The palace maid used an ebony tray to serve a golden tea cup and a few snacks, Yuwen Haotian casually picked up a piece of bergamot and put it in his mouth to chew, glanced at the smiling Tong beside him, and said slowly: "The queen has any good ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"When King Xu entered the palace a few years ago, Ye'er accidentally mentioned that General Ling Fengxu liked Murou very much, and he did not hesitate to wait for many years. After the New Year, Mu Rou was seventeen years old and had reached the age of marriage, and General Ling's age could not wait any longer. His Majesty has always treated his courtiers well, the Ling family has been brave and loyal for several generations, according to the views of the concubines, if His Majesty orders the Ling general and the princess, it can not only make the Ling family feel grateful and loyal, Mu Rou has found a good home for this concubine, and comforts the spirit of Chen Guifei's sister in the sky. Isn't it just a good thing to be happy and happy? Tong Shi carefully observed the emperor's expression as he spoke, and when he saw his smile slightly, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

When Yu Wenye talked about this matter that day, the emperor was obviously satisfied with Ling Fengxu as a concubine, but his expression was helpless and hesitant and unpleasant, but it was conceivable that Yuwen Murou was unwilling in his heart.

"After that day, I summoned Ling Fengxu privately, and he did have admiration for Mu Rou, but the people still do not advocate blind marriage and dumb marriage, and the princess should be more cautious in her marriage. Yuwen Haotian's thick eyebrows wrinkled without leaving a trace, and added, "I can't imagine that the queen has Mu Rou's marriage in mind, and I am very relieved." ”

is still shirking words, Tong snorted coldly in his heart, and forcibly suppressed the sarcasm in his heart. The corners of her lips raised an appropriate arc, and she still held up the appearance of a good wife and mother: "Qingxia under the knees of the concubine has not yet reached the knees, and it is too early to get married." The children of the concubines and sisters in the palace are also the children of the concubines, and the concubines should be treated equally for the marriage of the princes and princesses. It is said that except for the eldest prince's mansion, there is a small county lord of Xiya, and His Majesty has not yet had a grandson. After speaking, she secretly gave Pin'er a look, and Pin'er quietly retreated.

At this time, Yuwen Haotian's gaze happened to stay on Yuwen Ye, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but half-joke: "I don't have an imperial grandson, I should be dragged down by the prince!" He refused to marry early, and even the third child could not marry a wife and have children. ”

The smile on Tong's face was reduced by a few points, not for the emperor's words, but for Fang Caiyu Wenye's unswerving determination to accept Bai Muguan.

Yu Wenye, who was silent from beginning to end, had to attract the attention of the emperor, although he knew that the prince was calm and calm and arrogant, but he would not be so taciturn. I saw him sitting quietly at the bottom, his expression solemn as if he was trying to restrain some emotion, his eyes were cold without a trace of emotion, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, like a sculpture.

Yuwen Haotian, who was happy with his young son during the Chinese New Year, looked at him and was disappointed, and suddenly raised his voice and called: "Prince? ”

"The retainer is here," as if he had just come back to his senses, Yu Wenye got up and asked, "I don't know what my father commanded?" ”

Yuwen Haotian sighed softly: "I instruct you to open up branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible, as a prince, in addition to having the ability to govern the world, you also need to have rich heirs, so that you can be safe and secure outside, and no one dares to easily shake the country." ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father."

Before Yu Wenye's words fell, he heard Tong's delicate and tactful voice sound again: "Your Majesty, yesterday, Tong Yao, the daughter of the concubine's brother, entered the palace to ask for peace, but the concubine was busy taking care of Li Zhaoyi's mother and son, where can I take care of her." But the child was honest, and he stayed in Kunning Palace to wait for the concubine to come back, and then it was too late to get the key to the palace gate, and the concubine could only leave her in the palace for one night. ”

Tong's tone was straight, with a thin smile, as if he was talking about common words unintentionally, but Yu Wenye vaguely noticed the strangeness.

Yuwen Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually: "Cheng Engong's daughter, I remember that when she was a child, she often accompanied her mother into the palace to play with Ye'er. ”

"Father, in addition to his cousin when he was young, the daughters of the Marquis of Yongyi and the Marquis of Weiyuan also often entered the palace." Yu Wenye answered coldly.

