Early the next morning, He Suo followed Xuanwuzhuang back to the palace.

As I passed through the street outside, I heard the voices of the people talking.

"I heard that the emperor is going to choose a side concubine for the prince, is it true?"

"Of course it's true, how dare anyone talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"Didn't you hear that the relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess is very good, why did you agree to let the crown prince accept the side concubine?"

"You don't know this, my uncle's eldest cousin's nephew, who works in the East Palace, heard that the crown princess has been in poor health since her miscarriage, and the queen feels that the prince can't live without children, so she wants to give the prince a side concubine."

"So that's the case, I'll just say, it's clear that the relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess has always been very good, why did you suddenly propose to accept the concubine."

"It's a little inappropriate to do this, the crown princess is already very uncomfortable when something like this happens, and she has to let the prince take another side concubine back."

"What's the use of the crown princess being uncomfortable, in the eyes of the royal family, the heir is always more important than the emotion."

"This is too unfair for the crown princess, is the miscarriage what she wants to happen? The children are gone, and now there is one more person to rob her husband. ”

"Marrying in the royal family, it is inevitable to face this kind of thing, not to mention that her husband is the current prince and the emperor in the future."

"That's it, these things are not for us people to discuss, and it is another disaster to be heard by someone with a heart."

"That's right, forget it, go and do your own thing."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you all said that the prince is going to accept a side concubine, when did you start choosing a side concubine?"

"Don't you know this, it's the Double Ninth Festival in a few days. When the time comes, the young ladies of the dignitaries and nobles will be invited to enter the palace for the sake of the festival, and then the right candidates will be selected from them. ”

Listening to these words, He Suoyi was a little at a loss, it turned out that the prince was going to marry a side concubine, was it already known to everyone? You can hear people talking about it everywhere on the streets.

And it turned out to be the Double Ninth Festival a few days later, could it be that the queen is so anxious? I don't even want to give her too much buffer time.

But what can she do, she has already said what she should say in front of the queen, but it is obviously useless, so she can only wait now, and even when the side concubine enters the door, she has to greet her with a smile.

Thinking of this, He Suoyi smiled a little self-deprecatingly, what would be there to greet her with a smile when the time came, if Shen Huo's heart went elsewhere, I was afraid that someone would step on her head.

Shaking his head, He Suoyi continued to walk in the direction of the palace, no longer taking the things he heard to heart.

And it is not only the people on the street who are talking about the prince's appointment of a side concubine, but also those dignitaries and nobles who are also very concerned about this matter.

For example, in the mansion of an adult at this time, there were several officials sitting in the pavilion in the back garden, and at first glance, those officials were all daughters in the family, and their age was in line with the conditions for the selection of concubines.

An adult who looked quite shrewd said: "This time, the second daughter of my house wants to go and give it a try, and several adults must know something about her, not to mention that the victory is in hand, but she also has some numbers in her heart." ”

The other adult seemed to have no confidence in his daughter, and followed the words of the previous adult: "Lord Chen. We know the second daughter in your house, and there is a great chance of being selected this time, if you are destined to soar, don't forget us. ”

The adult on the other side was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and retorted: "This is a bit premature, the eldest daughter in my house is not bad, and it is not known who will win or lose at that time." ”

Some people didn't care about this quarrel, and said lightly: "It's a little early for you to say this, have you forgotten that there is General Du's daughter?" ”

"Will General Du's daughter be interested in the crown prince's side concubine?"

"Presumably General Du doesn't want his daughter to live under people, right?"

"But who of you knows what General Du thinks, and besides, General Du's daughter may not necessarily live under others, with General Du's mind and scheming, it is not difficult to find a way to pull the crown princess off the throne."

"There is some truth in this, but who can say for sure."

"Let's not think about it so much now, let's see what the situation is on General Du's side first."

"Well, if General Du intends to let his daughter compete for the crown prince's side concubine, then I won't think about anything else, after all, no matter what, I won't let my daughter humiliate herself."

"Let's act when we see the opportunity, at this time we will disperse first, if General Du knows about these things we are discussing, then whether he has thought of letting the young lady of Du Mansion compete for the position of the crown prince and concubine, he will have a prejudice against us."

"In that case, let's disperse."

At this point, the positions of several adults in the DPRK and China who have more right to speak can basically be seen.

At this time, Dufu was also in chaos.

General Du intends to let his daughter Du Qinyue be the prince's concubine.

