Chenshixu.

A trace of warmth passed through the windowsill of the dormitory of the Changchun Palace.

Sprinkled on the bed in the dormitory.

It added a little warmth to the people who snuggled up to each other again.

Wang Qiujin leaned into Xu Yi's arms.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he breathed happily the unique soaphorn fragrance between Xu Yi's clothes.

I don't know how long it took.

Wang Qiujin slowly got up from Xu Yi's arms.

"Husband."

Wang Qiujin's face was slightly straight, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness and she slowly spoke.

"I'm here."

Xu Yi slowly lowered his head and reached out to hold Wang Qiujin's soft little hand.

"The concubine is now pregnant." Wang Qiujin bowed her head slightly, her face was slightly red, and she said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to serve my husband in a short time."

The words fell.

Wang Qiujin's face pale slightly, and then she continued to whisper: "And the husband and the concubine have been married for more than five months, and they have not yet received a one-room maid."

"I've never had the intention of taking a concubine."

"Husband's move is not in line with etiquette."

"The concubine has the courage to choose a few women from good families for her husband, I don't know if the husband is satisfied?"

Don't wait for Xu Yi to speak.

Wang Qiujin slowly got up and took out a few pieces of rice paper from the depths of the bed and under the bedding.

"Husband, please see."

Wang Qiujin held the rice paper in his hand and walked into Xu Yi's arms again.

and snuggled in Xu Yi's arms, and slowly unfolded the well-folded several pieces of rice paper in his hand.

"This woman's name is Sun Shaolan."

"The youngest daughter of the elder brother of Naisun County, she is twenty-eight years old and has a good appearance."

"The elder brother of the Sun County Shou is named Sun Daotong, and he has no official position."

"There are three businesses under his name, and several of them are among the best among the merchants of Shanggu County."

"But after all, he is a businessman."

"Therefore, the concubine thinks that if the husband is satisfied, she can accept Sun Shaolan as her wife, but not as a side concubine."

Wang Qiujin stretched out her little hand, lightly pointed to the beautiful woman in the portrait, and slowly analyzed.

According to the Great Zhou Zu Xun.

The Prince, one on both sides and three ladies.

The king of the county, one is on one side and two ladies.

Among them, whether it is a prince or a county king, its concubines need to be married and canonized by the emperor.

As for the side concubine, only the prince needs to submit the marriage document to Zongzheng Temple.

As for the lady, it is only necessary for the prince to announce the people and officials of the fiefdom.

As for the concubine room under the lady, there is no limit on the number of concubines in the Great Zhou Zuxun, and there are no other requirements.

In the same way, the concubine room under the lady has no name at all.

Xu Yi shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "Beauty is beautiful, it's really useless."

Whether it is from the point of view of etiquette, or from the point of view of stabilizing power, or in order to maintain Wang Qiujin's reputation.

The matter of taking a concubine, for Xu Yi, is naturally unavoidable.

Since there is no way to avoid it, then why be hypocritical to the extreme, first "excuse in every way" and finally "reluctantly" agree?

That's why.

Since Wang Qiujin talked openly and honestly about his "concubine".

Xu Yi immediately corrected his posture and seriously considered the person selected by Wang Qiujin.

For Xu Yi, the so-called "concubine" is nothing more than a "marriage".

And "marriage" is nothing more than a means.

Its ultimate goal is nothing more than to consolidate its own power, or to strengthen its own power.

Such as Sun Shaolan.

The youngest daughter of the elder brother of Sun Daohua, the county guard of Ueya County.

Although his appearance is superior, the help he can provide to Xu Yi is too little and too little.

For the sake of beauty, for one's own selfish desires.

To waste a "lady" title.

Such a violent act of destroying the heavens, Xu Yi would never have done it.

......

......

Changchun Palace.

Wang Qiujin snuggled in Xu Yi's arms.

After hearing the eight big words "beauty is beautiful, it is really useless".

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly by a point or two.

"Ahem."

Wang Qiujin coughed lightly, and then gently pulled away the portrait at the top.

Another portrait of a woman below Sun Shaolan's portrait is revealed.

Immediately, he told all the circumstances of the woman one by one.

Apparently.

Yesterday, Xu Yi led the crowd to give gifts to the Buddha's bone relics.

Wang Qiujin was not idle in the harem.

Correct.

The several portraits of women in front of them are either too disparity in status and status, which is not an effective help to Xu Yixing.

Either the family behind it has been pulled into the "death list" that must be eliminated by Xu Yi at the banquet after the gift of the Buddha bone relics yesterday.

A moment later.

After a series of vetoes.

There are only three portraits left in Wang Qiujin's hands.

"Ugh." Wang Qiujin sighed slightly, and then pretended to be weak and said, "If I had known that my husband was so picky, I wouldn't have bothered to paint them one by one yesterday."

