Chapter 470: If you want to be a concubine, you have to die first!
Lao Zhu is an anxious son, he said at night that he wanted to see his granddaughter-in-law, and within a few days, he found an excuse, invited officials with appropriate female dependents into the palace, and arranged for Concubine Guo Hui to also make a bureau.
Lao Zhu just accompanied the nobles and officials to drink three rounds of wine and left, and went back to see the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law.
Compared with the solemnity of the front hall, the Kunning Palace is much more lively.
A group of little girls warbler Yanyan, even if everyone only says a few words, the chirping is like a vegetable market.
This gave Concubine Guo Hui a lot of headaches, and she wanted to scold them, but she was afraid of scaring these children. But no matter what, these little girls are too noisy.
Just when Concubine Guo Hui had a headache, Qin Deshun's duck voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
The concubines, wives, and ladies of wealthy families in the Kunning Palace were all taken aback when they heard that His Majesty had arrived, and then they each got up and left the table, kneeling on the ground and waiting to greet His Majesty the Emperor.
Lao Zhu walked into Kunning Palace, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and regretted it a little in his heart.
I was also well-fed, why did I run in person, let Concubine Guo Hui leave a few little girls who looked like Zhou Zheng to look at each other slowly.
Since I've come here, I can only take a hard look.
Lao Zhu crossed the crowd and came to sit down next to Concubine Guo Hui, and then spoke lightly.
"Let's all be flat!"
"Your Majesty Xie......"
Although Lao Zhu had flattened them, they still only dared to stand at the table, and no one dared to sit down.
Xu Miaojin dared, and even half of her ass was already next to her, but she was helplessly picked up by her own mother and sister-in-law, so she could only stand aside honestly.
Xu Miaojin's small actions immediately attracted Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu had a good impression of this girl, and felt the same lazy temperament as his own rebel grandson.
"That's the daughter of the Xu Da family, right?"
"Talk back!"
When Xu Miaojin heard this, she hurriedly threw down her mother and sister-in-law, and came to Lao Zhu to pay respects.
"Courtier Xu Miaojin visits His Majesty and meets Concubine Hui......
Lao Zhu asked amiably.
"How's your body good?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers have long been so neat, now they can catch chickens when they go up the mountain and catch fish when they go down the river!"
Zhu Mingjue, as a princess to be married, naturally wants to participate in this kind of banquet, and when she saw Xu Miaojin say this, she hurriedly added a few words to her.
"Grandpa Huang, Aunt Xu is very good, she is more familiar with catching toads than Uncle Fifteen, and she can also use a slingshot to shoot birds......
Zhu Mingjue's addition directly made Xu Huizu's wife and the old lady of the Xu family, Xie Shi, half angry.
Clear-eyed people know that today is a blind date conference, and their daughter has made a name for catching toads, how will she marry in the future!
Lao Zhu listened very happily, not only laughing heartlessly, but also messing up the mandarin duck score.
"Hahaha!"
"It's a natural pair with Zhu Zhi's bastard!"
"Why don't you be our fifteenth daughter-in-law, let's see if you can restrain Zhu Zhi's bastard!"
This is to make it clear that the marriage is going to be given, if the Xu family agrees to this family business, they should come forward to thank them at this time.
The Xu family naturally agreed, the Xu family has three daughters, the eldest daughter married King Yan as a princess, and the second daughter also married the acting king Zhu Gui, if the third can also marry the vassal king, it would be great.
However, before the Xu family's mother, Xie Shi, stepped forward to thank her, Xu Miaojin, who was kneeling in front of Lao Zhu, refused this family business.
"The courtiers thank Your Majesty, but the courtiers can't marry His Royal Highness the King of Liao, and His Royal Highness the King of Liao doesn't like the courtiers, but Guo Qian, the daughter of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding!"
"A courtier can't win people's love!"
Lao Zhu was angry when he mentioned this, originally he wanted to marry Tang He's daughter to Zhu Zhi, but he was not angry with this kid, and he hooked up with the daughter of the Guo family.
Now after Xu Miaojin said this, it can be said that it is known all over the city, even if he doesn't agree.
However, Lao Zhu really likes Xu Miaojin very much, even if he can't let him marry Zhu Zhi, he hopes that she will become his daughter-in-law.
