699, Xinli
Since Yao Keqing called him the second uncle in front of Yao Chongming, Zhu found a craftsman to separate the courtyard of the long house from the Hou Mansion according to Yao Keqing's explanation, and opened the garden gate, not entering and exiting the Hou Mansion, and even the monthly rules of the Hou Mansion were not received, so Zhu used his meager dowry to supply the expenses of the long house, because Yao Qiguang's illness had to be raised with many precious medicinal materials, so Zhu's dowry was not enough, and he had to cut many servants in the family, and some of the subordinates were not satisfied, so they went to the yamen. With-Dream- . lΔ
At this time, everyone in the capital knows that the Changxiang Marquis Mansion has sent away all the servants who have served for decades, how poor is this?
At this time, a patrol and defense historian who returned to Beijing handed an excerpt to the imperial front, talking about the affairs of the Changxiang Marquis's Mansion.
Emperor Yao had just finished reading the excerpt, and Prince De'an stepped forward and whispered, "Concubine Yu asks to see!" β
Emperor Yao closed the fold, raised his eyes, and a sharp look flashed, "Xuan!" β
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" Concubine Yu knelt down and bowed.
"Flat! De'an, take a seat for the concubine! β
"Emperor Xie!" Concubine Yu sat on the chair brought by Father-in-law De'an.
"Why did the concubine come?" Emperor Yao took another copy of the music and asked while opening it.
"The concubine is here for the king!" Concubine Yu's charming face was full of sadness, "Since the princess is gone, the king has been depressed, and the concubines are anxious in their eyes, so they are looking forward to marrying another princess as soon as possible, and there is a person who knows cold and hot!" β
Compared with Yu Guifei's motherly heart, Emperor Yao's father is much calmer and more rational, "How can a manly husband be concerned about his children's private affairs?" As a prince, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of helping the world, beware of the world, and ignores the great cause of his family and country for his own selfish feelings, I don't have such a coopy son! β
Emperor Yao's last sentence was heavy, and Concubine Yu was so frightened that her legs weakened, so she slipped down the chair and knelt down, justifying, "King Li did not delay his official duties because of this, but the concubine, the distressed son of the mother, is alone, and he is old, and there is no man and half woman who is on his knees, and he can't help but be anxious about his marriage!" Please also ask the emperor to forgive the concubine's hard work! β
Concubine Yu came to ask Emperor Yao to marry King Li, but Emperor Yao was silent for a moment and did not immediately agree, "Princess Li has only been gone for more than a month, and the bones are not cold, and King Li is going to have a new concubine on the other side, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, why should I talk about it in a year or two!" β
Although Emperor Yao didn't refuse, he didn't agree, Concubine Yu Guifei weighed it slightly for a moment and still insisted, "Although the custom is like this, it's just that the four side concubines in the palace of the Li Dynasty are all famous, if they don't decide on the candidates for the next Li princess as soon as possible, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have thoughts that they should not have births!" β
Yu Guifei said implicitly, and did not say what the thoughts of the side concubines should not be born, but Emperor Yao also understood one or two, the people still have no concubine room to correct the atmosphere, and the royal family can not take the lead in doing this kind of thing, so the attitude was a little relaxed, "They were originally set as side concubines because their character and talent were not enough to shoulder the position of princess, not because of their background, the concubines should be strictly controlled and taught more to prevent accidents!" β
"Yes, the concubine obeys the order!" Concubine Yu Guifei responded, and said, "The concubines are in the palace, and the palace of the king of Li is far away outside the palace, and the concubines can manage it for a limited time, and it is okay to manage it for a year and a half, but it can't go on like this for a long time, so hurry up and set up another concubine for the king of Li, and they will be in peace!" β
Concubine Yu insisted so much on immediately setting up a new princess, and Emperor Yao couldn't help but wonder who she had taken a fancy to.
"It's good!" Emperor Yao finally nodded, "Does the concubine have a fancy to someone again?" β
Concubine Yu Guifei was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Although Princess Li did not leave any heirs in front of her, King Li is a continuation after all!" I don't really like anyone for a while! β
Don't even have a favorite? Then why are you so eager to set up a new princess? Emperor Yao doesn't believe it!
"Since you don't have a suitable candidate, I will let the queen help you take a look, it just so happens that the Duchess of Chongguo is begging the queen to choose a daughter-in-law for her son!"
Yu Guifei was stunned in her heart, and said busily, "Although I don't like it very much, there are a few who can barely get into the eye!" β
Then Yu Guifei said a few candidates, but Emperor Yao was not impressed, until he said Yao Kerou, "...... There is also Miss Yao Si, although she is the youngest, but she has a straightforward and refreshing personality, and she is a rare Lisuo daughter, which is completely different from the previous princess, which is also a good thing, so as not to remember the old man when he looks at the similar eyebrows, eyes and temperament! β
Emperor Yao felt a little familiar, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "This Miss Yao Fourth is Miss Yao Er's sister?" β
"Yes!" Concubine Yu replied with her head bowed.
Emperor Yao took out the fold he had just put down again, looked at it, and asked, "Miss Yao Si and Miss Yao Er are cousins?" β
Concubine Yu Guifei is not very clear about the Yao family's shoulders, she only knows that Yao Chongming married two wives, and the two wives stood side by side at the same time, because the Yu family and the Xiao Miao family colluded, she subconsciously favored the side of the Xiao Miao family, "The concubine doesn't know!" I only know that Miss Yao Si and Miss Yao Er are not from the same mother, Miss Yao Si is a concubine! β
Emperor Yao glanced at the fold again, and then understood, "Then this Miss Yao Si is the girl in the second room of the Yao family!" β
Emperor Yao knew better than himself, Concubine Yu was stunned, and listened to Emperor Yao say again, "Speaking of the Yao family of the Marquis of Changxiang, I remembered an old incident, when the embankment broke in Zhangzhou, this Marquis Yao was going to be beheaded in prison because he was an official who supervised the construction of the embankment, but the results of the final thorough investigation came out but had nothing to do with him, I remember that the person in charge of this case seems to be the protΓ©gΓ© of the concubine's father!" Am I mistaken? β
Yu Guifei's heart jumped, and she replied, "Exactly!" β
Emperor Yao smiled, "It seems that this is fate!" Back then, the Yu family had a life-saving grace in the Yao family, and now if the Yao family can marry a daughter to King Li, it will be regarded as a favor! β
Although King Li's mother family is the Yu family, but King Li is the prince of the royal family, how can he be associated with his subordinates, but the Yu family's kindness to the Yao family is reported through King Li, isn't this clearly warning the Yu family to get too close to King Li!
Concubine Yu Guifei cried in fear, "The emperor Mingjian, the concubine is just distressed that the king does not have a confidant to accompany her, purely because she wants to feel sorry for her son, and has no other meaning!" β
Seeing Yu Guifei crying with a panicked face, Emperor Yao suddenly hated this face to the extreme, behind such a face was endless calculations and monstrous ambitions, pretending to be extremely deferential in front of him, but when he turned around, he stretched out his poisonous minions to all those who might be threatened.
"Get up! I know! Think about it these two days, if you have a favorite, tell the queen that you don't have to come to me! β
The emperor was relieved, although it didn't sound very reluctant, but he finally agreed, and Concubine Yu was grateful to Dade for kowtowing and kneeling.
"Xuanchang Township!" Emperor Yao stared at the music in front of him and said in a deep voice.
