The prince wanted to take care of Ke Xi, so he couldn't greet Qi Huan, so he casually pointed to a passing chamberlain to send Qi Huan out of the palace, and he himself sent Ke Xi back to Ke Xi's Le Ranxuan.

The chamberlain led the way in front, Qi Huan was absent-minded, and he didn't notice that something was wrong, and when he realized that the road brought by the chamberlain was not the way out of the palace, he saw the five princes.

"Lord Qi, I'm glad to meet you!"

"I've seen the five princes, the five princes just have a trick, how can I be lucky."

“……”

Can't understand the polite words?

The fifth prince took a deep breath and said heartily: "I'm just worried about the third emperor sister, so I want to ask Lord Qi and bring Lord Qi over, it's really a helpless move, and I ask Lord Qi to forgive me." ”

Qi Huan thought for a while before he reacted, the third imperial sister in the mouth of the fifth prince was Princess Pingle, ranking third among all the princesses.

Qi Huan didn't ask the fifth prince why he didn't ask about Princess Pingle's situation, but turned around and asked him, standing there quietly without speaking.

The fifth prince waited for a while and didn't see Qi Huan react, so he took a deep breath and said to himself: "Lord Qi, you also know that I am an unfavored prince, and the third emperor sister doesn't know that there is no inexplicable hostility towards me, so I can't ask her face to face, so I came to ask Lord Qi." ”

Qi Huan snorted, and he didn't know if he heard the subtext of the five princes.

The fifth prince didn't know if Qi Huan understood it, but he couldn't directly remind Qi Huan and say, "Do you understand that I put eye drops on the prince in front of you?"

Qi Huan still didn't speak, and the fifth prince could only ask by himself: "I don't know those kidnappers, have Lord Qi's people caught them?" If Lord Qi is caught, can Lord Qi send someone to tell me? ”

"Five princes, this is a matter of Dali Temple, it is inconvenient to inform the five princes."

Qi Huan's righteous words are completely different from when he was in front of the prince before.

The corners of the fifth prince's mouth twitched, and then as if he knew that he had overstepped the rules, he said very apologetically: "I saw Lord Qi talking to the prince before, and I thought you were talking about this matter, so I asked, it turned out that Lord Qi didn't talk to the prince about this, I was reckless." ”

Qi Huan: "Yes." ”

“？？？”

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment before he reacted, Qi Huan meant that what he thought was what Qi Huan and the prince had talked about before.

The expression of the fifth prince was a little exciting.

Qi Huan continued: "The minister will tell the prince that it is because the prince is the prince, and the emperor has decreed that if the prince has any political problems to ask, the courtiers can know everything, as for the five princes, the emperor has not said it, why don't the five princes ask the emperor if he agrees with the minister to inform you of political affairs?" ”

The Fifth Prince: "...... Not necessarily. ”

Qi Huan: "If the five princes have nothing to do, the ministers will retire first." ”

Without waiting for the fifth prince to respond, Qi Huan turned around and left.

The five princes stood in place, looking at Qi Huan's back, eager to dismantle Qi Huan.

……

When the prince hugged Ke Xi back to Le Ranxuan, Linglong Linlang thought that something had happened to Ke Xi again, and when she learned that she was drunk, Linglong Linlang breathed a sigh of relief.

Linglong: "The slave maid went to prepare the decanting soup and waited for the princess to wake up and drink it." ”

The prince waved his hand, and Linglong went out to prepare the decanting soup.

The prince looked at Ke Xi, who was motionless on the bed, poked Ke Xi's flushed face, and said to himself: "It's a good place." ”

After sitting for a while, after making sure that Ke Xi had no other situation, the prince still had something to deal with, so he left.

Before leaving, he told Linlang to take good care of Ke Xi, and immediately report to him if there is any situation.

"No."

……

The emperor's decision to choose concubines for the crown prince, the four princes, and the five princes was soon announced, and locally, fifty show girls were selected from each state and sent to the capital a month later, and then sent to the palace to participate in the draft together with the show girls selected in the capital.

There is a show girl quota in the homes of officials above the fifth grade in the capital.

In Xu Shangshu's mansion, Xu Shangshu sat on the main seat, thinking about who he wanted to give this place to.

Xu Shangshu has three sons under his knees, and there are more than a dozen daughters under his sons' knees, except for those who have been married, not counting those who are married, there are three of them of appropriate age, and there is exactly one in each of the three rooms.

He himself is more interested in the second room of Min Ran, with a gentle temperament, not fighting or grabbing, and being able to forbear, this kind of temperament is more suitable to be a palace concubine.

The other two granddaughters, although they were respectful and respectful in front of him, were arrogant and domineering behind their backs, and their temperament was simple, if they entered the palace, I am afraid that they would have been played to death by those palace concubines before they brought him benefits.

I had an idea in my heart, and just as the three sons, daughters-in-law and granddaughter had arrived, Xu Shangshu went straight to the point: "This time the concubine is selected, although it is said that it is for the prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, but in the final analysis, it is mainly for the prince, there is only one place in the house, and I plan to give this place to Minran." ”

The eldest lady muttered, Xu Shangshu couldn't look down on her childish appearance, and glanced at her: "If you have anything to say, say it directly in front of me, what kind of system is muttering!" ”

"This is what my father-in-law asked me to say, then I'll say it directly, obviously our sister Hui is older than Min Ran, and it stands to reason that this quota is given to our sister Hui, otherwise Sister Shu is okay, why did you give it to the youngest Min Ran? Third brother and sister, do you say? ”

The third lady didn't even look at the eldest lady, and just said: "It's all up to the father-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has no opinion on who the quota is for." ”

Seeing that the third lady did not stand aside with her, the eldest lady sighed in her heart and secretly scolded the third lady for being serious.

However, the second lady glanced at Xu Minran, found the white hand pinched under Xu Minran's sleeve, patted Xu Minran, and then said to Xu Shangshu: "Father-in-law, daughter-in-law thinks that sister-in-law is reasonable, Sister Hui and Sister Shu are older than Minran, so naturally they will marry their sisters first, and Minran can get married. ”

The eldest lady didn't expect the second lady to not want this place, and she was a little surprised, but there was a cheap and not a bastard, the second lady said so, and the eldest lady naturally took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Father, you see that the second brother and sister have said so, why don't you think about it again?" ”

Xu Shangshu didn't know why the second lady disagreed, and glanced at Xu Minran beside the second lady.

"I didn't ask you to come here to discuss with you who is going, but just to inform you, and the matter is settled, and no one can change it."

The people looked at each other, and when they knew that the matter was settled, they said no more.

On the way back to the courtyard, the second lady took Xu Minran's hand and said to Xu Minran in a serious tone: "Sister Ran, my mother knows that you have someone you like, and you don't want to enter the palace, and my mother doesn't want you to enter the palace. ”

"Mother......
