Jiang Shuncheng said with a smile: "I was originally scheduled to send the little girl out of the city this morning, but I asked the emperor for leave." Just at this time, I asked King Wu for his guilt and invited King Wu to have a meal. ”

He confessed and said those words again, naturally agreeing with Jiang Suyan's choice and decision.

invited him to dinner, ostensibly to make amends for Su Yan to trap him with a formation. In fact, he apologized to Jiang Suyan for his refusal.

"Jiang Xiangye, you tell this hall, is this hall not worthy of your daughter?"

Jiang Shuncheng smiled away, saying that he didn't give up.

Knowing too much, Jiang Shuncheng would never agree.

hugged his fists and said: "King Wu's words are serious, but the little girl does not dare to climb His Highness." ”

King Wu originally thought that when he came out, he would definitely punish Jiang Suyan well, but what he didn't expect was that she left and left. Before, he didn't realize it, but now he understands that she really didn't take herself to heart. Even Jiang Shuncheng didn't want them to be together, one was the eldest grandson of the emperor, and the other was the most beloved daughter of the right minister of the dynasty, it must be a match made in heaven for others, but Jiang Shuncheng didn't have the heart to cling, and even Jiang Suyan didn't accept him.

"Jiang Xiangye, if the palace says that you are allowed to climb high?"

Jiang Shuncheng lowered his head and immediately bowed his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Wu should not make such jokes with the old ministers. The old man and the little girl are unwilling and dare not climb high! ”

The corners of King Wu's mouth twitched, and he shouted "You ......"

is such a straightforward refusal, unwilling to climb him.

Jiang Shuncheng knew that he was displeased, and said: "Don't hide it from King Wu, the little girl also told the old minister and Mrs. early in the morning that the lover she wants to pick needs to be the only one in her life, just like the old minister and his wife." As for the side, she didn't say anything, but the old minister said that she must want to pick a man who can match your conditions. King Wu's identity is really too noble. The Jiang family is unwilling to climb! ”

"Jiang Shuncheng! Good! You're so nice! How dare you refuse this temple, and you say you don't want it? ”

Jiang Shuncheng was not angry, let alone afraid, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is angry, for such a major matter, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to discuss it with the emperor." ”

King Wu said coldly: "Do you want to use the emperor to suppress the palace?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare! The royal family affair is a major national event, and His Royal Highness forgot that in a few days it will be an auspicious day for His Highness, the Ten Princes, and the Eleventh Princes to choose their concubines. At that time, the daughters of officials above the fifth grade from all over the country will gather in the palace, with the dignity and talent of His Royal Highness, what kind of woman does not have. The old minister wishes His Royal Highness. Get a good match, get a beautiful woman! ”

In any case, he just didn't agree to marry his daughter to him.

What's wrong with him. Even Jiang Shuncheng disagreed.

"No more! As soon as the bell rings, let's go home! ”

King Wu went angrily.

Jiang Shuncheng looked at the backs of the two, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the left and right: "The uncle and the third master go back to the house and invite them to the garden for a banquet!" ”

Jiang Shuncheng turned around and walked around the South Garden. When I looked up and saw that the previous sign was gone, Mama Qing led Bai Fei and the two little girls to hold flower hoes as if they were hoeing grass?

Not like!

It looks like planting flowers, but it doesn't look like it. It's more like sowing something into the ground.

Jiang Shun was sincerely curious, took a good-looking official step, approached the Deyue Pavilion, and Mama Qing led everyone to kneel and salute.

"Mademoiselle is not here. What are you doing? ”

Mama Qing said with a smile: "Back to Xiangye, before leaving, Miss specially bought some seeds. I also drew a picture, and asked us to plant these seeds around Deyue Pavilion, saying that they can repel mosquitoes in summer and enjoy them as flowers in winter. Here. This is the lady looking for someone to buy, it rained a while ago. The soil is damp, just right to plant. ”

Jiang Shuncheng glanced at the paper bag, which was marked with words: "It's all some medicinal herbs." ”

"Yes. The young lady said that it is good to grow medicine, and if you plant medicine, it can come in handy, not only for your own use, but also for selling it in pharmacies. ”

Jiang Shuncheng sighed lightly: "This kid, there is no time to stop." If you are busy, plant it as she says and take care of it. ”

Mama Qing thought that Jiang Shuncheng would oppose it, but she didn't think that he was still very supportive, and it seemed that everything she did to Su Yan was right.

King Wu returned to the house, bathed and changed clothes, ate a full meal, lay on the bed and slept a lot, when he woke up, it was already a quarter of the next day, as soon as he opened his eyes, he recalled the thick fog and the fragrance of flowers, and saw the familiar table and bed, and suddenly came back to his senses, and the inexplicable emotions were wrapped in the left and right.

"Lord Qiqi, someone has come to the palace, the emperor invites the prince to the palace to discuss matters!"

King Wu sat up, busy for a while, and better put on the dragon robe.

Concubine Shu stepped into the room surrounded by everyone, and wore a dark dragon robe to line King Wu more and more with the jade tree in the wind, and said warmly: "My son, you have slept for a long time, and you didn't wake up when I came to your house yesterday." ”

She was followed by a few girls holding porridge points, and Concubine Shu quickly spread the porridge points on the case: "I heard that in the past few days, the noble ladies from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another, and now they are unified in the official post, and the day of choosing a concubine has been set, on the ninth day of the third month, it was selected by Qin Tianjian, saying that this day is a rare auspicious day of the zodiac in a century." ”

"Why is it the ninth day of March again?"

