Chapter 263: Preference
,
Xie Qiao couldn't help but sympathize with Zhao Xuanjing, no wonder he couldn't live in this East Palace, these big and small evils add up to a lot, and if he can live until now, it is because he has the protection of the dragon vein, and his own luck is strong enough!
Xie Qiao's face was complicated, and the palace maid next to him felt that this Xie girl was very strange.
His Royal Highness had explained to her earlier and asked her to take Miss Xie around, so early this morning, she inquired about Miss Xie's appearance, and then stood nearby, waiting for Miss Xie to speak.
But she thought she was going to take a stroll......
It is to visit the garden, look at the flowers and grass, and meet any requirements in time.
But thank you for the girl's shopping, it's really a shopping!
She came out of that garden and almost saw the size of the East Palace!
What shocked her even more was that Miss Xie still had a pen and paper with her...... Small compass.
She muttered something in her mouth, and then lowered her head and wrote and drew on the paper, some of which were words, and some of which were drawings, and she couldn't understand the picture, but inexplicably felt that this girl was very mysterious!
"Miss Xie, the hour is almost up, do you want to go back and rest?" The palace maid asked cautiously.
Xie Qiao looked at the sun, warm.
In fact, she is not very tired, she will sit down and rest after walking a few steps, this little palace maid has also been instructed, and she has taken shortcuts, and Zhao Xuanjing has also prepared the drawings of the prince's mansion in advance, and she has already counted it in her heart.
"The crown prince's selection of concubines is almost starting now, right? What is the process? I'm going to pick a result today, right? Xie Qiao asked.
"It has already started since entering the palace, and the selection of concubines this time is different from before, in fact, there is no process, as long as His Royal Highness likes it." The palace maid smiled, "His Royal Highness actually chose once in the sixteenth year, at that time, the unmarried daughters, sisters, nieces and granddaughters of the hundred officials could all participate in the election, and they were screened layer by layer, and finally a few were selected, all of them were beautiful, and the portraits were sent to His Highness, but something happened at that time, and His Highness did not choose anyone." ”
Xie Qiao was still curious: "What happened?" ”
The palace maid hesitated.
But thinking of His Royal Highness's instructions, Miss Xie answered when she asked, and then said: "At that time, His Royal Highness was not involved with one of the women, and he was bumped into by His Highness. ”
At that time, the selection of concubines was originally for the prince, but other princes also had a share.
After the emperor chooses the crown prince, if he thinks it is appropriate, it is normal to set it for other princes.
But before the prince was chosen, His Royal Highness got along with one of the women, obviously slapped the prince in the face, and His Royal Highness was also very temperamental at that time, so he directly refused to choose a concubine.
"Second Highness? Why haven't I heard of it? Xie Qiaohu asked.
After coming to Beijing, she had heard about the prince and ...... Four Highnesses.
When I was cleaning the stables earlier, I also met a person named Meng Jifang, who seemed to be a relative of His Royal Highness.
But the other princes really haven't heard of it.
The palace maids were surprised.
When I came to the Prince's Mansion, I didn't even know about these old things?
"The emperor doted on the prince, and His Royal Highness embarrassed the prince at that time, which directly angered His Majesty, and later found a reason to be imprisoned." The palace maid said in a sneer.
"......" Xie Qiao was extremely surprised.
"Is there another Third Highness then?" Xie Qiao said again.
"Yes, Third Highness...... Abolished as a concubine. "The palace maid's words are amazing.
Seeing that Xie Qiao was puzzled and curious, the palace maid simply explained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince injured his leg when he was twelve years old, and at that time, His Royal Highness didn't know how to comfort his brother, and he was still privately mocking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for being a waste person from now on. ”
