Concubine Yi didn't move, shook the dazzling gem on the ring between her fingers, and said triumphantly: "Love is only valued by others, the queen mother and the emperor have promised, in the future, Brother Jiu's Fujin will let me pick it myself, and my sister will help me check it when the time comes, don't ask for anything else, just be as filial as my family's five Fujin." ”

Concubine Hui knew that she teased her daughter-in-law for being unfilial, so she was too lazy to bother with her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Concubine De had already sat down under the Queen Mother, and she was very affectionate between her words and laughter, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Now among the five concubines, Concubine Shude and Concubine Tong are the most noble, the legend that she is the most respected among the four concubines in the past has long disappeared in time, she doesn't want to fight for any dignity or not, the emperor's little bit of pitiful grace She didn't care about it more than ten years earlier, and now what she cares about most is only the future of the eldest brother.

Not long after, the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask if it could start, the Queen Mother had no objection, and waited with everyone for the young girls to come in, and looked at it batch after batch, and when she was resting for tea, Concubine Yi rubbed her head and said: "It's really called choosing a daughter-in-law for my brothers, otherwise I will really break my heart when I see so many young girls choosing to send them to the emperor." ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly when she heard this: "There are these days, there are many people among the clansmen who have come to suggest to me that the emperor has not been officially drafted for so many years, it is time to choose, I am planning to discuss with the emperor when to do this, you hold your heart now, don't break it when the time comes." ”

Concubine Yi didn't dare to say more, and when she looked back and saw Concubine Hui smiling at her, she couldn't help but glare at her viciously, but Concubine Hui said to her: "Ten years younger, you say such things are cute and cute, this will be just a shame." ”

But without waiting for Concubine Yi to sneer at each other, the last few batches of children were also sent in, Lan Qi had already signaled Dai Guiren to take a closer look at the young lady Nalan of the Faka family, who was standing in the middle of the people, and Mingzhu Mansion had nothing to do with it, but she was also a young lady from a high-ranking and aristocratic family, and she was selected this time, as well as the cousin in the clan, Lan Qi had already said to Dai Guiren before she came, because the daughter of the Faka family was weak, she was ready to choose her cousin into the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion as a side Fujin, and Chang Fujin was not in good health, and she always had to take care of her husband with fake hands. My cousin is always easier to get along with than an outsider.

Dai Guiren stared at his daughter-in-law for a long time at first, and then she didn't care about those people, and when the girls all looked at it, when the Queen Mother discussed with the concubines, the Queen Mother asked her: "The child of the Vice-Capital Tongfa Ka family, do you like it?" ”

Obviously, the Queen Mother had already been instructed by the emperor, and Dai Guiren was happy in his heart, but he was only humble on his face: "The concubines don't dare to talk too much, and they ask the Queen Mother to be the master." ”

In this way, the candidates in the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion have been decided early, but it is the Eighth Elder Brother, the emperor didn't give the slightest meaning, it seems that it doesn't matter which one to choose, the Queen Mother is happy that Qifujin doesn't have to worry about her, but she really wants her to choose one of the girls from Yingying Yanyan, so that her brain hurts, and she can't remember which one is which.

With the effort of resting, the Queen Mother took Lan Qi to the inner hall alone, and quietly asked her if the emperor could express anything in Changchun Garden, Lan Qi smiled: "The emperor is worried about the seventh elder brother, saying that the seventh elder brother was born with a disability, lest people look down on him, but the eighth elder brother is not worried, after all, it is the child of Concubine Hui's mother, and others are afraid that they will not be able to climb high, and it is good to choose whichever one you choose." If the emperor really mentioned anything, but said that you are now presiding over the harem for the emperor, and it is very hard to deal with relatives and nobles all day long. Think about whether there is a suitable person. ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "You know, in recent years, Prince An's old Fujin, often enter the palace to ask me for peace, the first emperor only relied on her husband Yue Le, at that time Prince An's mansion was more beautiful, I can't help but give her face when I miss the old feelings, and recently I have come closer, their family has a granddaughter is old, and the fifth elder brother chose Fujin when he was tempted, but I heard that the child's temperament is not very good, Yinqi's temper is also upright, and I didn't agree if the two children are not suitable." ”

Lan Qi said with a smile: "Eighth Elder Brother is gentle and generous. ”

The Queen Mother thought thoughtfully, shook Lan Qi's arm and said, "Why don't you give this favor?" Yue Le worked hard and worked hard both at the time of the first emperor and in the pacification of the three feudatories, but the emperor treated him badly in the end, let's all see it in our eyes, right? ”

"In the affairs of the court and politics, the concubines dare not talk much, if the queen mother thinks it is appropriate, the emperor will not say a word." Lan Qi pushed the Queen Mother step by step to make this idea, naturally all this is what Xuan Ye meant. It's just that Xuan Ye has a different attitude towards the matter of the two sons' choice of wives, that is, he understands that the influence of these two children among the brothers is very different.

In order to avoid suspicion, the queen mother came out and discussed with everyone for a long time, and unexpectedly, she actually said from the mouth of Concubine Hui that Guo Luoluo, the granddaughter of Prince An's mansion, the queen mother heard it directly, and said in a loud voice: "This child has been raised under the knees of Lao Fujin, and the rules and etiquette must be not bad. ”

Concubine Hui saw that the Queen Mother was tempted, and echoed a few words, she didn't know that the Queen Mother had an idea here, but Mingzhu had hinted to her before, if she could fight for it, it would be a good thing to win the child of Prince An's Mansion for the eighth elder brother.

