Chapter 222 Unexpectedly
"It's also a way." Shangguan Jing nodded: "The Empress Dowager found Master Wu for Jing Heng, and most likely she wanted to order Mr. Mo to do it. Auntie deliberately stuffed Mr. Qin for him, so he should be able to understand what it means."

"This matter is easy to handle," Mr. Feng stroked the tip of his raised mustache: "The trouble is to accompany the reading."

"It's a pity that neither the emperor nor the queen mother will agree to let the young master of the Shangguan family be the accompanying student." He Lingjun shook his head and sighed: "Otherwise, I think the third son of Shangguan is a suitable candidate."

"I don't think it's urgent to worry about being a companion." Shangguanjing replied after thinking for a while: "The empress dowager is making such a big noise here, it will inevitably alarm the big families in Beijing, just like Mr. said before, no matter what other people Well, the Su family must be jumping up and down to seize this opportunity. Their family has no shortage of children who can read. Besides, it makes sense for the prince to accompany him to read from the number one family of poetry and etiquette in this dynasty."

"There are also the clans," He Lingyao added: "The princes who are sealed in the middle of the capital are probably eager to send their sons to Jing Heng to accompany them."

"Exactly!" Shangguan smiled and nodded: "So I don't think we need to rush, let them fight. Anyway, no matter who the emperor and queen mother choose, they have to ask Jing Heng for his own opinion in the end."

"I do have a candidate..." Old man Feng glanced at He Lingjun: "Actually, we all know that even if there is a queen mother in the palace, the Yang family's power in the court still cannot compete with the top few. A big family. Therefore, if she uses her brains to put a woman next to Jing Heng, the emperor and important ministers will probably turn a blind eye, but if she wants to put a child of the Yang family to accompany the prince to study, her Yang family may not have that. Weight. The Weiyuan Hou Mansion is actually the same, the old man will be straightforward, don't mind the two of you."

"Sir, it's okay to be straightforward," He Lingjun quickly replied: "Grandpa's side is so exhausting, in fact, even my father can't laugh or cry. The previous generations of the He family were indeed extremely prominent, and they can be called a family of first-class military generals in Beijing." It's just that after our great-great-grandfather died early in the battle, the descendants were a little out of touch and gradually began to show signs of decline. My grandfather originally placed all his hopes on my father, but it's a pity that my father would rather be a son-in-law captain who only receives a salary for the sake of my mother. The uncle who wants to inherit the title has very ordinary abilities. Grandfather is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he is going to compete with a group of civil servants for the prince to study with him, even if he thinks about it, he knows it is impossible."

"Therefore, this old man can conclude now," Old Man Feng nodded, "The Queen Mother and the Marquis of Weiyuan are all in vain. But... For them, it would be nice to have a second-best candidate."

Shangguan Jing turned her head abruptly, blinked at He Lingjun, and smiled: "Yes! The eldest cousin is really a suitable candidate. The Dazhou law has a lot of restrictions on the clan, and the emperor has to nod for every imperial examination. If you want to become an official in the court, there are not many ways to go. Those princes are actively thinking about the position of the prince's companion for the future of their sons. Like a younger brother, he was awarded a title at a young age, received a salary, raised a group of followers, and drank and wrote poems at home every day?"

"Grandmother may not be too satisfied." He Lingyao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "My brother didn't listen to her old man very much since he was a child. She always said that my brother was born rebellious, and he was born to anger her."

"That's the best." Shangguanjing clapped her hands and laughed: "I don't want to worry about letting the queen mother go as she pleases! It's just my eldest cousin who always wronged you when we were accompanying Jing Heng. The two of us have always Under the care of my aunt, Jing Heng had no friends when I was young, and no one paid attention to us when we entered the palace, and only the two of you were willing to play with us, but when we grow up, a lot of things will happen to bother you."

"Why do the family say such foreign words." He Lingyao looked unhappy.

"That's right," He Lingjun also replied, "If that's the case, Jing'er should stop talking about it. You married Jing Heng early, and you have been with him all these years. In fact, you know best. The two of you are actually My younger brother and younger sister like Yaoer and I are all part of the same family, so there is no need to say such polite words."

"Since the eldest cousin is willing to help," Shangguan Jing politely extended a blessing to He Lingjun: "I thank you in advance. This is not a formality, it is only my gift to bribe the eldest cousin in advance."

This one-liner made a group of people laugh, and there was no rush about it anyway.He Lingjun himself has no objection, he intends to discuss with his mother, after a while, wait for the empress dowager to have enough trouble.

On the second day of Shangguanjing's visit to the Princess Mansion, Mr. Qin packed his luggage and bid farewell to Marquis Wu Ding as he had agreed before.Marquis Wu Ding did not stop him.

Shangguan Jing didn't know whether that old fox Wu Dinghou had seen through her plan, but even if he had seen through, so what, if she didn't admit it, it didn't exist, anyway Wu Dinghou wouldn't ask her face to face.

What happened in the next few days was exactly as Shangguanjing had expected. Although Xiao Jingheng's identity was unknown, the empress dowager's actions were already very telling.Therefore, for who is qualified to teach in the Ideological and Political Hall and who is qualified to study with Xiao Jingheng, the aristocratic families in Beijing have already started a secret competition.

Su Ping made several memorials for this, and recommended his students.Not to be outdone, Prime Minister Chen also submitted a memorial to the emperor, recommending two or three candidates.Only Taiwei Lin seemed to be calm.

Everyone thought that this round of the Lin family was going to stand on the sidelines, but unexpectedly, a few days later, Mrs. Lin invited an order to enter the palace, wanting to see her daughter.

Concubine Lin Guifei lost her two princes in just two years and was depressed. Of course, the emperor would not prevent Madam Lin from entering the palace to comfort her.

On that day, Mrs. Lin stayed in the palace for a whole day.After she left, Concubine Lin Gui sealed herself in the palace for another whole day without eating or drinking and seeing no one.

On the third day, Concubine Lin Guifei went out, she was dressed in plain clothes, and she went to the door of the imperial study to see the emperor.

The emperor never expected that when Concubine Lin Gui came here this time, she made a request that stunned him. She wanted to adopt Xiao Jingheng under her own name.

Of course the emperor didn't agree casually, he sent Concubine Lin Gui back with a few perfunctory words, saying that he wanted to think about it.

But the news couldn't be suppressed. In just half a day, this matter spread all over the palace and outside the palace.Empress Chen was furious, and then hastily recruited the prime minister's wife into the palace.

 ---Here is the dividing line for concubines in the harem--
  Tsk tsk tsk, some people are rushing to be Xiao Hengheng's cheap mother!Guess, is Lin Guifei forced by her natal family? ?
  Thanks to Perak and Yun Qingqing for their daily dried fish! !
