Ch 263: The Less They Know, The Safer They Are
Let alone what the reaction of the two women would be upon hearing that Emperor Qianwu’s time is short, but at this moment, just hearing that Crown Prince Li Qiancheng is getting married, they were instantly so surprised that their mouths were agape.
Especially when they heard that their husband was the wedding organizer, their expressions became even more exaggerated, even Sun Jian’s massaging hand stopped at that moment.
Sun Jian verbatim relayed the gist of the Imperial Edict to the two women, still using the excuse of turning the locust plague into a blessing.
Unexpectedly, the two women found this approach quite reasonable.
Wow!
Quite reasonable?
Sun Jian was shocked at that moment, and hurriedly asked Zhou Wan’er and Chu Qingcheng: “No… how did you find such a reason reasonable?”
“Could it be that you can’t see anything from this reason?”
Zhou Wan’er and Chu Qingcheng frowned upon hearing Sun Jian’s words.
See what?
Could it be that Husband means the Old Emperor has other intentions?
But no matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t find any problem with his reasoning.
Instead, they felt it was justified and very normal!
Not only that, Zhou Wan’er directly spoke.
Since ancient times, whenever such natural disasters have been controlled, or disasters have been completely eradicated, the reigning monarch would do so.
Either quickly marrying off daughters, or quickly arranging marriages for a batch of princes.
This operation is very normal, and in their era, it is called “leaving blessings.”
Throughout the dynasties, this has always been the case, a precedent since ancient times.
Sun Jian was stunned at that moment.
A precedent since ancient times?
Wow!
Old Man I have lived two lifetimes and haven’t heard of such a precedent!
Perhaps this is really an unwritten rule, each era has its own cultural legacy.
Although they all lead to the same goal, ultimately similar, there are still some differences.
Sun Jian thought of this, then nodded.
Chu Qingcheng didn’t think much of it, after all, she had only heard about such things and didn’t have much experience to refer to, but Zhou Wan’er was different, this girl was a princess of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, if even she thought it was normal, then it seemed that the Old Emperor’s move was not abrupt.
Rather, it is acceptable to everyone in this era.
Sun Jian couldn’t accept it, feeling there was trickery, that was only his own thought, but everyone else didn’t think so.
“Okay, if that’s the case, then the Hundred Officials and everyone else in the court can also accept this explanation.”
“That means the reason for this matter is really quite sufficient!”
“Husband, is there something wrong here?”
Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan’er asked Sun Jian with a puzzled look.
“Yes, Husband, you keep dwelling on this point, could it be that the Great Qian Emperor wants to convey some subtle information through this method?”
Sun Jian waved his hand, signaling them not to think too much, and did not tell the two women his inner thoughts, but simply said that he was overthinking and there was nothing wrong, and then covered up the topic.
Chu Qingcheng and Zhou Wan’er didn’t dwell on this issue, instead discussing Sun Jian’s role as the wedding organizer.
In their opinion, being able to be the wedding organizer for the future Crown Prince meant that Sun Jian’s future prospects were limitless, even showing signs of surpassing the current Regent Lin Xuanfu.
You must know that the Crown Prince’s wedding throughout the dynasties was basically handled by the Chancellor or Grand Secretary of Surveillance.
When the Crown Prince inherits the throne, the organizer will inevitably hold great power.
In the least capable dynasties, the Crown Prince’s wedding was also handled by the ministers entrusted with the affairs of state.
A wedding organizer of Sun Jian’s age for a Crown Prince’s wedding, throughout history, is unique.
This requires great trust and reliance from the Imperial Family to have such an honor.
Hearing the two women chattering incessantly, and even Zhou Wan’er didn’t show any displeasure, Sun Jian first became impatient and then curious.
Impatience was because he felt there was nothing worth praising, but rather a difficult task, and he didn’t want to do it.
Curiosity was entirely because of Zhou Wan’er.
In Sun Jian’s opinion, in the past, Zhou Wan’er would definitely be unhappy, she would worry about their Great Zhou, afraid that Sun Jian would strengthen the Great Qian in the future.
With Sun Jian, a celestial being, assisting the Great Qian, it wouldn’t be long before not only the Great Zhou couldn’t withstand it, but also the Great Song and the Great Xia would not be able to withstand it.
To be overthrown, to be destroyed, it would all be a matter of time!
Therefore, every time Sun Jian did something for the Great Qian, Zhou Wan’er was the unhappiest of the three women.
But today, I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl, she didn’t seem to show much displeasure about this matter, and even praised Sun Jian together with Chu Qingcheng for how amazing he was, at this age, he’s already the organizer of the Crown Prince’s wedding, what an honor!
“Wan’er, your mouth seems a little wrong…”
Sun Jian looked at Zhou Wan’er with interest, her delicate facial features made Sun Jian’s heart beat faster every time he saw them.
Fortunately, they are an old couple, the heart-fluttering feeling of their first meeting has largely turned into affection.
“What’s wrong…”
Zhou Wan’er blinked her sapphire-like eyes, looking very cute.
“Before, when you heard that I was being heavily used by the Great Qian court, you would always be unhappy and worried about your Great Zhou, why has this emotion rarely appeared lately?”
Zhou Wan’er first exchanged glances with Chu Qingcheng, then smiled charmingly.
“Because I believe my husband is the most amazing person in the world, and he will definitely do what he promises!”
“Furthermore, my Father Emperor is also your relative, no matter what, you, as my husband, will not harm them, and my older sister Qingcheng and older sister Zijian and I know that you are different from everyone else, you are not only a star from the heavens, but you are also extremely sentimental!”
“Everything you do has its reasons!”
“Uh…”
Sun Jian was really speechless by Zhou Wan’er’s words.
He touched his nose in embarrassment for a moment.
Sun Jian then remembered that he had promised Zhou Wan’er that he would find a way to reunite her with her family within half a year.
But it’s been four months, and there’s still no clue.
Sun Jian himself almost forgot, but this girl still remembered!
If she hadn’t mentioned it today, Sun Jian would have almost forgotten about it completely.
It was on the eve of coming to Kyoto, when Zhou Wan’er was hesitant about whether or not to follow him, Chu Qingcheng, and Gu Zijian to Chang’an City, that he promised her, right?
There are still two months left, let’s talk about it then.
As for the matter of being sentimental, she wasn’t wrong, if things were under his control in the future, then he would definitely not harm his father-in-law, that’s a must.
