Reborn eldest daughter

However, no matter what everyone thinks, it doesn't matter anymore.Because of Situ Lingzhi's promise, all princes' concubines have already been born.

After all the princes had chosen their main concubines, Situ Lingzhi pointed out one or two side concubines to each prince.Among them, Zhao Keren got his wish and married the prince, but not the main concubine, but the side concubine.

Soon, Situ Lingzhi decreed the marriage.However, only the main concubines have the imperial decree to bestow marriage, and those side concubines do not have the imperial edict to grant marriage. After all, it is just a concubine's room, it's no big deal.However, although the decree has been issued to grant marriages, although the concubines of the princes have been selected, but among the selected women, there are several who have not yet reached the screen, so the wedding date still needs to be considered in the long run.

Zhao Song, who has been watching everything from below, only feels that his mood has never been as ups and downs as it is today in his whole life.He just felt that everything seemed to be beyond his expectations. Originally, he thought that Keren would definitely shine in the concubine selection banquet and become the crown princess.However, it is Ke Ran who shines at the Concubine Selection Banquet, and Ke Ren has not been able to become the Crown Princess.However, despite this, Zhao Song is still very satisfied with today's results. His eldest daughter became Princess Xu, and although his second daughter failed to become the Crown Princess as she wished, she also became the Prince's side concubine. It is also very good.Especially after seeing that Zhao Keping was not selected, he was even more satisfied with the result.

Situ Lingzhi smiled and said, "Very good, this concubine selection banquet is over, and all my princes have already selected the right concubine in their hearts. This is very good. However, ladies You have worked hard today, so you go back to Chuxiu Palace to rest, and tonight, I will entertain you with a banquet. You will stay in the palace for another day, and someone will send you out of the palace tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ladies of each family hurriedly knelt down to thank you.

Soon, the ladies of each family left the hall and returned to Chuxiu Palace.As soon as he returned to Chuxiu Palace, Zhao Keran wanted to talk to Lin Xiuxiu, but he had no chance at all.

As soon as they returned to Chuxiu Palace, all the young ladies immediately came forward and surrounded the young ladies who had just been selected as princesses, and kept saying congratulatory words.Although they were not selected, they were very depressed.However, these are all the ladies taught by the big family, so they naturally know that the overall situation must be the most important.Therefore, no matter how jealous he was in his heart, he still had a sincere smile on his face and said things against his will.Even if they can't become princesses, they still need to establish a good relationship with these future princesses, which will be very beneficial to their future.

Among them, Qin Yimiao had the most people around, because she became the crown princess.However, there were quite a few people around Zhao Keran, so it was almost impossible for Zhao Keran to talk to Lin Xiuxiu in the past.Moreover, Lin Xiuxiu has also become Princess Yun, and there are many young ladies around her.However, although there was no way to talk to Lin Xiuxiu, seeing Lin Xiuxiu's smiling face made Zhao Keran feel more at ease.

After today's concubine selection banquet, Qin Yimiao was very tired.After finally getting rid of the group of ladies who wanted to get along with her, Qin Yimiao finally returned to the courtyard where she lived.

I don't know whether to say that Qin Yimiao's luck is good or that Zhao Keren's luck is bad. As soon as Qin Yimiao stepped into the courtyard where he lived, he saw Zhao Keren.

It's like thinking too much.Seeing Qin Yimiao walking into the yard, Zhao Keren's first reaction was to go back to the room.Today, she is a loser, so she doesn't want to see Qin Yimiao, it will remind herself all the time that she lost to Qin Yimiao, and even Zhao Keran, even Zhao Keran can become King Xu The main concubine, but she is just a little side concubine.

"Oh, cousin Keren, why are you leaving in such a hurry!" Seeing that Zhao Keran wanted to leave, Qin Yimiao immediately stopped her, "could it be that cousin Keren felt that she didn't want to face me, that's why she had to leave?" So fast."

After hearing Qin Yimiao's words, Zhao Keren knew that he might not be able to leave. If he left now, wouldn't that mean that he had surrendered?

Thinking of this, Zhao Keren raised a bright smile, turned his head, and looked at Qin Yimiao, "It turned out to be Cousin Yimiao! Why am I afraid to face you! But, just now I really I'm too tired, so I didn't see you, Cousin Yimiao, you think too much."

