Sooner or later, the matter of choosing a concubine cannot be avoided. Instead of choosing a group of ugly and disgusting women, it is better to choose one that is pleasing to the eye. What's more, Jiang Qingxue and he had already done everything they could as husband and wife in their dreams. As long as they thought about it, She would marry someone else and be in love with another man, and he would be filled with irritation.

As for the matter of giving birth to an heir, leave it to other women, be it General Zhao's sister or the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace. Whoever can give birth to the prince first will be the master of the middle palace in the future.

As for doting, he never indulged in the love between men and women, and he also hated dealing with those vain and submissive women in the harem. If there was anyone who caused trouble, he would just drag him out and chop him down.

……

After the New Year, it will soon be the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Before Jiang Jing went to the Imperial College, Jiang Qingxue begged him to take her to the flower market. Jiang Jing looked at the increasingly bright and charming face in front of her and refused without thinking.

"Sister, you can't go out, your face is too arrogant."

Jiang Qingxue took his arm and shook it.

"Then I'll just put on a veil so that no one can see me."

If he didn't go out, how could he let Pei Yuhuai see him? Maybe Pei Yuhuai has forgotten her. With such a good opportunity, he would give it a try no matter what.

Jiang Jing shook her head firmly.

"No, don't think about it."

Jiang Qingxue looked at him pitifully.

"Brother, when I grow up, I have never visited the flower market, nor have I bought a lantern. My biggest wish in this life is to go to the flower market with my brother and buy a beautiful lantern to hang in the house. Please Please, okay?"

Jiang Jing felt a little soft-hearted, so she asked Qinghao to get a face towel, covered her tightly, and brought a few more boys with her, and then took her and Qinghao out.

Because there were too many people, the carriage stopped far away. Jiang Jing helped Jiang Qingxue get out of the car and kept her firmly by his side. She was still worried, so she thought about it and warned her.

"Sister, hold my sleeve so I don't get lost."

If she had been two years younger, he would have held her hand tightly. Although she was covered with a veil, many young men still cast fiery glances at her from time to time. Jiang Qingxue didn't care, but Jiang Jing was too busy to glare at them.

Jiang Qingxue held his sleeve obediently, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

"I know."

Jiang Jing directly pulled her into a shop and carefully lit up the lanterns. Jiang Qingxue was a little absent-minded. Xuande Building was in front of her. I wonder if Pei Yuhuai would appear there today? Xuande Tower is so high, can he see himself?

"Look, His Majesty is out."

Someone in the crowd outside shouted, and the people in the market instantly became commotion. Jiang Qingxue heard the movement and pulled Jiang Jing's sleeve.

"Brother, shall we go out and take a look too?"

Jiang Jing frowned and whispered.

"What's there to see? Didn't you see enough last time?"

Jiang Qingxue lowered her head glumly and stopped talking. Jiang Jing knew she had said the wrong thing, so she grabbed her wrist and walked outside.

The market was crowded with people. On the three-story Xuande Tower, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, Pei Yuhuai solemnly waved his hand like a leader inspecting work. Immediately afterwards, the eunuch next to him read a bunch of words again. The crowd was so noisy that Jiang Qingxue could not hear a word clearly.

Jiang Jing held Jiang Qingxue tightly. She could only watch from a distance and couldn't get close to him. Well, today was in vain. She took one last disappointed look.

The two of them were about to go home when they were blocked by someone.

"Brother Jiang, is it really you?"

"Brother Jiang is so elegant. Why don't you take your sweetheart to enjoy the lanterns?"

Among the three young men with playful smiles, one of them was Fatty Pan, who kept saying that he wanted to propose marriage that day. His narrow eyes looked at Jiang Qingxue unscrupulously, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that he had seen her before.

Jiang Jing's face darkened and she pulled Jiang Qingxue behind her.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is my sister."

Fatty Pan suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized.

"She is your sister? No wonder? Miss Jiang, don't you remember me? We talked last time on the eldest princess's birthday..."

Jiang Jing picked up Jiang Qingxue and left.

"let's go."

Fatty Pan was still shouting excitedly from behind.

"Miss Jiang, wait until I come to propose marriage..."

A few days later, people from the Pan family really came to the door. When Jiang Jing found out, she was very angry and kicked Mrs. Pan and the matchmaker out without giving the Pan family any face.

……

Mrs. Pan was humiliated and was unwilling to accept the insult. She spoke ill of Jiang Qingxue everywhere. Within a few days, the matter spread throughout the capital. Pei Yuhuai had many eyes and ears in the capital, so he naturally heard the news.

He couldn't help but sneer. The Pan family's youngest son was a romantic by nature and had more than ten concubines before he even got married. Is such a person worthy of going to the Jiang family to propose marriage?

"Eunuch Yin, the draft is ahead of schedule!"

The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard that the draft was going to be brought forward. Her son was finally enlightened and her grandson was just around the corner.

Pei Yuhuai went to the Queen Mother's Palace as soon as he went to court. The nun beside the Queen Mother handed over a thick stack of lists and portraits. Pei Yuhuai read them one by one. The more he looked at the back, the more intense his frown became.

"Queen mother, is that all?"

The Queen Mother was a little confused, isn't it enough? That’s fifty-six people.

"You can't see anything in this portrait? You'd better see it in person."

Pei Yuhuai held the list and album in his hands and sneered.

"Just listen to your mother."

After he returned to the imperial study, he sent someone to tell Jiang Jueming to enter the palace. Jiang Jueming thought that the eldest princess had entered the palace again to complain. As soon as he entered the imperial study, he knelt down in fear.

"The humble minister is guilty, please punish him."

Pei Yuhuai helped him up and gave him a seat.

"Don't panic, Jiang Aiqing, I just have something to ask you."

Jiang Jueming became even more frightened when he saw this.

"I wonder why your Majesty summoned his ministers to the palace?"

Pei Yuhuai threw the list of show girls in front of him and asked.

"Jiang Aiqing, do you know about the royal draft? I remember that there are girls of the same age in your family, but why are they not included in the list? Aiqing, this is disobedience!"

Jiang Jueming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Back to Your Majesty, the eldest daughters of the second and third families of the Jiang family have reached the age of fifteen, and both of them have been recorded. The remaining girls have not yet grown up, so they have not been reported. I hope Your Majesty will tell you clearly!"

Pei Yuhuai stared at him with evil eyes.

"Daughter? When did I stipulate that only direct daughters can enter the palace?"

Jiang Jueming was confused for a moment. What does your Majesty mean? Could it be possible for a concubine? Or does the eldest princess have another conspiracy? Deliberately targeting Qingxue?

"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. There is indeed a concubine in the head of the Jiang Mansion. It's just that the child was born vulgar and has a dull and boring temperament. We are afraid that His Majesty won't like it, so we didn't report it."

Pei Yuhuai slapped the table and said angrily.

"Whether it's vulgar or dull, it must be recorded according to the rules. As for whether you like it or not, that's not your business to worry about!"

Jiang Jueming was so shocked that he sweated like raindrops and kept saying yes.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Pei Yuhuai waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Well, let's go back!"

When Jiang Jueming returned to Jiang Mansion, he had not recovered yet. He went to Chunhua Pavilion with a livid face. Pei Chunhua, a vicious slut, still didn't know how to go back on her words and was still framing Qingxue?

"Pei Chunhua, come out!"

"Tell me clearly, why do you want to harm Qingxue?"

Pei Chunhua had been quiet for the past two days, but when he heard his voice, he became excited again.

"Jiang Jueming, aren't you dead? Why did you come to Chunhua Pavilion?"
