That night, Xiao Qi Zhi returned to Yong An Mansion with some bad news.

“What? Father emperor wants to marry eighth younger brother’s family’s An He to Zhen Shu?” Princess Qing Shan was a little shocked.
Although she is a princess, Princess Qing Shan herself did not want her son to marry a princess or have a princess come in.
Yong An Mansion had always been loyal to His Majesty, and did not participate in the battle for the throne.

Therefore, Princess Qing Shan married eldest son to Mrs.
Yang, and her third son to Mrs.
Qin, who was the daughter of her teacher.
Only the second one was delayed.

At the beginning, father emperor wanted to marry An Yi from his eldest brother’s family to Zhen Shu.
But, Yong An Mansion did not approve of it, so he acquiesced.
Then, Zhen Shu left the capital to look for Su Su.
He was still unmarried.

Now, why did the emperor bring up old things again?!

Princess Qing Shan frowned.

“I heard that Prince Lu is seriously ill.
Perhaps he will die soon,” explained Xiao Qi Zhi.

Princess Qing Shan also knew that the eighth younger brother came from Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su.
In those days, father emperor welcomed Mrs.
Su as the Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine.
How many people envied and resented her? When she entered the palace, she had eighth younger brother, who was born with a deficiency.
It was unknown if this result was due to outside machinations.
Father emperor was a person with long-lasting feelings.
He had treated Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su the same for many years.
Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su gave birth to her eighth younger brother and father emperor did not allow her to give birth since he was reluctant for her to suffer the pain of childbirth.
Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su was frail and sickly.
Father emperor was worried about her when Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su insisted on giving birth to her eighteenth younger brother at the age of 45.
Her eighteenth younger brother was healthy, but as Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su gave birth to a child at a late age, she hurt her body and passed away not long after.
As a result, Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su became the white moonlight1 in father emperor’s heart and nobody could replace her.

Father emperor now mentioned Zhen Shu’s marriage once more.
If Yong An Mansion still refused, then they really couldn’t tell good from bad.
In addition, eighth younger brother had a weak son.
He only had one daughter, An He, who father emperor loved the most since she resembled Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su.
Emperor father’s willingness to marry An He into Yong An Mansion showed that he also trusted and valued Yong An Mansion.

Xiao Qi Zhi saw Princess Qing Shan’s cautious expression and persuaded her.
“I know that the princess has the same thought as mine.
We don’t want the mansion to participate in the struggle for the throne.
Fortunately, the eighth prince is ill and only has one daughter, Imperial Princess An He.
And, the eighteenth prince is even younger.”

Princess Qing Shan nodded.
Yes, An He had no brothers.
Eighteenth younger brother was only 3 this year.
If father emperor really wanted to marry someone, then An He was the best choice.

When Xiao Qi Zhi saw that Princess Qing Shan understood, he said with a smile, “His Majesty will make an announcement of the marriage tomorrow.
Please remember to bring Zhen Shu into the palace at that time.”

“I will have to talk to my mother about this matter.
Today, we were still enthusiastically discussing which lady would be suitable for Zhen Shu.” Princess Qing Shan sighed lightly.

An He was different from A-Yao.
An He was the descendant of the imperial family.
She was smart and beautiful, and very much loved.
It was said that she had a quiet temperament, but it was unknown if that was true.

Princess Qing Shan was a little worried.
She feared that the current peace in the household would break and things would be shaken up.

“I’m going to talk to mother.” Xiao Qi Zhi patted his wife on the shoulder.
They had been married for many years and what his wife worried about were also his worries.
However, since this matter had been decided, he could only face it calmly.

The next day, His Majesty announced a decree marrying Imperial Princess An He, the daughter of Prince Lu, to Yong An Mansion’s second son.

Because of Prince Lu’s body, the imperial decree came in a hurry.
The date of the marriage was also set in a hurry.
But, the wedding didn’t seem to be in a rush at all.
The prince was marrying his daughter off.
Yong An Mansion was receiving a new daughter-in-law.
Everything was well prepared.
The wedding was lively.

Two months after Imperial Princess An He’s wedding, Prince Lu passed away.

Imperial Princess An He was newly married, so she had to keep her filial piety behind closed doors.
She didn’t have much contact with the others in the mansion.
The people in the mansion were unable to determine her temperament, so the mansion was stable for a while.

Li Su thought it was unusual.
From what she knew, Concubine Su, who was the biological mother of Prince Lu and the 18th prince, was the old emperor’s true love.
As the old emperor’s beloved granddaughter, the old emperor decided to marry her into the hereditary Yong An Mansion.
No matter how the regime changed in the future, her life could be guaranteed.

As his only son left by his true love, the old emperor would have arranged a future for him.
So, what was with this back road?

Li Su guessed that there were two possibilities.
First, the old emperor was in good health, so he could last a few more years until the 18th prince grew up safely, then pass the throne to him.
Second, the emperor’s condition wasn’t great, so he had a decree before he died saying that the new emperor must take care of his youngest son.

The possibility of the first option was quite high.

From what she could tell of the plot, the young emperor and the prince regent were the first kind.
But it might be because the timing was wrong or something else went wrong that the court was controlled by the prince regent.

