How could Princess Wen Xian, who had always been polite and sensible, not advise her on such a matter, "Second sister, my mother is joking with you." - There is no way to draw lots for this kind of thing, and these three titles are likely to be awarded in all likelihood.
Nine was drawn up by the emperor himself. If it were drawn by lots, it would really be disrespectful to the emperor.
Wen Xiaotu said with a smile: "I'm not joking. These three titles are all pretty good. If you're not sure, there's nothing wrong with grabbing one with your eyes closed."
Princess Wen Xian has black lines on her head. Are you serious, Queen Mother? Aren’t you always dignified and virtuous?!
Maybe...the queen mother is too young?
Jin Shu had already found a big box with great interest, quickly folded up the three pieces of red paper and threw it in. It shook violently for a while, then rubbed his hands excitedly, closed his eyes and took out one piece.
.
Finally, Jin Shu opened his eyes wide and unfolded the red paper with concentration.
Then, a look of disappointment appeared on her pink face.
Wen Xiaotu was secretly happy, it didn't look like Wen Hui.
Jin Shu muttered: "It's Wen Yu."
Wen Xiaotu smiled and joked: "What? Do you regret it? Do you want to arrest me again?" - Anyway, it's Tu Yile.
Jin Shu frowned and said, "We agreed to draw lots, how can we regret it!"
Wen Xiaotu snickered, well, you are quite principled!
Princess Wen Xian could only force out a smile: "Wen Huibingxin, Zhong Lingyuxiu, in fact, she is also very good."
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought that the word "wisdom" is more appropriate. Although Jin Shu is not smart, he does have a pretty face.
"Okay." Jin Shu spread her hands and felt relieved quickly. She caressed her cheek and said delicately: "This princess is indeed very handsome."
Wen Xiaotu: Shameless little girl!
Princess Wen Xian couldn't help laughing.
Wen Xiaotu asked someone to grind the red ink, and then put a red circle on the paper with the word "Wen Yu" written on it, which was considered a decision.
At this moment, Xiao Yinzi came in and reported that Concubine Shu wanted to see her.
Wen Xiaotu guessed that it was for the flower appreciation feast, so he invited him in with a smile.
"Hey, the princess and the princess are here!" Concubine Xin Ruozhi bent her knees, bowed to the middle palace, and joked with a smile.
Xin Ruozhi's sharp eyes quickly spotted the word "Wen Yu" circled in red on the ebony tray, "Your Majesty, this is -"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that you are here. I have just chosen the title for Jin Shu."
Xin Ruozhi looked surprised, "Are you going to choose a son-in-law for the second princess?" - Aren't you going to choose the princess for the prince first? This year, the second princess shouldn't get married, right?
Jin Shu blushed: "Shu Fei! If you choose a title, can't you stay in the palace?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled with a hint of doting: "This child is clamoring for it, so I have discussed it with the emperor and simply give it to her in advance. Anyway, it will be a matter of time."
"So that's it!" Xin Ruozhi thought to herself. After all, she is the legitimate princess. Not only does the emperor favor her, but the queen also treats her as her own. "Princess Wen Yu, this word is really great!"
Xin Ruozhi looked at this beautiful princess from the Wen family and couldn't help but nod.
Jin Shu's little face was slightly proud of herself. She had caught it with her eyes closed, and it was the best.
Princess Wen Xian couldn't bear to say that she was actually chosen by lot.
Xin Ruozhi joked for a while, and then turned to the business: "Your Majesty, the flower viewing banquet has been arranged. This is the list of ladies and ladies entering the palace for the banquet. Please take a look at it."
Huaixu quickly stepped forward and presented the fold to his wife.
Jin Shu couldn't help but look up immediately. She sat on the embroidered pier next to her and stretched her neck to get a real look.
Princess Wen Xian couldn't help but tugged on Jin Shu's sleeve, "This is so unruly, you are a royal princess!"
Wen Xiaotu didn't notice his daughter's little move, he just looked at the list carefully. Needless to say, they were all daughters of aristocratic families. Naturally, since a flower viewing banquet was going to be held, the wives of each family were naturally invited.
Wen Xiaotu didn't want to make a selection directly. This time, he just went through it first, picked some good ones, and secretly noted them down before proceeding to the next round of selection.
Therefore, there are quite a lot of people who can enter the palace. Women of third rank or above or countesses can bring their ladies of the right age to the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet.
Concubine Shu Xin Ruozhi said with a smile: "Although the empress has not said it explicitly, who doesn't know that you have never liked to hold flower viewing banquets, and this is not a festival day. Nowadays, there is a lively scene in Beijing. Anyone who has a young lady of the right age under her knees
Everyone is trying their best to get a spot in the palace."
Now that His Majesty the Emperor has not chosen the draft, he has cut off his ambition of being an official and a lady, but now that the prince has grown up and new opportunities have come, he will naturally try his best.
"Eh? Your Yongding Marquis Mansion also has girls of the right age?" Wen Xiaotu asked with a smile.
Xin Ruozhi said regretfully: "It's a pity that there are no legitimate children, only a few little girls born from concubines. But I heard from my uncle that one of them has a very good appearance. If the empress and the prince don't dislike her and can reward her with a ceremonial position, that is
She is blessed with eight lifetimes of cultivation!"
This was said so humbly that Wen Xiaotu was embarrassed to refuse!
In the backyard of the East Palace, with the Crown Princess as the hostess, there are two members of the third rank Liangdi, four members of the fourth rank Liangyuan, eight members of the fifth rank Chenghui, sixteen members of the sixth rank Zhaoxun, and thirty-two members of the seventh rank Fengyi.
member.
Damn, it’s just like a little harem!
If Xin Ruozhi wants her niece to be a Liangdi, Liangyuan, Wen Xiaotu can politely refuse, but when she asks, she only wants to wait until the seventh grade to be honored, does that mean she refuses?
Wen Xiaotu could only say: "Let the prince choose."
Xin Ruozhi smiled and nodded. The queen had no objection, and the prince would certainly not reject a delicate little beauty. I can’t say that this will definitely happen, but I’m still 70 or 80 percent certain.
Jin Shu couldn't help but look envious: "The prince's younger brother is very lucky!"
Xin Ruozhi said with a smile: "As a prince, it is inevitable that he will have many wives and concubines. Our emperor is not a womanizer. When he was the prince, the backyard of the East Palace was all alone."
Wen Xiaotu slandered that he was so lonely. The late deposed queen, the late Concubine Qin Shu, and now Concubine Lin De, Lu Xiuyi, had one wife and three concubines. If this is called being alone, then would a single person have to commit suicide because of loneliness?!
"The prince is young. Indulging in women will only hurt your health." Wen Xiaotu said seriously. She also knew that it was impossible not to take concubines, but at least you should control the number of people! Don't think about using all the personnel quota.
Stuff it! Otherwise I will kill this bastard!
At this moment, Prince Jingjun, who was attending a Confucian classics class, couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
Princess Jinshu smiled and nodded: "What the Queen Mother said is true!"
Xin Ruozhi secretly thought, it seems that not too many people will enter the East Palace. Well, this girl Yanrong does have some luck. It's a pity that she is a concubine.
Jin Shu suddenly tilted his head and said: "Mother, I see that Du Xuanyan seems to be interested in the prince's younger brother!"
Wen Xiaotu: The identity of a female companion is indeed a close one.
He rubbed his eyebrows and realized that the identity of the prince was indeed very attractive.
