Concubine Cen couldn't help but sigh: "Another one." ”

As Xiao Lingyan's health is getting better and better, Cen Guifei often has a decree here to bring her daughter and granddaughter to ask her for peace, the purpose is obvious, that is, she wants to give her daughter and granddaughter to King Qi as side concubines.

Even Zhao Ruxi, Xiao Lingyan's daughter-in-law who is seriously married, and the wife who is highly valued by the emperor and is now giving her and Xiao Lingyan a raised face, has not yet had a round house, where is Cen Guifei willing to let the side concubine enter the door?

She also wants Zhao Ruxi to give her a super smart grandson.

Therefore, she pushed away the people who came in front of her for various reasons.

It's just that it's a little tricky for those who come now.

It's not that Mrs. Tao is too powerful, but her husband, Tao Jian, who was newly promoted to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, Cen Guifei was reluctant to let Xiao Lingyan give up.

Tao Jian was originally a general, no less brave than Fu Dayong, he had been in all armies, and he was a very prestigious and capable person.

It was only because he was seriously injured that his health had been bad since he was rescued and he could no longer go to the battlefield, so the emperor transferred him back to the capital and entered the military department.

Because he was loyal to the emperor and was not co-opted by the prince, he had been suppressed by the military department Shangshu who belonged to the prince's line. After the rebellion, the emperor saw that he was flexible and resourceful, and he was very familiar with the situation in various places and the situation of the soldiers, so he promoted him to be the secretary of the military department.

Now General Tao and Lady Tao's eldest son are in the southwest, staying with the concubine of the eldest princess of Shangde. Their youngest daughter is fifteen years old this year and has not yet been married, and Mrs. Tao's purpose today is probably this little daughter named Tao Tao.

"Please let her in." Cen Guifei rubbed her eyebrows and said.

After a while, a woman in her forties came in with a dozen little girls and greeted Concubine Cen Guifei.

Cen Guifei raised her hand, looked at the little girl with a round face and round eyes, and asked knowingly, "Is this ......?"

"This is my youngest daughter, Tao Tao." Mrs. Tao smiled.

Tao Tao hurriedly stepped forward to greet Cen Guifei.

Although she is fifteen years old, Tao Tao still has some baby fat on her face, and she has a little flesh on her body, her round eyes are bent into crescents when she laughs, and there is a small pear vortex on her face, which looks like a pleasing little girl.

Cen Guifei's first impression of her was very good.

She pulled Tao Tao and praised her sincerely, and gave a meeting gift, and Mrs. Tao and Tao Tao sat down at her signal.

Although Mrs. Tao is a woman married by Tao Jian in other places, she is not from a big family in Beijing, but she has been in Beijing with her husband for three or four years, except for the accent and some foreign accents, she is no different from Mrs. of the Beijing family in other aspects.

Tao Tao entered Beijing at the age of eleven, had the careful upbringing of her mother, and stayed in the capital for a few years, and her speech and demeanor were also very good, which made Cen Guifei's impression better and better.

“…… I was worried about my mother, but I was afraid of disturbing my mother's tranquility, so I didn't dare to disturb it. No, our adult clan brought some tuyi from our hometown, thinking that Niangniang might not have tasted it, so I brought it over to give Niangniang a taste. This is what Mrs. Tao said.

She didn't mention Tao Tao's marriage for half a word, only greeted Concubine Cen and her body and Xiao Lingyan's body, chatted a few more words, and then said goodbye with interest.

Asking the little eunuch to send them out, Cen Guifei smiled and said to Aunt Yu: "Look, this is a smart person." but brought the girl to me, and pleased me. When I really pick a side concubine for Xiao Wu, can I not pick what I like? ”

"It's like the previous ones, they are all praising how good their girls are, so they almost said that they were going to give Xiao Wu as a concubine. With such a mother, no matter how good-looking the girl is and how virtuous she is, I can't agree. ”

"That's it." Aunt Yu smiled, "Niangniang is a sensible and kind mother-in-law, how can she not hope that her son is good, and pick a troublemaker in the mansion, and make trouble in the backyard of the Qi Wangfu every day?" If this is the case, the emperor will not agree. ”

"You see how capable Princess Qi is now, she will set up a farm tool in ten days and half a month, and the emperor will send rewards to the Qi Palace. If King Qi takes a concubine and tosses all day long, and Princess Qi bothers to take care of the backyard, and there is no way to calm down and set up farm tools, maybe the emperor will blame you Niangniang. ”

Aunt Yu walked to the Qi Palace, and she had a very good impression of Zhao Ruxi. On the surface, he was thinking about Concubine Cen Guifei, but he was still helping Zhao Ruxi speak inside.

In Aunt Yu's cognition, it is inevitable for the prince to take a concubine, and it is impossible for her to persuade Cen Guifei not to give Xiao Lingyan a concubine. But persuade Cen Guifei to choose carefully, pick two or three knowledgeable and reasonable people, and let Zhao Ruxi have a better life, she can still do it.

Sure enough, hearing Aunt Yu's words, Cen Guifei's expression turned grim.

"If you don't say it, I really didn't expect this stubble." Cen Guifei's mind was a little retreating as soon as she first got up.

After thinking about it, Cen Guifei was reluctant to the Tao family.

If her son accepts Tao Tao, is she still afraid of the potential threats of the Six Princes?

The emperor's body is fine, and the six princes will eventually grow up. What if Xiao Lingyan is made a prince? Didn't the former prince be killed by the third prince anyway?

After thinking for a while, Cen Guifei said, "I haven't seen Xiao Wu for a long time. Ming'er, you ask him to come to the palace, and our mother and son will talk about it. ”

"As for Madame Tao, if she asks someone to ask you what I think, you tell her that I like her daughter. But King Qi is not in good health, and he and the princess have not yet had a round house, so I look forward to them having a round house so that they can hold their eldest grandson. ”

Aunt Yu bowed her head and responded: "Yes, Niangniang, the slave and maid remember." ”

Now Xiao Lingyan is in good health and has begun to go to court. The next day, after he got off the court, he went directly to Cen Guifei.

After greeting each other's bodies, Xiao Lingyan asked, "Mother, what is the matter with you calling me over?" ”

Cen Guifei told Mrs. Tao and Tao Tao about it.

"Some time ago, many people came to the door with their girls. Mother knows that you have a good relationship with Zhiwei, and you don't have a round house now, so naturally you won't stuff people to disturb your little couple. ”

"But you know Tao Shangshu from the Ministry of War, right? In the past, the prince didn't waver in wooing him, but now it's rare for him to take the initiative to show goodwill, and the four girls in his family are beautiful, lively and cute, I think you can think about it after you have a round house with Zhiwei. ”

"If you think it's okay, just give your mother a word, and I'll get to the bottom of the Tao family. lest Tao Shangshu think that we would not accept his kindness, and marry the four girls in a fit of anger. ”

As soon as Xiao Lingyan heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a cold face.

"When I married Zhiwei, I told you that I wouldn't take a concubine, do you remember? I still mean it that way. He said lightly, "When someone comes to you and says this, you refuse it all for me." ”
