Empress Dowager Li said again: "It's just that Miss Huang is only thirteen years old this year, and she is only fourteen years old in the past year, so she is too young to be able to inherit the imperial heir immediately after entering the palace." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test However, after the establishment, His Majesty can choose the second concubine, and then select and choose the daughter to be selected......"

"Queen Mother!" Qi Yu rudely interrupted Empress Dowager Li's words, and said gently but resolutely, "The child is still young, and it is not appropriate to have an imperial heir too early, so please postpone the matter of choosing a concubine." ”

Empress Dowager Li didn't expect Qi Yu to speak out against it, she was stunned for a moment, frowned and said unhappily: "But the succession of the emperor's heir is a major matter related to the country, how can it be delayed?" ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Li was resolute, Qi Yu turned to Zhang Gui and asked: "Yuanfu once said that I am still young, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable for the emperor's heir to get married at this time. That being the case, no matter how old the queen and the second concubine are, I should take care of my body and avoid Dunlun.

"In this case, what is the benefit of choosing a concubine? It seems that the soldiers are half dead in front of the army, and the king's palace is still indulging, doesn't it make the people talk about it and the soldiers feel cold? ”

The imperial heir is related to the government, as long as the interests are clearly stated, Zhang Shoufu will definitely not ignore it.

Besides, the game of checks and balances between monarchs and ministers is to advance and retreat from each other, and this is still the imperial power technique taught to him by Zhang Shoufu.

Just now, he has taken a big step back on the issue of the northwest, and now he is just making a small reasonable request, and he believes that Zhang Shoufu, who is already worried about this, will definitely stand on his side.

And the queen mother has always believed in Zhang Shoufu, as long as Zhang Shoufu is willing to help him speak, even if the queen mother is not happy, she will eventually agree.

Jang Gyu looked at the young Tianzi, trying to decipher the deep meaning behind his words.

However, what he didn't expect was that the young son of heaven put all his thoughts on his face, frank and open, and never hid anything at all.

In addition to being stunned, Zhang Gui felt relieved - as a teacher, of course, he wants to be honest, respected and trusted by his students; I can't help but sigh - as a qualified emperor, no matter who you face or what situation you are in, you can't forget to hide your emotions. Otherwise, there will be those who are good at speculating on the emperor's heart, in order to flatter and invite favors, and there will be many incidents in vain.

Zhang Gui thought for a moment, then bowed his hand to the Empress Dowager Li and asked: "Empress Dowager Qi, the minister thinks that His Majesty is very worried, and the matter of choosing a concubine is also asked to think twice." ”

Establishing the future is the foundation of the country.

Can the choice of concubine be compared to it?

Empress Dowager Li did not expect that Zhang Gui would agree to the emperor's unreasonable request, and she was dissatisfied. However, the matter has come to this, and she can only choose to back down.

Since it was the head of the Yuan Fu who agreed, there would be no mistake!

Empress Dowager Li could only comfort herself like this.

"If so, then the next year will be a big wedding. After waiting for the queen and the flute, the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou will be performed. Empress Dowager Li replied helplessly.

When the time comes, the concubine will be selected to prolong the emperor's heir.

"Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you Motosuke! Qi Yu thanked him.

This time, it was extremely sincere.

Zhang Gui naturally didn't dare to accept the emperor's courtesy, so he hurriedly avoided him and returned the salute.

……

Ming Mansion.

Since Ming Yan learned that Huang Yi'an was elected as the queen, he was so angry that he smashed a lot of things.

Mingda was also very angry.

It took him a lot of effort to put the portrait of Ming Yan in the most conspicuous position, and he specially spent a large sum of money - although Ming Yan brought it back from the British government - to dredge up the relationship, who knew that a little-known little girl cut off her beard!

However, isn't the daughter of Huang Wei, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Industry, the one who asked him last time? Could it be that Zhang Tan made a force from this to make the low-ranking Huang family girl become the future queen of Daqi?

Thinking of this, Mingda immediately called Mingyi to ask.

