"You're right. If he dares to use this matter to accuse you of blackmailing me? What will I let him know? Call him the Son of Heaven? Promise the emperor, and the majesty of the emperor cannot be desecrated!"

Cen Zhu saw that just now she was like a lost animal, but in a blink of an eye she became a fierce eagle ready to go.He secretly thought that the power of the sky is unpredictable!

However, Her Majesty the Empress seemed not at ease, "It's a blessing today. I found a crack on the bamboo tube. After questioning, Xiao Huangmen admitted that he had fallen in front of the palace. If I hadn't Find out, what will happen? What does it look like. It is always a hidden danger that this matter is buried there." After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Cen Zhu's face lightly and flickeringly.

"..."

Cen Zhu immediately noticed that something was wrong with her eyes, she looked a little guilty and seemed to be acting on purpose.She was half sure in her heart? She was very happy, but she was a little reserved just to maintain her demeanor.

"What do you want?"

Sure enough, Her Majesty the Empress sighed faintly, leaned against her belly, and raised her face halfway: "I? Wouldn't it be too pitiful if you couldn't even protect your beloved woman with the power in your hands?"

The numbness on Cen Zhu's lower abdomen traveled all the way from the spinal cord to the back of his head, and he didn't feel sorry for her at all. Instead, he felt that after her power swelled, her selfish desires also swelled along with it.

You despise her in your heart, don't you just want to hug her left and right, and at the same time sit on the mountains and beauties?Why are you pretending? A look of calmness, forced by the situation.

But in the end he didn't dare to say it out, only dared to whisper:

"But I remember you didn't say that our affairs should be simmered on a low fire first, and then cooked on a high fire? Why are you not afraid of the fryer now?"

"At this time and then at that time, cook the raw rice first, so that others can't say anything." Her Majesty always had a reason.

Anyway, Cen Zhu figured it out, when it comes to treachery, cunning and decisiveness, he is far from her opponent.

This self-directed, self-acted and self-sensational drama is quite amusing for myself.

"So, you summoned me into the palace early in the morning, just for this matter? Since you already have a plan in your heart, why bother, why don't you just issue an order? Wouldn't raw rice be cooked like that? faster?"

Her Majesty did not shy away from saying, "After all, marriage is a matter between two people, and I? I have to consider your opinion."

The word "also" is used very expressively.How dare Cen Zhu have any opinions?People who have opinions are just "considering", whether to accept it or not depends entirely on the person himself.

Well, if you go to the palace early in the morning, you will become the quasi-husband in a daze.Is this good luck or misfortune?

When Cen Zhu returned home, Chuan Feiyan greeted her curiously, and caught a glimpse of her tense face, with an ominous premonition, "What's wrong? Did something happen when His Majesty called you into the palace urgently? What happened?"

"Senior sister, I have to tell you something. Don't think too much after you hear it."

"What... what's wrong?" Chuan Feiyan thought something was wrong? It was a big deal, and he was extremely nervous.

Cen Zhu sighed, and said, "I? Maybe I will be chosen as the emperor's husband."

Chuan Feiyan was suffocating and waiting for her to say something, something like a funeral, so as to cheer her up and comfort her, when she heard this sentence suddenly, she didn't react for a while.What is it to choose the imperial husband? Ghost?Will he be sent to prison and ransacked his home?

etc!Choose the imperial husband? ? ?Could it be...! ! !

"Ah!" Chuan Feiyan yelled in surprise as if exploded, startled all the servants in the house, and looked up at her.

Cen Zhu was shocked for a while, and hurried forward to cover her mouth, "Senior sister, I know you are very excited now, but let's keep calm first, please? The boss hasn't issued an order yet, so don't shout." My neighbors and neighbors have heard it, and the influence is not good! Isn't it?"

Chuan Feiyan nodded with a "huh huh" and looked at her with wide-eyed eyes, frowning as if holding back? It was very uncomfortable.

Cen Zhu hurriedly put down his hand, Chuan Feiyan gasped out with a "huh!", and suddenly grabbed Cen Zhu's arm, "Is this true?"

"Ok!"