"Alas!"
"Zhu Zhi, unlucky bastard!"
"Three girls, you grew up with us, let's give you a grace now, which son of our Zhu family you like, we will marry you to!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the entire Kunning Palace was quiet.
Since ancient times, I have only heard of the royal picking, but how have you ever heard of the daughters of courtiers picking and choosing, and they are still picking among the princes?
The Xu family's face is so big, it's so big!
Xu Miaojin was also stunned by Lao Zhu's grace, but when he thought of Zhu Quan, Zhu Zhan, and Zhu Terrier, he felt a greasy feeling in his heart.
The remaining princes of the old Zhu family are not as good as Zhu Zhi, they are really literate, martial arts, and ugly......
"Courtier, thank you for your grace!"
"But the courtiers still want to honor and respect their relatives for a few more years, and they don't want to marry too early."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he could only feel infinite melancholy and regret in his heart.
Needless to say, other people's children didn't take a fancy to their own bastards!
Lao Zhu ate a soft nail at Xu Miaojin's place, and could only look helplessly at Concubine Guo Hui, who ordered someone to take out a bunch of palace flowers, sachets and other things for rewards.
Lao Zhu looked at a lot of things, but he was not very satisfied, and finally saw a handful of ruyi on the shelf, and immediately ordered someone to take it.
"Give this jade Ruyi to you, I hope you can find Ruyi Langjun in the future!"
Wei Guogong's daughter-in-law and Xu Miaojin's wife hurriedly ran over to excuse themselves.
"Please take back your majesty's fate, the little girl is blessed, and she can't afford such a valuable reward!"
"Old lady, please get up!"
"We also watched this child grow up, since our son-in-law is not worthy of this child, we can only bless this child for Brother Xu Da!"
"It's a little girl, I hope Your Majesty won't be surprised......
"Miaojin, don't hurry up and thank Your Majesty!"
When Xu Miaojin heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Lao Zhu, and then respectfully took Yu Ruyi and ran back to show off with the two little nieces of the Feng family.
Lao Zhu looked at Xu Miaojin's posture, and a burst of melancholy rose in his heart again.
This woman is open-minded, if it weren't for the difference in seniority, it would be excellent to give Zhu Yunxi that bastard.
After Lao Zhu saw Xu Miaojin last time, he called the daughters of several noble families such as the Zhao family and the Mu family to come over to take a look.
Not to mention that the reverse grandson has a good eye, these few are all beautiful embryos, but I don't know what the temperament is, so I have to let Concubine Guo Hui help inquire.
Lao Zhu also rewarded palace flowers, sachets and other things, which can be regarded as an eye for the eldest grandson.
Lao Zhu wanted to get up and leave the table after meeting these little girls, but was stopped by Concubine Guo Hui with her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the wife and daughter of the founding father's family are also here, don't you see you?"
"Oh?"
As soon as Lao Zhu heard this, he hurriedly sat down again, and ordered someone to bring the wife and daughter of the Chang family up.
Although the title of the founding duke has been cut, Chang Sheng has a nephew who is the emperor's grandson, and this title can be made up for sooner or later.
Therefore, when the nobles chatted with each other, they were still commensurate with the founding fathers.
Chang Sheng's daughter-in-law Tang did not come alone, but brought her own daughter and several daughters of Chang Mao's family into the palace.
"Concubine Tang Clan to meet Your Majesty!"
"You guys hurry up and see Your Majesty, why are you still stupid?"
Chang Sheng's daughter-in-law urged like this, and the daughters and nieces behind him nominated to meet him.
"The courtier, Chang Qinyin, greets Your Majesty."
"Courtiers often visit Your Majesty in chess......
"Courtiers Changshu Greets Your Majesty......
Lao Zhu said yes when he saw it, giving enough face to the mother and daughter of the Chang family. In the end, he asked the Chang family if they had any difficulties, in addition to a pair of palace flowers and sachets for each person, and an additional ten cloud brocades.
Lao Zhu rewarded it
A bunch of things, and finally set his eyes on Chang Qinyin.
"How old is this kid?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this daughter is the daughter of her deceased brother Chang Mao, who is sixteen years old this year......
Lao Zhu nodded when he heard this, and secretly wrote down the woman's name.