Concubine Shu smiled: "There are two March in a year, and the ninth day of the third month is not successful, look at what you said." Yesterday, Concubine De made a decree and invited me to enter the palace for a while, but I was afraid that she was going to talk about the selection of concubines. My son, tell my mother that there is a young lady in the picture. ”

This is a great opportunity!

Wu Wang said: "My son thinks that the young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is good!" ”

Concubine Shu pondered, and only when her face eased did she remember who this was, she had heard of Jiang Suyan's name, and shook her head: "She can't do it." ”

"Why? Is her background low, or is she ugly, virtuous and tasteless? ”

Concubine Shu pushed his favorite pastries over and said, "A few days ago, I went to the palace and listened to what Concubine De said. The ten princes were fond of her and asked Concubine De to fulfill it. I didn't think that Concubine De refused, I heard that she went to see the emperor a few days ago, and she told the emperor that her husband should be the only one...... Listen, what is this called. The emperor was angry at the time, but she didn't know what was wrong, and said that she wanted to live like her parents, and if that person couldn't do it, he wouldn't be worthy of being her lover. ”

She really told her parents that she would be a couple like her parents, with no concubines, no other women, only her and him.

King Wu's tone was deep, but she was also real, her heart was the same, even if she knew that she couldn't say it, she still said it. "Does the concubine think that's wrong?"

"This is not an ordinary people's family, you are in the emperor's family, so you are destined to give priority to reproduction of children. Your father died early, and you have a son under your knees, when you pay more attention to this matter than ordinary people, how can you be the only one, of course, you have three wives and four concubines, and give your mother a few more grandchildren, this is the right thing. ”

He thought that her words were right, but he didn't want to, and even his mother felt wrong.

"The tenth prince asked to marry Miss Jiang, did the emperor answer?"

"Where can the emperor respond, the emperor ordered him to choose another princess on the ninth day of the first month of March, and he can choose a few of them, but he can't choose Miss Jiang."

The ten princes were not allowed to choose Jiang Suyan as their concubine, also because of the words that Jiang Suyan said in front of the emperor.

He was trapped for days, not wanting that so many big things were happening outside, and he missed them one by one.

"Mother thinks, who should I choose as my concubine?"

Should he insist? Or give up?

So-yeon is nice, authentic, talented, and more importantly, he likes her.

"Wei Niang has been investigating for several days, Cui Shan from Zuo Xiangfu, Yayun from Wen Shangshu's family, Miss An from Gusu Anguo's family, and Miss Jingnan Houfu are all very good."

"Cui Shan, Miss Jingnan Houfu?" King Wu shook his head again and again, "I don't know, but these two have seen it, one is brutal and willful, the other is arrogant and domineering, and the mother concubine is really good at picking." ”

"Cui Shan is your eldest aunt's daughter, I don't know how many sons of noble families want to marry."

"As we all know, she thinks of Yu Wenyan in her heart, and she has someone else in her heart, so don't mention her."

Concubine Shu said: "You have to know it in your heart." The concubines of officials below the third rank should not be the princess of the main family, and the two side concubines can be chosen however you want. The concubine has to listen to her mother, so she picks the three families just mentioned. ”

"Why not Jiang Suyan?"

The woman he wanted to marry the most was Jiang Suyan.

She was the only one, and the thought of her appearance made him happy and angry, which made him mad.

She stayed away from him just because he was a member of the royal family.

Her frustration was only because she thought they weren't all the way.

"She didn't. If you marry her, you must not be stirred up by her, and you will be twenty-one in October, and you must not delay. I look at the young ladies of the three families very well, how about you pick a favorite one and establish it as Princess Wu, and also calm the heart of the mother? ”

"Mother, let me think about it!"

I have no appetite anymore, thinking that Su Yan trapped him, just to leave calmly.

Concubine Shu didn't know Yu Wenxuan's thoughts, he liked Jiang Suyan, but Jiang Suyan was good at everything, but her intolerable temperament made her very unhappy. This is a royal man, how can he think of a mountain village woman, the mountain village husband only has one wife, that is because he is too poor to accept concubines and cannot raise so many women. But this is royal, Yu Wenxuan was born destined to be a concubine.

*

In the Imperial Palace, in the palace of the virtuous concubine.

Concubine Shu looked at the pictures, either delicate, delicate, or gentle...... In all its forms, it is really more attractive than the flowers in the Imperial Garden.

Concubine Xian smiled gently, and said: "But there is a look at what you like, this palace has picked and picked, and selected and chosen, so these eight people are left, and there is always one that suits your heart." ”

Concubine Shu took a look at it and quickly understood that half of the people in it were related to Concubine Xian, or the niece of Concubine Xian's mother's family, or the daughter of Concubine Xian's sisters, or the daughter of a courtier who was good friends with Concubine Xian's family. "The candidate for the concubine, King Wu already has it in his heart. Now it's time to pick a side concubine. ”

is talking about the selection of concubines here, and the emperor also left Jiang Shuncheng.

King Wu approached the imperial study, and Dagong'e smiled and said, "Your Highness, please come in, the emperor will come over in a while, please wait a while." ”

In King Wu's room, he sat down in front of the desk, and Gong E served refreshments and spoke carefully with him.

"How is the Emperor's Holy Sacrament these days?"

"Back to His Highness, the dragon is healthy, but he is worried about the war in the northwest recently."
