This time, the emperor ordered to choose a parent, in fact, not only for Xiao Wei, but also for the five princes who had been confined in the mansion before, and the second prince who had never appeared in front of people.

Speaking of the second prince, he was sent to live in Qingquan Temple in Yanzhou since he was three years old, and he has never appeared in front of people.

However, the emperor did not snub him because he was raised outside since he was a child, but often sent Xinzhong's chamberlain to Yanzhou to see him.

It's just that because he didn't appear in front of people, the high gate in Beijing never set his eyes on the second prince, not to mention, the crown prince was set up in the court.

Later, the third prince from Concubine Hui fought with the prince in the court, and no one would set their eyes on the second prince.

The fifth prince, the Yongyi Marquis Mansion fell, Concubine Hui was implicated because of her mother's family and her son's affairs, although she tried her best to say that she didn't know about it, although the emperor did not deprive her of her title, but imprisoned her in the palace.

Concubine Hui was the concubine of the emperor's palace, although she was not as favored as Concubine Yu, she had always been very decent in front of the emperor, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth to two sons and a daughter.

Just like this time, the three princes did such a rebellious event, and Concubine Hui was only reprimanded by the emperor, and her title was not deprived, and she did not stop worshipping, but she was confined in the palace.

After the incident of the third prince, Concubine Hui fell ill, and after the winter, the condition became worse and worse, Concubine Yu was in charge of the harem, and the hospital reported the matter to Concubine Yu.

After all, she is a concubine who has served the emperor for many years, and the emperor is a nostalgic person.

Concubine Yu went over to look and saw Concubine Hui sitting at the head of the bed with a sallow face, dying.

Seeing Concubine Yu coming, Concubine Hui struggled to get up.

"Sister, don't toss, just lie down." Concubine Yu stepped forward quickly, held down Concubine Hui, and helped her lie down.

Concubine Hui's weak Chaoyu Guifei smiled and said, "Thank you sister for your understanding." ”

Concubine Yu asked the palace people on the side, "The imperial doctor only said that my sister is a little bad, how can it be bad?" ”

Standing at the head of the bed, Concubine Hui's palace people immediately replied, "Back to Concubine Guiniang, the imperial doctor said that my mother is weak and depressed, and her illness is getting worse and worse, so I'm afraid of ......."

"Alright, you go down." Before the palace people finished speaking, they were interrupted by Concubine Hui unhappily and drove her out.

The palace people could only be aggrieved, and hung their heads and retreated.

Concubine Hui smiled at Concubine Yu, "I didn't discipline my subordinates well, which really made my sister laugh." ”

She said, paused for a moment, and continued,

"My illness, I know it in my heart, take good care of it, it will be fine, and please don't mention it to Your Majesty."

Concubine Yu held her hand and said softly, "It's cold, my sister must respect the orders of the imperial doctors." Take medicine well and recuperate well. ”

"Your Majesty, I know why you are so depressed, I will mention that matter to the emperor, and I will definitely call the five princes to meet you."

Concubine Hui listened, a tear came from the corner of her eye, and she smiled bitterly,

"Sister, my sister really has no face to see Your Majesty, it's because I, a mother, didn't teach the child well, so I let him ......"

Her lips moved, tears grew bigger and bigger, and she choked up,

"It's not that I haven't asked to see Your Majesty, but Your Majesty always doesn't want to see me, and I can only talk to my sister about what I say."

Concubine Yu said softly,

"Yes, mother and son are connected, no matter how bad it is, it is also their own child, the third prince...... Hey, fortunately, my sister still has the five princes. ”

Concubine Hui raised her thin hand and wiped her tears, "I also know that it is a few of them who have done wrong, which will make Your Majesty feel cold, but I am a mother, so I just want to meet Xiao Wu and see if he is doing well......"

Concubine Yu patted her hands, comforted her in a low voice, and promised to let the emperor come to see her or something.

The two talked again, and Concubine Yu left.

