After entering the palace, Cangxi was taken by Gaozong's personal eunuch Hu Yihui to the imperial study to report the situation outside the gate in the past two months, and met the princes again. Cangxi could feel that Zhou Yan didn't treat him as a good person at all, and Zhou Ze respected Cangxi as a brother on the outside, but it was really difficult to guess what he thought in his heart. On the contrary, the fourth prince Zhou Yi is a simple person. Su Rili, probably used to being bullied by Zhou Yan and Zhou Ze, Zhou Yi felt very kind when he saw Cangxi.
The official talks are almost the same, and Gaozong proposed to go together to see the show girls left by the queen, so that the princes who have not married have a housekeeper in the near future. Gaozong opened his mouth, and the people who were sons stored here naturally did not dare to disobey, and followed Gaozong's wishes one by one.
When they came to the garden of the Middle Palace, Gaozong and the princes stood in the corner of the garden and looked at the girls around the queen, and Gaozong motioned to Hu Yihui to check the background of these girls.
It didn't take long for Hu Yihui to turn the family backgrounds of these girls upside down. There are two daughters of the Fu family of the Duke of Guo, Fu Xuanyue and Fu Porcelain; Shen Zihe, the general of the Shen family; There is also Su Manshuang of the Su family in Dali Temple.
Gaozong glanced at the princes behind him, he didn't want these princes to have anything to do with the Shen family at all, especially the eldest prince Zhou Yan. The mother concubine was born in the Shen family, and then married the daughter of the Shen family as a wife, did the Shen family really think that Gaozong was a dead man?
Gaozong coughed and walked towards the middle of the garden, and the queen saw Gaozong coming, and hurriedly got up and motioned to all the beautiful girls to greet the saint and the prince. In the end, everyone is beautiful, although they are trembling, they have never been rude, which makes Gaozong very satisfied.
"How did the queen choose?" Gaozong picked up the queen, took the queen's hand and asked.
"These are all young ladies carefully selected by the concubines, and the rest depends on which one can get into the eyes of the princes." Fu Yingge replied.
"Since your queen mother has decreed, don't store it here." Gao Zong waved his hand at the princes behind him, and the princes saluted respectfully, pretending to circle around these show girls.
After turning around for two or three times, the eldest prince Zhou Yi stared at Fu Ci for a long time, and wanted to step forward to grab Fu Ci's hand, but Cangxi took the lead. Without waiting for Zhou Yi's reaction, Cangxi pulled Fu Ci to kneel in front of Gaozong and the queen, "The son asks the father and the queen mother to be fulfilled." ”
Seeing that Cangxi snatched the intended person from his hand, Zhou Yi also knelt in front of Gaozong and Fu Yingge with a dissatisfied face, "Erchen also cares about this girl for ten minutes, and asks the father and the queen mother to fulfill it." ”
At this moment, Gaozong made a difficulty. On one side is the righteous son, and on the other side is the son, who should be married Gaozong is also very entangled in his heart.
Fu Yingge seemed to see Gaozong's embarrassment, stepped forward to help the three people one by one, and said with a smile: "This girl's name is Fu Ci, and she is the niece of this palace. ”
Gaozong raised his head and looked at Fu Ci. Fu Qian's concubine is also too beautiful. It can't be called a country and a city, but people can't take their eyes off, and the Fu porcelain with thin powder looks even more beautiful.
"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving. I don't know which of my sons this Hibiscus beauty likes more? Gojong asked.
Fu Ci timidly glanced at Gaozong, and lowered his head at the moment when he looked at Gaozong, "The courtiers and the prince were old acquaintances before", and before Fu Ci finished speaking, Gaozong interrupted, "Do you want to be the princess of Xi?" ”
Fu Ci knelt on the ground and shook his head, "The courtier doesn't want to." ”
Fu Ci's words made Zhou Yi hear it, and his face was happy. Gaozong saw Zhou Yi's expression in his eyes and asked, "Then do you prefer my eldest son, Zhou Yan?" ”
Fu Ci still shook his head and asked timidly, "Can the courtiers tell the truth?" ”
Gaozong nodded and motioned for Fu Ci to continue.
