Chapter 520: Relatives
"Judging from the concubines, the second lady of the Dong'an Hou Mansion is more suitable for the character of the eighth prince!" The queen decided.
The biological mother of the eighth prince is not high, and he himself is a peaceful and cowardly person, so it is feasible for these two women of the right age to marry him.
From the perspective of status, although the Dong'an Hou Mansion only has the second daughter's age, its status is still higher than that of the Shilang Mansion.
Since the Eighth Prince himself does not have a threat to the future struggle for the throne, Empress Qiao has her own considerations, and matching the Eighth Prince with a woman with a better status and a Yue family that can be relied on may be a great help for her to support her adopted son in the future.
Xu Ruixiang glanced at her lightly, did not show any suspicious expression, and nodded: "Just follow the queen's proposal!" ”
The eighth prince proposed to withdraw from the marriage, although he was so angry, but what kind of person is he, is the emperor, the ruler of this dynasty, the trick played by the Jiu'er who was spoiled by himself, where did he escape his eyes, and he can be regarded as knowing that Ba'er was actually calculated by his own brother, and giving him a proper high match can be regarded as his compensation for Ba'er!
As for that stinky boy who always causes trouble, hmph, he will definitely give him some color to see, otherwise, he really thinks he can spoil him to the sky!
"Yes, the concubine will start to let people do it after the New Year!" Seeing that Xu Ruixiang didn't see her own selfishness, the queen suddenly felt a lot more at ease, and continued a little bolder, "On the side of the Nine Emperor Princes, the concubines have also spent a lot of effort to pick and choose. Finally, a few more suitable candidates have been prepared! ”
Empress Qiao said that it was more suitable, not suitable, it can be seen that she still can't guess the emperor's heart, and she doesn't know what kind of family background he wants to marry Xu Jingxuan in his heart.
"Hmmm! Tell me about it! Xu Ruixiang seemed to be casual, and he didn't seem to care very much, as if Xu Jingxuan's marriage was actually the same as that of the Eighth Prince.
Of course, Queen Qiao, who has accompanied Xu Ruixiang for almost 30 years, does not dare to think so arrogantly.
Back then, it was precisely because of her arrogance and carelessness that she was almost pulled off the throne of the queen by Huyan Yu'er, who seemed to have no scheming, but coaxed the emperor around!
Therefore. Even the biggest opponent, Huyan Yu'er, has already died. But she still won't take it lightly and underestimate the influence she left behind, which caused the emperor to treat Xu Jingxuan differently.
"The sisters gave the concubine a lot of advice, and the concubine thought about it. I think it's these four girls who are worthy of the Nine Emperor Princes! "When Queen Qiao said. Don't forget to pull the rest of the concubines into the water. The meaning is obvious, the candidate was proposed by everyone, not selected by her with selfish intentions. "Wu Ge's eldest daughter is sixteen this year, she is beautiful and wise, quiet and dignified, and her temperament is very similar to the virtuous Mrs. Wu, although it was because of a minor illness a few years ago that delayed the age of saying goodbye, but now she is in good health and can go out of the house at any time; Hu Yanmin, the third daughter of the Marquis of Changxin, is fourteen this year, dignified and generous, the most beautiful and stable of the sisters in the house, and has the affection of cousins and sisters with the Nine Emperors; Qiao Xin, the eldest granddaughter of the prime minister's family and the niece of the concubine, is fifteen this year, with a gentle temperament like water, and she is also of the right age; There is also the fourth daughter of the Zhenguo family, Yang Wan'er, the niece of Concubine De's sister, who is fourteen this year, innocent, and is also the right age! ”
After talking about these four candidates, the queen quietly observed for a while, and seeing that Xu Ruixiang did not have any dissatisfied expression, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and paused and asked, "What does the emperor think?" ”
"Why aren't there any people from the Protector's Mansion?" Xu Ruixiang asked as if unintentionally.
But I was quite satisfied in my heart, well, it seems that the queen is still very good at judging the situation and will not give unpleasant advice.
"The only people of the right age in the Protectorate Mansion are Meng Guanshuang, the lord of Huanzhu County, and Meng Guanyue, the second lady. Meng Guanyue has already married the sixth prince, as for returning the lord of Zhu County...... the queen paused, dragging a long tail note, and stopped talking with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"What's wrong with her?" Xu Ruixiang roughly guessed what the queen would say, but he still pretended to be fair and asked.
"Although Meng Guanshuang is the identity of the eldest daughter, and the emperor has personally named the county lord, but after all, she has been lost outside for more than ten years, although her temperament is not bad, but her temperament is always too casual and casual, and there are rumors before that she is disrespectful to the Bai family's long house and three rooms, including the old man Bai and the old lady Bai, such a woman, even if her status is noble now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to change her past character! Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, the concubines do not recommend the Nine Emperor Princes to marry such an uncertain woman! ”
Of course, this is only part of the reason, the most important thing is naturally for the third prince Xu Jingyu who she raised.
If Meng Guanshuang is told to Xu Jingxuan, then Xu Jingjie and him will have another layer of in-law relationship.
Now, the two of them are already the most powerful sons and the most favored sons in the eyes of the emperor.
"Well, that makes sense!" Xu Ruixiang nodded with satisfaction.
He actually doesn't care about Meng Guanshuang's character, what he cares about is his favorite son, if that kid marries Meng Guanshuang as he wishes, he dares to guarantee that the stinky boy will definitely take his words as wind in his ears.
Empress Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, of course, she was complacent and thought that her selfishness was not suspected by the emperor because she had found a high-sounding reason.
"Then the emperor thinks that among these four women, who is the most suitable for marriage to the Nine Emperor Princes?" Empress Qiao immediately asked while the iron was hot.
It's no wonder she's in a hurry, it's really that the concubines in the palace have been moistened with the skin on their faces recently, and they all have the intention of capturing the emperor's heart, and the emperor seems to like the concubines to fight fiercely for him, and the rain and dew are very good at taking care of the women in the harem, so that she, the queen who pretends to be generous and virtuous, gets less Yuze, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to blow the wind on the pillow.
Finally, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, when the two were close, she naturally wanted to take this matter down.
Xu Ruixiang touched his chin and thought about it, and then looked at Jiu'er, who was drinking happily with Xu Jingyu, and was inexplicably very excited: Hmph! Stinky boy, I don't know that Daddy is about to sell you!
"Who does the queen think is the best fit?"
However, the emperor's natural suspicion still made him decide to test Empress Qiao first, after all, there are two candidates here that are related to her and Concubine De.
Empress Qiao was stunned, she didn't expect the emperor to play Tai Chi, and pushed the decision to her side again. (To be continued......)
