Chapter 247: King Zhao chooses his concubine
Who would have thought that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom arrived at the palace the next day, and before she mentioned the matter to Queen Su, the queen said first: "It's just right that the imperial sister is here, I just want to ask the imperial sister to help me palm my eyes!" β
said that he didn't wait for the eldest princess to answer, so he asked the left and right to take a few portraits up, "King Zhao is also older, it's time to discuss marriage." These days, I have visited several families for him, but I have not been able to make up my mind, because I haven't told him yet-the royal sister also helps me to refer to the details, okay? β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was noncommittal when she heard this, and only took the portraits and looked at them one by one, and saw that the girls in those portraits were either delicate and lovely, or childish and beautiful, or innocent and cute, and the names of her father and brother were written below, and they were indeed candidates for the princess in terms of appearance and background, and they were definitely not selected to make up the number temporarily, so she eased her expression and said: "These girls picked by the queen are all good, and I am not sure which one to choose, so it is better to let King Zhao make his own decision?" In the end, it was the person who lived with him. β
She knew that Empress Su had guessed her intentions before doing this, and she might not have really tried to use Nie Wuying to drag herself into the water - but the eldest princess didn't want to pursue this matter too much as long as King Zhao stopped pestering Nie Wuying in the future, and after getting the queen's euphemistic assurance, she chatted casually and left.
After returning to the courtyard, the eldest princess deliberately called the two righteous daughters to her, and said: "I heard news when I entered the palace, the queen is already discussing the marriage of King Zhao, and the candidate is almost decided. β
Pei Yourui naturally didn't have anything to listen to, but said: "Is it convenient for me to send things for such a happy event?" β
She said this because she was still in her father's filial piety.
"Nothing inconvenient." The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom took Nie Wuying from the corner of her eyes while telling her, and after seeing that the girl was stunned, she quickly lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't know if she was going to cry, her heart sank, but her face was silent, she only smiled, "You said it was a happy event, and there are no taboos." β
"I'll go to the fourth sister-in-law to discuss what to send!" Before the eldest princess could finish speaking, Nie Wuying suddenly said something quickly, and without waiting for her to answer, she hurriedly turned around and ran out - this sudden scene surprised both the eldest princess and Pei Yourui!
Pei Yourui subconsciously looked up, and the eldest princess's face turned blue and red for a while, before she smiled and said: "This child used to learn Zhezhi Dance with her fourth sister-in-law for a while, but the two sisters-in-law have a relationship, and they have to find her sister-in-law for everything, which is really helpless!" β
"This is also their fate, as the so-called is not a family that does not enter the door." Where can't Pei Yourui see that there is an inside story? It's just that she didn't want to expose it, so she said a word and quit.
As soon as she left, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom ordered her to leave and see: "Go and see where Mai Sakura went?" β
Of course, Nie Wuying didn't go to Song Yixiao - she chose a path with few people and walked to a secluded place, squatted down to cover her sleeves and cried fiercely for a while, and then whimpered for a while, Fang stopped her grief, and was listless for a while, and finally planned to go back, coldly handed a handkerchief above her head, which scared her so much that she almost sat on the ground all of a sudden, and raised her eyes in amazement, but saw that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom didn't know when she came, and was looking at her quietly at the moment.
"Is it because I call you 'stepmother'?" Nie Wuying's mood had stabilized, but she would see it like this, and suddenly she felt uncomfortable again, took the veil, didn't get up, didn't wipe it, only "snapped", "snapped" and shed tears again, and after a while, she whispered, "If I were the county lord, wouldn't the queen have heard that King Zhao made me a willow hat, and immediately chose a concubine for him; You won't hear that I put on a willow hat made of him and go into the palace at once? β
The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom's face turned pale for a moment, and she fixed her mind and said astringently: "No." In the final analysis, it is because King Zhao is involved in the battle for the crown and the future is uncertain, how can I let my palm pearl follow him on an adventure? The queen was afraid of offending me, so she hurriedly chose a concubine for him. β
When Nie Wuying heard this, she was silent for a while, and only stood up after a long time, and said lightly: "I know." β
She wiped her face with the handkerchief given by the eldest princess, and suddenly said, "But why do you agree that the fourth brother will follow the prince to do things?" Aren't you afraid that if the prince fails, he will drag down the fourth brother? β
"Your fourth brother, he has no choice but to ......" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom explained with difficulty, but halfway through the words, Nie Wuying had already turned around and left-looking at her daughter's back, the eldest princess had mixed feelings in her heart, and stood in place for a long time before leaving in despair.
When she returned to the back hall, she saw Song Yixiao waiting for her, frowned slightly, and said, "I know the matter of the dancing cherry blossoms, so don't worry about it!" β
As soon as Song Yixiao heard this, she knew that her mother-in-law's process of dismantling the mandarin duck must not be so smooth, so she was in a bad mood, and hurriedly said: "Mother, there is something I forgot to tell you yesterday: my husband thought that the fifth sister had also reached the age of saying goodbye, since the righteous sister had no chance with He Lou Duhan, it was better to let the fifth sister try it-look at this?" β
"Since Ah Xuan recommends it so, it can be seen that this He Lou is indeed a good one." The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was slightly stunned when she heard this, thought about it for a while, and sighed helplessly, "It's just - I'm afraid it's not good to say this to Mai Sakura for the time being, let's take a look!" β
- Nie Wuying was resentful because of King Zhao's choice of concubine, and she was choking in her heart, she was going to tell her to He Lou Duhan, and it was strange that she was willing to agree!
