Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Marquis Jinshou seemed to have forgotten about the exile of his illegitimate son Zuo Yangan, and was very supportive of the relationship between his legitimate son and his adopted son. Zuo Yangyi had now untied his knot and was getting along well with his wife, so the news of Qin Shuiyao's engagement naturally reached Yang Yan's ears.

He flipped through the original owner's memory and found that the event was about half a year earlier than what was written in the storybook. As for the male and female protagonists, their relationship certainly couldn't be smooth sailing, otherwise where would it be interesting?

According to the book, the female protagonist was almost betrothed to the Prince of Cheng according to the ending of the previous life. The second son of the Southern Prince was jealous several times. Under great stimulation, he completed a task and asked the emperor for the marriage decree, and the two of them entered the wedding hall smoothly.

This task should have been completed with the help of the original owner in the first life. It was also because of the good job of this task that the second son of the Southern Prince caught the emperor's eye, and he chose to adopt him as the heir to the emperor on his deathbed.

I don't know what happened. The two of them got engaged in advance. Will the male protagonist still work hard to do the job as described in the book?

Unfortunately, no matter whether he can do the job well or not, the health of the prince in this life is getting better. In a few years, he should be no different from ordinary people. The male protagonist will never be able to be the emperor in this life.

Yang Yan touched his chin and thought, when the male and female protagonists get married, he must give them a big gift. Qin Shuiyao designed to destroy the original owner for her own selfishness. She should let her taste the taste of shooting herself in the foot.

However, although the noble families of the dynasty get engaged early, they usually get married when the women are 18 years old without special reasons. Now the wedding date is still far away, so there is no rush to consider these.

Yang Yan only thought about it for a while and put it aside, and continued to compile books.

He taught a few people in this life. He thinks it is quite interesting to be a teacher. Originally, it was just to have a suitable reason to turn Zuo Yangyi around. Now he really intends to make this a lifelong career.

Because of the large number of readers accumulated by the storybooks, the enlightenment textbooks he compiled before were not neglected when they were launched. After some people bought them and tried them, they found that the effect was very good, and then they sold out.

According to the feedback from the bookstore owner, many people expected him to write some more in-depth books. Now that he has free time, he started to work.

Time flies, and more than four years have passed in the blink of an eye. The spring examination held every three years ended. When the rankings were announced, one thing caused heated discussions among people in Beijing.

Taifu Su's younger brother ranked first, and although the three elder brothers ranked relatively low, they were also on the list of Jinshi.

Four Jinshi in one family, and the four brothers were in the same subject, what a great honor!

Especially when I heard that except for Su Xingsi, the other three elder brothers started studying at the age of about 20, and only studied for a total of six years, they could beat many people who had studied for more than ten or even decades. It was simply an unprecedented miracle.

Some people think that the Su family is naturally smart, some people think that Master Su is good at teaching, and some people even secretly speculate whether it is cheating or leaking questions.

The latter was criticized as soon as he said this. Who is Master Su? Even the prince was taught by him. A few months ago, the prince played a game in front of the hall and answered fluently with a group of old ministers, showing the style of a crown prince.

The prince was taught so well, so what's surprising about teaching a few more Jinshi?

Those who are quick-witted began to think about what kind of relationship they have to entrust to the master. If they can learn from him for a period of time, maybe they can be on the list of the next spring exam.

In the Nanwang Mansion, Qin Shuiyao heard that his younger brother came to visit, so he ordered people to prepare his favorite food. After a while, a servant brought in a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

She immediately greeted him with a smile: "You naughty boy, you go out and play horse racing with your classmates all day long. You never come when I invite you before. Why do you want to come and see me today?"

It was her lifelong regret that she had not been able to get pregnant since her miscarriage in her previous life. After her younger brother was born in her rebirth, she had some feelings for him and had always been very close to him.

For some reason, the couple had asked the doctor to check their health and there was nothing wrong with them. However, they had been married for almost three years but still had no children, so they treated their only younger brother better.

"How can it be like what you said, sister? I just missed the chance to see you because I couldn't refuse the occasional social interaction, okay?" Qin Ze explained casually, and then stated the purpose of this trip, "Sister, can you ask my eldest sister to help me talk to Master Su to accept me as a disciple?"

The smile on Qin Shuiyao's face suddenly disappeared, and she asked coldly, "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

Qin Ze then briefly talked about what happened in the Spring Examination, and finally said, "Father always thinks that I am not good at literature or martial arts, but he doesn't think about the level of those teachers he invited for me. If I have a teacher like Master Su, it's not long before I can be the top scholar."

