Fake concubine, real queen

Everyone has arrived, the emperor took the roster from Wu Dehuai, glanced at it hastily, and said, "Three are not here?"

Wu Dehuai lowered his head and lowered his eyes, bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, noon has arrived, and the three young masters have not yet arrived at the Taihe Gate, so the old servant crossed the three of them out of the roster according to His Majesty's words."

The emperor nodded slightly, and turned his eyes to the seven or eight official disciples kneeling under his Highness, scanning them one by one. When he saw He Gu, his eyes paused, and he turned to look at the queen.

As expected, Empress Chen also noticed He Gu at a glance, and the joy in her eyes couldn't even be blocked.

The emperor turned his gaze back to His Highness, this time he noticed a young man in white clothes, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "You are... Erlang of the Wang family?"

Wang Muchuan kowtowed and said, "Grassman Wang Muchuan, kowtow to Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned and said, "You are here to choose a son-in-law... did your father know?"

Wang Muchuan said: "My father doesn't know what to say to His Majesty."

The corner of He Gu's mouth twitched, thinking that even if you don't know, you can't be so upright in front of His Majesty...

Isn't this equivalent to directly telling the emperor that Mr. Wang is unwilling to let his son Princess Shang come here secretly?

As expected, the emperor frowned. He looked at Wang Muchuan, who was kneeling under his highness, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"Your failure in the spring exam this year...I have also heard Mrs. Wang mention it, but you are so young, it is very rare to be able to pass the provincial examination. You will fail once in the exam, and go back to prepare for it. After three years Again, it may not be impossible to get it."

"It's not easy for you to study now. You'll have to wait for the next spring to take the exam, but you're here to join in the fun of choosing a son-in-law. Why..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the eldest princess behind the bead curtain coughed softly. The emperor was startled when he heard it, and he stopped talking.

The Wang family's family is clean and honest, and it is absolutely impossible for Wang Muchuan to ruin his future for a little reward.

But it is precisely because of the integrity of the Wang family, since the two dynasties, no matter whether it is the royal family, the boss, or his eldest son who has been an official in the court, they are all pure ministers who are only ordered by the king, and have never been involved in those rotten people who are in the same party. thing.

This kind of Wang family is also straight-hearted. Wang Muchuan received a post from the palace asking him to run for the son-in-law. Of course, he would not be as unwilling as others, so he stopped coming.

The Wang family is indeed loyal, but they are too loyal, and they are so silly that they are cute.

As for the person who sent the post to Second Young Master Wang, he naturally wished that all the famous young talents in Beijing would be given to his daughter to choose Empress Chen.

The emperor could not help but sigh in his heart——

He Shizi, Wang Ergongzi... He intended to give these young men a chance, but who would have thought that they would come here honestly.

He Gu knelt on His Highness's ears and felt strange when he heard it. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully...but he really couldn't think of any reason.

It was also because Lord He Xiaohou had been a bachelor for two lifetimes, and had never been married, and of course he had never tasted what it was like to be a father.

Otherwise, he would have thought of it—even if His Majesty loves talents again, how can fathers in the world choose sons-in-law for their daughters like him, who would not only be unhappy when they see young talents, but even look heartbroken?

But Wang Muchuan just knelt, his face was expressionless, his eyes with too much white seemed to be full of irony, no matter how you look at it, he was unwilling, and said: "I am willing to marry the princess."

emperor:"……"

He Gu managed to hold back his laughter.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the dialogue in front of the palace finally started.

He Gu looked around, and he had already inquired before coming, most of these people were mediocre people who did not pose much threat to him.

Only the man in his thirties was not on the list that He Gu inquired about, and now he knows that he is the son of the Luohe Wei family. He looks very ordinary, and He Gu didn't pay much attention to him. .

He felt that there were only two people he needed to pay attention to——

One is Wang Muchuan, who surpasses him by more than a little in writing and learning.

There is also Lu Guining, the eldest son of Uncle Rong Yuan who is fairly good in all aspects of quality.

The first thing started was the conversation in front of the palace. He Gu and others were taken outside the gate of the palace one by one. Only those who had been summoned could enter the palace, and were interrogated by the emperor, empress and eldest princess alone.

He Gu originally thought that the so-called answering in front of the hall was nothing more than a group of people standing in a row and asking each person a couple of sentences, but he never expected it to be so solemn.

He wasn't too nervous at first, but seeing the people in front of him being led into the palace gate one by one by Eunuch Wu, he couldn't help becoming nervous.

He was ranked fourth, and the previous one happened to be Second Brother Wang.

As soon as Wang Muchuan entered, He Gu felt uneasy in his heart, and when he came out, he immediately asked him: "Second brother, what did your majesty ask?"

Wang Muchuan raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said in a cold tone, "Why should I tell you?"

He Gu: "..."

Wu Dehuai said: "He Shizi, please."

He Gu had no choice but to stare at Second Brother Wang, then turned his head and followed Wu Dehuai into the palace gate.

After only a few short steps, He Gu's palms were already drenched with sweat. He recalled in a daze that even in his previous life, he was not as nervous as he is now...

"He Shizi." The emperor said, "The Marquis of Changyang didn't want you to be a son-in-law, but you still came today. Is this your own idea?"