But Du Qinyue's mother was unwilling, because Du Qinyue's mother knew the relationship between the prince and He Suyi, and guessed that marrying a side concubine was just an arrangement between the queen and the emperor, Shen Huo did not agree, and did not want Du Qinyue to go to the East Palace to be wronged.

General Du felt that Du Qinyue's mother's thinking was a little narrow, after all, with the status of the crown prince and the status of his Du family in the court, Du Qinyue couldn't stand the grievances.

When the two disagreed, they quarreled in front of their subordinates.

Mrs. Du was really excited, and she didn't care whether General Du would be angry, so she said directly: "Do you really want to ignore your daughter's happiness for the sake of the so-called interests?" ”

General Du was naturally dissatisfied when he heard Mrs. Du's words, and retorted: "Is all this for my interests, why are you so sure that your daughter will not be happy after marrying into the Prince's Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Du didn't believe General Du's words at all, and said coldly: "Do you think I don't know how harmonious the relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess is? After her daughter got married, no one would care about her, so it was better to let her daughter stay in Du Mansion and continue to be the beautiful Miss Du family! ”

General Du really began to get angry, and said fiercely: "Women's opinion, it's no wonder that those people in the market say that you women have long hair and short knowledge, I thought that you are different, madam, but I didn't expect that it is still the case in these big things." ”

When Mrs. Du heard this, she wanted to laugh a little, and asked in a smiling but mocking tone: "At this time, I have become a woman's opinion, why do you want to listen to those opinions that are given to you on weekdays?" If it doesn't make sense, why don't you ignore it? ”

General Du naturally heard the ridicule in Mrs. Du's words, but General Du was not like other generals, his mouth was also very sharp, and he said to Mrs. Du: "You talk about weekdays now, so why do you want to be so thoughtful about things on weekdays, and you become so blind when you meet your daughter?" ”

Mrs. Du was speechless for a while, but then asked: "Then you said that after your daughter went to the prince's mansion, how she fought for the crown princess, I don't believe that you don't know anything about the relationship between the prince and the crown princess." ”

General Du also knew that if Mrs. Du didn't let go of this matter, then Du Qinyue would still listen to some of Mrs. Du's opinions, so he said patiently: "Even if the relationship between the two of them is really good, now the queen has begun to dislike the crown princess, as long as the daughter can be loved by the queen, it doesn't matter whether the prince is favored or not." ”

As a result, I didn't expect that it was better not to say this, but after Mrs. Du heard this, the anger that had just calmed down came up again, and she asked angrily: "In the end, it's not for your benefit." ”

General Du was a little speechless for a while, and asked helplessly: "Why did you get to this sentence again?" ”

When Mrs. Du saw General Du like this, no matter how angry she was, she still said in a cold tone: "Isn't the most important thing for my daughter's family to be favored by her husband after marriage?" But you said that as long as you can get the queen's love, the rest is not so important, so it's not just to stabilize your daughter's position in the prince's mansion. ”

General Du was even more helpless, and said: "Can't you let me finish my words, it's basically impossible to get the prince's favor as soon as you enter the prince's mansion, so why can't you start from the queen's side first?" ”

Mrs. Du was a little embarrassed when she heard this, it turned out that she didn't understand what she said, not that General Du didn't care if her daughter was happy.

But even if he knew that he was wrong, it was impossible for Mrs. Du's character to be soft, so she said forcefully: "That's also your fault, who made you not make it clear at the beginning, and you were so slow to speak." ”

This is why General Du and Mrs. Du have been together for a long time. The two of them have always been in this mode of getting along, if they get along like this with their own wives as ordinary officials, then that lady should probably receive a letter of resignation.

But after all, General Du is a military general, and he is not the kind of Wen Zou Zou temperament, if he finds a young lady who is full of poetry and etiquette, it is estimated that he will not be able to stand it.

Then Mrs. Du continued to ask: "Then if according to what you said, after the daughter becomes the crown prince's concubine, will she first go to please the queen?" ”

General Du asked with some amusement: "At this time, I began to think about what happened after my daughter became the prince's concubine, wasn't she still unwilling to let her daughter be the prince's concubine just now?" ”

Mrs. Du was slightly embarrassed and said to General Du: "That's not to blame you for not saying it clearly just now, but now you are embarrassed to make fun of me." ”

General Du hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, so don't be angry anymore?" ”

Mrs. Du rarely saw General Du's flamboyant appearance, and felt a little strange for a while, but she didn't forget to answer: "That's it, I didn't listen to you properly and lost my temper privately, and this matter will pass today." ”
