Chapter 475: The Good Queen
King Liang is the eldest son of Changtai, two years older than Gan Ran, and now the crown princess has officially decreed, and the marriage date has been set, but there is no news about the candidate for Queen Liang, Su Ruhui has been busy with his own affairs for a few days, and now he suddenly thought of it when he heard Gan Ran mention it, and took his arm and asked, "Who is it?" Is it Duanmu, or Xiao Shen? β
Gan Ran smiled slightly: "It's Xiao Shen!" β
Su Ruhui was quite surprised: "How could it be her?" She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, in this way, Xiao Shen's family couldn't beat Gan Ran's mind to be a side concubine? Although the Duanmu clan may not be simpler than the Xiao Shen clan, she does not have an aunt who is a concubine in the palace, which is much better......
Her mind turned a few times, but she heard Gan Ran explain: "Father said that the Duanmu clan has a diluted temperament, and he has taken a fancy to the little Shen clan being more generous. β
"And what about the Duanmu clan?" Su Ruhua stretched out her finger and pointed at his forehead with a smile, "People with diluted temperament are also gentle and gentle in other words, and they are most suitable for red sleeves to add fragrance to study at night, but Your Majesty saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been practicing hard politics during this time, and he took a fancy to her giving it to His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
Gan Ran stroked her chin, squinted at her and smiled: "Are you jealous?" β
"Humph!" Su Ruhui withdrew her hand, but was held by Gan Ran halfway, put it to her lips and kissed it gently, Fang smiled: "This Duanmu clan threatened to marry King Liang before she entered the palace, and now that she has lost the position of Queen Liang, how can my father give her to me?" Isn't this to accuse me of robbing my sister-in-law? β
Su Ruhui said curiously: "Did the Duanmu clan just fail to go back?" β
"This is a headache for your family." Gan Ran looked at her meaningfully and revealed, "My father has promised several young talents to marry this year!" β
Su Ruhui's face changed and said, "Could it be my thirteenth brother......"
"The marriage of Su Rujun and Liu Suguan has not changed." Gan Ran shook his head, "I mean your third brother, Su Rufeng!" β
Su Ruhui thought about it quickly: "The Duanmu clan is a person who admires King Liang, it stands to reason that if Your Majesty has no intention of taking her as Queen Liang, there will be a side concubine!" If you really don't want to take her as a concubine of the good king, why don't you let her marry herself? β
"If you have a way, you are concerned about it, it seems that you are more concerned about Su Rufeng......" Gan Ran saw her anxiously thinking about the reason, and couldn't help laughing, "You only care about your third brother, don't you care about me?" King Liang was originally the former prince, in the position of the eldest concubine, and he married the daughter of the Xiliang Shen family as the queen, if you also add a daughter of the splendid Duanmu family as a side concubine, how can I deal with myself? Could it be that my father wants to stuff all the other concubines into the East Palace to be my side concubine and Liangdi? He said and pinched Su Ruhui's cheek and said with a smile, "In that case, wouldn't there be a sour smell in the East Palace all day long?" β
Su Ruhui glared at him, raised her hand and squeezed his wrist hard, and shouted willingly: "It's still so ruthless, now that they are all people with a fixed name, they still don't feel sorry for me?" It really makes me sad! β
"People are serious with you!" Su Ruhui said angrily, "But you coax me with words? I just remembered that my second brother was promised to marry by His Majesty only after making meritorious contributions during the Northern Expedition, where did my third brother get such glory? β
Gan Ran grinned and said, "It's just that I don't seem to be very happy to see you, so I just make you laugh." β
"Is this making me laugh?" Su Ruhui pinched him again and asked, "What's going on?" β
"Father, he has good intentions!" Gan Ran's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly, "As a parent, I always look forward to the harmony of my children, and you also know how my crown prince came about...... I am the prince, the most important point is that the reputation is far less than that of the good king, the third brother below has a big family, the fifth brother occupies the position of the son-in-law, and the sixth brother is still young...... My father was worried that there would be a dispute for the crown prince in the future, and now he chose you as the crown princess, firstly, as I wished, and secondly, because the Huo family's power was weak. And the selection of the little Shen family as the good queen, one is to divide the Shen family, so as not to get too high support from Gan Tang, and the other is to imply that the Shen family can stop in moderation. β
Gan Ran said it lightly, but Su Ruhui understood that Xiao Shen's appearance, bearing, and background were not below her, and she still had a concubine and aunt in the palace, so even if she failed to be elected as the crown prince's concubine, she still had the idea of a side concubine - just looking at the prince now Gan Ran, you know that even if you become a crown princess, what if you become the queen mother in the future? Since ancient times, how many Ninety-Five Supremes have been produced by the Middle Palace?
And Changtai's will made the Shen family's descendants of this generation the most outstanding little Shen family become a good queen, and since she cut off her idea of entering the East Palace, the Su family had to breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for Changtai's benefits, and at the same time grateful to the good king. This hand not only helped King Liang win the favor of the Su family, but also hinted that the Shen family should break off the thoughts that should not be.
In addition, the Shen family originally intervened in the dispute between the princes because Gantang had the blood of the Shen family, and now that they have a son-in-law of the good king, it is inevitable that some people want to support the good king instead - after all, the queen mother who loves Gan Tang has been ill for a long time, and Changtai has never cared much about his three sons, in contrast, the good king was taught and raised by Changtai.
And there is another reason why Gan Ran didn't say it - Shen Shufei once murdered Changtai's beloved Mrs. Yinghua, for which Changtai was very disgusted with her, and even Gantang was involved, so Changtai was wary of the Shen family's women, how could he give the prince another daughter of the Shen family?
The wife and concubine of the prince are the future queen and imperial concubine, and their origin and the meaning they represent can not be compared with the harem of the vassal king?
As long as Xiao Shen's family can give birth to a son for King Liang, those side rooms with low background died unclear, Changtai is not in the mood to take care of it, and Xiao Shen's daughter-in-law, if she can't give birth to a son-in-law, she can only raise her concubine, so that the good king has an heir, and Changtai's goal has been achieved.
In the final analysis, Changtai is still not worried about the safety of King Liang.
The so-called higher you stand, the harder you fall, that's it, even if Chang Taigui is the supreme and wants to protect his eldest son, he has to plan hard.
Su Ruhui asked, "What about the Duanmu clan?" How exactly does His Majesty plan to place her? β
"The envoy of Beirong has arrived in the imperial capital, and the lord of Roushu is about to get married." Gan Ran replied, "My father has decided to marry her to the fourth son of the Beijung Khan, LΓΌrt. β
Su Ruhui thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Is there another Guangyi eldest princess?" β
"No!" Gan Ran smiled slightly, "Because of Rou Shu's marriage, no one from the Duanmu clan paid attention to them when they were released from the palace. β
Su Ruhui was speechless.
