Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Guests of Honor in the Royal Mansion The first priority is appearance
Ming Zhao threw the sweat towel aside and took advantage of the situation to pull Atu and Rou Yi to sit on the Arhat couch. "I am thinking that the fourth daughter of Prince Anyou is choosing a son-in-law." - Xin Ruozhiheng.
Insert a line.
Wen Xiaotu was shocked. Prince Anyou was the brother of the founder of the country. He was a rare hereditary and irreplaceable prince in this dynasty! Although Prince Sheng was a prince and deeply trusted by the emperor, his title was also hereditary.
, one generation is getting lower than the other - well, but King Sheng is curved, so it shouldn’t matter... -_-||
"But it doesn't matter, Atu has a younger brother." Ming Zhao had a smile on his face.
Wen Xiaotu sweated heavily, "Your Majesty, I, this young brother of my concubine... although he has the best appearance among the brothers and sisters, he is still very naughty, and he cannot be good at literature or martial arts..." - So it is better not to harm the county leader.
Come on!
The daughter of the prince of this dynasty is granted the title of princess, and the daughter of the princess of the county is granted the title of county lord. If she is a concubine, she will be demoted to the second class. Since this is the legitimate daughter of Prince Anyou, she must have the title of county lord before she gets married.
Ming Zhao said calmly: "I know." So in the beginning, I was actually attached to the fourth brother Wen Chengsong who was in love with Ruda. Unfortunately, the peach was picked by the Xin family, so I had to settle for the next best thing.
"It doesn't matter, the palace's first choice for guests of honor is appearance." Ming Zhao said with a straight face.
The corner of Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched violently: Damn, appearance is the most important thing! So unreliable?!
The clan princes and nobles of the Xuan Dynasty had no real power, and the Qingliu families were unwilling to cling to them for fear of tarnishing their reputation. The powerful dignitaries did not dare to cling to them, for fear of making the king jealous. A family like the Wen family had some background, but no real power, and they were relatives.
, isn’t it just the best choice? As long as you have a dignified appearance, can support the appearance of the royal guest, and have no big flaws in your character, it will be an advantage if you don’t have outstanding talents!
The emperor hit the nail on the head when he said that appearance is the most important thing among the royal guests.
Logically speaking, Wen Xiaotu had no reason to object to such a good marriage, but she still felt a little sorry for her brother, so she asked in a low voice: "What is the temperament of this county head?"
Ming Zhao smiled: "If I weren't gentle and virtuous, I wouldn't mention it to you." - Is it possible that I would introduce a savage clan daughter to A'tu as my sister-in-law?
Wen Xiaotu breathed a sigh of relief. If that's the case, then there's no problem!
"As long as Prince Anyou doesn't dislike it, I'm naturally eager to do it." Wen Xiaotu couldn't believe that the Wen family could actually marry a gentle and gentle county mistress as a wife! It was really a blessing!
In fact, there were not many royal families in the Xuan Dynasty. Because after the founding of the country, the system of progressive descent from generation to generation was followed. At the founding of the country, there were only six hereditary princes. Two of them were involved in treason in the Taizu Dynasty, and they were completely ruined.
One extinct heir had also lost his inheritance, and another had been married to the rebellious Empress Hu and was deprived of his title. Therefore, there were only one prince and county prince left hereditary, and then there was Prince Sheng, and
The two princely brothers of the late emperor.
That's right, the princes of the current dynasty may not necessarily be crowned princes. If they are not favored, they will often be just a county prince. If it is passed on to their son, they will not even be a king, but just a prince.
Therefore, the guests of honor at the Prince's Mansion in Anyou County are extremely valuable.
Wen Xiaotu added: "I know that the emperor is partial to me, but I don't want to force the Prince to settle down. In the end, marriage is a matter of mutual consent between you and me." - Although it is impossible for two people to agree in love,
But you can’t forcefully twist me, right?
