By the time the second prince and the fourth prince were "late", the painting scrolls had changed from twelve to nine, and everyone knew it, so no one would say a word.

The people in the scroll are not necessarily what they like or are willing to choose, but since they are here, it means that they can only choose one of them, so the two brothers are flat-faced, and after pretending to look at the scroll circle, they decide on the candidate.

The second prince chose the young lady of the Ling family, and the fourth prince chose the young lady of the Zeng family, and the maiden brothers of these two were the eldest prince and the third prince's companion respectively, so a family affair made the relationship between the four of them closer.

Empress Yan looked at the candidate they had chosen with satisfaction, and then said.

"When you become married, the two of you should also enter the court to do something, Concubine Hui's maiden family is not strong, and there is no father and brother who can help you, so the palace will tell the people of the Earl's Court to be more attentive to you."

At this point, both of them can only be thanksgiving.

The eldest prince stood aside, still looking at the brothers very calmly, but the third prince said something more prominently.

"Didn't the fourth brother say that he likes the water master? When you get married, I will ask my mother to send you to Quanzhou, isn't the third uncle practicing water master there? You may be glad you are gone. ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Empress Yan and the third prince, and seemed to be determining the possibility of this matter.

Empress Yan thought about the current situation in the court, so she was determined to win over the second prince and the fourth prince, so she nodded and followed the words of the third prince.

"It's not impossible, but you still have to take care of it before you get married."

's words gave the four princes enough hope, so he was a little more grateful to Empress Yan at the moment.

The matter of the brothers' choice of concubines was all decided on this morning, and when they left Changchun Palace, the second prince and the fourth prince said.

"It's rare to go to the palace, we still have to go to see the mother concubine, are the eldest brother and third brother out of the palace?"

"Well, a few days ago, my father also set a homework, I didn't finish it, and my eldest brother said that he wanted to supervise me, and he couldn't be lazy."

The words of the third prince made the eyes of the second prince and the fourth prince show envy, but they also knew that people could not be compared, and it was the most important thing for them to save their lives now, so they would not show too much of their true attitude.

So they nodded, and they went their separate ways.

On the way to Haining Palace, the fourth prince was still immersed in the promise of Empress Yan just now, but the second prince's face sank a lot, thinking carefully about the current situation.

The father has many children, among whom there are several princes.

The eldest brother and the third brother were born to Empress Yan, and the identity of only one concubine is not something they can compare at will, plus they have the Earl's Mansion to protect them, and they are about to marry other families, so the follow-up power is great.

Looking at the seventh and eighth brothers who are young now, they have both a favored mother and a strong foreign family to protect them, so they are naturally stable and worry-free.

Pity him and his fourth brother, his father doesn't care about his mother's powerlessness.

If he doesn't find a suitable help, I'm afraid that life after marriage will be more difficult, so compared to the innocence of the fourth prince, he is now showing the worries that an adult prince should have.

"Second brother, what do you want?"

"Think about our future way out."

"What's there to think about this, Zuo is just following the eldest brother to do his own thing, you and I can't compete for that son, instead of wasting time to do those things, it is better to put yourself in the right position now, do what you need to do, the eldest brother sees it in its eyes, the queen mother sees it in her eyes, and it will give us what we deserve."

He thought simply, but it didn't make sense.

It's just that the second prince still feels that he has put all the weight of his life on others, and he is always worried, but it is useless to argue with the fourth brother, so he won't say more.

After seeing the concubine, the two brothers talked about today's concubine selection.

Concubine Hui sighed, how could she not know that her children made such a choice in order to survive, but she was powerless to help, so she was distressed, and she could only comfort her with a good temper.

"Since the concubine is decided, then you can live a good life in the future, and the concubine has nothing of value in her hands to give away, but these two hairpins were sent by His Majesty at the time of canonization, which means that it is good, so I will give it to the two of you, and add it as a dowry gift to the young ladies of the Zeng Ling family."

After that, he asked the palace maid next to him to take out the box.

The box was made by the Inner Court Division, because it was specially made when the concubine was sealed, so even the box was inlaid with gemstones, so it was extremely luxurious.

Looking at the box, the second prince felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

The mother concubine has worked hard for them all her life, and as a result, even the best jewelry has to be used as a gift for them, and she feels aggrieved when she thinks about it.

But such grievances, several of them can be said to have been raised since childhood, although they are all sons of their fathers and emperors, and they are the noble princes of the Daxing Dynasty, but compared with each other, the eldest brother and the third brother are noble, and the seventh and eighth brothers are also noble.

The only prince who is not noble is probably him and his fourth brother.

So thinking of this, he also secretly decided in his heart that this life can't just live like this, either fighting against the odds or being mediocre.

He chose the former.

After thinking about these things, the whole person stretched a lot, but this road is destined not to be easy to walk, and a little carelessness may lead to a catastrophe, but for the second prince, these are predictable, so he is not afraid.

After taking the box, he solemnly kowtowed to his mother, and then said.

"The mother's heart, the son has written it down, and when he gets married, he must do things well, so that the mother can also enjoy the joy of her children and grandchildren."

Concubine Hui is not a person with great ambitions and ambitions, so being able to achieve the position of the fourth concubine in this life is already thinking that the ancestors are burning high incense, so when she heard the words of the second prince, she was also so emotional that she almost cried, and then said.

"Okay, the mother concubine is waiting for your child to be born, and when I pick a few good mothers to get along with, I will send them to the house to help your respective daughters-in-law and children."

"Thank you, Princess."

The two brothers stayed in Haining Palace for lunch, and then went out of the palace gate.

The fourth prince looked like a little fairy who had nothing to do, but he set off the second prince next to him with some bitterness and hatred, and this scene happened to be seen by Guo Shilang, who entered the palace to report on his work.

Thinking of what his grandfather said to him before leaving, Guo Shilang also had some side thoughts in his heart.
