Wang Yuanji seemed to have not slept well last night, and the dark circles under her eyes were obvious. When she was saluting, Zhang Yuan sighed secretly, thinking that this was the woman that His Majesty insisted on marrying from Wei State.
It seems that His Majesty really cares about this little girl.
Your Majesty must have stayed in her Lanlin Palace last night.
But Zhang Yuan was a little curious. Logically speaking, Princess Dongxiang was better than Wang Yuanji in terms of appearance and temperament. How could His Majesty care more about her?
After Wang Yuanji finished the ceremony and sat down, Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The two sisters have entered Weiyang Palace for the first time. If there is anything unsatisfactory in the future, you can come to see my sister. I will try my best to help the two sisters."
"Thank you, Queen."
The two of them thanked each other in unison, and the man Yuan Zhang waved his hand and said: "How many years have I grown compared to you? From now on, when you and I are the only sisters around, just call me sister. It's more cordial."
Zhang Yuan spoke kindly, and the two of them relaxed after being a little nervous.
Especially Wang Yuanji, she was a little worried before coming.
I used to often hear people say that the women in the harem were intrigues.
But after communicating with Zhang Yuan, she felt that this harem was not as scary as others said.
Seeing that both of them relaxed, Zhang Yuan smiled again and said: "By the way, sister, I have to tell you that our Majesty sometimes likes to play around, or say some weird things, so you two sisters don't have to be too
Mind you, our Majesty is like this. After getting along for a long time, you will get used to it."
"Thank you sister!"
The two of them thanked each other again, and then the three women were in Jiaofang Hall, chatting and laughing with each other. The scene was very warm, just like sisters.
It’s just that Cao Ling always forced a smile.
Although the emperor said last night that he would not care about her assassination.
I went to the Queen's place today to pay her respects, but I didn't notice anything strange.
But she was still a little worried.
In fact, she didn't sleep well last night. It should be said that she stayed up all night.
However, although she has a good impression of Zhang Yuan, she still does not regard herself as a woman in this palace because she is the princess of the Wei Kingdom.
While the three women were chatting in Jiaofang Hall, Liu Chan had already started to get busy.
Not long after he got up in the morning, the imperial censor Xu Shu came to see him early.
Xuanshi Palace——
"Your Majesty!"
Xu Shu said seriously: "I shouldn't bother Your Majesty today," as he said, he handed over a memorial and said: "It's just that the big man is full of waste and waiting for work, and the humble ministers have no choice but to bother Your Majesty."
"What are you talking about, Aiqing?" Liu Chan took the memorial and read it while saying, "Aiqing is the pillar of the country. He works on state affairs all day long and shares my worries. Why bother me?"
Just as he was talking, Liu Chan's eyes widened and he asked in confusion: "Xu Aiqing, haven't I already selected two nobles? Why do I need to select additional concubines?"
Liu Chan was really confused.
Xu Shu's memorial stated that when the capital was moved to Chang'an last year, His Majesty promised the ministers that in order to continue the Han Dynasty, two more concubines would be needed. However, due to the marriage with Wei, the matter was delayed. Now the marriage has been completed.
It has been completed and the concubine selection should be carried out immediately.
What the hell?
Wang Yuanji and Cao Ling, aren’t they just the new concubines?
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu naturally knew why Liu Chan was surprised. He said, "The reason for marrying Wei was to buy time for the great man to recuperate, so he made this choice."
"But, the princess of Wei."
"And Wang Su's daughter."
"They are all the daughters of Cao Wei. How can your Majesty rely on the daughters of Cao Wei to continue the reign of the country?"
In Xu Shu's heart, this so-called marriage was originally a transaction. As for Cao Ling and Wang Yuanji, in his eyes, they were not worthy of being the imperial concubines of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that now that the Han Dynasty has entered Guanzhong for the first time, it also needs a truce and rest.
It happened that Cao Wei took the initiative to make peace, which was a rare opportunity.
If the Han Dynasty were given another three to five years, Cao Wei would be the first to stand up and ask the emperor to reject him, let alone marry one princess. Even if he married ten or hundreds of thousands of princesses, he would be the first to ask the emperor to refuse.
The traitors of the Han Dynasty do not stand in harmony with each other, and the king's industry does not take sides.
This is the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
"No, no, no!" Liu Chan said speechlessly: "I said that we only need to choose two concubines. Now I have selected two nobles, King Cao, and there is no need to add any more concubines." After that, he reminded: "Now
As a big man, we also have internal and external troubles, so it is better to focus on recuperating and developing national strength."
Xu Shu did not expect Liu Chan to refuse, so he added: "Your Majesty, the three concubines in the palace now, except the queen, and the two nobles of King Cao, are all women of Cao Wei..." At this point, he suddenly stopped
.
This made Liu Chan stunned.
Isn’t it?
There are currently three concubines in the harem, two of whom are from Cao Wei. Only Zhang Yuan is a Han woman. If there is chaos in the harem, or if Cao Ling and Wang Yuanji join forces, they may threaten Zhang Yuan.
This is Xu Shu's worry.
Liu Chan loved Zhang Yuan deeply, and he also watched costume movies and TV dramas in his previous life. If these women in the harem really fought, they would be even worse than fighting on the battlefield.
And what happened last night.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan continued to read Xu Shu's memorial.
Above the memorial, in addition to asking for additional concubines, there was also a long list of names at the back, and a note in front indicating that this was a waiting list for new concubines, a total of fifty-six people.
As soon as he saw the name, Liu Chan was surprised by the first name.
Zhang Yang——
That's right, it's Zhang Yang.
This really shocked Liu Chan. Of course he knew who Zhang Yuan was. She was the biological sister of Queen Zhang Yuan. Historically, after her sister passed away, she became Liu Chan's new queen.
However, Liu Chan has always regarded her as his sister.
After all, Zhang Yang is his sister-in-law.
When he traveled through time, Zhang Yang was only over six years old.
Counting now, she will be fifteen years old soon.
Could it be——
Is Zhang Yang destined to become Liu Chan’s woman?
The following names are relatively unfamiliar to Liu Chan.
"Xu Aiqing," Liu Chan closed the memorial, knowing that this matter seemed inevitable. Before, the Han Dynasty had a prime minister, Zhuge Liang, and now there was a censor, Xu Shu. Even if he could say anything, he knew that he would not be able to say this.
Two wise ministers.
After all, they were also thinking about the Han Dynasty. In this case, it was better to just follow their wishes, so Liu Chan said: "There is no need to choose the two new concubines."
Hearing this, Xu Shu wanted to continue to dissuade him, thinking that Liu Chan was trying to refuse, but he didn't want Liu Chan to say, "Just Zhang Yang and Ma E."
Ah???
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Xu Shu was shocked.
Isn’t this a bit too casual?
This list was drawn up by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang himself. He basically didn't know the people on it, except for the first one, Zhang Yang, who was the second daughter of the late Emperor's general Zhang Fei.
"Your Majesty!"
Xu Shu was about to speak, but was stopped by Liu Chan: "Xu Aiqing, as for the new concubine, just do it according to my wishes." As he said this, he was more concerned about another thing in the memorial, and he said: "This move
Xiaolian’s matter..."
