Chapter 22, The Emperor's Concubine
Yes, there is nothing big in the original book, but there are still problems with the plot that has been adapted by her.
The little emperor is going to take a concubine, and the time to pick it is the fifteenth day of the first month.
Also known as the Lantern Festival, this day is a day when young men and women can come out of their homes and go out on the streets.
And for the little emperor who is about to take a concubine, this is the opportunity for the ministers.
"Everyone, you really care about Your Majesty's marriage." Lu Xianchen smiled reluctantly.
Empress Dowager Mingxi nodded: "Yes, almost all the people of the family with names and surnames have handed over the fold to send their daughter to the palace, I can't arrange it for a while, so I asked the Holy Doctor to help." ”
Lu Xianchen feels that what he has to do recently is becoming less and less "medical girl", the former dynasty and the harem have to take care of themselves, and the little emperor and concubine have to handle themselves, but no matter how many people come here, they can't be so omnipotent.
"The courtiers don't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty," Lu Xianchen said with excuses, "That is, whose girl can enter or not, she still needs the Queen Mother to give her a clear word." ”
"Actually, it's not important, there are few girls in this who are family descendants, and it doesn't make much sense to really investigate it," the Queen Mother seemed to see Lu Xianchen's attitude, "It's all about whether you can enter or not, it mainly depends on your personal character, Your Majesty is still young, don't let go of a fox spirit around you, it will bring him bad." ”
Empress Dowager Mingxi looked at Lu Xianchen's face and pointed to one of them to her: "Xianchen can watch the choice by himself, except for this one, Fu Miao." ”
Fu Miao, when you hear this name, you know that it is a person from the Fu family back then, but Fu Maoan was imprisoned when Fu Chengze was born, but this Fu Miao is younger than Fu Chengze, and he should have been born later.
"This girl is...... Does it have anything to do with Imperial Doctor Fu? Lu Xianchen asked.
"It should be regarded as Fu Chengze's sister," Empress Dowager Mingxi said, "Although I haven't seen it, but in the end, it has the same root and the same origin, with her by the emperor's side, Fu Chengze can be more loyal." ”
Lu Xianchen listened to it quite unpleasantly.
In reality, when she reads novels, she doesn't like themes such as love after marriage or forced illness, and always feels that it is Stockholm syndrome, similar to the escape psychology of "I am trapped, falling in love with him can make me feel better, so I fell in love with this person".
But it's easy to say in the novel, this thing is happening around her, and she really doesn't want to see it.
The love she tends to be a two-way choice, even if this choice is made by two people because of various calculations, it must be based on a mutual willingness, rather than "having to marry" and "having to love".
But in ancient times, marriages were almost all about profit, and no one cared whether the bride and groom wanted it or not.
"To be recommended by the Queen Mother, this Miss Fu must be of good character." Lu Xianchen's heart was a little sour.
"Yes, I watch that kid a lot, he's a good-natured one." Empress Dowager Mingxi said.
Lu Xianchen said slowly: "The Queen Mother can take care of the Fu family, and she must know Fu Chengze's thoughts." ”
Empress Dowager Mingxi raised her eyes to look at Lu Xianchen.
Lu Xianchen was in a bad mood, and his mouth was a little rushed: "The Queen Mother knows about Imperial Doctor Fu, knows his thoughts about avenging his ancestors, and also knows that he is attacking the little emperor, you take care of the Fu family, and want to explain to Fu Chengze, it's actually very easy." ”
Empress Dowager Mingxi shook her wrist.
Lu Xianchen knew that the Queen Mother was the most reasonable, and she was confident that the Queen Mother would not punish her, so she said directly: "You obviously have a chance to stop it, why do you want to acquiesce to Fu Chengze to be bad for Your Majesty's health?" ”
There was silence around, and Aunt Zishuang wanted to speak, but was stopped by a look from the Empress Dowager Mingxi.
"Please excuse the Queen Mother, but I have indeed been puzzled about this question for a long time." Lu Xianchen said.
The Empress Dowager Mingxi was not angry, she seemed to feel a little funny, and smiled: "Yes, you look calm and calm, but you are actually a child who can't rub sand in your eyes." ”
"Your Majesty is now in poor health, it is difficult for the courtiers not to think about it, since today's words have come to this point, the courtiers want to ask the Queen Mother for an accurate word, otherwise a day of anxiety is a day of unease, please fulfill the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins." Lu Xianchen's tone was hard.
Empress Dowager Mingxi nodded: "Yes, I should question, ask myself, why I used to be so jealous of my son and grandson, afraid of their growth, afraid that they would cross me and gain power." ”
"I can't understand it." Lu Xianchen's tone was a little panicked.
"Monarchs and ministers precede fathers and sons, you should know this." Empress Dowager Mingxi said.
Lu Xianchen was stunned, yes, if the Empress Dowager Mingxi is a man, these are really not difficult to understand.
Are there few cases of fathers and sons suspicious and turning against each other in history? Is it incomprehensible that a man can attack his own son and analogy it to a woman?
