Chapter 778: The Princess
King Mu got the "edict" after a heart has not been settled, day after day looking forward to Emperor Ming Kang's return to heaven as soon as possible, the reason why the soldiers do not move, on the one hand, it takes time to prepare secretly, on the other hand, it is waiting for the death of King Rui to cover the coffin, then he is the only heir, and the "edict" will not be used.
Who wants to wait and wait, but actually waited until the vigorous King Rui came back, how could this not make King Mu crazy.
"No, no, we have to hurry. King Mu slammed the wall and said, "Why aren't you dead!"
Ming Kangdi, who was "old and immortal", looked at his son who almost died outside, and was very pleased: "It's good to come back." β
He said, he sent the fifth child to Lingtai Mountain to pray for blessings, and God should help him, how could he let the fifth child die outside?
Sure enough, the fifth child didn't come back smoothly.
Emperor Ming Kangdi glanced at King Rui carefully and nodded in satisfaction.
Well, the fifth child looks a little fatter than when we met three years ago.
Emperor Ming Kangdi asked about what happened to King Rui these days.
King Rui escaped death, thanks to the help of the guards sent by Shao Mingyuan, and he was full of gratitude to Shao Mingyuan at this moment, but he knew Emperor Mingkang's taboo, so he didn't mention half a word, and said the thrilling things again.
"So, there are really bandits among those outcasts?"
"Yes, father, there is obviously a group of people among the exiles who are highly skilled, most of the son's guards were lost in their hands, and the rest were also scattered, and then the son's minister was pushed into the river, but fortunately the father blessed him to come back safely. β
Emperor Ming Kang pondered and said: "The bandit who sued Lan Songquan is still imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, let the Shangshu of the Criminal Department take you to identify it." β
Going to recognize people is just a formality for King Rui, and he is not a fool, he finally brought down Lanshan and his son, is it difficult to rehabilitate them? Lanshan and his son have not blocked him over the years, and the banner is clearly on King Mu's side.
The matter was conclusive, and King Rui returned to the palace to bathe, change clothes, burn incense, and slept well for two days before he recovered.
Thinking that this trip to the Ghost Gate was only possible to pass through by the personal guards of the champion Hou, King Rui pondered for a long time and went to Li Jiao with his feet.
During the days when King Rui's life and death were unknown, Li Jiao lost a lot of weight, his chin was pointed and almost used as an awl, his waist was not full of hand, and because he changed his summer shirt, he looked as if he was about to be blown away by the wind.
King Rui couldn't help but feel a little pity when he saw it, and held Li Jiao's hand and said, "I've worried you these days." β
Li Jiao immediately burst into tears: "It's nothing if the concubine is worried, just if the prince is fine." If the prince really has a case, the concubine can only go with the prince, and until now he is thinking that the prince is blessed with all the heavens, and it will be fine......"
King Rui was even more moved when he heard this, and tightened Li Jiao's hand and said, "Jiaoniang, this king is going to ask for the position of side concubine for you." β
The Li family became a side concubine, and the Li family was barely a serious relative, and when the time came, in the name of the Li family, he often walked around with the champion Mrs. Hou, and no one else could find fault with it.
And his relationship with Champion Hou can naturally go further.
Li Jiao trembled, his heart was ecstatic, but his face was not revealing at all, and he lowered his eyebrows and said: "How can Concubine He De be worthy of the position of side concubine, the sisters in the house either entered the palace earlier than the concubine, or gave birth to a little prince and grandson for the princeββ"
King Rui smiled disapprovingly: "What if you enter the mansion early, who in the mansion is from a nobler background than you? Your uncle is a high-ranking official in the court, and your father is a noble Hanlin, so it is a grievance to be a side concubine." As for the little Wang Sun, you have already given birth to the eldest daughter for this king, and you are still worried that you will not be able to give birth to the little Wang Sun in the future?"
Li Jiaoqiang endured the excitement in his heart and bowed to King Rui: "Concubine, thank you for your love!"
She finally waited, although she was only a side concubine, but there was no concubine in the house, and she would be the only one in the future.
And among the many concubines in the palace, she can overpower the two concubines who gave birth to her son to become a side concubine, which shows that the prince really cares about her.
King Rui suffered a lot outside, and at this moment, the beauty is looking like a thousand obedient again, so she couldn't help but be interested, and pulled Li Jiao and kissed her.
Li Jiaoxi couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he unconsciously let go of everyone's beautiful reserve, and for a while let King Rui know the taste of the marrow, and asked for two times before resting.
King Rui's suffering was to pray for the blessing of Emperor Ming Kang, and Emperor Ming Kangdi knew it in his heart, and soon approved King Rui's request.
Empress Dowager Yang heard the movement and called King Rui over: "The mourning family heard that you want to ask for a side concubine for the Li family?"
King Rui said: "There has been no master mother in the grandson's house for a long time, and there should be a person in charge." β
"Hasn't Qianniang been taking care of the affairs of the palace, the mourning family sees her as a good one, and she has been in charge of the palace all these years in an orderly manner. β
"Although Qian Niang is good, in the end she is only the personal maid of the Yuan Concubine, and she has no son and half a daughter, please seal the side concubine may cause criticism. β
The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this: "If you are judged by the heirs, didn't there be two concubines in your house who gave birth to sons for you?"
"One of the two is the daughter of a pig killer, and the other is a dancer, so he can't be on the stage. β
"Okay, the mourning family knows. β
After sending away King Rui, Empress Dowager Yang immediately ordered Laixi to invite Emperor Ming Kangdi.
Although Emperor Ming Kangdi was affectionate to the concubines and children, he was filial to his mother, so he immediately put down the matter at hand and went to Cining Palace.
Looking at the son of the fairy wind bone, Empress Dowager Yang's eyebrows and heart jumped, secretly recited Amitabha, and said: "Zhang'er can come back safely, and the heart of the mourning family that has been hanging for many days has finally been put down." β
"Let the queen mother worry about it. β
Empress Dowager Yang glanced at Emperor Ming Kangdi, and said in a changed tone: "But the heart of the mourning family is only half of it. β
Ming Condi put on a look of listening attentively.
"Princess Rui has been gone for several years, and there is not even a person in charge of the huge palace. At that time, when the news of Zhang'er's accident came, the mourning family's heart was like frying in an oil pot, thinking that if Zhang'er had a good one, what would Rui Wangfu do?
"The queen mother meansβ"
The mourning family felt that it was time to choose a step-concubine for Zhang'er. β
When Princess Rui died of illness, several of King Rui's children died in succession, and hundreds of officials and nobles muttered, and they didn't dare to send their pampered daughter into the palace.
It's a good thing to be a step-concubine, but if you stand on the wrong team, then you will put a whole family in it.
Emperor Ming Kang and the Queen Mother knew this, so they simply put aside the matter of choosing a concubine for King Rui for the time being.
"I wonder if the queen mother has a favorite candidate?"
Empress Dowager Yang raised her eyelids: "A few days ago, the old lady Liuxing Hou took the six girls into the palace to see the mourning family, and it was good for the mourning family to look at the girl." β
Ming Kangdi's eyelids jumped, and after a little thought, he responded.
is five years old, and he has the credit of praying for him, and the step-concubine's selection from the queen mother's family can be regarded as an indication of his attitude.
Of course, he didn't say it directly, if the fifth child doesn't suit his wishes in the future, he can still change it at any time.
Three days later, the chamberlain came to the Rui King's Mansion with the holy decree.