"The first time the courtiers entered the palace, they saw that if they did something wrong, they would be beaten. The courtiers would rather marry their husbands and eat chaff than step into the palace gate and palace. ”
Hearing this, Gaozong looked at Fu Ci for the first time, and it was the first time Gaozong heard such words. In this harem, which woman does not fight for fame and power. Such a lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not stained, there is still one after the queen.
"Get up and speak," Gojong said.
Fu Ci thanked him and stood up. Inadvertently, she glanced at Fu Xuan, and her sister was glaring at her. Fu Xuanyue didn't expect that Cangxi would fall in love with Fu Ci, and what made her most unwilling was that Fu Ci actually rejected Cangxi! If it weren't for Gaozong in front of him, Fu Xuanyue would most likely go up and slap Fu Ci at this moment.
"If the Holy One really marries his courtiers to Prince Xi or His Royal Highness, the courtiers will obey the will of the Holy One."
Fu Ci deliberately pouted when he said this, and Gaozong looked at the girl in front of him and wanted to laugh. dared to speak to him like this, Fu Yingge came out, and the third lady of the Fu family was still the first.
"It's not good for me to be this wicked person, I'll keep you for a few years first, and if you like it in the future, just tell your aunt." Gaozong waved his hand, tilted his head and smiled at Fu Yingge and said, "You, niece, are definitely not in the pool." ”
Fu Yingge smiled and didn't say anything. Let Gaozong boast that the woman who is not in the pool, Fu Ci is still the first.
This is not the end of the show. Zhou Yan's request to marry Fu Ci failed, and he secretly sent Qiu Bo to Shen Zihe. Originally, Shen Guifei meant to marry Shen Zihe to her third son, Zhou Xin, as his wife, but unexpectedly, he was entangled in military affairs and it was difficult to return to Beijing. Since he can't marry Fu Ci, he can only hold the Shen family's military power in his own hands!
How could Gaozong not understand Zhou Yan's careful thoughts, Zhou Yan stared at the throne, Zhou was not good at dealing with ministers who held military power, so he restrained himself, and Zhou Yi looked like he had nothing to do with himself. And Cangxi's gaze almost all fell on Fu Ci alone. After thinking about it, only pointing out Shen Zihe to Zhou Yi could make him feel more at ease.
"The fourth brother came here to obey orders," Gaozong shouted.
Zhou Yi heard Gaozong's call, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"From today onwards, Miss Shen Er will be your wife, treat her well."
Gaozong's will came suddenly, Zhou Yi was stunned and forgot to thank him on the spot, and it took a long time to react and pretend to be happy Xie Gaozong's marriage.
Zhou Yi is not like Cangxi, he has the will of Gaozong, and he can choose a person he likes to marry. His wife's room can only be given to a young lady from a princely family who is helpful to the imperial court.
Out of the garden of the Middle Palace, Fu Yuyue blocked Cangxi's way.
Fu Xuanyue is also a beauty, and at this moment, a pink palace suit with a pale face looks a little out of place.
Cang Xi glanced at Fu Xuanyue and didn't have the slightest intention of talking to her, and walked straight out, Fu Xuanyue watched Cangxi leave and instinctively knelt down to stop her.
"What are you looking for this king?" Since he couldn't hide, Cangxi asked.
Fu Yuyue knelt on the ground, tears falling down. Cangxi hates women crying the most in her life, first, it's not easy to coax; Second, he really won't coax.
"Does the prince really like my third sister?" Fu Yuyue wiped away a handful of tears and asked.
