Chapter 174, the selection of a son-in-law
Diligent Palace.
On a small chessboard, black and white are staggered, as if the confrontation is fierce.
With a "snap", Yan Zheng dropped a sunspot and spoke at the same time: "I remember, your eldest son is eighteen years old, and he hasn't decided to marry yet?" β
Qingning Marquis Meng Dongchuan hurriedly put down the white son in his hand, got up and arched his hand: "A courtier can be mediocre, so I want him to study hard for a few more years, and it is not too late to discuss family affairs." β
Yan Zheng waved his hand: "You don't have to be so formal, sit down and continue to play chess." β
"Yes." Meng Dongchuan sat back at this time, trying to concentrate and deal with this chess game.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zheng smiled again and said: "Speaking of which, my eldest daughter is also seventeen, and it is time to choose a colt for her." β
Hearing this, the Marquis of Qingning got up again, and then directly bowed down in his clothes: "Although the courtier was graced by the former queen and was able to enter the palace to study, but his qualifications are really stupid, how can he be worthy of the lord?!" β
Yan Zheng carefully looked at the nervous look on Qingninghou's face, "You don't have to be modest, I have always been very satisfied with the Meng family's upbringing. Although Empress Xianning is gone, I always miss her from time to time. As he spoke, his face was quite sentimental.
Meng Dongchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The emperor's affection is the blessing of the first queen, and it is also the blessing of the entire Meng family. β
Yan Zheng slowly bowed his head: "I thought, your mother is the Yu family, and Concubine Xiang is also the Yu family." Therefore, Concubine Xiang also agrees with this matter. "βIt's just a joke not to get married.
Meng Dongchuan couldn't help but feel anxious, "Concubine Xiang is the Yu family, but I'm afraid that it will be because of the affection of relatives, so it is difficult to refuse." The dog is really not a weapon, and I hope the emperor will think twice! β
"You really didn't mean that?" Yan Zheng asked with squinted eyes.
Meng Dongchuan gritted his teeth and said: "The minister will never dare to have such intentions!" β
Yan Zheng's eyes had already leaked a trace of coldness. Although he never revealed the intention of getting married, Wangshu summoned Meng Shu into the palace and called the Chen family to accompany him, so with Meng Dongchuan's cleverness, how could he not guess that his daughter would also have the opportunity to marry into the royal family?
But it's just a chance.
For the sake of his daughter's opportunity, he directly refused to let his eldest son still be the master?
This is too much to lose.
But Meng Dongchuan insisted on making this "gain outweighs the loss", which can only show that he has already planned.
A princess and a concubine are inseparable.
Unless......
He is not looking for a little princess, let alone a future princess.
Just like back then, the Meng family married the brilliant Meng Ying to me.
Yan Zheng closed his eyes, in the end, I ignored it, I only remembered Meng Ying's virtue, but I almost forgot that before I ascended the throne, she was also quite ambitious.
"Get up, if you don't want to, will I force your son to marry my daughter?" Yan Zheng said and smiled kindly, so that's it.
"I heard from the concubine that your daughter is also very outstanding, and she looks a little like her aunt."
The topic came to his daughter, Meng Dongchuan was overjoyed, and then he got up and said modestly: "The concubine is wrongly praised." β
Yan Zheng pointed to the chessboard: "Continue to play chess." β
"Yes!" Meng Dongchuan hurriedly dropped the word, this time he was in a hurry to fall, but he played a bad move. Even if the emperor seized the opportunity, although Meng Dongchuan tried his best to deal with it, he still lost all the games after all.
"The emperor's chess skills have improved again, and the minister has lost again." Losing to the emperor in chess is not a shameful thing, Meng Dongchuan happily abandoned his son and admitted defeat.
Yan Zheng smiled: "It's not that I'm refining again, it's that I'm making an off-the-board move, and your mind is not on the chessboard, how can you win?" β
"Yes, it's the minister's inattentiveness." Meng Dongchuan hurriedly bowed his hand.
Yan Zheng smiled gently: "When my son is older, he should make a marriage and start a family." I don't know if I'm talking about Meng Yuanqing or the second prince.
"Yes, the minister understands!" Meng Dongchuan couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yan Zheng: No, you don't understand.
A few days later, I heard that the emperor summoned young talents from all over Beijing to test their talents and martial arts one by one. Hearing this, the eldest princess was overjoyed, secretly skipped class without saying anything, and ran to Yue Wangshu's Yuanzhi Palace.
"Noble concubine, let's go to the school and have a look!" Today is the day of the equestrian examination of the children of the school, saying that it is the examination of the school's civil and martial arts, but it is clearly the choice of a son-in-law.
Yue Wangshu glanced at him with disgust: "Don't mess around, if your mother knows, I will beat your ass carefully!" β
"Even if I get spanked, I'm going to see it!" She pouted, "This is my choice of a colt!" How could I not go and see? β
But I saw that she was wearing a delicate pink jacket and a willow green horse-faced skirt today, which was bright red and green, but when she wore it on such a delicate and cute little daughter, she was indescribably glamorous.
In fact, Yue Wangshu also wanted to appreciate the young fresh meat, but after Yun Shu's incident, he was inevitably worried that Yan Lao Liu would be mad, so he didn't dare to go.
But...... It seems that she is now being dragged by the concubine......
"Okay, let's take a look at it from a distance." Yue Wangshu said with a smile.
The scale of the teaching field in the palace is comparable to that of a football field, and the sycamore trees are planted around it, so Yue Wangshu has already made a public opinion, she and the two of them only brought personal maids, and they carefully leaned forward, and they all hid behind the sycamore trees.
That's right, it's voyeurism!
At this moment, the young and handsome men riding tall horses are racing around the school field, the neighing of the horses is endless, and a lot of dust is flying on the teaching field, so that it is even more hidden.
In a short time, handsome young men on horses came to this place.
Two heads poked out from behind the plane tree.
"Your concubine, the tall and mighty leader is much stronger than Meng Yuanqing!" She was a little excited.
Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "The one riding a white horse in the back is even more handsome!" β
"Uh-huh! It really looks better than Pan An! Wei Yuan's face suddenly turned red, "Meng Yuanqing is not worthy of lifting shoes for him!" β
Yue Wangshu: Look at the handsome guy, don't always diss your cousin.
"The Marquis of Qingning has already kissed Meng Yuanqing...... "People didn't pester you."
She stuck out her tongue, and the group of young men on big horses happened to gallop past here. The young man who looked like Pan An was alert, and when he noticed that there was someone behind the plane tree, he looked straight over.
At this moment, he was facing each other with his eyes.
Her Royal Highness the arrogant Princess blushed and hurriedly hid behind the plane tree, "Oops, we have been discovered!" β
Yue Wangshu smiled: "You were discovered!" "βshe had already retracted her head.
She covered her hot face, "It's over, will he tell his father!" β
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but say, "He didn't know that you were a princess." β
"Oh yes." Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"However, sooner or later, your father will find out." In front of the emperor, there is no reason not to defend tightly, although the two of them slipped in, it is impossible to hide it.
Wei Wei's eyes widened, "Then let's go quickly!" β
But it was obviously late, and Zhang Ji, the chief administrator of the imperial front, walked over with a smile, "The emperor said, please ask the mother and the princess to go to Yanqing Palace to wait for a while." β
The face of the concubine was like ashes in an instant, but she still didn't regret it!