Obviously, the lifelike portraits of women are from Wang Qiujin's hand.

"You, you."

Hearing this, Xu Yi pinched Wang Qiujin and Bai Zhe's face with doting.

"Ahem." Wang Qiujin coughed lightly twice, and then pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Husband, let's get down to business, don't make trouble."

Xu Yi pinched Wang Qiujin Bai Zhe's face again, and chuckled, "Okay, listen to you and don't make trouble."

"Hmph~" Wang Qiujin snorted softly like a little daughter.

Obviously, that series of negations made Wang Qiujin feel inexplicably good.

After a bit of fun.

Wang Qiujin settled down, and then unfolded the last three portraits left in his hand one by one.

"This woman's name is Zhu Wanning, and she is in the year of Fang and Lu."

"His own appearance and talent are all superior."

"His father is Zhu Guangli, the contemporary head of the Zhu family, and now serves as the county warden in Yunzhong."

"His mother is the sister of the head of the Meng family in Zhuo County."

"His brother is an envoy under his husband."

"The concubine thinks that if the husband is satisfied, this woman may be a side concubine."

The words fell.

Wang Qiujin slowly stretched out her hand and pointed to another portrait of a woman next to Zhu Wanning's portrait.

"This woman's name is Sanskrit Qian, and she is also in the year of Fang."

"His own talent and appearance are on par with Zhu Wanning."

"His father is the contemporary head of the Fan family, his brother is the sixth rank of the Hanlin Academy, and his uncle is the general political secretary of the fifth grade left."

"This woman and Zhu Wanning have always been inseparable, if the husband is satisfied, he can accept them together."

"And yesterday, the concubine noticed that these two daughters both had love for their husbands."

Wang Qiujin slowly raised her head and looked at Xu Yi with a clear gaze.

For Wang Qiujin, Xu Yin's concubine is destined to be an inevitable thing.

This is true from any point of view.

At the beginning, Wang Qiujin was also worried and scared in her heart.

With a new love, there are too many words to forget the old love.

If it weren't for that, Wang Qiujin wouldn't have been so abnormal last night.

But the good thing is.

Fortunately, Xu Yi did not disappoint her.

No.

To be exact.

It should be that Xu Yi has never disappointed her.

"Is the husband still satisfied with the two daughters?"

Wang Qiujin settled down, and looked at Xu with eyes as clear as water

Yi, asked slowly.

Xu Yi frowned slightly and glanced at the three portraits in Wang Qiujin's hand.

After hearing this, he slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to the last portrait and asked, "What is the background of this woman?"

Hearing this, Wang Qiujin looked in the direction of Xu Yi's finger.

After a hurried glance, he slowly introduced: "This woman's name is Qu Yutong, and she is also the year of Fang Jilu."

"His father is the first family of Yuyang County, and the contemporary head of the Qu family, Qu Ruian."

"Her mother is the daughter of the Liu family in Guangyang County."

「......」

「......」

A moment later.

Wang Qiujin slowly paused.

After seeing Xu Yi's brows furrowed, he looked contemplative.

Wang Qiujin immediately stopped speaking and gently snuggled into Xu Yi's arms.

Xu Yi unconsciously hugged Wang Qiujin a little tighter with both hands.

At the same time, the pros and cons are constantly being analyzed in my mind.

"Zhu Wanning, Zhu family."

"Qu Jia Qu Yutong."

"Sanskrit Sanskrit."

Putting aside for the time being, the daughter of the Fanjia family, the second largest family in Shanggu County, Sanskrit Wenqian will not mention.

The remaining two.

One is the daughter of the Zhu family, the largest family in Shanggu County.

One is the daughter of the Qu family, the first family in Yuyang County.

Whether it is family status or family background, these two are all in the middle of each other.

No matter which of these two Xu Yi marries, it will greatly stabilize his own power or strengthen his own power.

If both are married.

Although it can maximize its own strength in a short period of time.

But for the future, there will be more harm than good.

None of them.

These people are the most particular about the door, and the most about the reputation!

With Xu Yi's current strength, if he is only given the title of "lady", he wants to marry him home.

The move is tantamount to a humiliation.

Although the family behind it didn't dare to say anything on the surface, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not do that act against the yang and the yin behind their backs.

And if both are given the title of side concubine.

Although it has cut off the scourge of yang and yin in the future.

But it also cut off Xu Yi's future marriage.

......

......

Inside the dormitory of Changchun Palace.

Xu Yi's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.

Then he stretched out his hand and slowly pointed to Zhu Wanning's portrait.

said calmly: "The daughter of the Zhu family can be a side concubine."

Wang Qiujin nodded slightly when she heard this, and then slowly asked, "Does the husband only accept one side of the concubine this time?"

Xu Yi chuckled and pinched Wang Qiujin Bai Zhe's face.

Then he slowly explained: "One side of the concubine is enough, and more than one will not only be useless, but will suffer from it in the future."

