De'an felt that Prince Jing seemed to have some prejudice against the emperor, and the emperor was accustomed to expressing concern in a scolding tone.
These two people are obviously father and son, but they act extremely unfamiliar. It's just that Prince Jing is so calm today, which makes De'an a little strange.
If things were different in the past, if Prince Jing was impatient, he would have resigned and left long ago.
Seeing that Prince Jing had turned into a saw-mouthed gourd this time, the emperor's face brightened slightly and he changed the subject.
"I told you before that I would choose a concubine with you. I have given you the list. Do you have anyone you like?"
In fact, this kind of thing originally only required the emperor to propose marriage. Who in the Dayan Dynasty would dare to object?
But the emperor decided to let Prince Jing choose by himself. When he said it at that time, the ministers' jaws were really shocked.
Prince Jing is the only one who can be selected by the prince himself.
"My son, I came here this time to report this matter to my father. It is up to my father to make the final decision on this matter!"
Prince Jing's pale lips pursed tightly, as if he didn't care about this matter.
This casual attitude made the emperor so angry that he swept aside the papers on the table and said, "De'an! Bring over the list."
"Yes!" De'an silently sighed for Prince Jing and turned around to get the list.
At this moment, the emperor pointed to the armchair beside him and motioned for Prince Jing to sit down.
Prince Jing was also polite, "Thank you very much, Father!"
The emperor carefully observed Prince Jing's expression, his sharp eyes seeming to scan every movement of Prince Jing. After a long while, he looked away.
Prince Jing's heart trembled, but his face remained calm.
"There are so many girls from aristocratic families in the capital, and you haven't chosen any of them?" The emperor took the list handed over by De'an and read it carefully.
"How do I know the character of those women? Besides, most of those aristocratic families are unwilling. In this case, it is better to ask my father to name one at will. To me, there is no difference."
Prince Jing looked a little lonely and lifeless.
De'an felt some sympathy for Prince Jing, who had been carrying fetal poison since he was born, and had never been in good health since he was a child.
She has long passed the title of weakling, but she has not even married a main concubine, let alone a side concubine. Whose daughter in the capital is willing to marry Prince Jing?
The imperial doctor had long said that Prince Jing would not live long. And if he married Prince Jing, he might not even be able to have any children. Who knows whether the poison would be passed on to his children?
Under such circumstances, it would be really surprising if any girl was willing.
After all, if Prince Jing had left early, but the remaining princess had not given birth to a son and a half, she would have nothing to rely on for the rest of her life!
"You choose the main concubine this time, and I will also choose the two side concubines for you. You have passed the weak crown, and it is time to return to the fiefdom."
The emperor looked up from the list and glanced at Prince Jing.
Prince Jing's heart suddenly tightened. It turned out that his father's intention in choosing a concubine for him was to drive him back to his fiefdom as soon as possible.
She had already reached the age of choosing a concubine, but her father didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
Now that he wants to drive him back to his fiefdom, he is anxious to choose a concubine for himself.
"Cough! Cough!"
Prince Jing coughed twice and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but the corners of his covered mouth curved into a mocking arc.
No wonder he thought before that his father was suddenly so impatient! It turned out to be to establish a heir apparent.
If a prince is established, he will be an eyesore in the capital.
Wouldn't it be better to move him far away so that the future prince can be at peace?
Prince Jing felt a sense of sadness in his heart. What was his existence?
He is also a son. He does not expect his father to be as loving as his elder brother, but he must give him even a trace of tolerance at least? Why should he treat him like this?
As the son of an emperor, he should be respected and respected, but with his father's attitude towards him, who in the capital can think highly of him?
At this moment, Prince Jing tightly held the handkerchief in his hand, trying not to let the resentment in his heart come out. He had to endure it.
After enduring it for so many years, why can’t I continue to endure it?
Looking up again, Prince Jing's eyes were clear.
"Just follow your father!"
"Then you look at the list again. If you can't choose, then I will make the decision for you." The emperor looked at him slightly and handed the list to Prince Jing.
The emperor turned the white jade ring on his thumb and watched De'an walk towards the fourth child.
He raised his eyebrows, originally thinking that the fourth child would refuse, but unexpectedly, the fourth child did not object again this time.
The emperor became suspicious again. Could it be that the fourth child already had a candidate in mind and what he said just now was just to test himself?
Prince Jing took the list from De'an's hand without looking at it carefully. He raised his pen and scribbled on the paper, "Just these three people!"
This casual attitude was like picking cabbage, which made the emperor very angry, but it was undeniable that he felt relieved at the same time.
Such contradictory feelings truly existed in the emperor's heart.
"This is to select a concubine for you. Your attitude is so perfunctory. Are you dissatisfied with me?" The emperor asked, pointing to Prince Jing.
"Give it to him again and let him choose carefully." The emperor pointed at De'an and shouted angrily.
Dean took the list and looked at the two of them pitifully, really in a dilemma.
Prince Jing was obviously angry with the emperor! But the quarrel between father and son only affected him, a fish in the pond.
Who did he provoke? De'an also wanted to cry without tears.
"No need! Just these three people! What difference does it make to me who they are? I don't know their natures, so it doesn't matter who they choose? Moreover, their father has proposed marriage, how dare they disobey?"
Prince Jing slowed down his tone, but his voice was extremely cold.
"Okay! If that's the case, then don't regret it, just bring it!" The emperor sighed and sat down.
Dean breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed the list to the emperor.
The emperor took a look at the list and found that the first person was the eldest daughter of Zhenguo Palace, Yao Mengxian.
This list is arranged according to the rank of the aristocratic family, and the legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo Palace will naturally be ranked higher.
The emperor's sharp gaze glanced at Prince Jing again. Did he check at random? Can he check at random to select the legitimate daughter of the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace?
Seeing that Prince Jing was still neither arrogant nor impetuous, his attitude was still slightly impatient.
The emperor remained calm and continued to read.
The second one is Liang Tongying, the second daughter-in-law of the Anhe Hou Mansion. Her father is Liang Shaoxun, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, who has a low official position.
His legitimate daughter can only be a concubine at best, but in fact, even being a concubine is quite embarrassing.
However, Liang Shaoxun and the previous Liang Zhirui were related by clan, and the eldest daughter of Zhenguo Palace was Liang Zhirui's granddaughter.
The emperor's thoughts turned over and over again, and he was filled with doubts.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to read. The last candidate turned out to be from the Duke Zhenguo's mansion, and she was the second wife's legitimate daughter, Yao Menglian.
At this time, the emperor felt that the fourth child was really chosen at random. The sisters served the same husband. It would not sound good after all.
Moreover, one of them can be elected as the concubine, while the other can only be used as a concubine at best. This is too ugly. 11