Cangxi thought about it for a while, and couldn't remember who the person in front of her was, let alone the third sister who liked her? So, Cangxi had no choice but to ask, "Who is your third sister?" ”
This sentence hit Fu Xuanyue's head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the person who had been thinking about it for five years couldn't remember himself! Soon, Fu Yuyue comforted himself and said that it must be that King Xi was too busy with official business to remember himself. However, this seemingly reasonable comfort made Fu Suiyue couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing that King Xi was leaving, Fu Xuanyue still held back his little temper and said, "The daughter of the princess of the courtier, the princess of the country, and the daughter of the family, Fu Xuanyue." ”
Cangxi went through this person again, and then remembered that the third sister Fu Xuanyue was referring to was Fu Ci, so he nodded as if he was deep in thought, and said; "Thank you for your concern, if there is nothing wrong, Cangxi will retire." After that, he walked away without waiting for Fu Yuyue to refute it.
Cang Er glanced at the beauty who was still kneeling on the ground, and sighed secretly. If it is said that there is no face and no skin, he previously felt that no one in the entire Chengzhou could compare to Ji Seventeen, but now it seems that the prince of his family is probably the one who tops the list.
"Master, do you really like the third lady of the Shangguo Gong Fu family?" Cang Er asked.
Seeing Cang Er's serious expression, Cang Xi couldn't help but feel teasing, nodded and said, "She is more delicate and honest than those vulgar fans." ”
Hearing his prince's answer, Cang Er really wanted to ask when Cang Xi was blind. Qingxiu, Cang'er can't deny this. But where does honesty come from? Cang'er really didn't think Fu Ci was a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Master, Ji Gongzi's head has been kicked by a donkey, he thinks that Miss Fu San is honest, but you have seen Miss Fu San's methods with your own eyes."
Seeing Cang'er's appearance that he had to discuss with himself, Cangxi had no choice but to tell the truth: "I have no intention of him, this matter is deliberate." ”
"On purpose?" Cang Er exclaimed, "In case the Holy One really gives marriage, do you really marry a dominatrix and go back?" ”
Cangxi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Isn't it good?" ”
Cang'er thought that even if he had ten mouths, he couldn't say anything about his master, so he had to shut up.
Cang Xi naturally wouldn't tell Cang Er that she deliberately grabbed Fu Ci's hand in advance, because she saw that the eldest prince was interested in her.
Actually, he really doesn't care if he cares about this or not. Which of Zhou Yan's concubines didn't marry to maintain the relationship between Zhou Yan and the courtiers? Cangxi didn't want to see Fu Ci make wedding clothes for others. If Fu Ci is interested in Zhou Yan, he will naturally choose to marry Zhou Yan; If he didn't want to, he stepped forward to stop it, and Gaozong would not stand idly by.
It's just that the eldest prince Zhou Xin probably hates him since then.
Think about it the other way around, though. The eldest prince Zhou Yanneng colluded with the third prince Zhou Xin in a vain attempt to attack him, presumably these two have long forgotten their brotherhood.
Now, he just ruined the matter of Zhou Yan and the third lady of the Guogong Mansion becoming husband and wife. If you are reluctant, I don't want to, it can't be regarded as a good family affair, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, not to mention the sentence "It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one family".
The marriage between Zhou Yi and the second miss of the Shen family was handled by Shen Guifei.
Although Shen failed to let his niece marry his son as he wished, he finally loved this niece since he was a child. Marrying the third prince Zhou Yi can not be regarded as wronging Shen Zihe.
What's more, Shen Zihe married and liked Zhou Yi, if Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin really competed with Zhou Ze for the throne, Zhou Yi would always plan for himself. When the time comes, it is conceivable which side Zhou Yi will stand on.
After Gaozong gave the holy decree of marriage, Shen Guifei was afraid that the four princes would regret it, so she immediately ordered the day to be chosen, which was set three days later. After hearing this, Gaozong smiled and said that Shen Guifei's love for Shen Zihe was extraordinary.
If it is extraordinary, this little favor is nothing. If it can really show that Shen Guifei loves this niece, you have to go to the imperial study from Shen Guifei in person to ask Gaozong to allow Shen Guifei to give this niece a dowry according to the specifications of the princess's marriage. Such a thing, since the Shen family opened her mouth, Gaozong couldn't save her face. What's more, the Shen family helped him ascend the throne and helped him stabilize the government, such a meritorious contribution is worthy of Gaozong's excess.
