In the imperial study, after the emperor finished testing Zhao Jingyun's knowledge, he changed the topic and mentioned several granddaughters of Xie Shenzhi's family. Zhao Jingyun "chuckled" in his heart, he didn't know what the emperor meant, so he had to cheer up.

After briefly commenting on Xie Liangying's sisters one by one, the emperor asked, "I heard from the Queen Mother that Yuanyuan seems to have a good impression of Miss Xie Si?" I remember that the four girls of the Xie family had never entered the palace, and they had never met Yuanyuan. Yun'er, what's going on? ”

Zhao Jingyun didn't dare to look directly at the emperor, and the palms of his hands were full of sweat. He said truthfully: "On that day, the little prince of the Ke Wangfu family was full moon, and I had a relationship with Miss Xie Si in the palace, and I thought she was very interesting. After returning to the palace, I mentioned a few words to Yuanyuan, maybe she was interested. ”

The emperor looked at Zhao Jingyun for a long time, and suddenly felt that he saw his former self from this son's body. When he wanted to marry Taifu Jiang's daughter, he also faced the first emperor with such trepidation, for fear that one accident would mess things up.

Thinking about it like this, the emperor sympathized with Zhao Jingyun, who was trembling in battle. He didn't want to be a father like the emperor. He is Zhao Jingyun's father, although he is a blood relative, he is the first monarch and then the father. But the emperor felt that reason was higher than law in all things in the world, and he couldn't bear to do tough things to his children. Although in the emperor's mind, Xie Liangwan is not a qualified candidate for the crown princess or empress, but as the queen mother said, people can be trained after marrying.

"Yun'er, you...... Isn't it a pleasure to thank Miss Si? "The emperor decided to have a showdown with Zhao Jingyun straight to the point. In order to alleviate his son's worries, the emperor sat down on the Luohan bed in front of the window and picked up the chess pieces on the small kang on the bed. He beckoned to Zhao Jingyun, "Come, sit, play a game with me." ”

Zhao Jingyun walked over nervously, sat opposite the emperor, and picked up a white seed, but he didn't know where to go. His mind went blank, and his heart beat so loud that it seemed to be heard in the whole temple. He didn't want this matter to involve Xie Liangwan, that woman was simple and kind, just like his sister, she was a very beautiful person. Zhao Jingyun didn't want his sister to be contaminated by the filth inside and outside the palace, and he also didn't want Xie Liangwan to be contaminated.

The emperor sighed in his heart and threw away the chess pieces in his hand at will. "I don't think Miss Xie Si is bad. The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, not all the girls in the family are good, and the poor family does not necessarily not be able to raise good people. As your father, I just want you to have a good time. If you and Miss Xie Si are really in love, you might as well set the person, and she is also old. Although you are a few years older, you are not worried, the Queen Mother is five years older than the first emperor. After a pause, he added, "If you just treat each other as ordinary people, then let's find another good girl." ”

Zhao Jingyun clenched the white child in his hand tightly in his palm, and mustered up the courage to look directly at the emperor. "Father, I know that Ah Wan is not the best candidate, but ...... "But what? Do you like her like that? Or did he pack a ticket to his father, saying that he would teach Xie Liangwan to be a qualified candidate?

The emperor looked at Zhao Jingyun quietly, waiting for his next words.

Zhao Jingyun calmed down in thousands of thoughts, and he slowly spoke, "For Yuanyuan, I want to find a woman with a good and lively temperament, who can take care of Yuanyuan for me when I am not careful." For myself," Zhao Jingyun's face flushed slightly, he was still young, and it was a little difficult to talk about these men and □□women, "I am willing to eat my meals with Yuanyuan, and I am willing to read with the light by the window at night, which is very good." ”

The emperor's eyes sharpened, "Even if she can't take care of the affairs of the harem for you in the future, you need to do it yourself." The wife clan will only provide you with help, and even the corruption of the family will make your impeachment of the imperial history unbearable. Do you hesitate to do the same? ”

This was the first time that the emperor had told Zhao Jingyun bluntly that he was the successor he had chosen.

Zhao Jingyun looked at the emperor, his gaze did not dodge. Although he did not speak, his eyes had already told the emperor of his choice.

The Emperor let out a long sigh and stood up. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and asked Zhao Jingyun, "Xie Shen knows this disease, I'm afraid it won't get better." His wife Yan is the family of Bao Xie, and she is afraid that she will vote for Bai Xiang. When the time comes, she will be the daughter of a sinner, how will you be? ”

Zhao Jingyun didn't hesitate for a moment, "Mrs. Liu's two granddaughters, one is missing, and the other is crazy. Thinking about it, with one more granddaughter Cheng Huan on his knees, the Liu family should be happy. ”

The emperor turned around and looked at Zhao Jingyun with a complicated expression. replied without the slightest hesitation, which meant that Zhao Jingyun had already considered various possibilities, and even chose the most suitable path for Xie Liangwan. At the same time, it also means that Zhao Jingyun is ready to compete with the emperor's eldest son.

The emperor was a little relieved that this son was stronger than him, and he would go farther than him in the future. I seem to have picked a very suitable person.