"If Ah Mo wasn't my only grandson, I might be even more jealous of him." Empress Dowager Mingxi said.
When the system asked her to choose whether to save the Empress Dowager Mingxi, she clearly told her that the Empress Dowager Mingxi was a woman, and the first half of her life was to interpret the words "ambitious" with her actions, and she was likely to compete with the little emperor for power after she was really sick, in fact, she did the same, Lu Xianchen paved the way for the little emperor to agree to the queen mother's curtain and listen to the government, and barely maintained the current stable situation.
Su Panhan chose to cultivate Su Fengyao between her grandson and granddaughter, also because she could subconsciously see that Su Fengyao lacked the desire for power in her bones, and her success was less of a threat to Su Panhan's power.
Su Panhan still longs for power, she watched the little emperor grow up in the years when she was seriously ill, and she was afraid of the fact that she was about to lose power, just like the dying emperor looked at the prince's jealousy, and she also moved to kill her grandson.
But it is impossible to kill.
But the tacit control of Fu Chengze over him is also true.
It's just that now it seems that this is really a big wrong decision, Su Fengyao retreated, she has reached the point where she only has Su Fengmo as an heir, and Su Fengmo's health is her greatest hope.
The Empress Dowager Mingxi thought about it, her expression was indescribably complicated: "I only hate me for not being a man in my life." ”
"The Queen Mother will not harm Your Majesty again, I am relieved." Lu Xianchen bowed and said respectfully.
Su Panhan nodded: "You are really for Your Majesty." ”
Yes, although the Empress Dowager Mingxi is still an ambitious person, she has to face the dilemma of having only Su Fengmo as an heir, so she will not offend the little emperor in vain.
"But, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is so eager to take a concubine for Her Majesty......" Lu Xianchen simply said all his suspicions.
Su Panhan probably didn't expect Lu Xianchen to be so honest that he could ask about it.
Anyway, there is no second person around her who is so bold and reckless, Lu Yinu is pure in nature and does things properly, Su Panhan really likes her, so she is also a lot more tolerant.
Su Panhan did not deny it, and replied ambiguously: "If there is really a great-grandson in the future, it will be ten years before you can see his character-who knows if he will live to that time." ”
"This, I told Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, now the Su family's country can be said to be stormy, and external strife is already troublesome, so we must not cause any internal strife at this time." Lu Xianchen said sincerely.
Su Panhan looked at Lu Xianchen and could hear that she was disobedient, but if she liked a child, she unconsciously put a filter on her, and she couldn't get angry no matter how this girl spoke, so she couldn't help but smile: "Okay, what Doctor Lu said is indeed reasonable." ”
Lu Xianchen continued to look at the booklet in his hand in the kindness of the Empress Dowager Mingxi, the daughter of this family, the young lady of that family, and the Yingying Yanyan group, all surrounded the little emperor, and felt an inexplicable irritability in his chest still did not go down.
One by one, they are all troubles, and none of them should be the purest.
The time soon ran to the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Xianchen really couldn't rule out some people, so he didn't cross out any of them, and the girls in their thirties were all lined up for the little emperor to choose.
In that scene, Lu Xianchen was annoyed when he thought about it, facing a group of girls to pick and choose, it was really a scumbag behavior.
My cute little cub, my cute little emperor, my cute little milk tiger, this is about to grow up to become a scumbag, I really can't accept this status quo for a while.
I can't even tell if this little emperor is stupid and cute.
Woo, life is always full of countless regrets.
system, I'm going to stop my cute little cub from turning into a scumbag, well, I'm going to make him a good emperor who is infatuated and single-minded.
The blue yarn ball slanted at her: "So, what are you going to do?" ”
"What's your attitude? This is a very serious matter. Lu Xianchen said, "The little emperor will also be a character in this novel, if he is an upright, kind and dedicated good child, it will be easier to satisfy the reader, if such a smart and wise child is written as a scumbag, the reader will definitely have opinions." ”
The system has been told by this "good" writer that he has no idea: "Okay, just tell me what to do." ”
"This little emperor's blind date, not a blind date, or the way to choose a concubine is in the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, guess the lantern riddles, you help me arrange the lanterns and lantern riddles, let the little emperor and Fu Miao talk, just come to this pair, you must arrange an infatuated and dedicated character for him." Lu Xianchen commanded.
“…… I don't think readers will pay much attention to that. ”
"Why don't you care," as soon as Lu Xianchen spoke, the system knew that familiar words were coming again, "As a perfectionist writer, I think the main characters in the novel must be likable, and the deputy CP is also a very important part, isn't it?" ”
"But your main CP hasn't landed yet." The system weakly reminded.
"Okay, in this way, the macro evaluation of the five male protagonists, you collect a booklet for me to see, which one is more satisfied with the readers, I'll find a way to push it." Lu Xianchen pondered.
"That's a matter of later, let's do it first, the eldest princess hasn't been sent back from Yuanlu yet."
"Woo, my little emperor is going to take a concubine, ahhhh
System: "...... Host, be sensible......"
