Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Come on, Yin'er, try these sugar oranges. These are sugar oranges that the Chamber of Commerce has just brought back from Lingxi by boat. I heard they are the sweetest in the area. They are all fruits produced by trees that are nearly a hundred years old. They are very sweet! "

In the palace, Zhao Jun peeled a sugar orange for his wife with his own hands and handed it to his daughter-in-law.

Ye Yin took the sugar orange and put it in her mouth angrily.

It is indeed very sweet, but he still said in a strange way: "How can I dare to trouble Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the emperor, and you have to peel sugar oranges for me personally. If this spreads out, the ministers will not say that I am a shrew. Got it!"

"Who? Who dares! My mother-in-law is so gentle and considerate, who dares to say that she is a shrew, I will punish her nine tribes!"

Zhao Jun quickly expressed his stance!

It looked like he was about to go on a killing spree.

Don't blame him for not being so cautious. Who knows that this master is jealous now?

When I went to see Empress Dowager Zhang to pay her respects a few days ago, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly mentioned the issue of the few heirs of the Tian family and cited the example of the late emperor and the late emperor.

The two had four or five children, but in the end only one or two survived. The royal family had fewer children and were easier to consume. Now he only had one son. For the royal family, this heir was too thin.

Immediately after talking, the target of the blame turned to Ye Yin, saying that as a queen, he should not be too domineering, and should let His Majesty get more rain and dew, and produce more heirs for the royal family. This is a major event of royal inheritance, and he cannot follow his own temper. Come.

Ever since, my adoptive mother had to make arrangements to choose a concubine for herself.

Ye Yin, who was dissed, was naturally unhappy. In addition, she had to choose a concubine for Zhao Jun, and she had been constantly yin and yang in the past few days. Zhao Jun was really fed up with yin and yang, so he could only lower his body to please her.

On the side, Zhao Jian was peeling sugar oranges by himself, looking at his father, the emperor and his mother, and snickering.

When Zhao Jun saw it, he snatched the peeled sugar tangerine and handed it to his wife. At the same time, he said: "Children who eat so much sweet food may get cavities. Give it to your mother, she is an adult now!" "

Zhao Jian was stunned when he saw that only the bare skin of the sugar tangerine that he had finally peeled was left. He stayed for a while to react, and his eyes instantly filled with tears.

But at this moment, Ye Yin's tiger eyes glared over instantly!

"Crying? Why are you crying? Your father is going to find you more mothers and give you more brothers to compete with you. You don't have a sense of crisis yet, so you still want to cry?"

Zhao Jian was hit by this, and the tears on his face were instantly suppressed. He just held them back forcibly, looking extremely aggrieved.

Zhao Jun suddenly said aggrievedly: "Yin'er, what you said is not that I want to choose a concubine, this is something that my mother insists on choosing. How can this be my decision? Besides, why should I?" If you give birth to a few sons and compete with this brat for your position, please don’t slander anyone.”

Ye Yin immediately glared over: "How come I still wronged you?"

Zhao Jun whispered, "Isn't it?"

"Okay! I have misjudged the wrong person after all. You really..."

Looking at Ye Yin who was crying, Zhao Jun was dumbfounded. He turned to look at Zhao Jian who was still holding back his tears but did not dare to cry. He was angry and did not dare to express his anger. He immediately changed his target and kicked this brat. Got a butt.

"What are you looking at, you brat! Have you finished your homework for today?

You are the Crown Prince and you know how to play all day long. When can I retire?

Why don't you go study? ! "

Zhao Jian: "???"

(I’m only four years old! You want to retire, you’re too unbecoming a father! It’s obvious that you took it out on me when you were angry, Zhu En’en, and you still talk about yourself so high-sounding!

I'm still a little kid! )

"Woah woah woah! I'm going to find Grandma Huang, woah woah woah..."

Zhao Jian ran out of Kunning Palace crying.

Zhao Jun ignored him and continued to comfort his wife.

