Under normal circumstances, Emperor Qiwen never stopped or interfered with whatever the Ninth Prince wanted to do.
But this time, Emperor Qiwen insisted that there should be a procedure for selecting a concubine. In fact, everyone knew very well that the Emperor wanted the Ninth Prince to get married, which made it known throughout the country.
No matter what, the rumors outside are always prevalent, even if no one wants to believe that the extremely beautiful Ninth Prince would fall in love with an old and lustful imperial sister-in-law. But
, the matter of the emperor's sister-in-law following the Ninth Prince was said to be quite decent and completely true.
In order to block Yuyou's mouth, the only way is to choose a concubine.
The selection of the concubine not only eased everyone's suspicions a little, but also made the queen give up her intention. In addition, the ninth prince is indeed not young, so a wedding is a matter of course. 1
If you can achieve three things, why not do it?"
Men in the royal family usually get married when they are over twenty. Ah Jiu, so many older princes in our Zhan family are unwilling to get married. Maybe it is because of the trend you brought. Tell me, do you also have the responsibility to get married?
Take responsibility?" replied
When they arrived at Ningxi Palace, where there were only mother and son, Empress Dowager Ning became a little less reserved and a little more calm."
You see, although the Holy Spirit didn't say anything just now, there are complaints in his heart. After all, he is a man. "Ning
Zhan Qingcheng didn't know whether he heard what the Queen Mother said. He had been sitting on the chair since he came back, and the expression on his face had not changed. No.
, it should be said that there is no expression at all.
Queen Mother Ning is really helpless. This son has always been like this. It is absolutely impossible to make him obedient.
Apart from persuading, I can still only advise.
"Ajiu, choosing a concubine is just a process for the world to see. Even if there is such a process, in the end the real power of choice still falls in your hands."
It's just that you may be asked to make a selection for a few days in the middle. Just treat it like watching a show and sit and watch the girls perform. When the time comes, you can choose whoever you like, okay?"
He still didn't respond. Queen Mother Ning continued: "If you don't like them, we won't choose them. We will recruit another group of girls and keep choosing them until you like them. Do you agree?"
There was still no reaction at all. Queen Mother Ning felt anxious and couldn't catch her breath, so she coughed violently several times.
Zhan Qingcheng held her wrist, and a burst of true energy came in, and the Queen Mother's cough eased slightly.
"Mother, have you been feeling unwell lately? Have you seen the imperial doctor to check your pulse?" he asked with a frown. "
Yes, at the beginning and middle of every month, the imperial doctor will come and check Ping An’s pulse.”
Queen Mother Ning nodded, knowing that her son still cared about her, and she felt indescribably warm in her heart.
She said softly: "My mother is old and has poor health. Checking the doctor and taking the pulse is just a temporary solution, not the root cause. What else can I do now that I am old?"
The queen mother is only over fifty, how old is she?" Seeing that her complexion softened, Zhan Qingcheng put down her wrist."
The Queen Mother is always getting old, and I don’t know how long she can look after you." Queen Mother Ning looked at the handsome and handsome son in front of her, and there was a sudden sadness in the corners of her eyes.
"The queen also wants to see you get married and have children, and see your children and grandchildren in your house." She sighed lightly, feeling a little regretful.
"Look at me, I have been married for so long. You and I are similar in age. How come you are still alone now?"
"If your mother...is gone, who will take care of you in the future?" she said.
As I spoke, my heart felt sour, and I felt the urge to cry. Zhan
In Qingcheng's life, there were not many people who admired her, and not many who were willing to pity her. However, she had always been very kind to Empress Dowager Ning.
Before Feng Jiuer, Queen Mother Ning was the only woman he was willing to pity. After all, it was she who raised him and has always loved and protected him over the years. Look.
Seeing the empress mother's expression on the verge of tears, Zhan Qingcheng finally relented: "If the empress mother is willing to take care of it, I will accept the order."
"Yes! How could the Queen Mother not be willing?" Ning
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately became energetic. This stubborn son was finally willing to listen to her and finally wanted to get married!"
Ah Jiu, don’t worry, your mother will definitely watch your marriage from beginning to end, and she will never wrong you.”
Just tell me what kind of woman Ah Jiu likes. Queen Mother will definitely let people look for her carefully and she will definitely satisfy Ah Jiu." Ning
As soon as the Queen Mother was in a good mood, her face even looked better. However, I don't know if it was because she was too excited. Not long after, she started coughing again.
Zhan Qingcheng looked a little distressed, "Here comes the imperial doctor!"
"No! No need. Mother is too happy. She will be fine in a while. She will be fine in a minute. Ahem..."
The little palace maid came over shyly, stood next to Queen Mother Ning, and kept patting her gently on the back.
Qingcheng frowned, with a trace of displeasure: "Usually the Queen Mother keeps coughing? Why not let the imperial doctor see her and prescribe medicine?"
The little palace maid was given a cold look by him, and her spine suddenly ran cold, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
Although he is really handsome and good-looking, he is only suitable for secret appreciation. If you are looked at by his eyes, you will be scared to death!
"What does it have to do with Lian'er? It's because Aijia doesn't like the taste of that medicine. As long as Aijia devotes herself to believing in Buddhism, her mind will be calm and her body will get better." Ning
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him and said with a trace of reproach: "Look, you scared Lian'er to this point, why can't you be gentle to the little girl?"
This son is really good-looking, but he is too cold, even his gaze is extremely cold.
Ordinary people really can't stand such a cold weather.
Qingcheng said nothing. No one had ever taught him what gentleness was. More
What's more, she didn't do anything to this Lian'er. Her inability to withstand the pressure was a problem of her own ability.
"If nothing else, the Queen Mother will prepare it for you immediately."
I have a condition." Zhan Qingcheng's face was expressionless. There are some things that he will not give in easily: "The selection of concubines is not based on background and background. Any woman can participate as long as she is of the right age."
"I need girls who know martial arts, and I don't want girls who are weak or sick. The selection of concubines is mainly based on martial arts examinations. In the end, I personally select them."
Martial arts test?" Empress Dowager Ning was frightened. How could a prince select a concubine only for the martial arts test? Then do you want to choose someone who is rich and powerful? More
What's more, it's not allowed to talk about one's background. Wouldn't it mean that even ordinary girls' families can participate?
This... if someone with a bad background is chosen, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the Ninth Prince?
My son never cared about these things, but as a mother, how could she not care? But
, Zhan Qingcheng’s attitude was very determined this time.
"My son should choose the girl he likes, not the girl his mother or anyone in the royal family likes."
