"Why are you running in such a hurry?"

The man's smile was gentle and somewhat loving.

The young man seemed to want to get closer, but he tried his best to restrain himself and carefully concealed his thoughts: "Sir, the student is done!"

The man hummed: "As expected."

The young man waited for a while but didn't hear any other compliments. His expression dropped and he said slightly disappointedly: "In your opinion, sir, these are all established futures, have they lost their novelty?"

The man said: "I don't have the ability to predict."

The young man asked directly: "In that case, why don't you see my husband happy for me? The eldest brother and the second brother have gone, and their unfavored mother has also gone. Now my father's most favored concubine is my mother-in-law.

, I am the most favored son."

His eyes were burning, filled with undisguised ambition.

"Of course, I am closer to the throne."

Because Mrs. Mi, a gentle and talkative flower, has been favored for many years and can best understand Wu Xian's thoughts. The two sons under her knees are also good at acting like coquettish people, making Wu Xian feel the long-lost love between husband and wife and the harmony between father and son.

As time went by, I put a lot of thought into treating these two concubines. Although Mrs. Mi's two sons were not as good as the two brothers, but compared with other concubine children who did not see Wu Xian three or five times throughout the year, the two brothers felt

His father's love is so partial that it is enviable.

The deep father-son love that the former enjoyed when he was a child?

The latter, relying on his non-threatening status as a commoner, earned a lot more, and most importantly, he did not have to shoulder Wu Xian's high expectations.

There are no expectations, any progress he makes is a surprise.

In his early years, Mrs. Mi's instructive teachings were still of some use. He would also be obedient and did not dare to have any thoughts of disrespecting his brother - Xiaozong should do his duty! However, Wu Xian's preference made him obedient.

His ambition sprouted.

The queen has no title, but the power of the middle palace is in the hands of her biological mother, Mrs. Mi. Her biological mother is second only to the queen, and she is only one rank away from the queen! The eldest brother has mediocre qualifications, the courtiers don't like it, and the father hates it. How can he be the heir apparent?

As for the second brother, he is brave, resourceful and talented, but it is a pity that he only has his eyes on the eldest brother, and he never likes to see his concubine brothers in private.

If the eldest brother goes up, he will definitely treat the queen as the queen mother. With this queen's vicious character, her biological mother, Mrs. Mi, will probably be the next Mrs. Qi. If the second brother is allowed to go up, it will not only be the biological mother who will suffer, but also a whole family.

Brothers emerged from the concubines. After some analysis, these two brothers were rejected!

His brother who was a direct descendant could not do it, but among the concubines, he was the best.

If he can be a big sect, why should he feel wronged and become a minor sect?

The admonitions given by A Niang's brothers and brothers were nothing more than a woman's shortsightedness. She had lived in the inner court for a long time and only knew how to please her father. She did not know the cruelty and complexity of the previous dynasty. However, he did not dare to openly disobey A Niang.

He plays the most obedient son with his mother-in-law.

Being ambitious alone is not enough.

A Niang does not have the support of her natal family, and she does not have the reliability of her uncle. Everything between mother and son is based on the favor of the father. Once these foundations are taken back by the father, the three of them will be shattered into pieces. He must build his own network.

.

Previously, he could use his so-called "distant relative" status to go around with the Xu family and win over the Xu family's support. However, after the Xu family entered the Kang state, he had no one to rely on. It was definitely not possible to bribe the courtiers openly and honestly.

My father is very sensitive to this kind of behavior.

You must have someone you trust to help you.

He initially set his sights on his future in-laws. After all, he was old enough, and his father had already considered the candidate. However, his family was of high status and was lukewarm towards him and closer to his second brother. He did not want to act rashly to avoid alarm.

The second brother.

When there is nothing to do, another village has a bright future.

Relatives from my mother's family came to look for me.

He originally thought it was some kind of shabby settlement that came to beat the autumn wind, but who would have expected that the person who came here was beautiful and elegant, and he could tell just by standing there that he was a good person among the people. There was a Chinese monogram hanging on his waist, his aura was restrained, and his eyes were unfocused.

Attracted by the wealth and wealth of the palace.

