Chapter 12 The Prince's Choice of Concubines

"The Divine Decree has arrived--Prince Ji Huan has received the decree-"

"The son of the minister took the order. ”

"On August 16 in the mid-autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Yongxi, Emperor Wu of Great Qi said: The crown prince Xiaoxian had to postpone the selection of concubines due to his lack of illness and illness. Now the prince is healthy as before, for the sake of the temple society, the crown princess has been hanging for a long time, which is really impossible. However, it is not the prince's wish to love the people. Therefore, I specially ordered officials above the third rank of the imperial court, all those who are over thirteen years old, and those who are under twenty years old to enter the prince's mansion as candidates. The Prince's Mansion welcomed candidates three days after receiving the order. For a period of half a month, the prince intends to elect two candidates for the crown princess, and the final decision will be made after the national teacher sues the sacred tree. Chin this—"

"The son-in-law Ji Huan received the decree and thanked him, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Three days is not a long time, but it is enough for you to prepare. Shengshang specially selected five people for you this time, namely the eldest daughter of the prime minister, Luo, the fifth daughter of Jiang Taifu, the second daughter of the military department Shangshu Cao, the third daughter of General Fei, and the younger sister of the Hubu Hua Shilang. His Royal Highness only needs to bother with the daily care of these five people, and he doesn't have to work too hard. After the official who passed the decree read out the decree and handed it to the prince, he picked up the prince with a smile on his face, took the prince's hand, and said affectionately.

"Father-in-law has worked hard, please go and take a break from tea. The prince smiled gratefully and hurriedly greeted.

"No, no, the slave still has to go back to the palace to report to the saint, Your Highness, you should hurry up and prepare. The old slave won't bother you. ”

"That being the case, the palace is not easy to stop, so the housekeeper will send the guests. ”

The internal officials knew that the prince left him to drink tea, so he really just drank tea. He didn't miss this sip of tea, and besides, he really wanted to rush back to recover his life, so he politely excused himself again and again. Seeing this, the prince didn't stop much, so he called the housekeeper to see off the guests, and the internal official took his leave and left. Once again, only the prince, Xiao Gong and Qiao Zhihan were left in the front hall.

"Your Highness, are you really going to choose a concubine?" As soon as the internal official left, Qiao Zhihan couldn't help but ask. Regardless of the small gong in this house, his eyes were full of disbelief and disappointment.

Xiao Gong looked at it at a glance, what was the meaning in Qiao Zhihan's eyes when she looked at the prince, if she couldn't see it, she would have watched the TV series for so many years in vain. Unbelief, unwillingness, expectation, disappointment, admiration, shyness...... It's even more exciting than the actor's performance, watching Xiao Gong can't stop being excited, and I want to quickly learn a few emotions that can be used on Murong Shuo's body in the future.

However, before Xiao Gong could continue his research, the prince spoke. However, he didn't answer Qiao Zhihan's question immediately, but looked at Xiao Gong and ordered, "You go back first." Now that you have sworn to the Sacred Tree, you will have to rely on yourself from now on. If you and Mr. Murong are really fated, the palace will definitely give you a generous gift on the day you get married. ”

"Yes, Xiao Gong thanked His Royal Highness the Prince, and the slave and maid retired. After Xiao Gong finished speaking, he blessed the prince, walked out of the front hall, and reluctantly left the main hall. When I go back to the next room, there must be more difficult things waiting for me, and I really don't want to go back!

After Xiao Gong walked away, the prince looked at Qiao Zhihan and saw that she was more disappointed because she was waiting. Although he only has brother and sister affection for her, he still can't bear to hurt her. It's just that she didn't say it clearly, and he could only pretend not to know. Take the decree and walk back to your place and sit down.

Qiao Zhihan also knew that she was asking like this in front of Xiaogong, which was really unreasonable. So she didn't say anything more, and when she saw the prince sit down, she also followed to find a place to sit down, looked around, and didn't feel that there were other people there, so she apologized again: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I was impatient." ”

"You know, don't do that next time. I know you're interested in her, but Murong doesn't like her, so don't get too close to her. The prince couldn't bear to be too harsh on her, and when he saw that she took the initiative to admit her mistakes, he was naturally comforted.

"Why doesn't Senior Brother like her?" Qiao Zhihan asked puzzledly, "By the way, I heard that Senior Brother was also here before I came, but what about others? ”

"He's just gone. The prince replied with slightly heavy eyelids.

Although his martial arts are not as good as Murong Shuo, they are higher than Qiao Zhihan, so he can naturally feel his presence. Moreover, the prince clearly felt that Murong Shuo left when he heard Qiao Zhihan say that he recognized Xiaogong as his sister-in-law. Murong Shuo's heart for Qiao Zhihan, Qiao Zhihan also knew, and he showed it obviously. But helplessly, the person in her heart is the prince. It is precisely because the prince knows this that he will not be emotionally attached to her.

"Oh......" Hearing the prince's slightly low answer, Qiao Zhihan also knew that she seemed to have broken Senior Brother Murong's heart again, and she was also one step away from Senior Brother Prince. However, if she could change her mind so easily, why didn't she want everyone to be happy. It's just that she doesn't want to go against her heart, and she doesn't want to give up so quickly.

Therefore, the prince pretended not to know her mind, and she also pretended not to know Murong Shuo's mind. Now, a Luo Xiaogong is suddenly inserted, and there will be another crown princess in the near future. What kind of permutations will the five people end up with?

The holy decree has been made, and Qiao Zhihan also knows that no matter what she asks, she can't change it. So she sat there for a while, and then took her leave. The prince didn't say anything, and called the housekeeper and the other housekeepers to officially convey the holy order. The specific implementation is done by the people below.

It's just that I just heard that the five people who are going to enter the mansion, three of them are the people of the second prince, and the rest, Prime Minister Luo Cheng has always been neutral, and the fifth daughter of the Taifu has just turned thirteen years old, at such a young age, how can the prince bear to pull her into this whirlpool. Needless to say, she should only be a filler. Alas, it seems that this last candidate can only ask Prime Minister Luo's eldest daughter to hold on to the end. Otherwise, the remaining three, which one of them will be overstretched and lose most of them.

Originally, the prince also planned to discuss with Murong Shuo about the matter after the candidate entered the mansion, but before the holy decree was read, Murong Shuo left. The prince expected that he would be in a bad mood when he left, and he would definitely not stay in the mansion at this moment, I am afraid that at this time, he must have gone to a place far away from the prince's mansion to relax. If you want to discuss things, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for him to come back.

The prince expected that he was right, as soon as Murong Shuo left the main hall, he jumped directly, flew out of the mansion from the eaves, and flew towards Yaoshan, which seemed close in the mansion but was actually far away. It is the best place to look at the Divine Tree from afar, and there is the largest golden statue of the Divine Tree in the country, as a member of the Murong family, it is better for him to meditate closer to the Divine Tree.
