Chapter 370 Mission 035
As the time-traveling male protagonist, Situ Zhen has the halo of the protagonist. It is not easy for Xiao Yu's forces outside the palace to hinder him. He will always fail due to various unexpected mistakes.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu has already experienced the power of the protagonist's halo, so he just gave it a try. He ordered people to be careful and used tricks behind his back to let those who had a grudge against the hero stand in front, without letting the hero find out. He is the mastermind behind this.
Although Xiao Yu prevented Situ Zhen from making a splash at the second princess's flower-viewing banquet, Situ Zhen still successfully passed the exam as shown in the plot and inherited the Dukedom of Qi. Now he is preparing to join the court. Obviously he is not satisfied with being a prince with no real power.
Xiao Yu was listening to Concubine Shu talking and thinking about how to use the male protagonist. Suddenly he heard the male protagonist's name from Concubine Shu. He couldn't help but look at Concubine Shu blankly: "What did the concubine just say?"
Concubine Shu repeated with a worried look on her face: "It is said that Tu Zhen of the Qi State Company is interested in becoming the master. Now the only princesses to be married are you and the fourth princess..."
The third princess and the fourth princess are close in age, so the third princess who is the eldest will definitely be married next. Even if the Duke of Qi, who is interested in becoming the master, insists on marrying the fourth princess by name, the emperor will marry the third princess first, and then the fourth princess, just because the elders and younger ones are in order.
Therefore, Concubine Shu was very worried about her fake princess son. If his identity was exposed after being married off, neither she nor her two sons would end well.
Concubine Shu recalled how careful she had been in order to hide her youngest son's identity over the years. Even when her youngest son was sick, she didn't dare to call the imperial doctor. She usually performed Ping'an pulse diagnosis herself, lest the imperial doctor could tell her son's gender.
Especially when the child was young, she was worried about being discovered. She never took care of her younger son without relying on others. Therefore, her eldest son was extremely jealous of her "sister", and the two children had been estranged since childhood. Only when her younger son grows up and becomes sensible, and knows how to hide, can she let go.
Now that the child is fifteen, Concubine Shu thought about the consequences if the fake princess got married and her identity was exposed. She had a terrible thought in her heart. If the third princess died suddenly because of the queen... She had a ferocious look on her face for a moment, and then He quickly restrained himself, took a deep breath, and suppressed his previous thoughts.
Concubine Shu was thinking about various plans in her mind, but Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to her. He was still surprised that the male protagonist Situ Zhen actually wanted to be the master.
When you marry a princess, you cannot take concubines casually. This is a clear rule in the original work. Even if the princess has no children, the prince-son-in-law can only adopt the princess and cannot take concubines. Therefore, in the original work, the male protagonist is also very reluctant to marry the third princess, the original owner. If the owner takes over, he will not be able to have any of his confidante. It's just that the original owner, the princess, was more unwilling than him, which deeply hurt his self-esteem, so he hated this arrogant and domineering third princess.
Why is the male protagonist so crazy now that he wants to take the initiative? Could it be that he fell in love with the fourth princess at first sight?
Xiao Yu guessed, and hurriedly said goodbye to Concubine Shu, and then ordered someone to find out why the male protagonist wanted to be the master.
Although he doesn't have much power at hand, he has developed a lot secretly, including those from all three religions and nine schools. And because the Duke of Qi's mansion was in constant internal strife, like a sieve, his men easily found out the news that Situ Zhen wanted the Lord.
Situ Zhen didn't find out why Shang Master didn't find out, but his subordinates brought Xiao Yu news that shocked him - Situ Zhen wanted to marry the third princess!

#He regards the male protagonist as his enemy, but the male protagonist wants to have sex with him#
Of course Xiao Yu would not think that Situ Zhen just met him once and liked him so much that he would rather give up a large flower garden. Although he was indeed beautiful in women's clothing, he did not think that the stallion man would be attracted by the beauty of this body. Confused, in the original work, when the male protagonist saw the beautiful third princess, wasn't he very clear-headed and rational and wanted to cancel the engagement?
So Xiao Yu suspected that Situ Zhen felt that he was deeply favored by Emperor Cheng'an and wanted to benefit from him!
Don't those families who want to have a master see the value of the princess' status? Especially the favored princess is more valuable. Didn't his cheap fourth brother also become a good sister from being not close to her before?
Xiao Yu, who felt that Situ Zhen had ill intentions, did not waste any time and ran to Xuanyi Hall to see Emperor Cheng'an. He said straight to the point: "Father, I heard from my mother and concubine that the Duke of Qi wants to be the master?"
Emperor Cheng'an nodded and asked: "Do you like Duke Qi?" During these days, Tu Zhen of the Qi State Company had a good reputation in the capital. He had gained a lot of limelight. He had washed away his reputation as a playboy and received praise from a famous scholar. He also had a long history. You have to be handsome and handsome.
