"Another call me guess?" Ji Zishan screamed strangely, immediately waved her invincible itchy scratching hand, threatening to the little prince Yuanbao, "Say, it's your own honest explanation, or I'll scratch you, and you'll just explain it honestly!"
The little prince Yuanbao rolled his eyes at the roof of the car: "I have to give it honestly, why should I be scratched by you for nothing?"
Ji Zishan took back her itchy scratching hands and snorted: "Then why don't you come here to me as it is."
The little prince Yuanbao gently stroked the cuffs of the cotton jacket rolling with fox hair, and said slowly in his mouth: "It was the Queen Mother who told me..." Since he and Empress Dowager Hui'an mentioned that his impression of Miss Yao was quite good, his Queen Mother's mother has investigated Miss Yao and the Yao family in all aspects. The two Master Yao in the first two, although one is mediocre and the other is useless, are all honest and honest people. "... The Queen Mother has found out clearly and thinks that Miss Yao is okay. She just waits for her to see her personally and then book it for her brother."
"Miss Yao will be in the early spring of next year. If nothing unexpected happens, I will not be a bachelor when I make an appointment with you in the second half of next year." The little prince Yuanbao looked at his little sister with teasing eyes, and said sarcastic words very happily, "You, let's continue to be 'no one day' with your son-in-law, it's like three autumns after not seeing each other'." Humph, you once despised him as a bachelor, why is it so much faster than you?
Ji Zishan heard this and said, "...you hate it!"
The little prince Yuanbao smiled and held up his cheeks, and said quietly: "Yes, why do I hate it so much?"
At this time, Empress Dowager Hui'an was discussing the lifelong affairs of Prince Yuanbao with His Majesty Ji Ziqing: "The world is not good now, and your fourth princes have just died again. After a while, the plum blossoms in the palace should bloom. My mother will hold a flower viewing banquet and personally meet the girl Yao." After investigating and observing for a whole year, it is almost time to get to the topic.
His Majesty Ji Ziqing held a cup of hot tea and said in a deep thought: "My mother, please invite some girls who are about the same age as you fan."
Empress Dowager Hui'an's eyes turned slightly: "What is the emperor's intention?" The flower-watching banquet was to choose a concubine for her younger son. It was the main purpose of looking at Miss Yao. Although the rest were a foil, they must be around fifteen years old. The young girl was only thirteen years old. Why invite girls of her age? "Does the emperor want to make a few more friends?" Empress Dowager Hui'an asked in a joking tone.
His Majesty Ji Ziqing shook his head: "No..."
"Then what you mean is..." Empress Dowager Hui'an asked with a raised eyebrows.
His Majesty Ji Ziqing put down the teacup in his hand and his voice was very calm: "Pick Yuanyuan's crown princess."
The eldest grandson will be ten years old next year, and it is the age to be able to be crowned prince. Empress Dowager Hui'an calmed down and whispered: "Qing'er, the queen has passed away for a year. The mother here asks you, will you still be a queen in the future?" As a mother, her son lost his wife in his prime, and she still hopes to see him marry another one, with a caring person around her. However, her son's identity is very special. She doesn't interfere much if he is willing to marry a wife again.
His Majesty Ji Ziqing replied, "I won't stand."
That year, he was twelve years old, and his mother, who was pregnant with Yuanbao's younger brother, survived from death. Ask yourself, if his mother had not survived at that time, if his father married his stepfather again, he would be very unhappy. He didn't want his mother's position to be occupied by other women, nor did he want to have a stepmother who was ignorant of good or bad. The way he had already walked can be assumed, but the life of the eldest son was not assuming that his mother was really gone.
"It's good now." His Majesty Ji Ziqing's eyes fell on the purple gold and copper stove with silver wire and fine charcoal, and his tone was calm. "As long as the harem is peaceful, it will not make a fuss, what's the difference between whether to establish a queen or not." The rank of concubines in the harem was very low by him. Those who gave birth to princes and princesses were only a concubine. Anyone who dared to break the palace rules would be severely punished and suppressed. The pressure was released. All the concubines were strictly abiding by the rules.
Empress Dowager Hui'an sighed lightly, without saying anything, just said, "I understand."
When the plum blossoms in the palace were blooming in the cold, many noble and official families received plum blossom appreciation letters from the palace. The poster was Princess Zhaoyang, and the poster was a group of young girls. This move was like a signal, which quickly triggered a large-scale speculation in the capital.
Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
The Grandpa Zhenguo, who heard the news, was very excited: "This is not the princess invites people to appreciate the plum blossoms. It is clearly the Queen Mother who uses this name to choose the queen for Your Majesty to follow up." The Dong family currently has only one concubine daughter. Therefore, the Dong family has not received the plum blossom appreciation letter from the palace. The Grandpa Zhenguo felt that he was not doing well and cried with tears in his tears, "Your sister has just been away for a year, and Your Majesty is going to pick new people, at least..." At least, confirm the position of the grandson as the prince.