The reason why he went around and around finally decided to make Nazhu Wanning a side concubine.

Its fundamental purpose is nothing more than to stabilize its own fundamentals.

Although Shanggu County and Yuyang County both belong to Yan Land, they both belong to Xu Yi's fiefdom.

But everything has a near and far.

Fiefdoms are naturally no exception.

Upper Valley County is the place where the royal palace is located, and a series of infrastructure such as the royal camp, iron-making workshops, forging workshops, and glass workshops are all located in Upper Valley County.

Therefore, the importance of Shanggu County is more than two or three percent higher than that of Yuyang County.

As the largest family in Shanggu County, the Zhu family can provide much more help than the Qu family in Yuyang County to a certain extent.

Besides.

As early as when Xu Yifang arrived in Yandi, the Zhu family clearly took a stand.

And between the two sides, there has been a lot of sincere cooperation over the years.

On the other hand, the Qu family of Yuyang County.

Although he showed his side after giving the Buddha bone relics yesterday

Inclined.

But it's just a tendency.

What will happen after that, Xu Yi still needs to go and win it over.

Compared with the two, it is natural to make a judgment.

Wang Qiujin nodded slightly when she heard this, and then chuckled: "In this case, the concubine will handle this matter for her husband on the same day."

Xu Yi's face pale slightly when he heard this.

Holding Wang Qiujin's arms, he couldn't help but tighten a little silently.

After counting the interest.

Xu Yi lowered his head and said softly in Wang Qiujin's ear, "I have wronged you."

"What's there to be wronged about." Wang Qiujin's eyelids slowly lifted, revealing her clear eyes as clear as water, and said softly, "The concubine knows her husband's mind, which has already made the concubine extremely satisfied."

......

......

Halfway through the hour.

In the south of Fuyang City, the ancestral home of the Zhu family.

Zhu Zongting, dressed in a snow-white Confucian shirt, slowly walked through the quaint buildings.

Walk across the exquisite courtyards.

Finally, he stopped in front of the main entrance of "Qingfeng Temple".

"Slave maid to meet the eldest young master."

Zhu Zongting stopped for a moment, and the two maids who were on duty in front of the main gate of Qingfeng Courtyard hurriedly walked out of the main gate and bowed down.

Zhu Zongting nodded slightly, then looked at the two of them and asked, "What about Wanning?" In the courtyard, you still went to the library pavilion?"

"Back to the eldest young master." Hearing this, a maid hurriedly bowed down again and saluted, "The eldest lady has not been discharged from the hospital yet."

Zhu Zongting nodded slightly when he heard this, and then slowly spoke: "As soon as I spread the word, it will be said that Young Master Ben has something important to find Wanning, please go to the Liangwei Pavilion in the back garden to see her."

"Yes." Hearing this, the maid of Qingfeng Courtyard bowed down again, and then slowly got up and walked towards Qingfeng Courtyard.

A moment later.

"What's the matter with my brother looking for my little sister?"

Zhu Wanning walked slowly to the pavilion in the back garden of the Zhu family with dignified steps that were extremely unsuitable for her age.

"Sit."

Zhu Zongting, who was sitting in the pavilion and was busy fiddling with the tea set, raised his head slightly, and then commanded softly.

After Zhu Wanning slowly sat down in the gazebo.

Zhu Zongting slowly poured in a cup of tea, and then gently pushed the teacup towards Zhu Wanning.

"How did you get along with the princess in the harem of the royal palace yesterday?"

Zhu Zongting asked slowly.

Zhu Wanning's outstretched palm paused slightly.

Then he slowly held the tea cup in front of him and replied softly: "The princess is approachable, and she gets along with Xiaomei and other powerful ladies and daughters, so she naturally gets along very harmoniously."

Zhu Zongting's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this. Then he looked at Zhu Wanning in front of him as usual.

asked directly to the point: "Yesterday, so many young women came, does the princess have the intention of taking concubines for the prince?"

Zhu Wanning's face pale slightly when she heard this.

After pondering for more than ten breaths, he slowly replied, "The princess should have the intention of taking a concubine."

"Yesterday when I was in the Changchun Palace of the Royal Palace, the princess asked me and other masked people to take off the veil on their faces."

"Since then, in casual conversation, I have looked at our faces many times without a trace."

The words fell.

Zhu Zongting's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

From Zhu Wanning's narration alone, she did not perceive the obvious meaning of "concubine".

Zhu Zongting sighed for a few breaths. Then he asked again, "Is there nothing else?"

Zhu Wanning raised the cup in her hand, took a sip of tea, and slowly replied, "Of course, it's not just that."

"In the small talk since then, the princess has repeatedly knocked on the family background of the ladies present."

"And whether we are in harmony with many other questions."

"Come to think of it, the princess is afraid that she has already had the intention of taking a concubine for the prince."
