The queen was afraid of long nights and dreams, so she presented the marriage list to Her Majesty that night.

The emperor looked at the list, sneered, and threw it to Zuo Xiang, who was discussing with him: "Is it appropriate to see this?"

Huang Zuoxiang looked at the list again, looked up at the emperor in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, this is your family matter, and I dare not say much." ”

The emperor waved his hand at him: "My family affairs are also state affairs, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zuo Xiang said respectfully: "Your Majesty Xie trusts me." The prince gave the marriage of the princess as the princess of Zhenguo, and the third granddaughter of the eldest princess as the side concubine. The marriage of the second prince is the eldest princess, the eldest granddaughter is the second imperial concubine, and the third daughter of the Enguo Mansion is the side concubine. This ......"

"If you have something to say, I don't blame. ”

Zuo Xiang said bluntly: "This marriage is obviously respected by the second prince, and the status of the second prince's concubine and side concubine is higher than that of the prince's main concubine and side concubine." The most important point is that the prince's main concubine and side concubine are still young, and they will only become adults in three or two years, and the prince will not have an heir in four or five years. I am afraid that this marriage will attract doubts from the ministers. ”

The emperor was expressionless: "The queen has good intentions, she very much hopes that people with the blood of your Huang family will inherit the unification in the future." ”

Zuo Xiang knelt down at once: "I respect Your Majesty in everything." ”

The emperor motioned for him to get up, and of course the suspicious emperor knew about the past of Zuo Xiang and the Huang family. Otherwise, the queen sits big in the harem and sits big in front and left, doesn't he let his relatives dominate? In fact, this is what many people think in their hearts.

Zuo Xiang continued to express his loyalty: "Without Your Majesty, you are nothing. 'The matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king' Weichen swears allegiance to His Majesty. Huang Jia......"

The emperor smiled, he was very satisfied with Zuo Xiang's attitude.

"Aiqing, I have promised the queen and agreed that she will have the final say in this marriage, so be it. ”

Zuo Xiang said respectfully: "The world is the emperor's world, Your Majesty has great power and can control everyone and things, so how can this marriage be expensive? The emperor is strong and strong, and there are still decades to cultivate the person you like, and now someone wants to fight for it, Your Majesty should watch the play and have fun." ”

The emperor is too satisfied with this courtier: he has the talent to help the world and the country. He is also empathetic, loyal and reliable. Won his heart.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and felt that he had too little gift to him, so he said: "Aiqing is loyal to me, and I am deeply pleased. If you ask for something, I will answer you. He felt that the best way for the minister to be faithful was to marry. So he continued, "I remember that you have two concubines...... ”

Zuo Xiang said: "Thank you for your great grace." The daughters under him are all married and have children, and they are only seven years old. He thought to himself, my daughter can't become a victim of the Huang family's struggle for power.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Then wait a few years and point out the third princess to your child." ”

The left minister knelt down and thanked him, and shouted long live the grace of God.

The emperor said that he was very happy, and he thought that my marriage would make Zuo Xiang more loyal to himself.

Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is happy to have a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city?"

The emperor smiled and pointed at him and said, "Speaking of which, this beautiful woman still has something to do with you." ”

Zuo Xiang was stunned for a moment, revealing a puzzled look.

The emperor said: "This beautiful woman is your future daughter-in-law's aunt." ”

Zuo Xiang suddenly realized: "I didn't expect the Zhang family to be able to cultivate such a stunning appearance, the two sisters can serve the emperor and get the emperor's favor, but it is really their Zhang family's ancestral tomb is smoking." ”

The emperor heard a strong sourness from his words, I am afraid that he regretted that he did not have a suitable daughter to send to the palace.

The prince was very satisfied with the news, and he was looking forward to the chaos in the harem next, and then the chaos in the previous dynasty. Aren't you going to fight for the crown prince? Aren't you going to fight for the throne?

Chinese New Year's Eve. The minister of the first rank took the lady of the main room and sat in the palace in order according to the size of the official position. The emperor and queen were sitting in the hall, and the concubines sat down left and right in order of rank.

Several princes and princesses and their relatives sat at the front of the inner hall, next to the emperor and queen.

Everyone gathered together, drank wine, listened to songs and dances......

After three rounds of wine, the emperor gave a speech: Youzhou is blessed by God, the wind and rain are smooth, the country is rich and the people are strong, and I hope that in the coming year, the monarch and the ministers will work together to create brilliance and build a prosperous dynasty......

Everyone listened passionately, knelt down and shouted three long live.

The emperor continued: "In order to have a good fortune in the coming year, I have decided to have a three-happy coming. The New Year is a joy, and then the prince is married to two likes, and the second prince is married. ”

The crown prince and the second prince knelt on the spot to listen to the order.

"The concubine of the prince of Zhenguo was given to the prince as the crown princess, and the third granddaughter of the eldest princess was the side concubine. The eldest granddaughter of the eldest princess gave the second prince as the second princess, and the third daughter of the en's family as the side concubine. ”

Everyone present was amazed at such a marriage, and no one could see that this marriage was the most unfavorable to the prince. The ministers who have girls in the family who match the prince's age are secretly glad in their hearts that they did not marry the prince, otherwise the whole family would not be protected.

The emperor doesn't care what others think, he wants to go back and get close to his beauty, he has waited for a day, and he doesn't want to wait another hour.

Before in the early morning, the queen took Concubine Wan to perform the sealing ceremony, the palace was cleaned up, incense was made to make the bed, the new master was welcomed, and dozens of palace people were arranged to serve in Zhaoyang Palace. The emperor was very satisfied with the queen's ability to manage the harem. The emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet gave the marriage according to the empress's wishes, and the empress was also very satisfied.

The emperor pretended to be drunk and left early, and went to Zhaoyang Palace to honor his beauty, leaving only the happy, jealous and hateful queen to cope with the dinner.

The two used each other to get what they wanted: one for beauty, the other for power. Most of the time marriage is about taking what you need.

Concubine Wan was favored overnight, but the surprise broke the emperor. There are countless beauties in his harem, but he has never met such a beauty: quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit. Under the bed, the demeanor is all directions, and the bed is gentle and cheerful. For the first time, he understood what a gentle township was, and deeply experienced the mood of "the princes of the beacon fire opera, and the cracked silk to win the laughter of beauties".

Since then, Emperor Youzhou, who has never been obsessed with women, has been pampering his beauties in every way. His Majesty, who was very satisfied with his body and mind, did not know what could express his love for beauty, so he promised that once Concubine Wan gave birth to a child, he would be crowned a concubine.

Just ask how a beautiful harem woman can compete with such a woman: she has the appearance of a country, elegant posture, and gentleness. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows a thing or two about astronomy, geography and history. The emperor can find new differences from her every day, and there is always something to talk about with her. The emperor is like a man who has just met love, deeply indulging in the gentle township of his favorite concubine.

Many beauties in the harem of Youzhou gradually became ornaments, and the emperor went to the queen's palace on the fifteenth day of the new year to walk through the motions, and rested in Zhaoyang Palace every night.

The queen hated so much that she couldn't sleep day and night, and her methods of rectifying the concubines in the past were completely ineffective.

His Majesty sent Xiao Linzi, the disciple of his most trusted eunuch chief, to Zhaoyang Palace, and also sent a few palace maids and eunuchs who knew kung fu. The emperor pulled out all the nails that the queen arranged in Zhaoyang Palace and replaced them with his own people. The queen didn't have the slightest chance to secretly attack Concubine Wan, and it was a lose-lose affair to do it publicly, and she was unwilling to do so. The queen's mind is now trying to find a way to make Concubine Wan fall out of favor.
