Chapter 13: "The Queen Mother's Thoughts (1)"

After the emperor released the news that if there was no favorite candidate for the empress in November, the draft would be held, without the emperor himself knowing, except for a few courtiers who were important ministers in the court, the emperor's henchmen, and those who had the ability to have a large number of talents in their families, who were thinking of not being able to take advantage of this flood.

The other courtiers all made their own calculations in their hearts, and some even began to ask the eunuchs who usually served the emperor about the emperor's preferences in private.

At this time, the eldest princess of Shancheng's family had already begun to discuss how to let their granddaughter be selected, "Mother, did you say Ru'er could be selected?" It was Zhao Yong, the eldest son of the eldest princess of Shancheng, who spoke, Zhao Yong usually spends his days drinking and is an out-and-out incompetent person.

Zhao Yong attacked the ancestral second-class Qing'an earl, being an idle petty official with a long history of five grades, usually doing nothing and lingering in the land of fireworks all day long, usually no one cares, and no one is embarrassed by the fact that his mother is the eldest princess.

The eldest princess of Shancheng has two sons and a daughter, although the second son Zhao Kang is not talented, but he is also a little smart, five years ago, the eldest princess of Shancheng in Deccan County followed, and this time he returned to Beijing for the emperor's draft.

The eldest princess of Shancheng glanced at her eldest son and disagreed with the eldest son's words, "Why can't Ru'er" Zhao Ru is the eldest daughter of Qing'anbo's wife Chen, who is sixteen years old this year, Qing'anbo said in embarrassment, "But Your Majesty doesn't like the draft"

The eldest princess of Shancheng looked at the eldest son with a sad and timid face, "So what, this palace is the aunt and grandmother of His Majesty today, and he said that the emperor's selection of concubines has been unchanged since ancient times, and our family's Ru'er is not bad, and she will definitely be selected" The eldest princess of Shancheng said in her own fantasy.

The eldest princess of Shancheng was released with her second son five years ago, and in the past five years, she has been flattered and a little fluttering in Deccan County, obviously forgetting that the lord of Daxuan is the emperor and the emperor's means.

Qing Anbo was about to speak but was interrupted by his wife, "Yes, Ru'er is long and beautiful, and with the identity of her mother, even if she can't be the queen concubine, she won't be able to run away."

Chen's person loves vanity and calculating, and the people who usually interact with her are petty officials and wives who have no orders, and they all look at the identity of the eldest princess of Shancheng and flatter her, so they have developed Chen's arrogant and all-nothing character.

Chen's words obviously spoke to the heart of the eldest princess of Shancheng, and she said with a smile on her face, "Yes, there is this palace, Ru'er will definitely be selected" Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to see Zhao Ru when she became a concubine.

But both of them seem to have overestimated the status of the eldest princess of Shancheng in the royal family and Daxuan, the eldest princess of Shancheng was originally the daughter of Renzong's concubine and was not favored, and the former emperor only had a face-saving affection for this aunt during his reign. And Qing'anbo Mansion has long since declined. and the identity of Zhao Ru's daughter of a five-grade petty official.

The eldest princess of Yamashiro didn't see her position clearly, she was just immersed in her own dreams, and it was obviously not the eldest princess of Yamashiro who was immersed in her dreams.

Many courtiers who are motivated by their own selfish desires and hope to get rich by nepotism are playing their own petty Jiujiu. They all hope that their daughter can become a favorite concubine so that they can fulfill their wishes.

But in a good calculation, it is not as good as the emperor's willingness. The woman who is in the country and the city can't be liked by the emperor, dreams are dreams after all, and no matter how beautiful the dream is, it will turn into nothingness after waking up.
