After Emperor Ming Yuan left, Concubine Lu was very worried.
She knew that the emperor was interested in this marriage, otherwise he would not ask her. He himself refused directly.
The emperor would agree to Huai'er marrying a merchant's daughter. He must have asked many people to ask. He only came to this consideration after getting no results.
Could it be said that Huai'er really can't find a good wife?
She felt uncomfortable in her heart. The next day she asked her parents-in-law to invite her sisters-in-law into the palace to talk.
She was not lucky, her nieces from her mother's family were all married, and it was not possible to marry her. Fortunately, her two sisters-in-law followed her brother to Beijing for a long time. They had a good meal in Beijing and knew many people, so it would be a good idea to ask them to help and keep an eye on her.
Concubine Lu's two sisters-in-law, one from the Diao family and the other from the Wu family, were not from the capital. They followed their husband to Beijing and then lived in the capital.
Concubine Lu's natal family was not very capable, otherwise they would not have been so frustrated over the years.
Hearing Concubine Lu talk about King Huai's marriage, Diao was the first to say: "My dear, when it comes to marrying a virtuous wife, one's background is not the most important thing. Good character, good character, and filial piety to you, that's all."
Mrs. Wu also said: "That's right. What do people want in life? Isn't it just for peace and prosperity? The prince had a serious illness. This kind of disease can make people stop. If you want a noble girl from a noble family, you may be afraid of it.
If it’s difficult, it’s better to lower your requirements and see which foreign official is suitable and then marry her.”
Concubine Lu frowned. The daughter of a local official cannot be considered. Apart from her family background, she doesn't know everything about her. How can she rest assured? After all, after marrying her, she will take care of the huge palace.
Mrs. Wu said: "Madam, I happen to know a woman. She is the daughter of the magistrate of Zouzhou. She has just grown hair this year. She is pretty, has a good personality, is knowledgeable and sensible, and is quite famous in Zouzhou. Why don't you consider it?"
"
"Yes, I heard it's good." Diao quickly added.
Concubine Lu looked at Mrs. Wu and said, "Prefect of Xuanzhou? Isn't that your cousin?"
Mrs. Wu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, my family background is not bad. My cousin is now an official of the fifth rank."
Concubine Lu didn't want to. She had seen Wu's cousin before. He was three-pointed and octagonal, acrimonious, and very good at flattering. When Wu married her, she had not yet entered the palace. This cousin had been here before.
Several times, those who admired the superior met with those who were inferior and stepped on them. This kind of person cannot treat his in-laws.
Concubine Lu waved her hands and thought of the merchant's daughter that the emperor mentioned. The emperor seemed to agree. Then maybe she was a good character. If she was okay, it would be better to meet her first.
However, even with her distinguished status, she went to see the merchant's daughter and lost face by telling her, which made her feel melancholy for a while.
It should be noted that after Emperor Yuan returned to his palace, Eunuch Mu Ru couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, you have almost spent all the money in the inner treasury, and there is only about ten thousand taels left."
Emperor Ming Yuan glared at him, "Why do you keep reminding me about this? It's already early winter, and it's enough to save a few thousand dollars during the Chinese New Year."
Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "If King Huai gets married, how much do you want to give as a bride price out of these ten thousand pieces of silver?"
The black night thunder exploded above Emperor Ming Yuan's head.
Yes, a prince's marriage cannot be shabby, especially since Lao Liu has been wronged for so long. His marriage must be a grand affair, but the money cannot be withdrawn from the treasury, and the treasury is now even emptyer than his heart.
The royal family allocates a sum of money from the national treasury to the inner treasury every year for royal expenses. All large and small matters are drawn from the inner treasury. It was enough in previous years, but it has been really hard in the past two years, and a lot of private money has been used to supplement it.
"Maybe the Emperor can give me something..." He thought for a moment and came up with the idea of the Emperor's small treasury... I am the dividing line between the poor emperors who are struggling on the poverty line...
