When the Meng brothers and sisters lost their father, they both had to observe mourning for three years. Naturally, they were unable to pay homage to their master or marry the prince.
Therefore, Mu Fusheng, the eldest son of Duke Mu, was chosen as the consort, and Yu Jiuniang, the niece of Marquis Changlong and the niece of the Queen Mother, was chosen as the third prince's concubine. It seemed that everyone was happy.
The eldest princess Lou Yu was also officially canonized as Princess Anguo, and Concubine Xiang was responsible for preparing for her marriage. For a time, the palace was lively and joyful, but the gloom of the past was swept away.
Yue Wangshu Tete came to Huiming Palace early in the morning and presented his makeup gift list.
After Concubine Xiang read the list, she couldn't help but gasped: "This is too expensive for the imperial concubine!" - there are ten ginsengs worth eight ounces! Although ginseng is not as rare as it used to be, eight ounces are still very valuable.
It is valuable, not to mention there are many treasures, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Yue Wangshu smiled and said: "I also watched Su Yu grow up. Now that she is getting married, she naturally has to do her best."
Concubine Xiang couldn't help but sigh, yes, when the concubine first entered the palace, she was still a picky little girl. In the blink of an eye, she was about to get married.
After chatting with Concubine Xiang about some wedding matters, Yue Wangshu went to the inner room alone to visit Changyu.
Nowadays, Lou Yu no longer has the resentful look before, which shows that this husband is very happy.
"Your concubine!" Lou Yu smiled brightly and arrogantly, her eyes full of expectation and joy for marriage. She spoke about Mu Fusheng again in a few words, "He calls Ruomeng by name, he is said to be excellent at calligraphy and painting, and he is skilled in pommel and horsemanship.
, he is a young handsome man with both civil and military skills! He is also a very clean man and never goes to any fireworks place!"
"Your father picked this one out of thousands of people, and he is more serious than choosing his own concubine!" Yue Wangshu couldn't help but joke.
Lou Yu's face instantly turned as red as the sunset, "You are making fun of me again! Since you returned to the palace, when did your father choose a concubine?"
Yue Wangshu was stunned for a moment, yes, Yan Zheng has never had the slightest thought in these years.
She stroked the princess's bun and said, "In this life, it is rare to be able to choose the person you like to marry. You cherish this fate. Don't bully the consort by relying on your status as a princess."
Lou Yu whispered: "Look at what you said, how can I be so domineering?"
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but smile. She was naturally a little willful. Although she had a good nature, she couldn't be as gentle and humble to her husband as an ordinary daughter.
"Your concubine...don't you like my father?" Su Yu suddenly grasped the key point in Yue Wangshu's words.
Yue Wangshu smiled and did not answer, "The important thing is that you have the freedom to choose..." Although it is not absolute freedom, if she doesn't want to marry the mediocre Meng Yuanqing, she can choose a more outstanding man. Such limited freedom is also indispensable.
It is so precious. Such a marriage is worth managing with care.
Lou Yu suddenly became silent. So, your mother and concubine really don't like your father?
"You should give your consort face in front of others, and it's okay to be a little willful behind others." Yue Wangshu couldn't help but impart some experience from those who have been through it, "Don't be tough, but don't be weak. Don't cause trouble when you have nothing to do, and don't be afraid of trouble when you encounter it.
, you must always remember that you are a princess, you can rely on the backstage, no one can bully you."
"Your Majesty, I am not a child anymore. I understand all this." Lou Yu suddenly held Yue Wangshu's hand, "I will be fine in the future... But what about you? What are your plans in the future?"
Yue Wangshu was startled, "I can already see my future at a glance. What else is there to plan for?"
Lou Yu whispered: "The assassination was inexplicable before and the case was closed inexplicably. But I think it is not that simple. The father is so powerful that Lan Guifei and the third brother suffered an unreasonable disaster. But this is a good thing for you. The second brother wants to
If you marry a woman from a branch of the Yu family, your fourth brother will be more likely to become a prince."
Yes, after this incident, Lan Guifei and the Shen family were implicated. Although they were both released now, the emperor did not give any comfort or expression. On the contrary, he treated Lan Guifei and her son more and more coldly.
From this point of view, it is indeed more beneficial to Adi.
Yue Wangshu rubbed his brows and said, "You don't need to pay attention to these things. I... know what I know." How could she not see that the emperor was deliberately taking the opportunity to strike?
The second prince is mediocre, and this marriage grant is also mediocre. He seems to be further away from the position of prince.
In comparison, although the third prince Cheng Jin and her Adi are young, they are both known to be intelligent, and their biological mothers are much more respectable, so they are naturally more likely to become princes.
But after this battle, it was the youngest Adi who had the upper hand.
"Just settle down and prepare for marriage." Yue Wangshu didn't want Wei Yu to be involved, she just wanted to be a happy princess.
Lou Yu nodded and murmured: "I often wonder, since my father likes you so much, why doesn't he make you the queen?"
"The queen is certainly noble, but she has to carry more and heavier things." Isn't it possible that Queen Meng was overwhelmed by this position? The queen must be virtuous, treat all the princes and princesses as her own, and even take the initiative to help the emperor
Drafting and marrying concubines...these things make people feel sick just thinking about them.
Lou Yu was no longer a child. She sighed quietly: "No matter how noble the imperial concubine is, she is still just the concubine of the father."
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your mother is still a concubine. Concubine Xiang is not dissatisfied. What else can I find fault with?"
Lou Yu whispered: "It's different. After all, my mother-in-law has no son, so why are we fighting for the throne?"
Do you have to fight for the throne if you have a son?
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but laugh, but he had to admit, yes, since ancient times, who among the concubines who had a son did not hope to go one step further and become a queen, so as to pave the way to the Eastern Palace for their son?
"This kind of thing depends on your father's will. How can I control this?" Yue Wangshu could only say perfunctorily.
Lou Yu nodded slowly: "Yes, it will only work if Father nods. I really don't understand how Father likes you so much..."
But he has not established a queen or a prince for a long time.
"This time, Concubine Lan and the third brother are involved, presumably because the courtiers have been urging the father to establish a prince... Although the previous court did not clearly say who it was, the second brother is older after all." Lou Yu whispered, "Noble mother.
Concubine, you should make plans early."
Yes, no matter how mediocre the second prince is, he has the greatest advantage at this moment.
There are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants.
Fortunately, the previous assassination had nothing to do with the second prince, otherwise how could he possibly marry a cousin?
Yue Wangshu suddenly felt that maybe... she would soon become the queen.
Otherwise, the previous dynasty would only have more and more calls for him to become a minister. Even if the second prince never dared to have such an intention, even if the second prince was the most mediocre son of the emperor.
But Yue Wangshu doesn't want to become the queen so soon. Firstly, he is considering little Adi, and secondly... once he becomes the queen, can he still leave the palace as soon as he wants to? And with the palace power, he can be a noble concubine.
She could be lazy when she was young, but when she became the queen, she couldn't just shirk it to Concubine Xiang, right?
