Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Emperor Hui looked at the Duke of Ying who was kneeling to ask for his will and asked, "How old are you, Miss Li?"

"Your Majesty, my sister is nineteen this year." Duke Yingguo was a little ashamed and said, "My sister was engaged to the second son Jiang, but his father and mother died one after another. My sister was in mourning, and the second son Jiang couldn't wait and married someone else..."

"I heard that Miss Li has a close relationship with Xie Zhaozhao?"

Duke Ying didn't know what Emperor Hui meant, and now he regretted it so much that he could only nod his head resignedly: "Yes, they were indeed good friends before."

Emperor Hui took a long time to say, "The candidates for Jingchen's princess and concubine have not been decided yet. If you are interested, please hand Miss Li's portrait to the palace eunuch department for selection."

The Duke of England now feels unspeakable shame.

According to your majesty, neither the princess nor the concubine will be given to your sister!

Be a concubine?

Even a concubine?

The Duke of England returned to the palace in a daze. His wife came up to him and saw that he looked unhappy. She asked, "Your Majesty doesn't allow it?"

The Duke of Ying repeated Emperor Hui's words.

Lady Yingguo Gong gritted her teeth and said, "My Lord, please don't accuse me of being cruel. My sister's marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

She quickly sorted out the powerful people in the capital, checked all the men of marriageable age in the capital, and called on the famous ice men in the capital to select a few men of marriageable age.

The first choice is Pingyang Earl Gu Zheng. His family background is not as good as that of the Duke of Yingguo, but the relationships in the mansion are extremely simple. She was the mistress in the past and also raised Zhou Shaoyu. There are endless possibilities for her in the future.

Liu Mingdong, the third son of the second-rate aristocratic family Liu, is the brother of Zhang Yanyan's husband. He is currently a guard general of the camp outside the capital. He and Zhang Yanyan are sisters-in-law and they support each other.

There is also Prince Jing’s second grandson Zhou Lingyin, who is Li Yunmu’s childhood friend.

No matter how good Li Ranran's conditions are, the fact that she is still unengaged at the age of 19 is a fatal flaw.

Lady Yinggong said to Li Ranran, "After careful consideration by your brother and I, we selected these three candidates. We are a hundred-year-old Duke's Mansion, and our legitimate daughter would rather be a wife from a poor family than a concubine from a rich family. Sister, you must understand your brother's painstaking efforts."

Li Ranran wiped her tears and said, "Zhao Zhao is gone, I want to take care of His Highness Heng."

"But I don't need it!" Lady England said cruelly, "Sister, Miss Xie and His Highness Jingchen have a deep relationship. Now they are separated, they have no choice."

Li Ranran looked at her and her tears stopped.

"If His Highness Jingchen falls in love with someone else right away, how can you trust such a person? If he only has Miss Xie in his heart, you will only be a decoration if you marry him. After a long time, he will definitely hate you.

Your relationship with Miss Xie will be ruined, and you will be criticized by others for coveting your best friend's man. Even worse things will be spread. Sister, the most important thing in a woman's life is her reputation."

Li Ranran's tears flowed again and she said, "Then let's choose Earl of Pingyang!"

In fact, she wanted to say that she really liked Zhou Shaoyu, and she didn't care what others said...

Although Gu Zheng is an uncle, he is a concubine's son after all, so marrying Li Ranran is simply a pie in the sky.

The marriage was quickly settled.

The palace was in full swing in selecting a concubine. Zhou Shaoyu stayed at Qingpu Garden to recuperate and raise his children. He neither attended court nor went out.

Choosing a concubine?

What do you want me to do?

Hua Zisheng was the chief eunuch. After two rounds of preliminary selection, he shortlisted the candidates, sorted them out, and took Xiu Ning with him to Qingpu Garden.

When he left the palace, he said to Emperor Hui: "Your Majesty has done good things, but it is Your Highness who has to live. The list of selections must be reviewed by Your Highness personally."

Emperor Hui didn't care and sent these women to Qingpu Garden as soon as possible. After all, women, once you cling to them, you can't let go.

As long as there is a woman who makes Jingchen break his vow, Jingchen will get over it and forget about Xie soon.

