There were no big problems when the two princes entered the school. At most, Ah Tang cried for her mother at night. Yue Wangshu would call her mother into the palace from time to time to let her own mother coax her, and then she would slowly fall asleep.
got used to.
The third prince's side was even more stable, and even such a trivial matter had never happened.
In the summer, cicadas chirped endlessly. On such a hot day, Concubine Xiang visited the Yuanzhi Palace.
"I know that the imperial concubine was busy a while ago, so I never dared to disturb her." Concubine Xiang is now more and more respectful to her. It may be because of the hot weather today, so she looks a little anxious.
"But what went wrong?" Do you need me to help you fix it?
Concubine Xiang waved her hands quickly: "There are only a few concubines in the palace, how can anything go wrong? I am doing this for the sake of concubine."
"The eldest princess?" Yue Wangshu was slightly confused, "The eldest princess is not a child now, what else can happen?"
Concubine Xiang sighed: "The noble concubine also knows that she is no longer a child! In a few days, it will be her seventeenth birthday! How can I not be anxious?"
Oh, I understand, I am in a hurry to marry my daughter!
No wonder Yue Wangshu didn't think about it, the main reason is that she has always regarded the eldest princess as a child, but she also understands that in this era, a woman becomes an adult at the age of fifteen, and if she does not make a marriage decision at the age of seventeen, she will be
It’s an old girl!
"In this matter, it stands to reason that you should discuss with the emperor to choose a good consort." Although Yue Wangshu is a noble concubine, she is only a concubine, and she should not have to interfere in this matter.
"Of course I have mentioned it to the emperor many times, but the emperor only said to wait a little. Months ago, he changed his mind and said that he wanted to think about it... I didn't dare to ask again, but I was really anxious."
Concubine Xiang even suspected that the emperor was not interested at all!
Yue Wangshu suddenly nodded, "I understand. I'll ask the emperor for you later."
Concubine Xiang was begging for such a sentence, and her brows immediately became relieved, "Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine has also watched Lou Yu grow up. Please help me with her marriage."
Yue Wangshu asked with a smile: "I wonder what kind of consort the eldest princess would like to choose?" - one with outstanding literary talent or one with excellent martial arts? Or one with both civil and military talents?
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This child is becoming more and more willful, saying that it is better to never marry for the rest of his life! Listen, is this what a daughter's family should say?"
Yue Wangshu could probably understand how he felt. The days when he was in the boudoir were the happiest days in his daughter's life, not to mention that she was the eldest daughter who was favored by the emperor. But she said with a smile: "Big brother"
Princess, this is filial piety and I can’t bear to leave you.”
Concubine Xiang shook her head and sighed: "No matter how reluctant you are to let go, you have to get married."
"You don't have to be too anxious. As the saying goes, the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married! What's more, our eldest princess is as beautiful as a flower. How many people are eager to honor her master."
Such joking and joking made Concubine Xiang gradually feel relieved. Yes, your majestic princess, are you still worried about not being able to find your husband's family?
At this moment, Li Yue quickly stepped in and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang, your Majesty is here."
Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "That's a coincidence!"
The real owner came and happened to ask Concubine Xiang face to face.
Concubine Xiang looked a little unnatural, as if she was afraid that the emperor would be angry because of this. Concubine Xiang opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she saw that the curtain had been opened!
Concubine Xiang had no choice but to shut up and accompany the concubine to salute and say hello.
"Why is Concubine Xiang here?" Yan Zheng hurriedly suppressed his smile and looked much straighter.
Yue Wangshu said with a smile: "Just now, I was joking with Concubine Xiang and asked her what kind of consort she wanted to choose from the eldest princess! Before Concubine Xiang had time to answer, the emperor came!"
Concubine Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Zheng took advantage of the situation and took a seat in Yue Wangshu's chair. He glanced at the exquisite snacks on the coffee table next to him. He wanted to grab one and try it, but he took it back halfway, "卍娍's marriage... I'm thinking
There are definitely some considerations."
Yue Wangshu gestured for tea and said with a smile: "Does the Emperor already have someone he likes?"
Yan Zheng glanced at Concubine Xiang and knew who probably wanted to know. He smiled softly and said:
"I don't know if it's because I have grown up and Cheng Zhen has reached the age to marry a royal concubine. So I thought about choosing a consort from the Meng family or a prince's concubine."
Yue Wangshu and Concubine Xiang looked at each other, but neither of them felt too surprised.
Queen Xianning's mother's family, Qingning Mansion, has to be said to be an excellent choice, but I don't know if the Meng family has any outstanding boys or girls in this generation.
Yue Wangshu really didn't understand much about this.
Concubine Xiang smiled and said: "It is a good story to be able to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the Marquis of Qingning. As far as I know, the eldest son of the Marquis of Qingning is already eighteen years old, and the eldest daughter is sixteen. These two
Has the child never been engaged yet?"
"Not only did Meng Yuanqing, the eldest son of Qingning Marquis, not have an engagement, he didn't even have a concubine. It's just that... his talent is not outstanding." Yan Zheng shook his head as he spoke, seeming to hesitate.
Concubine Xiang was very satisfied when she heard this: "The most important thing in choosing a son-in-law is character!" Anyway, she is the eldest son and will one day become a noble. If she marries a princess, there is a high probability that she will not be demoted and will still be a queen in the future.
Marquis! What does it matter if your talent is mediocre?
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but laugh a little: "I just thought that Queen Xianning has a good character and her nephew must be good too. Naturally, Miss Meng must be good too."
Yan Zheng said calmly: "Indeed, the daughter of Marquis Qingning is smarter and more capable than his son."
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and her heart was pounding. Could it be that the emperor wanted to give the Meng family a prince concubine more? Compared to the consort, the prince concubine was naturally more kind to her!
"I still need to think about this matter for a few more days, so you don't have to worry. Is my daughter still worried about getting married?" Yan Zheng looked a little cold. This Concubine Xiang is too impatient!
Concubine Xiang did not dare to say anything for a moment, so she could only look at the noble concubine Yue.
Yue Wangshu: What are you looking at?!
First of all, no matter how much the emperor takes care of the Meng family, it is obviously impossible for him to marry both the princess and the prince's concubine. However, from a safe point of view, the Meng family probably hopes to marry the princess to ensure that the family title will not be reduced.
"The emperor always loves the eldest princess, don't worry." Yue Wangshu could only comfort Concubine Xiang's restless heart.
Concubine Xiang sighed, "I understand."
"Okay." Yan Zheng waved his hand, "If there is nothing else, Concubine Xiang can just step back."
Concubine Xiang looked at the noble concubine again, and had to bow her knees angrily, "I, my concubine, leave."
After Concubine Xiang left, Yue Wangshu sat down next to the emperor, "Really, Liu Lang, he knew Concubine Xiang was anxious, why didn't he make a decision earlier?"
Yan Zheng suddenly became a little unhappy: "It's because Chang Yu didn't want to marry early, so I deliberately kept her for a few more years! How come it's not mine?"
Well...if this is what Lou Yu means, then the emperor is a good father.
Yue Wangshu smiled with his face: "From what Liu Lang said, could it be that he prefers that girl from the Meng family?" - It seems that it would be okay for the second prince to marry a smart and capable concubine who is also a cousin and not yet related by blood.
