The banquet in the main hall has not been removed, but many people have already left the table, everyone knows that after the banquet in the front hall of the Lu Dao, the saint will enter the main hall of the harem to meet the noblewomen of the most faceable top wealthy families in the empire, and this is also a recognized weather vane, no matter how many times I have seen the saint on the occasion of entering the palace on weekdays, it is also different from this time.

With such a large number of noble ladies gathered, everyone could see clearly who the Holy Lord was affectionate to and who was cold, and it was also worth discussing privately how the Holy Dependents were.

It's like this once a year, and at this time, no one has moved a place.

Zhou Baolu just walked back and sat down, and before he finished half a cup of tea, a eunuch came in and sang: The emperor has arrived!

Everyone stood up one after another, and the young and young all stepped back, only two or three aunts and grandmothers of the previous generation such as Jinghe eldest princess, and seven or eight aunts and princesses of this generation such as the princess of the palace and the eldest princess of Pingning stood in front.

The emperor did not bring the prince with him, only the commander Shen Rongzhong followed behind, the emperor was full of smiles, and after the women saw the driver, he said very gently: "It is rare for a family to get together in a year, and there is no need for your family to be formal." ”

asked Jing and the eldest princess how she was doing, Jing and the eldest princess replied with a smile, and seemed to have inadvertently taken a step sideways, and the emperor's eyes naturally fell on Zhou Baolu behind the eldest princess, and the emperor smiled and said, "This is my aunt's granddaughter?" Looking at it, it doesn't look like an aunt, but a little like the Hou Shizi of Wu'an. ”

Everyone was immediately awe-inspiring, there was no one present who was not a human spirit, this sentence sounded ordinary, but it meant a lot, the saint just saw Zhou Baolu at first glance, and he could break Zhou Baolu's mother clan in one bite, naturally no one ignored this information.

The saint is choosing concubines for the three princes, it seems that it is not an overnight thing, looking at today's words of the saint, you can know that the scope of the selection of concubines is obviously not small, not just fifteen-year-old girls, Zhou Baolu is only thirteen this year, and the saint has been clear about her when he said it casually, and ......

Like the Hou Shizi of Wu'an?

That's an interesting statement.

Is it because she is the niece of the Hou Shizi of Wu'an that she is valued by the saint, not the eldest daughter of the prince of Zhenguo in the eldest princess's mansion?

There are many thoughts going on in everyone's mind.

However, the eldest princess Jinghe has a lot of love for the two families in her heart, no matter what the reason, Zhou Baolu's surname is Zhou after all, so it is enough.

She smiled and said, "As the saying goes, Uncle Xiao, nephew, I want to come here This niece is also similar." ”

Some people bow their heads and pout, they are too good at climbing along the pole.

Zhou Baolu only glanced at the emperor and bowed his head politely, with a smile on his face, but did not speak.

The Emperor smiled again: "Isn't it about the same age as my daughters?" My aunt came into the palace to talk to a few concubines, and she also brought her children to play with the princesses. ”

The eldest princess Jinghe was busy obeying the order, and the self-restraint that had been cultivated for decades could not stop the joy on her face.

After saying these words, the emperor talked to other elders' aunts and grandmothers, and in the next generation, the most faceable is still the eldest princess of Pingning.

The emperor didn't stay for long, but he just said something to the dozen or so most dignified ladies standing in front of him, as for the little girl, except for Zhou Baolu, only Xiao Junjun, the daughter of the eldest princess of Pingtai, and the granddaughter of the eldest princess Jingcheng were mentioned by the saint.

The emperor took Shen Rongzhong and left.

The emperor walked for a while before he said, "Is this little girl that the boy went to see?" ”

"Yes!" Commander Shen Rongzhong replied respectfully behind him.

The emperor pondered again, thinking back to Zhou Baolu's small round face and big eyes: "It looks like a blessing." ”

Commander Shen Rongzhong was silent.

The emperor didn't care, as if talking to himself, as if he was saying to him: "Small is a little small, but it doesn't matter much, but I don't know what the character of Lu Dao is." ”

Then he stopped and asked, "Did you sneak into someone's boudoir?" The weapon of the country, you also give it to the children to mess around! ”

Obviously, Shen Rongzhong transferred the black cavalry guard to do things for Xiao Hongcheng.

The Grand Commander Shen Rongzhong still had the same flat expression, and still said respectfully: "Your Highness has a cool temperament, Your Majesty. ”

The emperor didn't expect Shen Rongzhong to be willing to say such a thing for Xiao Hongcheng, so he couldn't help laughing, so he stood up and scolded with a smile: "You are used to him!" ”

Commander Shen Rongzhong bowed down and said: "The minister doesn't dare, the mother has the grace to save his life, but His Royal Highness has orders, and the minister doesn't dare not do it." ”

This naturally refers to Empress Jingxian, who died young.

The emperor knew his temper, and did not go around with him in this subsection, but just paced two steps behind his back, and said, "What do you think of that girl?" ”

Shen Rongzhong said: "It's hard to say about other benefits, but at least there are some benefits, and the overall situation is good." ”

Hey?

