The Queen Mother sat on the throne, coughed lightly twice, smiled and said, "Let them in." But he didn't mention the meaning of letting the ladies and relatives here avoid it.

Zhao Xiu blinked, looked at Zhang, and felt that they didn't move at all, wasn't it good?

The Zhang family was taken aback because the emperor's eldest son and Gao Zhen suddenly came over, and after reacting, he immediately stood up according to the rules, smiled and saluted the Queen Mother, and wanted to avoid it, but the Queen Mother stopped her: "You don't have to be so polite." We talked well, and they came to say goodbye, and then they left, and it didn't take so much trouble to disturb our interest. ”

Zhang was a little confused, and looked around, although there was no screen in the Xinuan Pavilion, if you really want to avoid it, it is not that there is no place to go. If all the women present are elderly women, it would be fine, and several little girls are all about to say that they are at the age of kissing, and they are looked at by foreign men like this, what does it look like? Isn't the Queen Mother confused?

Second Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting under them, smiled and supported Zhang: "Your old man just sit quietly, the Queen Mother knows in her heart, and there will be no mistakes." As he spoke, he pressed Zhang back into his place.

Zhang was confused, but Zhao Xiu already understood, and couldn't help but be a little funny. Is this going to let the emperor's eldest son and Gao Zhen meet these little girls in the house? See which one they like, choose which one to be their wife?

Among the female dependents present, except for the Zhang family and her ancestors and grandchildren, everyone else seemed to know in their hearts, and none of them proposed to avoid it, obviously they had already prepared. Several ladies cheered up and stared at the entrance of the Xinuan Pavilion with burning eyes. The little girls blushed slightly, and quickly and unobtrusively straightened their clothes and hair, revealing a dignified, reserved, and shy smile, with their heads bowed, but their eyes looking towards the door.

Zhao Xiu held back a smile and lowered his head. I only heard the sound of slight footsteps, and after a while, a palace person lifted the felt curtain, and a gust of cold wind swept in, followed by the emperor's eldest son in an apricot yellow leather brocade robe. Gao Zhen followed.

The eldest son of the emperor is a head shorter than Gao Zhen, but he has a good appearance, bright eyes, and a faint smile on his mouth, and he is a handsome young man.

Almost everyone's eyes were on him, but he was not affected in the slightest, and still smiled and stepped forward to give the Queen Mother a big salute, without glancing to the side out of the corner of his eye.

One of the daughters of the prince and the girl of the Ding family couldn't help but show disappointed looks, while the others were still very calm. After the eldest son of the emperor and Gao Zhen saluted the queen mother, everyone saluted them again.

Zhao Xiu only glanced at the emperor's eldest son, and then looked at Gao Zhen behind him. I haven't seen him for a few days, Gao Zhen's complexion seems to be good, wearing a royal blue brocade jacket, the neckline, cuffs and hem of the clothes show dark brown raw edges, and the waist is still straight, like a green bamboo.

In terms of appearance alone, Gao Zhen is three points better than the crown prince, but he is low-key and old-fashioned in his dress, and even to ask the queen mother for peace, he is also following behind the eldest son of the emperor, and there is nothing outstanding, so most people's attention is not on him, at most he just glanced at a few times, and then turned to look at the eldest son of the emperor.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, Gao Zhen quickly looked at Zhao Xiu, smiled slightly, and blinked his right eye.

Zhao Xiu knew that he was greeting him, so he hurriedly held back a smile and lowered his head again. She is not interested in flirting with the Queen Mother in front of him in such a crowded public place.

Gao Zhen didn't care, with a faint smile on his lips, and he was in a good mood.

Mrs. Zhending Hou and the daughter noticed this, and the former's face changed slightly, and he became a little impatient. The latter is very calm and unmoved.

The eldest son of the emperor came with his cousin to greet the queen mother, but the drunkard did not mean to drink. After saluting and greetings, he is about to retreat. Gao Zhen left with him, and his every move was very polite.

When they left, everyone in the Xinuan Pavilion changed their breath and gasped again, but the voice was slightly louder, they heard it themselves, looked at each other, they were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly pretended not to know, and put on a dignified appearance again.

The two duchesses hurriedly complimented the empress dowager on the eldest son of the emperor and the prince of Guangping, saying that the empress dowager was blessed. The Queen Mother laughed when she heard it. Second Mrs. Jiang was very cooperative and talked about the advantages of the eldest son of the emperor and the prince of Guangping, and won the praise of everyone. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Don't praise them too much. Although they are quite well-behaved, they dare not boast of how extraordinary they are. If you boast again, they will know it, and they may be fluttering. ”

Everyone hurriedly said that the eldest son of the emperor and the prince of Guangping were very humble and polite, and they would not be complacent...... Zhao Xiu's ears were calloused when he heard it, and he knew that these were all clichés. In fact, everyone knows that this is just foreshadowing, and the next thing is the meat.

A palace lady lifted the felt curtain and walked in, and whispered a few words in the queen mother's ear. Everyone was staring at her mouth, thinking that she had come on the orders of the emperor's eldest son? Unexpectedly, she retreated after speaking, but the Queen Mother announced with a smile: "The princess of Fenyang is here, just right, let's all sit and laugh together, it will be more lively." Everyone smiled and said yes, but they were a little disappointed in their hearts.

The eldest son of the emperor has just entered the Xinuan Pavilion, have you seen their beautiful daughter (granddaughter)? Which lady does he like to be the concubine? He didn't seem to say anything to the Queen Mother, and even the palace lady who entered the door came to report the news of the arrival of the Fenyang princess, could it be that today he just let the emperor's eldest son take a look, and there would be no result?

