In fact, the protons have special palace people who are responsible for taking care of them, and the countries have also sent envoys and retinues to teach and support, so they don't need to be taken care of by the harem women. However, in order to better integrate the proton into the life of the Great Zhou, and to show that the Great Zhou treats all the protons with courtesy, the emperor will assign a noble concubine to take care of the proton.

The concubines are often proud of this, because this not only shows His Majesty's love and trust for the concubine, but also adds an extra layer of security for the concubine's future life.

After all, Empress Zhao is the emperor's wife, and her identity is different from that of other concubines, so it is inconvenient to raise protons, so as not to speculate that the emperor of the Great Zhou has relatives with them.

Why did such a good thing fall on the mother concubine, Mrs. Cai? This question has never been asked to him in his previous life, but now he feels that there is a lot to ponder.

Through what Tianwei did in the previous life, it seems that Empress Zhao intended to arrange the protons to be raised by the concubine who has a princess. The purpose is likely to be to bet on many countries and use these princesses as stepping stones for Tianwei.

In other words, the princess of the Great Zhou has a noble status, and she is either married to the princes of the princes, or married to the children of the famous family of the Great Zhou. And to hand over the proton who was in love with the princess to raise, and the proton and the princess get along day and night, and it is inevitable that they will fall in love.

Of course, protons are princes who are not favored by the kings of all countries, and Empress Zhao naturally looks down on them. However, with such a layer of marriage, Empress Zhao will have the opportunity to let them tell the prince or the young monarch about Tianwei's beauty in the future, and then have an unexpected encounter or something like that. With Tianwei's beauty and her noble background, she can naturally make the other party fall in love at first sight, and she can naturally become the queen of a country.

I have to say that Empress Zhao's intentions are really vicious, but it's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.

In the previous life, Empress Zhao never expected that after returning to Chu, Mi Xian, who had been reduced to quality, would ascend the throne and inherit the position of the monarch of Chu, and Xuan Gui was the king of Chu, and the national strength was strong.

On the other hand, the Great Sunday is gradually declining, and the Zhao family is proud of their achievements in the Great Zhou, and they are slowly no longer trusted by their father, and there is still the possibility of extinction. Therefore, the Zhao clan was resentful and secretly united with the Chu State to rebel.

If the Great Zhou returns to the Chu State, Tianwei will naturally no longer be the princess of the high-ranking Great Zhou, except for Mi Xian, which monarch and prince among the countries dare to marry this princess of the dead country?

Therefore, they resorted to ruthless methods, abolished her posterior, and naturally became the new queen. He Xuan Xindao, the piercing words that Tianwei and He Xuan said before the death and death probably mean this.

Whether it is logically or emotionally, He Xuan can't accept the life of living under the same roof with Mi Xian in this life, looking up and not looking down.

She really wanted to push Mi Xian to Zhao Hou to take care of, so that Tianwei and Mi Xian, two heartless things, could get together and love and kill each other, what did it matter to her and Xuan.

However, He Xuan is also very clear that Empress Zhao's raising of Mi Xian will arouse the suspicion of all countries, and it is not harmonious to do so, and his father will definitely not agree.

Since this doesn't work, how should she solve it? She lowered her head and looked at the stone bricks on the ground, lingering at the door of the Purple Cloud Palace, trying to think of countermeasures. Finally, He Xuan's bright eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a nonchalant smile, and he walked back to the hall.

As soon as He Xuan sat down, Empress Zhao smiled and said to everyone in the hall: "Gongzi is virtuous and good-looking, and he is really a rare talent." He came from afar as a guest, and according to the rules of the Great Zhou, he naturally had to choose one of the respected concubines for him to take care of his living in the Great Zhou. ”

The concubines nodded yes one after another, waiting for what Empress Zhao was going to say next.

Sure enough, just like in his previous life, Zhao turned his head to Mrs. Cai and said slowly: "Mrs. Cai, can you please take care of Gongzi Xian?" Although it was an inquiry, the tone was unquestionable.

"Queen Mother," He Xuan didn't wait for his mother, Mrs. Cai, to answer, then Yingying got up and hurriedly said: "Erchen vaguely remembers that I heard the mage in the palace say that there is a custom among the people that women who have not given birth to a baby boy often have to ask a boy from a relative family to raise by their side, and it is easier for women to recruit and conceive a baby boy. Although I have many brothers and sisters, there are many concubines in the harem who have not given birth to baby boys," Speaking of this, she deliberately glanced at Empress Zhao, but her eyes pretended to be very innocent, and said: "According to Erchen, the mother concubine Cai already has a younger brother Ji Tai, it is better to give this opportunity to recruit a baby boy for her father to other concubines!" With that, she signaled with her eyes that her mother didn't have to interfere in this matter, and Mrs. Cai winked at He Xuan quietly.

"Oh? Is that the case? The emperor became interested in this folk custom, and looked curiously at his favorite princess, Princess Hexuan.

"What the son said is true, if the father and mother don't believe it, you can call the archmage to ask." He Xuan swore solemnly, and his eyes showed the usual sincere appearance of a child.

In her previous life, she had heard this method when she lived in the princess's mansion and was eager to give birth to a son for Mi Xian, and now she said it, even if Empress Zhao did not allow it, she had to take care of the queen's face, and she would definitely not be more serious with a twelve-year-old child. Who would have thought she was actually twenty-five years old?