So, who was the prince regent? Li Su was very anxious, but she couldn’t show it.
She could only secretly inquire about the older princes.

Li Su managed to hide her anxiety from everyone but Wang Si Qin.

She didn’t understand why there was something wrong with her mother after her second aunt entered the house.
Was her mother really interested in her second uncle, so that’s why she forgot herself?

But, her mother and her second uncle didn’t get along like they were in a relationship.

Wang Si Qin was puzzled.
Finally, she took the initiative to ask her mother.

Li Su was surprised.
She lowered her head and thought about it.
“Maybe it is weird for mother to say this, but mother is really worried.”

She then told Wang Si Qin about her guess.

Wang Si Qin looked at Li Su in surprise.
“Mother, why do you think so much?” What her mother said was too shocking, but her mother didn’t say this to just anyone.
Her mother told her.
Was it okay for her to think that, to her mother, she was a person who her mother could discuss important matters with?

“You can see that His Majesty greatly favoured Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su.
Your second aunt is now in the mourning period, so it isn’t easy to enter the palace often.
But, one can go into the palace once in a while to be granted an award.
His Majesty shared food and drink, and spent a lot of time with her, so he has never forgotten her.
This is true for your second aunt.
The eighteenth prince is the youngest son from Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Su.
You tell me, what will His Majesty do with him?” Li Su didn’t think too much.
She simply believed in Wang Si Qin’s IQ.

Sure enough, Wang Si Qin pondered over it for a moment, then said, “If you really love someone, then you would naturally give them the best things.
However, the eighteenth prince is young.
The ruler of the country is suspicious…” Wang Si Qin was very shocked.

Li Su saw that Wang Si Qin had seen it too, and couldn’t help but feel pleased.
She was a transmigrator and knew the plot, but Si Qin thought of this with only a few words from her.
Si Qin had such a good IQ!

Wang Si Qin lowered her head.
She didn’t see approval on Li Su’s face.
“His Majesty will marry the princess into Yong An Mansion so they can support the new emperor in the future, but…” Then, Yong An Mansion was in danger!

Wang Si Qin then raised her head.
“Mother, I don’t know if uncle or the others have thought of this, but since we have thought of it, we should talk to them!”

Li Su smiled.
“You’re right.
You should go talk to them!”

Wang Si Qin was a little surprised.
“I’m going to tell them? Mother, will they believe me?”

“Silly child.
How would you know if you haven’t tried? Remember, you have to show your intelligence appropriately.
After a while, the people around you will respect your opinions,” encouraged Li Su.
Since Wang Si Qin decided to take an unusual path, then it was best if she showed off how excellent she was as soon as possible.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Si Qin nodded.
She felt that it was meaningless to hide her ability.
If she wanted to get something, she had to give something! She wanted others to respect her opinions, so she had to let people know that she had the ability and wisdom.

That night in Xiao Qi Zhi’s study, the men, including Xiao Qi Zhi, Xiao Shun Zhi, Xiao Zhen Yuan, and Xiao Zhen Shu looked at Wang Si Qin in amazement as she talked.

It wasn’t Wang Si Qin’s speculations that shocked them.
They had known of these things a long time ago and had been discussing how to deal with them.

They were shocked that Wang Si Qin could think of this at a young age.
This cleverness and keen sense were far better than most children!

Xiao Qi Zhi couldn’t hide the admiration in his eyes, but then he looked at Li Su.
“Su Su, do you know what you are doing?”

“Eldest uncle, I know.
Si Qin is different from ordinary children.
What she wants is also different from ordinary children.
As her mother, I support all her decisions,” Li Su said proudly.

“Is that why you wrote those scripts?” the second master, Xiao Shun Zi, asked with a smile.

“Yes.
Si Qin is very smart and motivated.
I am afraid that her intelligence and her ambition will be used incorrectly and will do her more harm than good!” said Li Su, not evading the question.

When Li Su talked about this, Wang Si Qin was very calm.
She knew her mother’s intentions and she was very grateful.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
From Xiao Qi Zhi and the others’ reactions, she had already guessed this.
“It turned out that you all thought of these things already.
I was worrying too much.”

Xiao Zhen Yuan laughed and patted Wang Si Qin on the head.
“You have told your uncles.
Your uncles are very happy!” If she could clearly see the happenings in the mansion, but kept her mouth shut, then it wouldn’t be good.

Wang Si Qin was very calm.

Xiao Qi Zhi was solemn.
He was hesitant.
After a long while of staring at Wang Si Qin, he asked, “Si Qin, uncle is seriously asking you.
Do you regret it?”

Wang Si Qin’s eyes lit up.
Here was her opportunity! “Uncle, I won’t regret it.
I don’t want to just be a housewife, who has a husband and child.
I don’t want to leave my honour and happiness in the hands of others.
I want to control my own destiny.
I want to be able to rely on myself and use my own efforts to gain the respect of others.
I want to be the most dazzling existence in the crowd!” she said seriously.

Everyone looked at Wang Si Qin cautiously.
A while later, Xiao Qi Zhi said, “Okay.
Except for the culture class, the other classes will be suspended.
You will come to the study every night and your second uncle and I will teach you!”
