Yu Nianniang's words made the emperor immediately interested. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You met Mrs. Duan?"

"Yes. Your Majesty, look at such a big sun, Mrs. Duan would actually go to the garden alone, so the folk girl stopped and said a few words to Mrs. Duan, but thinking that the emperor was still waiting for the folk girl, she didn't dare to say more, so she hurried over after leaving Mrs. Duan. ”

"Is the Mrs. Duan you are talking about the family of Duan Licheng, the waiter of the Criminal Department?" The emperor pointed to the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch immediately brought a stool and put it next to Yu Nianniang, who sat on the stool as usual and chatted with the emperor about family life.

Yu Nianniang nodded: "Emperor Mingjian is indeed Lord Duan's family. ”

"You know Mrs. Duan very well?" The emperor looked at Yu Nianniang.

"It's not very familiar." Yu Nianniang said with a smile, talking about her acquaintance with Mrs. Duan in Taiyuan: "...... At that time, the name of the folk girl was unknown, and no one knew her, and Lord Duan once thought that the folk girl was a warlock who cheated on eating and drinking. I was very unhappy to see Mrs. Duan interacting with me. ”

The emperor laughed, and his words were full of real pleasure: "This is indeed Duan Qing's temperament. Duan Qing is a loyal minister. ”

"Yes, when Lord Duan returned to the capital to take office, the people also heard about Lord Duan's deeds, saying that he was the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian, enforcing the law and devoting himself to the court." Yu Nianniang also smiled and said: "If the officials of our Celestial Empire can be like Lord Duan, I believe that it will be more prosperous and the people will live a better life." ”

The emperor smiled slightly, he looked at Yu Nianniang with a slightly regretful look in his eyes, from the contact these days, the emperor also understood that Yu Nianniang was indeed an upright and frank person, if someone else said this, he might be really angry, but this kind of words came out of Yu Nianniang's mouth, and the emperor did not doubt it at all.

"However, I didn't expect that a fair and honest person like Lord Duan would also have troubles." Yu Nianniang sighed, and then picked up the tea cup on the table.

"Oh? How do you say that? The Emperor asked curiously.

Yu Nianniang put down the teacup, just like her elders, and poured beans into her mouthful and told her what she had just met Mrs. Duan in the garden: "...... said that Miss Duan had reached the age of talking about her mother-in-law's family, but Miss Duan just wanted to find someone who could be good to herself and live a good life; Lord Duan hopes that Miss Duan will find a knowledgeable person, the average reader is the best, and the family background does not need to be too high or too low, so that Miss Duan will not suffer a loss if she marries; But Mrs. Duan hoped that Miss Duan could find a century-old family of scholars, saying that this would be good for the child in the future; However, Miss Duan's parents wanted Miss Duan to return to Taiyuan Mansion to do her business...... A big family actually thinks differently, Your Majesty, do you think this is a trouble? ”

The emperor frowned and asked, "You mean that Lord Duan and Mrs. Duan don't want Miss Duan to marry into the princess's family or the royal family at all?" ”

Yu Nianniang was stunned for a moment and said, "Is Miss Duan going to marry the royal family?" I haven't heard Mrs. Duan mention it! Then he said: "The emperor's intention to marry the royal family, who is he marrying?" ”

The emperor suddenly said something and waved his hand: "I just talk casually." ”

Yu Nianniang didn't hide her temperament from the first time she saw the emperor, and she said what she thought of. Of course, she is also selective in what she thinks and says, and those words that will make the emperor unhappy and anger the emperor cannot, of course, not say a word.

Therefore, at this time, the emperor has become accustomed to Yu Nianniang saying whatever she hears.

"The royal words are now only the eldest prince and the second prince, does the emperor want Miss Duan to marry the eldest prince or the second prince?" Yu Nianniang asked curiously and respectfully.

It's not that he wants Duan Zhiqin to marry a prince, but someone asked him for it.

The emperor suddenly wanted to hear Yu Nianniang's opinion: "Then do you think it is better for Miss Duan to marry the eldest prince or the second prince?" ”

Yu Nianniang's face was whole up, and she thought about it seriously, and then said seriously: "Since the emperor asked, the people's daughter will talk about it casually, and the emperor will listen to it." ”

The emperor was suddenly amused by her meticulous and rigorous appearance, and said kindly: "You say that you say, if you say something wrong, I will not condemn you." ”

"Okay, then the folk girl will say." Yu Nianniang looked serious: "The eldest prince and the second prince have already set up a concubine, the eldest prince has also set up a side concubine, and the second prince can also set up another side concubine." However, the concubine of these two princes heard that it seems to be Duan Sizhen, the daughter of Lord Duan of the Taifu Temple, and Lord Duan of the Taifu Temple and Lord Duan, the servant of the Criminal Department, are brothers, and according to the generation, Duan Sizhen is still Duan Zhiqin's aunt. If Miss Duan Zhiqin is also given to the second prince, it is not good for the aunt and niece to wait for a husband together. ”

"What's wrong?" There were only the emperor and Yu Nianniang in the hall, so the emperor also asked bluntly.

Although it is not unheard of in history that two sisters serve a husband, my aunt and niece have never heard of it. Moreover, since the concubine of the second prince is already from Duanfu, why should she marry another girl from Duanfu, unless the second prince really likes Duan. But as far as I can tell, it seems that the second prince is not familiar with Miss Duan, so ......" Yu Nianniang looked at the emperor and smiled.

The meaning is obvious, the prince marrying a concubine is not to look at people, but to see the family behind it, and it has already been related to Duanfu, so why waste a chess piece and marry a girl from Duanfu?

The emperor raised his eyebrows, he was the emperor of course understood what Yu Nianniang meant, this kind of thing has always been crowned with a high-sounding and good-sounding name, like Yu Nianniang is not shy about it, it is really not true to say it bluntly, he was a little uncomfortable just now, but when he looked at Yu Nianniang again, his face was calm, his expression was serious, and his words were sincere, not those with ulterior motives at all.

The emperor threw away the strangeness in his heart and said lightly: "What you said is very good. The concubine did ask me a few days ago to give Miss Duan to the second prince as a side concubine. ”

Yu Nianniang looked surprised.

The Emperor gave her a faint look and continued, "However, as you said, therefore, I did not agree immediately. He added: "You don't have to be surprised, a person like you who has no background and no backing walks in the palace, naturally he won't know these things." ”

Yu Nianniang put away the surprise on her face, she was just surprised that the concubine had already asked the emperor for an order two days earlier.

"It seems that the second prince's side concubine really has to be picky." The emperor leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands, contemplated his eyebrows, and said after a while: "The third son of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, that is, the second girl of the Wang Xingshi family of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, is just the right age, but it is not suitable for Lord Shangshu to be a second-class official residence and a scholar of the cabinet; There are concubines in Wuhou Mansion, but Wu Houye's youngest daughter is a concubine, which seems to be inappropriate; The county lord of Anding is even more unsuitable to be the side concubine of the second prince; There is a younger daughter of the Dali Siqing family who is seventeen this year, slightly older than the second prince, and she is not good; …… It seems that I can only find ...... in the Tong Bo Mansion house."

Yu Nianniang sat silently on the side.

Providence is unpredictable, and that's a good thing.

The emperor felt that it was a waste for the main concubines and side concubines of the second prince to marry a girl from the same house, and they could not increase the power of the second prince; But he didn't want to give the girl in the really powerful house to the second prince, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have a side concubine suitable for the second prince, so the emperor thought that only the most suitable one could be found in Concubine Tong's maiden house.

I don't know if he's helping the eldest prince or the second prince. Perhaps, this is the emperor's balancing act!