Qiankun Hall.
"How many times?" The Supreme Emperor sat on a small bench, smoking a cigarette, and raised his head coldly to ask Eunuch Chang.
Eunuch Chang carefully raised three fingers and said, "Three times."
"A few days?"
Eunuch Chang calculated, "It should be a month, right? If not a month, it's more than half a month."
The Supreme Emperor puffed his beard and stared, "Isn't it true that he is dead alone?"
Eunuch Chang quickly comforted him, "Don't be angry. I'm afraid I'm so busy lately that I won't be able to come and greet you for the moment. If you really care about me, I'll make a request to go there tomorrow."
The Supreme Emperor was furious, "Busy? I haven't come to Gu here three times since I entered the palace. How much time will it take to come here? What kind of big undertaking will it delay? And I just said that I haven't been here for a month? Isn't it more than a month? Gu thinks at least
It’s only been half a year. Yes, now that I have full wings, I don’t need Lonely Zhao to care about me. Naturally, I don’t have to come to entertain the old man and pass on orders. People don’t have the heart, so what’s the use of passing orders? It’s the people who come, not the heart.
, Gu Buqi, it’s best not to come here in the future.”
After saying that, he stood up and kicked the chair next to him. He was embarrassed and couldn't kick. He was so angry that he turned around and kicked the small bench he was sitting on. The small bench flew out, hit the door and bounced back.
As soon as he turned around, the bench bounced back and hit his calf. He threw himself forward, and Eunuch Chang couldn't catch him in time. He heard a "pop" and fell to the white jade floor.
Eunuch Chang was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. He hurriedly helped him. When he saw that he was bleeding from kowtow, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come here, call the imperial doctor!"
The Supreme Emperor was supported by him and sat on a chair, with a frighteningly gloomy face. He reached out and touched his forehead, blood fell on his hand, and said coldly: "Don't pass on the imperial doctor!"
"How about that..."
"Okay or not, I have the final say, just die." Seeing him standing in front of his eyes, the Supreme Emperor shouted angrily, "What are you doing standing still? Bring something to stop the bleeding."
In the Qiankun Hall, there was a sudden chaos. The Supreme Emperor was angry and did not allow anyone to touch his injury. Even Eunuch Chang did not allow him. He applied styptic powder himself, and then took a piece of cloth to bandage his head. The bandage was very ugly and tight.
After wrapping it tightly several times, blood came out and stained the cloth.
After he lay down angrily, Eunuch Chang hurriedly went to find the emperor. When the emperor heard that the Supreme Emperor was injured, he became anxious and asked the reason. He was actually angry with the Crown Princess and said that the Crown Princess did not go to greet him when she entered the palace.
Emperor Ming Yuan sighed, the old man is just like a child now, he wants to be coaxed and played, and the princess is also in the palace, why don't you go and see her? It's really heartless.

He didn't make any order, and directly asked Eunuch Mu Ru to go out of the palace to find Yuan Qingling, explain the situation to her, and ask her to come to the palace tomorrow.
He then told Eunuch Chang not to tell the Emperor that he had sent someone to report to the palace, but to say that the Crown Princess had gone to the palace to pay her respects by herself, so as not to hurt the Emperor's young and fragile mind.
Eunuch Chang sighed, "The Emperor's temper is getting worse and worse now. It would be better for the Emperor to spend more time with you when he has time."
Emperor Ming Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, I will go."
Emperor Ming Yuan also felt guilty. He was really busy recently, so he didn't bother to say hello. The old lady was fine, surrounded by a lot of women from the harem, but the old man was in the Qiankun Palace all day, saying he wanted to be quiet.
, in fact, he was also looking forward to someone coming to talk to him.
He paid too much attention to Yuan Qingling and placed a lot of hopes on him, so he naturally asked Yuan Qingling to pay more attention to him. He went to the palace several times without visiting him, and Yuan Qingling didn't want the dog head anymore. This chapter has been completed!