General Shen sent the wedding card all over again, and the famous high-ranking officials and unknown juniors were willing to buy General Shen's favor. Moreover, the Shen family's brother and sister changed the law to make this marriage known to everyone, just to make Shen Zihe's life a little better after marrying.
General Shen's wedding card was sent to the Guogong Fu's house, but it was only used by Fu Qian and Fu Ci. For Fu Xuanyue, who has been raised in the palace since childhood, is used to this kind of happy event and marriage, so he is not too interested in it. But thinking that Zhou Yi's wedding banquet Cangxi would definitely go, Fu Yuyue finally made trouble with his aunt Fu Yingge three times, Fu Yingge couldn't hold back his niece's tears, and finally asked Gao Zongduo for a wedding card.
Fu Xuanyue, who got the wedding card, asked the queen for another decree, saying that he would go out of the palace to prepare a big gift for the four princes and his wife. The queen thought that Fu Yuyue had not been able to get into the eyes of King Xi, and it was a good thing to go out for a walk, so she nodded.
Fu Xuan, who was allowed by the queen, went straight to the prince's mansion in addition to the palace gate.
At the moment, the imperial doctor said that Fu Qingman had been pregnant for a month, but since that family law, he has injured his vitality, and the fetal gas is very unstable, and it is a question whether he can delay the delivery to term.
Fu Qingman looked at the second sister who he hadn't seen for a long time, and tears fell down one by one. Fu Yuyue saw that the fourth sister, who had been spoiled by the family since childhood, was now living like this, and he felt uncomfortable.
When two women are willing to be honest with each other, most likely they have a common enemy. Right now, too, after the two sisters complained to each other, they regarded Fu Ci as the biggest thorn in their side!
Later, it was Fu Qingman who stopped his tears first, "Second sister, don't cry, you have to do it like a method." ”
Fu Xuanyue was not pretentious, wiped away his tears and said; "I'm in the palace now, how can I control her?"
Fu Qingman thought for a while and spit out five words: "The wedding banquet of the four princes." ”
Fu Xuanyu stared directly at his fourth sister, feeling that the gentle Fu Qingman in his previous impression was like a world away. The person in front of her is like a resentful woman in the deep palace, and every look in her eyes is telling her dissatisfaction.
Was this her delusion?
"I, to, she, die!" Fu Qingman said this sentence word by word, which scared Fu Xuanyue a lot.
"Why do you hate her so much? Fu asked about it.
Fu Qing stood up suddenly, "She hurt her mother." ”
Fu Qingman's words Fu Xuanyue hadn't guessed before, but after all, he felt that Fu Ci should be a gentle little white rabbit, and suddenly told her that the little white rabbit had hurtful claws, although Fu Xuanyue had been prepared, he still couldn't accept it.
Seeing that Fu Xuanyue didn't react, Fu Qingman continued to talk to himself; "Mama Zhang, who was next to my mother, found me when I returned to the door on the third day and told me everything in the house."
Fu Xuanyue listened carefully to Fu Qingman's narration, if this little woman had more strength, the porcelain cup she was holding would turn into porcelain pieces.
After listening to Fu Qingman's words of adding oil and vinegar, Fu Xuanyue threw the teacup on the table fiercely, "It's too much to deceive people!" ”
"She doesn't let our family of three have a good time, and I naturally won't let her have a good time", after speaking, Fu Qingman pinched the teacup and took a sip of tea very elegantly.
Fu Suiyue looked at her sister's cruel expression, and couldn't help but ask, "What should the fourth sister do?" ”
Fu Qingman didn't answer positively, but asked, "Does the eldest sister want to marry Prince Xi?" ”
Fu Xuanyue hummed softly, but Fu Qingman wanted to expose the pain and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me about the draft that day. Has Prince Xi ever looked at his sister? ”
Fu was silent. On that day, all her eyes fell on this king with a different surname, and all the show girls thought about the prince's mansion and become the future palace concubine or even the queen. She is the only one who does not seek fame or profit, and wants to live a peaceful and stable life with Cangxi. However, this man has never opened his eyes to her! Never!
