170 Candidates for marriage
170
When Emperor Taihe heard this, his face was originally very heavy, but he also became pleasant.
No matter what Yu Wenyi thinks in his heart, but what he said is more sincere, at least everyone can get by on face.
Emperor Taihe nodded, "The prince's words are still good, no matter who is right or wrong, the prince is willing to take responsibility, which makes me very pleased." ”
Because Yu Wenyi lowered his head, he was actually very reluctant, if it wasn't for Xiao Ziyu, he really wanted to kill Xiao Ziqing in minutes.
However, Yu Wenyi's low-eyed and pretentious appearance can really deceive people.
"Since you are also willing to marry Miss Xiao, then I will make the decision to allow Miss Xiao to be your side concubine, as for this wedding date, it will be set after the year, and I still have to think about the specific date. Taihe Di thought for a moment and said.
Although Yu Wenyi had some doubts in his heart, he did not open his mouth to object, anyway, this wedding date is not in a hurry for a day or two, after all, the New Year is too close, even if it is too late to accept the concubine.
Old lady Xiao actually doesn't care, anyway, Xiao Ziqing is almost like a dead person to the Xiao family. Old lady Xiao has a heart for Xiao Ziqing to throw off the burden, and if she can send her out as soon as possible, she naturally can't ask for it.
But since Emperor Taihe said so, it doesn't matter, even if Xiao Ziqing stays in the Xiao family for a while, that's it.
Nothing has an impact.
"The sons and ministers all listen to their father. Yu Wenyi still said respectfully.
Emperor Taihe was also quite satisfied with Yu Wenyi's performance today, "Okay, you go first, I still have some things to discuss with the teacher." ”
Yu Wenyi naturally didn't say much, but after saluting, he retreated.
"Thank you Your Majesty for being the master of Weichen, so that you can save the face of the Xiao family. Old lady Xiao arched his hand and said.
"Why should the teacher and I be so polite, the teacher did more for me back then, and I remember it in my heart. Emperor Taihe held his heart and said very movingly.
Back then, Old Lady Xiao did not hesitate to compete with Emperor Wenchang for him, but fortunately, Old Lady Xiao made a lot of military exploits when he was young, and he also saved Emperor Wenchang three times and twice.
At the beginning, Emperor Wenchang, Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Rong, the three of them once had a fateful friendship.
So Old Lady Xiao and Emperor Wenchang both married Old Lady Rong's sister.
His Chinese Emperor Chang is the oldest, followed by Old Lady Rong, and Old Lady Xiao is a few years younger, but the three are really friends of life and death.
It's just that later Emperor Wenchang was a little centrifuged with him because of Zhao Guifei, Old Lady Rong and Old Lady Xiao were a little centrifuged with him.
It's probably because people are getting older, and the wisdom of the past is slowly not worn away little by little.
Anyway, when Emperor Wenchang was in his later years, he really couldn't be called a Ming Jun, and he listened to a woman's deployment everywhere, and really did a lot of chilling things.
Zhao Guifei is a person who is used to being coquettish and foolish, and Emperor Wenchang has responded to Zhao Guifei's requests, and almost wanted to abolish Emperor Taihe several times and set up the third prince born to Zhao Guifei as the crown prince.
Both Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Rong worked together to resolve the crisis of the year.
In this regard, Emperor Taihe has always kept in mind how Old Lady Xiao and Xiao Qinghe assisted him wholeheartedly and helped him.
When Old Lady Xiao heard this, she really felt warm in her heart.
In fact, he has never regretted doing his best to assist Emperor Taihe, Emperor Taihe is also regarded as the old lady Xiao grew up, and he knows Emperor Taihe very well about his temperament, Emperor Taihe has all the qualities that an emperor should have, and he is broad-minded.
Of course, this also confirms that the Daewoo Dynasty was indeed prosperous under the governance of Emperor Taihe.
Although a new round of party struggle for succession has begun again, and although the situation is chaotic, it is too common for all dynasties to avoid party struggle and succession.
However, this will not affect the national peace and security of the Daewoo Dynasty, so that's it.
After so many years, Emperor Taihe has not forgotten the original friendship, which really moved Mrs. Xiao very much.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to mention the past, Weichen is really ashamed. Old lady Xiao lowered her head and said.
Emperor Taihe smiled, "I know that the teacher will never use the past kindness to hold me hostage, and the teacher has always paid me wholeheartedly, and I know this." ”
Old lady Xiao valued and loved him, and Emperor Taihe knew in his heart that once, when they encountered danger during their private visit, Old Lady Xiao did not hesitate to let Xiao Qinghe exchange identities with him, in order to protect him.
That situation was really urgent, and at the beginning, Mrs. Xiao made this decision without hesitation at all.
At the beginning, this matter really touched Emperor Taihe deeply, although Emperor Taihe didn't say anything, he had secretly sworn in his heart that he would protect the Xiao family for the rest of his life.
Because he also understands that in order to protect him, Old Lady Xiao can even give up the life of his own son, so if he treats him with all his heart, what else can he not trust Old Lady Xiao.
