The day Zhang Wanru added makeup happened to be the day of the primary election in the palace.

Of course, the so-called primary election does not have to be seen by the emperor face-to-face, and when the emperor personally watches the selection, it will have to be canonized half a month later.

But the list after the primary election will be sent to the emperor at the first moment, and the appearance, character, origin and other circumstances of each show girl are recorded in detail.

Generally speaking, in this batch of lists after the primary election, the emperor will not only select his own concubines to supplement the harem, but also select some people with better family backgrounds from these selected personnel to assign to some princes or royal children of appropriate age.

When the chamberlain handed over the list of people who had passed the primary election to the emperor, the six princes happened to be present.

The six princes have already reached the age of marriage, but they have not yet married the princess, and the emperor has the intention to choose a suitable woman as the princess for him among the show girls in this world, so he opened Chrysostom at that time and asked the six princes to see if there was anything he liked in that list.

The marriage of the prince is generally decided by the queen who is the lord of the middle palace, and the emperor not only personally inquired and let the six princes choose the favorite woman as the princess from the show girl first, such a favor can be regarded as the first among the princes.

Even the candidate for the crown princess did not ask the prince's opinion in advance, and it is conceivable that the weight of these six princes in the emperor's heart is really completely different.

But the grace of God is the grace of God, but the Six Emperors are also a smart and measured person, where can he really be so bold to jump in front of his father and choose people from among the show girls?

The Six Princes didn't even pick up the list. Instead, the marriage is all decided by the father and the queen mother.

Seeing this, the emperor was even more happy, and then asked again as if jokingly: "Sixth." You're such a big person, don't you really have a favorite woman in your heart? ”

This time the emperor's question was of course completely different from the previous one that asked the six princes to pick people from the list of girls in the preliminary draft, so the six princes naturally had to answer truthfully.

The father asked, and the son did not dare to deceive. Erchen does have a favorite person now, but she is afraid that she does not have a good impression of Erchen for the time being. ”

The sixth prince is extremely intelligent, and it is appropriate to say his true words in front of the emperor.

And the benefits brought to the six princes by such sincere words are naturally to win the trust and love of the emperor even more, after all, except for the monarchs and ministers. They also carry the identity of father and son on their backs. As a lonely emperor, of course, what he hopes most is to have someone close to him to tell the most intimate truth.

Sure enough, hearing the words of the six princes, the emperor not only felt that it was inappropriate. On the contrary, he was very interested and smiled with concern: "Oh, there is such a thing? What woman is so powerful that she doesn't even care about my emperor? ”

At this time, the emperor was more like a father, and he went to a lot of emperors' shelves. A little more affection and casualness.

The six princes saw this. After a slight pause, his usual cold face did not hesitate: "Back to my father, the person I like is the eldest daughter of the Han family." ”

"You're talking about Han Jiangxue?" Hearing this answer, the smile on the emperor's face couldn't help but retreat, and his tone became a little lighter.

The sixth prince was not surprised by the emperor's reaction, nor did he hesitate, but replied very sincerely: "Yes, father! ”

"When did you have a relationship with the Han family?" The emperor glanced at the six princes, and his expression was not clear. Just asked so lightly, I don't know what was going on in my mind.

"Erchen has been to the Han family with the prince a few times before. Later, he was ordered by the prince to go to the Han family a few times to spread the word, so he had a few encounters with the Han family's daughter. The six princes answered truthfully, and their attitude towards the emperor was consistent, giving people a feeling of extreme sincerity.

The emperor nodded slightly, and then said, "Since you said that you like this girl, then you should tell me what attracts you to this woman?" ”

This kind of question can be regarded as the first time, but the sixth prince is still calm, and replied as if discussing business with the emperor in the past: "Erchen thinks that the daughter of the Han family is smart and straightforward, different from the daughter of the ordinary boudoir, and has her own way of doing things, although she often runs counter to the world, but she has a unique spirit. ”

"Looks like you're not joking with me." The emperor said with a smile: "I also think that you are not far from ten, the eldest daughter of the Han family is indeed very different, no wonder even my emperor is inevitably moved." It's just ......"

At this point, the emperor paused, and then frowned and said, "It's a pity that her surname is Han!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, even if Han Jiangxue was good, it was useless, he never thought of choosing the daughter of the Han family into the palace or giving it to any of his sons, confusing the bloodline of the royal family!

