Bai and Dong Huijie, whose private affairs were exposed, seem to have finally had a tragic ending. And Mrs. Qishanbo, who thinks about getting rid of the son left by Yuan Pei all day long, is also "crazy" because of the loss of her son. This is the end of the scandal that happened in the Taoist temple in Zhoushan, and the turmoil caused by it is estimated that it will also subside, right?

Xie Mulin and his brothers listened to Xie Xianzhi's reading of the letter, and unsurprisingly learned that the eldest princess Yongning's family had a flat attitude towards Bai's death, and even some indifference. Xie Yinghui even went to the eldest princess's mansion to complain to Ma Yurong, and heard several housekeepers and mothers-in-law discussing in private, saying that the eldest princess of Yongning had begun to look for a new wife for Ma Ergongzi. However, at present, the girls of the Gaomen family in Jinling City have attracted the attention of the prince of the East Palace. Before the results of the concubine selection in the East Palace came out, there should not be many people who would explicitly marry their daughters to other men.

But the eldest princess of Yongning was not very angry, and from time to time she went into the palace to accompany the queen mother, and discussed with the queen mother which of the famous ladies who should be selected was better. Anyway, there will be no more than three people who will be selected in the end, the second prince is only fourteen years old, and he is not in a hurry to choose a daughter-in-law, and the rest of the ladies will definitely be put back to each family to marry. If there is a good one in it, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Yongning can completely pull it to their own house. The eldest princess of Yongning not only has a second son who has just lost his wife, but also a third son who is seventeen years old and has reached the age of marriage. Anyway, more than seventy percent of the unmarried girls who can match their brothers are on the shortlist for the selection of concubines in the East Palace. Of course, the eldest princess of Yongning should seize this opportunity and choose it well.

Xie Yinghui also laughed in the letter, saying that Ma Yurong had complained to her in private, her third brother and eldest brother and second brother have completely different temperaments, neither long-sleeved and good at dancing, nor do they like to make friends with people, drink and feast, bury themselves in painting all day long, and they don't understand the world at all. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor still liked him, an innocent and innocent little nephew, the family wouldn't know how he would live in the future. The daughter-in-law I found for this brother, if she is not shrewd and capable enough, I am afraid that she will not even be able to support her family in the future.

Ma Yurong quietly told Xie Yinghui that the eldest princess of Yongning had considered Lu Feiyun, but Lu Feiyun was only eleven years old this year, and his age was too far from Ma Sangongzi. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, she would not have been able to set such a little wife for her third son.

And Lu Feiyun quietly told Xie Yinghui that the eldest princess of Yongning had actually considered her, but after more contact, she found that she had too much temper, and she was afraid that her son would be bullied by her, so she also kicked her out of the list of daughters-in-law.

Xie Yinghui was angry and funny about this, and coquettishly told her brother in the letter, saying that she still thought that Ma San was a painting nerd, and she was not good-looking, and she had always been the object of dislike of little girls in the royal circle, so she was embarrassed to find fault with her?

Xie Xianzhi read the letter and looked at everyone with some embarrassment.

Wen and his younger siblings still had smiles on their faces, and they probably thought Xie Yinghui's words were funny.

After Xie Hanzhi finished laughing, he said quite seriously: "I have heard of Ma Sangongzi, he is a decent person, if the eldest sister can marry him, it is not a bad thing, he is much stronger than Cao Wenheng." ”

Wanqin showed an uncomfortable expression beside her, and she wanted to speak again. How noble was Cao Wenheng in the past? Praise from everyone. Ma Sangongzi is a well-known nerd, even if he is the son of the eldest princess, few people take him seriously. But now it is not what it used to be, Cao Wenheng's family is in the middle of the road, and he has a grudge with the queen and Chengenhou, and he has a reputation for straw bags, and his future has been cut off, how can he compare with the biological son of the eldest princess of Yongning? Even if Wanqin subconsciously wanted to defend the old master, she didn't dare to speak out at this moment.

Xie Yingfen blinked and asked Xie Xianzhi: "What else did the big sister say later?" It seems to be trying to mix up the topic, lest the birth mother really can't help but interject.

Xie Xianzhi changed a piece of letter paper and said with a smile: "What I said later is some rumors, it seems that Miss Ma told her." ”

It is said that she will live in the palace for two or three months and accept the assessment of the royal nobles in order to select the best lady and become the concubine of the prince of the East Palace. At the same time, there are also two seats for the side concubines to be selected. This is not the same as Empress Cao's original idea, but the emperor and the empress dowager both mean this, and Empress Cao has no reason to object.

Due to the death of Ping Nanbo, the children of the Cao family must observe filial piety, at least for a year. In this year, not only could they not participate in the East Palace's companion selection, but they also couldn't participate in the crown princess draft. This seems to have ruined Empress Cao's original plan, Cao Wentai couldn't be a companion, and Cao Wenluan couldn't enter the East Palace. Although Empress Cao and Chengenhou originally planned to let Cao Wenluan grow up a few years later before becoming the crown prince Liangdi. But if the East Palace chooses a concubine this time, and the positions of the crown princess and the prince Liangdi are all occupied, can you still be wronged by the daughter of the Chengenhou Mansion to be the prince Liangyuan, or even a concubine of a lower rank?

Anyway, Xie Yinghui heard the news of Queen Cao's recent temper from Ma Yurong, and she was still a little secretly happy in her heart. Ping Nanbo died at the hands of Empress Cao and Chengenhou, and when Xie Yinghui was brainwashed by her uncle's family in the past, she resented each other. Although he has come to his senses now, it seems that there is no need to change his opinion of Empress Cao.

Xie Yinghui has a good impression of the Zhao family who is said to be the princess and concubine, although she has not been able to talk to each other face-to-face in the Taoist Temple of Zhoushan, but a famous lady like Miss Zhao has been brushing her presence in the Jinling City boudoir circle since she was a child, and Xie Yinghui naturally knows something about her. In her opinion, to be worthy of being the crown princess and the future mother of the country, she must be a good girl who can't make mistakes. Miss Zhao has always had a perfect reputation, even in the circle of girlfriends, her popularity is not bad, which is very rare. If she really becomes the crown princess, she will simply cheapen the queen and the crown prince.

However, the prince doesn't seem to like this Miss Zhao very much. Recently, there are always rumors in the palace that the prince and other ladies have a good conversation, but they ignore Miss Zhao. Some people rumored in private that the prince knew about the rumors of Zhoushan, and thought that Miss Zhao's reputation was damaged, and he was disgusted. Empress Cao was very annoyed by this, and summoned the prince to Kunning Palace several times to speak, but then she became even more angry.

The crown prince even refused to be summoned twice, preferring to discuss matters with the officials of the East Palace. With such an attitude, not to mention that the queen became more and more irritable when she saw it, the Zhao family was also very unhappy when she heard about it. The son of the Zhao family, who was about to become a companion in the East Palace, seems to have taken a few days off, and may resign from his position as a companion at any time under the pretext of illness.

The queen tried her best to help the prince win over the Zhao family, and the effort seemed to be in vain.