At this time, outside the palace, the civil and military officials in the court were all excited about the news of the selection of the concubine.

Ever since the news spread in the palace three days ago that Empress Dowager Zhang Shengshen was going to choose a concubine for His Majesty, the whole court was shaken. The Ministry of Rites immediately made preparations. Cui Wen, who has always been stingy in the Ministry of Households, was the first to All the money that should be given was allocated at once, without any delay.

The Ministry of Household Affairs immediately selected the household registrations and locations of all eligible women in the world and sent them to the Ministry of Rites for reference.

No wonder they were so excited. The current generation of heirs was indeed too thin. Royal heirs were always prone to premature death. It was too dangerous to have only one heir. This was an important issue related to the inheritance of the world.

The royal family has so few heirs that the people below them are also worried!

However, the emperor's harem only consisted of a queen and a few concubines, which were not even as many as some of their families. How could this look like that?

Only four of the late emperor's three palaces and six courtyards finally reached adulthood. In the end, only Miaomiao was left in front of him. Now there was only a crown prince. What if something happened to him?

Besides, there was only one crown prince, so wouldn't they just have to watch Ye Wei, a warrior, become the head of the country?

It seems that His Majesty is now a warrior. If the next emperor is still a warrior, how can they bear it?

Only if there are many princes can they have a chance!

Moreover, it is in line with the principles and ethics to continue to have royal heirs!

Who says they can't be the uncle and father-in-law of the country!

Bros! The opportunity to reach the sky in one step is here! Why don't you catch it quickly? Isn’t it stupid!

In summary, all the officials became excited.

He began to use all kinds of connections to put his family's daughters, nieces, granddaughters and even granddaughters on the selection list of the Ministry of Etiquette. He even tried his best to make his daughter stand out.

How could Zhang He, the prime minister, be indifferent to such a major event?

As soon as I received the news, I returned home and found my granddaughter Zhang Yuyan.

Zhang Mansion.

"Yu Yan, news just came from the palace that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are going to choose a concubine for Your Majesty."

"When you choose a concubine, you choose a concubine. What does this have to do with your granddaughter..."

Zhang Yuyan, who was hammering Zhang He's back, suddenly paused in her casual reply and stopped moving her hands as she realized what her grandfather meant.

Zhang He put down the tea cup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly and said slowly:

"You are already eighteen this year, and you are already an old girl. Grandpa has found so many talented people for you before, but you still don't like them. If you continue to choose like this, it will be really difficult for you to get married. Grandpa can't see you. Married and had children.

Sigh... Grandpa is getting older too, so I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for many more years. "

"Grandpa! What are you talking about? Do you really want to marry Yan'er off?"

Zhang Yuyan said angrily.

Zhang He sighed and said: "Grandpa, I don't know what you will do if I really leave in the future!

This time it happens that His Majesty is choosing a concubine. If you are interested, with Grandpa's methods and status, one of the four concubines will definitely have a place for you.

If you don't want to, then decide as soon as possible which Junxiu family you want to choose to marry, so that grandpa can have his great-grandchild early and save grandpa from worrying in the future.

While grandpa is still strong, he can still help you and your wife. "

"Grandpa~"

Zhang Yuyan still wanted to fool her by acting coquettishly, but Zhang He seemed to be determined this time, unmoved at all, and just waited for her to give an answer.

After a long silence, Zhang Yuyan thought of the heroic man she saw at the New Year's banquet. She finally felt convinced and finally answered:

"My granddaughter is willing to enter the palace."

Zhang He slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Wait for grandpa to make arrangements for you."

……

Not only Zhang He, but also countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries began to exert their efforts in this selection of concubines.

A concubine selection has gradually evolved into a battlefield where all forces compete!

Whoever can send more of their own female family members into the palace, and how high these women can climb in the palace, will have more say in the court.

A silent smoke of gunpowder began to fill the entire Bianjing city.

The Minister of Etiquette, who originally thought it was a good thing, was dumbfounded when he saw the letters of introduction all over the table!
