sick princess

Emperor Zhaode's hand holding the wine glass paused: "Oh? Then in Aifei's opinion, what kind of lady should I point out to Chengyu?"

"This concubine can't tell. Marquis Wu'an is such an amazing and talented young man, I really can't think of anyone who is compatible with Marquis Wu'an so that he can not be humiliated." Concubine Zhou said with a smile: " According to Marquis Wu An's background, appearance and ability, not to mention ordinary ladies, even the princess and princess of our royal family, Marquis Wu An is also worthy."

"Among the royal princesses and clan princesses, the only ones who are about the same age as Chengyu are Han'er, Chang Le, Baoluo, and Princess Pingning, the eldest granddaughter of the emperor's uncle."

As soon as Concubine Zhou Guifei heard this, she knew that Emperor Zhaode really wanted to point Lan Chengyu to a noble lady from the Tian family, her heart jumped, but she didn't show it on her face: "Princess Pingning is good, but after all, she is separated by a layer. Marquis Wu An is the nephew of the emperor's own family, if he marries the emperor's own daughter, the relationship with the emperor will be closer in the future, the emperor said, right?"

Emperor Zhaode looked at Concubine Zhou Gui with a half-smile: "I also have this intention, but I have been hesitating whether I should let Chengyu be the Lord or not. If I want Chengyu to be the Lord, which one should I let him be?" .”

"Among the three princesses who are not yet engaged, Han'er is the longest. It stands to reason that I should give priority to Han'er when it comes to marriage..."

When Concubine Zhou heard this, her heart became hot, but for a moment she didn't know whether Emperor Zhaode really intended to marry the fifth princess to Lan Chengyu, or was testing her.She looked at Emperor Zhaode cautiously: "It is Han'er's blessing that the emperor loves Han'er so much. No matter who Han'er is assigned to marry in the future, the concubine and Han'er will always believe in the emperor's vision."

"I love my concubine and listen to what I have to say. I originally thought that Han'er is a princess, innocent and innocent, and she is quite suitable for Chengyu. It's a pity that after being exposed to the rain in the royal temple, Han'er became very weak , her temper became more and more irritable. The imperial concubine just said a few days ago that Han'er has been crazy recently, and I am afraid that she will not be able to perform her duties as the head of the house. Although Han'er is my daughter, Chengyu is also my nephew, and I will rely on him in the future As a subject, I can't wrong Chengyu because of Han'er."

"I can't let my humerus ministers work for me when they are in the court, and then they have to suffer from my daughter's idleness when they return to the mansion. Not only Chengyu is like this, but the rest of the courtiers are also like this."

After hearing what Emperor Zhaode said, Concubine Zhou Gui couldn't stop her heart from sinking.

She didn't expect that the reason she used to persuade Emperor Zhaode not to send Ji Qinghan to marry him a few days ago would be used here by Emperor Zhaode.

Listening to what Emperor Zhaode meant, Ji Qinghan and Lan Chengyu were impossible.Not only that, it is impossible for Ji Qinghan to be the son of any young and promising minister.Emperor Zhaode had already said clearly that he would not let those people advise him in the court, but after the court, he would rack his brains to serve his troublesome daughter.

If Ji Qinghan wanted to choose a son-in-law, he might have to choose among talented people from poor families, or people from noble backgrounds but without real power.

How could this make Concubine Zhou reconciled?How willing!

Concubine Zhou Gui was originally thinking, and said that Ji Qinghan's illness was getting worse first, so that she could deal with the hurdle of getting married first.In the future, when the limelight of this matter fades away, she will carefully select a young talent from a famous family for Ji Qinghan—even if it is not Lan Chengyu, it must be someone similar to Lan Chengyu.After getting married, she will keep Ji Qinghan by her side for another two or three years, and slowly recuperate Ji Qinghan's "madness". When she gets married, Ji Qinghan will be no different from the previous princesses.

It's a pity that Emperor Zhaode was angered by Concubine Zhou's push for Baoluo to get married a few days ago, and Emperor Zhaode didn't even have any superficial affection for her and Ji Qinghan.At this moment, Concubine Zhou's heart was extremely bitter. If she had known that the Beirong Rebellion would be put down so soon, if she had known that there was no need to send the princess to make a marriage, she would not have been so impatient before.

Now, she really lifted a rock and shot herself in the foot.

After a long time, Concubine Zhou finally found her voice: "Han'er and Marquis of Wu'an... are indeed... not very compatible. Han'er is weak, so he can't worry too much, and he is not suitable for marrying into such a high-ranking family. In the future, if the emperor finds a family with a good family style and a simpler population for Han'er, the concubine and Han'er will be content."

Whenever she is in front of Emperor Zhaode, she must be reasonable and reasonable in advance and retreat.

No matter how embarrassed she is at the moment, in front of Emperor Zhaode, even if she pretends, she has to put on some elegance.

After hearing Concubine Zhou's words, Emperor Zhaode had a smile on his face. He patted Concubine Zhou's hand and said, "It would be great if Ah Lan could think like this. Don't worry, Han'er is My daughter, no matter what, I will not treat her badly."

Concubine Zhou quietly put away the wry smile on her lips: "In the eyes of the emperor, which one is suitable for Marquis Wu An, the sixth princess or the seventh princess? I heard that Marquis Wu An made friends with the seventh princess when he was studying in the upper study. And His Highness the Crown Prince treats Marquis of Wu'an very kindly..."