The emperor came with interest: "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Rongzhong said: "What happened in the palace before, the minister hasn't had time to play His Majesty's Majesty. ”

He fainted Wei Meiren, everyone was in an uproar, Concubine Qing deliberately waited for a moment to play the scenes one by one, speaking of Zhou Baolu Seeing that something happened suddenly, but did not immediately watch, but took two steps back, stood on a high place, looked at the whole scene in his eyes, and saw someone doing things on the eldest princess, Zhou Baolu's handling of this was very detailed.

The emperor was a little surprised: "It's a little interesting, being able to look at the overall situation and focus on the details is more than a little good." ”

"Yes." Shen Rongzhong just replied simply.

The emperor smiled: "The stinky boy has a bit of vision!" ”

He muttered again: "Well, let's take a look, if he really wants to, it doesn't hurt to wait two more years." ”

The emperor obviously knew very well that Shen Rongzhong was rescued back then, and Empress Jingxian, who died early, was still the crown princess, and she was quite kind to him.

Thinking so, the emperor smiled again and said, "This kid is really unruly. ”

But the expression of saying this is relaxed, the opponent holds the country, the rules are just things used on others, they are tools used to regulate others, and the emperor will never be limited by the rules.

To a certain extent, Shen Rongzhong said that Xiao Hongcheng had a cool temperament and Emperor Xiao, and the emperor recognized it, and using this sentence to persuade the emperor was also because of Shen Rongzhong's understanding of the emperor over the years.

Naturally, there are many second princes and three princes in the court, in addition to the two princes and the three princes, the biological mothers have the position of concubines, and the mother family is also very powerful, and the two highnesses are much stronger than the eldest prince in both reading and martial arts, which is also known to everyone.

I heard that since he was a child, the eldest prince is always inferior to his two younger brothers, and the emperor has scolded him several times when he hates iron and steel, and after he grows up, he is still like this.

The emperor also said before the ministers that the second prince is extraordinary, and the third prince can determine the country, and the ministers naturally inevitably guess, some people say that now the world is peaceful and prosperous, and it is natural to rule the country with literature, and some people say that the prince should prefer to practice martial arts.

However, when the second prince and the third prince were still learning literature and martial arts, the eldest prince had already gone to Jiangnan with King Cheng to investigate the salt political case, sent down the officials of the two provinces, and confiscated tens of millions of taels of silver.

Wen Chengwu is just the icing on the cake of the emperor, and the talent to perceive the world, the vision of people, and the means of doing things are the foundation of the emperor.

Wenqu Xing and Wu Qu Xing are just courtiers driven by the emperor.

Shen Rongzhong is probably the person who knows the emperor best in this world, so he knows that this sentence sounds like a rebuke, but in fact he likes it, Xiao Hongcheng dares to reach out and has the ability to reach out to grab what he wants, which is exactly a certain quality that the emperor expects.

If you are bound by rules everywhere, how can you afford the picturesque scenery of Dasheng?

Shen Rongzhong said: "As the folk saying goes, a virtuous wife and a husband have few disasters, His Royal Highness has no biological mother to support, and there must always be a confidant by his side." ”

The emperor continued to walk forward, nodding and saying, "It depends on the creation of this kid, if he can get a daughter-in-law who knows everything, I will naturally fulfill him." You don't have to be sloppy in front of me, his daughter-in-law will be the mother of the world in the future, and De Rong Yan Gong will have it, but if you call De Rong Yan Gong to teach, but it will not work, speaking of it, the princess is not as dangerous as the prince, and she can't sit still if she has no ability, she blindly obeys the rules, she doesn't know how to be flexible, maybe she will have to affect him, and it will not be good for the future, the child is still young, it is the time to worry, and you have to see it. ”

Shen Rongzhong really didn't say it anymore.

At least if we have to look at it again, it's enough.

The emperor had already sorted out his thoughts, his footsteps did not stop, and a series of orders came down: "Command six places, and set up another dense folding box, and report it every ten days." ”

"Yes!"

"Don't pay attention to Wei Meiren's matter today, it's not time yet, and you can't let that kid be too smooth, just kill the palace maid who does it to the eldest princess, no need to judge."

"Yes!"

"The decree was passed on, and the left servant of the ministry was transferred to the minister of the Ganshan River, and he took office on the same day, and Chen Xihua made up for the left servant of the ministry, and the eldest son of the emperor followed Chen Xihua into the director of the ministry."

"Yes!"

"Zhou Anming, the eldest grandson of Zhenguo, gave the three-grade imperial guards, and transferred the emperor to serve in the palace."

"Yes!"

The holy decree clearly contained the palace report, Jinghe eldest princess's mansion was lively for a while, the New Year's banquet ministers, the saint's move has made the emperor's eldest son's market hot, the emperor's performance in the harem, Jinghe's eldest princess's mansion is already bright, at this time, the next generation of the emperor has approved the selection of the emperor's son, arranged to the emperor's eldest son's side, Jinghe eldest princess's mansion market is naturally more rising.

There were a lot more people coming to the door than in the past.

Jing and the eldest princess's family naturally discussed their future actions again and again, and at this time, Zhou Anming and Zhou Baolu were the top priorities of the discussion.

However, Zhou Anming may still be able to attend the discussion, but Zhou Baolu can't participate, she hasn't paid keen attention to the political situation, and her attention at this time is on the Tieshu Hutong that Huang Gongzi said.
