634, a concubine, two concubines (1 more)
To whet everyone's appetite, Emperor Guangxi said solemnly, "Yang Shoufu has devoted himself to the court's clothes and food over the years. There is no need to say much about his character. The granddaughter he taught must be a good girl who is quiet, peaceful, kind and gentle. I intend to give marriage to the second lady of the palace. I wonder what Yang Shoufu's intention is?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The second girl of the Yang family, Yang Xueru, is the granddaughter of Yang Shoufu.
With such a status, Gao is tall, but Shoufu Yang is from Duanpin's mother clan. Duanpin also has a second prince. He has always had no father and son, and no brothers in the royal family.
Even though the second prince is still young, everyone knows that the two brothers will face each other sooner or later.
Then it would be a tacit thing for Shoufu Yang to be concerned about who he is concerned about.
Now Emperor Guangxi actually wants to betroth the granddaughter of Shoufu Yang to the crown prince?
This is very meaningful!
Zhao Xi was also slightly stunned.
Shoufu Yang secretly asked someone to deal with Song Wei. He just learned about it a few days ago, and he mentioned to Emperor Guangxi that he planned to marry the daughter of the Yang family.
Song Wei was not only his cousin-in-law, but also a hero who helped him to maintain his position in the Eastern Palace. Once he married the daughter of the Yang family, Yang Shoufu was angry with Song Wei, he would not dare to act rashly from now on.
But Emperor Guangxi refused at that time.
Zhao Xi thought that his father would re-arrange the candidate for him as a concubine, but he didn't expect that he would eventually listen to his proposal to choose the daughter of the Yang family.
Empress Qi frowned when she heard this.
Shoufu Yang is Duan's uncle, so why did the emperor arrange such a good wife for Xier?
She wanted to refute, but Emperor Guangxi had already spoken. If she interfered in front of all the officials and wives, she would be slapping the emperor in the face.
After thinking about it, Queen Qi swallowed the words back, but she felt very uneasy.
The great palace maid Jingzhe saw Queen Qi's face and whispered: "Empress, the emperor must have been the candidate who has been carefully considered. Don't worry too much."
Queen Qi pursed her lips.
How could she not worry?
Since the crown prince was granted the title, although Shoufu Yang did nothing, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was aiming at the second prince. As long as Emperor Guangxi did not die for one day and the crown prince did not succeed to the throne for one day, the second prince would have the chance to pull the crown prince off.
Although he is just a little kid who just knows how to walk now, he is very tough in the backstage. There is Shoufu Yang outside and Emperor Guangxi inside is favored and protected by him.
Empress Qi even suspected that Emperor Guangxi had appointed such a concubine for the prince. He wanted the Yang family to invade the prince and depose the prince, so that the bitch's son would succeed in the future.
Thinking of this, Queen Qi was so angry that she almost crushed the wine cup.
Everyone bullies Xier's family without power or power, and bullies her mother's family without anyone, right?
On the table of officials, Shoufu Yang's face turned even more blue.
His daughter of the Yang family wanted to marry and accumulate power for the second prince. She did not count on how Emperor Guangxi actually came like this.
Once Ru'er becomes the crown prince's concubine, the Yang family must turn to assist the crown prince. What should the second prince do?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had been plotted against by someone.
Song Wei's seat was not far from him, and he smiled when he saw this, "Are you too excited by Lord Yang? Why don't you thank me?"
Shoufu Yang turned around and glared at Song Wei, and had been struggling for a long time before he got up and walked forward and knelt down, "Old minister..."
He wanted to say that Ru'er had already betrothed, but before he could speak, Emperor Xi laughed loudly, "Shou Guard Yang is really happy. The candidate for the Crown Princess is decided like this. When the crown prince is eighteen years old, I will let the Imperial Heaven Monitor prepare for the wedding for this couple."
Shoufu Yang was so angry that he blew his beard, but he didn't dare to stare at him. He said in a trembling voice: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness."
Emperor Guangxi smiled with satisfaction and asked him to calm down. Then he looked at Empress Qi, "The concubine was chosen by the queen himself. Which two have you chosen? Tell me about it yourself."
In Da Chu, all the princes's concubines and concubines have to be given royal jade certificates, so the concubines also have to go through some screening, and the emperor and the empress nodded.
As for the concubines and wives under the concubine, the prince can decide at his own discretion.
Hearing Emperor Guangxi's voice, Empress Qi calmed down and looked at the wife's wife.
Two concubines.
The first one is from her parents' home, named Qi Xuan.
After the enthronement of Empress Qi, her mother's family was named Marquis with the "chicken and dogs ascend to heaven".
Although he has no real power, his father-in-law's family's origin is not low, let alone Qi Xuan is still the legitimate daughter.
The other concubine is the daughter of the prince's tutor, named Dong Han.
It is not difficult to see from these two candidates that the queen is selfish.