"Her surname is indeed Han, but it is precisely because of this that Erchen will look at her differently." The sixth prince was not worried about angering his father at all, and calmly faced such a sentence.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The emperor suddenly became interested, and it was obvious that his son had something to say.

The sixth prince replied respectfully: "Although the sons and daughters do have some appreciation for the Han family's daughters, this is not the main reason. Erchen thinks that the Han family can actually be regarded as a strong outsider now, the head of the family, Han Feng, is not intelligent enough to be afraid, and his son Han Jing is brave and brave but lacks strategy. ”

"I understand what the emperor meant." The emperor couldn't help but smile and asked, "But if that's the case, I can directly let people get rid of this Han Jiangxue, isn't it simpler and more thorough than making her the daughter-in-law of the Dongming Emperor?" ”

Hearing this, the sixth prince shook his head and said, "The son said bluntly, and asked my father to forgive me." At this moment, if you clearly get rid of the Han girl, not only will it be difficult to block the world, but it will also be difficult for the old emperor to explain. Second, if you act in secret, it is estimated that it is not so easy, otherwise, the first few times you will not lose your hands and gain nothing. Therefore, Erchen thought that it was better to use other methods for the Han family's daughter. ”

The sixth prince directly mentioned the assassination of Han Jiangxue in secret clothes, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was a little strange for a while.

This kind of thing is not a public matter, and the fact that the sixth prince can mention it in front of the emperor without hurry naturally shows that he already knows the inside story. In this regard, the emperor is different from the six princes, but others don't know about this.

Therefore, the emperor's silence was not because the sixth prince knew about the assassination of Han Jiangxue in secret clothes, but because he was angry that he had let this woman get out safely several times in a row!

"Do you know that in this draft, I obviously raised the age limit by one year, but I didn't order a Han girl at all?" After a while, the emperor spoke up again, but he didn't really listen to the answer of the sixth prince, but continued: "Because it is impossible for such a woman to be subdued, I naturally will not find such trouble and invite a scourge into the palace!" Didn't the emperor still think that a woman like Han Jiangxue would really be able to obey her father at home and marry her husband? ”

At such a time, it naturally meant that the emperor's temper was very bad, but the six princes still did not avoid it as if they hadn't seen it, and insisted on their opinions and said: "Erchen thinks that there are no absolutes in the world. ”

Hearing this, the anger in the emperor's heart intensified inexplicably, and he stared at the six princes in front of him and said coldly: "But you said it yourself before, she doesn't have any thoughts about you!" ”

"Father, that's only temporary, after all, the sons and her are only a few sides in total." It was naturally impossible for the six princes not to understand the emperor's attitude, but unexpectedly, they still insisted on their own opinions.

This made the emperor also very surprised, and the expression on his face was even more cold and frightening: "Qing'er, don't tell your father that you have to marry this girl!" ”

"Erchen naturally doesn't mean this, although the emperor has a crush on the Han family's daughter, it is absolutely impossible to lose proportion for a woman. In the end, of course, it is up to the father to decide who the son marries, and the father is loving, and the person he chooses in the future will naturally be the person his father thinks is the best. It's just that Erchen thinks that in the current situation, it is most appropriate for Erchen to marry her as a concubine, because Erchen is confident that she can marry her husband! ”

The sixth prince looked directly at the emperor, and his eyes flashed with unparalleled confidence and sharpness: "Erchen really wants to solve problems for his father, if there is anything inappropriate in his words, please ask his father to forgive him." ”

Seeing such a sixth prince, the emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face softened.

He nodded, and said after a while: "Qing'er's words are not completely unworkable, but this matter is a bit involved, and I have to think about it." ”

"Yes, everything is according to my father's words!" Of course, the sixth prince would not chase after this matter anymore, and his expression was calm and calm, as if the matter he was talking about just now was not a personal matter, but something ordinary and official.

Such an attitude made the emperor even more satisfied, and after nodding secretly, he asked about the prince's recent situation.

When the six princes heard this, they quickly told the emperor about some of the prince's recent movements, ranging from the prince's frequent contacts with important ministers in the court, to the inner courtyard of the East Palace who has won the prince's heart the most.

After listening to the six princes' confessions, the emperor's face was not very good: "The prince has been a lot smarter these days, and he has actually walked around with a think tank like Li Jin in private!" I told Li Jin that the prince asked him to do whatever he wanted, but I wanted to see what tricks the prince wanted to come up with this time! (To be continued......)
