Chapter four hundred and seventieth again to choose a concubine

After the funeral of the two elders, Yan Huo was seriously ill. After he recovered, he closed the door to thank the guests and kept mourning for the two elders at home. She turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window, but there were quite a lot of troubles outside the window. After Queen Chen's birthday, the emperor appointed the fourth son Tang Xu as King Rui, and the father of the crown prince was named Yi Enbo.

When Tang Qi was named king, he had to leave Gong Jian Mansion. The prince found it troublesome and chose a ready-made mansion. This mansion was not far from the Duke of Anguo, and there was an alley less than six feet away. The reason why King Rui chose this mansion was: "I have to be closer to my benefactor's cousin, and I have to repay my life-saving grace. Unfortunately, I am a man and cannot promise myself, so I can only use my benefactor's cousin as a horse."

When Yan Huo heard this, his mouth twitched slightly, looking at the sky silently, and saving his life. How many people know about the words of "promise with their bodies"?

King Rui built a mansion, and there must be a mistress in the mansion, so the choice of concubine was put on the agenda. Empress Chen summoned the Crown Princess and Princess Su Xuan into the palace, "For the wedding of Hu'er, you two are sisters-in-law, please have more snacks."

The Crown Princess and Princess Su could not refuse this and agreed with a smile.

After leaving the Jiaofang Hall, the Crown Princess invited Princess Su to the East Palace for a meeting and discussed. Last time, she helped Prince Gong choose a concubine, but in the end she failed. The Crown Prince didn't know the inside story and thought she was not good at choosing it. Now Prince Gong has gone overseas, and the marriage is nowhere to be reached. She must handle the marriage of King Rui.

"Since I'm helping my fourth brother get married, I have to ask what kind of girl I like? I can't be a pair of complaining people." Princess Su directly decided on the rules.

"This is certain." The Crown Princess agreed, "Let the Crown Prince go and ask."

"The prince is busy with all his time, so if you have free time, let Prince Su go and ask." Princess Su smiled.

"Then you will hold a flower viewing party and invite all the ladies of the right age. Unfortunately, Xiaoxiao is filial and cannot go out, otherwise she can help you out." The princess said with her chin.

Princess Su nodded: "Xiaoxiao has many ideas."

"Ah, chubby, chubby, chubby." Yan Huo was accompanying Jun'er, watching him tear the clockwork doll, and sneeze three times in a row. "When I think about it, scold me, but who is so unpretentious, and what's going on to say behind my back?"

"Mom, I sneeze because of the external cold." Jun'er corrected his mother's mistakes seriously.

"Where did I get the outside cold when I was on this hot day?" Yan Huo asked back.

Jun'er was stunned, "That's what the book says."

"Son, it's better to have no books than to believe in books." Yan Huo rubbed his head.

"What is the reason why my mother sneezes?" Jun'er disagreed with this statement after thinking, cursing, and talking about it.

Yan Hu found that he had a problem for himself. He explained this problem from a medical perspective. She didn't know. Even if she could, can Jun'er understand it? Yan Hu's eyes turned, "Go and ask your father."

When Jun'er heard this, she knew that his mother couldn't answer. She didn't ask any more questions and continued to fiddle with the clockwork doll in her hand.

In the evening, Jun'er came to Fu Zhixing and asked, why do people sneeze?

Just as the father and son were discussing this issue, King Su also found King Rui, "My mother is going to choose a concubine for you. What kind of person do you like? Tell me quickly."

"I never thought about it." King Rui still had a little childish temperament, "What are you going to choose a concubine? I don't want someone to take care of me."

"Men are married when they are old, women are married when they are old. Don't talk too much, think about it quickly." King Su frowned.

"Why don't you marry the third brother?" King Rui said unhappily.

King Su choked, "Your third brother is overseas. If you can catch him, let him marry him." As he said that, King Su kicked King Rui lightly, "Now you are talking about choosing a concubine, don't mess around, think about it quickly, if you don't have any ideas, then follow your mother's finger."

"I think, I think." Ruiwang scratched his head, "I want to have a round face and big eyes, and I have two dimples with one smile."

"Okay, I'll tell you my sister-in-law and your second sister-in-law, and I'll find you such a person." King Su returned to the palace to tell Princess Su about this.

The next day, Princess Su went to the East Palace to find the Crown Princess. As soon as the sisters-in-law decided, the Crown Princess said, "Why do I think King Rui is talking about a specific person?"

Princess Su slapped her face, "You feel this way, so do I."

"Who will it be?" The Crown Princess has been choosing a son-in-law for the eldest daughter, and most of the people who are paying attention to other people's age are young men. I can't think of it at this time.

The Crown Princess couldn't remember it, and Princess Su, the careless person, could not remember it even more. So the two decided to go to Duke Anguo's mansion and ask Yan Hu to help.

When Yan Hu heard this, he asked with a smile: "Who are there people that King Rui can contact?"

"That is, a few companions from Changle, and a few of the people from Xiaoengong's Mansion..." The Crown Princess's eyes lit up, "Isn't Shen Lin just a round face and big eyes, and a smile on two dimples."

Shen Lin's father is Empress Shen's cousin. He is now working in the Ministry of Works, working diligently and honestly. The Shen family's upbringing is fine, but Zhu Shen's one was deliberately taught to others, which is not counted.

"It's just decided to choose more flowers to enjoy and enjoy the flowers?" Princess Su was not sure whether Queen Shen would like to let her cousin be her daughter-in-law.

The Crown Princess thought for a while, "Xiaoxiao, what do you have to say?"

"No objection." Yan Huo said as he chewed the apricot dried rice.

"I remember the troubles that happened last time when I chose Prince Gong's concubine, and I was afraid that this time I would be the same." The Crown Princess frowned.

"I haven't come to you yet, just pretend you don't know." Yan Huo said calmly.

Princess Su reached out to snatch the apricot jelly from Yan Hu's hand, "Let's think of a solution, otherwise I won't give it to you."

"I think it's too much to hold a flower appreciation meeting. It's simple. There is still half a month left, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be celebrated. Men are racing dragon boats, and women are..." Yan Hu thought about the Dragon Boat Festival activities, "When fighting with hundreds of herbs, who can get the leader, the Crown Princess will give her a jade Ruyi."

"This is not much different from the flower viewing meeting." Princess Su questioned.

"Of course there is a difference. The flower viewing session was deliberately held. Everyone immediately understood that it was choosing a concubine for King Rui. Fighting Baicao is a custom that exists on the Dragon Boat Festival. Those people must have never thought that the Crown Princess would use Fighting Baicao to see her sister-in-law." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Just fight with hundreds of herbs." The Crown Princess accepted the proposal.

Princess Su laughed, "I knew Xiaoxiao had many ideas."

Yan Huo glanced at her with a angrily look, "If you can't praise others, don't praise them."

Princess Su laughed and stuffed the dried apricots into her mouth.

After chatting for a while, the Crown Princess and Princess Su left the Anguo Duke's Mansion and returned to their homes. Then, the Crown Princess fought against the Hundred Herbs, which is an old folk custom, and it is quite interesting. On the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a play of fighting against the Hundred Herbs, and said who could get the leader and enjoy the jade Ruyi.

Although the Crown Princess borrowed the old custom of fighting for hundreds of herbs on the Dragon Boat Festival, smart people still realized that the Crown Princess was probably using this to choose a concubine for Prince Rui. For a time, the jewelry shops and garment shops in the city were booming.

There is still half a month left on the Dragon Boat Festival, and the princess has not been selected yet. The two palace maids who tried to marry have entered the Rui Palace.
