embarrass him.
At this moment, Emperor Yu Heng didnât hide anything and directly gave Xie Qing his opinion. Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much, but sometimes he felt that his brain was not working as fast as before.
âWhat do you think, dear minister?â
Xie Xian was silent for a long time. Whoever he said it was going against the Crown Prince and offending others. Fortunately, he was not afraid of offending people.
âSince the emperor thinks highly of Tingwei Xi, why donât you marry him to show your friendship?â
Speaking of Chief Xi, Emperor Yuheng was filled with anger. He wanted Little Six to become Chief Xiâs disciple to help Little Six, but what was that old man telling Little Six every day?
Brothers were respectful, and the country was orthodox. They kept saying that they were protecting the interests of the Crown Prince.
This was like finding a living ancestor who was scolded every day. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI may not be willing to look at Xi Tingwei. Heâ¦On the Crown Princeâs side.â Emperor Yu Heng was mentally unbalanced. Those who didnât know better would think that the Crown Prince wasnât his biological son but his enemy.
âThe Crown Prince is indeed the rightful ruler of the country.â
â You, my beloved ministerâ¦â Wasnât he the one who reminded him that the crown prince had grown after three years of mourning for Imperial Concubine Liu?
Could it be that it was to cater to the aristocratic families âstrong opposition to him letting the Xinâ an King observe filial piety? It was not in line with etiquette and law, and it was undignified?
What was Xie Xian trying to do? He was the one who was human, and he was the one who was a ghost?!
Moreover, he was unwilling to marry Xiao Liu! Donât think that he couldnât tell!
âEmperor, please calm down.â Xie Xian smiled lightly, but he wasnât afraid of Emperor Yu Hengâs anger. The Emperor was like a firecracker, but it exploded and extinguished quickly.
âWhat Chief Justice Xi said is not wrong. Brothers should respect each other. Is he going to teach the sixth king to be disrespectful to his elders?â
âItâs just that weâre from different standpoints.â
Emperor Epsilon was enlightened. Thatâs right, Chief Justice Xi had only become a monk and taught Little Six for two and a half days. How could he be willing to serve Little Six for such a small friendship?
However, once the marriage was established, Little Six would become Tingwei Xiâs grandson-in-law, and he would be planning for Little Six with all his heart.
After all, if it was successful, the Xi family would be the mother of the country, and the Xi family would become the royal family. With the protection of the emperor, wouldnât the top aristocratic families be able to control them?
Xi Ting Wei had a high position and authority, and the Xi Family had many talented disciples.. They had a lot of power in their hands, and they were much more helpful than the Xie Family relying on Xie Xian alone!
