Chapter 9 The Prince's Choice of Concubines

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qianqian and Nangong Qingrou were overjoyed. Nangong Wen didn't know whether to be happy or sad in his heart, after all, they were all his daughters.

Ming Haoduan also planned to withdraw from the marriage, but these few contacts shook his original intention a little, and now he withdrew from the marriage in front of everyone, but took the first step by himself, and his face was a little unbearable. Suddenly, the black face sank.

When the queen heard that she was going to divorce her son, she was a little anxious, isn't this going to lose the help of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Anxiously spoke: "Nian Xi, Duan'er did go too far with you before, but he told me that he regretted it very much, and you are thinking about it." ”

"Back to the queen, the courtiers have worked hard before, but the prince and the courtiers have no fate. Please make it happen. After speaking, she knelt on the ground with a thud, her head bowed, and her expression could not be seen.

"Nangong Nianxi, have you thought about it? Do you really want to break off your engagement with Duan'er? The emperor put away his smile and asked seriously.

"The courtiers are not blessed to be the princess, think very clearly, the courtiers ask the emperor to decree and dissolve our marriage contract."

Everyone in the hall was very surprised, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Ming Haoduan couldn't sit still, came to Nangong Nianxi's side, and asked softly: "Xi'er, think about it again, if you agree not to withdraw from the marriage." I'll take it all back. ”

Nangong Nianxi looked up in surprise, what do you mean, is this regret? It's late.

So he said to him in a firm tone: "Has the prince forgotten his original words, even if he marries a cat or a dog, he will not marry me." I'm just following the prince's wishes. ”

Ming Haoduan looked at Nangong Nianxi sarcastically, and he also had some regrets in his heart, if he had found out that she was so talented earlier, he would not have treated her like before.

The emperor watched the two of them bow their heads and speak, thinking that there could be a turnaround, so he said: "Nangong Nianxi, have you really thought about getting out of the marriage?" ”

"Ask the emperor to fulfill it." After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor and said, "The courtiers implore the emperor to dissolve the marriage contract with Prince Duan." ”

Seeing her resolute attitude, the emperor looked at his son again and asked, "Duan'er, what do you mean?" ”

Ming Haoduan was already very clear at this time, Nangong Nian's attitude in the past, she hated herself for losing confidence in herself, and she would not change her mind in the main hall, and now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, she can only agree for the time being.

"Back to my father, since Xi'er is resolute, the son also agrees to withdraw from the marriage."

"You guys have thought about it, it's not so easy to ask for after this marriage is withdrawn!"

"The courtiers will never regret it, and I hope the emperor will fulfill it."

Ming Haoduan looked at Nangong Nianxi's attitude and said resolutely and softly in her ear: "Xi'er, I know that you are angry, it is useless to say anything now, although the marriage contract was dissolved today, but my position as princess will always be reserved for you." ”

Nangong Nianxi turned his head to look at him, not like he was panicking, this was to be in the past, the real Nangong Nianxi might have been moved, but unfortunately she never would now. Didn't he want to marry his second sister? Do you want to take it all together now? Isn't he too greedy, the emperor is still so strong, as soon as he reins in the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is not afraid that the emperor will be wary of him? It's disgusting.

Seeing that the two of them were not speaking, the emperor said: "Since you have nothing to say, then I will allow you Nangong Nianxi and Ming Haoduan to dissolve the marriage contract, and from now on, male marriage and female marriage have nothing to do." ”

Nangong Nianxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and returned to his seat after kowtowing to the emperor twice. Looking in the direction of his father, I couldn't tell if he was happy or what his expression was.

Nangong Wen pretended not to see his eldest daughter's gaze at him. I owe her too much, and now I am forcing her to withdraw from the marriage in public for the sake of Qingrou, it is really difficult for her, if she has any requirements in the future, try to make up for it. ”

After the episode ended, the emperor had already prepared, that is, the highlight of tonight was to choose concubines for each prince.

There are not many heirs of the emperor, and the second prince Ming Haoduan, the fourth prince Ming Haoping, the eighth prince Ming Haolan, the ninth prince Ming Haoxuan, and the tenth prince Ming Haojie.

Since the death of the crown prince, the position of the crown prince has been vacant. The open and secret battles have been continuous. Now several princes have reached marriageable age. So today's palace banquet is a blind date in disguise.

"If you invite Grandpa Meng Fei to ancient times, this blind date must be very exciting. Hi! It's boring. Nangong Nianxi was bored eating snacks.

Ming Hao made a decree and let his sons choose their own concubines. Ming Hao chose Liu Qianqian and Nangong Qingrou as side concubines.

The one who was surprised was Liu Qianqian, she was bent on the position of the princess, but now she had a side concubine, and she felt very aggrieved to sit on an equal footing with Nangong Qingrou's big-chested and brainless concubine. What about the concubine who said yes?

Ming Haoduan gave her a reassuring look, she thought about it again, although she is a side concubine, but in addition to the concubine, there is no concubine in the palace? That Nangong Qingrou is not afraid, and the princess's seat will still be her own at that time. Thinking of this, all the grievances were attributed to Nangong Nianxi, and he glared at Nangong Nianxi fiercely.

The fourth prince chose Ji Yuexian, the concubine of the Hubu Shangshu, as the main concubine, and also gave the daughters of two officials as side concubines.

The eighth prince, Ming Haolan, did not choose a concubine because he had a princess, gave birth to a child and died of a blood collapse, and he was still immersed in the past. The emperor was not forced, let him. Although the eighth prince usually walks closer to the second prince, it is also because the eighth prince's mother and concubine passed away early, and the queen brought it up, so the children are also closer.

When it was the turn of the Nine Princes, in fact, it didn't look really stupid, but his intelligence was just five years old.

The emperor looked at his son, as if he saw his most beloved Xue Concubine, and the child had reached marriageable age in a blink of an eye.

Ming Haoxuan walked to the center of the hall, saluted the emperor in a proper manner, and said, "Father, I also want to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

The emperor smiled, looked at him kindly and said, "Xuan'er has grown up and knows that she is going to choose a concubine." I don't know which lady you like, my father will give you a marriage. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, I don't know which official's lady Xuan'er likes?"

"It's her......" he said, pointing in one direction in the main hall. Everyone looked at his hand, and they were all blindfolded.

I saw that the person he was pointing at was Nangong Nianxi.

Nangong Nianxi was also stunned, he had just divorced, what kind of trouble did this fool suddenly come out to make? Now it has become the focus of the main hall again.

The emperor was also stunned, and quickly reacted and asked, "How did Xuan'er know Miss Nangong?" ”

Ming Haoxuan straightened up and said seriously: "At my sister's house, Xuan'er almost fell into the water, it was my sister who saved Xuan'er, and Xuan'er wanted to make a promise." ”

"Don't mess around, Xuan'er is a dignified prince, how can you promise each other with your body, why don't you have your father to show you other family affairs?"

"It's not good, it's not good, I want my sister, and I don't want anyone else." After speaking, he ran directly to Nangong Nianxi's side, pulling her and not letting go. It's like if you don't agree, I won't let go.

Nangong Nianxi shook his arm, but who knew that the fool deliberately dragged it tighter. Ming Haoxuan still pouted and muttered: "If I want my sister, I want my sister to be Xuan's daughter-in-law." ”

The emperor thought that he was just on a whim, but he didn't expect that he really knew Nangong Nianxi, she was very intelligent, unlike some women who were arrogant and domineering, greedy for power and could take good care of him when they were with Xuan'er.

Thinking of this, he said: "Since Xuan'er has spoken, I don't know what Nangong Nianxi means?" ”
