Chapter 8, Section 3 The Marriage of the Crown Prince (1)
Since Tai's marriage has been proposed, it has naturally become a major matter of national concern. In my Mingguang Palace, it has begun to be full of guests all day long. It's just that I pity Xiao Cuishan Wan and them, they are so busy with the spinning top every day, they keep walking between the palace gate and the hall, ushering in the send-off, and their faces are about to stiffen with laughter.
These people, some of them are media-pulled, and some are self-recommended - of course, not for herself, but for her daughter. There are also those that are purely hilarious. No matter what the purpose of the visit, everyone was red and excited.
The emperor's choice of concubines, needless to say, is definitely the best source of news. Countless short and interesting anecdotes will be born from this. If you don't participate in such a once-in-a-decade event, won't you be an ignorant savage? will be collectively spurned by the Luoyang celebrity community.
During that time, almost all the ladies and ladies in Luoyang ran to my Mingguang Hall after eating, and as soon as they entered the door, they inquired about each other, and today those daughters of other families were recommended up? Which one do you say is the most promising?
If these people live in the capital and often walk around the palace, they will bring her daughter directly when they come. If it is an external official and cannot come, a portrait will be sent. In the end, I asked all the people who wanted to apply to bring me the portrait of my daughter, and I would show it to Tai to choose personally.
In fact, my cousin Guo Zhen's two daughters, Min Min and her second daughter Fen Fen, who came before, are all about the same age as Tai. In terms of appearance and family background, it can also be included in the popular candidates for the concubine. But Guo Zhen and Wang Yan don't seem to have any intention of climbing this family. During this sensitive period, Guo Zhen rarely entered the palace, thinking that he was deliberately avoiding this matter. Naturally, it is impossible for his daughter to have a portrait sent in ββ, AP, which is updated the fastest. It's actually easy to understand that Wang Yan is a person who thinks highly of himself. and from one of the most famous families in this dynasty, it is really unacceptable to recruit a son-in-law who likes to raise pigs - even if he is the prince of the court.
Every few days, I would send someone to deliver the newly received portrait to the East Palace. Let too slowly appreciate and choose slowly.
This big wedding. In addition to choosing a concubine, he can also choose a few more side concubines. Just like when the emperor got married, he also married me and three other lovers at the same time.
It was noisy and noisy for more than a while
It's easy to finish the New Year, and the emperor's birthday has passed, so I have to come to Taixuan. Personally asked him, "Have you chosen a concubine?" This time to choose a concubine, your father and I decided to decide that it all depends on your own will, we will not interfere, you say that whoever you make a concubine will be a concubine. β
"Really?" There was surprise in his eyes.
"Really," I nodded preciously.
Since the emperor and I plan to stay away from all this, I will not interfere in these matters anymore. Interfering in the marriage of the imperial prince is nothing more than for profit and power. Since you don't want anything, you can see everything.
Actually, even if it's just from a purely emotional point of view. I will not interfere in other people's marriages. I've also loved people who have been in pain, and I know what it's like not to be with someone I really like. It's a miracle that I can love the emperor and each other. Blind marriage can be happy. The probability is very low.
Xie Jiu is dead, and the grudge between me and her has long since faded away in the years. I promised her that I would take her back to the palace one day. This promise is doomed to fail. If only I could give her a little convenience, a little happiness. She is under the spring, so she should have no hatred. To say, Xie Jiu's son looks really good, after all, Xie Jiu himself is a beauty, and the emperor is so handsome. It's a pity that it's probably because of his curiosity, or maybe I have a deep prejudice against his peculiar hobby, and I don't look like him too much, but like a swineherd, and he always seems to have a pigsty smell on his body.
After getting my answer, he opened his mouth. I was about to say it, but I stopped embarrassedly and looked at him before he said a word, his face was slightly red, my heart moved, could it be that he already had someone in his heart? Wouldn't it be ......?
As if to confirm my speculation, he said, "Erchen wants to choose Min Min as a concubine, I don't know if it's okay?" β
Sure enough, it's Minmin!
Two years ago, I saw him fight for Min Min and Han Mi, but they were still young at that time. I thought it was just childishness, and there was no essential difference between fighting for girls and fighting for toys. When you grow up, you forget about it. Unexpectedly, in his heart, he really kept Min Min all the time.
When he said this, I groaned. If he had chosen someone else, I would have been able to reply to him very happily right now. I believe that the people who are chosen to be on the land will be overjoyed, after all, becoming a concubine is the land of the vast majority of girlsβand even more so, the girl's family. But what he wants is Minmin, so I don't dare to agree to him easily.
I smiled and said, "But Min Min isn't in those portraits. β
When I say this, I imply to him that the Wang family has no intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. Just like a competition, no matter how precious the prize is, it can only be awarded to the contestants when the final prize is awarded. No, no one has signed up for the competition, you have to send it to him.
"The son begs the queen mother to be fulfilled!" His eyes darkened, and he suddenly knelt down in front of me.
It seems that he really likes Minmin. actually changed her name to my mother for the sake of Minmin. In the past, he seemed to only call me the queen mother.
Actually, if I want to win him over, this is a good opportunity. Min Min is my niece's daughter, and if Min Min marries Tai, she will be the queen in the future. Then my position, as well as the position of our entire family, is secured. I can take advantage of this opportunity to use Min Min as the best weapon to subdue Sima.
Back then, the Yang family desperately stuffed their daughter to the emperor, wasn't it the idea to fight?
I can't deny that I'm a little tempted.
Whether the emperor can abdicate as he wishes, and when he will abdicate, is still unknown. Maybe I'll have to stay in the palace for a long, long time. In that case, co-opting too much becomes a necessary means. Now that there is this existing opportunity to subdue him, how can I not be tempted?
Perhaps, I can persuade Guo Zhen and Wang Yan to sacrifice some personal preferences for the interests of the family, suffer some losses, and marry their daughter to Sima. Promise him in advance to stay away from the pigsty and never raise pigs again. I wonder if that's okay?
If Min Min marries Tai, our Jia family, Guo family, Wang family, and other relatives will all have something to rely on.
Thinking of this, I despised myself fiercely. Alas, a thousand mistakes, all my faults. If I can give birth to one, Sima is a bird.