He Gudao: "Going back to Your Majesty is my own idea."

The emperor had no expression on his face, but the empress looked very happy when she saw him, and asked with a smile, "Why, why didn't you listen to your father and choose this son-in-law?"

He Gu's throat choked, he closed his eyes, and said in his heart, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, you've lived two lifetimes, you're just asking for a wife, it's no big deal.

These days, He consulted Zhengye, asked the nurses in He Rongyuan, and even asked Yan Dingye who was the best at dealing with women, and they all said...

Sincerity is the most touching.

Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is the jewel in the palm of His Majesty and Empress. She is the most distinguished woman in the entire Great Viet Dynasty except for the Empress.

The princess doesn't need anything, and he can't give her any material things.

Everyone said sincerity was the most important thing, and Lord He Xiaohou didn't want to say those gaudy and beautiful words.

He felt that it was enough for him to express his love for Her Highness the Eldest Princess, to let His Majesty see his sincerity, and to tell the truth, right?

Lord He Xiaohou remained silent for a long time, but the emperor and empress didn't know that he was conflicted in his heart, and was about to ask, but saw He Gu suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction. Heavy bead curtains.

"Chen... I fell in love with the princess at first sight, and I sincerely admire Your Highness. If... If I can be His Highness's husband, I will cherish Your Highness for the rest of my life, and I will not teach His Highness to suffer a little grievance."

After He Gu finished speaking, he didn't know if it was because he was too nervous, his lips were a little dry.

The bead curtain in front of the eldest princess' case was made by the Department of Internal Affairs, it is very exquisite, the situation inside the curtain cannot be seen from outside the curtain, but the people inside the curtain can clearly see the outside of the curtain.

Behind the bead curtain, the Eldest Princess kept her gaze on the kneeling young man in His Royal Highness.

The young man lowered his head, thinking that he would not be noticed by the nobles in the palace, he quietly stretched out a small light pink tongue tip, and licked his light colored lower lip.

After hearing He Gu's words, the emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "Oh? To be the princess' husband?"

He Gu was a little nervous, his small Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he kowtowed again: "Returning to Your Majesty, yes, although the one chosen in the palace is a son-in-law, but the minister came to choose a son-in-law, not to be the captain of the son-in-law, but to be the captain. Husband of Her Highness the Princess."

The emperor was silent for a moment when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at the queen, and sure enough, he couldn't hide the liking in her eyes, her admiration for He Gu was written all over her face.

This is probably because the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye.

The emperor couldn't help but sighed secretly again in his heart.

"Go ahead."

He Gu was taken aback.

Is this over?

Wu Neiguan had already stood beside him and said, "He Shizi, please."

So He Gu had no choice but to be invited out again at a loss.

As soon as he went out of the palace gate, the queen looked at the emperor and said, "I don't think there is any need to choose again. This kid is right. Except for him, the others are all here to be consorts, and none of them are here to be Yu." Yu'er's husband, only this child is sincere to Yu'er."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the eldest princess again: "Yu'er, what do you think?"

However, the emperor didn't speak to her, and the eldest princess just picked up the teacup on the table, lowered her eyes and said: "Mother, the etiquette cannot be discarded."

The queen was choked up by her, a little unhappy, and said angrily: "What are you impolite, you father and daughter, don't try to lie to me, this is a literary test, and a military test. Before choosing a son-in-law, how can you be so rude?" There are so many examination schools? This is to choose a husband for the princess, and it’s not an imperial examination, but even if you choose someone who is talented and doesn’t match you, what’s the use?”

Seeing that the queen was upset, the emperor quickly smoothed things over and said, "Forget it, Yu'er didn't want to choose this son-in-law at all. I and the queen have already promised Yu'er that if no one can pass the examination for the Inner Court this time, we will be the ones in the future." Don't mention marriage anymore, I am the Son of Heaven, once a word is said, it is hard to follow, so naturally what I say will keep my word."

The queen couldn't say no to him, so she had to cast a vicious sideways glance at him with her beautiful eyes, and still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Are you Yu'er's real father..."

The emperor watched her nose, nose, nose, and heart without changing his face, as if he hadn't heard her accusation.

Wu Dehuai came back from outside the palace, saw this scene, and only sighed in his heart, thinking to himself, the eldest princess is determined not to marry, and His Majesty intends to protect each other. Although the empress has been the mother of the country for many years, she is still innocent With a paper-like temperament, how can I ever play with the father and daughter of Your Majesty and the Eldest Princess who have 1 hearts...

Unfortunately, none of the young men outside the door know that the clan son of the Wei family in Luohe is actually a secret guard who has followed His Majesty for many years.

The person raised in the palace, he has seen blood, seen a real guy, how can his skills be matched by these teenagers in their teens and 20s...

As for the essay test...

Even the second young master Wang who has outstanding literary talents may not be able to match the cheating contestant who knew the test questions early and had the question maker personally help prepare the answers.

If no one can pass the literary test, then it's okay... But if there are a few who can pass, this person will probably have to take the military test, and severely repair those young and innocuous young masters.

At that time, either the son-in-law cannot be selected, or the selected one is also the hidden guard inserted by His Majesty.

Your Highness, dear...

I'm afraid it still won't work.