Chuan Feiyan covered his neck in an instant, quickly tapped the ground a few times with his toes, and was so excited beyond words.Seeing that she was still caressing her slightly protruding belly with one hand, Cen Zhu worried that the child would jump out excitedly.

All of a sudden, she gasped again in a "huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHhHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" , breathe slowly, press down, don’t choke, give the baby some air!”

Chuan Feiyan managed to calm down, and could no longer restrain the high enthusiasm for eating melons in her body.

Grabbing? Cen Zhu kept interrogating her, shaking her shoulders excitedly with both hands, "Wow Cen Zhu, you bad boy is the one who makes a lot of money silently! Sister, I'm underestimating you! Why did you say that?" If you don’t make any noise, you’ll get the job done! You’re so upbeat! My siblings didn’t misunderstand you! I’m so happy! God has eyes, hahahahaha!..."

Cen Zhu's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

At the same time, Gao Tongchuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also received a reply from Her Majesty the Empress to his proposal to appoint the consort Guowei (commonly known as the emperor's husband) as soon as possible. , Select young talents of the right age from across the country.

It is a big event for the queen to choose her husband.It is equivalent to the establishment of a country, which is related to the stability of the country and the inheritance of the emperor's blood, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

However, the Prince Consort is different from the Captain Prince Consort. Not only is he a higher rank in the literal sense, but he also needs to be more cautious in the selection of talents.If you choose the wrong one, it is likely to hinder the rights of Her Majesty the Queen.

So the six departments and divisions were dispatched one after another to recommend candidates for public review.In the end, after three rounds of screening, the Ministry of Rites drew up a list of five candidates for the consort of the State Lieutenant, which will be discussed by the cabinet first, with the intention of eliminating two more and drafting a final list of three for the Queen's choice.

Jiang Yiting, as the newly appointed cabinet minister of the Imperial Academy, made an exception for the first time and participated in this cabinet discussion.

Just before the discussion began, important information such as the biographies of the five prince consort candidates were listed on the post, and each person and a piece of paper with plum blossoms were passed on to the eight cabinet elders in turn.

The five candidates are: Fei Lingfang, the eldest grandson of Princess Anping, Cao Jiashen, the eldest son of Marquis Cao, Wu Liangji, the fourth son of Wen Xingbo, Cui Zhongxian, the second son of Cui Yunliang, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and Cui Zhongxian, the second son of the governor of Jiangyang County. The eldest son Jiang Linqi.These are all young talents in Yurui's count, which one is actually qualified to be the son-in-law and national captain, but there is only one candidate for the emperor's husband.

Dali Temple Qing Yue Haiyu raised objections first, "This Cui Yunliang, as the active commander of the Shenwu Army, should avoid suspicion. Why did he include his son?"

Gao Tongchuan said with a smile: "This time, His Majesty has a special purpose for the selection of the consort's national lieutenant. During the general election, military officers in active duty should not be avoided, and the selection should be based on merit. Cui Zhongliang and Cao Jiashen both have military registrations at present."

Fu Mingqi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "It's better to avoid one. There are too many two. You can pick one out of them."

Others said yes, so after public discussion, Cui Zhongxian, who was more likely to hinder the Queen's rule in the future, was eliminated first.There are four left.

Jiang Yiting thought to himself, the selection of this son-in-law national lieutenant is really not the more powerful and the better the family background, the better he can be. In order to avoid the East Palace being restrained by the Tu family, the elders will definitely not let the new son-in-law and the future There may be connections with powerful people.

However, the Queen's will must be taken into account after all, so since one active military officer, Cui Zhongxian, has been eliminated, the only remaining active military officer, Cao Jiashen, is equivalent to being "walked" and directly entered the final stage of the Consort Guowei. Three-person shortlist.

The remaining two places were contested between Fei Lingfang, the eldest grandson of Princess Anping, Wu Liangji, the fourth son of Wen Xingbo, and Jiang Linqi, the eldest son of Jiangyang County Sheriff.

Fei Lingfang has the title of a royal relative, and his character and family background are all first-class, but the status of a royal relative is not an advantage in running for the prince's son-in-law, and the elders prefer candidates with more distant blood ties.

