Chapter 43 Xiaobei is a hot commodity
Xiao Bi's figure had long since disappeared, but Emperor Tianqing was still immersed in the words "good emperor".
Only those who have been emperors know how difficult it is to be a good emperor.
But it doesn't seem to be difficult for him now.
Everything at the border is peaceful, officials in the DPRK and China are performing their duties, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment.
What he has to do is to work diligently and love the people as he has for the past ten years, not to use weapons rashly, not to trust slanderous officials, and not to be arrogant and extravagant.
But he is also an ordinary person, how can he not have emotions and desires?
That’s it!
Emperor Tianqing slapped the table and stood up.
If he speaks out, he will throw water away, not to mention that he is the king of a country.
Because of a mistake at the beginning, he ended up where he is today.
He is destined to lose Ah Heng's affection, so he should be a good emperor who is respected by her and everyone else.
※※※※
After a month of long journey, Xiao Bi and others returned to Tianshui County.
After leaving for more than two years, the county mansion is more lively than before, but the county government mansion seems to have not changed much.
Returning to Quanquan Garden, Xiao Bi saw Qinan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, but there was no sign of Bei's mother.
"Qinan, my grandfather said in his letter that Mother Bei came back a few months ago. Where is she?" Xiao Bi asked.
Qinan smiled and said: "It's a long story. You still have to go to greet the elders, so you should go wash up and change clothes first. If you have anything to say, you can talk slowly after you come back."
Xiao Bi is impatient, how can she wait after hearing this?
She threw her sons to the wet nurse and maid, and took Qinan to sit at the table.
"Good sister, please stop trying to tease me and tell me quickly."
Qinan had no choice but to quickly tell what happened.
"Little Bei is only half a month older than you and is now eighteen years old. It's time to think about marriage.
Bei's mother fell in love with a girl in Dongjun, so she wrote a letter asking him to go back and see her.
But you also know Mr. Bei’s temper. He is willing to listen to his parents and eldest brother on other matters, but he has to make the decision by himself only when it comes to marriage..."
Hearing this, Xiao Bi laughed and said: "Sister Qinan, don't try to fool me.
That guy Xiaobei must have a sweetheart, which girl is she from?"
Qinan chuckled and said, "I am really convinced by you, I have just started and you have already guessed everything.
Mr. Bei is now a hot commodity, and the eldest wife, the princess's wife, and Mrs. Bai's wife are all fighting for him.
Now when the three of them meet, they act like black-eyed chickens, which makes the old lady angry several times.
Mother Bei didn't see Mr. Bei returning to Dongjun for a long time, so she came to Tianshui County in person.
Do you think she is such a powerful person, but the three ladies made her unable to live in the house, so she went to rent a house outside."
"What?" These words contained so much information that Xiao Bi was stunned.
The three ladies in the house are competing for Xiao Bei, that is to say, Xiang Shuya, Huan Qiong, and Bai Rou'er are all attracted to Xiao Bei and want to marry him.
That guy Beckham actually has such charm?
Xiao Bi and Bei Lihong grew up together, so naturally she didn't think he was that bad, but she never thought about it that way.
In her impression, Xiao Bei is just a young boy who has not grown up yet and has barely grown to be as tall as herself.
And although he looks good, he is not the type that girls would like.
In addition, he has a carefree personality and never knows how to show affection to women, so how can he be liked by so many girls?
Xiao Bi thought about the three girls again.
Xiang Shuya has a gentle temperament. Although she once had some interest in Ayu, she is not a girl with high aspirations.
It would not be strange to say that she fell in love with Xiao Bei.
Moreover, Qiao's mother is a simple-minded person. She participated in the fight for her son-in-law because Shuya really liked Xiaobei.
But the other two... Xiao Bi is really confused.
The eldest aunt Yao has always regarded herself as a lady from a famous family, and also regarded herself as the eldest lady of the county government. She has always wanted to marry her daughter to a member of a high-ranking family in the capital, and she is also the eldest son.
Although the Bei family is also a family of officials, Uncle Bei is not of high rank and does not hold a position in the capital, and Bei's mother has been his wet nurse. How could the eldest aunt fall in love with Bei?
As for Bai Rou'er, that's even more impossible.
My aunt's virtue, tsk tsk tsk...
Just as he was thinking about it, Huan Yu had already washed himself, changed his clothes, and walked out of the clean room.
Seeing that his wife was still talking to Qinan, he smiled and reminded her.
"Xiaojiu, why are you still talking to Sister Qinan?"
Xiao Bi swallowed hard and ran over to grab his arm: "Ayu, Xiaobei's luck has arrived!"
Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "This is a good thing. Xiaobei is already eighteen years old, and it's time for him to get a wife."
Xiao Bi then picked up the key points of Qinan Cai's words and told him.
Huan Yu couldn't help but cough a few times.
His thoughts are similar to Xiao Bi's.
Shuya is a down-to-earth girl who always sees the situation clearly, knows what she wants, and even better knows what she can get.
Qiao's mother truly loved her and never expected to exchange her adopted daughter's lifelong happiness for any benefits.
So she helped Shuya fight for Xiaobei, it must be because the two young people were interested in each other.
As for the eldest aunt and aunt, what on earth are they fussing over?
Xiao Bi let go of his arm: "I have to change my clothes quickly. Little Huahua and the others will come to hurry me up later."
She hurried into the clean room with Qinan and quickly packed herself up properly.
The two young couples took their four children and first went to the courtyard of Duke Huan.
Old Duke Huan had been separated from the four treasures for several months, and it was really hard to think about it.
He picked up the little ones and kissed them again and again, and then asked his grandson and granddaughter-in-law what had happened recently.
Hearing that Concubine Hua followed Huahou and his wife to Weushui City, he was very pleased and said: "You have done a good job in this matter. If the concubine is really allowed to become a monk in Beijing, Huahou and Mrs. Hua will not be able to stay in Weoshui City."
Xiao Bi then told about the meeting with Emperor Tianqing that day.
Duke Huan said: "This is the only way we can deal with this matter. I hope your majesty can learn a lesson and become a good emperor."
Speaking of Xiaobei's marriage, the old county man couldn't help but laugh.
"You don't know, Li Hong is different now. Not to mention your three sisters, many of my colleagues intend to marry my granddaughter to him."
Xiao Bi and others felt like their little hands were scratching their hearts, they all wanted to see Xiao Bei as soon as possible.
Old Duke Huan said with a smile: "It's better to go and pay your respects to your grandmother first. We will talk about this later."
After chatting briefly for a while, he took his grandson, granddaughter-in-law and four treasures to the courtyard of the old lady Xu.
Since Huan Chen and his wife left the house, Xu's competitive spirit has also faded away.