"Sister, you have always had a good relationship with my eldest sister, and Master Su is as close to my eldest brother-in-law as a brother. If you can help me plead, I will definitely get what I want. I rarely ask you for help, can you help me this time?"

Qin Shuiyao didn't show anything on her face, but she was very unhappy in her heart. She used to have a good relationship with Qin Yunxin, but that was in the past.

When she learned Qin Yunxin was pregnant a year ago, she acted a little hastily and showed signs of trying to sow discord between her and her husband. After that, she became indifferent to her and did not ask her to accompany her during the entire pregnancy. After she gave birth, they only met once on the full moon day and they did not even talk.

As for her brother-in-law Zuo Yangyi, he was always rude to her. She had never even met her brother-in-law Su Yangyan in her previous life. How could she ask for favors in front of them?

However, they would not be able to enjoy the glory for long. I remember that the prince died of illness not long after this spring examination. Then a month later, the emperor also passed away. Her husband would soon be adopted by His Majesty and become the new emperor.

Thinking of this, Qin Shuiyao felt relieved. She said a few perfunctory words to her brother and sent him away. Qin Ze thought that he had persuaded his sister and was happy when he left.

When the second son of the Southern King returned home at night, he found his wife very excited. If he observed carefully, he would find that she looked a little nervous. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened to you today? What good thing happened?"

Qin Shuiyao was startled, but she quickly found an excuse and told her that her brother came to her to ask for mercy. She chuckled and said, "Zer is so motivated. I couldn't help but be happy for a while, and let my husband laugh at me."

The second son of the Southern King saw that she was so happy for such a small thing, and his heart softened. He hugged her and said, "Since he is your brother, I will take care of him in the future. It doesn't matter whether he can read or not."

This was a bit too arrogant for him, an ordinary second son of a prince, but Qin Shuiyao knew that he would soon be able to sit on the throne, but she didn't notice anything strange, and she was still secretly happy in her heart.

After the two of them were intimate for a while, they rested. She soon fell asleep, but the second son of the Southern King couldn't sleep.

There was something he had never mentioned to anyone. Since he got married more than two years ago, he had started to have dreams one after another. Most people's dreams would become vague after waking up, but he remembered the things he dreamed the night before clearly the next day.

He was scared at first because he dreamed that he sat on the throne of the emperor. If he had this thought, it would be a capital crime if it was known to others.

Moreover, although everyone knew that the current emperor had only one son and the prince was weak, even if misfortune really happened, there were several princes in the court. Their Nanwang Mansion was not the most favored, and he had a legitimate brother above him, so he would never get that position.

But those dreams were too real. He dreamed that he reviewed memorials, discussed matters with ministers, and enjoyed himself with concubines. It was just strange that the queen in the dream was not his current wife.

Shui Yao had saved his life, and she even disregarded her reputation to marry him. He swore that he would never let her down in this life. How could he dream of such a ridiculous thing?

During that time, his heart was full of guilt. After waking up from the dream, he treated her twice as well. Even though she had not been able to get pregnant after marrying him, and his mother hinted that she wanted to take a concubine for him, he stopped her.

He tried to empty himself, and even prayed to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that he would not have these unrealistic dreams that made him feel guilty towards his wife, but unfortunately it had no effect, and he slowly got used to it.

It was not until some time ago that he discovered that his dreams seemed to be backwards. Before, they were all his daily life after becoming an emperor, but that dream was about how he became an emperor.

It turned out that the prince died of illness, and the emperor could not bear the blow and fell ill. Knowing that he was dying, he chose him from the royal family as his adoptive son. He suddenly realized that since he was adopting, he could not choose his father's eldest son. He was the most suitable candidate as the second son.

With the reason, he could no longer treat the dream purely as a dream, and was more eager to prove whether this thing would really happen.

The following few dreams matched some things that happened in reality, and he believed that he was the one chosen by heaven, because he would ascend the throne as emperor, so he would have these dreams predicting the future.

The second son of the Southern King finally suppressed the joy in his heart. He knew that this matter must not be known to others, and he didn't even dare to tell his parents and wife. However, he was deeply affected by the dream, and sometimes he couldn't help showing some traces, which led to the promise to take care of Qin Ze in the future.

Looking at his wife who was sleeping defenselessly, he felt a little troubled. He had given her true feelings, but the dream about the future was true. His future queen was not her. Does that mean she would have an accident?

No, maybe God let him dream about the future so that he would not have regrets? When he dreamed, why did he change his wife? He must save her!
