Meng Yunting said with a smile: "King Rui said what was in the heart of this palace!" However, this palace is the biological mother of the prince, and it is inevitable that he will be suspected of covering up when he says such things. King Rui has always been close to the prince, so he naturally knows the prince's thoughts, so he must have said something wrong. Prince, do you think King Rui is right? ”

Xiao Ziteng knew that this matter was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yuhong would directly cut off this family business, and he immediately knew that it was not good. Fortunately, Xiao Yulin came out to relieve him, of course he had to agree with Xiao Yulin's words.

Therefore, Xiao Ziteng said: "Uncle Huang knows the thoughts of his sons. Erchen has known Qingzhou's cousin for many years, and he also has some affection for Qingzhou's cousin. Just ......"

Xiao Ziteng didn't say any more, lowered his head slightly, and showed embarrassment on his face, which also showed what he meant.

Meng Yunting said with a smile: "The prince is so old, how can he talk about such a thing and be so shy?" After the New Year, the prince is about to get married, and there are some things that it is time to find someone to teach the prince. ”

What Meng Yunting said was referring to the matter of the boudoir.

In order to prevent Xiao Ziteng from indulging in women and delaying his future, Meng Yunting did not ask anyone to mention these things to Xiao Ziteng, nor did she allow others to tell Xiao Ziteng such things.

Everyone also heard what Meng Yunting meant, and they couldn't help laughing.

Empress Dowager Zhao also smiled, and then looked at Xiao Yuhong, knowing in her heart that he was unwilling to agree to this marriage. Seeing that Xiao Yuhong didn't mean to speak, but since Meng Yunting and Xiao Yulin both said so, this matter can only be decided, and it is better for her to speak.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao said: "Since the prince is interested in the young lady of the Meng family, this marriage is not without a problem. This matter will be decided first, and then after the prince's wedding, we will prepare for this matter. ”

As soon as Empress Dowager Zhao's words came out, it meant that Meng Hongtao had decided to marry into the prince's mansion as the prince's concubine.

Subsequently, Empress Dowager Zhao said: "There are two princesses and concubines, and there is one, queen, whose young lady do you think is suitable?" ”

Xiao Ziteng said: "Grandmother of the Emperor, grandson just said, grandson wants to find a woman who is in love with him to be the prince's concubine. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao straightened her face and said, "Nonsense! What you just said is that you are interested in Miss Meng's family in Qingzhou, but because Miss Meng's family in Qingzhou is not very old, you are embarrassed to say it! If you are not satisfied, then when will you choose the woman you are talking about? You are the crown prince, and it is also an important matter to accept the prince's side concubine, don't come nonsense! ”

Meng Yunting hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is right! Prince, marriage has always been the order of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker, even more so when you are the prince. Moreover, the prince's marriage is also equivalent to a state affair. Now, as you want, you have accepted the woman you like as the prince's concubine, how can you let your temperament mess up anymore? ”

Xiao Yulin also said: "The prince, please be cautious! ”

Xiao Ziteng first looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao, then at Meng Yunting, and finally at Xiao Yulin, and saw the meaning in Xiao Yulin's eyes, so he had to bow his hand to the Empress Dowager Zhao and said, "It's the grandson who is reckless!" Grandson, but the imperial grandmother is in charge! ”

Empress Dowager Zhao and Meng Yunting smiled with satisfaction.

Xiao Yuhong was helpless, so he had to say: "Since this is the case, I will grant it once, and the prospective prince will be the concubine of the Meng family in Qingzhou. The identity of the prince is not trivial, as for the other prince's side concubine, I will choose it myself. For the rest of the people, the prince can make his own decisions, and he only needs to make it clear to the queen mother and queen. ”

Xiao Ziteng had no choice but to bow his hand to Xiao Yuhong and said, "Thank you, son, for your father's success!" ”

Xiao Yulin listened, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "Today a prince and concubine have been appointed, and the prince is also double happy." King Rui is only one year older than the crown prince, and now there is not even a concubine in King Rui's mansion, which is really unusual! If King Rui doesn't want to marry the concubine for the time being, there can be no shortage of people in charge in this house, and this concubine must also stand up. There are also two side concubines of King Rui, and the mourning family looks, Miss Ruliu of the Zhang family is good, she is also gentle and elegant, and she understands the rules very well, it is good to be the side concubine of King Rui! ”

As soon as Xiao Yulin wanted to open his mouth to refute, Xiao Yuhong said: "I also have this intention!" Since King Rui and the crown prince are of the same age and have a close relationship, it is also a good thing that both of them are happy! Although I am the king of a country and the brother of King Rui, after all, the Queen Mother is still there, and the Queen Mother loves King Rui, and King Rui's marriage is still decided by the Queen Mother. Come to think of it, there will be no mistake in the person chosen by the Queen Mother. After the New Year, he asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a suitable date and do it before the prince's wedding. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao and Xiao Yuhong both spoke, if Xiao Yulin refutes it again at this time, it will be disrespectful to Empress Dowager Zhao and Xiao Yuhong, and it will make the Zhang family dissatisfied with him.

However, Xiao Yulin never thought of taking a concubine at all, he just wanted to marry Zhong Yuqi alone.

He also knows that in the courtyard of the deep house, there are many women, and there are many things. When the time comes, if Zhong Yuqi is wronged, it will not be good for him to help, and it will not be good if he does not help.

The matter of accepting the side concubine, Xiao Yulin knew early on that it was something that could not be escaped. He just didn't expect that it would be brought up at this time. He originally thought that the banquet was just for Xiao Ziteng to choose a side concubine.

Xiao Yulin said to the Empress Dowager Zhao: "Queen Mother, the sons have not yet married the main concubine, and it is inappropriate to accept the side concubine now." Besides, Erchen and the imperial brother are brothers, Concubine Mu is the daughter of Zhang Yushi, and Miss Liu is the granddaughter of Zhang Yushi. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "Marrying a husband with a husband, if Miss Liu marries you, it doesn't matter if you are senior." Later, when the people of the Zhang family saw Miss Ruliu, they had to be called 'Mrs. Side'. It's not to let Miss Ruliu enter the palace as a concubine! Besides, aunts and nephews have served the same husband in ancient times. Zhang Aiqing has meritorious service in the court and in the community, is loyal to the monarch and compassionate to the people, your imperial brother intends to promote the Zhang family, and he is very fond of Concubine Mu, but he can't include the daughters of the Zhang family into the palace. You are the prince, and it is also appropriate to let the daughter of the Zhang family marry into your mansion. It's just that being a side concubine wronged the daughter of the Zhang family. ”

Zhang Sizhao hurriedly got up and arched his hand and said: "The Queen Mother is serious!" The daughter of the Zhang family can marry into the Rui Wangfu as a side concubine, which is the honor of the Zhang family! ”

Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand, motioned for Zhang Sizhao to sit down, and then said to Xiao Yulin: "The mourning family said before, if you don't marry a concubine, then take a side concubine first." A dignified prince, who will be nineteen years old today, how can there not even be a mistress in the house? You are free, but you can't be free! If you think it's not appropriate to accept the side concubine first, then marry the young lady of the Zhang family as the main concubine! ”