"You go back and go see Yuanyuan." The emperor instructed, "If there is anything difficult about the meal, go and tell Li Qian, and he will arrange it for you." ”

The emperor also understood the difficulties of Zhao Jingyun's brother and sister, but he couldn't do anything clearly. Now is the time of the treacherous situation, it is too eye-catching. He couldn't leave the slightest trace for the Bai family to notice.

Zhao Jingyun smiled slightly, "Thank you father, these careful ministers can still deal with it." ”

The emperor nodded, watched Zhao Jingyun salute and left. Looking at his son's back, the emperor noticed for the first time that this son had really grown up. Although the shoulders are not particularly broad, they look as if they can withstand a thousand pounds of heavy burden.

The Queen Mother ordered the ladies of each family to bring the girls to the palace for a banquet. There was the marriage of the prince proposed by Bai Xiang before, and there was the will of the Queen Mother, who didn't know that this banquet was actually looking at each other. The whole capital is a sensation, all the silk and satin shops, fat powder shops, and even the embroidery village are very lively, everyone wants to leave a good impression in the hearts of the queen mother and the queen. If you don't stand out, you have to find another way, work clothing, and the outstanding ones want to be icing on the cake more and more.

Wei Yang was so tired that he was about to lie down, and there were not enough people in the shop at all, so even he, the account office, began to be a man. finally took a look at the empty space, drank water and rested, and had to be ridiculed by Xie Liangying. Wei Yang looked at the smiling owner angrily, "The owner is also going to the palace to participate in the banquet, how can it be so easy?" ”

I still have time to patrol the shop.

Xie Liangying said with a smile: "I have already promised someone, and the banquet has nothing to do with me." I'm just using this as a cover to make everyone look better. Otherwise, don't you say that the royal wife is unstable? ”

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all eager to do it, but they still have to leave some brilliance on their faces and cover it with something, so that people can know that it is not their own family that is rushing, but that the girl is really good.

Wei Yang raised his eyebrows, "Aren't the two sisters of the owner still unmarried?" I'm afraid I'm going to go too, right? ”

Xie Shenzhi is still a third-grade official, and his granddaughter is naturally qualified.

Xie Liangying waved her hand, "Don't mention it, my second aunt is going crazy with joy." Originally, I was looking at people correctly, but now I am more and more interested in looking for them. I was able to come out today thanks to her blessing, and by giving my two sisters some fat powder. ”

The Ling family took action as soon as they received the will, and in the past few days, the Xie family has been in and out of countless outsiders, all in order to make Xie Liangting and Xie Liangwan enter the palace and have a good appearance. Although it was a lot noisy, it also swept away the depression that the Xie family had been hovering over.

It's just that the Ling family has lost her life, and the grandmother of the Xie family is sick again, so who will bring the girls into the palace has become the biggest trouble. At this time, the Ling family remembered that the Wei family came, if the grave woman in the big house was still there, where did she need to worry about this. I just can't go by myself, and Wei leads me in. Wei is used to entering the palace, and he can always mention two nieces.

Ling Shi thought about it in his stomach for a long time, and finally pulled Xie Liangying out of the corner. Didn't this niece of the third room deal with many noble ladies? This time I was also invited. After Ling Shi typed the manuscript, he went to find Xie Liangying.

Xie Liangying was serving Xie Shenzhi to drink medicine, and when she saw that the Ling family appeared here for the first time, she was still smiling, and she knew what Ling had in mind. She wasn't going to go, there was still a mess at home, if she left, and the Ling family would be a hands-off shopkeeper, then who would care? It's not that you can't call the grandmothers to come, it's just that there are always some in-laws between the people in the house, and there is no master to control it, so it's going to be messy.

Seeing that Xie Liangying was embarrassed, the Ling family took care of everything. She should have been in charge, but now it's just really in charge. As long as the daughters can have a good future, it doesn't hurt to be tired.

Xie Liangying saw that she couldn't refuse, so she had to come out to run errands for her sisters. She wasn't unhappy, and she didn't have much fun at home, except for taking care of the elders, it was just some trivial chores, no matter how fresh it was at first, and she got tired of it after a long time. Moreover, she also hopes to push Xie Liangwan. Zhao Jingyun and Xie Liangwan haven't seen each other since that day, but Xie Liangying saw Xie Liangwan's cloth bag close to Zhao Jingyun.

Although Xie Liangwan has not yet opened her mind, it is obvious that she has an intention in her heart. I'm just worried about what that one in the palace means. However, Xie Liangying looked at it coldly, and felt that it was not unintentional. Xue Jian just came out of the palace a few days ago, and he came to Xie's house, and among the things he brought was Xie Liangwan's only one. You don't have to guess who sent it to him.

Now I'm only worried about whether someone will cut off the beard. Xie Liangying had already learned from Xue Jian's mouth that many people in the upper court still smelled the direction of the wind and were ready to bet on Zhao Jingyun. The girls from those families are Xie Liangwan's very strong competitors, and they don't have to choose their family background, appearance, or talent. Even if Xie Liangying himself is concerned, he can't admit against his will that Xie Liangwan, who can only eat, can win others.

In this case, it will take a little effort to dress up when entering the palace.
