After the drum beat at the time of the unitary, the officials of the government offices were on duty, and the emperor was about to take the imperial chariot back to the harem. The day's official work is coming to an end, and only the eunuchs and maids of each palace have to take turns to continue their work.

There were tens of thousands of people in the palace, but almost no emperor was seen. For several months, Zhu Di slept alone at night or at the queen's place, and never spent the night in other concubines' rooms.

Empress Xu is virtuous, and occasionally persuades the emperor to get wet with rain and dew. Zhu Di then summoned other concubines to sleep, and when he was done, he asked someone to take him away, and still did not leave any concubines for the night.

Today, Zhu Di just passed the Qianqing Gate, so he ordered the team to go straight to Kunning Palace, still looking for Queen Xu.

Empress Xu had just been canonized as an empress and was very happy to move into Kunning Palace. But Zhu Di knew that she would soon get tired of it, just as he was tired of living in the Qianqing Palace...... The main hall is too big and a little damp, which looks domineering, but it is not suitable for daily living.

Zhu Di arrived at Kunning Palace, walked up the stone steps, and saw the queen coming to greet him. Standing at the gate of Kunning Palace, I saw that there were empty bricks all around, and this hall stood in the middle, and countless eunuchs and palace maids on duty around knelt down.

There is indeed a sense of solipsism! But in front of everyone's eyes, since the emperor and empress represent the will of heaven, everything naturally has to be paid attention to. That's why Queen Xu is very respectful, which makes people feel very outward.

The two walked into the main gate of Kunning Palace, and there was a big chair facing the door, and the bed was placed next door, which could be seen from the window, and it was also very large. Walking here, there is still a faint feeling of going to the office...... The Qianqing Palace is also like this, so when Zhu Di is not working, he would rather stay in the East and West Warm Pavilion than go to his own dormitory, the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di was the emperor, so he sat down on a big chair in the middle, and asked Empress Xu to sit next to him. The palace maid immediately made tea and came up with snacks.

At this time, Queen Xu spoke: "At that family banquet, I met Guo Ming's second daughter Guo, and I liked it very much. The Guo family is fourteen years old, just the right age, innocent, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Wuding, and the daughter of Guo Xu. At first glance, he is a gentle and virtuous person, who looks dignified and beautiful, his shoulders and back are like shaving, his skin is like jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his hands are good-looking, just like peeled spring bamboo shoots, which makes people very happy to see it.

The saint had also agreed to this marriage before, and when I met Guo that day, I was so happy that I took it upon myself to talk to Guo Xu. Guo Xu also has no objection. ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "I know that you have long been in a hurry." Since the queen can see it, of course I agree. ”

"How can a mother not be in a hurry about this? Gao Xu is nineteen years old, and he has not yet married. Every time I think about it, I always feel that I can't go and I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. Empress Xu said, "Now that the Holy Lord has given permission, I want to send someone to ask Ming Nacai as soon as possible and get this matter done quickly." ”

She pondered for a moment, and then said, "At the family banquet, Gao Xu had something to do; Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity of that day to let him see it too...... Now I can't let him see it, it's okay, I asked Gao Xu before, Gao Xu said that this matter is all up to his parents. ”

Zhu Di didn't have any opinion on all this, but at this time he said: "Guo's dowry, I will reward her, and it will be rich." ”

Empress Xu said happily: "Shengshang Longen, call the people of Guo Ming's family to thank you another day." ”

Guo's dowry was also to be brought to the palace of Gaoyang County. Zhu Di is obviously a gift to the Guo family, for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Wuding, but in fact, it is also cheaper Gao Xu...... In doing so, he treated Gao Xu well in terms of money and goods, but also did not make his children feel unfair.

Zhu Di heard Queen Xu talk about marriage, and thought of the sister of the general Zhang Fu. Since he had already spoken in front of the eunuchs, Zhang Fu could no longer marry the prince at this time.

After a while, Zhu Di suddenly spoke: "Does Guo Ming have two daughters?" ”

Empress Xu said: "Yes." Gao Xu wants to marry Guo Ming's daughter, and she also has a sister, although she is not a daughter, but she was also raised by Guo Xu's family. ”

Zhu Di said casually: "Call the eldest daughter born by the concubine and give it to the prince as the second concubine." ”

Empress Xu has no objection, if it is not necessary, she will never object to Zhu Di's intentions.

…… What the emperor said personally, Empress Xu sent a eunuch to the Marquis of Wuding Mansion within two days, and asked Guo Ming privately if she intended to give her eldest daughter to the prince as the second concubine. Guo Ming immediately agreed.

Since Guo Xu's mother and daughter entered the palace for a banquet, the guests of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion have increased day by day, and the Guo family has regained its status.