After leaving Concubine Hui's palace and getting into the car, Qiu Ling, a female official who had been silent beside Concubine Yu, said in a low voice,

"Niangniang, why do you want to help Concubine Hui? Let Your Majesty go to her. ”

Concubine Yu chuckled, "Concubine Hui gave birth to two sons and a daughter, which is unique in the harem, the emperor did not take away her concubine, but was grounded, and the emperor still has Concubine Hui in his heart." ”

"He's always going to see her, but it's just a little longer, why don't I do this?"

"Moreover, the emperor has the idea of choosing a relative for Zheng'er, we all know that Zheng'er doesn't need this at all, since this is the case, it is better to let the five princes come out and stir up the troubled waters."

"What's more, Concubine Hui now only has the fifth prince to rely on, so it's not strange to think that he will come out, but at this time."

"Then I'll go and ask Your Majesty to ask the five princes to come out and see Concubine Hui, so that we can figure out their purpose."

Qiu Ling smiled and nodded, "That's fine." ”

Concubine Yu returned to the palace and sat on the couch for a while, then she made up and dressed up, and went to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor.

The emperor naturally knew that she had gone to see Concubine Hui, and said, "Concubine Hui called you here?" ”

Concubine Yu said with a smile, "Sister Hui is understandable that she is worried about the five princes, she didn't say it, it was the concubine herself." ”

"Compare your heart to your heart, and the concubine can understand the thoughts of Sister Hui's sister."

The emperor was silent, and finally went to see Concubine Hui on the second day.

Subsequently, when the emperor issued an order to choose his relatives, he not only added the names of the second prince and the fifth prince.

This time, the emperor is going to choose three people to marry at once, and they are still three people with comparable reputations.

The second prince who has never appeared in front of people, the fifth prince who has been imprisoned, and Xiao Wei, the prince of Chengen, who used to be a famous gentleman in the capital.

These three are not good stoves, especially Xiao Wei, whose previous attitude towards Xu Han on the school field clearly shows his heart.

Because the fifth prince has a rebellious brother, he is even less favored than Xiao Wei.

Among them, only the second prince who has never met is the most expected.

This time, the conditions are surprisingly wide, as long as you are innocent, you can choose.

All the families in the capital were very surprised, how many princes, one grandson of the eldest princess, this condition is so lenient?

Originally, if it was just Xiao Wei, those high-ranking families would not be willing to let their girls run for election, after all, Xiao Wei had a heart, and the other had a bad reputation in the past.

Although he fought a beautiful turnaround battle in the army for a year, the cow is still a cow wherever it is pulled, and the dog still has to eat no matter when it comes.

What if it's just a temporary change, what if the selection of my own thousands of precious girls is ruined?

But now the three of them are selected together, and each family has some girls who are not up to the same conditions, it is a pity to marry low, and it is difficult to marry high, such a girl is pushed out, in case there is an extra princess, no matter how bad it is, it is always good to be the wife of the prince.

So, a few days after the emperor's words were released, a wave of wind broke out in the capital.

It can only be said that these people think too much, and they feel that their faces are very big, not to mention Xiao Wei, and the five princes have no choice.

At this time, the second prince was kneeling in front of the emperor, and the emperor was sitting cross-legged on the kang, not knowing what he was thinking.

As a prince, the second prince was sent out of the palace to live in the palace since he was a child, of course, for some reasons.

It's nothing more than a bad physique when he was a child.

The emperor is all wet with rain and dew for the harem concubines and children, and he does not have many children himself.

The mother of the second prince was a maid who served by the emperor's side when he was still in the palace.

It is said that the second prince died of illness when he was three years old, and he knew the emperor when he was young, and he had a deep relationship, and his eyes were also purple.

The second prince suffered some twists and turns in the womb, and his health has not been good since birth.

After the death of the second prince and concubine, the emperor personally took care of him for a while, but he just cried, crying and clamoring for his mother.

Later, it was the monk of Huangjue Temple who gave the second prince's mother and concubine to tell the emperor that the second prince was quite close to the dust, and I was afraid that his health would not be much better in the future.

The emperor thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally sent the second prince outside to raise him, and raised him until he was twenty years old and returned to the palace.