On the contrary, those concubines who have sharpened their heads and want to give birth to a prince are bound to fight to the death, who will force Mrs. Cai to raise Mi Xian?

This kind of thing, the three ladies hold their own identities, and they have each given birth to a prince, so naturally they won't say anything.

The voices of the nine noble concubines whispering became louder and louder, and before Empress Zhao could speak, Dongfang Xiurong immediately stood up and bowed, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubines have served Your Majesty for several years, and they have not given birth to a prince, so they are deeply ashamed. Ask Your Majesty to fulfill it, let the concubine raise Gongzi Xian, and the concubine will do her best. ”

Dongfang conformal is the granddaughter of the old minister Dongfang Taishi, the Dongfang clan is said to be derived from the descendants of the ancient emperor Fuxi, and now although the people are withering, they are also nobles of the family.

"The concubine really wants to ask Your Majesty for guilt, and she has been in the palace for a few years, and she has nothing to do, please ask Your Majesty to be kind and let the concubine raise Gongzi Xian." Concubine Chonghua immediately stood up and said with an aggrieved face, and then said to Dongfang Xiurong: "My sister has made a contribution to His Majesty's birth of the ninth princess Le Yao, so I have to say that I am ashamed, where will I put Empress Zhao?" ”

"Enough!" Empress Zhao couldn't hold back the anger in her heart at this time, and scolded the two noble concubines who couldn't argue.

When Fei Chonghua heard this, she immediately fell to her knees in fright.

Dongfang Xiu was also frightened and pale, and while kowtowing, he said: "Niangniang, the concubine doesn't mean that!" Ask for forgiveness! Ask for forgiveness! ”

He Xuan was sitting in the hall at this time, watching everyone compete for the custody of Mi Xian, looking like he was watching a good show.

When she was snickering in her heart, she inadvertently saw Mi Xian staring at her. That expression seemed to say that it was obviously a lively activity that you deliberately provoked, but you were enjoying yourself on the sidelines.

She unnaturally avoided Mi Xian's gaze, and only pretended to be nervous like everyone else, looking at the queen and the two noble concubines kneeling on the ground.

"Gongzi Xian came from afar to be a distinguished guest of the Great Zhou, Concubine Chonghua, you have not yet given birth to children, and you have no experience in raising children. If you entrust Gongzixian to you to raise, this palace is really not at ease, for fear that you will neglect the guests. Empress Zhao has always been able to speak well, not only refuting the concubine Chonghua who angered her in a high-sounding manner, but also showing that she is thoughtful as the master of the harem.

Dongfang Xiurong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she knew that Empress Zhao would not make a fuss about what she just said at this time. She looked at Fei Chonghua who was kneeling beside her, covered her face and rolled her eyes at the latter, and then looked at Empress Zhao with joy, waiting for her to give Gongzixian to her raise.

Empress Zhao turned to look at Dongfang Contouring, and continued unhurriedly: "As for Dongfang Contouring, your Ninth Princess Le Yao is only four years old this year, she is too young, and she always cries when I hear about it. Although Gongzixian will not live in your palace, it is already very hard for you to take care of your young daughter, and Gongzixian will not be able to clean up when he goes to your palace. In my opinion, it's better to let Xu Jieyu raise Gongzixian. Xu Jieyu only gave birth to the sixth princess Wen Ying, and now Princess Wen Ying is also eight years old, and the palace looks at her and is quite well-behaved and sensible. Your Majesty, do you think this is a good arrangement? Empress Zhao looked at the emperor with a smile on her face and quite respectfully, asking what he meant.

"What Empress Zhao said, I deeply agree. Xu Jieyu, Gongzixian's diet and daily life in the future will be entrusted to you, don't neglect your guests! The emperor nodded with satisfaction to Empress Zhao, and then said to Xu Jieyu with a smile.

"The concubine receives the order, and the concubine must do her best to take care of Gongzixian." Xu Jieyu got up and bowed down in fear, and said respectfully.

"Mi Xian has thanked His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Zhao." Mi Xian stood up and said humbly and politely.

In fact, Xu Jieyu didn't understand in her heart, how could this kind of good thing of a concubine snatching her head get a person from a humble background like her. Not to mention that she had been sitting there quietly, and she hadn't said a word just now.

In her previous life, she must have felt that Empress Zhao's words were conclusive, logical, and without a trace of flaws, and she was a fair queen mother. After being reborn, He Xuan only needed to pay a little attention to it, and found that it was not difficult to guess what Empress Zhao was thinking.

Xu Jieyu was Empress Zhao's former dowry girl, Empress Zhao asked her to go east, she would never dare to go west, so she would accept whatever Empress Zhao said, and she would not argue in the hall. Secondly, Xu Jieyu was originally from a humble background, and without the support of a strong maternal family, there would be no collusion between relatives and other countries if Gongzixian was sent over.

And Xu Jieyu's Princess Wenying is only two years old when she is younger, if the two fall in love in the future, they can become a stepping stone for Princess Tianwei.

In addition, after what He Xuan said today, the concubines must be very jealous that Xu Jieyu easily got the custody of Gongzixian, if Xu Jieyu doesn't do things well for Empress Zhao, she will have no place to stand in this harem.

However, Xu Jieyu may not be so smart, if she is a fool, maybe she will think that this is Empress Zhao giving herself a favor!

This Empress Zhao is really a thoughtful person! He Xuan secretly sighed in his heart, in her previous life, she was really a little white rabbit who was slaughtered by others.