Ming Zhao lightly snorted: "How could Prince Anyou object? He has already tried to trick me twice and begged me to marry him." - This guy is a mature old loach, and his eyes are very vicious! If it weren't for his scruples, Because of his identity, he might even take the initiative to marry the Wen family!
Wen Xiaotu sweated. After all, he was the emperor's uncle...
Just when Congee Congee Fanfan turned one year old, Wen Xiaotu's twin brothers were given a marriage at the same time. The emperor decreed that the third daughter of Yongding Marquis Xin Wuyi be betrothed to Wen Chengsong as his wife, and the fourth daughter of the Prince of Anyou County was also granted a title. He became the head of Wanning County and selected Wen Chengbai as the guest of honor.
For a time, the Wen family envied many powerful people in Beijing.
This winter, Changyi Palace is even more popular.
In the northeast corner of the East Sixth Palace, there is the Taiping Palace that few people have set foot on. Although the East Sixth Palace is about the same size, there is a huge difference between those who are favored and those who are not favored. The threshold of Changyi Palace has to be stepped on, and Taiping Palace However, the palace is deserted in front of the palace.
After a winter snowfall, the eunuchs refused to clean up hard. They only cleared a path, then stopped working, and hid in the warm tea room one by one, lazing around and complaining that the master of the side hall was too useless. , which made them become slaves among slaves. When they went out, the eunuchs in Cui Baolin Palace were all arrogant to them.
The palace maid Mu Zi brought the hot charcoal basin into the east side hall. She smiled brightly: "It's really rare. There are no less charcoal cases this year, and the quality is not bad! Since the imperial concubine took charge of the Sixth Palace, my wife's share Then I won’t be deducted again!”
As she spoke, Mu Zi whispered: "It's just that the winter satin material is a bit old-fashioned..."
The Luo Meiren stroked her lyre, which she had not played for a long time, in silence.
Mu Zi smiled again and said: "Anyway, I finally don't have to suffer from the cold this winter. This is all thanks to the imperial concubine. Once you are well, you might as well go to Changyi Palace to express your gratitude."
Luo Meiren raised her eyes lightly, without any trace of emotion in her eyes, "Changyi Palace is very popular nowadays. If an unlucky person like me goes there, I will only attract people's disgust."
Mu Zi was startled for a moment, and she whispered: "But... the people below have been talking nonsense, saying that you... don't know how to repay your kindness."
The beautiful woman from Luo frowned.
Mu Zi hurriedly consoled her: "Over at Changyi Palace, you must not lose your etiquette. Madam... I'm afraid it will be rare for you to be favored in the future, and you will have to rely on the imperial concubine for the rest of your life. What if the imperial concubine also feels that you are ungrateful? Is good?"
——The last time I went to Changyi Palace, it was because the ban was lifted and Yu Jieyu came to invite me, so I went together. But Yu Jieyu moved to Shunhua Palace. For the grace of moving to the palace, Yu Jieyu Being taken by Lu Chongyi, I thanked her again. But it has been several months since the lady moved to the Taiping Palace. Although the imperial concubine asked the lady to rest, she should go and express her gratitude since she was feeling well.
Luo Meiren closed her eyes and sighed, "I understand, I will go tomorrow."
Mu Zi hurriedly said: "If Madam doesn't want to go alone, you can make an appointment with Yu Jieyu and go together." - Madam doesn't like to talk, and Yu Jieyu is lively and complements each other perfectly. It won't be awkward if she goes to the imperial concubine's palace. .
The Luomei nodded, "That's fine."
Therefore, the next morning, while Wen Xiaotu was playing with the cat and baby, he heard a report from below that Yu Jieyu and Luo Mei wanted to see him.
One is in the West Sixth Palace and the other is in the East Sixth Palace. They are separated by the huge Taihan Pond. How can we come together?
After being speechless and choked for three seconds, he asked someone to be invited into the palace to have tea.
