The scheming empress starts by conquering men

This little cousin looks pretty good, but he looks too young.

When Shaodian Sishui was looking at Jian Shaoxing, Jian Shaoxing was also secretly looking at this legendary sixth princess and imperial cousin.

She is indeed extremely beautiful, with eyes as charming as silk and as bright as sparks that can set a prairie on fire. Just one glance at her can make you fall in love with her.

Her face was flawless white as jade, and her hands, which had been holding the sword for many years, were as smooth as cream, and seemed to have no traces of roughness.

With bright eyes and white teeth, she is really beautiful without any makeup.

Furthermore, her every move revealed her elegance and grace, as well as an unattainable majesty.

It can be seen that his character is not as bad as the rumors say.

"Dan'er, that's your third maternal uncle and third maternal uncle..."

Jian Junxia continued to introduce the third and fourth brothers to Shaodian Sishui.

A gleam of brilliance flashed across Jian Shaoxing's deer-like eyes, and he lowered his head and said no more.

Shaodian Sishui turned around and saluted one by one. With Jian Junxia's introduction, she became more familiar with the family's population situation.

After all, she had sent people to investigate the details before she came.

Although it was slightly different from what she saw today, it was the same.

Everyone's personality is almost the same as what we found out.

Her father had four older sisters and no illegitimate daughters or sons.

The ancestral precept of the Jian family is that one husband has one servant, and the servant does not serve himself, but serves visiting guests.

Strictly speaking, it is monogamy.

He didn't even remarry, otherwise it would be impossible for my second maternal uncle not to remarry so many years after his death.

The eldest brother, Jian Zongqing, hates evil, is swift and resolute, has a simple mind, does not have a strong class consciousness, and is good at martial arts.

He looks dignified, generous and imposing.

The second son, Jian Zongjing, was self-disciplined and respectful of propriety. He had broad vision, was meticulous, had a strong sense of class, and was good at writing.

He looks a little frail, and his smile is harmless, with two big dimples on his cheeks.

The third brother, Jian Zongwu, is a flatterer, currying favor with the powerful, good at reading people's expressions, has no class concept, and is good at business.

He has a chubby face and looks like Maitreya Buddha when he smiles. He has a big belly and looks like those successful middle-aged men in modern times.

The fourth son, Jian Zongwei, does not like fame or wealth. He has high moral character and will not curry favor with the powerful. He likes to study herbs and medicine and is good at medicine.

He has an immortal-like appearance, is a bit thin, looks very dignified, and never smiles.

When talking to Jian Wuwei, she was always observing herself and muttering to herself, saying that she looked very good and didn't look like someone who had taken poison.

Thinking of the names of these four people, Qingjingwuwei are really good names.

As for his uncles and fathers, Shaodian Sishui also took note of them. They all came from different families.

They were not from a famous and prominent family, but they were definitely not the kind that married into a wealthy family. It could only be said that before her father married into the royal palace, the Jian family was at most a good match for their family.

It was not until her father married into the royal palace that the Jian family became famous.

At dinner, everyone was very well-behaved. No one talked at the table. They just lowered their heads and ate.

After dinner, Shaodian Sishui was called to the study by Jian Junxia.

In the study, her four maternal uncles had all arrived.

As for my cousins, they were waiting outside the study, ready to be summoned by my grandfather at any time.

Inside the house, Jian Junxia sat in the main seat, and Old Lady Hui sat next to her.

Shaodian Sishui sat below the main seat and looked at Jian Junxia in confusion.

"Grandma, you called me here, is there something wrong?"

Jian Junxia sighed, "Well, after meeting you today, I know the rumors are wrong. Grandmother can also see that you are hiding your abilities."

"Since you are hiding your incompetence, you must want to gain something. I wonder if what Dan'er is thinking is the same as what grandma is thinking?"

After she finished speaking, her cloudy eyes shone with brilliance as she stared straight at Shaodian Sishui.

Shaodian Sishui pursed her lips, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Grandmother, you can see that I have no other choice but to hide my ignorance. However, I don't know if Grandmother is thinking the same thing as I am thinking. Regardless of whether it is the same or not, I just want to ask Grandmother a question."

Jian Junxia stared at her; "You ask."

"Grandmother, do you hope to see the same writing system, the same wheels, and the same customs one day?"

In today's world, each country has its own writing, knowledge, theories, weights and measures, etc., which are extremely different.

What she wanted to do was to unify the world and realize the idea of ​​one language for all, one system for all, and one ethics for all.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room held their breath.

Even her fourth uncle Jian Zongwei, who had never cared about power and was good at pharmacology, was a little shocked. However, she reacted faster than anyone else, quickly came to her senses, stood up and praised greatly.

"What a great saying! One script, one track, one morality. Well said! Such great ambitions are the revival of our great Zhou Dynasty."

Shaodian Sishui turned to look at his fourth uncle. Instead of showing any pride or complacency, he nodded slightly in a very humble manner.

"Thank you, fourth uncle. Dan has never been to the Imperial Academy, nor has he been taught by a master. I am not very knowledgeable and I am showing off. Dan still has a lot to learn. I hope all the uncles will take care of him and support him."

These words instantly silenced the aunts.

They all heard that the Sixth Princess was not favored by His Majesty, but they, the Jian family, were unable to support their younger brother, let alone the Sixth Princess.

It was because not long after my younger brother got married, the Jian family was suppressed by many nobles.

Even His Majesty was wary of their clan and secretly sent people to monitor them.

They can't even protect themselves, so how can they secretly find someone to help the Sixth Prince?

Jian Junxia also thought of this and felt very uncomfortable.

She had been strong all her life, but she was confused about her son's marriage.

If she hadn't intervened back then... her son wouldn't have been forced to live in the cold palace for so many years, her granddaughter wouldn't have been allowed to recognize her, and Jian wouldn't have been secretly monitored by that person.

Thinking of the decline of the Jian family over the years, Jian Junxia felt extremely upset.

Blame her!

She let out a long sigh, and a layer of mist rose in her turbid eyes.

"Good boy, it is your grandfather who has wronged you and made you suffer."

As soon as she shed tears, the sentimental old lady Hui beside her couldn't help but shed tears.

Naturally, she also thought about why her wife was crying, it was because of what happened that year.

If he had been tougher back then, the Jane family might not be in its current situation.

His son would certainly not wait to die in that deep palace.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Hui burst into tears and choked up, "It's all your fault!"

When Jian Junxia heard her husband say this, she understood what he meant.

He patted his back quickly to comfort him.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, stop crying. We are still in front of the younger generation, so please give me some face."

Old Lady Hui didn't want to cry, but for some reason, her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Grandpa, please stop crying. No matter what happens, there is always a solution."

Shaodian Sishui comforted him, squatted down and placed her hands at the knees of Old Lady Hui, gently patting the back of his hand to soothe him.

Old Madam Hui, who had been unable to stop crying, shed even more tears at this moment.

“Ah ha ah…” Old Lady Hui covered her mouth and burst into tears.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. We have something important to discuss. Dan'er will be leaving tomorrow. You keep crying, wasting time and damaging your eyes. You...ah!"

Jian Junxia couldn't help but sigh, turned her back, and a layer of mist appeared in her cloudy eyes.

Seems to feel the same way.
