"I've been choosing and choosing these days, and I still think it's better to choose a girl of the right age in the clan or side branch. ”

"Your Majesty has a candidate in mind?"

The emperor plans to find a suitable candidate in the clan to have an heir and succeed the six princes. The emperor consulted with Empress Xian in the imperial study, and prepared to choose Li Mengyan, a woman with a gentle temperament and a seven-point resemblance to the Lu family's girls.

"Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that this Li girl is from Futian Academy, right?

Although Li Mengyan in the mouth of Empress Xian is a registered clan, he was abandoned by his original parents since he was a child and was lonely. Later, he was discovered by Pei's father-in-law and adopted and raised in Futian Courtyard. As he grows older, Li Mengyan has also reached the time to talk about marriage, and he already has a favorite person in his heart.

"Lang is not married, and the woman is not married. They truly love each other and conceive children together, and then they will inherit one of them and raise them in the name of their children. ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't hear it, it's called the son of a snatcher, and if you say it's good, it's a succession. What if Li Mengyan only gives birth to a son or a daughter?

"Her children should be honoured, not regretted, to be part of the royal family. Yu'er, this kid...... Isn't there a judgment in your heart about reluctance or reluctance?"

“......”

Empress Xian was suddenly dumbfounded, and a trace of struggle was evident in her expression. Yesterday, I said the word "adoptive", and I have been thinking about it since I returned to the dormitory. She knew that this was not appropriate, but at the moment, in addition to this method, she either set up another concubine or reconciled. Another side concubine was afraid that Dong Shangshu would mix it up again and insert eyeliner, and he would leave ...... It will affect the reputation of two people......

Just as the emperor and queen were talking about the succession, Pei Gonggong, who was waiting beside him, thought that the adopted Li Mengyan could come in handy. Seeing that Gonggong Pei was so sure, the emperor and queen looked puzzled. The orphan girl Li Mengyan's background is already pitiful, and now she is being used by them to help the six princes...... You can't make a decision no matter how you think about it. Gonggong Pei knew that the emperor would have a hard time deciding, so he assured the emperor that he would adopt this daughter more than his own daughter. When the emperor heard that Gonggong Pei was like this, she was relieved. Father-in-law Pei took pity on Li Mengyan and empathized with her life experience, because he was also an orphan, fatherless and motherless, and suffered a lot of sins. Therefore, when the emperor and queen talked about Li Mengyan, Gonggong Pei did not hesitate to adopt her himself.

The emperor saw that Pei Gonggong's ears and temples were white, and after careful consideration, he decided that Li Mengyan would stay in Futian Courtyard for the time being, and he still had to consider the matter of adopting him as an adopted daughter. But he also said that he would talk to Li Mengyan in advance to see her wishes, and if he agreed to pass on his son or girl to the six princes, it would be better, and their royal family would not treat her badly. If Li Mengyan does not agree, the emperor will no longer be reluctant, and will choose another family. Gonggong Pei understood the holy will and bowed slightly.

The next day, the emperor prepared to go to Futian Courtyard to find the orphan girl Li Mengyan in the morning court. However, Dong Shangshu in the court proposed that the six princes had been newly married for a long time, and there was still no sign of fetal movement of the six princesses. He also took the trouble to give examples of other officials who had married their wives and were already pregnant. Your Majesty

"Your Majesty, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. The sixth prince and the sixth princess have been married for half a year, and they have not heard any good news about the princess. The wives of Lord Zhou, who married a month earlier than His Royal Highness, were all happy...... The six princes and princesses are still so affectionate, shouldn't they also have children?" Hearing this, the ministers began to discuss, thinking that what he said was not unreasonable.

"Lord Shangshu is right, Your Majesty, if the six princesses have no queen...... The royal reputation will also be affected by this!"

"yes!"

The ministers were induced by Dong Shangshu's words and joined the persuasion team one after another. The emperor looked at the attitude of the courtiers, and his eyes stayed on Dong Shangshu for a while. This Dong Shangshu is really thoughtful for me! He didn't even let go of the branches and leaves for the royal family......

Dong Shangshu also proposed that the six princesses Lu had no children and committed one of the seven crimes, which was really a great disrespect to the royal family. Not only will there be no way to continue the incense for the royal family, but it will also drag down the six princes. The emperor couldn't help frowning when he saw that Dong Shangshu was aggressive, and he actually told the ministers about the seven offenses. Just now, he was inducing the ministers, but now he has become a ...... This hat is really well buttoned! But Dong Shangshu is really annoying, and he has challenged his bottom line as an emperor again and again, has he really forgotten the courtesy of a monarch and a minister? Closing his eyes and pondering, his fists under the emperor's robe clenched and his face gloomy.

After such a fuss in the court, the emperor had no intention of going to Futian Courtyard to find Li Mengyan. Walking on the path of the imperial garden after retreating, the emperor was so angry that he broke off the branches that emerged from the side of the road.

"Hmph, this Dong Laohu, I really want to put him in prison to punish him!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger. ”

Gonggong Pei cautiously followed the emperor's side, and when he heard his cold nasal voice, he guessed in his heart that he was angry in the court again, right?

"Your Majesty, why are you angry? Can you tell us about it?"

The emperor calmed down and told him that he had planned to go to Futian Yuan to discuss with the orphan girl Li Mengyan after the end of the court. However, Dong Shangshu took the opportunity to attack on the grounds that the sixth princess Lu was not pregnant for a long time. Listening to his intentions, the incense of the six princesses is difficult to continue, and if they can't give birth to an heir, either the six princes will set up another side concubine, or they will reconcile with the six princes in the name of committing seven crimes.

"Your Majesty, let us say something unpleasant, Dong Shangshu is a powerful minister, and his hand is stretched too long...... It's not good!"

Gonggong Pei felt that Dong Shangshu was too lenient, and he couldn't finish handling the court affairs, so he stared at the family affairs of the six princes all day long...... Hearing this, Pei Gonggong's mind moved again.

After all, the matter of succession was an expectation put forward by the emperor, and the six princes had not yet known about it. After thinking about it again, Gonggong Pei told the emperor his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, it's best to inform His Highness the Sixth about the succession. Is it feasible for her to come up with her own ideas?"

"Well, Grandpa Pei is right. ”

After hearing this, the emperor felt that the choice was still in the hands of his own children——— whether to pass on the succession, set up another concubine, or ...... The emperor looked at the back of Gonggong Pei leaving, and his heart was stunned. It's hard to figure out which one Mi'er will choose? He hopes that Mi'er will choose to succeed, after all, if he chooses another side concubine and Heli, he is afraid that it will be a self-loss for them. Ran Pei Gonggong came to the Li Mansion at the order of the emperor and looked up at the plaque hanging in front of the door.