"Your Majesty's words are too serious, but the minister doesn't know what to say. Old Lady Xiao also felt a little embarrassed.
"Teachers don't have to be too humble, I also have some things I want to ask my teachers. Emperor Taihe looked at Old Lady Xiao and said.
"Your Majesty, please. ”
"Actually, think about the prince, the second, and the fifth, they are not young, even if they don't marry the concubine for a while, it's really time to get married, this matter is really a headache, in fact, I don't want to hide it from the teacher, to be honest, I still want to wait and see for some time for these three children, I haven't been in a hurry to give them marriage, but now it's really unbearable. Emperor Taihe frowned and said.
This matter actually really gave Emperor Taihe a bit of a headache, speaking of which Yuwenyi and Yuwenzhong will be nineteen after the New Year, Yuwenhong is eighteen, although this age cannot be said to be very big, but it cannot be said to be small, it is really time to decide on the candidate for the concubine.
Old lady Xiao also knew that this matter was imminent, among the princes, only the crown prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, and the ninth prince, these four did not marry the main concubine, the others were already married, and the third prince now even has the eldest son.
Therefore, this matter really can't be delayed.
"I don't know what Your Majesty means by this?" asked Old Lady Xiao.
"I want to pick it myself, so I want to ask the teacher what he means?"
Old Lady Xiao nodded, "I don't know if Your Majesty has a candidate?"
"Naturally, Jiang Zhi, take the roster and show it to the teacher. Emperor Taihe said to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi sent the roster to Old Lady Xiao.
Old lady Xiao took the roster, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
In fact, after reading it again, Old Lady Xiao will be clear, after all, Old Lady Xiao has been in the court for many years, and he must know every household very well.
Emperor Taihe selected a total of six girls, all of whom were eldest daughters.
Sure enough, the Xiao family, the Rong family, and the Mo family are not among them, in fact, all three of them have girls of the right age, but it is obvious that Emperor Taihe is unwilling to let the three princes marry the girls of these three families.
Old lady Xiao was a little worried, how should Yu'er and the Nine Princes' family affairs be good?
These six families are, respectively, the eldest daughter of the Yan family in Dingguo Mansion, Yan Yueyao. Pei Ruyu, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. Xie Shuqi, the eldest daughter of the Xie family in Qingguo Mansion. Zhao Sango, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. Zhou Yushuang, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family of the Marquis of Zhongyong. The last one is Yang Baoyi, the eldest granddaughter of Yang Gelao.
Old lady Xiao took a look, in fact, he generally understood the meaning of Emperor Taihe, the six families selected by Emperor Taihe, the best family background, are only the two great mansions and Yang Ge Lao.
The remaining three are slightly inferior.
Emperor Taihe probably wanted to choose a concubine for the three, and then the other three would naturally be the side concubines.
After reading it, Old Lady Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Weichen can see that Your Majesty is really well-intentioned, these six families are very good, and the six girls must be extremely good." ”
Emperor Taihe nodded, "I have already asked people to investigate, these six girls are not bad, and their abilities are not bad, and they can be worthy of the position of princess." ”
Emperor Taihe himself has suffered a loss, and he definitely doesn't want his son to suffer the same loss, so when choosing a daughter-in-law, he was particularly attentive, the crown princess that Zhao Guifei selected for her at that time, that is, Yu Wenyi's biological mother, to be honest, her ability is really not good, and she can't afford the position of the crown princess at all.
Fortunately, there is an advantage, that is, obedience.
Originally, Zhao Guifei was because the crown princess had some relationship with her mother's family, of course, she was a distant relative, and she could choose such a princess, and she could also firmly control the prince through her, but it didn't come to pass, and it didn't go as planned.
The crown princess listened to Emperor Taihe's words very much, and almost obeyed orders, and didn't buy Zhao Guifei's account at all, but Zhao Guifei vomited blood angrily.
But even so, Emperor Taihe is not very good to her, and she can be regarded as having enough dignity for the concubine.
Later, after Emperor Taihe ascended the throne, although he also canonized the crown princess as the queen, he did not carry the queen's maiden home, the queen's maiden home has always been translucent, and the queen does not have the ability to take care of the six palaces at all, and there is not enough WeChat in the harem.
Often provoked by Mu Guifei, Mu Guifei is smart and beautiful, her mother's family also has military merits, and the Mu family is also a very prominent family in the Daewoo Dynasty, and she will definitely not put the queen in her eyes.
Within a few years, the queen passed away, and Emperor Taihe did not have much grief, also because this wife was never what he wanted to choose.
Therefore, in the matter of choosing a concubine for his son, Emperor Taihe really attaches great importance to it, and he knows too well the pain involved.
Wechen felt that His Majesty's choice was very correct, and Wechen agreed very much. Old lady Xiao said sincerely, he really thought so.