It was inconvenient to mention Bai Muguan alone, he could only bring Yao Xilin from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion a little, which was not rude.

Hearing him say this deliberately, Tong's anger almost surged, and because of the emperor's presence, he had to laugh and sneer: "You kid is confused, how can the daughters of those courtiers outside compare to your cousins." ”

Yu Wenye lowered his eyes and answered without being salty or indifferent: "The queen mother doesn't know, her son's health is not safe, and her mind is indeed drowsy. ”

Yuwen Haotian saw that something was vaguely wrong between their mother and son, so he interjected: "If you are sick, stay in the East Palace to rest, it is cold outside, and you should be careful of catching a cold all the way into the palace." Recently, your body has not been good, how to make it at a young age. ”

"Your Majesty is right, Ye'er is young and doesn't know how to take care of himself, only one princess is not enough, he lacks a few gentle and considerate people around him to serve and live on weekdays." There is something in Tong's words.

Without waiting for Yu Wenye to refute it, the personal palace maid of the Tong family walked into the inner door and said, "Miss Tong came to say hello to the queen." ”

Tong Shi looked at Yuwen Haotian with a smile, only to see him wave his wide sleeves: "Pass her in, I haven't seen Cheng'engong's beloved daughter for a long time, and now I'm afraid she has grown up." ”

In fact, it is not a long time since I have seen it, a few days ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Tong Yao just entered the palace with his parents to attend a banquet, but Yuwen Haotian is the son of heaven, and there are very few people who can really enter his dragon vision, and he did not pay attention to Tong Yao that day.

With a little effort, the palace maid led a slender and graceful young woman into the lotus, followed by an elegant and unique fragrant breeze.

The visitor was wearing a lotus root color silk forging brocade edge hidden flower Hunan bamboo skirt, wearing a lotus sachet on a wide silver silk belt, half rolled cloud temples, bright eyes slightly hungry, stopped and bowed down: "The courtier Tong Yao greets Your Majesty, the queen mother, and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After looking at it carefully for a moment, Yuwen Haotian laughed loudly: "I have heard that Cheng'en Gong has carefully raised his daughter, and he has never shown it easily, and he has hidden it better than the second daughter of the Cai family, and today I see that it is really a beauty like a hibiscus flower." With that, he waved his hand and signaled her to excuse herself.

Tong Shi was interested, and said with a smile: "My brother has pampered his daughter for more than ten years, and today I can bear the praise of His Majesty's Chrysostom, and it is not in vain that my brother spent his efforts to raise her." ”

Yuwen Haotian subconsciously looked at Yuwen Ye with a pair of dragon eyes, and asked Tong Yao thoughtfully: "How old are you this year?" Can there be a match? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter is seventeen years old and has not yet married." When talking about the word marriage, Tong Yao hung her head and blushed cheeks, which had a unique charm.

Tong knew that now was the best opportunity, so he hurriedly said with a smile after thinking for a long time: "Your Majesty, the concubine has selfish intentions, and no matter how good the daughter of the prince and minister is outside, she still favors the niece in her heart. The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet discussed a few words with her sister-in-law, Yao'er admired Ye'er since she was a child, and the two were also cousins of childhood sweethearts, and the concubine wanted to be the master and let Yao'er enter the East Palace as a side concubine. ”

Leaving Tong Yao yesterday was obviously done on purpose by the Tong family. She originally thought that Yu Wenye took the initiative to raise this matter, and in the name of her childhood sweetheart cousin, the emperor was a little less suspicious. Unexpectedly, before the emperor came to Kunning Palace today, the mother and son made trouble with each other for a Bai Muguan. Tong Shi knew Yu Wenye's stubbornness, if it wasn't for the emperor to call the shots, he would never agree to Tong Yao to enter the East Palace.

As for the benefits of Tong Yao marrying into the East Palace, there are countless benefits, which can not only make the relationship between the East Palace and the Chengen Mansion closer, support the Tong family's maiden family, but also consolidate Yu Wenye's status as the prince, and kill two birds with one stone.

