Chapter 487: Entering the Palace, Preliminary Draft
"Tomorrow, it's the day of the harem election, although the daughters of several families are sent, but they are just going through the motions, and they can be brushed down on the first day with those who are not selected, and the wind and the master have also seen palmistry for them before, and they are basically not the legendary daughters of the phoenix."
In Queen Tu's Fengyi Palace, the crown prince Wen Tianyao sat at the bottom, listening to Queen Tu's eloquent talk, but he looked at the piece of paper handed over by the palace maid silently.
"Queen Mother, these are all young ladies of the family, will they feel uncomfortable if they brush it down like this in the first round?" Halfway through, he raised his handsome face, looked at Queen Tu who was sitting on it, and frowned.
"It's okay, the meaning of these families is just to go through the motions, brush it down as soon as possible, for them, they also know in their hearts, the time for this election is relatively tight, plus the matter of your two sisters, after the New Year, there must be a fixed number, and you have to pick a few suitable ladies of the family as the ladies to marry!"
Queen Tu said with a headache, the matter of the draft is basically done now, but the matter of the third princess and the fourth princess is not known how to deal with it at the moment.
The most important thing is that the initiative in this matter is not yet in the royal family, although the royal family has made it clear that they want to marry the two princesses, but in Yan Huaijing, the third princess and the fourth princess both said that they want to marry him, and the two princesses have their own advantages, even if Queen Tu is the biological mother of the fourth princess, she can't say that she must marry the fourth princess to Yan Huaijing.
For this reason, the four princesses and Queen Tu had several troubles, but in the end they were all gone.
Now it is not a question of whether the royal family wants to marry the princess or not, but which princess Yan Huaijing wants to choose.
"Queen Mother, although Yandi is strong, there is no need for us two directors to pick it, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, it has always been like this, how can you mess up the monarch and the minister!" Wen Tianyao's face became gloomy, "You don't have to slow down the draft because of him." ”
His gaze swept over the list given to him by Queen Tu, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and the name of Wei Yue Dance was impressively displayed on that piece of paper, which meant that Wei Yue Dance would be brushed down in the first round.
"The matter of Yandi has been around for a long time, as early as many years ago, your grandfather had an idea, but now that so many years have passed, Yandi is getting stronger and stronger, and the capital is weak, in fact, it is not that we can do whatever we want, prince, you have to remember that Yandi is large, it is not suitable to hit hard, it needs to be softened, your father is this idea, and your grandfather was also this idea."
Queen Tu sighed, and under the light, her face was a little gloomy and helpless.
For the tail of Yandi, how could Queen Tu, who is after a country, not know that the situation of Yandi has become a success, so it can only be slowly weakened.
"Queen Mother, detain Yan Huaijing as a hostage!" Wen Tianyao raised his eyes and said decisively.
Yan Guogong has two sons, and the two sons are all born to Mrs. Zhengmu, but the second son is still young, if Yan Huaijing is detained, it will be an incomparable loss for Yan Di.
"Do you want Yandi to start a war right away?" Empress Tu shook her head, looked at the young and vigorous Wen Tianyao, and said with a straight face, "Prince, I know you don't want to be held hostage by Yandi, but at the moment, the treasury is empty, the national strength is declining, and if you want to revitalize, it will not be a matter of a day or two. ”
Queen Tu sighed and analyzed.
"For Yandi and other places, they need to be gentle, or lead them to kill each other, I originally thought that the battle for the princess would be more intense, but I didn't expect it to be the situation of the two princesses fighting for the son of Yan! In this draft, it is also necessary to choose the daughters of the big family, those with outstanding appearance, to the two who have not been selected by the princess, and always let the four princes marry the nobles of Beijing. ”
The sons of the four princes, two of them married the princess, and the other two could only marry the daughters of the family, but the palace had already made a proposition, but the problem was that there were two daughters of a big family with comparable status, and they also had to be both virtuous, it was really difficult to find, and Queen Tu also had a headache for this.
"Yandi, does the queen mother prefer the third sister or the fourth sister?" For the current situation, of course, Wen Tianyao also knew that Jun frowned tightly, his father's body was unwell, and when he was Chinese New Year's Eve, he almost couldn't hold on, and he went to the front to help him entertain the courtiers, so he let him rest a little.
Regarding the emperor's illness, the imperial doctor in the palace was also silent, and no one was allowed to check the medical records of the imperial hospital.
The palace itself is in a lot of situations, and there are four places outside the palace eyeing each other, so this time the third princess and the fourth princess choose a son-in-law.
"Prince, I know that you have a very good relationship with the third princess, but don't forget that the fourth princess is your own sister, the one who broke the bones and tendons, the fourth prince and the third princess are brothers and sisters, although the fourth prince has always believed in you, but if Yan Di marries the third princess, there is no guarantee that something will happen, I am afraid that Zhaoyi will be obsessed with the events of the year!"