During this period, the palace sent a seasoned eunuch to take care of him, and every New Year's Festival, his reward was indispensable.

In the past, the third prince was not favored, and the prince would often go to see him when he could still support him.

It can be said that over the years, although the second prince has been outside the palace, he has received a lot of attention.

It's just that imagination is always beautiful, the emperor wants the second prince to return to the palace at the age of twenty, but the second prince has a willful temperament outside.

I didn't return to the palace until I was almost thirty, and I didn't say kiss, I just wandered outside.

This time, the emperor said that he would choose a relative for him, and when the second prince heard about it, he immediately knelt down in front of the emperor, saying that he already had a favorite person and refused to choose a relative.

The emperor asked him who he wanted, and as long as the court was suitable, he decreed a marriage.

The second prince said frankly that it was just wishful thinking on his part, and the woman had not agreed.

"When you were young, I also took care of you, helped you wear clothes, you were honestly sick, thin and short, long and long knocked a piece of green and a piece of purple, after your mother went, I sent you out of the palace."

"The An family takes good care of you, look at this body, it's no longer the way it was back then."

The second prince, An Xiangchu, looked up at the emperor above.

"Look at what? Am I wrong? ”

An Xiangchu didn't say anything, staring at the ground with a dark and gloomy gaze.

The emperor thought for a moment, got off the ground, got up, and walked up to him. The silence that filled the room was extraordinarily quiet.

The emperor glanced at him, was silent, and walked to the desk again, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked,

"Are you angry that I sent you out in the first place?"

An Xiangchu raised his head, and a trace of strange emotions finally exploded in his expression.

The father and son looked at each other in mid-air, the emperor looked at him deeply, An Xiangchu lifted his breath slightly, rolled his Adam's apple and said, "Erchen doesn't dare." ”

The emperor nodded, looking at the recital on the table,

"You don't say anything about that girl's family background, and I don't force it, just wait for me to choose a noble girl for you."

An Xiangchu didn't want any high-ranking girls, and he knew that there wouldn't be any high-ranking girls.

An Xiangchu said, "Erchen doesn't want any noble girls, he just wants someone who suits his heart." ”

"As long as you spend the rest of your life hand in hand with her."

"I also ask my father to take back his order."

The emperor has seen it, "Are you forcing me?" He furrowed his brow.

"Nope." An Xiangchu's gaze staring at the floor was raised,

"The father is very good to his son, but the son is not a canary in the cage, just a crow used to being in the field."

"The sons and daughters don't want to, and they don't want to be like their father and emperor in the future, with three wives and four concubines, and they have to endure their calculations every day."

"Erchen doesn't want to have an innocent body, and they have to calculate how to prostitute me every day."

"That's not marrying a wife, it's clearly just finding some prostitutes to enter the door."

"I'm not a flower girl in the flower building, little girl."

"The sons don't want to be like their father, they obviously have a beloved, but they still hug left and right and have children."

"Erchen doesn't want to!"

The emperor's tenderness was completely disappeared by An Xiangchu's words, and in his eyes, he was a man of his word, a flower girl, a little girl, and the like?

The paperweight in his hand was on the table at one end, and the other end was in his trembling hand, and it took a long time to 'click' and fall off the table.

Of course, the emperor's expression was also very exciting, and he looked at it in a daze, this son, all the stability of the emperor who collapsed in front of him and did not change his face was gone.

"Is that what you're supposed to say as a son?" The emperor's eyes were gloomy.

"Is it because he is a son that he says these words, or is it a hypocritical compliment for my father to ask his sons to be the same as those courtiers?"

An Xiangchu asked lightly.

The emperor watched him be silent for a long time, and his heart was not so comfortable.

Chu'er's mother followed him when he was a child, and at that time he was still an unfavored prince, with radiant brothers above him.

He didn't take good care of their mother and son, and even made An Xiangchu resentful.

In many cases, the more important your identity is, the more difficult it is to be willful, and the choices that ordinary people can easily make may be multiplied by the difficulty of coming to him.

"Erchen understands that his father wants to be a Ming Jun, but what Erchen has been missing for so many years is finally missing, and Erchen doesn't force it, so please don't force it."

