is only thirteen years old, where to consider what "lifelong events"! The prince shouted aggrievedly in his heart, but of course he didn't dare to say it, so he could only say, "Son...... The child was busy with reading and schoolwork, and did not ...... Didn't think about anything like that. ”

"That's right, you've been reading all the time, how can you have time to see which child's children are good-looking?" The queen was not surprised by his answer at all, but showed a smile that seemed to have succeeded in her plan, "So, my mother has also seen several daughters for you this time, you can take a look at them one by one and choose one you like." During the Chinese New Year, you have nothing to do on vacation anyway, so you can simply choose the future crown princess with your mother. ”

"......" The prince's throat was a little dry, and he always felt speechless, "Child...... The child has no opinion on this matter, everything is with the mother's meaning, the child listens to the mother, there is no need to choose. ”

"How can you easily dispose of your life's events? This princess can't be changed after she chooses, you have to choose carefully and make yourself satisfied, otherwise I will order one randomly, and you will not be satisfied, won't it delay the people on both sides? The queen frowned slightly, "Are you worried that others won't like you?" Silly boy, don't be afraid, you are so handsome, and you are a prince, how can anyone look down on you? ”

The prince's face was slightly red, and he didn't want to talk any more, but hung his head and only ate on eating, hoping that this dinner would end early, so as not to suffer any more.

However, the queen had already spoken energetically, and did not mean to sympathize with his mood at all, but continued to speak with great interest. "Don't think that my mother is talking nonsense, your wisdom has been spread outside the country, the envoy of Goryeo told me last time that the daughter of a prince of the royal family of their royal family was born with a beautiful face and gentle and graceful, because she admired the prince's good name, so she wanted to recommend it as a concubine...... Look at you, you're in high demand! ”

“…… Korea? As soon as he heard this word, the prince forgot the embarrassment in his heart and raised his head to look at the queen mother.

This one is really weird.

Since the establishment of the Great Han Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty attacked everywhere, deposed the then Goryeo lord Li Liang on the charge of cooperating with Manchuria, supported the deposed former lord Li Hui to regain the throne, and at the same time left a garrison and a mission in Goryeo for remote control.

Since he has the kindness of regaining the throne, the current lord Li Hui is naturally very grateful to the Han Dynasty, so he is very respectful to the Han Dynasty and obedient to the envoys stationed in Seoul. At the request of the Han Foreign Affairs Department, Goryeo also left a mission on the outskirts of the capital to receive information and orders from the Han Foreign Affairs Department at any time.

The current chief of this mission is called Li Ke, who is also a member of the Goryeo royal family, who is profoundly Chinese and has a humble and elegant personality, and never resists the orders of the imperial court, so he is quite popular with the Han court.

After the queen's explanation, the crown prince knew that a while ago, after this Li Ke received the information from the lord, he tried his best to meet the courtiers around the queen, and then reported the news that the lord of Goryeo wanted to present the daughter of the prince to the prince as a concubine.

"My son, the lord of Goryeo said that he had long admired the prince's good name, and originally wanted to use his daughter as the prince's concubine, but his children had already died young, so he had to choose two daughters with good looks and talents in the clan to serve the prince. The lord of Goryeo is so gracious, what do you think? After the queen finished explaining, she looked at the prince with a smile, as if waiting for him to nod. Goryeo is a small vassal state, although its lord has enjoyed the country for hundreds of years, and admires the cultural rules of the Han family, but after all, it is still a small vassal state, and it is impossible to choose a concubine, but it is not impossible to accept it as a concubine......"

Although she was ostensibly asking for the prince's opinion, judging from the queen's tone, she was more positive about the proposal, or at least did not oppose it.

However, unlike his mother's positive attitude, the prince's thoughts are much more complicated.

He has reached this age, and he also knows the obligations he carries, so he has no objection to having more concubines around him, but why the lord of Goryeo suddenly made this proposal is worth pondering.

Although he didn't know much about the lord of Goryeo, he also knew that he was a clever and cunning man, and when he was in power before, he was resented by the countrymen and ministers because of his perverse behavior, and was finally deposed, and was finally re-put on the throne by the Han Dynasty. And such a person, who took the initiative to post it and beg to send the sect girl to his side, would definitely not be as he said in his mouth, admiring his good name.

Is it because you know that I am about to go to Goryeo, so you will please yourself in advance? A thought suddenly flashed through the prince's mind.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong - his father said not long ago that he would send himself to Goryeo, and the state council within the Han court had only been held for a long time, and although there were many participants, they were all ministers of the court, and they would not know about keeping secrets. Moreover, judging from the distance between Dahan and Goryeo's Guanshan, he doesn't look like he got the news first, it should just be a coincidence.

