Chapter 188: The Eldest Princess's Marriage
Li Guanqi just sat down. You Haogu asked the eunuch to pass the three horse candidates forward.
The three young men dressed in brocade robes rushed in, came to Li Guanqi and Empress Dowager You, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Long live the Emperor and the Queen Mother!" ”
"Raise your head!" Empress Dowager You knew that one of the three would be her beloved son-in-law, and her expression was also pleasant, and she raised her hand.
The three young men obeyed Yi's order and bowed again, and then they stood up and stood there without squinting.
Li Guanqi raised his eyes and found that these three candidates really couldn't find anything wrong with their appearance, they were all beautiful, slender, and extraordinary, and the three words "rich and handsome" at least accounted for "high" and "handsome"!
Empress Dowager You took a closer look, nodded with a smile, and said to Li Guanqi: "It seems that Uncle Guo is really thinking about it, these three people, the mourning family looks very pleasing to the eye." ”
Li Guanqi wanted to mess up this matter, but at least in terms of appearance, he really couldn't say anything against it, so he wanted to get to the bottom of it and see if he could cut these people to a pulp, so he asked the most handsome one on the far left, "What's your name?" ”
You Haogu hurriedly replied beside him: "Go back to the emperor!" This person's name is Cheng Zhiyuan, he is the sixth eldest grandson of Pingyang Hou Chengxiu, eighteen years old this year, although Qianwei participated in the provincial examination in the first year of high school, but he did not say anything about his literary talent, as for his character and appearance, he is even more outstanding! ”
Li Guanqi heard it, okay, after the founding fathers, he was handsome and knowledgeable, and he failed in last year's provincial examination, probably because he wantonly suppressed Jiangnan Province candidates. How do you find a thorn in this? I had to frown slightly and said to the Empress Dowager You: "This person looks good, but he is a little younger, right?" This royal sister is a full three years younger. ”
"It's okay! There is also a saying among the folk that 'female juniors, hugging gold bricks', so that you won't bully your royal sister if you are smaller! Empress Dowager You looked at this Cheng Zhiyuan and was also very satisfied.
Li Guanqi saw that things were not good, if it was finalized like this, Zhao Zheng and Li Xiuxin would not be able to explain it themselves, but this little brother is really not good at finding faults. After the light rushes at the people who are expensive for meritorious service. If you are willing to read well, it is worth affirming! Li Guanqi had nothing to do, so he had to ask casually: "Cheng Zhiyuan, after you are the founding prince, you have your own title to attack, why do you still want to try the imperial examination?" ”
Cheng Zhiyuan bowed down and said: "The grass people can't attack the lord, so they have to come from the imperial examination!" "He has no official status, so he doesn't dare to be a minister.
"Huh?" Li Guanqi was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously. "The eldest son can't attack the knight? Are you a concubine? ”
Cheng Zhiyuan's face turned slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "The grass people are not concubines!" But...... But the grass people's mother, yes, she remarried her father! ”
Li Guanqi let out an "oh", and just wanted to ask again, but when he saw that Empress Dowager You, who had been looking at Cheng Zhiyuan and nodding again and again, heard this, her face was a little unhappy. She frowned slightly, and leaned slightly towards Li Guanqi. He said in a low voice: "Emperor, Xiuxin will marry you." is a member of his Cheng family, who wants to worship his in-laws, and Cheng Zhiyuan's mother is a woman who dips again. If a woman remarries, she loses her virtue. Wouldn't it be shameful for the eldest princess to worship an unruly woman as her mother-in-law? The mourners felt that he was not a suitable candidate for a colt! ”
Li Guanqi actually didn't care about whether Cheng Zhiyuan's mother remarried at all, but he was worried about how to mess up this drama of the princess choosing a concubine. It's rare for the Queen Mother to take the initiative to object, and he didn't hurry up to get off the donkey? nodded again and again at the moment, and said with a righteous face: "What the queen mother said!" He doesn't fit! Square peg! ”
Li Guanqi moved his gaze to the young man in the middle, who was also very handsome, but his complexion was slightly dark. The lines on his face are also hard, and if he had to choose an ugly one among the three, it would be him. The hardest one has been solved, and it's relatively easy to deal with this one now.
"Who is this guy in the middle? How about family history? Li Guanqi asked You Haogu directly this time.
You Haogu hurriedly replied: "This person's name is Zhao Ganglie, and his father is a colonel of the Right Yingwei in the Twelve Guards of the Beijing Division, and this kid is a ...... who practices both literature and martial arts."
"Gotcha! The family background is innocent, the person is not bad, he is still a civil and military all-rounder, it is also a difficult bone to gnaw......" Li Guanqi pouted involuntarily.
Empress Dowager You didn't pay attention to Zhao Ganglie because his appearance was not delicate enough, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, "Although the family background is not good, but the Jiangmen Huzi is a civil and military all-rounder, and it is not an insult to Xiuxin......"
Before Empress Dowager You finished speaking, she heard You Haogu say again, "Although this kid is said to be able to write and martial arts, but because he is still young, he has many skills to practice, and he has not yet been proficient in martial arts. ”
Empress Dowager You didn't take much fancy to this Zhao Ganglie, but when she heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned cold, and she said to Li Guanqi: "What kind of civil and military all-rounder, the mourning family looks at him as a bottle of dissatisfaction, half a bottle of swaying!" The mourning family doesn't like him, your sister can't marry this kind of person! ”
Li Guanqi was already happy in his heart at this time, and nodded again and again and said, "You can't get married!" Can't get married! While looking back at You Haogu, this guy can't know his own thoughts, right? Or is it because Zhao Ganglie didn't stuff him with red envelopes? How do you feel that he is deliberately rectifying Zhao Ganglie? However, in any case, the matter of choosing a colt is one step closer to being stirred up.
Li Guanqi forced a smile, set his eyes on the third teenager again, and then asked You Haogu, "What about this person?" Why did I look at him as if he was a little inadequate? On this cold day, he was still sweating! ”
You Haogu said with a smile: "This person's name is Liu Shui, he is the only son of the late old Xiangguo Liu Shuolin, and he is also a jinshi in the twenty-fourth year of Shengyuan. He is a scholar, his body is naturally not very strong, and the weather is not good for a while, I think he is infected with some wind cold, plus facing the Queen Mother and the Emperor, it is inevitable that he is a little nervous, so he is a little sweaty! ”
"Willow Water? You just called Yoo Yongde! Li Guanqi just wanted to find fault with this Liu Gongzi's body, but he heard Empress Dowager You speak, "Well, this kid has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, has won the Jinshi, and his literary talent is also good. Speaking of body bones, being a colt does not require him to be a coolie, how many of those scholars have good body and bones? According to the mourning family, choose him! (To be continued......)
