Xiao Moheng was stunned for a moment, he never expected his father to ask such a question, but in an instant he felt that this was an opportunity, so he got up and replied: "Thank you for your understanding, there are fewer people in the Son's Mansion, but it is up to my father to decide." ”

Emperor Xiao nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at his concubines, and asked, "Do you know what other unmarried women of the right age are in the capital?" ”

When this topic was mentioned, the concubines couldn't keep their mouths shut, which was also something that the women of the harem talked about.

However, Xiao Moxuan and Xiao Mocheng did mention a few thoughts, so that they could let someone from their side marry into the Lingwang Mansion, it was always a good idea to have advantages and disadvantages.

Xiao Mo glanced at Zhang Guifei without a trace, Zhang Guifei understood, so she got up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows a good woman, who can be a good match for King Ling." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Emperor Xiao looked at her with interest.

"The concubine has a niece, sixteen years old, beautiful and refined, and her personality is also well-behaved and cute, which is perfect for the seventh prince." Zhang Guifei said with a smile, although she did not have the character of Concubine Su, she was also charming when she smiled.

Before Emperor Xiao could answer, Concubine Li Shufei also stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the daughter of Master Fu is also very suitable, the concubine heard that this girl is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the seventh prince was quite a true biography of Concubine Yu back then, and she must also like such a woman." ”

Emperor Xiao listened to the words of the two of them, pondered slightly, and probably understood in his heart.

Xiao Mojiu was a little unhappy, Concubine Li Shufei's daughter married Pei, so she naturally wanted to help Pei's cronies speak.

Xie Yuanxiu sat next to Xiao Moheng, listening to the ladies in the palace to her husband without moving, although there was a smile on her face, the bitterness in her heart was only known to herself, for so many years, Xiao Moheng was the only woman by her side, and she should be content, but the angry thing was that she had never given birth to a son and a half daughter, so she was willing to add some more people to the house, and no matter how she could not delay his future because of her selfishness.

It's just that at this time, Yan Guiren, who rarely answered, stood up, she first blessed Emperor Xiao, and then said: "Your Majesty, although the women in the capital are all good, it's just that the seventh prince wants to come and have a quiet temperament, and the concubine thinks that she should find a woman who is a general, but it is better to complement his temperament." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Yan Guiren has always said not much in the palace, let alone provoked any right and wrong, and everyone was surprised when she opened her mouth.

Emperor Xiao knew that Yan Guiren was well-behaved and quiet, but he was very willing to listen to her recommendation, so he asked softly: "Then do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" ”

Yan Guiren said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't dare to hide it from His Majesty, the wife of General Shishi of Xuzhou is the distant cousin of the concubine, she gave birth to two daughters, both of whom are not married, she has always entrusted the concubine to her daughter to tell her daughter that the family is good, no, as soon as Your Majesty asked, the concubine remembered..."

Xiao Moxuan's heart sank, Shi Bing is a soldier assassin, he has never interfered in the affairs of the court for so many years, if he is taken away by Xiao Moheng, it will be unfavorable to himself, so he hurriedly said: "Father, the son thinks that the seventh brother is elegant and broad, and the daughter of General Shi... I'm afraid it's not quite suitable, right? ”

Shi Bing is not a high-ranking scholar, and his daughter marries the prince, so naturally it is not the right family.

Everyone also heard the meaning of the words of the six princes, but it was inconvenient to speak, so it was not easy to make a sound, but Yan Guiren and the eighth prince did not look good on their faces.

Seeing this, Emperor Xiao already understood the stakes in his heart, thinking that this matter had to be carefully considered, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, the candidates recommended by the concubines, I will carefully consider them, everyone should eat something first!" Emperor Xiao said that he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes, and Xu Huaiyuan next to him hurriedly picked up a few fresh dishes and placed them in Emperor Xiao's bowl.

Emperor Xiao looked at his sons while eating, and once again remembered the controversy in the court about the establishment of the prince in today's court, and had a headache, just when he was frowning for a moment, he suddenly noticed the eighth prince Xiao Moxuan, and saw that he was drinking one by one, so he asked out loud: "Xu'er, aren't you in bad health, why did you drink so much wine today?" ”

Xiao Moxuan was a little stunned, when did his father see him in his eyes? Hurriedly put down the wine glass, got up and replied: "Back to my father, my son's body has improved a lot after the conditioning of Jiang Yinu, she said that Erchen's body is cold, and it is quite helpful to drink some strong wine." ”

"Oh, that's fine, it's okay to let her go to your house more often, if she can cure your body, my father will definitely reward her." Emperor Xiao suddenly felt that he didn't care much about him on weekdays, and he owed a lot to this son.

Xiao Moxuan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you, Father!" Although he is usually dull, he is also happy with his father's sudden care.