After hearing this, Mingyi's face was very ugly, and after a while, he whispered: "It won't be the queen that the British government made her do." ”

"Why?" Mingda asked puzzled.

Ming Yan lowered his eyes and said: "Because she was the daughter-in-law selected by her aunt, the two families have already seen each other......"

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have taken the risk, first making a fuss, and then designing to fall into the water...... Of course, he won't be kicked out of the British government!

Mingyan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and hated.

Mingda suddenly realized, and said: "I'll just say, the post of 'Deputy Envoy of the Ministry of Industry' seems to have heard someone say, it turned out to be you!" ”

It's just that Ming was defeated by the other party at that time, and he didn't want to go into details, so he didn't pay attention to remember.

"If that's the case, then why does Miss Huang still participate in the election? Could it be that there is a change in the marriage with the British government? Mingda frowned.

And Zhang Tan went to the Ministry of Rites to find him last time and asked about it, what was it for?

Mingda was puzzled.

"My daughter doesn't know." Ming replied with a lowered gaze.

Mingda retracted his thoughts, looking Ming Yan up and down, his eyes full of estimates, like looking at a piece of goods to be sold.

Now that the Huang daughter was unexpectedly canonized as the queen and can no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, maybe Ming Yan can take the opportunity to marry into the British government through this blood relationship with the British duchess.

The national abbot is not available, and the brother-in-law and in-laws of the British duke are also a good choice.

Mingyi didn't like Mingda's eyes very much, so he squeezed the veil tightly and turned sideways to avoid it.

For a daughter with useful value, Mingda is still very willing to show a bit of fatherly kindness, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be discouraged. After the establishment, there is still a second concubine. ”

The second concubine can't be chosen, isn't there still a Zhang Chi who can work harder!

No matter how bad it is, you can still rely on the British duchess to marry a high family!

In short, the original spouse who died early was left to him as a daughter, and he maintained the relationship with the British government, and he was finally worthy of the surname added to the Ming family's family tree.

Ming Yan bent his knees and agreed, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

Even if he is selected as one of the second concubines, what can he do?

It's not the same to be trampled under Huang Yi'an's feet!

However, Huang Yi'an actually abandoned the British Mansion and went straight to the back position, I don't know how her good aunt would feel if she knew that her daughter-in-law who had been chosen by thousands of people turned out to be this snob?

Ming Yan speculated maliciously.

……

The British Mansion is silent all around.

Zhang Tan and the others surrounded the British duchess who was sitting in a daze, very worried.

Zhang Xi's eyes were red from crying, and he fell on the knees of the British duchess, calling "mother" in a wailing voice.

It took a long time for the British lady to come back to his senses, raised his hand and touched Zhang Xi's head, and sighed: "That kid, I have no fate with Brother Lan......

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

"Mother, it's all children who are not doing well......," Zhang Tan choked up and pleaded guilty.

"How can I blame you for this?" The British Duchess interrupted him and muttered, "Father-in-law Feng is only afraid that he resents Brother Chi and Brother Lan for leading a thousand Royal Forest Army to aid the northwest, and deliberately uses this to embarrass us." ”

Feng Yongting has always had a very close relationship with Zhang Gui, Zhang Chi and Zhang Lan led troops to aid the northwest and ran counter to Zhang Gui's idea of sticking to it, Feng Yongting wanted to take revenge under the pretext, took money and did not do anything, did not cross Huang Yi'an's name from the final list, and even deliberately promoted Huang Yi'an in front of the empress dowager of the two palaces, which should have been expected in advance.

Now that this is the case, there is nothing surprising about it.

"It's just that I pity Brother Lan, I finally escaped death, and I am looking forward to coming back to marry and start a family, how uncomfortable it would be if I learned about it......" The British duchess said, and tears fell.

But what's the use of being uncomfortable?

The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces has sent internal officials to the Huang Mansion to read out the decree of the Queen, and the world has widely announced it, whether it is for Huang Yi'an or for the British Mansion, the things that the two families once looked at each other can only be concealed.

Fortunately, only the two families know about each other, and they have not leaked it, otherwise they don't know how to bother to block this leisurely mouth.
