Emperor Ming Yuan was a little unhappy in his heart, and the appetite of the Marquis of Zhenbei was too great, although he was now crowned as a marquis, but before he went to Zhenbei, he was only a general.

Although he has made a lot of contributions in recent years, the court has not treated his family badly, and his mother has been awarded a first-class edict, what a glory is this?

It's just that Emperor Ming Yuan is used to dealing with all kinds of courtiers, so he just shook his head slightly and said: "Young man, she always likes to be angry, I asked her to go back to her parents' house to reflect on it, and after reflection, she will naturally adopt her heart." ”

Zhenbei Hou also smiled slightly, "Really? Let's see, but, in the end, it is the family affair of the King of Chu, the minister is not good to say, by the way, the emperor said that he would marry the little girl Guangting, I don't know which family's son? Don't laugh at the emperor, the little girl has been willful since she was a child, and she can't look down on the ordinary. ”

In other words, if it weren't for the prince's concubine, he wouldn't have considered it.

Emperor Ming Yuan was not in a hurry, took a teacup, took a sip slowly, and said: "Marriage is a big deal, since it is a big event, you naturally have to ask Master Hou first, the candidate is undecided, but yesterday Concubine Xian invited Miss Hu into the palace to talk, the two of them are very deed, and they look a little fateful." ”

Zhenbei Hou said directly: "The minister also heard what the little girl said about this, and the little girl really admires Concubine Xian Niangniang very much, she said that if she is blessed to be the real daughter-in-law of Concubine Xian, it will be the best." ”

"A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, and there is a real fake?" Emperor Ming Yuan pretended not to understand, and he was false and wronged.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was refreshed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is such a daughter, so she is naturally reluctant to be wronged, since she said that she wants to marry the king of Chu, then it must be the concubine of the king of Chu, and the minister can't wronged her as a concubine." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the cheeky face of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he was angry, but it was really direct, the fierce folk customs of Zhenbei raised him to be fierce and bold.

Emperor Ming Yuan faintly regretted it in his heart, he should have heard the bastard boy of the fifth child say that he recognized Hu Guangting as a righteous daughter, and then gave him the title of a princess, things would be easier to do than now.

Originally, I thought that the Houmen of Zhenbei was not high, and the ancestors had not produced a few high-ranking heroes, even if they were a prince's side concubine, it was not a grievance.

It seems that people's hearts are insufficient.

Emperor Ming Yuan put down the teacup and said lightly: "The king of Chu already has a concubine, and the royal family can't do anything to take the son and go to the mother. ”

Zhenbeihou did not panic at all, and retreated.

Chu Wang Yu Wenhao, since he has taken a fancy to it, he must be the son-in-law of his Zhenbei Marquis.

After he returned home, his mother inevitably wanted to ask.

The old lady is also anxious about her granddaughter's marriage, she is seventeen years old, and if she doesn't get married, she will become an old woman.

Zhenbei Hou said happily: "Mother, you can rest assured, you will definitely be satisfied with this grandson-in-law." ”

"Which son did the emperor promise, tell me quickly." The old lady asked.

The Marquis of Zhenbei sat down domineeringly, "Chu King Yu Wenhao, mother, this King of Chu is outstanding, smart and decisive, and he is a good Miaomiao." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "What is a good Miaomiao?" Nonsense, people are princes, the granddaughter of the old body, if you want to marry, you have to marry someone with good character, whether he is outstanding or not. ”

"Character is naturally good." The Marquis of Zhenbei said complacently, "It's just that the emperor still has to spend some effort, he doesn't want to ask Ting'er to be the main concubine, so he promised the position of a side concubine, which is naturally not uncommon." ”

"Side concubine? This King of Chu married a concubine? The old lady was stunned for a moment.

The grandmother beside her hurriedly whispered in her ear: "Old lady, have you forgotten? The one who saved you in the Mingyue Nunnery was the princess of Chu. ”

Where does the old lady dare to forget her benefactor? It's just that he didn't associate his benefactor with the king of Chu for a while, and when he heard his grandmother's reminder, he hurriedly said, "I remember, I remember." ”

The Marquis of Zhenbei was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What Princess Chu?" Who saved you? Mother, what's wrong with you? ”

The old lady then told everything in the Mingyue Nunnery, and sighed: "If it weren't for her, how could your mother see you return now?" Now I'm afraid the corpses stink. ”

Zhenbei Hou Qi said: "There is such a thing? Then this princess of Chu is the benefactor of our family. ”

"Isn't it?" The old lady said.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was melancholy, "If she is a benefactor, how can you ask her to give way?" We Ting'er can't be a side concubine, or give her a little benefit and settle her for the rest of her life, if she gives birth to a child, she will definitely be regarded as her own child. ”

"Give way?" When the old lady heard this, she was furious, "How dare you do such an unethical thing? I still have to go to the mother and leave the child, I can tell you that I am ashamed of you. ”

Seeing that his mother was angry, Zhenbei Hou naturally didn't dare to say any more, so he said with a smile: "If you don't mention it, you won't mention it, so how about calling her a side concubine?" Waiting is a person who has no interest, and waiting for the door of the mansion family, being a side concubine can be regarded as a promotion. ”

"Shut up!" The old lady slapped her at the moment, "The concubine is doing a good job, do you have to break up the husband and wife?" It's not like no one wants our court. ”

Zhenbei Hou saw that his mother was so angry, afraid that she would have a heart attack, so he hurriedly helped to reassure, "Okay, it's my son who said wrong, my son shut up, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger." ”

The old lady was still angry, "If you dare to mention it again, I will break your leg." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Zhenbei Hou sat down, but he still couldn't help but say: "It's just, can't you ask our court to be a concubine?" ”

"Does it have to be someone who marries the royal family?" The old lady said angrily: "Does the royal family have gold to pick up or what?" One by one, they all sharpened their heads and squeezed in, the royal family may not all be young, and the families outside may not all be gentlemen. ”

Zhenbei Hou sighed and said: "Mother, what you said is right, but yesterday Ting'er came back from the palace and said that she wanted to marry into the royal family. ”

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "The king of Chu has already married a concubine, and the old man has heard that King Huai has not yet arrived, so why don't you ask King Huai?" ”

"If you can't conceive the king, you are a tuberculosis ghost, who knows when you will return to the west?" Zhenbei Hou waved his hand again and again, "No, if you marry for less than two years, there will be no people, wouldn't it be a widow." ”

The old lady thinks about it, this widow will inevitably lose the reputation of Kefu, and if she becomes a royal wife, it will be difficult to find another one after being widowed, and you don't have to be an ordinary person's family.

"Then, be a side concubine...... the old lady hesitated, "That princess of Chu has a kind character, if Ting'er can follow such a housewife, maybe life will be better, then the king of Chu will see that he has a great future, if he can ascend to the big treasure in the future, he will be a noble concubine." ”

Although the Marquis of Zhenbei did not reach the ideal in his heart, he respected his mother and said: "Then ask Ting'er to come out and ask if you are willing, if you are willing, your son will go to the palace, and the emperor actually means the same today." ”
