289: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
The eldest princess didn't expect the third prince to ask for marriage so directly in public.
"What's going on?"
The fourth prince rushed to show his heart, "Auntie, my nephew also wants to marry my cousin, you can marry my cousin, my nephew must treat my cousin well!" ”
The third prince had chest tightness.
The smile on the eldest princess's face deepened.
"You two, such a headless and brainless person, why did you suddenly say that you want to marry Roujia? I only have one daughter, how can I marry the two of you, and I can't let the two of you have the final say on the marriage matter, and I have to ask Your Majesty and your mother for their opinions. ”
The third prince didn't want to ask for marriage today, he was here to send charcoal in the snow, not to finalize his marriage.
But he will not let the four princes take the lead.
At this time, Roujia was at a low point, and the eldest prince and the second prince avoided it, and whoever asked to marry first would be the most sincere in the eyes of the eldest princess.
Although the third prince was provoked by the fourth prince when he opened his mouth at this time, he did not regret it, and his face was sincere: "My heart, my mother also knows everything, my mother always respects my preferences, I married my cousin is a kiss, and the mother will only be happy." ”
The fourth prince laughed, "Third brother, I heard that you only accepted two beautiful concubines from the south, if you are happy with your cousin, how can you take a concubine before marrying the main concubine?" ”
The eldest princess's gaze fell on the third prince.
"Is that really the case?"
"Aunt Mingjian, there are indeed two servants around my nephew, but they are not beautiful concubines, if my cousin doesn't like it, my nephew will send people away when he goes home-"
"Okay, you are a noble stomach, a dignified prince, and it is not like a person who is not waiting for you."
The eldest princess didn't care about these things at all, what she cared about was whether the third prince would lie.
Fortunately, the third prince was quite honest, and the eldest princess gently revealed it and did not mention it.
Don't look at the four princes using this matter to attack the third prince, that is, the fourth prince himself, who is already sixteen years old, and Concubine Ning has also arranged for the palace maid to teach the fourth prince Dunlun.
The eldest prince and the second prince are also, both of them are over twenty years old, and it is not good to set up a side concubine and Ming Huanghuang to take a concubine because they have not yet married the main concubine, but if there is no woman around the two, the eldest princess will feel that her IQ has been insulted.
The eldest princess didn't answer anyone on the spot, she only said that she would ask the emperor to make the decision, and she would personally ask Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian Niangniang's opinions.
Didn't say yes, didn't refuse.
The third and fourth princes all have the opportunity to be the son-in-law of the eldest princess.
As for the eldest prince and the second prince...... As soon as the holy decree was issued, these two began to wait and see, and the eldest prince could not afford such a son-in-law.
If you think about it carefully, it's actually not bad to choose the third prince or the fourth prince.
The eldest prince occupies the position of the eldest son, and the mother family of the second prince is prominent, these two need the support of the eldest princess, but the eldest princess is not the only choice. So as soon as Roujia had an accident, they immediately distanced themselves.
On the contrary, there are two princes, the third prince and the fourth prince, which are easier for the eldest princess to master.
Concubine Ning is favored, there is a pillow wind blowing, and the chances of the four princes winning are not small.
However, the temperament of the four princes does not have the stability of the prince.
The third prince is more stable than the fourth prince, and he has also done a few beautiful errands after leaving the palace and opening the mansion, but his biological mother and concubine are too unfavorable, and they are a little behind.
However, in the eyes of the eldest princess, there are also benefits of not being favored, and the virtuous concubines can't help, so the third prince can only rely on the eldest princess more.
The eldest princess looked at the eyes of the third prince with some satisfaction.
The fourth prince was still smiling on his face, but he was a little anxious in his heart.
The fourth prince relied on his young age and said that he was going to talk to his cousin, turned around and ran away.
As soon as he came out, he bumped into the five princes head-on.
"Fifth brother, where have you been! Just now, the third brother asked his aunt to marry Cousin Roujia, and I won't let him succeed. ”
The fourth prince said that in order to sabotage the plan of the third prince, he also asked the eldest princess to marry Roujia.