Xiao Yu shook his head, and there was no trace of shyness on his face. He only said coldly: "Those people are just interested in my status as a princess and my father's favor for me, and they want to take advantage of it, so I don't like them. !”
He looked at Emperor Cheng'an with bright eyes: "Father, can I make the decision on my marriage? If I don't like it, I would rather not accept it than give in to it!"
Emperor Cheng'an looked at the third daughter in front of him and felt that the pride on her face and the brilliance in her eyes when she said this were exactly the same as his. He didn't care whether the request was in compliance with the rules, so he immediately agreed.
Concubine Shu was relieved when the imperial edict allowed the three princesses to get married on their own, while the others were disappointed and fearful.
And no one knew what Emperor Cheng'an was thinking. He verbally promised the third princess that there was still room for change, but Emperor Cheng'an would not be able to regret it in the future even though he issued the imperial edict.
After Xiao Yu took his own marriage into his own hands, he was pestered several times by the male protagonist Situ Zhen. Perhaps the male protagonist was really fascinated by the beauty of this body and even sent flowers to woo him. She used poetry and other means to pursue him, which made him embarrassed.
Of course, she had never been pursued by a man, but Xiao Yu thought that now that she was dressed as a woman, she was not embarrassed for too long, and she only firmly refused again and again.
But probably the best thing for the male protagonist is what he can't get. After being rejected by him several times, he became addicted. He didn't go around having sex, but instead worked hard to gain favor in front of him.
No one can keep a cold face when being pleased by others, especially when the person who pleases you is really of some use value.
When Situ Zhen was trying to please him and whether he wanted to pursue him or not, he just showed himself in front of him like a peacock spreading his wings. He was very conclusive about current affairs and government affairs, and he did not rely entirely on cheating methods of time travel. He had a lot of ink in his belly.
This made Xiao Yu look at him differently. Although he hated the way the male protagonist looked affectionate in front of him, considering that he planned to be the 'Queen', there was someone in this ancient society who could keep up with his thinking. The time traveler minister is not bad. At least when making some reforms, he does not need to be personally involved in causing hatred. He can push the male protagonist to step forward and block the gun!
With this thought, Xiao Yu's attitude towards Situ Zhen became much gentler.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In this big society, Xiao Yu, the third princess, got close to the Duke of Qi. He also treated the Duke of Qi with a gentle attitude, and rumors were flying all over the place.
Xiao Yu didn't care, but Emperor Cheng'an still asked him a few questions: "Are you attracted to that Situ Zhen? I heard that you often talk and laugh with him these days?"
Xiao Yu helped Emperor Cheng'an study the ink, as if he didn't see the slight frown on Emperor Cheng'an's face, and only replied calmly: "Why did your father believe those rumors? I talked to Situ Zhen several times, but it was not true. He is interested. I just think he is very capable and does not talk rhetorically when talking about political affairs. I once asked him how to deal with post-disaster matters, and he bluntly stated more than 20 ways to deal with it, and every word made sense..." He added He repeated every sentence of Situ Zhen's remarks to Emperor Cheng'an, and finally came to a conclusion, "He is a practical person!"
In fact, Emperor Cheng'an had already discussed the issue of dealing with post-disaster matters with Xiao Yu who was beside him when he was correcting a memorial report on floods many days ago. Now that he hears Xiao Yu repeating Situ Zhen's methods, there are many things that can be compared with Xiao Yu's. What Ri said was correct, which surprised Emperor Cheng'an.
Emperor Cheng'an asked Xiao Yu a few more questions about the appointment of Situ Zhen, but Xiao Yu did not suggest re-employing him. Instead, he said: "Let him be sent to a poor small county for trial use. If he can achieve results, he will get more experience." Slowly promote and re-employ him." He felt that since Situ Zhen was not an official before his time travel, it would be better to start from the most ordinary county magistrate and slowly train him to adapt.
After hearing this, Emperor Cheng'an did not say whether it was good or bad, and asked some other political questions. Xiao Yu answered them one by one carefully from the perspective of an emperor.
After he finished answering, Emperor Cheng'an remained silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "If Han'er were born as a boy..."
Emperor Cheng'an realized that his words would bring trouble to his daughter, so he immediately stopped talking and glanced coldly at the third person in Xuanyi Hall besides him and his daughter.
The chief eunuch who had been waiting nearby silently lowered his head deeper.
Xiao Yu smiled softly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Emperor Cheng'an's words, and said with a smile: "Whether I am a boy or a girl, I am still my father's child!"
Emperor Cheng'an was stunned and sighed: "Yes! He is my child after all..." He closed his eyes, and then when he opened them again, he returned to his original appearance of a strategizing and calm emperor, as if he had just As if nothing had happened, he continued to review the memorials and occasionally chatted with Xiao Yu next to him.
However, Xiao Yu knew that this wise emperor really wanted to train him as his heir today.
Because after he left, Emperor Cheng'an decreed that Miss Zhao, whose reputation had been ruined, be given to the fourth prince Xiao Shengtian as his concubine.