Concubine Guo Hui saw that Lao Zhu had the intention of leaving again, and hurriedly called her distant niece over to introduce her.
"Your Majesty, this is the Wang Erni I mentioned to you earlier."
"His father is a city gate official, although the official position is not high, but this child's family education is excellent, he has been enlightened since he was a child, and he has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......
"Wang Erni?"
"Queen Erni to meet Your Majesty, long live our emperor, long live, long live......
"Flatten!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lao Zhu stared at Wang Erni, and saw that the child looked quite thoughtful, and the etiquette was in place, so there was really nothing to find fault with.
It's just that when he thinks of his father's background, Lao Zhu is always a little tired in his heart.
If he marries Zhu Yunwen the daughter of a city gate official as a daughter-in-law, he won't make this child angry to death, right?
"Reward!"
When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she hurriedly rewarded the palace flowers and sachets, and gave two additional brocades, which can be regarded as a special favor for this woman.
Lao Zhu knew that Concubine Guo Hui was deliberately increasing the reward, and wanted to finalize the marriage between Zhu Yunwen and this woman, but Lao Zhu did not stop it, but let Concubine Guo Hui play.
Lao Zhu got up and left after looking at the people who should be watching, and after Lao Zhu left, Kunning Palace resumed its usual liveliness again.
It's just that this time the excitement is obviously a little different, and the air seems to be permeated with the sour smell of Shaanxi old vinegar.
"Yo yo yo, I can't see it, your daughter of a little city gate official can even get His Majesty's reward!"
Wang Erni didn't answer when she heard this, but just ate the food in small bites.
Although her family is related to Concubine Guo Hui, the relatives are too far away, if Concubine Guo Hui didn't take the initiative to mention it, his family would have forgotten that there were such prominent relatives.
Therefore, she didn't want anything else to enter the palace this time, she would talk about it after she was full. As for what prince chooses a concubine, the marriage of a wealthy family has nothing to do with her.
When the wealthy ladies saw that Wang Erni ignored them, they felt bored, so they picked others to tease.
The main force of flirting is naturally Zhao Paner, Feng Baoer, and Mu Xichun, who were rewarded with palace flowers and sachets by His Majesty.
In principle, Xu Miaojin, who was given jade Ruyi, should be teased the most, but who let this female woman not let her eyebrows, and the thief with her small fist slipped away, and the idle people did not dare to provoke at all.
Therefore, they can only throw the sour on the other three.
One said that the rise of the Zhao family was in sight, and it was time to pay a big salute when he saw the sister of the Zhao family soon. One said that the Feng family is pampered, and the Feng family will have a concubine in the future.
However, no matter what others say, the three of them made up their minds to play dead.
Since the three of them received His Majesty's reward and became the focus of everyone, the three of them have been cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of being picked out by others and missing out on a good marriage.
Princess!
Which of the wealthy ladies in the main hall didn't come to become the princess?
The palace banquet ended soon, and Concubine Guo Hui naturally wouldn't let people come in vain, and rewarded each wealthy daughter with a pair of palace flowers.
Feng Sheng had been paying attention to the movements of the harem for a long time, and when he heard that the harem was scattered, he ignored the pull of the robes in the army, and threw everyone away from the palace on the spot.
When he saw his daughter holding two delicate boxes in her hands, Feng Sheng showed an innocent smile like a silly hug on his face.
"Baby granddaughter, hurry up and show grandpa, Concubine Guo Hui has rewarded you with something good!"
When Feng Bao'er heard this, he hurriedly handed the box to his grandfather as if he were offering a treasure, and Feng Sheng took the box and was about to open it on the spot, which made Feng Bao'er anxious.
"Grandpa, get in the car and see!"
Feng Sheng looked at the crowd of people leaving the palace in front of the palace gate, and also realized that this matter was inappropriate.
"Yes, yes!"
"Let's get in the car and take a sneak peek!"
Feng Sheng got into the carriage with his granddaughter in his arms, and then hurried
Hurriedly got in, and couldn't wait to open the brocade box. When he saw that there was only a pair of palace flowers in the box, plus a sachet, Feng Sheng's old face collapsed.
"That's it?"
"Grandpa, this is a gift from His Majesty!"
