Fortune Princess

Chapter 128
In Xiao Qi's harem, apart from the empress who had passed away, there were two concubines on the throne, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Mu. Concubine Zhao gave birth to the second prince, Xiao Yiheng. Concubine Mu had no children and was easy-going. Xiao Yiheng took extra care of him.The power of the Mu family in the capital is second only to that of the Zhao family, so even if Concubine Mu has no children, she can still secure the position of concubine.

The woman in the scroll in the eunuch's hand is none other than Mu Mengyao, the niece of Concubine Mu Gui's family.

"His Royal Highness, Miss Mu has just turned seventeen this year, and her birthday happens to be the sixth day of June. Her father is Mu Yang, Marquis Wu of Wei Dynasty, and her mother is a noble concubine brought back by Lord Mu Hou. Although she is a concubine, she is deeply loved. , the Mu family put all their efforts into cultivating them, they are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are first-class people." The eunuch smiled and told Xiao Yichen about Mu Mengyao's situation.

No matter how extravagant the talk was, Xiao Yichen looked like he lacked interest.Knowing a son is like a father, Xiao Qixing understands that his son is good at everything.Gentle and polite, relaxed and relaxed, but not very keen on women.In the past, he was concerned about his frail health, so he didn't let the maid teach him about men and women. He didn't expect that there would be a problem now.

"Chen'er, besides these few, there are many portraits of ladies here. You have to take a look at them one by one. If there is one you like, you can choose it as a side concubine or concubine. The Prince's Mansion is really deserted by you alone. After you get married, someone will help you manage the house and take care of your body, and you will also have the experience to learn how to govern the country." The loving father's heart is beyond words, and Xiao Qixing sincerely plans for Xiao Yichen.

"Although Mu Mengyao is a concubine, she is also considered a noble daughter of the Hou family. She can be your concubine. You have always been close to the Huo family. Concubine Mu has no children. You married her natal niece, and you will have a relationship in the future." The Mu family can be used by you even more, you have to carefully consider this matter." This is why Xiao Qixing felt moved after the Mu family sent up Mu Mengyao's portrait.

The beloved son of parents must have a long-term plan for it. The position under him will be passed on to Chen'er sooner or later. Even if there are other sons, they are not as important as Chen'er, let him miss them.

Xiao Yichen listened quietly, not intending to interrupt Xiao Qixing, so why didn't he understand what his father had planned for him.Jiangshan Sheji always ranks first in the royal family, so what does the emperor's personal wishes matter?A woman can be a means to an end, as can she herself.

There is no family that is not greedy for authority, and there is no emperor who is not obsessed with the throne. As long as he stays in this position for a day, he has no right to choose, flesh and blood?The emperor doesn't need this kind of emotion, the heights are too cold, and as much power as he enjoys, he has to bear as much responsibility.

If it were the former Xiao Yichen, he would definitely agree with Xiao Qixing's words without hesitation, after all what he said was right.He has no family to rely on, and with a pack of wolves around, if he wins over the Huo family and the Mu family to support him, then maybe he will no longer have any worries.

The current Mu Mengyao is young and beautiful, and is praised like a fairy. From any standpoint, Xiao Yichen has no reason to reject such a suitable princess in all aspects.Even if she is ugly and speechless, or even arrogant, it doesn't matter, what he cares about is the Mu family standing behind Mu Mengyao.

So what about a concubine, becoming a princess is Mu Mengyao's greatest contribution to the Mu family.The current crown princess, the future empress, and the Mu family will also rise because of Xiao Yichen's accession to the throne.It's a mutually beneficial thing.

But that was the Xiao Yichen who used to weigh the pros and cons, and who would hide himself to cater to others and live cautiously, not the him now, not the him after meeting Jing Yi!

Rong Hui, who had been pretending that he didn't exist, held his breath. For some reason, he just felt that his master was going to make trouble?With Mr. Jingyi standing in the middle, even if these girls descended from heaven, the master probably wouldn't take a second look, after all, they are all women...

Their master likes Jing Yi... and Jing Yi is a man... In terms of gender, these girls lose, okay?
Xiao Yichen, who thought he would nod his head and agree to the arrangement, became silent at this moment, without saying a word.Xiao Qixing frowned and looked at him fixedly.

As if something had been decided, Xiao Yichen raised his head, still gently raised the corners of his lips, and said in a submissive tone: "My father has worked so hard for my son, and my son is both grateful and moved. My son also agrees with what my father said. Age, it is true that a woman should be selected to live in the middle palace. But I am afraid that this son will disappoint the emperor this time."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qixing asked with a frown.

"My son wants to postpone the selection of the crown princess." Looking at Xiao Qixing firmly, Xiao Yichen made his decision.

"Why?" No one dared to disobey the emperor, not even his own son, Xiao Qixing's face darkened in an instant.

The eunuch at the side could guess Xiao Qixing's thoughts a little bit, since His Royal Highness said that he didn't want to choose the princess concubine, the atmosphere in the palace has been suppressed, and there is a vague sense of murderousness.I can't help but sweat for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Rong Hui tried his best to control his trembling legs, so as not to let himself kneel on the spot.

Xiao Yichen lifted his robe straight from his back and knelt down, bowed to Xiao Qixing before saying: "I know that I am reckless, so I will first apologize to my father. The selection of one of the crown princesses is postponed. My body has not recovered yet, and the imperial doctors have been hanging me for a long time." So, just like what my father saw, there have been repetitions in the past few days. The matter of choosing a concubine cannot be sloppy, and it is cumbersome. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it through. If something goes wrong, it will lose the face of the royal family. The second is that the murderer who chased and killed the son has not been found, if we marry the crown princess now, maybe the other party will get worse after being provoked, and the son is weak, not to mention the crown prince, even I may not be able to protect myself."

He said two reasons in succession, both of which were closely related to Xiao Yichen's own life and death. For a while, Xiao Qixing was almost laughed out of anger, even if he was unhappy, he had to think carefully.

"The national teacher said that the woman on the sixth day of June can help you. Maybe after you get married, your health will get better?" Xiao Qixing thought for a moment, and his heart was moved by Xiao Yichen's words, and he became worried.But thinking about the last words of the national teacher, I couldn't help but say a word of persuasion.

"I haven't seen the Art of Destiny with my own eyes, so I don't know if it's true or not. Maybe it's good for my father to say that I'm timid, but I don't dare to gamble." Like the younger generation playing tricks on the elders, Xiao Yichen's tone became less The seriousness just now has more smiles.

Seeing him like Xiao Qixing felt a little better, seeing his son's resolute expression, he sighed in his heart.It is true that the assassination matter has not yet come to light, and what Chen'er said is not unreasonable.Or should we postpone the selection of concubine?

or……

Could it be that Chen'er already has someone he likes?
