The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

As soon as Yang Shaojun who was sitting below heard that the emperor and the empress were discussing the matter of marrying him, his face immediately turned pale. , the child is still young and does not want to marry a wife〇,

This excuse is pale and not convincing at all.

"You child, don't be embarrassed. Marrying a wife and having children is an inevitable thing in life. Your elder brothers have already married wives at your age." The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled. It was the child who was embarrassed and said, "Today, while the wives and ladies from all the prefectures are here, the queen mother and your father will choose a good girl for you. With your nature, you just need someone to take care of you."

The emperor nodded with a smile on his face, agreeing with what the queen said, "This child, if someone takes care of him, maybe his temper will calm down. Don't just focus on playing all day long, it's time to learn about government affairs."

"Your Majesty, you are right." The Empress smiled from ear to ear. The other meaning of the Emperor's words was to let the sixth prince enter the court to listen to the government and learn the meaning of government affairs.The sixth prince was raised under her knees. Although she was slightly partial to her own son, she was not bad to the sixth prince who was raised next to her.

What kind of character this child is, the queen naturally understands in her heart, but fortunately, she has not wasted all these years of thinking, otherwise she would regret it if she raised a strong enemy for her son.When the sixth prince enters the court, he will be able to help the prince, which is what the queen has always wanted.

"No..." Yang Shaojun still wanted to protest aloud, he subconsciously looked at his prince brother, wanting him to come forward to help him.

Yang Shaomu shook his head slightly. He knew what the sixth brother was thinking, so he moved his mouth and silently said two "not good".

It's just that among the princes in the royal family, which one can be in charge of their own marriage?Today is at the palace banquet, and all the ministers of the court are here. It is not good for me to refute the face of my father and his mother at this time.

Whether they like this marriage or not, they must accept their fate.

This wife will be married sooner or later. Since the father and the queen have mentioned it, it is better to follow their arrangement. The official wives of these princes are all selected from the daughters in the capital, and they will not be unsuitable. As for the choice Who came out depends on the meaning of the father and his mother.

The sixth prince understood the prince's lips, his mind went blank, he stood there not knowing how to react.

The eldest prince and the third prince were sitting there watching the play. Naturally, they didn't want the emperor to treat Xiao Liu's family too well. Rather than saying that the emperor is marrying Xiao Liu today, it is better to say that the queen is helping the prince choose a powerful helper. .But these elder brothers have no right to intervene in this matter, they can only sit here and see what their father wants, and who will be chosen in the end.

The fourth prince held on to the wine glass, lowered his eyelids, and suppressed the flash of light in his eyes.

Concubine Dong Gui was also so angry that she was dying, but it was a pity that her own son was too young to get married.

She doesn't know if the emperor can live until her little Qi is an adult. Looking at the current situation of the emperor, I'm afraid it will be very difficult... If the prince or the eldest prince and the third prince sit on the dragon chair in the future, who will tolerate it? Can she bear her son? This made Concubine Dong feel flustered.

"Which girl will the emperor point out to the sixth prince?"

"Which girl does the queen have a crush on?"

"Didn't your empress praise the thirteenth lady of your family for being good-looking? She even gave your thirteenth lady a bracelet. I think your thirteenth lady has a better chance of being selected by the queen..."

"Hey, the emperor and the empress didn't say anything about it, we can't talk nonsense."

As soon as they heard that the emperor and the empress were going to propose marriage to the sixth prince, there was a burst of low voices from the female family members below, discussing which girl the empress had taken a fancy to.There are not many families in the capital who are worthy of being the sixth prince's concubine, and the most likely ones will be chosen from which one.

Among the princes now, apart from the young Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the First Prince have already been married, leaving only the Sixth Prince who has not yet married a wife. This one will be the Concubine!

Which of their girls is still favored by the emperor and empress, if they can marry their daughters to the sixth prince as concubines, they will immediately become relatives of the emperor, so can this not make everyone's heart beat?Although the birth mother of the sixth prince was of humble status, the sixth prince was raised under the empress' knees since he was a child, and he and the prince are brothers and sisters. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, the sixth prince will definitely not be so bad if he follows the prince.

"Your Majesty, my concubine met several wives and girls earlier. The concubine thinks that the thirteenth lady of Pingyuan Hou's mansion, and the eighth lady, the granddaughter of Mr. Zhangge...these girls are dignified, beautiful and intelligent, and my concubine Look at how many girls are very

For the sake of liking, it's not bad to ration a gentleman, what do you think, Your Majesty? "The girls selected by the Queen are either Miss Hou Fu, or the granddaughter of Mr. Ge, or the girls of Shangshu, and all of them are ministers with real power in their hands.

In terms of status, the girls from these families are well-matched to the sixth prince, and there is nothing to discuss about them.

In the early years of the prince's marriage, Emperor Zhaozong did not choose the prince's concubine according to the queen's wishes, and did not choose a powerful Yue family for the prince, but only pointed out Zhong Yuanhou's daughter-in-law to the prince.In terms of identity, Zhongyuanhou's daughter-in-law is a good match for the prince, but the foundation of Zhongyuanhou's mansion is too weak. The old Zhongyuanhou saved the life of the late emperor three times, so he was granted the title. Marquis.