"Really?" Seeing Zhao Keren's forced smile, Qin Yimiao felt very happy in her heart, "In this case, then, cousin Keren, would you like to come and sit in my room? Just right, our sisters The two of you can have a good chat, can't you?"

Hearing Qin Yimiao's invitation, Zhao Keren was filled with resentment.What is Qin Yimiao doing now? Does she want to demonstrate to herself?Did she think she was already a winner by now?It's not that easy.She knew what Qin Yimiao wanted to do, didn't she just want to take the opportunity to humiliate herself?she dreams.

Zhao Keren smiled and said, "I also really want to have a detailed talk with you, Cousin Yimiao, but after the concubine selection banquet, I feel a little tired and want to take a rest. I will be more energetic when the time comes Yes, I will definitely visit."

"Really?" Seeing Zhao Keren's appearance, Qin Yimiao felt very happy in her heart, "Yes, although Keren's cousin's performance is not outstanding, but it is also carefully prepared, so it is understandable to be tired Well, actually I am the same, but I don’t know if it’s because of such a happy event, so although I’m a little tired, I’m in good spirits!”

Hearing the insinuation of the Ming Dynasty in Qin Yimiao's words, Zhao Ke gritted his teeth angrily, and said, not to be outdone, "Yes, although your literary talent and talent are not the most outstanding, Cousin Yimiao, you were still selected. With such good luck, no wonder you are in such good spirits now?"

Zhao Keren's words clearly mean that Qin Yimiao did not rely on her strength to become the princess, but just luck.Qin Yimiao is not an idiot either, she knows what Zhao Keren means.Therefore, upon hearing what Zhao Keren said, Qin Yimiao's good mood was immediately ruined.

Zhao Keren and Qin Yimiao stood in the courtyard like this, facing each other.Fortunately, there are not many people in this yard, so no one saw their performance.

When Zhao Keran entered the courtyard where he lived, he saw such a scene. Zhao Keren and Qin Yimiao talked with smiles on their faces, but the meaning in the words was full of gunpowder.Not only that, they all had hatred in their eyes.Seeing such a scene, Zhao Keran couldn't help laughing in his heart. It seems that His Royal Highness should have a wonderful life in the future!With such two people in the backyard, it's impossible not to be lively!

However, Zhao Keran didn't want to make any jokes because he was still in the palace, so he pretended to come in just now, and greeted him with a smile, "Cousin Yimiao, darling, why are you all standing here!"

Seeing Zhao Keran's appearance, Qin Yimiao's Zhao Keren immediately put away the tit-for-tat look just now, and the expression on his face became very gentle.

Although Zhao Keran stole his face at the concubine selection banquet just now, Qin Yimiao didn't hate Zhao Keran very much in his heart.After all, no matter what, I am already the princess now, and Zhao Keran reminded me about the prince and Zhao Keren before.Besides, Zhao Keran is now Princess Xu, and it is absolutely necessary to make friends with her.

So as soon as Zhao Keran appeared, Qin Yimiao smiled and said, "So it's Cousin Keran! I haven't had time to congratulate you yet! You are Princess Xu now."

Zhao Keran is not an idiot, so she can still see Qin Yimiao's overtures.So after seeing Qin Yimiao's appearance, Zhao Keran also raised a smile and said, "Where is it, if I really want to congratulate you, then I should congratulate you too! You must know that cousin, you are She is already a quasi-princess, and it is really worth celebrating! Uncle and aunt will be very happy when they find out."

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Qin Yimiao's mood became even better, "Hehe, we are happy together."

Seeing Qin Yimiao and Zhao Keran congratulating each other, Zhao Keren really felt uncomfortable.Now Qin Yimiao is the Crown Princess and Zhao Keran is Princess Xu, both of them are higher in rank than her.Thinking of this, Zhao Keren felt upset.

Zhao Keran naturally noticed Zhao Keren's appearance, she knew Zhao Keren's current mood, "Keren, in fact, I have to congratulate you too! You have also been selected as the prince's side concubine."

