Chapter 415 Choosing a concubine
Xie Zhiwei was distracted. Yuan Shi brought her the clothes for the flower show, but she didn't realize it. It was Yuan Shi who called her before she came back to her senses and called "Mother".
"Why don't you change your clothes? The Empress specially arranged for someone to tell you to enter the palace earlier. Your cousin from the Cui family is almost here."
This time at the flower festival, although the Xie family got a post, Xie Tiao only let Xie Zhiwei enter the palace alone. For one thing, the girls of the Xie family are still very young, and they are three or four years behind the youngest Xiao Changxuan. Yes, Xie Tiao is unwilling to marry the princes, so as to avoid falling into the vortex of seizing the heirloom in the future.
If you succeed, you will not get any benefits, and it will not improve the Xie family's lintel. If you lose, it will be lost.
No matter how dissatisfied Xiao Shi was, there was nothing he could do.
The Cui family had no choice but to send a daughter into the palace, which is why the Cui family sent Cui Nanjia over this time. The emperor could no longer tolerate the Cui family's avoidance any longer. Cui Nanjia is naturally qualified to enter the palace to participate in the flower show.
Xie Zhiwei came out and got into the carriage. The two sisters exchanged some pleasantries, and Xie Zhiwei asked, "Fourth cousin, did second uncle say anything when you entered the palace this time?"
Cui Nanjia knew what Xie Zhiwei's question meant, she said, "This is exactly what I want to tell you, because this time the flower fair came in a hurry, and my father and mother didn't have time to say anything to Bo Ling, but when it came, my grandfather told me However, I gave us four words, keep it simple and humble, as for how to do it, what father means, we still need to hear what you mean, cousin Wei, after all, we don't know the temperament of the princes."
Sure enough, it was the same as in the previous life. In the previous life, the cousin and the second prince had treated each other with respect for more than ten years. When she died, the second prince was just the king of Yuyang County, but the concubine of the county palace was five years younger than the two concubines born to the cousin. At the age of six, my cousin is also very decent in the county palace, and this is already the best ending.
"The eldest prince is born of Concubine Yun, and his maternal ancestral home is Duke Lu's mansion. Presumably Concubine Yun has arrangements for the eldest prince."
In this life, although the fate of the eldest prince is different from that of the previous life, Duke Lu's mansion has a large army, led Qin Fenglu, and made great achievements in the battle with Xiliang. Presumably, Concubine Yun does not want her son to marry someone from the Cui family. Daughter, this is too ostentatious.
Since ancient times, the two camps of civil and military have been clearly separated and restricted each other. If the eldest prince has both Lu Guogong and Cui Xie behind him, the emperor must not dare to close his eyes when he sleeps.
Cui Nanjia is not stupid either, she nodded, "The second prince is born of my concubine Jing, if it is a last resort, this is the best arrangement."
"That's really wronging my cousin." Xie Zhiwei also felt that this was the best choice. The two looked at each other, and they both thought about it. Since they have to accept the arrangement of fate, why don't they take the initiative and give themselves more Strive for the best ending.
The carriage slowed down in front of Xihua Gate, thinking that it would take at least a cup of tea before it was their turn, but who knows, some sharp-eyed **** saw Xie Zhiwei's carriage and pointed at it, "Let The princess's car is coming, everyone behind is waiting!"
It happened to be Huihe's turn, but the car was stopped, and the servants wanted to let Xie Zhiwei's carriage go first, she was immediately annoyed, she stuck her head out of the car window, and said angrily, "Why do you let a dog look down on people? The county magistrate is waiting?"
"Oh, it's Huihe county master. I'm sorry, but the queen sent a message. If the princess comes, let the princess go in quickly. If you don't agree, then go and argue with the queen. What do slaves, who are inferior to pigs and dogs, care about?"
Hui and the county magistrate continued to scold, but Xie Zhiwei's carriage approached and almost squeezed her head, and she quickly retracted, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Her servant girl hurriedly grabbed her and persuaded her in a low voice, "Master, before you come, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already ordered you not to show off the limelight today. The palace is choosing a marriage partner. Incredible."
"Hmph, what are you worried about? Do you think the palace will choose me? Don't worry, there is already a candidate. Yuan Jia is a descendant, so he will definitely not send it away. Linghua has the great backer of Duke Lu's mansion. The emperor's uncle must not dare to send her out, didn't Miss Xue say that? The second princess is the unlucky one."
The second princess Shu Ning and Xiao Changxuan are brothers and sisters of the same mother. When Concubine Ning De was favored, she was as popular as Yuan Jia in the palace. Now that her mother has been demoted, she can only keep her tail between her legs and behave carefully.
Early this morning, she came to Fengzhi Palace to serve in front of the Empress Empress. Firstly, she could only curry favor with this aunt, and secondly, she didn't want to get married. She hoped that the Empress Empress could see that she was sensible and well-behaved. For the sake of it, let her go one yard.
"Empress, Princess Duanxian is here!" Cuiyuan walked over quickly, saluted the queen, and reported the report.
Before the queen could speak, Yuan Jia had already stood up and said happily, "Please!"
The queen was a little helpless, she stroked her swollen belly, and embarrassedly said to the concubines sitting on the ground, "Look at this little monkey, who is almost old enough to discuss marriage, and is still so unsteady, and he is not afraid of being laughed at." .”
Who dares to say that the eldest princess is not? Even if there are all kinds of bad things, no one dares to say it in front of the queen.
What's more, Linghua doesn't know what's going on, and now her relationship with Yuanjia is getting better and better. Concubine Yun said with a smile, "Is the empress beating the concubine? If you want to talk about little monkeys, how can there be so few in this palace?" What about Linghua, the monkey?"
The empress laughed loudly, and the noble ladies who accompanied her earlier on the ground also laughed.
Xie Zhiwei led Cui Nanjia across the threshold of Fengzhi Palace, she glanced at the people sitting inside, she came forward, saluted with the queen and all the concubines, "Duanxian pays respects to the queen, I have seen the imperial concubine and all the empresses!"
Cui Nanjia followed her to salute, her voice was clear, her appearance was beautiful, graceful, dignified and polite.
"Is this a girl from the Cui family? It's called Nanjia? Come up quickly, I'll take a look!" the queen said.
Everyone knew that this was the empress' intention to value Cui Nanjia, and they all envied her.
In and outside the palace, everyone knows that the empress dotes on Xie Zhiwei, and Cui Nanjia is Xie Zhiwei's cousin, and the Cui family is a famous doctor for generations, and everyone in the world is willing to make friends. Who doesn't want to have more lives at critical times?
It is only natural that the empress attaches great importance to Cui Nanjia.
Cui Nanjia went forward, the queen held her hand, looked up and down, no matter in appearance or demeanor, they were much better than the noble ladies in Beijing, but unfortunately, her emperor's son was still in her stomach, and she couldn't think about it now After these, he turned sideways and said to Concubine Jing, "This is really a good boy, what does my sister think?"