Only after a detailed discussion can we understand the cause and effect.

My mother-in-law has several sisters and two brothers in her family.

That year there was a severe drought, the fields failed to harvest, and the family was overwhelmed by heavy taxes. One of the two elder uncles was dragged to carry grain and serve as corvee, and the other was dragged to serve as a soldier. His maternal grandfather was the only male labor force.

Then I couldn't afford to get sick.

Life is unsustainable.

He could only sell his daughters for food.

Daughters have good and bad luck.

Needless to say, the bad ones are beautiful and white.

Those who were lucky, such as Mrs. Mi, not only survived, but also enjoyed prosperity and wealth for more than ten years. The other sister was not so lucky, but not bad either. She was sold to a wealthy family as a rough maid, followed by

The ladies of that family grew up together.

The head of the family was kind and generous. Seeing that she was quite talented, they asked her to be the queen's companion. Later, the whole family moved away to the southwest for some reason.

The young man was stunned after hearing this.

【So——Should I call you aunt? 】

[Xiao Lang is the heir of the royal family, and ordinary people dare not climb high.]

Mrs. Mi said angrily: [Why don’t you call the grassroots people? The elders are the elders. We are a family behind closed doors. How can a mud-legged person be so particular about his background? Quick, call aunt.]

The latter sentence was said to my son.

[Why doesn’t my aunt go to Kang State to seek high-ranking officials? 】

It is easier for female officials to be promoted in Kang State.

He was wary of this aunt who appeared suddenly, but after a conversation, he found that she was a great talent, and her manners and education were not bad at all, and she was no worse than courtiers and high-ranking officials.

Why did the other party suddenly come over to look for relatives?

Is there some conspiracy?

But my aunt said: [I can’t go.]

He wondered: [Why?]

The aunt smiled and said: [The reason why the grassroots came out this time is to perfect the way of being a scribe. Xiaolang should know that to perfect the way of being a scribe, you must meet certain stringent conditions. It's just that the opportunity is hard to find, and I don't know how many years I will spend outside, so I plan to first

I went back to my ancestral home to worship and comfort my ancestors. I thought I would see a few lonely tombs, but I never expected that the tombs would be brand-new and grand, so I asked about them along the way.】

Meeting sisters is also a blessing in this world.

He reacted: [Aunt is leaving?]

She nodded: [Reminiscing about old times and setting off in a few days.]

He recalled what his aunt had said before, and was slightly shocked - it is not easy to be a scribe, let alone to be diligent and perfect!

This aunt is really a big surprise.

He then asked what the conditions were for consummation. Although he didn't have much real power, he was his father's beloved son after all, and he might be able to help his aunt. In fact, he was testing the truth in his heart.

But his aunt looked at him with strange and unpredictable eyes.

[Xiao Lang is afraid it’s inappropriate.]

He frowned: [What's inappropriate?]

The aunt just glanced at Mrs. Mi and said nothing.

Mrs. Mi hosted a banquet to entertain relatives.

At the banquet, he was absent-minded.

Looking for an opportunity to ask for the answer to the question, my aunt said: [I just talked with my sister, she only hopes that Alang will be an ordinary royal child, and has no ambition, so - not suitable. 】

Hearing the word "ambition", he became wary again.

Because of her kind invitation, her aunt stayed for a few more days, and he often came to her to fulfill her filial piety, and his contact with her became more frequent. He used the situation in the court to test his aunt, and her aunt could always analyze the pros and cons, which made him enlightened.

Isn't the help he needs right in front of him?

The maternal aunt is blood relatives to him!

He also helped Aniang try to persuade his aunt to change her mind.

The aunt spoke mercilessly: "Although you are my sister's child, if you have no ambition, you are wasting my time."

He said: [Everyone has ambition.]

My aunt said something shocking: "Yes, everyone has ambitions, but what about the ambition to steal the country from your brothers? Alang, you don't have it, and you can't have it. My sister has been walking on thin ice these years, and everything she does is to make you

Brothers, may you be safe and prosperous. The foundations of the three of you, mother and son, are too shallow, so just ask for stability.】

Stealing the country...

Ambition?

These few words shocked him.
