With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 13
As for Emperor Jianning, he was invited to Fengqi Palace by Empress Xu after he came down to court.

It was for the selection of a concubine for Prince Xia Yan.

Empress Xu was originally from Yanzhou. Emperor Jianning, who was still the prince at that time, was made queen and got acquainted with her after going to the fiefdom of Yanzhou.

The Xu family was a high-ranking official in Yanzhou. Later, Empress Xu's younger brother, Duke Rui, became the magistrate of Yanzhou and made great contributions to the great cause of Emperor Jianning.

For this reason, Emperor Jianning respected Empress Xu very much. After all, the two were young couples who had shared weal and woe, and their relationship was still very deep. Otherwise, they would not have made the eldest son of the Xu family the crown prince as soon as they ascended the throne.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

At the gate of Fengqi Palace, Empress Xu came to greet Shengjia early, saluting with tender eyes

Emperor Jianning personally helped her up, "You don't need to be polite, the spring is cold, why wait outside, the queen is weak, don't catch the cold."

"It's not so delicate, not to mention it's almost March, and it's already getting warmer. The concubine is not afraid of the cold, and just wants to see the emperor sooner." Empress Xu smiled softly.

In fact, she is over forty years old, but because she is well maintained, she still looks quite charming, so this shy look is not out of harmony.

Emperor Jianning smiled very usefully, took the Queen's hand, and entered Fengqi Palace.

During these few steps, I talked about what happened in the court today.

"Then Su Yi must be the one who loves his daughter. Not long ago, because the Shen family's kid frightened his daughter, he ran against Shen He in court. Today, because his daughter was frightened last night, he scolded Xu Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. It’s interesting and interesting to start talking kindly to the Shen family boy who saved his daughter.”

"It's a pity that the emperor doesn't have a princess under his knees. Otherwise, if he loves his daughter, he will be more powerful than Su Yushi." Empress Xu joked with a smile.

Speaking of which, the Su family is also one of the few old ministers, and they hold weight in Emperor Jianning's heart, and they are worthy of attention, otherwise Su Yi would not have been allowed to sit in the position of the Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate.

In this position, it is quite a full-time job to picket hundreds of officials and even remonstrate with the emperor.

So now when Emperor Jianning talks about Su Yi, Empress Xu has good things to say.

Of course, there is another point, the second young lady of the Su family, Su Zhiyi, will be her nephew and daughter-in-law after the imperial decree. The Xu family and the Su family are also in-laws.

Emperor Jianning took a sip of tea with a smile, "Others are looking forward to their son, but I am looking forward to my daughter, but in the future, there will be less worries about marrying my daughter. Su Yi loves the young girl so much, and he will not cry when his daughter gets married in the future." one game."

"That's coming soon, my concubine heard that in May it will be the wedding ceremony for the Fourth Miss Su, and once the wedding ceremony is over, she will be able to get married." Empress Xu also laughed.

But while talking, he brought the topic back, took out a booklet and put it in front of Emperor Jianning.

"Your Majesty, don't just focus on the daughters of the courtiers. Let's take a look at our son first. The candidates for the crown prince's side concubine. The concubines have chosen a few, and I ask the emperor to make a decision."

Emperor Jianning was still thinking about the matters of the Su family, but the matter of the crown prince was more important, so he put the Su family aside for the time being.

I opened the booklet prepared by the queen and looked at it. There were eight girls who were waiting to be married, and all of them were good-looking and family-born.

Emperor Jianning chose for a while, and finally settled on a girl named Wang Xuwei.

"It's just her, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, she is quite qualified to be the prince's side concubine."

"Your Majesty has a good eye." Empress Xu smiled, closed the booklet and handed it to the maid at the side, "Then when will the decree be issued?"

Emperor Jianning stroked the jade wrench in his hand, "In a few months, the matter of commercial taxation in the south is being handed over to the crown prince for review. After the crown prince finishes this matter, it will not be too late to worry about the backyard."

This was also expected by Empress Xu.

Having been married for many years, she knew that Emperor Jianning was not a womanizer and valued the foundation of the royal family more than the love of his children, and she has always treated the next few princes with this kind of request.

Xia Zhen, the fourth prince born to Concubine De, was not very popular with Emperor Jianning because of her sexuality.

So at this time, Empress Xu knew that Emperor Jianning wanted the prince to sort out the Qing government first and then talk about the relationship between his children, so as not to be entangled.

With Wang Xuwei's status, she is qualified to be the crown prince's regular wife. If it weren't for the fact that the present crown princess Yin's family is a bit out of character, Emperor Jianning and Empress Xu would not think of giving the prince a concubine.

This side concubine is now a concubine, and it is very likely that in the future, after the crown prince ascends the throne, she will replace the Yin family as the empress of the main palace.

And outside the palace at that time.

Shen Qianwei in the yamen had just finished training his soldiers when he was immediately summoned by the Minister of War.

Listening to Luo Shangshu's words in a daze, Shen Qianwei only extracted the most essential words. He has meritorious service and has been promoted.

"Congratulations boss, there will be thousands of households in the future, and there will be ten times more brothers under this hand!" Zheng Han approached with a smile.

Shen Qianwei grinned, sat down on the chair, and put his legs crossed on the table, looking like an old man.

"You all work hard too. You've done so much meritorious service. Wouldn't you be promoted and make a fortune?"

"Boss, you've got a promotion, so you have to treat me. Brothers, your mouth is very dry. It's been a long time since I've had a drink!"

"Yes, yes, the boss must treat you today!"

"Yes, treat!"

The people under his hands immediately became fussy, and Shen Qianwei was naturally not stingy, and with a big wave of his hand, he said that he would go to a restaurant for a rubdown tonight.

After dismissing the people who joined in the fun, he regained his riffraff appearance just now, and pulled out his saber to wipe it.

Zheng Han sat down next to him, with envy in his tone, "You've been promoted too fast, I see that other thousand households are all in their 40s and [-]s, and you can be someone's son."

"Fuck you!" Shen Qianwei backhanded him, "I'm a hero, can't I be a teenager?"

Zheng Han covered his head without speaking, and looked at him aggrieved.

Shen Qianwei restrained her hostility, and then said calmly, "The emperor wants to promote his confidants, my father is a good fighter in war, but he doesn't know a few big characters, I'm afraid this fourth-rank official is at the end, so I'm taking advantage of it. "

Even if he is a general, he has to be both civil and military to be a high official, so Shen He, who has no culture, will suffer.

Shen Qianwei is different. He is young and familiar with military books. Although his literary talents are not good, it is enough to be a military general.

Especially nowadays, most of the military generals in the imperial court are mud legs brought from Yanzhou to Bianjing by Emperor Jianning.

So Emperor Jianning wanted to give it a try, to see if Shen Qianwei was a man to make.

Although Shen Qianwei is rough and bold, she is not stupid, and she can still figure out the taste of such a little content.

After Zheng Han understood, he smiled, "Then you have to seize the opportunity, this is rare for the emperor to see, maybe the future will be the sky."

"Lend your auspicious words."

Shen Qianwei pursed her lips, and retracted the wiped sharp blade back into the scabbard, a cold light flashed, just like the stern look in the boy's eyes.

At the age of fresh clothes and angry horses, who doesn't have a little youthful ambition.