Emperor Zhaode suddenly put away the smile on his face: "Baoluo is young and weak. I plan to keep her for a few more years, and I will not consider her marriage for the time being."

Hearing this, Concubine Zhou Gui quietly let go of her heart, it would have been better if it hadn't been Baoluo.Since her daughter can't marry a high-ranking family, she is naturally not happy to see Baoluo marry into a high-ranking family, so as to win more supporters for the East Palace family.

It should have been thought of earlier, with Emperor Zhaode's suspicious nature, how could he let Lan Chengyu become the Lord so casually?

The Lan family, including Lan Chengyu, are the sharpest knives in the hands of Emperor Zhaode.Right now, Emperor Zhaode can still fully trust the Lan family. If Lan Chengyu becomes the leader and automatically joins the team, even Emperor Zhaode would not dare to use the Lan family wholeheartedly like he is now.

Therefore, it was impossible for Emperor Zhaode to let Lan Chengyu favor Ji Qinghan, and likewise, it was impossible for him to let Lan Chengyu favor Ji Baoluo.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhou finally felt a little better.

However, Emperor Zhaode's next words once again made her feel uncomfortable.

"Chang Le and Cheng Yu are quite suitable. Although Chang Le's qualifications are mediocre and her biological mother is of such a background, it is precisely because of this that she will not put on airs as a princess in front of Cheng Yu—nor can she. Although Liang Shunyi is talented and beautiful Pingping, at least he is good at serving people. But if Fan Changle can learn a little bit from Liang Shunyi, in the future, he and Chengyu will surely be able to be a harmonious couple."

Concubine Zhou clenched her lower lip with her upper teeth.

Emperor Zhaode actually wanted to match Lan Chengyu and the sixth princess?The cowardly, humble, sixth princess who is inferior to her daughter in every way?It's a joke!

If her daughter can't get it, the sixth princess can't get it either.

What's more, Concubine Zhou knew that the fifth princess, Ji Qinghan, and the sixth princess, Ji Changle, had always been at odds, and she used Ji Changle and Liang Shunyi in the marriage marriage, so there was no guarantee that Ji Changle and Liang Shunyi would not find out.

If Ji Changle is satisfied, the life of Concubine Zhou Gui and Ji Qinghan will be sad in the future.

We must find a way to make Emperor Zhaode dispel this idea, thought Concubine Zhou.

……

"Your Highness, Marquis Wu'an knew what you did for the north, and personally sent something to express his gratitude to you." The confidant eunuch next to the prince said with a low eyebrow.

"Gu is the prince of Da Xia, these things are what Gu should do, you go and tell him, he is willing to lead alone. However, he really doesn't have to do this." The eunuch took the order and left.

The staff at the side felt sorry for the prince: "His Royal Highness, I don't know how much thought has been spent on planning this. It is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but because of the emperor, he has to be sneaky, and even dare not let others know. It is really unbelievable." What should I say? Fortunately, Marquis Wu An knows what he knows, so His Highness's painstaking efforts were not in vain."

The prince raised his hand to stop his words: "I did this alone, not to make people appreciate, but to be worthy of my heart and ears."

Of course, although the crown prince is not the kind of character who wants to be famous for doing good deeds, he will not deliberately be an unsung hero who "leaves behind his clothes and hides his merits and fame".This kind of hermit feeling is not suitable for a person of his status.There is nothing better than someone who can see his goodness and remember his goodness.

"However, the current situation is beneficial to His Highness. The more miserable the emperor behaves, the more the hearts of those truly talented people will fall to His Highness. Although the Emperor sees that the second prince is useless, He wanted to elevate the Seventh Prince to compete with His Highness, but after all, the Seventh Prince is young and has no achievements and connections, so how can he compare with His Highness? When His Highness has established a firm foothold, he will be able to fight against the Emperor. At that time, a mere Seventh Prince, nothing to be afraid of..."

After sending the counselor away, the prince glanced out of the window and wondered, "Why hasn't my sister come here at this hour?"

Usually at this time every day, Baoluo would come to talk to the prince, sometimes it was about the government and the harem, and sometimes it was just a family talk between brothers and sisters.

The relationship between the siblings is very close, even if Baoluo casually chats with the prince about some anecdotes, it can also make the prince feel at ease.What's more, Baoluo is quick-witted and can often inspire the prince when he encounters confusion. As time goes by, the prince likes to talk to Baoluo more and more.

"His Highness, Miss Lan family has invited our princess out of the palace to play, did His Highness forget?"

After being reminded by the people below, the prince only remembered such a stubble.

Over the years, the relationship between Baoluo and Lan Chuyan has gotten better and better.Except for Lan Chuyan, the prince has never seen anyone who can get along so happily with Baoluo.

Baoluo can have his own friends, the prince is naturally happy for Baoluo.However, thinking of Lan Chengyu, the prince frowned again.

Both Baoluo and Lan Chengyu have grown up gradually, and are in the midst of young Muai.

In terms of status and status, Baoluo and Lan Chengyu are also very well matched.

It's a pity that the crown prince knew very well that Emperor Zhaode would never point out Baoluo to Lan Chengyu even if it was aimed at him.

Since it is impossible for Baoluo and Lan Chengyu, he, the older brother, has to find a way to separate them.Otherwise, if my sister accidentally fell into it, wouldn't she be sad in vain in the future?