Empress Tu raised her eyes, her face became fierce, and she warned Wen Tianyao.
"Mother, what is the matter?" Seeing Queen Tu's face, Wen Tianyao raised his head and asked suspiciously, he didn't know what the queen mother meant by saying this at this time?
"Some of the little things back then, in fact, they weren't even small things, or I was too worried!" Queen Tu stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said very tiredly.
"Besides, even if the four princes don't have two hearts, the second prince here from time to time wants to get sick, just think about it, it's not so easy to deal with, the queen mother has always pitied the second prince, this time the fourth prince and the second prince are in trouble with the third lady of the Huayang Hou Mansion, but in the end it must be into the fourth prince's mansion, even if I am sorry for the second prince's side, the queen mother also called the palace today, so that this time we must choose a famous lady to be the second princess!"
"The third lady in the Huayang Hou Mansion, the fourth brother still can't look down on it, if the second brother really likes it, and he doesn't care, why didn't he come and tell the queen mother earlier? After the queen mother made an order here, let the queen mother come to hold the grievances! Wen Tianyao sneered and said dissatisfiedly, this second brother of his own family is the most proficient.
But because his biological mother and the Queen Mother are related, the Queen Mother has always looked up to him, and said that he is not in good health, so she let him do everything, and said that his second brother has suffered any grievances in the palace, but he is congenitally deficient, often sick and himself, holding the medicine jar all the year round, and many people in the palace have hardly seen him.
"Forget about these, things in the palace are very chaotic now, and it seems calm on the surface, but who knows when it will break out, prince, you are the prince of the country, the future of a country, and you can't act rashly, although the draft is because of you, but if there is no so-called daughter of destiny, you will also set the crown princess this time!"
Empress Tu said earnestly, "There are some things that have to be done, this is your mission as a prince, even if you don't want to, you have to do it!" ”
"Yes, everything according to the mother's words!" Wen Tianyao lowered his head, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and he relaxed the corners of his lips after half a sound, and said gently.
"Okay, go back and rest early, even if the draft tomorrow doesn't have much to do with you, but you can help your father a little more, don't make him too tired!"
"Yes, Queen Mother!" Wen Tianyao stood up and said goodbye, "The queen mother also rests early, and the draft has to worry about the queen mother!" ”
"It's okay, what are we doing with our mother and son saying so politely!" Empress Tu showed a dignified smile on her face, and raised her eyes to look at her tall son, "You can go down too!" ”
Wei Yuewu left the Huayang Marquis Mansion early in the morning, and after saying goodbye to Mrs. Tai, she rode in a special carriage sent out by the palace, and went to the palace gate with only one person.
When I got to the gate of the palace, I found that the carriages were one after another, and there was a long slip in the distance, and everyone was quietly guarding outside the palace gate.
It's still early, the palace gate has not yet opened, the sky is dark, but the lights at the palace gate are very bright, looking at the past from afar, the shadows are all people.
"Miss, you can sleep again, you will enter the palace in a while, the slave will call you!" Shu Fei put down the curtain in his hand and whispered to Wei Yuewu, getting up so early in the morning, this would indeed be a little sleepy, Wei Yuewu nodded, took a soft cushion and leaned to the side, closed his eyes and recuperated.
The process was not long, and as the palace gates opened, the carriage was started.
Wei Yuewu opened her eyes slightly.
"Miss, you can sleep again, this will be entering the palace, it is estimated that there is still some distance." Shu Fei heard the voice, turned around and whispered.
Wei Yuewu closed her eyes again and nodded, this section of the palace is indeed very long, looking at the way the carriage enters the palace, it should not stop at the palace gate and go directly to the inner palace.
After closing his eyes for a long time, he heard Shu Fei's voice in a daze, opened his slightly closed water eyes, and looked at Shu Fei with a little confusion.
"Miss, we got out of the car, and we heard from the people outside!"
"Good!" Wei Yuewu nodded, sat up straight, Shufei helped her tidy up her appearance, and then helped her get out of the carriage.
Wei Yuewu glanced at the venue where she was, there were already many show girls standing here, basically a show girl with a maid ring, exactly the same as herself.
Everyone stood quietly on the field, surrounded by lanterns, so many people were quiet, without a single sound, standing in a proper manner, and no one dared to look around.
One after another small carriages came in, and one after another young ladies got off, all of them were young ladies from the family in the capital, and some of them still knew each other, but in this case, at most, they only showed their eyes slightly, and they didn't dare to make any big moves.
Several chamberlains hurried over, and the one who walked in the first place was obviously a high-status chamberlain, although he was old, his voice was still sharp, standing in front of the show girls, and asked in a sharp voice: "Who is the young lady of Huayang Houfu here?" ”
