Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan didn't stay in front of this glass lantern for long, so they went elsewhere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They hadn't gone far before they heard a burst of cheers and sighs from behind, wondering which genius had guessed the riddle of Emperor Yuanchang.

However, they looked at each other and smiled, but it had nothing to do with them.

After strolling around again, estimating that the time was almost up, the two of them walked back, and when they passed by the shed of the Anguo Mansion next door, Gu Qing did not hear Tang's voice.

"It's really a bit of waste, so many people don't know where the fourth young master has gone, what's the use of raising you?" Tang's voice was sharp, with some anger.

As soon as they heard that it was Ning Zhixu, Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan immediately turned their heads and walked forward without looking back.

Tang was standing at the door at this time, seeing Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan, and deliberately glanced at Gu Qingwei, and when the two of them entered the shed of the Dingguo Mansion next door, they crooked their mouths and went to find Ning Zhixu.

When Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan came back, Ning Jingchang and his wife had just returned from Emperor Yuanchang.

The hour was not early, Emperor Yuanchang was already ready to drive back to the palace, and when Emperor Yuanchang left, they should almost go back.

Gu Qingwei nodded, and spoke to the eldest princess of Anping with a smile, "Mother, I just heard that the riddle on the glazed palace lamp was guessed, can the emperor call that person closer and ask?"

The eldest princess of Anping shook her head, "Originally, I wanted to see her, but Concubine Zheng was cold, and the imperial brother also wanted to return to the palace early, so I only gave a hundred taels of gold and the glazed palace lamp." ”

After saying that, the eldest princess of Anping was still a little dissatisfied in her eyes.

She, the imperial brother, has been restrained in terms of women over the years, and she is indifferent to the other concubines in the palace, but she is very interested in this Zheng Guifei, and I don't know what kind of fate this is.

The eldest princess of Anping had no conflict with Concubine Zheng Guifei before, but she only had a good impression of Concubine Zheng because of the temptation of similar persecution.

Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan glanced at each other.

Thinking of Zheng Guifei's deliberate embarrassment, they all thought the same thing in their hearts, that is, they had to find an opportunity to solve Zheng Guifei's matter as soon as possible.

The family talked together for a while, and after a while, Emperor Yuanchang drove back to the palace, and after sending Emperor Yuanchang and the palace concubines away, Gu Qingwei and others also followed back to the house.

It's freezing on this day, and the lights are over, so there's really nothing to stay on.

And directly Gu Qingwei and the others returned to the house, and the Tang clan next door did not find Ning Zhixu, who suddenly disappeared, and the Tang clan was so angry that he scolded the subordinates who followed.

When she returned to the Dingguo Mansion, it was already late at night, and Gu Qingwei hung the rabbit lantern that Ning Zhiyuan gave her on the wall next to the bed.

After that, the two washed up under the service of the maids, and then they went into the bed that was warm because the maids put the stove and hugged each other and fell asleep.

……

After the Shangyuan Dynasty, the festive atmosphere of the New Year gradually faded.

As soon as the New Year was over, Beizhen Fusi found the clues of a widely involved fraud case in the court, and Emperor Yuanchang was furious and grabbed the fold in his hand in the early court and smashed it in the face of the minister involved, and then immediately ordered Ning Zhiyuan to continue to investigate, and must not let such a moth harm the court.

Because of this, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly became busy, leaving early and returning late every day, and the two could only say a few words before going to bed at night.

And just when the fraud case was investigated little by little, another matter was also brought up by Emperor Yuanchang.

That is, Chu Chengqi's choice of concubines.

The prince's choice of concubine was personally stared at by Emperor Yuanchang, and the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to slack off, and soon sent the portraits of the women of various school-age officials in Beijing into the palace, in addition to Emperor Yuanchang, Concubine Liu Xian's Yongshou Palace also sent an additional copy.

Concubine Liu Xian is such a son, although she is an unsuccessful person, but when it is really time for Chu Chengqi to choose a concubine, where will she not be dissatisfied, and she will take a large number of portraits to see as soon as possible.

But it didn't take long for Concubine Liu Xian to be so angry that she wanted to throw those portraits to the ground and step on them again.

The palace people of Yongshou Palace saw that Concubine Liu Xian had changed from the previous excitement to the current anger and hatred, and they were so frightened that they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to make a sound, so as not to suffer from this pond of fish.

For a long time, Concubine Liu Xian waved away the palace people with a cold face, and then looked at these portraits carefully, and her beautiful face showed anger, "These things that don't pick up!"

The reason why she was so angry was because the portraits sent by the Ministry of Rites were missing many of the people she had favored before.

Emperor Yuanchang decided to let Chu Chengqi start a family, and Emperor Yuanchang gave Concubine Liu Xian through some words a few years ago, so Concubine Liu Xian has been thinking about what good candidates are compatible with Chu Chengqi since then, and even made a list of the nobles she is optimistic about.

But now, she didn't even see any portraits of the noble girls she fancied!

How can Concubine Liu Xian not be angry?

She knew that the people of the Ministry of Rites would not dare to do anything, as long as they were marriageable and unmarried noblewomen, the Ministry of Rites would definitely send their portraits to the palace, but now that there is none, it can only show one problem, that is, those noble girls that Concubine Liu Xian fancied have already been married.

If one or two can be said to be a coincidence, but five, six, seven or eight of them all got married before the year, then it is not just a coincidence.

This is clearly deliberate by these parents!

Presumably, it was the news that Emperor Yuanchang wanted to choose a concubine for Chu Chengqi, and the courtiers did not dare to disobey the order, and they didn't want their daughter to marry Chu Chengqi as a concubine, so they naturally had to marry their daughter before Chu Chengqi chose a concubine.

It is precisely because she has thought about this point thoroughly that Concubine Liu Xian is so angry.

Of course she knows what kind of virtue her son is, but no matter how she says that marrying Chu Chengqi is also a princess, these people dare to avoid Chu Chengqi like a snake and scorpion, so where can she, Chu Chengqi's biological mother, put her face?

Concubine Liu Xian was annoyed in her heart.

Although these candidates sent by the Ministry of Rites are also women from official families, they are far from the people she is optimistic about.

Could it be that her son would have to settle down and marry one of them?

Concubine Liu Xian has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and she has never known to accept her fate, otherwise she would not have climbed step by step from a weak beauty to one of the four concubines today.

Regarding the selection of a concubine for Chu Chengqi, in the final analysis, it is Yuan Changxue who can make the final decision, even if she is Chu Chengqi's biological mother, at most she will give advice to Emperor Yuan Chang.