Yan Guiren also got up, leaned over and said, "Thank you for taking care of Xuan'er!" ”

"Sit down! He is also my son, and of course I care about him. Emperor Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes." Yan Guiren replied meekly.

Emperor Xiao noticed Xiao Moxuan's grateful expression, and couldn't help but think in his heart, his son has never liked to talk, but he seems to be a lot of fun today, he won't like that medicine girl, right?

So he asked casually: "Xu'er, you are not in good health, and it is also because no one has been taking care of you in the house," Xiao Moxuan was a little embarrassed by him, and Emperor Xiao continued: "Father and Emperor see that Jiang Yi's daughter is also very attentive to you, so I ordered her to take care of you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue for some people, Xiao Mocheng and Xiao Moheng stopped breathing for a while, their heartbeats accelerated, and they didn't know why for a while, both of them were anxious, and they thought in their hearts that they had to quickly let Emperor Xiao dispel this idea.

Xiao Moxuan was stunned, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Xiao Moxuan was also unhappy, he had always been suspicious of Jiang Mei, suspecting that she knew the mystery of the crown princess's death, and if she was asked to marry Xiao Moxuan, it would be troublesome.

But the three of them couldn't find a reason to convince Emperor Xiao for a while, and obviously Xiao Mocheng was the most anxious one, he decided to let it go, he looked nervous at Concubine Su, and snorted at Emperor Xiao, Concubine Su was a little suspicious, but she was smart after all.

The glamorous Concubine Su first poured a glass of wine for Emperor Xiao, and said gently: "Your Majesty, the concubine feels that this move is inappropriate. ”

"Oh? Why did Aifei think this? Emperor Xiao was a little puzzled, holding her hand and asking.

"From the concubine's point of view, Jiang Mei is just a woman of unknown origin, how can she be worthy of His Royal Highness the Emperor? Since she is willing to treat the Eighth Prince, let her be cured first! What Concubine Su said was a little ugly, but it was also a fact, Concubine Su looked at Xiao Mocheng from time to time when she said this, as if she was also saying it to him.

Xiao Mocheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, but lowered his head and drank the stuffy wine.

"Concubine Ai is reasonable, but I was negligent." Emperor Xiao nodded, and then comforted Xiao Moxuan: "Xuan'er, you take care of your body wholeheartedly, and your father will make decisions for you in other matters." ”

Xiao Moxuan didn't mind, and replied calmly: "Son-in-law, thank your father Emperor Longen!" ”

Then everyone diverted the topic and talked about some interesting things from the past. Princess Xiao Yuyu saw that Emperor Xiao was a little tired, so she stepped forward to rub his shoulders, which made Emperor Xiao very fond, and the whole banquet was also happy.

After the banquet was dispersed, Xiao Moheng took Xie Yuanxiu back to the house, and the carriage went all the way to the east, straight to the Lingwang Mansion, and along the way, Xie Yuanxiu leaned tightly in Xiao Moheng's arms.

"What's wrong with you?" Mo Heng said with concern,

"Not much, just thinking that there will be other women in His Highness's arms, I feel a little jealous, so I want to take advantage of the present in your arms." Xie Yuanxiu replied with disgust, her voice was delicate and lovable.

It's a pity that her husband is not thinking of her at the moment.

Xiao Moheng just smiled lightly when he heard this, and continued to hold her, but the figure of another person floated in his mind, it was really dangerous just now, fortunately, Xiao Mocheng was in a hurry to let Concubine Su solve it, but Xiao Mocheng should also have a headache now, but his mother's level was not easy.

At the same time, Xu Huaiyuan helped Emperor Xiao back to the palace, and Emperor Xiao was about to enter the apse to rest, but he saw a lot of folds piled up on the desk in the palace.

Xu Huaiyuan followed Emperor Xiao's gaze, turned around and scolded the chamberlain next to him: "Little rabbit cubs, why are there so many folds piled up here, I don't know if the Holy Lord is going to rest, it's not too late to send it tomorrow." ”

The inner servant trembled, and hurriedly picked up the fold and prepared to leave, but it was precisely because of the tension of his hands and feet, accidentally, a stack of folds fell down, Emperor Xiao glanced at it, and saw a letter signed by Shi Bing, Xu Huaiyuan has been waiting on the holy side for many years, this bit of eyesight is still there, and he immediately picked up the fold and handed it to Emperor Xiao.

Emperor Xiao glanced at the fold, and then threw it to the chamberlain, "Just let the fold go there!" As he spoke, he walked towards the apse.

Shi Bing's recital mentioned the matter of Xuzhou's military salary, and Emperor Xiao already had a plan in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Xiao asked the chamberlain to convey a will to the three provinces, that is, to canonize Shi Bing's daughter Shi Qingzao as the side concubine of Xiao Moheng, the king of Ling. After the review of the three provinces, the ancestral hall chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage.
