Chapter 8

Shen hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, can the affairs of the Shen family be handled by my concubine?
The courtiers and concubines must handle it impartially, without favoritism, and give the princess a satisfactory explanation. Does the emperor think it is so good? "

Xia Feng stared at her for a few seconds, as if to judge the credibility of her words.

And Shen also managed her nervousness very well.

After a while, Xia Feng said, "Then do as you say."

Shen's face showed joy, and she knelt down to thank her: "My concubine thanks the emperor for his trust."

Xia Feng: "Get up."

Shen: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At night, Xia Feng didn't stay overnight, and left after sitting for half an hour.

And the concubines and concubines who were paying attention to this place also fell asleep peacefully.

It was late at night, and the pattering moonlight shone through the window into the study of Xiaoyao Wangfu.

Xia Mochen stood by the window in a silver-gray robe, with his hands behind his back.

This stop took half an hour to pass, and none of the servants in the mansion dared to step forward.

Most of the time, they were thinking that it would be great if there was a concubine in the mansion who could take charge.

However, after so many years, the prince is not in a hurry, and the emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

Ugh……

It's really frustrating for them servants.

"Cough...cough..."

Intermittent coughing resounded through the study, and the old lady stepped forward to put a thick cloak on him.

"My lord, you need to be more careful about your body."

Xia Mochen pushed her away, frowned: "Go down."

"Please forgive me, my lord, this old servant has held back some words in his heart for a long time.

Today, even at the risk of being convicted, the old slave has to speak.

You have been weak since childhood, and although you have no serious illnesses, you are constantly suffering from minor illnesses, which need to be carefully recuperated.

Prince, you are surrounded by men, not as careful as women, you should marry a princess as soon as possible. "

Xia Mochen walked to the armchair and sat down. He didn't seem to have any emotions, and asked lightly, "Which girl do you think is suitable?"

The old mother: "In my opinion, as long as the prince likes it, it's suitable for anyone who has no interests involved."

Xia Mochen: "Mommy must have a candidate in mind."

"Looking at this old slave, the Xiangrui Princess of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not bad, and he is familiar with the prince, and he is also a confidant..."

"Xu Jiarui, send the old mother into the palace, and bring in the words just now."

Before the old mammy could finish speaking, she was already knocked out and carried away.

In the palace, the emperor, who was just about to rest, heard the report that the prince's people had come, so he casually put on a coat and went out of the room.

Seeing Xu Jiarui and the unconscious old woman on the ground, he hurriedly asked, "But what happened to Mo Chen?"

After Xu Jiarui explained the matter clearly and simply, he resigned. The so-called came and went in a hurry.

Xia Feng glanced at the people on the ground indifferently, and ordered: "Take it down and investigate!"

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Feng saw that the memorials were all about Tianqi's only prince, and felt like a bright mirror in his heart.

"Everyone who loves you cares about the country and the people, it is indeed my great fortune to have you.

The emperor has been weak and sick all these years, and I am very worried. If it is true as what you said in the memorial, it will really solve one of my heart problems.

I don't know if all the lovers can recommend suitable candidates for the emperor's brother's marriage? "

"My Majesty, I do have a suitable candidate." A voice came from among the civil servants.

Xia Feng: "Oh? Who is Ma Shangshu interested in?"

Ma Nan: "I think the Xiangrui princess of the prime minister's family is more suitable.

It was rumored that when this girl was born, there was auspicious omen from the sky, and she had the fate of a phoenix. She would definitely be able to prosper the prince, so she was the most suitable candidate. "

Qian Chengzhi came out and saluted the people on the dragon chair, and then said: "Your Majesty, I feel that something is wrong."

"Your Majesty, I agree with what Ma Shangshu said, Princess Xiangrui is the most suitable candidate."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"..."

Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood on Ma Shangshu's side and asked the emperor to grant him a marriage.

Xia Feng looked at Qian Chengzhi with a blank expression on his face, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Qian Chengzhi: "Reporting to the emperor, I feel that it is inappropriate, the young girl is only thirteen years old, and I selfishly want to stay for a few more years.

Moreover, she has just suffered a catastrophe, and now she is weak and may not be able to take care of others. "

"Yeah." Xia Feng nodded, "I've heard about Xiangrui, so let's let it go for now."

Qian Chengzhi: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

On the other side, when the Shen family heard that Concubine Qi had sent someone, they invited them in with a smile on their faces.

The person who came was Deng Qiu, the great eunuch next to Concubine Qi.

"Where's the young master?" Deng Qiu entered the hall and asked after looking around but didn't find it.

"Eunuch Deng, what orders does Concubine Qi have?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

Deng Qiu said in a sharp voice: "Call the young master out."

Seeing this attitude, Mrs. Zhang felt ominous:
"Eunuch Deng, if there is something wrong with your mother, you can tell me directly that the child has contracted a cold and is not suitable for seeing others. Please forgive me."

"I'm afraid Madam can't handle this matter." After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and ordered his subordinates, "Go, invite the young master out, if you can't leave, then carefully carry it out for me!"

He already held his breath in his stomach, and no one in the Shen family can rest easy.

It's really unlucky that the empress was finally received by the emperor, and such things happened.

After a while, Deng Qiu finally understood why it was not suitable to meet people.

At this moment, Shen Yanzhi was not as arrogant as he had seen in the past, with his head covered like a pig's.

"Eunuch Deng, what's the matter with you? Now that we've seen each other, it's time to talk about it!" Mrs. Zhang's displeasure was already written on her face.

Deng Qiu was stunned for a moment, then ordered: "Take it away."

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to stop him: "Where is Mr. Deng taking my son?"

Deng Qiu looked at Zhang and said: "Madam, I advise you to get out of the way, if not, the right to dispose of this matter will return to the emperor's hands, and it is unknown whether this young master's life can be saved."

The sun was just right, and Qian Ling sat in the pavilion in her yard, watching the snow melt into water little by little under the sun's rays.

She ordered someone to find something to catch the snow water.

The subordinates didn't know what it was useful for, and they found it quite novel, and each of them carried it out seriously.

Drinking tea, admiring the scenery, and watching the servants busy with joyful faces, Qian Ling felt a little quiet time.

"Miss, Concubine Qi's people are here, and they want to see you, miss." The old housekeeper hurried over, and in this cold weather, thick beads of sweat ooze from his forehead.

"Jimeng, bring a cup of hot tea to Grandpa He." Qian Ling ordered.

He Hao drank the tea and felt a little warmer.

Qian Ling: "You can speak slowly."

He Hao calmed down, and explained the whole story: "The person who came was the eunuch next to Concubine Qi, who brought a lot of valuables, saying that he came to apologize for the inappropriate actions of the young master of the Shen family and Mrs. Shen yesterday."