Only Zhao Xiu felt strange in his heart, the eldest son of the emperor and Gao Zhen entered the door, and the palace people reported loudly directly at the door, why did the princess of Fenyang come over, but Gong E wanted to whisper in the queen mother's ear? It's not something that is inconvenient to hear. That palace lady said in the ear of the queen mother...... Is it really just the news that the princess of Fenyang has come?

The felt curtain was lifted again, and the princess of Fenyang really walked in. She saluted the Queen Mother, and all the ladies saluted her again, and then sat down with a smile. The princess of Fenyang sat in the queen mother's hand, and it was another chair moved by the palace people.

After she took her seat, she smiled at Zhang and Zhao Xiu, and then turned to talk to a duchess of the country: "I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so young, it's really enviable." Is this your little daughter? The last time I saw her, she was still an infant, and now she's so old. ”

The Duchess hurriedly replied, it turned out that she and the maiden family of the princess of Fenyang were in-laws, and when it came to kinship, she still had to call the concubine a cousin, but she hadn't seen each other for many years, and the relationship had faded a lot. Unexpectedly, the princess of Fenyang still remembered her and greeted her so cordially, which made the Duchess of the country, whose family has fallen in recent years, very excited.

But the Queen Mother glanced at the princess of Fenyang. The latter was stunned for a moment, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Before I entered the house, I heard you chatting very lively, I don't know what you were talking about?" Then the attention of everyone was brought back to the topic.

Everyone praised the good words of the emperor's eldest son and the prince of Guangping, but the topic gradually turned to the emperor's eldest son. After Mrs. Li praised the emperor's eldest son, the queen mother quickly answered: "You praise him so well, why don't you make him a son-in-law for you?" Do you like it? ”

Mrs. Li paused, reacted quickly, and hurriedly said with a smile: "This is the blessing of the courtier's family, and it is also the blessing of the good girl, I really never dared to think of it, the queen mother is not joking, right?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "How can it be a joke? The mourning family really likes the character of Shanwen, lively and likable, and considerate and sensible, and the mourning family was by the side of the mourning family a few days ago, which couldn't be more intimate. If there is such a caring granddaughter-in-law, the mourning family can laugh out loud in their dreams, and the emperor also feels the same. ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly took her daughter to bow down.

Li Shanwen was still a little dazed, she thought that she was just here to be an escort today, just like Miss Jiang Liu. Why did you choose her to be the eldest princess? Isn't it more promising for the daughters of the two princes' mansions? Even the girl from Ding Shilang's family, because she has a clear background, is both talented and beautiful, and is known as a virtuous name, and she is also more qualified than her. She asked herself why she was not a particularly outstanding character, why was she able to overwhelm everyone and stand out?

Miss Jiang Liu covered her mouth and snickered. She knew this result last night, and the Queen Mother chose Li Shanwen for a long time. The Li family is a civil official, although it is not very top-notch, but its reputation is very good, and it is the in-law of the Jiang family, and the relationship with the Jiang family is very close. Li Shanwen has a beautiful appearance, a pleasant temperament, and is intelligent and pure, which is very suitable for the eldest son of the emperor.

The emperor also agreed, and asked the emperor's eldest son what he meant, but the emperor's eldest son did not object, but just wanted to see her. When Li Shanwen came to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother in the past, every time the eldest son of the emperor came to greet the Queen Mother, she would avoid it, so after the two turned seven years old, they had not seen each other, and they only had the impression of each other when they were children. The eldest son of the emperor was a little worried, she was still as fat as a meat dumpling when she was a child......

The eldest son of the Emperor came in to greet him, and he didn't seem to be looking around, but in fact, he had already seen Li Shanwen, and specially sent Gong E to report to the Queen Mother, not really to say that the princess of Fenyang was here, but to report his opinions and results.

The eldest son of the emperor had no objection.

The choice of the emperor's eldest concubine was thus decided. No one asked the Empress for her opinion. But now that the matter has been decided, when the eldest son of the emperor goes to greet the queen, he will definitely report it. He didn't think the queen would object. The choice of his concubine has been discussed for many years, and in the queen's favorite list, there was originally Li Shanwen's name, but because the family relationship with the Empress Dowager Jiang was too close, he was eliminated by the queen early. Other than this, the queen did not have anything else to dislike about her. And this article must not be listed as a selection condition.

The candidate was decided, and the queen mother took Li Shanwen's hand and said a lot of comforting words, and said that the emperor would send the will today, let their mother and daughter go home and wait for the news, so let the chamberlain send them away.

The rest of the people watched them leave, and the disappointment of the two dukes was overflowing, and they were a little distraught. Their daughters also had obvious expressions of frustration. As for the girl from the Ding family, who also failed to be selected, she and her mother were able to hold on. With the background of their family, the position of the eldest princess of the emperor cannot be chosen, but they can still compete for the crown prince Liangdi, and there may not be no hope of entering the East Palace, it is too early to give up.

After solving the marriage of the emperor's eldest son, the queen mother's eyes turned to Zhang and Zhao Xiu's side again. Mrs. Hou's face was hard to look at. She clutched her sleeve tightly, and tried to get up and say something, but her granddaughter held her back. She glared at her granddaughter anxiously and hatefully, but the latter remained unmoved. Mrs. Zhending Hou was helpless, so she had to stare at Zhao Xiu secretly.

In the past six months, her granddaughter has had a lot of face in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has praised her granddaughter for being dignified and stable several times. If it weren't for the grandson of the Marquis of Jiannan to return to Beijing, I am afraid that the name of the princess of the king of Guangping would have been in the bag of her granddaughter. Why did the girl of the Zhao family have to come back to the capital at this time, ruining her granddaughter's good marriage?! (To be continued.) )