It's just that as Jian Xubai said, He Lou Duhan has no shortage of opportunities to marry, and the two righteous daughters of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom rejected him.
"Princess Yushan?" Song Yixiao was very surprised when she heard the news, "Does she want to open it?" β
Jian Xubai snorted: "The emperor's grandmother's mother spontaneously spoke, so that she must fall within this year-how can Concubine Xian not be interested in her son-in-law?" Although He Lou Duhan's background is far inferior to Su Zhiyong, the two of them are both types with fair looks and polite manners, and He Lou Duhan's scientific examination ranking is still above Su Zhiyong. Concubine Xian chose him as her son-in-law, and she took great pains for Yushan! β
"But Princess Yushan may not be willing to accept Concubine Xian's hard work!" Song Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "When Princess Yushan looked at the second son of Su, the second son of Su hadn't ended up yetβit can be seen that the princess is not a person who values the ranking of the scientific examination." I'll tell you the truth, the princess likes the second son of Su, and it has nothing to do with the talent and family background, it is nothing more than because the second son is beautiful and moony, golden and jade! β
To put it simply, Princess Yushan looks at her face.
Up to plus figure.
And although He Lou Duhan can be regarded as handsome, he is only handsome in the eyes of ordinary people, compared to Su Shaoge, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who praised him as "among the younger generation of the imperial capital, there is no one else in terms of appearance", in the end, there is a big difference.
Therefore, the possibility of Princess Yushan accepting He Lou Duhan is not high.
"Xiazi moon rhyme, golden jade?" Hearing this, Jian Xubai suddenly seemed to laugh, and his tone played with taste, "You are very clear about Su Zhiyong's attractiveness?" β
"When other men heard this, they were not happy, but they were still happy!" Song Yi knocked him on the shoulder with a fan with a smile, and said, "You don't look worse than him at all, what's there to be jealous of?" β
Seeing that her husband still looked at her and didn't speak, she had no choice but to lean over and kiss him on the cheek, and coaxed, "You are handsome, uproaring, and graceful above the second son of Su - fortunately, Princess Yushan likes Si Wensheng, so I didn't fancy you, otherwise I would have cried!" β
Jian Xubai retracted his gaze at this time, and continued the previous topic in a casual tone: "Actually, not only Yushan may not be able to look down on He Lou Duhan, but He Lou Duhan may not necessarily like Yushan." Yushan is innocent and rude temperament, but I Guanhe Lou Duhan is very fond of Sister Yi, if it weren't for Sister Yi's words, he would rather wait a few days - you think Sister Yi even if she didn't talk to him, but at a glance, she knew that she was dignified and quiet, reserved and gentle. β
It can be seen that He Lou Duhan still likes virtuous and elegant girls, and Princess Yushan, who smashed her brother-in-law to the point of bleeding a few days ago, has nothing to do with Xianshu and Wenya!
"Do you want to reveal this matter to Concubine Xian?" Song Yi smiled and groaned, "After all, it's a lifelong event, if you don't know, it's okay, since you know, if you don't wake up, it will be unkind after all." β
Jian said in a humble way: "I think so too, it's just that we have never had anything to do with Concubine Xian, and although it is easy to go to the palace, there is no reason to go to her-it is better to send someone to talk to Miss Jiang and let her pass the word." β
"Sister Jiang went to Zhuangzi outside the city a few days ago to recuperate, and I don't know if I came to Cuihua Mountain this time?" Song Yixiao heard this, and vaguely figured out that maybe He Lou Duhan made it clear that he didn't want to be the master, and even asked Jian Xubai to refuse the matter, otherwise her husband would not take the initiative to suggest that she take Jiang Muyao's route and prevent Concubine Xian from promising Princess Yushan to He Lou Duhan.
However, there is a way that twisted melons are not sweet, in this kind of thing, Song Yixiao didn't mind taking a hand, so the next day he ordered someone to inquire about Jiang Muyao's whereabouts, and learned that she didn't come to Cuihua Mountain, so he wrote a letter by himself, letting people go outside the imperial capital and send it to Zhuangzi to her.
Song Yixiao originally thought that she, as Concubine Xian's favored niece, would always have a way to pass on a message to Concubine Xian even if she was not in Cuihua Mountain, and Concubine Xian was such a daughter as Princess Yushan, she refused to be wronged, if she knew that He Lou Duhan had no intention, how could she rest assured that she would choose him as her son-in-law?
But she didn't expect that after Jiang Muyao received the letter, she packed up her things within two days and rushed to Cuihua Mountain in person!
After she arrived at the mountain, she freshened up in her villa, and without resting, she went to find Song Yixiao - Song Yixiao was suspicious when she received the notice from the door, and she was surprised when she greeted her in person: "Is it really Sister Jiang?" β
"It's not very clear in your letter, I'm not at ease, so I'll go for it myself!" Jiang Muyao frowned and said, "You tell me the ins and outs, so that I know that when I turn back to my aunt, how can I remind her?" β
