Chapter 180: Settled
After the goldfish pond, the saint was obviously much colder to the prince, but he didn't expect that this time in the draft, in addition to giving Zhao Yuechan to the prince as a side concubine, he would also fill in the position of another side concubine for him.
And this one was even more unexpected, it turned out to be Ye Jinxi.
The position of the British Duke in the heart of the saint is very unusual, the first British Duke is the founding hero of the Great Enlightenment, and was given the Danshu iron coupon by Emperor Taizu, and the title is hereditary.
But it is precisely because of this that successive British princes have been very cautious and loyal to the saints, whether in the court or when it comes to the battle for the throne, they have never stood in line.
usually behaves very low-key, even in the court, he rarely makes sharp statements, in a ridiculous sentence, he is a tumbler, he can push it this way, and he can't push it that way.
But when it comes to crucial matters, they are always on the side of the Holy Being.
It is precisely because of this that people inside and outside the court attach great importance to the British government.
At present, the saint asked the prince to marry the British government, which is really unpredictable and the deep meaning here.
Could it be that the Holy One began to doubt the loyalty of the British duke?
Because of this matter inside and outside the court, there are many discussions, after all, this year's holy body is healthy, and it has the meaning of the important town of the court, and now the matter of choosing concubines for several princes can't help but make people not speculate.
The concubines of the remaining princes also landed one by one, and the three princes were the three girls of the Zhou family, that is, the Zhou Yuan that Xie Songhua had seen.
The princesses of the four princes are a little unknown, and they are not even the ladies of the capital, but the granddaughter of Fang Congwen, the great Confucian of Jiangnan, and the eldest girl of the Fang family.
The Fang family has not had any children in the court in recent years, although Fang Congwen is famous, but in fact there is no court power.
However, the fourth prince has always been a transparent person, and such an arrangement is reasonable.
The sixth prince married the daughter of the Hanlin scholar, as a prince who was not obvious to the foreign clan and his mother died early, this can be regarded as the saint's bothering to him.
The Seventh Prince did not settle down this time, which was unexpected and reasonable, after all, the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince were both born by noble concubines, and they had just turned eighteen this year, and they could be postponed for two years.
For this time, the Holy Lord chose concubines for all the princes, which caused speculation inside and outside the court.
Looking at this situation, it is clearly a balancing act with the prince and the third prince, and he did not take the prince to participate in the draft, but arranged two good in-laws for the prince.
Compared with the Xie family, although Zhou Wenyou of the Zhou family is also a cabinet minister, in fact, the family background of the Zhou family is not as good as the Xie family.
Zhou Wenyou's father was only a five-grade until he died, that is to say, the Zhou family started from Zhou Wenyou.
It is incomparable with the Xie family, who was the emperor of the old lady, not to mention, although the scale of the Xie family's Shensi Hall is not large, but the people who study in it are all talented young people in Beijing, and every time there is an imperial examination, there are two or three people on the list.
What's more, Xie Feiwu is also Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, there was a previous examination of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites who was suddenly unable to participate due to illness, and the Holy Lord appointed him to preside over on his behalf, and he also became the only one in this dynasty who obtained the qualification of the chief examiner of the examination as Langzhong, and he knew that the next personnel change in the Ministry of Rites, he was afraid that he would be able to enter the ranks of the three products at a young age.
Therefore, everyone is paying attention to which prince the Xie family daughter is assigned to as a concubine, not only because of the rumors on the two sisters, but also because of the hidden strength of the Xie family.
Compared with the court of Daqi, the Xie family's status is not prominent now, but there is obviously a lot of room for improvement.
originally thought that this draft would be an opportunity for the Xie family to step to a new level, but they didn't expect the Xie family to pass by this time.
For Xie Yuncang, it seems that he has escaped a catastrophe, in Xie Yuncang's opinion, now there are many parties in the court, and the holy heart is unpredictable, and it is more important than anything else to be safe at the moment.
Only the atmosphere in the Summer Palace was heavy, and Qi Shi saw his daughter sitting in a daze, and he didn't know what words to use to comfort her.
The people inside and outside the house didn't dare to come out, for fear of causing trouble, and they were the ones who were unlucky.
After Qi sighed sadly for countless times, he finally got up and walked over to Xie Shuhua.
"Shu'er......" As soon as Qi Shigang opened his mouth, he couldn't help choking, and he couldn't say the words behind him.
Xie Shuhua finally turned around, her delicate face was full of tears, and both eyes were red and swollen.
She looked at Qi Shi with teary eyes, and finally couldn't help but throw herself into Qi Shi's arms and cry.
Hearing her crying like this, Qi Shi was relieved, and it was better to cry than to keep it in his heart.
She hugged her daughter tightly, as if to protect her self-confidence, and stroked her back again and again, as if she had coaxed a little girl to sleep when she was a child.
Xie Shuhua's crying gradually lowered, turning into sobbing again and again, the sunlight moved away from her, and she jumped out of the window until she finally got up from Qi's arms.
"Mother, it's all my fault, it's me who is so ambitious and has unrealistic dreams, and now you are under house arrest.
I thought that although I was very unwilling, as long as I entered the palace, the family would not dare to do anything to you, and I would be able to take care of you more or less in the palace, even if I was afraid that I would talk nonsense in the palace, my father and they should respect you more.
But now, I am so easy to get out of the sea of suffering, and I think that the Holy Lord intends to let me enter the Three Princes' Mansion, or what the noble concubine said, but who knows...... Who knows......"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry again, "After what happened last time, my father already hated me very much, and he also said it clearly, and now he can clearly distinguish it, Xie Songhua is his daughter, and I am just an outsider."
But you still defend me like this, and the other four girls are sad, so they follow to make their father unhappy!
When I came back from the palace a few days ago, no one in the house smiled at me.
I heard from the waiter that when the fourth girl came back in the morning, everyone was so happy for her, and my grandmother took her hand and said cordially for a long time, asking the eldest aunt and the third aunt to hurry up and see each other for the fourth girl! ”
The Qi family didn't know these things, even if the people in the Summer Palace heard the news outside, they were ordered by Liang's mother not to spread it inside, for fear that the Qi family would not be happy when they heard it.
What's more, it's not just Xie Shuhua's business, now the An family and the Yu family are in charge inside and out, and the people under the Qi family have also touched the nails in many places, and they have long complained in private, but they just didn't make trouble.
Therefore, when Qi Shi heard this, he was shocked and angry, and looked at his daughter on the side and felt distressed, "They will watch people put down dishes now, and my daughter can also tolerate them to practice?!" ”
Xie Shuhua cried resentfully: "Mother, you must stop fighting with them for me, it's really not worth it, and my father is right, the fourth girl is your biological daughter, and I and you are just a passing fate." ”
"I'm not allowed to say that!" Qi Shi pressed her shoulder, pulled her away from his embrace, looked at her eyes seriously and said, "Don't worry, with me in this family, I won't allow others to bully you!" Moreover, I am Xie Yuncang's wife who has married three books and six rites, what do you think he really dares to do to me? Look, in two days, he's going to come to me himself. ”
Xie Shuhua looked at her suspiciously, "Why?" ”