From a prince to a businessman, he can accept it, and he doesn't complain about anything, but it is also a fact that after so many years of estrangement, the past is over, so why bother to make up for it.

Not to mention in such a ridiculous way.

Isn't it often the word power that comes first in the royal family?

Just put yourself in the position of the ruthless emperor, in fact, it is simpler.

What's more, he has no extravagant hopes for a long time.

The Emperor stared at his pitch-black head for a while, and suddenly sneered, "In this case, I have to carry out the family business." ”

"You look at me, don't you know who you like? is the former princess of Zhenbei, and now the mother of the little prince of Zhenbei, Xu, isn't it. ”

An Xiangchu's casually drooping head suddenly rose up after comprehending his meaning.

"What did you say?" The shock made him forget the rules.

The Emperor looked at him with a sneer, "You understand what I said!" ”

An Xiangchu lowered his eyes, "Yes, what Erchen likes is her!" ”

His voice was sonorous and unwavering.

The emperor's expression can be described as very exciting, and only then did he smash the paperweight out with a trembling hand.

"You're dreaming! As a prince, if you marry a woman like that, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you? ”

"A woman like that, what kind of woman is she? The minister doesn't think she is bad, in the eyes of the minister, she is the best in the world. Not one of them. ”

An Xiangchu was also very angry, claiming that he had directly become a 'minister'.

Seeing this, the emperor was already furious, and he would be even more desperate, "If you don't put your mind away, next year and today, it will be her sacrifice day." ”

An Xiangchu looked at the emperor in disbelief, and suddenly smiled, "Father and Emperor are high, Chrysostom and Yuyan, naturally he can easily determine the life and death of people, and the minister will tell you frankly that today next year will not only be her sacrifice day, but also the minister's!" ”

As if he had let himself out, he looked straight at the emperor and said softly, word by word,

"Why does the minister like her, isn't that also taught by my father?"

The emperor's angry eyes suddenly shrank as if deflated, and then his feet went limp, and he fell to the dragon chair.

The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked.

In the eyes of outsiders, wasn't Concubine Yu the wife of the Xiao family in the past?

She left her young son behind and entered the palace, and her grace lasted for more than 20 years.

Today, his son is also in love with an older and divorced woman.

Whose fault is it?

"I am the Son of Heaven, how can you compare with me?" The emperor originally hoped that by choosing his relatives, he could get An Xiangchu's understanding and acceptance.

Unexpectedly, it was this scene today.

As if torn, there is a huge chasm between father and son, and after today, it is irreparable.

His eyes overflowed with the vicissitudes of meaning.

"Go down, I don't want to see you again, if you don't want the affection of father and son, then talk about the monarch and the minister."

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun En, your family election will be carried out with Xiao Wei and them, this is a holy decree!"

An Xiangchu stood up from the ground, and his tall and burly body stood there like a green pine.

"Your Majesty and Xiao Wei also don't want father-son affection, just about monarchs and ministers?"

"No wonder! You know who he likes, and you still have to make this choice. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

"Stop!" The emperor suddenly shouted and handed over An Xiangchu, who was in a high-spirited posture.

An Xiangchu paused, his body stopped, but he didn't turn around.

"What do you say, I and Xiao Wei don't want father-son affection...... Do you think Xiao Wei is my child? ”

"Isn't it?" An Xiangchu hooked the corners of his lips, with some sarcasm.

He seemed to have forgotten that the emperor in front of him was the emperor who held the power of the world.

The emperor's eyes always fell on him, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

Finally, he waved his hand weakly, "You go." ”

Regarding the scene of the father-son confrontation in the palace, except for Cui Hai, no one knows.

In the Chengen Mansion, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect the conditions for choosing a relative to be so wide, not only the eldest and youngest grandmothers had a plan in their hearts. Among the relatives were the girls of the same age.

At the beginning, she wanted to tell her cousin to Xiao Wei, a wild species, but she didn't know that the eldest princess didn't let go, even the concubine in the palace didn't speak.

Later, my cousin couldn't wait to marry someone else, and now my mother's family has two sisters who meet the conditions very well.

