Chapter 221: Concubine and Marriage

The next evening, Inshou Palace.

Today, Empress Lu is very happy.

Because of Emperor Jingxing, Liu Yu and Huaiqing are here.

It's been a long time since they've sat down at the same table to eat.

"Your Majesty, you taste it, this is the soup made by the concubine herself." Empress Lu pointed to a bowl of soup on the table, and said softly to Emperor Jing Xing.

"The queen has a heart." Emperor Jing Xing scooped a spoonful of soup, put it in his mouth, and after tasting it for a while, he nodded and said, "Your queen mother's craftsmanship is becoming more and more skillful." ”

"You all try it, no worse than those imperial chefs." Emperor Jing Xing praised.

Liu Yu smiled, honestly scooped himself a bowl of soup, and then glanced at Princess Huaiqing quietly.

Seeing this, Huaiqing was a little helpless, but still said: "Father, mother." ”

"Erchen feels that the emperor's brother seems to have matured and stabilized a lot more recently."

Seeing that Huaiqing took the initiative to talk, Emperor Jing Xing nodded with a smile and said, "It's still thanks to Li Changkong, this kid." ”

"I invited so many great Confucians to do Zhan things for you, and you didn't learn anything at all."

"On the contrary, it was Li Changkong, at a young age, who just had the idea of giving it a try, and sealed a Shaozhan matter."

"Who would have thought that it really worked."

The more Emperor Jingxing talked, the happier he became, when he named Li Changkong as Shao Zhan, there were many objections in the court.

But as it turned out, he was still very wise.

Doesn't the change of the crown prince now explain everything?

"In this case, the imperial brother is not too young, should this matter of concubines be put on the agenda?" Huaiqing said.

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jing Xing and Empress Lu were slightly stunned at first, and then nodded in unison.

The latter even said repeatedly: "Yu'er is not young anymore, this matter of taking a concubine, it is indeed time to think about it." ”

"Li Changkong's child is a few years younger than Yu'er, and now they are all married."

"What's more, Yu'er is still the prince, if the crown princess is set earlier, the court and the outside will be more stable."

Emperor Jingxing bowed his head and said: "What the queen said is good, but it is precisely because she is the prince that this princess is particularly important, and she needs to be carefully selected." ”

Empress Lu nodded when she heard this, and said, "This matter is left to the concubines." ”

"The queen is doing things, and I am naturally relieved."

According to the tradition of Daqian, the matter of accepting the crown princess has always been handled by the queen.

Therefore, it is only fitting that Empress Lu is responsible for this matter.

Seeing that Liu Yu had been drinking soup with her head down and not speaking, Queen Lu couldn't help asking, "Yu'er, do you have a beloved?" ”

"If there is, you can bring it into the palace and let your father and mother take a look."

"If it's suitable, you don't have to go through a lot of trouble choosing a concubine."

Liu Yu shook his head when he heard this, and said honestly: "The marriage is all up to the father and the queen mother, and the sons and daughters have no favorite people. ”

"If that's the case, then why do you have such a complexion?" Emperor Jing Xing straightened his face and said in a slightly dull tone.

When Liu Yu heard this, he instantly shrunk his neck, like a mouse encountering a cat.

"Father, it's not that the sons don't want to."

"It's just that Brother King Jing is much older than his sons, and he hasn't even married a wife, if his sons take a concubine first, wouldn't it be unruly?"

"This ......" Emperor Jing Xing was stopped by Liu Yu's words.

In Daqian, it is true that everything is done in an orderly manner.

Although Liu Jing is not a descendant, he is a child of the royal family after all, and he is indeed much older than Liu Yu.

So I really can't find fault with what he said.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Jing Xing nodded and said, "If you can take this into account, it means that you are thoughtful, and it's not bad." ”

"Jing'er's age is indeed not young, why don't you do it together this time?" Emperor Jing Xing looked at Empress Lu and said.

When Empress Lu heard this, she couldn't help but nodded.

Liu Jing's mother died early, and she was the queen, the titular master of the harem.

So even if Liu Jing is fighting with Liu Yu, she is also Liu Jing's nominal mother.

"The concubine will definitely handle this matter properly."

said so, but Queen Lu had a difficulty in her heart.

King Jing's identity is there, if the marriage family is not very good, it is naturally inappropriate.

spread out, but what was bad was her reputation as Empress Lu.

But if you really want to marry the daughter of an important minister, then... Is he not lifting a stone and shooting it at his own son's foot?

"Then there will be Concubine Lao."

"It's not too early, so I'll go to the warm pavilion to review the recital first, and I'll rest early."

……

Three days later, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to choose a concubine came out of the palace.

The queen will personally select the show girls, many court ministers, and if there are women of appropriate age in the family, they can participate.

At the same time, Emperor Jing Xing also gave King Jing a marriage.

The other party is the daughter of Qingguo Gong, Liu Yan!

If the King of Zhongshan is the patron saint of Daqian in the north, then Qingguo Gong is the patron saint of Daqian in the west.

The position of the Duke of Qingguo is even more hereditary, and it has been inherited since the founding of the country.

Although Qingguo Gong has two sons under his knees, he only has one daughter, Liu Yan, and she is very fond of her on weekdays.

Therefore, with Liu Yan's status, he and King Jing are a good match.

After learning of this, King Jingfu shirked several times.

Emperor Jing Xing wanted to forget it, but he was afraid that Liu Yu would use this as an excuse again, so he simply issued an order and put the matter on the ground.

In other words, if King Jing doesn't marry Liu Yan, it will be a disobedience to the will!

……

King Jing's Mansion.

In the dead of night, in a secret room.

Bang!

A loud bang came, and King Jing smashed the vase in his hand, a little upset.

For some reason, since the failure of the siege of Li Changkong, he has felt that everything is not going well.

A few days ago, if I hadn't reacted quickly to the counterfeit banknotes, I would have almost uprooted them.

When the time comes, don't say that he is King Jing. Even if he is the crown prince, he will be demoted to a commoner at the least, and beheaded after the autumn.

Otherwise, Emperor Jing Xing would not be able to give an explanation to the court, let alone the people of the world.

I thought that after the time of counterfeiting passed, Li Changkong and Liu Yu would be able to stop for a while, but who would have thought that it would have intensified!

It's time to get married directly! He also directly asked His Majesty to give marriage!

There's nowhere to hide right now.

"Is this a coincidence? Or did they know what the king was up to? King Jing frowned, a little dazed.

"It's not all bad, though."

"Although the power of Qingguo Gong is far away in the northwest, if he can marry him, he can insert his hand into the noble collective."

"In addition, Li Changkong and the others were already suspicious of each other before, and when the time comes, they will divide and break through one by one, wouldn't it be happy?"

"Without these people, what will Liu Yu do to fight me?"

"However, there is still some need to be prepared."