"Moreover, only the daughters of Zhao Shangshu's family, the daughters of Mu Ying's family, the daughters of the Chang family and their granddaughters have sachets, and other ladies who enter the palace do not."
Feng Sheng looked at his granddaughter with an arrogant face, and his mind suddenly came alive.
The Chang family can be ignored directly, these are real cousins, and the upper position will never choose the princess from among them
As for Zhao Shangshu's family and Mu Ying's family......
It should be the big enemy of his granddaughter competing for the princess.
And according to the practice of His Majesty the Emperor choosing the crown princess, it is very likely that she is the daughter of the Mu Ying family. Mu Ying died of illness, leaving an orphan girl alive.
The status is not only prominent, but there is no need to worry about relatives interfering in politics, it can be said that he is a perfect match for the emperor's grandson!
After Feng Sheng thought of this, he admonished his granddaughter.
"Bao'er, you have to get closer to the Mu family sisters in the future!"
"Our family doesn't have a concubine, it's good to be a side concubine!"
Feng Bao'er asked stupidly.
"Grandpa, why can't I be a concubine?"
Feng Sheng glared at his granddaughter fiercely when he heard this.
"If you want to be a concubine, you have to die a father first, plus a grandfather!"
"As long as your father and I are still alive, you will die and be a concubine!"
"Uh-uh......"
Feng Bao'er couldn't figure out what the relationship between being the concubine and her dead father was, but for an old minister like Feng Sheng, he took it for granted.
His Majesty the Emperor attaches the greatest importance to the inheritance of imperial power, and will never allow his relatives to interfere in politics.
Therefore, the concubine Taisun Zheng either will not be too high, or her father and brother will die, just like the Chang family back then.
Therefore, the concubine Taisun Zheng either will not be too high, or her father and brother will die, just like the Chang family back then.
Zhao Pan'er returned to the Qin family, obviously feeling that the Qin family treated her differently.
not only opened a small building for her alone, but even added several people to the mother-in-law. Zhao Paner looked at the palace flowers and sachets on the table, with a faint smile on her face.
If what she expected was correct, her uncle must have known about his affairs in the palace. Sure enough, at dinnertime, my uncle brought his wife to visit him.
"Is Pan'er resting?"
"Not yet!"
"Pan'er has seen her uncle and aunt."
Mrs. Qin hurriedly helped Zhao Pan'er up, and then said with a smile.
"It's all a family, so you don't need so many courtesies!"
"I heard that Your Majesty personally rewarded you with palace flowers and sachets?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Pan'er hurriedly took the things over and asked Qin Kui and his wife to take a look.
Qin Kui didn't understand this, just look at it, Mrs. Qin picked up a palace flower and looked left and right, then looked at the stitches and materials of the sachet, and praised it a few times before putting it down.
"Niece of the Zhao family, tell your uncle if you lack anything here, although your uncle is not wealthy, he will not treat you badly."
Hearing this, Zhao Paner hurriedly got up to thank him.
"The little girl is already grateful for being taken in by her uncle, and the aunt takes care of her very well on weekdays, and she has never been short of anything......
"Okay, you can rest for a while, you have to go to the palace to study tomorrow......
"Yes......"
Qin Kui just sat down for a while, and then led his wife away. The two walked through the moon gate, and Mrs. Qin said with envy.
"The girl of the Zhao family is really a good person!"
"The concubine looks at the palace flowers and sachets are not ordinary things, presumably Your Majesty likes this woman and wants to choose this woman as the princess."
Qin Kui shook his head when he heard this.
"It's hard to say!"
"It stands to reason that Your Majesty should choose Zhao Paner, his father's official position is not obvious, so he doesn't have to worry about his relatives interfering in politics......
「
But the Imperial Emperor has a resolute personality, and I am afraid that in the end, this matter will depend on His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson's own will, and whether the old emperor likes it or not is not so important."
Mrs. Qin said with a puzzled face when she heard this.
"Will the imperial grandson look down on our family Pan'er?"
"Pan'er, this child has grown up with an old body, whether it is appearance, temperament, or talent, it is all first-class outstanding."
"In the whole world, only the imperial grandson can match it!"
"By the way, the concubine heard that a few days ago, the imperial grandson summoned Pan'er alone, and left Pan'er to serve in the Wenhua Palace......
"Master, do you think the imperial grandson will also be interested?"
