Xia Yuhua's expression was natural, and there was nothing unusual, seeing this, Xia Dongqing felt that he was thinking too much. Now that it is the time of Yu'er's marriage, it is rare for this child to be so considerate and sensible now, it is better to stay at home for a few more years with him.

In this way, he didn't think much about it, and once again told Xia Yuhua not to worry or be nervous after the emperor came in a while. As he spoke, the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly sounded, and soon the emperor came with the queen, the crown prince, and some high-status concubines.

Everyone hurriedly got up to greet them, and the scene was extremely lively for a while, which faintly made the originally relaxed atmosphere a little tighter.

Today, the emperor's expression actually looks quite easy-going, but after all, he is a king, even if he seems to be smiling, it may not be a smile in the eyes of everyone. And Xia Yuhua had never seen the emperor before, even if he was married in his previous life, he only saw a holy decree.

Her seat was a little far away from the emperor, but it was enough to see Long Yan clearly, but she just took the opportunity to look up slightly from the side, but she already understood. The emperor's appearance is more consistent with the age that his father talked about, about fifty years old, his body is fat, and his facial features are mediocre, if it weren't for the dazzling bright yellow dragon robe, no half of the people would pay more attention to such a appearance when he was thrown into the pile.

And the queen next to the emperor is obviously much better-looking, although she is at least about forty years old, but she has a mature charm unique to women, and the gorgeous dress adds a bit of nobility and elegance. Compared with this, although the concubines on the side have a lot of advantages in age, and there are a few people who are far above the queen in appearance, but compared with the queen's noble temperament, they are still a little less noble after all.

Taking advantage of the concubines taking their seats, Xia Yuhua quietly compared them again, and found that among the princes next to him, the prince sitting on the side of the emperor looked the closest to the emperor. The facial features are mediocre, and the temperament is also very average, but fortunately, the body is not as bloated as the emperor, and it looks a little better than the elderly emperor.

The second and fourth princes and the other princes next to them are still better looking than the crown prince, but unfortunately most of them are biased towards their father's appearance, but they pity the beauty of their respective mothers in vain.

Xia Yuhua chuckled a few times in his heart, it was strange to say, in the royal family, the heirs of all princes and princesses were very handsome, but only the emperor's partial life was not satisfactory. It seems that it really responds to that sentence: there are gains and losses. There are very few things that are perfect.

After everyone was seated, the emperor took the lead. sprinkled a lot, but the tone was also kind. In Xia Yuhua's ears, it was just a few passing words, and the princes and marquis sitting below also echoed the echo, and there was nothing particularly new.

Then there are rituals such as worshipping the god of flowers and praying for blessings, which are not long, but they are also quite solemn. After the end of the ceremony, the last is the light song and dance in turn, everyone raised their glasses and drank and had fun with the emperor, not talking about state affairs, only talking about family life, it looked like a happy scene.

"Why didn't Mo'er come today?" After glancing around, the emperor seemed to finally find that there was something missing from the prince who should have come.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the prince on the side naturally took the lead, and immediately got up and replied: "Father, the fifth brother has always been thin, and he has contracted the wind and cold again in the past few days, and he is recuperating at home. Yesterday, Erchen went to see the fifth brother, and he also let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him, although it was a little better, but he was worried that the illness would affect his father's dragon body, so he didn't come today. ”

"Well, this child has always been weak and sickly, so it is naturally better to stay at home and rest." The emperor nodded, and his expression revealed a hint of fatherly light: "The prince has always been benevolent by nature, and he has taken great care of his brothers. ”

After receiving such praise from the emperor in public, the prince was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "My father has won the award, these are what his sons should do." ”

The emperor bowed his head again, and said: "Speaking of which, your brothers have grown up now, and the prince, the second, third, and fourth have all married the concubine, and the father is still more or less relieved." Now that the fifth and seventh children are also at the age of starting a family, they should guide them to the marriage. ”

Hearing this, everyone speculated, what the emperor meant, isn't he going to prepare to choose a princess for the fifth prince and the seventh prince?

Before she had time to think about it, the queen on the side laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince and the seventh prince have indeed reached the age when they should marry concubines, but the fifth prince has always been weak, and even the imperial doctor said that it is better to marry later, as for the seventh prince, he is only twenty years old, so there is no need to be too anxious." ”

After the queen glanced at the audience without hurrying as she spoke, she continued: "It's okay to choose a suitable candidate for the fifth prince and the seventh prince first. However, according to the concubines, not only the five princes and the seventh princes, but also the ** has not been a newcomer for many years, did the emperor simply choose the draft that had been suspended for six years to be re-selected? Wouldn't it be a good thing to pick a few good newcomers to enter the palace, firstly, to better serve the emperor, and secondly, to make the palace more joyful? ”

As soon as these words came out, the prince on the side immediately understood, got up and respectfully signaled: "Father, the son thinks that what the queen mother said is very true, my father has always been diligent in the government and cares about the people, and now it is time to enrich it again**, add a few more royal brothers for the sons, so that the blood of the emperor is more flourishing!" ”

Hearing the words of the queen and the prince, everyone muttered to themselves in their hearts, the queen and the prince sang and harmonized immediately, and the matter of choosing a concubine for the fifth prince and the seventh prince naturally turned to enrich the emperor's concubine.

Xia Yuhua couldn't help but mock in his heart, now people with discerning eyes can see that this play is probably singing that one, but most people don't know that the object of this play is the Xia family. That's right, even if it's the emperor, no matter what he does, he always has to be famous, and besides, it's naturally better for the emperor to point out such a thing in person than to let others take the initiative to mention it, and later it is more wise and ingenious to push the boat down the river.

And at this moment, such a drama is being staged, most people are naturally paying attention to the emperor's side, but some people secretly look at Xia Yuhua.

Li Qiren was really worried, as soon as the queen and the crown prince spoke, he couldn't sit still, thinking of the previous conversation between the second prince and the fourth prince, it seems that there is really such a thing that can't be wrong!
