() In the early days of the dynasty, Tang Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Qin Zhen, the Qing of Zongzheng Temple, once again brought up the old matter, and jointly spoke to Chu Pei, repeating at length that Chu Lin was about to turn 20 years old, and after passing the ceremony of the weak crown, he would officially marry the concubine, but now the candidate for the main concubine is still undecided, and the patriarchal law of the ritual system is not in agreement.

Chu Lin was ill for half a year ago, and his ears were clean for not many days, and it was a cliché at this time, he looked at the round Tang Yuan, he was Su Shangshu's protégé, and he served under him, this was probably planned by Su Yan a long time ago, and he used the emperor's mouth to force him to straighten Su Muyun.

"What the two Aiqing said is right, the ninth prince is old, and he should have a concubine, so that he can spread out and extend his heirs." Chu Pei was high up, looked around at the ministers below, and said slowly.

"Emperor Qiqi, the younger brother is still young, and he should do his best for the society of the Dashun Dynasty, and he will not consider marrying a wife for the time being." Chu Lin bowed and saluted and said indifferently.

"King Yan's words are wrong, we all work hard for the country's society, can the emperor bear that all his ministers have no wives and no children, and they are lonely?" Su Yan jumped out angrily and arched his hand upward.

"The emperor also asks for forgiveness for Su Shangshu's disrespectful crime, his daughter is now the concubine of King Yan, this will talk about the concubine of King Yan, how can a father not fight for his daughter." Song Ping was ostensibly interceding for Su Yan, but in fact he was hinting at others that he had provoked this matter.

The ministers below whispered, and they were all considering their own interests, which one to go along with.

"You are all for the good of King Yan." Chu Pei waved his hand, stopped everyone's gossip, and turned to Chu Lin, "The Ninth Prince also has to appreciate it." ”

"Your Majesty, my brother has been sick since the last time, and he has not healed, so I really can't think about this." Chu Lin gritted his teeth and secretly wondered if he should be sick again and block the mouths of those who have nothing to do and are looking for trouble everywhere.

"It's true that I've lost a lot, and my complexion isn't very good." Chu Pei leaned over, stared at Chu Lin carefully for a while, and then said a little angrily, "From now on, let He Lian live in your mansion, within three months, if he can't cure you again, don't want your head!" ”

"The emperor is angry!" Seeing that Chu Pei was angry, the people below panicked all of a sudden, and the subordinates knelt down.

Chu Pei pushed Tang Yuan and Qin Zhen's proposal back for three months with a single sentence, Chu Lin was relieved at the moment, but what should he do after three months? I'm afraid he can't make a fuss about illness anymore.

"Get up." Chu Pei said lazily, "If all Aiqing is fine, let's disperse today." ”

"Your Majesty, my brother has something to ask for!" Chu suddenly stood up and spoke.

"What?" Chu Pei twisted his eyebrows slightly.

"When it comes to the marriage of the ninth brother today, the younger brother also wants to be happy, and he takes the liberty of asking His Majesty for marriage!" Chu raised his head and said with a smile.

"It has been three years since the death of Princess Shu, and it is natural to re-establish a concubine, but I don't know, which girl did the seventh brother fall in love with?" Chu Pei asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth and concern.

"The third daughter of the Du Jue family in Qinghe County." When Chu said this, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth, and he seemed to be very satisfied with that woman.

"The royal family, how can you marry the daughter of the county order family, and she is not the eldest daughter, it is not in line with the ceremony, it is not in line with the ceremony!"

"My court etiquette law does not stipulate that remarriage must be after a famous family!"

"The daughter of the county order has a low status, it is really difficult to match the royal family, where is the emperor's face? Where is the face of the Queen Mother! ”

"The emperor and the queen mother are enlightened, and the people of my court are simple, if the two are happy, why not

Can? ”

……

The court, which had just quieted down, suddenly became a pot of porridge, and everyone insisted on their own words and argued.

As soon as Chu Linfu heard his words, his eyebrows jumped, and he was shocked by just one Du character, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, this Du Jue had never heard of it, but he was afraid that he was a backup official, if they had a relationship, but they had voted for Baimen stickers, I am afraid that the position of this county order was also exchanged for that.

Mei Ji Restaurant's daily income is like flowing water, Chu wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf before, but he suppressed it. And he is ambitious, and he is not a person who is willing to give up, these days of peace are only afraid of making an illusion, and this marriage must have been planned for a long time, and it will not be a good thing.

"Seventh prince, there are so many women of the right age in Beijing, all of them are well-read and well-behaved, why should they fall in love with a country girl?" Chu Pei half-leaned on the dragon chair and said with some displeasure.

"Yun'er was just the daughter of the governor of Shu back then, I remarried a house today, just to take care of Ting'er and Qing'er, and her status is always better than her, otherwise, after a hundred years, how can I see her." Chu looked lonely and sad.

"Oh? The seventh prince might as well tell me, what is the name of this Du family girl, how old is it, and what is so special about it, but you have your blue eyes? Chu Pei asked with interest.

"Her name is Du Mei, she is married this year, and she has no great ability, I have a relationship with her, but she looks very similar to Yun'er back then, so that I mistakenly think that Yun'er is back from the dead!" Chu's expression was sad, as if he thought of his deceased wife for a while, and he was in pain.

"The King of Shu is really a long-term person, the princess has been dead for three years, and the couple is still in love!" Some old ministers couldn't help but praise again and again.