Duke Zhenguo is not in the mansion at present, and only Dong Zhiyuan is accompanying him in the house. He frowned and retorted: "It is not necessarily for the sake of His Majesty's successor, but also for the fifth prince..." The fifth prince was about to turn seventeen years old, and he was at the age of discussing marriage.
"No matter which one is for, it is a foregone conclusion that Your Majesty will establish a queen again." The Grandpa of Duke Zhenguo wiped his tears with a veil, stared at his son with a delicate and beautiful face, and asked with a look of hope, "What's wrong with the Fifth Prince?"
Dong Zhiyuan said with a embarrassed look: "...No, I am in the princess and the predecessor princess, and the prince doesn't accept my words at all." In fact, every time Dong Zhiyuan was forced to find the fifth princess by his mother, he never mentioned that he loved the fourth princess in his heart. Every time his mother asked about the progress, he would use lies to perfunctory. He wanted to marry a senior high school girl, but not a fourth princess at all.
Upon hearing this, the Grandpa of Duke Zhenguo sighed softly. It seemed that Lord Shang’s plan was about to fail. However, she was not a person who had to hang himself on a tree. The noblest princess couldn’t get it, so she settled for the second best consideration. Princess Fanghua was in her early age and was the only daughter of Prince Lian and his wife. It was also a very good choice. So she said: "Forget it, you don’t have to work hard on the princess. In a few days, my mother will take you to Prince Lian’s mansion to visit."
Dong Zhiyuan's heart was inexplicably missed, and a bad premonition instantly came to his mind: "Mom means--"
"Princess Fanghua is about to be in trouble. Her marriage has not been settled yet. Mom takes you to show your face. First, try Princess Lian's attitude. If she is interested, Mom will ask the official matchmaker to propose marriage for you." The son's reply to her was lost once and once. She was lost more times. She also knew that the princess might not be able to marry, so it would be better to go and fight for another noble daughter earlier. The second satisfactory daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo was Princess Fanghua Ji Ziluo.
Dong Zhiyuan couldn't help but plead, "Mom knew her son's intentions, why couldn't she fulfill her son?" He was not interested in anything, he wanted to marry a senior girl, but why was it so difficult?
When she heard that her son was still thinking about Princess Yixuan's daughter, Duke Zhen suddenly shouted sternly: "Stop your mouth!" Seeing that the son who loved the most was sad, Duke Zhen felt soft again and advised with great sincerity, "Zhiyuan, my mother's plans are all for your own good, why don't you understand..."
At the same time, the Dingguo Duke's Mansion and the Ning family's second wife.
After the youngest daughter received the plum blossom appreciation letter from the palace, Mrs. Ning Er was suddenly overjoyed. She was very clear. There must be something behind the plum blossom appreciation, but this trick must be beneficial or harm to her daughter. Therefore, she looked at her young daughter who was falling like a flower and said earnestly: "Feifei, when you arrive in the palace, you must be more dignified and generous. This time, the flower appreciation banquet is either to choose the queen for Your Majesty or to choose the princess for the fifth prince. You have to perform better."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yufei, who was as beautiful as a flower, blushed on her cheeks and said, "Mother, do I really have a chance?"
"Look at what your child said, you are the legitimate lady of the Ning family, and also called the Queen Mother, "Auntie, if she doesn't want to praise you, why should she send you any flower appreciation posts?" The smile on Mrs. Ning's second wife could not cover up. According to her estimates, this time, the flower appreciation banquet was not only chosen by His Majesty, but also the princess for the fifth prince. There was no chance in the morning, so the great possibility was His Majesty.
Ning Yufei had met the fifth prince and knew that he had no thoughts about him, but she had never seen His Majesty the Emperor. In terms of relatives, she also wanted to call her cousin. Does she really have the chance to marry the Emperor's cousin? Ning Yufei's heartbeats very fast at this time, and the thumping dramas continued: "Well, what should I wear on the day of the flower viewing banquet..."
Mrs. Ning Er took up her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Come on, I will match you with me and ensure that you are full of beauty."
Unlike the reactions of the Dong family and the Ning family, Yao Dejin, who received the post to admire the plum blossoms, felt inexplicable.
Moreover, she once wondered if the post was sent wrong.
However, the name on the post told her very truthfully that this flower appreciation post was for her.
Mrs. Yao San was born with a beautiful face, and she had a unique gentle smell in her every move. She saw her white fingers pinching the post and muttering softly: "How could the flower viewing posts in the palace be sent to our house..." She was not a fool, and she could basically guess that the flower viewing banquet was just an excuse. Looking at some candidates was the ultimate goal. Some of the people who received the flower viewing posts were the protagonists and some were the foils. Mrs. Yao San was strange that how could this foiling job fall on her daughter's head.
The mother and daughter looked at each other for a while and finally decided to let it go.