It was not a good thing in the past, but now although it is said that there is a military feats to decorate the façade, it is a fake, and what is the difference from the past.

The conditions of these two sisters are more than enough.

The more I thought about it, the more satisfied I became, and I couldn't wait to go back to my parents' house to communicate.

Duchess Chengen is also thinking that there are a few nieces and nephews in her family who have not left the cabinet, maybe they can give it a try.

There is not only one company that has such thoughts.

Xiao Wei didn't pay attention to these, and chose his relatives, hehe, and chose him as an ancestor.

Xu Han's side didn't have any troubles because of Xiao Li's choice of relatives, but because she had something even more troublesome.

Before she went to the frontier, she found some clues about Xiao Wei's life experience, and she wanted to continue to investigate, but who knew that something like that happened in the frontier had no choice but to go to the border first.

was even more because he was seduced by beauty, and forgot to tell Xiao Wei the clues he found.

After that, because he was in the frontier, talking to Xiao Wei would only increase his troubles, so he simply hid the matter.

I just wanted to find a good opportunity to tell Xiao Wei, but I didn't expect that during this time to recuperate, I stayed at home every day, two days ago, Xu Mian quietly came to him and asked her what to do with the people who were placed in Wusan'an, after all, it has been closed for almost a year.

That place was the secret place left to Xu Han before Xu Xuan's death.

However, before going to see that person, Xu Han asked Xiao Wei to call him over.

Xiao Xiao thought that Xu Han was asking her about choosing a family, and as soon as she came, she swore that he would definitely solve this matter, he didn't want to choose a family, he just wanted to marry Xu Han.

Xu Han snorted and didn't answer, this kind of performance made Xiao Wei think more and more that she was angry, and she couldn't do it in a hurry.

He knew that Xu Han liked his face very much, and just wanted to make some beauty tricks or something, he saw Xu Han come over.

Xiao Wei was uncomfortable with her, and she couldn't use the beauty plan or anything, and she was a little fierce.

"Enough, I've already apologized, and besides, this thing is absolutely impossible, I heard that the second prince has already made trouble in front of the emperor, I don't know if this choice of relatives can be successful, you ...... Anyway, I just want you, not anyone else. ”

Xu Han smiled and didn't tease him, but asked, "Before leaving Beijing, didn't we say that we were going to check on your background?" ”

"I went to check, and the servants who served the eldest princess in the early years, as well as the generals who were on the horses, are almost gone."

"You know that?"

Xiao Wei frowned,

"My grandmother told me about this when she woke up at the time, and it seems that those generals and the like have followed my grandfather for many years, and they all have merits, some let them go home, and some recommended them to the Southern Army, so that they have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

"There are also some people, such as Bai Zhuo's father and the like, who follow me, but I don't love to serve either, only Bai Zhuo and a few little people follow."

Xu Han frowned, "That doesn't sound like a problem. ”

"But what about the maids and daughters around your grandmother? Except for the one she is waiting for now, who has accompanied His Highness since she was a child, the others have changed. ”

"And I can't find it!"

These were all found by Xu Han when he was in Beijing, but he didn't have time to tell Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei's brows were twisted into knots, he really hadn't paid attention to this.

Back then, the eldest princess of Shuyang and the concubine were all fought on the battlefield, and there were many people around him, after the death of the concubine, those families would return home and go to the army, which seemed normal to him.

Because this is the Xiao family's hole card, the background.

What's more, in today's Cheng'en Gong family, no one practices martial arts, so it's useless to ask for those generals.

As for Xiao Wei, only a small part was left.

Because after the eldest princess of Shuyang woke up, she looked normal, the people around her changed, and he also asked a word or two, all of them said that they were married to their families, and they went home.

Originally, there was a rule in the house, and the maid was matched when she was old, and the old one should also be honored.

Anyone can do daily service, and he doesn't care about it at all.

"The maids and daughters look inconspicuous, but they know best who the eldest princess lives in, and if there is any problem, they must know."

Xiao Wei glanced at Xu Han, "You say that, did you find a witness?" ”