First of all, her mother's family had no choice but to arrange people to consolidate their status in the East Palace.
Secondly, Zhao Xi can achieve today's contribution to the crown prince's tutor. Empress Qi's choice of the crown prince's tutor is both grateful and wining over, hoping that he will become more and more dedicated to assisting the crown prince in the future.
Emperor Guangxi had no idea about this. Empress Qi had a hot temper. It was rare that she could not argue with him about the candidate for the concubine.
After Queen Qi called out the names of Qi Xuan and Dong Han, she looked at Emperor Guangxi, "I wonder if the emperor has any objections to the candidate of the concubine?"
Just a concubine, not a concubine, so Emperor Guangxi naturally would not care so much, and waved his hand, "Since he was choosing a concubine for his son, how could the queen have a bad vision?"
This means affirmation.
Queen Qi felt a little relieved after listening to it.
The three girls who were clicked were all present. After Queen Qi finished speaking, they all came forward to kneel down and thanked her.
Shoufu Yang looked at his precious granddaughter with heartache, and his mood was as if the cabbage he had grown for more than ten years was cussed by a pig.
Zhao Xi, who had bowed to the cabbage at the Prime Minister's house, looked at the dark old face of Yang, with a smile overflowing in his eyes, and soon disappeared again.
Although the original intention of marrying the Yang family daughter was to get Song Wei out of the predicament, Zhao Xi did not have any consideration before making a decision.
As the second prince's biggest backstage, if you don't find a way to break up their family's power, once the second prince grows up, it will be a disaster.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi turned his gaze to Zhao Nuo, who was sitting next to Duanpin.
This child has such a tough backstage at a young age, and is much luckier than himself.
The three girls were kneeling on the ground with blushing faces. Queen Qi was talking, but she didn't say anything too much. She just asked them to cultivate themselves and learn the etiquette of the boudoir to enter the East Palace to serve the prince in the future.
The three of them answered in unison.
Queen Qi waved her hand, "Everything goes down to use the mat. It's cold, and the food and drinks will be cold later."
So the three of them slowly stood up and returned to their seats the same way.
Looking at the three people with glorious faces, the unselected noble girls all cast complicated gazes.
Lin Xiaoyue whispered to Wen Wan: "The emperor has a good attitude. I look pretty good at that second girl from the Yang family."
Wen Wan smiled and thought to herself that the emperor would make the Yang family daughter the crown princess, it was definitely not because the other party looked good.
It’s just that the women in the court didn’t have to interfere with the matter. Wenwan could only swallow her thoughts back to her stomach and echoed Lin Xiaoyue and said: “Miss Yang Er is indeed very beautiful.”
"What a pity." Lin Xiaoyue said: "In front of the prince, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she will be overshadowed."
This is true. Only Yun Liulang, a famous Suzhou-prominent Yun Liulang, can match his elegant appearance.
As for the girl, Wen Wan has not seen anyone standing next to the prince without being overwhelmed by beauty.
When Song Yuanbao heard clearly that there was no Ye Ling among the three candidates, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Ye Rong hummed softly, "Don't be foolish. Even if I can't marry the prince, my sister will not marry you."
Song Yuanbao smiled and said, "The matchmaker's words are the orders of her parents. Whether she marrys me or not, what you say is not the limit."
Ye Rong was drinking and didn't say anything. After a while, he asked Song Yuanbao, "Mrs. Zhenxihou has come, why didn't your aunt come?"
Song Yuanbao and the Xu family's aunt who was turning around did not often, so they knew why she didn't come. They frowned, "Aunt Jia isn't your senior sister? You don't know, how could I know?"
"When I didn't ask." Ye Rong drank another glass of wine, as if he felt that there were so many people at the banquet, he got up and went out to leave.
The banquet continued until late at night, and during the period, the singing, dancing, singing, dancing, and flute changed several times, and the wine and food on the table were all cold.
After the ceremonies broke up, Yang Shoufu and his wife took their granddaughter Yang Xueru into the carriage.
Yang Shoufu had a tense face. The wife of the Shoufu, Cui, saw that he was in a bad mood, so he advised him: "I have ordered everything, so I will let it go."
Yang Xueru said: "The granddaughter didn't expect to be chosen by the emperor, but now it's over. The emperor's order is hard to disobey. No matter how much my grandfather thinks, it's useless. Now we can only deal with it carefully. Otherwise, it will make people see how our family is not happy, and we may arrange it in front of the emperor again."
Having said that, Yang Xueru was so happy.
She has always been self-reliant and extraordinary beauty. She looks down on the children of ordinary officials. She admires the prince tightly. It’s a pity that the Yang family is the backstage of the second prince, and she is destined to be out of fate with the prince. Unexpectedly, a surprise came from the sky, and the emperor directly chose her as the prince’s concubine.
When Yang Xueru thought of the prince's extremely handsome face, she wished she could marry him in two years.