Today's Zhongyuanhou inherited the title from the dead old Zhongyuanhou. Zhongyuanhou was not a talented person, he was idle, and he didn't have much power in his hands. The daughter of the Hou Mansion pointed out the reason for giving the prince a concubine.The emperor didn't like his sons staring at the stool under his butt all the time, so how could he find a powerful Yue family for the prince?

Therefore, the queen is extremely unhappy about the prince's marriage. What she wants is to find a powerful Yue family for her son, who will help her son sit on the dragon chair in the future, not a loyal marquis with little real power. government.It's just that the emperor personally ordered the marriage, even she, the queen, couldn't change it, so the queen didn't like the crown princess very much.This kind of change was only when the crown princess gave birth to a son for the crown prince, and the queen's attitude towards the crown princess changed slightly.

And now it's the sixth prince's turn to marry, the queen naturally wants to tell the sixth prince a good marriage, these people are helpful to her son, and can help her son sit on the throne of God firmly in the future , ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

It's not hard to understand the Queen's mind, and so is Emperor Zhaozong.

After a little thought, the emperor made up his mind, "I see that Mrs. Zhang Ge's granddaughter Ba Niangzi is not bad, and she and Xiao Liu are both talented and beautiful, so then choose Mrs. Zhang Ge's granddaughter, Ba Niangzi, and point him to Xiao Liu as his wife. "

Zhang Ge always has a stubborn personality. He is one of the veterans who are loyal to him as the emperor, and he has no position. Sitting in this chair, none of this is possible.

It's just that the emperor also has his own selfish intentions for pointing out Zhang Ge's granddaughter to the sixth prince.If the prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, the sixth prince has other intentions. It is impossible for the Zhang family to support the sixth prince and help the sixth prince deal with the prince.Until this moment, the emperor really faced the fact that his son would inherit his throne one day, and he had to accept it.

The queen was overjoyed when she heard that the emperor had chosen the girl. She did not expect that the emperor would choose among the families she mentioned, and even the granddaughter of Mr. Zhang Ge. Proficient in everything, she is a well-known talented woman in this capital, your majesty has a good vision... Your majesty chose the eighth lady of the Zhang family, and the concubines still feel that Jun'er is not good enough for the eighth lady."

Those who were also surprised were the people sitting at Zhang's house below.

Mrs. Zhang did not expect that the emperor directly ordered her daughter. The eighth lady was sitting next to her mother. When she heard the emperor pointed her out to the sixth prince as his wife, the people at the same table congratulated her. How many congratulated her sincerely, but the little girl still blushed in embarrassment.

It's just that the sixth prince, Yang Shaojun, heard the emperor pointing to his wife, and stood there without moving.

"Sixth brother, father and mother chose such a good princess for you, why don't you thank father and mother soon." Yang Shaomu sighed in his heart when he saw the appearance of the sixth brother.He gave the sixth prince a look, why don't you hurry up and get the order?

The sixth prince stood there without moving.

Seeing that his son hadn't responded for so long, the smile on the emperor's face gradually disappeared, and the empress stared at the sixth prince below. The meaning in her eyes was, don't come to thank you soon?

Facing the expression on his father's face and seeing the look in his eyes from the queen, Yang Shaojun's body shook, realizing his own identity, and the glory and wealth that this identity brought him, the one above him was not someone he could disobey.This thought flashed in his mind, and Yang Shaojun hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and thanked him, "I accept the decree,... I thank my father and queen. I was so happy just now, I didn't realize it for a while. I also ask Father and Empress to forgive me."

He is the prince, and some things are not something he can decide on his own. Only then did Yang Shaojun understand the patience of his prince brother.

Zhang Yueying, the eighth lady of the Zhang family, came out from the side of the female relatives, held up the hem of her skirt, walked slowly in small steps, climbed up the stairs from below, knelt beside the sixth prince, and thanked the emperor and queen.The queen exited the round field and said, "Your Majesty, look, these two children are a perfect match."

"Okay, get up." The emperor's face softened, and he said a few more words before letting the two children go down.

Among the few children, the sixth son is the least valued by him. Now that the sixth son has grown up so much when he didn't pay attention, he has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children. He pointed out a good marriage for the sixth son. Zhaozong The emperor also had something on his mind.

The sixth prince lowered his head, walked back to his seat and sat down.

The people next to him all raised wine to toast him, Yang Shaojun held the wine, thanked the congratulations from the side, and drank glass by glass, the princes seemed to be in harmony on the surface.

Sitting below and watching Li Wen, even an outsider like him could feel the sixth prince's resistance to this marriage. His eyes fell on the smiling queen's face, and he quickly moved away.This is to forcefully tie two young people who are not in love with each other. No wonder the sixth prince is happy.

However, in this day and age, marriage is originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, so the emperor and the empress pointed out a marriage of the same family to the prince, which itself is not worth discussing.While the princes and princesses are enjoying the wealth and honor they were born with, they bear the fate they cannot control themselves.

"Hey..." Li Wen sighed in his heart.

At this time, Li Wen thought that he was watching others being manipulated by fate, and there was too much helplessness in life.Little did he know that he himself had fallen into the eyes of others, and others wanted to draw him into the game.