Yuwen Haotian pondered for a moment, and sighed slowly: "I remember that not long after marrying the crown princess that day, Cai Quan played many times with the intention of marrying the second daughter into the East Palace as a side concubine. Now that the queen also has this heart, I might as well listen to the prince's meaning. After all, the prince has already started a family, so there is no need to ask me about this trivial matter. ”

Empress Tong and the Cheng'en Mansion are playing wishful thinking, how could Yuwen Haotian not know? Fortunately, Tong Shi is knowledgeable and knows how to avoid suspicion, when she chose the crown princess before, she did not pick Tong Yao, but chose Ye Shiying, who is more talented and beautiful. She didn't propose to let Tong Yao enter the East Palace until today, and Yuwen Haotian would not make things difficult for her. After all, the Tong family is a century-old noble, and the concubine of Cheng'en is fully worthy of the position of the crown prince and concubine.

However, according to the ancestral system, there can only be two side concubines of the crown prince, Yuwen Haotian casually mentioned Cai Quan's second daughter, obviously there is something to say, which is equivalent to telling Tong and Yu Wenye in disguise that he wants Cai Liwan to be the side concubine, otherwise he can directly ask Cai Quan to dispel his thoughts. And the other candidate for the side concubine can be Tong Yao, the niece of the Tong family, or Bai Muguan, who Yuwenye desires. At this point, Yuwen Haotian is nothing more than returning this problem to Yuwenye, Bai Muguan and Tong Yao, it depends on how he chooses.

"Father, you know that your son's heart belongs, and she has been wronged by the concubine's room, and this concubine's position must reserve a place for her." Yu Wenye's thick eyelashes were inciting, covering the resentment and unwillingness under his eyes, "Since Cousin Tong loves Erchen, you might as well be named Liangdi and included in the backyard of the East Palace, and Erchen can afford to raise her for a lifetime." ”

Tong Yao was taken aback when she heard this, she saw his contempt clearly, staring incredulously at that handsome and extraordinary indifferent face, and the green jade fingers hanging down her side subconsciously clenched the flesh embedded in the skin. She was stunned in place, until Tong's voice came softly: "Yao'er, you haven't thanked the prince soon." ”

As long as Yu Wenye is willing to let go and allow Tong Yao to enter the East Palace, the rest of the things may as well be slowly figured out.

"Your Highness." Tong Yao settled down, returned to her usual expression, and bowed to Yu Wenye, and when she raised her eyes, she clearly saw the banter on his lips again.

In the Tianxi Dynasty, Liangdi is regarded as the prince's concubine, which is equivalent to a concubine. Living under the crown princess and side concubine, you can enter the royal jade plate, but you don't need to hold a wedding ceremony, let alone a holy decree to give marriage, just pick an auspicious day to enter the East Palace for canonization.

"Yao'er got what she wanted, Ye'er added another well-informed and beautiful woman by her side, and the Ministry of Rites of the Palace picked a good day to let Yao'er pass through the door." Tong Shi was really calm, still smiling. Although Tong Yao seemed to be wronged by Feng Liangdi, once the crown prince ascended the throne, the Tong family would have to produce another imperial concubine at that time.

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry about the Ministry of Rites, as the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to let Tong Liangdi enter the East Palace tomorrow." After that, Yu Wenye seemed to be smiling, and there were waves under a pair of obsidian-like flashing eyes.

Tong was choked by his words, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while. In particular, the three words "Tong Liangdi" came out of his mouth, and there was clearly a sense of disdain and ridicule. Tong Yao buried her head deeply, her face flushed with shame, and her palms were almost bloody with her shallot-like nails.

Gao Zhan, who was waiting on the side, was stunned to take over the conversation: "Tomorrow is indeed a good auspicious day, Your Highness's clever calculation is really accurate." ”

The atmosphere in the hall was stagnant for about a quarter of an hour, Yuwen Haotian took a sip of the golden tea cup, and smiled slightly: "The tea here is really good, sweet and refreshing, with a deep aftertaste." Having said that, his eyes fell on Yu Wenye, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

As long as Yu Wenye agreed to let Tong Yao enter the East Palace, it means that he was not carried away by love and forgot his identity. Ordinary men have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the future son of heaven?

