Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Emperor's Heart Belongs to One Man
Although the emperor chose three other concubines for Li Sishen, the ministers in the court did not say much. But since ancient times, the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. The emperor originally wanted to balance the power of the Dong faction by choosing a concubine for his son, but the decision was preemptively held by Li Sishen.
"Father, there is something I want to tell you when my son comes here on this trip......
She entered the palace to meet the emperor, saying that she had a heart and wanted to marry a girl from the Lu family. Seeing Li Sishen's serious face, the emperor said to her with a serious face, puzzled.
"Mi'er, why are you obsessed with the girls of the Lu family, are the girls of other families unworthy?" Li Sishen shook his head in denial.
"It's not that I don't like it, Erchen only thinks of one person in his heart. Since that day when she accidentally bumped into the girl of the Lu family, the beautiful woman Zhuo Zi has been haunting in the hearts of her sons for a long time. I came here today to hope that my father would be fulfilled, and I wanted to marry Sister Xuan's son. ”
"You...... Have you thought it through?"
Li Sishen did not reply to the emperor, but remained silent. She's waiting...... How would it feel to look at his father. The father and daughter waited for each other to speak first, and the room suddenly fell silent.
As soon as the emperor heard that his daughter seemed to be serious in front of him, in fact, he had already complained about him thousands of times in his heart. She is a girl, but what kind of daughter-in-law does she marry in the guise of a man?! But because she is now showing people in men's clothes, she, who is a father, proposes to choose a concubine...... She can't help it if she doesn't agree, ......right? Mi'er did not refuse the proposal to choose a concubine, but instead cooperated with herself to act...... It's hard for her. Thinking of this, the emperor sighed slightly. If the younger child marries the girl of the Lu family as his wife, can Lu Xuantang be able to follow the same path as her? The emperor told Li Sishen about his worries.
"Ahem, that ...... You can marry the Lu family girl, and the father is very happy for you. Honestly...... The two of them are not together overnight, after all, they are married, but they live as husband and wife, and after a long time, I am afraid that the girl of the Lu family will know the identity of your daughter, so as to do something unfavorable. ”
Before she "married", her father began to worry about herself...... Li Sishen immediately comforted him.
"Father, before marrying the Lu family girl, the son will tell her about his daughter in advance, and see what the Lu family girl thinks? If she really doesn't want to, the son will not force it, after all, everyone has the right to choose. ”
"Then you can take some time to arrange it...... Prepare early. ”
"Yes. When the emperor heard this, he acquiesced.
The next day, the emperor issued an edict to the courtiers saying that Lu Xuantang, the girl of the Lu family, was both talented and beautiful, and that she was knowledgeable and generous...... The girl of the Lu family was specially appointed as the concubine of the six princes to show her warning.
When the ministers heard that the six princes in the edict only married one person, and did not choose a girl from another family as a side concubine, they couldn't help but mutter.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear. ”
"Speak. ”
"It's a happy event for the six princes to be able to spread out for the royal family, but there is only one master mother in the house...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult for one person to take care of everything. ”
"Lord Dong, do you mean to let the six princes set up another side concubine to assist the daughter of the Lu family?"
"Yes. ”
"I can't be the master of the six princes, and I have to ask her if she wants to do this. ”
The emperor kicked the ball to Li Sishen, and she said calmly without fear.
"Only one scoop of water for 3,000 weak water is taken to drink, and the sons and daughters are infatuated and hope that their father will be fulfilled. ”
"I didn't expect the sixth prince to be a seed of infatuation...... If you don't marry, you won't marry!"
"Yes, the girl of the Lu family is really lucky, she was ...... by the six princes" The officials in the court saw that Li Sishen insisted on seeing it in front of everyone, and whispered and sighed that the girl of the Lu family was blessed.
Dong Shangshu, who had been suspended for three months, has been lifted and resumed his original job. When he learned that his niece Lin Caiyun was not selected, he felt a little pity that he missed the princess.
Originally, he also wanted to use Lin Caiyun to place him next to the six princes as eyeliner, the closer the person, the easier it is to grasp more useful information, and for him, the chances of winning in the battle for the prince will be tilted to his side. But he underestimated the six princes, and was unable to speak by a fluctuating operation, so he had to watch the ducks fly away.
When Lu Yunzhi heard the contents of the edict, he was silent, and his taciturn state lasted until he returned home.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, when the girls and wives of various families learned that the six princes had chosen the Lu family girl as their wife, and said that they would no longer choose the side concubine, they sighed that the Lu family girl was so blessed. When Mrs. Lu heard that her daughter had fallen into the eyes of the six princes, she couldn't stop smiling.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, Sister Xuan looked at her mother's eyebrows and couldn't hide her joy, and her heart was sweeter than eating honey. I can't help but sigh secretly, I haven't married the sixth prince yet...... Mother is so happy, if she also follows her husband's surname, why would she have to beat gongs and drums and set off two firecrackers to celebrate?
Of course, some people can't see that the Lu family is so lucky, and it is inevitable that they will be sour.
The women gathered to participate in the peony banquet, chatting and talking about the six princes' choice of concubines. Gong Yuefei, the daughter of the servant, and You Xiangqiao, the daughter of Lord You, frequently compared Zhao Meiyan and Lu Xuantang during the banquet.
"Sisters, I don't know who is so good to have stepped on shit luck...... Lord Zhao is suffering from prison, and Miss Zhao is a blessing in disguise! It's a pity...... Some people have better luck than some...... Miss Lu can be selected as the princess in the end in the blessing of her previous life! With this luck alone, we can't compare to others!"
"But it's not! In the future, Lu Fu will climb to the sixth prince, and he will be related to the royal family and become a relative of the royal family...... It's really a fulfillment of what Miss Lu said when we were on board the boat before!"
The other three girls who lost the election learned that the six princes did not choose them in the end, but chose the Lu family girl, and they had different hearts.
Zhao Meiyan was selected by the emperor and became the candidate for the concubine of the six princes, but in the end, she was not ridiculed. Zhao Meiyan did not show weakness and fought back in public.
"Miss You claims to be a scholar, and her language is as vulgar as the market. Fifty steps and a hundred steps, didn't he become the sixth princess himself? Since he is so capable, he can't be the sixth princess, and other princes are also a good choice!"
You Xiangqiao heard Zhao Meiyan's ridicule and secretly gritted her teeth. Those five princes are unattainable, and they may not be able to enter the eyes of others. Girls choose their husbands and pick all kinds of people, looking ahead and looking backwards, and men choose girls in the same way. When everyone heard Zhao Meiyan's words, the scene became quiet for a while.
