Chapter 530: The Prince Chooses a Concubine
After returning to the palace, Cheng Wei was a little entangled, and he didn't know whether to tell He Shu the results of the investigation, so he discussed with Cheng Che.
"Let's wait until Heshu is well." Cheng Che said.
"Hmm. Second brother, how could Rong Xin listen to my conversation with the Zeng family last night? Cheng Wei asked the doubts in his heart.
With the delicacy of the second brother, this kind of mistake should not occur.
Cheng Che smiled faintly: "Because I think he should listen to it." ”
Although he didn't know the truth at the time, a series of investigations were enough to make him suspect that Zeng was not innocent in Han Yuzhu's case. And more than ten years have passed, whether it is Hua Guifei or the people of Mu Enbo Mansion, they have all returned to dust, and it is almost impossible to get substantial evidence.
Moreover, the Zeng family is the princess of King Jing, and even if there is evidence for some things, it is impossible to make them public for the sake of royal face. And for a noble lady like Zeng, the neglect of her husband and the estrangement of her children are more painful than letting her pay for her life.
Cheng Wei quickly understood what Cheng Che meant, leaned into his arms and sighed, and changed the topic: "Second brother, I suspect that there is a resentful spirit of Fahrenheit in Changchun Palace, and I want to explore it." ”
"Here you go." Cheng Che pulled Cheng Wei to the dressing mirror, complaining with pity, "Look at your face, can you bother anymore?" ”
The woman in the mirror is still beautiful, but her lips are pale, and she has lost her former freshness.
She quickly compromised: "What the second brother said is, let's talk about it when I have adjusted Heshu's body." ”
In addition to recuperating Heshu's body, she has more important things to do, which is to lift the second brother's blood curse, and the more she delves in, the more she discovers the difficulties.
"Second brother, it's almost the New Year." Lying on the bed, Cheng Wei asked casually.
"Hmm."
"When spring begins, Brother Lin and Sister Zhao should get married, let's go to their wedding together."
"Of course. Maybe they will be able to hold the doll the year after tomorrow, and we will go together at that time. ”
Cheng Wei turned over and hugged Cheng Che's waist, and whispered: "Yes, every year in the future, we will go out of the palace together......"
Cheng Che lowered his head and found that the person in his arms had fallen asleep, his heart was sour, and he gently kissed her on the cheek.
I hope God favors them so that they can have every year.
In the blink of an eye, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, whether it is inside or outside the palace, everywhere is full of spring.
Cheng Wei failed to attend the wedding of Zhao Qingkong and Lin Lang.
For no other reason, the crown princess is pregnant.
There is no need to mention the joy of several masters in the palace, and more people with beautiful women in their families are beginning to move.
Emperor Changqing has received euphemistic or direct hints from many courtiers in the past few days: the crown princess is pregnant, the East Palace is empty, and it is time to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu even made it clear that according to the rules, after the princess was selected, the two Liangdi candidates should be decided, and three months after the prince's wedding, Liangdi would enter the palace to serve the prince, and now the East Palace has not entered for a long time, which violates the ancestral system.
Emperor Changqing felt that the courtiers' proposal was also reasonable, so he went to Cining Palace to discuss with the Queen Mother.
Since the news of the happy news of the crown princess, there are also many wives who have led their daughters or granddaughters to ask to see the queen mother, and the queen mother has also been pondering this matter in the past few days.
"The crown princess is pregnant, and there is no one in the East Palace who is waiting for Jing'er, so it's time to consider choosing some people to come in."
Emperor Changqing nodded: "I think so too." The queen mother thinks that she should choose a concubine to fill the East Palace according to the proper procedure, or choose a few agreeable ones first? ”
The mourning family looked at it coldly, except for the crown princess, Jing'er never looked at the palace maids in the East Palace, and if he chose people with great fanfare, he might arouse his disgust. Why don't you invite some ladies and girls into the palace in the name of appreciating flowers, and then ask Jing'er to come over and take a look for yourself. ”
"It's a good idea, just according to the queen mother."
The news that the Queen Mother was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet soon spread, and the discerning people knew that this was going to choose someone for the prince.
The prince is handsome and unparalleled, both civil and military, and has an incomparably noble identity, with such a man, no daughter's daughter will be wronged. All of a sudden, the famous embroidery village cloth workshops in the capital were lively, and those top embroidery girls were invited to various mansions.
Naturally, this movement was not concealed. In fact, no one in the palace deliberately concealed it.
The dignified prince, the prince of a country, and the future emperor, is it possible that only the crown princess is guarded? This is something that no one has ever thought about, except for Cheng Wei.
When he heard the news, Cheng Wei was eating, and he ate an extra steamed bun with a black face, and then vomited wildly.
Huan Yan and Thrush served the master with tea, poured water, handed the handkerchief, and Cheng Che walked in at this time.
As soon as he saw Cheng Che come in, Cheng Wei wiped his mouth, waved his hand to let the waiter retreat, and then glared at him fiercely, and said weakly: "How can the second brother have time to come over?" Shouldn't you hurry up and see if there is a good little lady? ”
Cheng Che sat down beside her, reached out and patted her back: "Is it better?" I knew you were uncomfortable hearing the news, so you came here. ”
Cheng Wei twisted and struggled, depressed.
"Are you mad at me?"
Cheng Wei rolled his eyes with a pair of big eyes: "It's strange if you're not angry." Second brother, let me make it clear, I won't accept you to sleep with other women if I kill me. There are some things that I can compromise on, and some things that I will never compromise. ”
She didn't want to enter the palace, but she still entered in order to be with her second brother, but this doesn't mean that she can accept sharing her second brother with other women.
This is her man, from the hair to the tips of the toes, everything belongs to hers.
What the world thinks is righteous, should women swallow endless grievances and pain?
She doesn't care about others, at least she can't.
Seeing Cheng Wei's puffing appearance, Cheng Che smiled, stretched out his finger and poked her bulging cheeks, raised his hands and said, "I promise, I only sleep Weiwei alone in this life, my princess should be satisfied, right?" ”
When Cheng Che said this, Cheng Wei suddenly felt a little hot on his face, and glanced at him and said, "Are you going to go to the flower viewing banquet?" ”
"I'm still going to go." Cheng Che said with a smile.
On the day of the flower feast, the sun was shining, the willows were green and the flowers were red, and it was a good weather for a small gathering.
The Queen Mother considered everything she could, and only invited a dozen ladies and daughters to the banquet.
Under careful selection, more than a dozen girls are the top figures among the nobles in the capital regardless of their origin, appearance, words and deeds, the queen mother looked at it coldly, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and whispered to the palace maid: "Go and invite the prince over." ”
After a while, the chamberlain sang loudly: "The prince has arrived-"
The scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes chased after the young man who walked by.
The upright and pine-like posture and handsome and gentle appearance made the girls quietly blush, and they only dared to look secretly out of the corner of their eyes, lest they feel that they had lost their dignity.
"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother."
The Queen Mother was very pleased to see that Cheng Che was dressed appropriately and behaved politely, so she hurriedly asked him to sit down beside her, and said: "The mourning family likes to be lively when they are old, what will you girls do, just show it to the mourning family to relieve their boredom."