"Your Majesty doesn't know that this tea is called Shuangmei Tea, which is prepared by the concubine's sister-in-law. Pick the winter cold plum and wax plum to remove the stamens, soak the petals with clean snow water, and then supplemented by cedar needles, and the water for making tea needs to be early morning dew. Tong's words suddenly changed, "Yao'er is also good at making tea, and her mother has a true inheritance, and she is very skilled." ”

Yuwen Haotian put down the teacup, and Yu Guang glanced at Tong Yao, who was like a hibiscus, and said: "The prince is very blessed to have this virtuous and beautiful woman." ”

Yu Wenye responded disapprovingly.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the three princes and the six princes to enter the palace to say goodbye." Gao Zhan reminded on the side.

Yuwen Haotian nodded: "The prince went to Zhaoyang Palace with me, and I happened to have something to ask." ”

These words hit the nail on the head, Yu Wenye already felt extremely depressed, and he was too busy to get up and brush his sleeves away.

Several figures left immediately, and Nuan Ge suddenly fell silent, and a tear slowly slipped down Tong Yao's beautiful cheek.

Tong sighed a little helplessly, and raised his hand: "What are you crying about, come and sit down." ”

Tong Yao walked to Tong Shi with thin steps, bent down on her knees and sobbed in a low voice: "Auntie......"

Tong Shi stretched out his hand and stroked Tong Yao's black and thick hair, and said seriously: "Silly child, Prince Liangdi is already a position that many women can't find in their lifetime, and it is well deserved that you will give birth to a son and a half daughter and then be crowned a side concubine in the future." Ye'er is the son of the palace in-law, he is clean and self-conscious, never messes with flowers and grass, although his temperament is arrogant, it is better than seeing different thoughts and liking the new and hating the old. ”

Raising a beautiful face with crying flower makeup, Tong Yao was still choking and sobbing: "Auntie, although the name is important, I care more about my cousin's heart...... I'm afraid that he is really as rumored by the outside world to be confused by Bai Muguan's demon girl......"

"Nonsense!" Tong's phoenix eyes were horizontal, and he scolded sharply, "Ye'er has the society and worries about the country and the people, how can she be confused by a female stream!" In the future, when you enter the East Palace, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds at all times, and don't listen to rumors with false rumors. ”

Tong Yao was so frightened that she suddenly sat up straight, her eyes drooped and she didn't dare to look directly at Tong's phoenix eyes that were hiding in flames, and she quickly nodded like a chicken pecking rice. The queen's aunt has loved her for many years, and Tong Yao has never seen a Tong family who is as fierce as Fang Cai.

After a moment of relaxation, Tong Shi took the young woman's hand in front of him and said lightly: "That's it, this palace shouldn't be angry with you." You don't have to put Bai Muguan in your eyes, as long as Bengong is there, she will never be a threat to you. ”

"It's Yao'er who is ignorant and listens to rumors, and my aunt shouldn't be angry." As she spoke, Tong Yao looked apologetic.

Tong Shi felt that she was sensible and well-behaved, so he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said softly: "Before the palace set up furnishings, the palace remembered that there was a pair of jade exquisite mandarin duck treasure bottles in the library in excellent condition, and I will reward you with makeup today." ”

Although Tong Yao was not surprised when she saw the reward, she still pretended to be happy, and her sweet voice was smiling: "Yao'er thanked her aunt for the reward, but my aunt still loves me the most." She knows that the road ahead is so long, and if she wants to gain a foothold in the East Palace, she must rely on the love of the Tong family.

Pin'er, who quietly left the warm pavilion at some point, walked in again, and said with a calm expression: "Yu Niangniang, Guilan Hall almost made a fuss, and Princess Mu drove away the eunuch who sent the portrait in a fit of anger. ”

"It seems that Mu Rou's girl really has someone in her heart." Tong's smile became thicker and he asked, "Does Your Majesty know?" ”

Pin'er replied: "The slave maid estimates that Your Majesty has just returned to Zhaoyang Palace at this time, and she shouldn't know for the time being." ”

"You hurry up and send someone to Zhaoyang Palace to deliver a message to Your Majesty." After that, Tong Shi met Tong Yaohu's puzzled eyes, and patted the back of her delicate hand twice with a smile, "Yao'er, stay with the palace for lunch today." ”
