Chapter 39: Choosing a Concubine

"Since that's the case, then I won't keep the royal brother." Xiao Han was not annoyed when he was rejected, and said with a smile.

Xiao Yi didn't speak again, ordered someone to dock the boat, and then sent Lu Wanxue back to the house, and he went into the palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I just saw Lu Wanqing getting off the carriage.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yi walked over and asked.

"The Queen Mother summoned the concubine and let the concubine enter the palace." Lu Wanqing was a little surprised to meet him.

Since the Queen Mother summoned her, she can't help but come: "Let's go." ”

After entering the palace gate, Lu Wanqing went to the Queen Mother, while Xiao Yi went to the imperial study.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Chen looking at him with a bitter face, and there were a bunch of portraits scattered on the ground, all of which were portraits of some women.

"What is this?" Although he had a bottom in his heart, Xiao Yi still wanted to ask.

"Brother Huang, the queen mother asked me to choose a concubine." Xiao Chen wrinkled his little face bitterly.

"Hahaha......" Xiao Yi smiled unceremoniously, and sure enough, it was so.

"You're still laughing!" Xiao Chen glared at him angrily.

"Well, the emperor has also reached the age when it is time to choose a concubine......" Xiao Yiqiang couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Chen immediately wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, when he was old?

"I'm only ten years old!"

Xiao Yi was also very helpless, what did the Queen Mother think, the emperor chose a concubine at such a young age......

"Brother Huang, hurry up and help me find a way!"

And the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lu Wanqing was pulled by the Queen Mother, looking at the various portraits on the table.

The portraits are of women who do not appear to be more than fifteen years old.

Lu Wanqing asked puzzledly: "Queen Mother, what is this?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the portrait on the table and heard her ask: "Choose a concubine for the emperor, and you can see which one is suitable in the late Qing Dynasty!" ”

Lu Wanqing's eyes widened after hearing this, and she said in surprise: "Choosing a concubine? ”

"That's right." The Queen Mother looked at her surprised look and smiled: "Why are you so surprised?" ”

"Queen Mother, the emperor is only ten years old." Lu Wanqing was a little out of shape.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she put down the painting in her hand and sighed: "The mourning family knows, in fact, it is said that the concubine is actually trying to find a companion for the emperor." ”

Lu Wanqing probably knew the queen mother's thoughts, after all, the emperor was too lonely, but like this......

"Queen Mother, the emperor is still young, and his heart is uncertain. If the concubine coaxes the emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean it up at that time. Lu Wanqing said with some worry, it stands to reason that she shouldn't intervene in this matter, but this is also a fact.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother fell silent.

I just want to find a companion for the emperor, but I forget that he is still an emperor, and if he is coaxed by the people of the harem, I am afraid that the court will be unstable.

At this time, Xiao Chen hurriedly ran in with Xiao Yi.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Xiao Chen shouted to the queen mother in his mouth, but ran straight to Lu Wanqing, lying in her arms and refusing to look up.

The Queen Mother looked at her son a little speechlessly, why does this child like Lu Wanqing so much?

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched and looked at the emperor who was holding his own princess, and walked over to pick up the person: "The queen mother is over there, and the emperor has recognized the wrong person." ”

Xiao Chen was thrown aside, walked to the queen mother's side, and said aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, don't let Chen'er choose a concubine, okay?" ”

didn't say Erchen, but Chen'er. Since he became the emperor, how long has it been since he called him that.

"The Queen Mother just wants to find you a companion." The Queen Mother touched his head, and she also felt sorry for the child.

"Queen Mother, to find a companion for the emperor, you don't have to choose a concubine." Xiao Yat spoke.

The Queen Mother listened to Xiao Yi's words and asked in surprise: "If you don't choose a concubine, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Yi thought about it, saw Xiao Chen's pleading eyes on the side, and said to the Queen Mother: "After all, the emperor is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be coaxed and bewitched in the future." The Queen Mother should choose a companion for the emperor to read. ”

"Companion?" The Queen Mother was a little puzzled, and there were usually many people serving in the palace.

"Choose a boy about the same age as the emperor from the minister's house and let him be a companion for the emperor, the emperor has a playmate, and he is not afraid of being bewitched." Yat explained.

Lu Wanqing thought about it, accompanying reading is indeed a better way than choosing a concubine, and besides, the emperor is too young, and it is not good to contact men and women too early.

"The concubine also thinks this method is feasible."

"Queen Mother, Chen'er also thinks it's okay, so that in the future, Erchen can bring out a trusted official by himself."

Xiao Chen saw that the Queen Mother was a little shaken, and hurriedly took her hand and coquettishly: "Queen Mother~"

After all, the queen mother also loves the child and wants to choose a concubine for him, since the child is unwilling, then find a companion to read.

"I'll leave this matter to the regent, so you have to worry a little more."

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.

Seeing that it was not early, Xiao Yi took Lu Wanqing to go back to the palace.

Along the way, Lu Wanqing just sat on the side of the carriage and looked at the evening street outside the carriage, without opening his mouth or looking at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi wanted to open his mouth to talk to her, but seeing her attitude, he didn't know how to speak for a while. In this way, I arrived at the palace without saying a word.

When Lu Wanqing got out of the car, she didn't know what was hanging on her skirt, and leaned forward sharply, Xiao Yi hurriedly turned around and hugged her.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Yi was a little nervous about her.

Lying in Xiao Yi's arms, Lu Wanqing was a little stunned, but immediately came back to his senses: "It's okay, thank you Lord Wang." ”

"Wanqing, you are my princess." No need to say thanks.

Xiao Yat wanted to say this, but he couldn't.

"The concubine knows." After Lu Wanqing finished speaking, he pushed him away.

Xiao Yi wanted to say something, but Lu Wanxue came out in a hurry with someone, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

But when he saw Lu Wanqing beside Xiao Yi, his face was a little unpleasant.

"Lord Wang, there is good news from the family, saying that my mother is happy." Lu Wanxue grabbed Xiao Yi and said happily.

The mother is happy, if she gives birth to a younger brother, then she can ask Xiao Yi and her father to say that she will raise her mother as a flat wife, and then she will be regarded as a concubine, and she will no longer have to bear the name of a concubine.

"Oh? That's a good thing. Xiao Yi was also a little surprised, Lu Wanxue's mother was not very old, and it was reasonable to be happy.

"Sister, you didn't tell your sister last time you went home!" Lu Wanxue was a little proud and blamed Lu Wanqing, hum, look at what you will fight with me in the future.

"It's my sister's negligence."

Lu Wanqing replied lightly, ready to go back to Yushengju, and said to Lu Wanxue when she entered the door: "Remind my sister that the fifth aunt is just an aunt, and the title of my sister should still be paid attention to." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for her to reply, and she didn't look at Lu Wanxue's gloomy and said to Lu Wanxue when she entered the door: "Remind my sister that the fifth aunt is just an aunt, and you still have to pay attention to the title of your sister." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for her to reply, and he didn't look at Lu Wanxue's gloomy face, so he went in by himself.

"Lord Wang......" Lu Wanxue called Xiao Yi aggrievedly with tears in her eyes, wanting Xiao Yi to be angry with herself.

"Well, ignore her." Xiao Yi smiled and touched her head, Lu Wanxue's intentions were very clear to him.

"Lord Wang, the concubine wants to discuss something with you." Lu Wanxue cautiously spoke.