Emperor Taihe actually wanted to ask for the opinion of Mrs. Xiao, in fact, don't look at Mrs. Xiao who made a decision so quickly, but in the world, Mrs. Xiao is also well-thought-out, but he has been in the court for many years, and he thinks about things relatively quickly, basically he quickly figured out the stakes in this, others may not be able to see it, but Emperor Taihe understands it.
"Since the teacher thinks it's appropriate, then I'm relieved. "After so many years, Emperor Taihe still trusts Old Lady Xiao as always.
Now that the matter has been said, Old Lady Xiao can't talk about Yu'er and the Nine Princes, so he left.
Emperor Taihe didn't keep Old Lady Xiao, after all, the two of them are already so familiar, so there is no need to fix these vains.
Not long after Mrs. Xiao left, Jiang Zhi saw a little inner eunuch walk in, because Emperor Taihe was looking at the excerpts, so the little inner eunuch leaned into Jiang Zhi's ear and said softly, "Father-in-law Jiang, Concubine Xian is here." ”
When Jiang Zhi heard this, he waved his hand, "You go down first." ”
The little inner prisoner hurriedly retreated.
If it were someone else, Jiang Zhi might not care, but Concubine Xian's status is not what it used to be, so he naturally has to attach great importance to it, Jiang Zhi hurriedly walked to Emperor Taihe's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang is asking to see you outside." ”
Emperor Taihe was originally looking at the excerpt, but when he heard this, he put down the excerpt and said, "Concubine Xian is here, it's such a cold day, hurry up and let Concubine Xian come in and talk." ”
Jiang Zhi hurriedly went to invite it personally.
Concubine Xian was waiting outside the hall, and Jiang Zhi hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Let Niangniang wait for a long time, it's an old slave." ”
Concubine Xian smiled, although the smile was cold, but it was overwhelming, "The father-in-law is serious, is it from the palace, it stands to reason that the palace should not come, but there are some things I want to say to Your Majesty, so I came over." ”
Jiang Zhi hurriedly bent down and carried Concubine Xian in, "Your Majesty invites Niangniang to go in, and the old slave will guide Niangniang." ”
Jiang Zhi directly took Concubine Xian into the side hall.
Concubine Xian asked her personal maid to wait outside, and went in alone.
"The concubine greets Your Majesty. Concubine Xian knelt down.
Emperor Taihe walked down and personally helped Concubine Xian up, "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be polite, hurry up." ”
Concubine Xian affectionately pulled Emperor Taihe, "It's the concubine who overstepped and came here to find Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Taihe patted Concubine Xian's hand, "What Concubine Ai said, as long as Concubine Ai wants to see me, she can come to me anytime and anywhere, and you don't have to be formal." ”
Concubine Xian smiled shyly, "The concubine is just a little worried about Your Majesty, so I came over to take a look, Your Majesty won't think that the concubine is too hypocritical." ”
"Where? Of course I don't think so, Concubine Ai thinks about me, and it's too late for me to be happy. Emperor Taihe smiled heartily.
After so many years, Emperor Taihe still likes Concubine Xian as always, this woman, as if she is always full of freshness, makes him so desired, this is a feeling he has never had as an emperor, this feeling really makes him difficult to control.
Emperor Taihe pulled Concubine Xian directly to the main seat, and asked Concubine Xian to sit beside him, "My eyes are sour when I look at the excerpt, Concubine Ai, you come to read it to me, and I will rest and rest." ”
Concubine Xian hesitated a little, "Your Majesty, this is not very in line with the rules, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is not good for concubines to do this." ”
Emperor Taihe waved his hand casually, "What does this have to do with politics, it's the concubine who shares my worries." ”
When Concubine Xian heard this, she didn't shirk anymore, but just opened the recital and read it slowly in a very gentle tone.
Concubine Xian's voice was originally gentle and good, which was really a pleasure to Emperor Taihe, but in fact, there was nothing big about it, it was all indifferent little things.
In this way, Concubine Xian actually accompanied Emperor Taihe all morning.
Emperor Taihe really thinks it's a pleasure to look at the excerpt like this, usually looking at the excerpt for a morning, the back hurts, and the eyes are sour, but now it's completely gone.
And Concubine Xian read it quite quickly, and in the morning, she actually read all the excerpts.
Jiang Zhi looked at the hour and said softly, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it's time for lunch, do you want to pass the meal now?"
When Concubine Xian heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't say it, the concubine is really hungry, let's pass the meal." ”
Emperor Taihe smiled, "Listen to the concubine, pass the meal, by the way, Jiang Zhi, have you ordered the imperial dining room? ”
What kind of person Jiang Zhi is, he has always been obedient, and he has already ordered it in place, and now he naturally smiled and said, "The old slaves have all been arranged, Your Majesty, please rest assured." ”
Emperor Taihe nodded with satisfaction, "You are still careful, but you are more thoughtful than me." ”
Jiang Zhi didn't dare to take credit, "Where the old slave dares to compare with His Majesty, it is all His Majesty's teaching." ”
Concubine Xian pursed her lips and said, "Gonggong Jiang's mouth, this palace is really admired." ”