It seems that he is trying to please himself.

The thought that a small foreign country would actually find a hollow out to curry favor with him suddenly made the crown prince feel a little happy in his heart - in his opinion, this incident was the same as his father letting him participate in the Council of State for the first time, which meant that the outside world recognized that he had grown up and could become an important figure at home and abroad.

But the excitement soon faded, and all that remained was suspicion.

Since this lord of Goryeo is secretly scheming, the gift he sent can't be ignored, besides, if he really accepts the daughter of the sect he sent, how should he get along with the lord of Goryeo in the future?

"What are I still hesitating about?" At this time, the queen looked at her hesitant son and asked suspiciously, "I have always heard that the Goryeo girl is fair-skinned and tall, and her temperament is also very virtuous and quiet, plus she is the identity of the sect daughter, it is not disqualified to serve you?" Besides, I heard that during the Yuan Dynasty, there were many Goryeo women in the palace......"

The crown prince hesitated, then looked up at his father, and then found that his father was still talking and laughing with the imperial concubine and Meng Huifei, and did not pay attention to this side, as if he hadn't heard it.

Did my father tell me to make my own decisions...... The prince thought to himself.

That's right, I'm already at this age, and this kind of thing should be decided by myself.

"Queen Mother, Da Yuan is Da Yuan, this dynasty is this dynasty, not the same day......" After thinking for a while, the prince became bold and politely refused his mother's request, "Erchen is still young now, and I feel that it is not necessary to lead the daughter of the Goryeo sect...... Besides, the retainer will have to go to Goryeo soon, and this trip is very important, and if you keep the daughter of the Goryeo clan with you, it may hinder state affairs......"

"Are you still young? It's fourteen after the New Year, prince, you're not in a hurry, can't you be a mother to help you worry? The queen didn't take the prince's defense to heart at all, "You're going to Goryeo, I know, isn't that really good?" If they want to give you the daughter of the sect, you won't have to worry about being accompanied by someone who knows the place when you get there......"

The queen's voice was not big or small, just enough for the people around to hear, so the prince became more and more embarrassed, he moistened his somewhat dry throat, and then boldly continued, "Queen Mother, the sons heard that the lord of Goryeo was tyrannical and tyrannical when he was in power before, and he had a conspiracy appearance, and even ignored the kindness of the Ming Dynasty for the restoration of the country of Goryeo. The ministers were forced to attack him, and finally removed him from the throne and sent him to the island, blinding his eyes...... Though...... Although he was reinstated with the help of our court, and with the assistance of the mission, his reign has now been much smoother, but it is inevitable that his people will be treacherous, and it is better not to have too much to do with him if he goes to Goryeo, otherwise if he has any scruples, it will not be beautiful. ”

After Li Hui, the king of Guanghai, succeeded to the throne, he was indeed perverse and very brutal, not only killing ministers, but also his elder brother and younger brother, which was really very brutal and lost the hearts of the people in the country. Therefore, he was overthrown by Li Liang and the ministers, and it cannot be said that the ministers were wrong.

However, after forcibly abolishing Li Liang on the charge of communicating with the founding of the state, the Han Dynasty returned the Gwanghaejun who had been exiled to the island for several years after much consideration.

It's not that everyone doesn't know that he has a bad reputation, but it is precisely because of the fact that he has caused resentment among the people of Goryeo that he was deliberately reinstated-first, he can occupy a righteous position to restore orthodoxy, and second, the unpopular lord of Goryeo can only rely more on the mission and garrison to maintain his shaky position.

The crown prince didn't dare to say this kind of consideration openly, but his meaning was already very clear, the lord of Goryeo had a bad reputation at home and abroad, and he must have hidden something, so it was better not to send anything he sent.

Such a straightforward refusal was the first time she said it in front of her mother, so she was a little surprised and stopped talking at once.

This moment of silence almost made the prince think that his mother was already angry,

"My son has some opinions, okay, if you don't want any Goryeo daughters, my mother won't force you." To the prince's surprise, the queen didn't urge him anymore, but slowed down her tone, "Goryeo is a vassal country, and it's not very reassuring for people from foreign countries to say anything, so don't want it." But ......"

The heart that the prince had just put down was lifted again.

"However, your big event can't be delayed any longer, so let's let people look for the nobles from each family, as long as there are suitable candidates, they will all be written down, and then carefully selected one by one, you can see for yourself, and we will give the candidates within a year! When you're fifteen years old, you'll be married, and you won't be able to delay for a moment! ”
