Chapter 158: Roster
After Qingrou left the Yangrong Hall, she entered the palace and went straight to the Guanghua Palace.
Concubine Zhu Guifei was thinking about the roster, and the emperor wanted to choose concubines for several sons, and this errand was handed over to her. Today, the biological mothers of several princes sent a roster, all of which are the favorite candidates of the princes.
She glanced at them one by one, and there was no problem with anything else, the only problem was that Lin Yanyan was actually selected by several princes. This gave her a headache.
Lin Yanyan hurt Zhu Ziyu and her Zhu family so badly, she couldn't do anything with Lin Yanyan in order to show her generosity, but now Lin Yanyan has won the hearts of the queen mother and the emperor, and has become the object of competition among the princes. She can't let Lin Yanyan marry into the royal family no matter what, even Xiao Hao, the eighth child who has been following Han'er. This woman is too powerful, and the eighth child can't hold her at all.
But on what grounds should she get rid of Lin Yanyan? If the reason is not sufficient, the emperor still thinks that she has a grudge against Lin Yanyan and takes the opportunity to take revenge.
"Concubine Niangniang, the county lord of Qingrou asks to see you." Gong E came to report.
Zhu Guifei said: "Let her in." β
Suddenly, Qingrou entered the hall, smiled and said crisply: "Guifei Niangniang, Qingrou has come to greet you." β
Zhu Guifei smiled: "What kind of wind blew you here?" β
"East wind." Qingrou said playfully.
Zhu Guifei Wan'er: "You came just in time, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the palace wants to invite a few famous ladies to sit in the palace, you help the palace to refer to the details." β
"Okay, Qingrou will help her mother take a look, most of the famous ladies in the capital, Qingrou know a thing or two." The words of the concubine Niangniang are in the middle of the soft heart.
Concubine Zhu asked Gong'e to give the roster to Qingrou.
Qingrou glanced at it and pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Why is Lin Yanyan also on the roster? β
"Any questions?" Zhu Guifei remained silent.
"Of course there is a problem, the problem is big, concubine Niangniang, haven't you heard that Lin Yanyan ordered the husband and wife palace to marry early?"
Zhu Guifei was surprised: "Is there anything else?" Don't spread the word out there. β
"Guifei Niangniang, Qingrou doesn't know where this rumor came from, but now it has spread all over the capital, everyone knows it, and they all say that Lin Yanyan ordered to commit the husband and wife palace, and it is not suitable to marry early, twenty years ago, the marriage was fixed, and the door was destroyed, either the husband died or the disaster came, do you think, didn't Lin Yanyan marry Brother Ziyu before? Not long after Ding'anhou was killed, Brother Ziyu and the Jin Mansion were also affected by her, and the rumors were true. Qingrou said matter-of-factly.
Zhu Guifei couldn't help frowning, and muttered: "It seems to be like this." β
"Concubine Niangniang, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not, otherwise something will really happen in the future, and I won't blame you?"
Zhu Guifei was secretly happy, she really just wanted to doze off when someone sent a pillow, and this gust of east wind sent Qingrou to her and solved a big problem for her.
"It's just that if Lin Yanyan is removed, I don't know who to replace it with." Zhu Guifei was embarrassed.
Qingrou blinked: "If the concubine can trust me, I will recommend a few candidates to the concubine to ensure that the appearance is outstanding and the character is good." β
Qingrou took the opportunity to recommend Yu Wanwan, and Zhu Guifei thought about it and nodded.
Qingrou continued to look down: "Guifei Niangniang, why is the name of the tenth cousin blank?" β
Zhu Guifei sighed: "The palace has already informed Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian has not sent the roster for a long time. I don't know what she thinks in her heart, whether it's hard to decide or ......"
Qingrou naturally knew that Concubine Xian and Xiao Qian, the mother and son, were incompatible, and everyone in the palace knew it. Concubine Xian Niangniang just didn't care about Xiao Qian's affairs at all.
But it's none of her business, and the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine have never dealt with each other much, so she won't talk much.
Concubine Xian's side is really not careless this time, Concubine Xian listened to the persuasion of the fourth child, and she is indeed serious in finalizing the candidate, but she is hesitant in the candidate, picking too good, afraid that the old ten will overshadow the fourth, picking the average, and afraid that the old ten will not help the fourth, it is too difficult.
The prince has a great way to choose a concubine, who doesn't want to increase his strength and consolidate his position through marriage?
Therefore, Concubine Xian called the fourth child into the palace and asked the fourth child to help with the details.
As soon as Xiao Qing heard that his mother concubine called him for the tenth brother's marriage, he said, "Why didn't the mother concubine announce the tenth brother enter the palace and ask the tenth brother what he meant?" β
"Ask him what to do? Marriage matters, parents are in charge, Qing'er, you are his brother, you are the same for him, Qing'er, do you think it is more beneficial for you to marry whoever the tenth marries. β
Xiao Qing couldn't cry or laugh, this is the tenth brother's choice of concubine, and now it is the same as his choice of concubine.
However, I think that my tenth brother has never paid attention to women's affairs, and there is not even a maid at home, so it is estimated that if I ask the tenth brother, the tenth brother will not be able to come up with a charter, but he really has to help him with this matter.
Xiao Qing thought for a while and said: "The tenth brother has been in the army, and he wants to go back to the barracks, and Erchen thinks that he may like the young lady of the military attachΓ©'s family, this Dongping Bo, the young lady of the Yongning Bo family, Erchen thinks it is appropriate." β
Concubine Xian pondered, isn't what Qing'er lacks is the power in the army? If Lao Shi can take the young ladies of these two families, it will be helpful to Qing'er.
"Okay, then there are two of them, there are still two missing, and the mother concubine is in charge of herself."
The two families of Dongpingbo and Yongningbo are eye-catching enough, and the surname Zhu asked her to draw up a roster of four people, and she will find two people with ordinary family backgrounds to hand them in.
"Go back, you talk to your tenth brother, and when the time comes, choose one of these two young ladies, don't be confused." Concubine Xian explained.