The old Fujin of Prince An's Mansion is the daughter of Sony, and Suo Etu is a brother and sister, and the mansion has always been a faction of the pro-prince, and now if he can have some contact with Changchun Palace, and it is not directly attached to the relationship of the eldest brother, it is a good choice. Anyway, Concubine Hui's adoption of the eighth elder brother was to assist the eldest elder brother, so he was also obliged to undertake such a political marriage.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the Queen Mother drew up these few, and sent them to the Qianqing Palace for the emperor to see, half an hour later, Liang Gonggong personally came to the Queen Mother to say a hard job, saying that the emperor recognized the decision of the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother and Qin Tianjian to arrange the initial day, and be sure to complete the marriage in the first month.

As soon as the news came out, I learned that the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother had a new blessing, and the brothers in the study surrounded the elder brother to say goodbye, but the younger brothers were not very reluctant, after all, once the eighth elder brother got married and left the palace, he was unlikely to come to the study, and there would be fewer days for them to see each other in the future. Yinxi promised his younger brothers, saying that he was still young and would not be entrusted with too many errands, and he would inevitably go into the study often in the past two years.

After the two princes went to Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace to thank him, and went to see his mother separately, the seventh elder brother naturally went to Zhongcui Palace, but after the eighth elder brother kowtowed to Concubine Hui in Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui did not mention letting him go to see the noble people of Juechan.

Yin Yu didn't care, and when he returned to his room, he said to Baoyun: "I have already agreed with Brother Qi to ask him to take care of you, and after we get married, you will go to Brother Qi's mansion on an errand, so that you can leave the palace and not have to worry about being ordered to monitor me in the future, we can all rest assured." ”

Baoyun didn't expect that Eighth Elder Brother would be so thoughtful, he tried every means to get himself out of the clutches of Concubine Hui, he couldn't help but be grateful, crying uncontrollably, but Yinyu comforted her and said: "You are the best person for me in this world so far, if my Fujin can treat me sincerely, it will be my blessing, but I will not forget you, if you are not good to me without Baoyun, I probably wouldn't be the person I am now." ”

Baoyun didn't understand it very well, but she could understand the sadness in these words, in the early years, he didn't trust that the noble people of Juezen would be good to the eighth elder brother, but in the past two years, she felt that the eighth elder brother understood many things, since the child's heart was open, she didn't have to say anything more, but she always felt that the eighth elder brother was pitiful, he did nothing wrong, but he was abandoned and used like this.

At this time, in the Yanxi Palace, after learning about the candidate of the eighth elder brother Fujin, Xianghe came to the master in a fuss and said, "Do you remember the child who sat in front of our Yanxi Palace back then?" You personally led her to Ningshou Palace, that child is the young lady of Prince An's mansion, I didn't expect to have such a fate, you held her hand back then, and now you are a daughter-in-law. ”

The noble Juezen smiled faintly: "She should only recognize Concubine Hui as her mother-in-law, where will she be my daughter-in-law?" You should be careful, don't put these words on your lips, and when you see Eighth Brother, just congratulate him. ”

Xianghe said optimistically: "Presumably the eighth elder brother will make the eighth elder brother respect you, the eighth elder brother has called you Eniang, how can the eighth elder brother not follow the eighth elder brother." ”

Jue Chan thought about the child who was curled up under the stairs back then, and thought of the indifferent words of her family that she muttered back then, as if the feeling of the cold little hand in the palm of the palm could still be faintly remembered, and she couldn't help but understand that this child did not have a happy childhood like the eighth elder brother, they all grew up under the fence. I don't know who is worthy of this pair, but they may be able to understand each other, and only those who have suffered the same can understand the heart of suffering.

Xianghe said excitedly: "Master, just now you said that you saw a young lady with a familiar face but can't remember where you saw it, it is our Bafujin, right?" ”

Jue Chan nodded: "Yes, it's her, think about it, it's indeed fate." But he told Xianghe not to be overjoyed, not to make trouble for the eighth elder brother in turn, Xianghe saw that the master was so concerned about the eighth elder brother, how could she not agree if she was only happy in her heart, but she didn't know that her master had other plans in his heart.

And the marriage of the old seven and eight is decided, and the brothers who have left the palace must have something to say, Lan Qi, a mother, really dotes on her son, and sends Huanchun to prepare things and send them to the fourth elder brother's mansion early, for fear that his son's little money will not be enough for him to support the expenses that should be sent to usher, Yuxi put out the things sent by Eniang at night, and smiled at her husband: "You always say that Eniang is frugal in Yonghe Palace, but every time you give us something, never stingy, you have to be more filial to Eniang, we have been away from the palace for so long, Eniang has made up a lot." ”

Yin Zhen was also helpless, casually glanced at the gold, silver and jade on the table, let his wife decide the gifts for his younger brothers, and complained with a smile that Eniang was too worried, he said that several times the family had a surplus and did not need his mother to make up for it, but Eniang still found an excuse to send things every once in a while, and he couldn't do it.

Yuxi said that this was his blessing, and he was embarrassed to complain, so he suddenly asked her husband to hug her waist from behind, and said softly in her ear: "There is something I want to tell you." ”