The fifth prince whispered, "Fourth brother, if you do this, Concubine Ning will be unhappy." ”
Concubine Ning is probably one of the few high-ranking concubines in the palace who don't want her son to marry Roujia.
Concubine Ning wanted the fourth prince to marry her niece.
This is a long-term favor, and I feel that my pillow wind is more important than the eldest princess in the emperor's heart.
The fourth prince lowered his voice, "Do you think I really want to marry Cousin Roujia, it's not that the concubine has been chasing the concubine a few years ago, and now it is impossible for the concubine to regain favor, but the concubine is afraid that the third brother will have a chance." ”
For the prince, the biggest advantage is to be the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future.
If the third prince becomes the crown prince, he will inevitably take revenge on Concubine Ning.
The Four Princes are to beware of this possibility.
Concubine Ning often recruits her niece into the palace, and the fourth prince also thinks that her little cousin is smart and moving, much stronger than the domineering Rou Jia. What's more, who doesn't know about Roujia's heart and Xiao Yunting, this kind of ready-made green hat The fourth prince really doesn't want to wear it.
It is necessary to destroy the three emperor brothers to marry Roujia, so after the destruction, who should Roujia marry?
Let the eldest brother and the second emperor brother marry, and the fourth prince is also not at ease, which is to increase the weight of the opponent.
The eyes of the four princes fell on the honest five princes.
"Fifth brother, what do you think of Cousin Roujia?"
"Of course my cousin is fine."
The fifth prince grew up to sixteen years old, and the total number of words he said to Roujia alone did not exceed ten.
Rou Jia's temperament always reminded the five princes of Concubine Ning.
The fourth prince hooked the fifth prince's shoulder with his hand: "My cousin marries someone else, I can't sleep well at night, the fifth brother thinks that my cousin is good, why don't I create an opportunity for the fifth brother, the fifth brother marries the cousin, I can be steadfast in my heart, fifth brother, do you say okay?" ”
The fourth prince had an expression of 'our brothers are good enough to cheapen you'.
The fifth prince was terrified, "Cousin, cousin, where can I look down on me, fourth brother, don't be joking." ”
The fourth prince frowned.
"This is also true, not to mention Cousin Roujia herself, my aunt's vision is also very high, if you want your aunt to take a fancy to you, you have to think of a way."
The fifth prince had no expression on his face.
From childhood to adulthood, the four princes have been like this, they will take away the things they like from the five princes, and then stuff the things they don't like to the five princes, and the five princes have become accustomed to it.
But are you really used to it?
Xiao Yunting's sentence of not thinking about himself, but also thinking about Jieyu Niangniang, stabbed the heart of the five princes.
The fourth prince was afraid that the third prince would take revenge on Concubine Ning, but he didn't think that the fifth prince and his biological mother Zhao Jieyu had been wronged by Concubine Ning for more than ten years.
- I was originally a palace maid, so I had to serve people all my life?
- Even if she is a concubine from a humble background, the son she gave birth to is also the son of the emperor, with the blood of a true dragon!
……
On this day, what happened at the plum blossom viewing party will surely become the talk of the ladies of the powerful families in the capital after tea and dinner.
The ladies returned home and conveyed what Cheng Qing said to the eldest princess to their husbands or sons, and several ministers had a good impression of Cheng Qing.
"Cheng Shangshu, this nephew, is a smart young man."
Mrs. was puzzled, "This eldest princess is offended to death, and she can't go down the steps, where is she smart?" ”
What's not smart?
What does Cheng Qing do to please the eldest princess, as a courtier, only the emperor wants to please.
The most taboo thing for the emperor is for the courtiers to form a party!
Changxing Marquis Mansion.
Yang Daiying got off the ya, and when she went home, she was called by Mrs. Shizi, and she added fuel and vinegar to tell Mei what she did today.
Mrs. Shizi said that she was so angry that she couldn't eat: "...... My son, such a wife with a wooden fish head will only drag you and the Hou Mansion down! ”