Xiu Ning followed Hua Zisheng, and the two of them quietly came to Qingpu Garden.

On the way, Hua Zisheng whispered to him, "When you are in front of His Highness, don't show off your words. Choosing a concubine? What the hell! His Highness only has Miss Xie in his heart."

Xiu Ning was shocked and asked quietly, "What about His Majesty?"

"Just drag it!"

The master and disciple arrived at Qingpu Garden, explained their purpose, and Nanxing welcomed them in.

Zhou Shaoyu was holding Zhou Qiheng and reading.

Hanako Katsu wanted to laugh but couldn't. A baby who was less than two months old was already being taught state policies?

Zhou Shaoyu asked him to sit down, handed the child to Aunt Chai and asked with a smile: "What do you want, Chief Hua?"

Hua Zisheng smiled and said, "The list of candidates has been compiled. We see that they are all noble ladies, so I want to tell Your Highness: these women are here for Your Highness. Once they are selected, His Majesty will issue an imperial decree, and whether Your Highness accepts them or not, they will be considered Your Highness's people. Even if you don't touch them, when the princess comes back in the future, she will definitely be upset when she sees these people!"

Xiu Ning listened from the side without even raising his eyelids, thinking: Master, is this how you gave His Highness the selection list?

"Everything else is fine, except that the candidate for the princess is Concubine Jing's niece." Hanako Sheng reminded.

"What Hua Zongguan said is true. I'll take a look at the list and go to the palace to express my gratitude in two days."

Zhou Shaoyu's words gave Hua Zisheng peace of mind.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Hui asked how it went and whether Jingchen liked those noble ladies.

Hanako Katsu said, "His Highness likes it very much. He will go to court in the next few days to express his gratitude in person."

Emperor Hui snorted coldly. What man doesn't like beautiful women?

Even if you are not tempted by beauty, as long as the marriage is granted by imperial decree and the queen and concubine are listed in the imperial book, they are yours.

The next day, Nanxing and Dongyue carried Zhou Shaoyu to the court.

Emperor Hui was discussing with his officials the escape of the Xie family.

"Have you found the Xie family?" Emperor Hui asked.

Leng Luo reported: "The people from the Imperial City Department have already found out that someone saw a large number of carriages heading east overnight that night."

"Check quickly!" Emperor Hui suddenly thought of Xie Zhaozhao's sea route and his eyelids twitched.

Oh no, could the Xie family have escaped by boat?

"Xuan'an Nanbo." He said that he must immediately ask Li Yunmu about the sea ship.

Leng Luo wanted to say that An Nanbo had run away with the Xie family, but——

"Yes, I will send someone to invite him right away."

Zhou Shaoyu saw Leng Luo go to invite Li Yunmu, and took advantage of this opportunity to have someone help him kneel on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace in helping me choose so many young ladies as my successors."

Why does the word "remarry" sound so harsh?

However, this did not prevent the fathers and brothers of those young ladies from showing proud smiles in the court.

However, Zhou Shaoyu changed the subject and said, “Your Majesty has chosen such a good candidate for me, and I checked the women on the list as soon as I was happy.

This investigation is outrageous! Their family actually abused their power for personal gain, violated the law, sold official positions, embezzled treasury funds, and bullied the villagers... According to the law, their property should be confiscated and their entire family should be exterminated!"

He presented all the evidence one by one, including the principal wife, concubines, and noble concubines, one by one, with both human and material evidence.

According to the law, he should be beheaded!!

The "Princess's" younger cousin - Crown Prince Zhou Qi, and the "concubine's" father and brother were struck by lightning.

Too bad!

Emperor Hui's face darkened, but the old man who served as the Dali Temple Minister stood up and said respectfully: "Your Highness gave these evidences to me, and I have asked people to verify them. All the crimes are true."

It's over. The crime has spread and too many people know about it. If we don't punish severely, it won't be enough to appease the public anger!

Concubine Jing finally waited until her son was named Crown Prince, but she immediately sent her entire family to the guillotine and even broke her fingernails.

"Qi'er, after you ascend the throne, the first thing you should do is to execute Zhou Jingchen by slow slicing!"

"But, but Erchen is so scared of him!"