After hearing Zhao Keran's congratulations, Zhao Keren forced a smile like swallowing a fly, "Yes, is it?"

Although the crown prince's side concubine is an honor to all women, it is an insult to a proud woman like Zhao Keren.She obviously had a chance to become the wife of the loyal prince, but now she has become the prince's concubine. How could she bear such a gap?

After Zhao Keren forced a smile, he said, "I'm really tired, so I won't chat with you guys. I'll go back to my room and have a rest. I have to go to the dinner later!"

Before Zhao Keran and the others opened their mouths, Zhao Keren bowed and left straight away after a half-gift.

Looking at Zhao Keren's back, Qin Yimiao's heart was also very complicated. She looked at Zhao Keran with half jealousy and half envy, and said jokingly, "Cousin, you are still lucky! Your Highness Xu Wang It has already been said that you may be a couple for the rest of your life, you see, even the emperor did not give him a side concubine. It is not like other princes! Just like the crown prince, they were all given side concubines."

Zhao Keran naturally knew what Qin Yimiao meant. She smiled and said lightly, "Cousin Yimiao, why do you care about others? The most important thing is to live your own life well. You see, although the prince I was also given a side concubine. However, you have to know that a side concubine is a side concubine. Although the name is better, she is just a concubine. Why do you care about a concubine? You have to know that although you are now It's just a crown princess, but in the future, she may be the one who is the mother of the world. But what about the side concubine? A concubine, no matter how hard she tries, it is impossible to sit in that seat. So cousin, you now All you have to do is grab the prince's heart, and that's fine. Also, when you really enter the prince's mansion, you will be a legitimate mistress, and I'm afraid that a mere side concubine will fail."

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Qin Yimiao suddenly realized.She nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Cousin Keran, you see clearly!"

Zhao Keran smiled, but did not answer.In fact, she reminded Qin Yimiao in this way, but it was for her own sake. Only when Qin Yimiao stared at Zhao Keren, would she have no chance to trouble herself, right?You must know that Qin Yimiao's rank is much higher than that of Zhao Keren, so it's better to divert her attention.

After Qin Yimiao and Zhao Keran chatted aimlessly, Zhao Keran found an excuse and went back to his room first.

After all the ladies rested for an afternoon, the dinner party was about to start again.During the dinner, the princesses-to-be sat with their future husbands.This arrangement is to allow them to communicate more, and to cultivate their relationship by the way.

The dinner went smoothly without any unexpected accidents.Zhao Keran sat with Situ Xu.The two of them are already used to getting along in normal times, so sitting together like this, the two of them don't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, there is a warm atmosphere around them, which is not available in other couples. .

Because the concubine selection banquet is over, Zhao Keran is in a very good mood now, and everything seems to be very pleasing to the eye.She felt that the performance on the stage was wonderful, the food on the table was delicious, and of course, the most important thing was the person sitting next to her.In general, Zhao Keran had a very pleasant time at this dinner party.

However, some people are happy and some people are not happy.Zhao Keren belonged to the unhappy kind. She saw that both Zhao Keran and Qin Yimiao were sitting in front, and their future husbands were sitting beside them, but she could only Sitting alone in the back.

For the first time, Zhao Keren began to wonder whether everything he had done these days was wrong?However, Zhao Keren was very clear in her heart, whether it was right or wrong, she had no way to turn back now, so she could only bite the bullet and go on.

The dinner party ended amidst laughter and laughter.After the dinner party was over, the ladies from all the families went back to their rooms to rest after they returned to Chuxiu Palace.After all, they will leave the palace the next day, and everyone still wants to take a good rest.

After Zhao Keran returned to his room, under the service of Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang, he also began to remove makeup and change clothes.But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.After hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Keran frowned, it was already so late, who was looking for him?

Zhao Keran gestured for Qin Xiang to open the door.But soon, Qin Xiang came back with a strange expression on her face.After seeing Qin Xiang's appearance, Zhao Keran laughed and joked, "Qin Xiang, what the hell are you doing! Why do you have such an expression on your face! Did you see a ghost?"

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Qin Xiang quickly shook her head, and said very seriously, "Miss, that's Eunuch Li, he's here to look for you."

