Chapter Seventy-Two: Candidates for Concubines

The Queen Mother's Shouchang Palace has a low curtain, and the bronze crane relief is full of lily incense in the big ding, exuding a pleasant fragrance.

The queen mother stared out the window, the long window with azure curtain paper was soft in color, and the sky light came in faintly, as if it was separated by a veil: "Next year is the time to choose a concubine, how many boys will be selected for the concubine?"

Queen Song seemed to be expected, and said with a smile: "I also saw a few girls, but I still have to help the queen mother palm the eyes." As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the Queen Mother's expression, and said tentatively: "Yao'er is anxious and impetuous, and she needs a steady girl to be able to suppress him.

The Queen Mother thought for a while, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "It's Concubine An's niece, that girl looks arrogant and arrogant, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Queen Song's heart sank, and she smiled gently: "What the queen mother said is that after all, she is the only concubine, and Mrs. An must be pampered.

A smile appeared at the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, "The mourning family feels that the eldest lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is good, she advances and retreats in a measured manner, and her atmosphere is calm." Queen Song didn't say anything bad, she smiled softly, "The last time Princess Ding'an entered the palace, she also said that this Miss Miao is very sensible and polite, but it's a pity that she is the eldest daughter of a widow..."

The Queen Mother frowned, and heard the meaning of the Song family's words, the eldest prince is noble, and the world is prejudiced, saying that the widowed eldest daughter lacks education and is not married, the queen is unwilling.

Queen Song lowered her eyebrows and said: "Yes, the concubines have also discussed with the emperor, and they will also talk to their mothers, and they also want to ask them what they mean, do you have a favorite?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "What did the emperor say?" An imperceptible haze flashed between Queen Song's eyebrows, "The emperor feels that the county lord of King Cheng's Mansion is the same age as Run'er, and he can make up for Run'er's indecision, which is very good."

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said for a long time: "It's not bad."

Queen Song held her breath in her heart, and when she returned to the dormitory, she saw that the eldest prince was already waiting in the side hall, so she snorted angrily, flicked her sleeves and entered the dormitory.

The eldest prince is mean and unkind by nature, arrogant and suspicious and cruel in private, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is only afraid of his biological mother Queen Song, who is calm and calm at all times.

Queen Song sat in front of the agarwood inlaid treasure phoenix wings carved dressing table, let the palace maid wait to take off the hairpin and shake, she stared at the beautiful face in the mirror that was no longer getting old, caressed the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and said lightly: "Your imperial grandmother does not agree with you marrying Miss An as a concubine, but wants to let Miao Yizhen of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion be the throne of the eldest princess."

The eldest prince's handsome yin owl's face was a little disapproving, An Susu he didn't like it very much, thinking of Miao Yizhen, who was overwhelming the crowd at the spring banquet, he was a little interesting, but after all, the position of the concubine was too wide, and he still knew this: "The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is just an ordinary noble, and he can't help his sons too much, so it's almost the same to give a side concubine.

The corners of Empress Song's mouth twitched, and she said with some dissatisfaction: "An Huaisu is strong, his protégés are all over the field, and the Duchayuan is his person, you marry An Susu as the main concubine, and the daughter of the Nadu Chayuan Duyushi is the side concubine, and when the time comes, the prince can control the wind direction and the public opinion of the courtiers, so that the odds of victory can be doubled.

The eldest prince shook his head a little regretfully, but he didn't care much, "But the emperor's grandmother won't agree.

It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned the emperor, Queen Song gritted her teeth and was very dissatisfied: "But he wants Jun Run to marry the county lord of Cheng Wangfu!"

The eldest prince was startled, and his eyes became fierce: "The father is too partial! Cheng Wangfu has a huge power, if the second child is allowed to marry the county lord of his family, wouldn't King Cheng support the second child?"

Empress Song recalled the emperor's snub to herself over the years, and was quite sour: "Concubine De, that slut, your father has been very fond of her over the years, and even looks at Jun Run differently.

The eldest prince interrupted her, "Absolutely not! If King Cheng really stands on the side of the second child, the queen mother, we will lose!

Queen Song was dumbfounded, seeing her son's eyes faintly vicious, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Don't be impatient, this is just your father's intention, King Cheng may not be willing."

The eldest prince was suspicious, "How could King Cheng be unwilling to climb the crown prince who could succeed to the throne?" Empress Song still had a hint of jealousy on her face, "King Cheng, this old fox, is your father's henchman, no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, he can't do anything with him.

The deep and wide dormitory tulle is overlapping and overlapping, quiet and cold, this pair of the world's supreme and noble mother and son are relatively speechless, the day is close to twilight, the sky will be dark, the sunset is orange and blue, and it is transmitted into the hall with a gorgeous coldness, and it can not feel the temperature at all.

Empress Song sighed leisurely, "If your father and emperor insist on giving the county lord of King Cheng's mansion to Jun Run, then we will marry your sister to Cheng Lingye, and when Cheng Lingye inherits the throne, will he help his brother-in-law or brother-in-law?

The eldest prince's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "What the queen mother said is that no matter how bad it is, the Cheng Wangfu will not help each other, then the second wife's family will have no help, but I can marry a noble girl who will help the great cause to expand my power.

Queen Song's heart was cramping, seeing that the eldest prince only cared about joy and didn't think about her sister's happiness at all, she was even more cold in her heart.

The eldest prince caught a glimpse of Empress Song's expression, and was a little surprised, and said with a sigh: "King Cheng's demeanor is peerless, who doesn't admire the noble daughter of the Jingshi? Although it doesn't hurt to be romantic, if my sister can marry him, she will not be wronged."

Empress Song sighed secretly, "That's it, if it can be done, you can take more care of their husband and wife in the future. Thinking of her well-behaved and filial daughter, Rao is her heart is as cold as iron, and she does not hesitate to use her daughter's life to pave the way for her son, and she can't help but cry, and she is sorry.

The eldest prince's eyes flickered, and he said tentatively: "Actually, marrying Qinghai far away, in addition to being far away, it is not much bitterness.

Empress Song's original plain and gentle expression froze, her long eyebrows raised, and her expression gradually became cold, her posture was majestic and cold, which reminded people that she was the queen who dominated the Dayong harem for decades.
