By the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and the people began to prepare for farming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the snowstorm last year, many of the affected people did not harvest their crops, and the imperial court issued an order to distribute grain seeds to the people free of charge.

The emperor handed over this matter to the prince, and the prince did a good job, and began to have a good reputation among the people.

At this time, the Li family was in Changkun Palace, and they also mentioned the matter of the prince.

Li said: "Your Highness is now acting more and more in order, and the courtiers probably have almost an idea about his marriage." ”

The prince is sixteen this year, and he is in his first year, and he is almost at the age when he should get married. Taking the emperor as an example, the emperor also married Xianniang at the age of sixteen, and had a prince at the age of seventeen.

Lin Yan asked, "Who is the family fanciing?" ”

Since the Li family came to ask, it must be that the Lin family has already had a candidate, and the two families have a tacit understanding in private. Presumably, what the Li family also hopes is that if the candidate for the crown princess in the emperor's heart is different from the Lin family, they hope that Lin Yan can influence the emperor so that the emperor can finally determine the candidate that the Lin family likes.

Li glanced at Lin Yan, dipped the tea in his hand, and wrote the word "Cui" on the table.

Lin Yan was not too surprised, this was no different from the candidate Lin Yan expected.

The marriage with the Cui family is to choose the best clan for the prince from the perspective of the prince.

Lin Yan asked again: "Does the family have any ideas about the selection of the crown prince's concubine?" ”

According to the palace system, the prince's harem, there is one princess, two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, ten Chenghui, sixteen Zhaoxun, and twenty-four Fengyi.

From the age of fourteen, the crown prince was instructed by the maid of Shang's bed, but before marrying the crown princess, he could not take a concubine.

But the crown prince will not marry only one princess, and there will inevitably be two or four concubines who will accompany him into the East Palace.

And Lin Yan asked like this, asking if the Lin family had any plans to send a woman to the East Palace as a concubine.

Although there is no suitable girl in the capital branch of the Wuguo Mansion, the northwest family can still choose people from the side branches.

If the Lin family only considers it from the perspective of their own family, they should fight for the position of the crown princess, and with the status of the Duke of Wuguo and the relationship with the crown prince, this princess is not impossible to fight.

But from the perspective of the crown prince, the Lin family gave up the position of the crown princess and took a fancy to the Cui family, who were also in charge of the army.

After all, the crown prince will inherit the throne in the future, and his concubines, especially the concubines who accompanied the crown princess into the East Palace, have excellent family backgrounds and qualifications, as long as they can live until the prince ascends the throne, they will be able to earn the position of a fourth concubine in the future.

The position of the crown princess Lin Yan may be difficult to meddle in, and she can only influence the candidate by influencing the emperor, but the prince's concubine, Lin Yan still has a lot of autonomy. If the Lin family wants to send a woman into the palace, she can arrange it.

The Li family shook their heads with Lin Yan and said, "I have discussed with your uncle, there is already a mother in the palace, and the prince also has the blood of the Lin family, and the Lin family has been rich and worry-free for at least two generations, and there is no need to send a daughter to the palace to seek wealth." ”

Besides, the Lin family has already produced two queens, and if a woman enters the palace, the crown prince will inevitably be a concubine when he ascends the throne, which is too conspicuous.

When the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow, and now it is necessary to be high-profile in order to protect the prince, and when the prince ascends the throne, the Lin family should take the road of low-key hidden power.

However, Li said: "But there is a candidate, and the family hopes that Niangniang can arrange it to be among the candidates for the prince's concubine." ”

Lin Yan raised her head and looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Li said: "Your aunt's granddaughter, the Yang family's Wei Niang." Li Shi paused and continued: "After all, Yang Ping retired from the position of chief soldier for the sake of the Lin family, and his two sons are not as good as him. ”

Lin Yan understands that Yang Ping was born in Weihan, and was selected as his son-in-law by Zeng Laoguo's grandfather because of his own talent, but after all, the Yang family has insufficient foundation and no foundation, and as soon as Yang Ping retreats, if his two sons can't take it, the Yang family is likely to be defeated.

The Lin family wanted the girl of the Yang family to enter the East Palace with him, also to keep the wealth of the Yang family.

Lin Yan nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

After the Li family left the palace, Lin Yan sat on the couch and pondered for a while, and then asked the palace people: "Where is the emperor now?" ”

The palace man replied: "The emperor is in the Qinzheng Palace, discussing matters with several cabinet lords. ”

Lin Yan instructed her: "Let people go to the Qinzheng Palace to ask, the emperor will not return to Changkun Palace at night." ”

said that it was for people to ask, but in fact, it was to invite the emperor back to Changkun Palace - because as long as Lin Yan asked people to ask, the emperor must know that she wanted him to go back.

When the emperor came back in the evening, Lin Yan waited for him to change his clothes, and after dinner, the two sat on the couch together.

Lin Yan leaned on the emperor, holding the hand he put on her stomach, but her eyes were thinking about how to mention the matter of the crown princess to the emperor.

As a result, at this time, the emperor first asked, "Mrs. Tai came to the palace to visit you today?" ”

Lin Yan came back to her senses and hurriedly replied, "Well, I came." ”

The emperor didn't say any more, but instead bent down and put his ear on Lin Yan's stomach to listen to the movements of the child inside.

Lin Yan is nearly five months pregnant, and her belly has swelled slightly, but she was born slim and hidden under her clothes, if she doesn't touch it deliberately, she can't see it at all.

The emperor looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "The imperial doctor said that it will take a while before there will be fetal movement, what can you hear now?" ”

The emperor had no choice but to straighten up, and then asked casually: "The crown prince has been doing a good job recently, and he is also sixteen years old, how about you decide the candidate for the crown princess for him now?" ”

Lin Yan hurriedly let out a curious "oh", turned her head to look at him and asked with a smile, "Who is the emperor's candidate?" ”

The emperor looked down at her and said very seriously: "The second daughter of the Cui family's house in Bohai, the second mother of the Cui family." ”

Lin Yan said "ah" as if she suddenly realized, and then said: "The Bohai Cui family, brave and unparalleled, full of loyalty, it is rare that it has been loyal for generations, and the girl of his family is indeed worthy of the position of the crown princess." ”

The emperor looked at her pretending, snorted, gently scraped her face with his fingers, and said, "Your Lin family also likes the Cui family, and your grandmother is afraid that this is also the case when she enters the palace and tells you." ”

Although Lin Yan knew that she couldn't hide these from the emperor, she couldn't admit this kind of thing, so she couldn't help hugging the emperor and smiled: "The emperor is wronged, the selection of the crown princess is so important, and the Lin family doesn't dare to interfere with the future mother of the country." Grandmother came to the palace, but she just wanted to add a Yang family to the prince's concubine. ”

Although the emperor knew that Lin Yan was lying, he did not expose it, and said: "The candidates for the crown prince and concubine are chosen by you, and you can let whoever you want to go." ”

Compared with the candidate for the crown princess, the candidate for the crown princess and concubine is not so important, as long as the family background is innocent and the character is good. (To be continued.) )