Wu Liangji is a new Tanhua Lang with outstanding literary talents, and his father Wu Dazhong is a veteran of the Three Dynasties.But because this family had stood in the team and criticized Cen Zhi, Wen Songhou and Lanlie didn't have a good impression of them.

Jiang Linqi is a direct descendant of a prominent family in Jiangmen. He usually writes books and is very famous in the literary world.

Just when everyone was at a stalemate, a small yellow door suddenly ran over and handed a name card to Gao Tongchuan, "The Supreme Emperor knows that the elders are discussing the candidate for the consort of the country, so he specially sent a minister to give it to Gao Tongchuan." All the elders sent a famous post, I hope the elders can also join in the discussion."

When everyone heard that it was a post from the Supreme Emperor, they didn't dare to be negligent, and stood up one after another to accept the famous post.

After Gao Tongchuan took the post, he opened it and took a look. He couldn't help but gasped. Wang Zhongxu and the others were attracted to them, and when they saw the names on the post, they all let out a hiss.

"who is it?"

Gao Tongchuan opened the post and showed it to the elder Ge who hadn't seen it, and said in surprise, "It's Cen Zhu."

When he heard Cen Zhu's name, the cheekbone muscles on both sides of Jiang Yiting's unshakable thin and long face trembled unconsciously.

"let me see."

Lan Lie took the post, and Cen Zhu's life story was indeed listed in black and white.And the handwriting can be recognized at a glance, it is the handwriting of the Supreme Emperor Li Pinghong.

Although he has not sent any news to the outside world for a long time, Li Pinghong, as a father, has a very large say in the matter of choosing a husband for the queen.The elders of this face pavilion can't help but give it.

but……

"This Cen Zhu, before? Didn't he get married?"

Gao Tongchuan explained: "The empress has also relaxed restrictions on non-head marriages. It stands to reason that Cen Zhu is also eligible, but when the ministries sent the primary list, in order to show their respect to His Majesty, some non-head marriages were automatically selected. Marriages are screened out. Moreover, generally at this age, most of them are non-first marriages like Cen Zhu, and the exception is people like Young Master Cao."

"Since the Supreme Emperor has an oral order, let's continue the discussion!"

Gao Tongchuan put Cen Zhu's name post among the other candidates' name posts, and passed it on to everyone again.

"Cen Zhu? Why didn't you think of her before?" Fu Mingqi stroked his beard and smiled playfully.

"Don't say you didn't think of it, none of us thought of it." Wang Zhongxu smiled happier than anyone else, patted his thigh and turned his head excitedly: "Hey, Mr. Fuge, me? I still remember that you once joked about Cen Zhuyi The sentence, 'One day when you ascend the Dragon Gate, you will be the son-in-law of the next year', I didn't expect it to become a proverb, after all these years of going around, this Cen Zhu was still chosen by the Supreme Emperor as his son-in-law."

"Isn't it done yet? Old Wang Ge, don't be too happy." Yue Haiyu said with a smile when he saw his happy face.

Wang Zhongxu responded: "How can you see that I am happy?"

Everyone could see that he was happy.But this is not surprising, this Cen Zhuo is regarded as Wang Zhongxu's favorite general, his personality, talent, appearance and temperament are all first-rate. Although he was not the first marriage, his wife died young and he has been widowed for a long time. Compared with the first marriage, Her conditions are also unbeatable.And she is not implicated by family background, which is better than many princes and princes with prominent family backgrounds.

Because of the addition of Cen Zhu, the No. [-] scholar, Wu Liangji's Tanhua Lang is not enough to look at.Candidates were directly screened out.

Jiang Yiting's face was tense. This was the first time he was so excited that his hands shook in a court meeting. When the final three-person list was made, he seemed to have fought a battle with him in his heart. It was really overwhelming and hearty.

After the meeting, Jiang Yiting, who had always been prudent, trotted away on the royal road for the first time. After finding his own carriage, he urged: "Hurry up, go to Yanhu Cen's mansion!"