Most people came to Guo Ming to make friends and envied Guo Ming's brothers and sisters. For this reason, Guo Ming knows that it is nothing more than that he has become close to the royal family.

Now that he can not only marry King Gaoyang, but also marry his son, Guo Ming simply feels that the wealth of the Guo family will be stable for at least a few generations! No matter who becomes the crown prince and the future emperor, the Guo family has affection in the royal family.

After Guo Ming agreed to the eunuch sent by the queen, he told Xu and Guo Yan about it.

He said, "This is a good thing, and I felt that there was nothing to negotiate at that time, so I did not dare to resent the queen's kindness." ”

Guo Yan was not stunned like last time, her face was red, and when she asked her words, she just said softly: "This kind of thing, all respect the orders of parents, how embarrassed to be a daughter to say anything!" ”

"Haha......" Guo Ming laughed when he heard it.

Guo Yan actually knows in her heart, she is a person with ideas. Although he wants to be the second concubine of the prince, in recent months, it has been said that the emperor's eldest son, Gao Chi, can be the crown prince, and it will be the second concubine of the prince in the future, which is also very good.

The point is that Shizi has a good reputation, and he is said to be an excellent person; This kind of major event not only depends on the identity, but also depends on who the husband himself is.

At the family banquet that day, because the female relatives did not sit at the same table with the nobles of the clan, Guo Yan entered the palace for the first time and dined among everyone, she was very nervous, and she didn't even understand the taste of the meal, for fear of making a mistake, and she didn't pay attention to those people, but she didn't know how many people and who were the princes and concubines at the other table. Now that I think about it, it's a bit of a pity.

Sure enough, his father Guo Ming also said in a deep voice: "That King Gaoyang has a bad reputation and no reputation, I'm afraid he can't be the prince......"

As soon as he said this, he saw Wei'er coming in, Guo Ming immediately stopped, and glanced at Wei'er with a crying face, he pretended not to know, so he only said that the prince, "The prince is the eldest son of the saint, and he has the greatest possibility of becoming the crown prince." Yan'er is the second concubine, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future! ”

Guo Ming also said: "It is said that the prince of the world has a blessed face, a benevolent heart, is a humble and elegant person, often talks about poetry and songs with the literati, and all the courtiers like it. ”

"How old is Shizi?" Guo Yan asked in a low voice.

Guo Ming suddenly smiled again and said, "Today, he is in the prime of life, like the sun, how big can the prince be?" The son should be more than twenty years old, and the father only found out about this today, so he will inquire about it another day. ”

Guo Yan's face was red, and she didn't say anything more.

"The status of the prince is honorable, and he is a humble gentleman who is knowledgeable and courteous, Yan'er is blessed." Xu Shi also said happily, she looked at her biological daughter again, and said gently, "Wei'er is the wife of King Gaoyang, which is also good." ”

Guo Ming nodded and said: "That's right, what our family can rely on right now is the King of Gaoyang, and once Wei'er passes through the door, she will be the princess, and she can afford to speak in the palace of Gaoyang County." The hope of the whole family is in you, don't cry with a sad face. ”

"Oh......" Vile replied.

Guo Yan was a little distracted, and words such as poetry and songs, elegant gentlemen and other words lingered in her mind. She seemed to have seen a noble and handsome prince holding a book of poetry in his hand, walking on a gorgeous corridor, his figure was as long as the general of the Jade Mountain, he was looking forward to the wind, while muttering the words of the literary language, and on the other hand, there was a melancholy on his face, he was distressed about the people of the world under the governance of the emperor who had killed too much.

He has the world in his heart, a great responsibility from heaven, and is determined to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness and treat all the people kindly, and he must need a beautiful concubine in the show of wisdom to take care of his internal affairs, take care of his warmth and well-being, and comfort his heart of worrying about the country and the people.

Guo Yan's face was crimson, she buried her head there silently, and her brain was dizzy.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a fierce and ugly man jump out...... After all, the prince and the king of Gaoyang are fighting for the crown prince in the open and secret, and it is known all over the city. But how could that stupid martial artist be the opponent of the eldest son of the emperor's concubine who was confident, full of strategy, and justified?

Thinking of this, Guo Yan turned her head to look at her sister, who was staring at her with big bright eyes looking at her in confusion. Guo Yan said in her heart: For the sake of a good sister, I must intercede for her when the time comes.

At this time, Guo Yan thought that it was her sister who blocked King Gaoyang's marriage for her, and suddenly grabbed her sister's slender hand very distressed, and whispered guiltily: "Good sister, sister is sorry for you." ”

Wei'er had been looking at Guo Yan for a long time just now, and then she muttered: "Sister, the son of the world is good, and I hope that the princess of the world is also good." ”

Guo Yan nodded lightly after hearing this, feeling a little shadow in her heart, but she felt: The princess of that world is definitely not as young and beautiful as herself!
