Chapter 213: Choosing a Concubine (1)
Of course, the crown princess doesn't believe such a statement.
But what can I do if I don't believe it?
When his son is older, he has long been able to take charge on his own, and he is also very assertive. As long as he doesn't want to say something, no matter how tight the question is, he won't say half a word.
The crown princess thought for a moment, and opened her mouth to probe: "Are you still thinking about Ling Jingshu?" ”
As soon as Ling Jingshu's three words came into her ears, a trace of pain quickly flashed in the eyes of the imperial grandson, and she quickly became expressionless: "The mother concubine is too worried." I know who I am and I know what I have to do. I don't put all my thoughts on the love of my children. ”
That's right.
The crown princess breathed a sigh of relief and said gently: "Ah Yao, it's great that you can think like this." Born in the royal family, he is the grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are born noble, and the obligations and responsibilities you have to bear are far greater than those of others, so you must not act willfully......"
Oh, yes!
He was the grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He wants to focus all his energy on the government affairs, he has to deal with the ambitious mother and son of King Yan, and he wants to assist his father to ascend the throne and achieve the eternal emperor's cause......
Where does he still have the qualifications to be willful? Where is the right to ignore a qiē?
If you want to gain some, you always have to lose others.
The world is in a dilemma! No one can do what they want.
Even if he is a noble person, he is no exception!
The imperial grandson listened silently to the chatter of the crown princess, and there were bursts of bitterness in his heart.
“…… By the way, King Yan's family affairs have been decided. In a few days at most, there will be a decree in the palace to give marriage. I heard that the wedding date has been set, just at the end of the year. The crown princess quickly changed the topic: "Queen Xu is very calculating. specially chose such a family business for King Yan. ”
Speaking of the last sentence, the crown princess couldn't help but snort coldly.
The imperial grandson suppressed the chaotic and complicated thoughts, and said lightly: "The thoughts of their mother and son." In addition to the emperor's grandfather, he was kept in the dark, and the government and the opposition knew about it. deliberately chose such a princess Yan, which can be regarded as well-intentioned. ”
Marriage has always been the best way to win over important officials in the imperial court.
As soon as Miss Wang Er married into the Yan Wangfu, the Pingguo Mansion could only be tied to the ship of the Yan King and advance and retreat together.
The crown princess's face also sank, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, your family affairs must not be lost to King Yan." ”
It's not just about taking a breath of air. It is more about the hearts and minds of the people in the East Palace and Yanwangfu, so you can't take it lightly. From this point of view. Ling Jingshu was never qualified to become the princess.
The imperial grandson heard the meaning of the crown princess's words, and the bitterness in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
However, his reason still suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and slowly opened his mouth and said, "What the mother concubine said is true." I have been delayed in choosing a concubine. It really doesn't fit. After the palace promulgated the will of King Yan to give marriage. The concubine took care of my family. ”
This can be regarded as speaking to the heart of the crown princess.
The crown princess's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile without thinking: "Okay, leave these things to me, and I will definitely choose the most suitable and outstanding wife for you." ”
The imperial grandson tugged at the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The crown princess said with great interest: "I won't tell you, your father and I have already discussed the candidate. Although there are many famous ladies in the capital, and their family backgrounds are outstanding and talented enough to match you, they are rare. Su Ying is my niece. She is also your cousin, with a gentle and elegant temperament. and Jiang Rongyue. I also grew up with you since I was a child, with a lively and lovely temperament, and my family background is even more first-class. Your concubine, just choose one of the two of them. ”
"It's your life's work, and you have to pick what you like. You give me a thorough understanding now, which of these two do you prefer? ”
The imperial grandson frowned and said nothing.
Neither of them, he had any ill feelings. Of course, I didn't particularly like it.
It is not only to choose the most "suitable" concubine, but also to choose the one with a better family background that can help consolidate the power of the East Palace......
"Just the cousin of the Jiang family!" When the imperial grandson talked about his marriage, he didn't have any superfluous expressions, just like choosing who to be his personal guard.
The crown princess smiled and frowned slightly: "Ah Yao, Su Ying is your cousin." The Su family is also a scholarly and noble family, why don't you choose Su Ying? ”
From the perspective of the crown princess, of course, she is more partial to her niece.
The imperial grandson looked up: "Didn't the concubine just say that my family affairs can't be lost to King Yan?" Although the Su family is good, after all, they are noble and noble, and they have a good reputation among civil officials. The British duke has a heavy army and is extremely prestigious among the noble generals. If you want to overpower the Pingguo Mansion, of course, it is more suitable to marry the concubine of the British Mansion. ”
Crown Princess: "......"
The crown princess was speechless, but she had to admit that what the imperial grandson said made sense.
"I remember, there are still a few days before the cousin of the Jiang family will be married, and then I will go to the British Mansion with my mother to say goodbye!" The imperial grandson said lightly.
The crown princess finally came back to her senses and nodded with a complicated expression.
"This matter is up to the mother and father to decide!" After the imperial grandson finished speaking, he stood up: "It's not too early, the mother concubine will go to bed and rest first, and the sons will retire." ”
After the imperial grandson left, the crown princess sat on the chair with a gloomy expression and sighed for a long time.
That's it!
No matter how important the mother's family is, it is not as important as the son. Since he wants to marry Miss Jiang, he will do as he likes.
……
Two days later, the palace decreed that King Yan should be married.
This news spread all over the capital in less than half a day.
After Ling Jingyan heard this, she sighed in her heart for a moment, and quickly cheered up again and went to Ling Jingshu's house: "Ashu, I have big news to tell you. Your heart will be happy when you hear this. ”
Ling Jingshu smiled and asked, "Oh? What's the news? ”
"The palace has decreed that King Yan will be married!" Ling Jingyan announced loudly: "The other party is Miss Wang Er of the Pingguo Mansion. I heard that the wedding is coming at the end of the year! ”
Ling Jingshu's reaction was rather cold: "Oh, I know. ”
Ling Jingyan was a little dissatisfied: "Why did you react so blandly?" King Yan is about to get married and marry a wife, and he will not come to harass you again in the future. ”
Ling Jingshu smiled faintly: "Have you forgotten my strange illness?" Even if King Yan doesn't marry a wife, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Ling Jingyan secretly regretted her gaffe.
Knowing that Ling Jingshu was suffering from a strange illness, she could neither nor wanted to get close to any man. When she mentioned this, she undoubtedly poked at Ling Jingshu's scars.
Ling Jingyan coughed and quickly opened the topic: "It's boring to be bored in the house all day." Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony of Miss Jiang Er of the British Mansion. The two of us went back with my sister-in-law to congratulate each other. ”
Jiang Rongyue's ceremony, Jiang will definitely go.
Ling Jingshu thought for a while and smiled: "It's okay, then go out for a walk." (To be continued.) )