"Eunuch Li?" After hearing Qin Xiang's words, Zhao Keran frowned slightly, "Are you talking about the eunuch next to the emperor, Li Fuquan?"

Qin Xiang nodded, "That's right, it's him, is he waiting outside now?"

"Did he say what it was?"

"Miss, he said that the emperor wants to see you." Qin Xiang said, "He asked you to follow him to see the emperor immediately."

Although he didn't know why the emperor wanted to see him, Zhao Keran could still guess that this should be related to Xu!After thinking about it, she ordered, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'm going to go out for a while, you don't have to follow, just stay here."

Although Qin Xiang and Shi Xiang wanted to follow, they knew their identities. The emperor and the lady had something to say, and it was impossible for them to follow, so they didn't force it.After hearing Zhao Keran's order, they could only stay in the room.

Soon, Zhao Keran followed Li Fuquan to Panlong Hall.The Panlong Palace really deserves to be the emperor's residence, not only noble and majestic, but also very particular about the decoration.However, Zhao Keran was not in such a good mood to appreciate it carefully, and she quickly entered a side hall.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Zhao Keran saw Situ Lingzhi sitting on a high seat, holding a portrait in his hand, looking at it seriously, his eyes full of love.His expression was so focused that he had even reached the state of ecstasy, and he didn't even notice that they had entered.Seeing such a scene, Zhao Keran felt very curious, what is on the portrait?It can actually make a generation of emperors show such an expression.

However, although he was curious in his heart, Zhao Keran still knew very well what he should do.She knelt down and said, "My daughter Zhao Keran is here to see the emperor."

This sound pulled Situ Lingzhi out of his thoughts, and looking at the woman kneeling below, Situ Lingzhi said, "Get up first!"

After Zhao Keran stood up, she looked around indiscriminately. In this side hall, there were only her, the emperor, and Li Fuquan.After discovering this point, Zhao Keran frowned lightly, why did the emperor call him here today?Why do you have to screen back left and right?

After seeing Zhao Keran's subtle expression, Situ Lingzhi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled gently, "But, don't worry, it's not a big deal for me to ask you today, I just want to have a good talk with you That's all." 13acv.

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, Zhao Keran became much calmer, and she was no longer worried. After calming down, she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what you want to tell me is about Xu?"

Situ Lingzhi must have known about the matter between herself and Situ Xu, so Zhao Keran didn't want to hide anything, so even in front of Situ Lingzhi, she could still call Xu by the name very intimately .

And when he heard Zhao Keran calling Situ Xu's name so intimately, Situ Lingzhi was obviously not surprised at all, he nodded with his usual expression, "Yes, I called you here today just to tell you about Xu'er Xuer is the only son Xiaoxiao gave birth to me, and he is the one I love the most. Xiaoxiao has left me, and Xuer is the only one she left for me. Everything I do now, It's for Xu'er."

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, Zhao Keran had a strange feeling in his heart, what does the emperor mean by this?Now the crown prince and King Han are competing for the throne, I know this, but the emperor has said such a thing now, does this mean that the suitable heir in his heart is not the crown prince, nor King Han, but Situ Xu.

Situ Lingzhi didn't pay attention to what Zhao Keran was thinking, but continued, "I will definitely leave the throne to Xu'er in the future, there is no doubt about it. Now, what I want to ask is, Keran, this matter ,What do you think?"

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, Zhao Keran was shocked. She didn't know why the emperor said these words to her. Even if he really wanted to leave the throne to Xu, he didn't need to tell himself!Moreover, he also asked himself what he thinks, can he express his opinion on such a matter?Why did the emperor call him here?Is it a test, or a warning?

As soon as Zhao Keran raised his head, he saw Situ Lingzhi looking at him with sharp eyes, as if he was waiting for his answer.

Zhao Keran took a deep breath, and after assessing his mood, he said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any opinion on this matter. What I care about is never this. What I care about is his heart. As long as his heart If I am here, even if he is a beggar, I will never leave him. But if one day, his heart is no longer in my body, then even if he is a high emperor, I will not hesitate turned around."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Keran raised his head and faced Situ Lingzhi's sharp eyes without any timidity.The two of them kept looking at each other like this, and neither of them was willing to look away first.