"The prince of Shu is actually for this, although he is not in harmony with the etiquette, but this situation is rare in the world!" Others were moved by his words and expressed their support.

As soon as Chu Lin heard the word Du Mei, it was like five thunderbolts, he never expected that Chu actually wanted to use the holy decree to trap Du Mei by his side for Du Mei's industry, so as to gain both people and money!

In a hurry, he didn't have time to discern how Du Mei became the third daughter of the irrelevant Du Jue, he glanced at Song Ping and shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince's deep affection for the deceased princess is really embarrassing, but the royal marriage must follow the etiquette law, and you can't delay too much in the love of your children, and lose the royal face." Song Ping bowed and saluted, and said conclusively.

"Song Aiqing is reasonable, the matter is big, since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, there is no such precedent, the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple will check the etiquette of the past dynasties, and then discuss it later." Chu Pei was so annoyed by the quarrel of the ministers that he waved his hand and said impatiently.

Chu Lin went down to the court in a hurry, but unexpectedly, Guo Gongcheng, who was beside the Queen Mother, was waiting for him outside the palace, so he had to gather his mind and slowly follow him to the Taihe Palace.

Empress Dowager Wan was sitting crookedly on the chaise longue, getting hotter and hotter nowadays, Pearl stood next to her to help fan, and Linglong cut a few slices of green-skinned watermelon and put four plates of refreshing snacks on the table.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." Chu Lin came in and knelt down and saluted.

"Sit down, it's hot." Empress Dowager Wan got up from the couch and stretched out her hand to pull him.

Chu Lin sat at the table and made a cup of Xuefeng Silver Needle.

"Lin'er, you have been sick since the beginning of the year, and you are getting thinner and thinner day by day, Su Muyun is the daughter of Sufu, I really can't expect her to serve you tea and pour water, Ruyi, how can she not serve people!" Empress Dowager Wan felt sorry for her youngest son and said with resentment.

"Don't worry about the queen mother, the so-called illness comes like a mountain, the illness goes like a thread, the son's son has been sick for a long time before the year, and he must recuperate slowly, the emperor just asked He Lian to live in my house to recuperate for me, so, it won't take a few months, and it should be fine." Chu Lin said thoughtfully.

"It's good for you to be small, since you married Su Muyun, you have always had three illnesses and nine disasters, I'm just afraid that she will punish you, I heard today that her father actually teamed up with the guys from the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple to persecute you in the court, so unbearable, the position of the hostess of Yanwang's Mansion must not be given to her." Empress Dowager Wan said in disgust.

"Queen Mother, it's none of Muyun's business." Chu Lin felt guilty about Su Muyun, and naturally didn't want her to be harassed by the Queen Mother anymore.

"I really can't say half a sentence, just you idiot will protect her! I don't want to embarrass her, but Princess Yan's position can't be given to her! Empress Dowager Wan sighed helplessly, but the tone behind her was very tough.

"Mu Yun is not a greedy person." Chu Lin whispered.

He should know her, they have been married for more than a year, and they are still a husband and wife who are not worthy of the name, if an ordinary woman would have gone to her mother's house a long time ago, where can she be as patient as she is every day, Su Yan is still a scholar, and according to his temperament, he will definitely have to join him in the court.

"That's for the best." Empress Dowager Wan brought the watermelon to Chu Lin, and said, "Now you should also set up a concubine, so that those people don't have to worry about it, if you have something you like, you might as well talk to the queen mother, so as not to choose Zhang Muyun and Li Muyun again." ”

"Queen Mother, I'm not in a hurry, but the seventh brother fell in love with the third daughter of the county order of Qinghe County, and today he is asking for marriage in the main hall." Chu Lin smiled and secretly changed the topic.

"It's really a long ability, the second daughter of the county order family, he can also see it, just like his mother, a little family! What did the emperor say? Promised? Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Wan was a little angry.

"No, the emperor just asked the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple to check the ritual law books." Chu Lin shook his head and said.

"In this way, I am afraid that I will still have to agree in the future, the fox girl he gave to the emperor is really a good means, and now she is a nobleman, she must help, and then she will just help him find a reason." Empress Dowager Wan is well-informed, but Chu is not her biological child, and she is married to a stepfamily, so she doesn't want to care about it.

"Really?" Chu Lin's heart immediately scratched like a cat, and he made a mess.

"What's uncomfortable about this? Look at your pale face! I made the soup in the kitchen, and you have lunch here before leaving. Seeing Chu Lin's face change, Empress Dowager Wan hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, just slow it down." Chu Lin suppressed the urge to leave immediately with all his might, and said with a smile.

"Hey, look at your body, you should take care of it well, and the matter of marrying a concubine should be slow." Empress Dowager Wan was afraid that Chu Lin's energy would be exhausted, so she had to give way.

Chu Lin didn't expect to hit the right one, so he just agreed to it.

After having lunch together, the mother and son talked for a while, and when the Empress Dowager Wan rested, Chu Lin said goodbye and left.

Zhao Ji'an had been waiting in front of the palace gate, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Ji'an, do you know who Du Jue of Qinghe County is? Who is his third daughter, Du Mei? Chu Lin turned over and asked impatiently.

"Dumay? Du Mei in Dujiagou? Impossible! Zhao Ji'an was taken aback.

Plus more, thank you for the big guy, the chest murderer, Luo Ran, and Zhiqiu, and thank you for voting for Liangyuan silently.
