Chapter 691: The status of the crown princess
After that, the women waited outside the East Palace, and the ministers separated from them.
In the East Palace, Li Shimin sat on the main seat, and beside him was the eldest grandson queen.
Li Chengqian is on the left, and on the right are the major concubines.
As for the ministers, they are all left and right under the station.
From their eyes, it can be seen that they are eager for their daughter to be elected as the crown princess, you know, that is a glorious thing. It can also bring more convenience to his family.
"Gao Ming, what topic do you have in mind?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, Erchen has already thought about it."
Li Chengqian said.
He had already figured out how to ask the question.
"What's the problem then?"
"This question is very simple, why did you choose the crown princess!"
Li Chengqian's question is indeed very simple, so simple that anyone can answer it.
This question made everyone scoff.
Everyone must be thinking in their hearts that this question is too simple, and they can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is known for his talents, would come up with such a simple question.
At this time, there is no way to talk to the outside, otherwise they must reveal the problem to their daughter, and they can also give special guidance, and they will definitely be able to get back.
For this question, everyone is also confident and has figured out how to answer. Isn't everyone all for the same purpose?
But Empress Changsun has a different opinion.
"It's a simple question, but it's not easy to answer it well."
"Guanyin is right, I also think that although this question is simple, it is not feasible to answer it well."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a talented man, this problem is good!"
Concubine Yang also said that as a princess of the previous dynasty, she knew what the relationship was.
As for the other concubines, they are also towards Li Chengqian, so they naturally say yes.
Why? Because simple questions are not easy to reply, it is naturally good to reply well, and if you don't answer well, I am afraid that it will affect your family.
The question is simple, but the answer is the hardest.
"Alright, let the first one in!"
Then the maidens entered the palace one by one.
They replied to Li Chengqian's questions, and they all had answers, some said that they wanted to manage the affairs of the East Palace, some came here because Li Chengqian was handsome, and some were bored at home and had nothing to do......
After a while, he saw Li Shimin's face unhappy.
He said: "It's been dozens of people, why is it so difficult to reply to such a simple question?" There are all kinds of answers, and none of them are satisfactory! ”
李成干 says:
"Your Majesty, maybe it would be better for someone in the next few to respond?"
"That's the only way, if not, I may have to expand the scope and select one person from the entire Chang'an City."
If he can't choose a crown princess, he is afraid that he will be ridiculed, and Li Shimin naturally can't give up so easily.
He didn't believe that he couldn't choose anyone from the Tang Dynasty!
"How many others?"
Li Chengqian asked.
Xiao Huangmen said, "There are the last two!" ”
"So, one of them is the daughter of the martial artist?"
Empress Eldest Sun said.
Her words were full of interest.
"Yes!"
Li Chengqian nodded.
At this time, Concubine Yang took the notebook and said:
"Your Majesty, there is another person who is Liu Hui, the daughter of the Duke of Kui Guo"
"It seems that it depends on whether these two people are qualified. If it really doesn't work, then the only way to do it is to expand the scope. ”
Li Shimin said.
"Announce the next!"
After a while, a young girl entered the palace.
She has a light posture, dignified manners, and looks like a lady.
When Li Chengqian saw her, he turned his head directly, not wanting to look at her face. Because she was born very annoying, and she looks a little like Liu Hongji between her eyebrows.
Looking at Liu Hongji at the bottom, his face was full of smiles and pride.
As for the samurai, it is to ignore her existence.
In his heart, he is naturally his own daughter.
"Liu Hui greets Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the concubines!"
She was not rude at all, and gestured to the ministers.
This performance provoked everyone to nod yes without paying attention. Such a performance can be scored 10 points.
"Liu Hui, the daughter of Kui Guogong, is really educated!"
Li Shimin praised.
It seems that this woman is deeply liked by him.
Because the dozens of people just now didn't particularly satisfy him.
"It's good, with this initiative, it seems that Hongji has not taught less!"
Empress Eldest Sun also said.
These two people are actually a little satisfied with Liu Hui, it seems that Wu Zetian will be in danger next, if her performance is not as good as Liu Hui, I am afraid that the position of the crown princess will be gone.
But seeing that Li Chengqian didn't care, if Liu Hui was really selected, he would have a way to eliminate her existence and let Wu Zetian be selected instead. He has hole cards that have not been played, and she will definitely be finished when he comes out.
"Liu Hui, I ask you, why did you choose the crown princess?"
This question was raised by Li Chengqian.
Liu Hui thought for a while and said: "In order to glorify the ancestors, serve His Royal Highness the Prince, and give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a stable harem." The so-called wife is the husband's harbor, and I want to be this harbor! No matter how strong the wind and waves are outside, I will still be the most stable one! ”
Liu Hui did not explain, in fact, the status of the crown princess is high, the status of the crown princess comes from the crown prince, and the status of the prince as a prince is higher than that of everyone except the emperor and empress, and the natural status as the prince's wife is similar.
The ancients, especially the royal monarchs and ministers before the father and son, so the so-called elders who are dispensable like father and concubine must not be able to cross the gap between monarchs and ministers. That is to say, the status of the crown princess is higher than that of Concubine Yang, but her rank is lower.
Liu Hui's reply was not wrong at all, and she also got Li Shimin's nod.
It shows that this answer has entered the alternative.
"It doesn't seem wrong to say that, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Empress Eldest Sun said.
"I think that's the case, this harbor is a good metaphor! This is the first time I've heard of such a parable! Ok, good, good! ”
Liu Hongji's face was bright, but Wu Shitong had a different expression.
Liu Hui was very bold, and then asked: "I don't know if the little girl can be the harbor of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Such an active questioning made Li Shimin a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, isn't this, is there another one?"
Li Chengqian interrupted directly, but he couldn't let Li Shimin feel that Liu Hui was good.
Wu Zetian hasn't performed yet.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is still the daughter of the samurai Tong who has not yet come out! Don't give her a chance? ”
Empress Eldest Sun reminded.
Li Shimin slapped his thigh.
"I almost forgot. Announce the next. Liu Hui, you stand on the side. ”
"Yes!".
Liu Hui subconsciously glanced at Li Chengqian, thinking in her heart, is she really so annoying?
I'm afraid I won't be elected so soon, and even if I do, I won't be happy, and I won't be lucky, and there will definitely be no queen. The last 8 crown princess is a joke.
