Yan Cigui.

"That makes sense." The Holy Majesty listened very well.

This is what a married couple needs.

The husband and wife have a harmonious relationship, support and assist each other in life, and they will be a companion when they grow old.

The purpose of his pointing out the marriage was for the good of Xu Jian, if he created a couple who were bitter, it would be better not pointing out.

Seeing his expression, the imperial concubine knew that the sage must have thought of Empress Xia.

She sips the sweet soup.

Don't say that the Holy Majesty drank a little wine today and got confused, she didn't drink it, and she didn't control her mouth, she said a few more words.

Forget it, just take it as a favor.

After all, if Fu Guogong hadn't rescued the crown prince, the harem would be in chaos. How could she be safe and comfortable as an imperial concubine?

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine took a look at the Holy One.

The prince is indeed somewhat immature in dealing with the world, and it is reasonable for the Holy Majesty to want to twist it.

As the crown prince of a country, he will shoulder the burden of the world in the future.

Although the Holy Majesty is in his prime of life and the reserve position is established early, there are advantages and disadvantages, but there is still a lot of time left for the prince to grow up, and he is not stable enough now, will he be stable in 30 years?

Now, in addition to San Gong's guidance, several elders have been appointed as Shaoshi, Shaobao, and Shaofu to teach the prince.

The Holy Majesty had high hopes for the prince, and had appointed two companions in the early years, and they got on well with the prince, but unfortunately, one had smallpox, and the other's mother died of illness and was in mourning, so the prince had no companions of the same age by his side.

Now I want to choose a young peer with a higher status than the companion, with the purpose of twisting and urging His Royal Highness, the Holy Majesty's idea can't be said to be wrong.

Just ...

The imperial concubine quickly glanced at the Holy One again.

It's just that this job should never be handed over to Duke Fu.

How did Duke Fu get his leg injury? There are rumors outside, but the imperial concubine did not believe the rumors. Instead, she pieced together some inside information from the usual words of the Holy Majesty.

In the spring of last year, the crown prince visited Yumen Pass on behalf of the sage and stayed for more than ten days.

During this period, the soldiers fought several battles with Xiliang soldiers, and there was another big victory.

It was a very good thing, the prince stayed at the closed door and said some good words to boost the morale of the army, but I don't know how he made a fuss, he dared to go out of the closed gate without many people following him, and finally met Xiliang soldiers.

If it hadn't been for Duke Fu who brought people to rescue him in time, the crown prince would either come back dead or be taken as a prisoner.

Duke Fu resolved the prince's crisis and saved the court's face, but injured his own leg.

After returning to Beijing, no news spread everywhere, only that he was injured on the battlefield, and nothing about the prince was mentioned from the beginning to the end.

Furthermore, the battle report sent back did not mention that Fu Guogong was injured at all. I asked here and there, but I couldn’t make up a specific time when he was injured. Slowly, some bad rumors emerged. come out.

In Cuihua Palace, that is to say, His Majesty knew that she had a tight mouth and a calm mind, and would occasionally confide in her a few words that had nowhere to be said, which made her guess so many clues.

However, the inside story may not be that simple, it cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and there are some situations that she does not know about.

She only knew that the Holy Majesty was furious that day, the door of the imperial study was closed, and only the prince was scolded inside.

After so many years in the palace, the imperial concubine never knew that the Holy Majesty could be so angry.

In the end, everything was suppressed, that is, when the emperor mentioned Fu Guogong a few times, he would say "I have guilt in my heart".

Fu Guogong never explained the injury to the outside world, which may have something to do with His Majesty.

The Holy Majesty didn't want the matter to spread.

After all, the crown prince is a crown prince, and he sneaked out of the customs without obeying the rules, and also made a young general unable to fight again, and the censors could scold him for more than three years.

The mouths of this group of elders are very good at turning over old accounts, and when there is any movement in the back door, and when the DPRK sends troops to the central government, they can turn them out and scold them.

Thinking about it this way, the imperial concubine also understood Xu Jian's choice very well.

It would be better to be misunderstood by myself than to be the reason for the crown prince to be scolded from then on.

It's really a matter of fighting for a moment. Every day, I hear the censors scolding His Highness the Crown Prince for two quarters of an hour, once or twice.

The prince went up to the court, and the Duke of Fu also went up to the court, standing together in front of the imperial court.

One day the crown prince is sitting, but the Duke Fu is still standing, and if this excuse is used, can he still get it?

The censors dealt with it impartially and discussed the matter according to the facts, but the person being judged felt really uncomfortable.

The crown prince is not feeling well, and the Duke Fu is even more uncomfortable.

A good life-saving kindness may become a life-saving talisman...

The imperial concubine thought to herself, Duke Fu is a smart person, and the Holy Majesty protects the crown prince and also Duke Fu.

I just don’t know if His Majesty can point out a wise man to a girl he likes.

Regarding the matter of marriage, the Holy Majesty thought about it all night.

The next day after court, he sat in the royal study, without rushing to approve the papers, and spread out another sheet of paper to list the names of the girls of the same family and age.

He also couldn't remember so much, so he wrote one or two, and asked Cao Eunuch a few words.

If Eunuch Cao couldn't remember his name, he wrote the official position of an elder as a count.

The meal in Cuihua Palace was served by the imperial concubine last night. Eunuch Cao didn’t know what the majesty’s intention was, but only speculated: the prince is not young, the majesty is going to choose the princess?
Such a column is full of a sheet of paper.

The servant outside reported that it was Duke Fu who came.

Xu Jian entered, saluted respectfully, and handed the case file to Eunuch Cao: "The case in Shuntian Mansion has been closed, and on behalf of Lord Shan, I will present the case file to the Holy Majesty for review."

The Holy Majesty accepted it, put it aside, and motioned him to sit down: "I'll see later."

Xu Jian sat down and straightened her back.

Previously, he had met the Holy Master, and after the incident in Shuntian Mansion, he decided where to go next.

The Holy Majesty had no intention of telling him to drink tea and play chess every day and not do anything. It's not a problem if he just refuses. It's better to pick an idle yamen first.

Xu Jian was about to bring it up, but saw that the Holy Majesty's eyes fell on the unknown paper in front of him, seemingly concentrating on it, but also seemed to be a little distracted.

Thinking about it, Xu Jian asked Eunuch Cao with his eyes.

Eunuch Cao also observed His Majesty's actions, and after careful consideration, he understood.

These two pieces of paper are not about choosing the crown princess, but because the Holy Majesty wants to marry Duke Fu, but he doesn't know whether the Duke is interested, so he simply let him choose from the names...

Eunuch Cao swallowed his saliva with a stiff face.

It's a good idea, that's the thing to do...

Of course, this is definitely not a problem with the Holy Majesty.

After all, the Holy Majesty is the Holy Majesty, and it is already hard work to think of what he likes and let people choose for themselves.

It's the job of the servants like them to ponder their minds and guess their preferences all day long!

Otherwise, why do you need him?
Serving tea and water, the little servants who have just entered the palace can do it.

"Ahem." Eunuch Cao cleared his throat.

The Holy Majesty came back to his senses, and cast a suspicious glance at Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao shook his head slightly at the Holy Master.

The Holy Majesty didn't understand, but just motioned Eunuch Cao to pass the paper to Xu Jian.

Eunuch Cao took the paper, but did not hand it out, turned his back to Xu Jian, and sued the Holy One for eye contact.

Your Majesty: ...
