The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 169
Standing in the inner hall, a bitter smile appeared on Wei Jinyang's face. After all, he was reluctant to force her, otherwise he would have really wanted her just now.And she also knew the heavy reluctance deep in her heart, so she dared to hold it without fear, but it won't be long before he will let her voluntarily agree to marry him.

An Fu sent Li Meiying away and returned to the imperial study. When he saw the bitter smile on Wei Jinyang's face, he stepped forward and asked in puzzlement, "Your majesty, why didn't you tell the princess your real identity? If she knew Your true identity will not be treated indifferently."

Looking at An Fu, Wei Jinyang suppressed the bitter smile on his face, patted An Fu on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "I can't tell her my real identity yet, it will bring her danger, besides, I'm just a newcomer However, there are still factors of instability in the court, if the secret of my true identity is leaked out, it will definitely cause a big military disaster, and the ordinary people will suffer.”

Hearing this, An Fu can't say anything more. He has been serving Wei Jinyang since he was a child, and he knows the master's temperament best. He is affectionate and righteous, benevolent and benevolent. There are many twists and turns.

Not long after Li Meiying left, Prime Minister Zhong came to the imperial study. Wei Jinyang hurriedly closed the folder in his hand, got up and walked down the imperial case to help Prime Minister Zhong and said, "Prime Minister Zhong, what is the matter with you entering the palace at this hour."

Prime Minister Zhong looked at Wei Jinyang's overly handsome face, and thought about what King Jingxian had entrusted him with, he thought twice before he said: "Your Majesty, this humble minister has come to the palace this time for his personal affairs. , it's time to draft a list of concubines to enrich the harem."

Hearing this, Wei Jinyang's expression did not change. He turned around and sat back in front of the imperial case, and said with a friendly smile, "Uncle Jingxian entrusted you to come here. Why didn't he enter the palace to talk to me about this matter?" explain."

When Prime Minister Zhong heard the words, he laughed and said: "King Jingxian said that my minister had once been the emperor's concubine. Now that the late emperor is not here, only Weichen can intervene in this kind of family affairs. The concubine is not just a simple family matter, it is also related to state affairs, it is reasonable for the humble minister to speak out."

Hearing this, Wei Jinyang laughed and said: "Uncle Jingxian is afraid that he will come forward and say that he will put pressure on me as an elder, but for you, Zhongxiang, the meaning is different. Uncle Emperor is reminding me that we should put the country first Family, state affairs must be the most important thing at all times, and the royal family's incense can be inherited, not just for me to marry a wife and have children, but to consolidate the foundation of the country. I actually understand these things. It is only the father who died. I really don't have that mood , let’s talk about everything in the spring of next year!”

Prime Minister Zhong is the closest courtier of Emperor Cheng, so he naturally knew Wei Jinyang's thoughts, sighed, and said bravely: "Although the emperor died only before, it is really not suitable for the emperor to have a big marriage, but you can make a queen first." Candidates, as for the fourth concubine, you can also choose two candidates first, as for the other positions, you can fill them in later."

"Does Zhongxiang mean to make an internal appointment first, and then hold the canonization ceremony after the three-month filial piety period?" What should come always comes, and finally Wei Jinyang let go, but he also has his own part in his heart. Fan idea.

"The emperor must have a suitable candidate in his heart for the queen's candidate. As for the concubine, the candidate can be decided now, or after the spring of next year, there will be a draft to choose." Zhong Chengxiang smiled and said tactfully.

Thinking that King Jingxian was still waiting for Prime Minister Zhong's reply, Wei Jinyang gave a definite answer: "I am sure that there is already a candidate for the empress. The Concubine Gui will choose a few virtuous and virtuous ladies from the famous families in Beijing to be canonized! This time I don’t want to make a fuss, and I will do everything frugally.”

After getting the answer he wanted, Prime Minister Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, saluted and exited the imperial study. After Prime Minister Zhong left, An Fu made a new cup of tea for Wei Jinyang and said, "Your Majesty, you are bound to stay in the harem for this concubine. This... ..." An Fu couldn't say the rest.

Wei Jinyang didn't pay much attention to Anfu's worries, he just smiled lightly, and told Anfu: "Anfu, you secretly investigate the homes of the ministers in the capital, no matter if they are beautiful or not, A very scheming woman, give me their detailed background checks."

An Fu didn't know what Wei Jinyang's real intention was. He wanted to ask clearly, but he opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything. He just responded, "Yes, I'll do it now, my slave."

After Li Meizhen left the palace, she went straight to the eldest princess's mansion, and the housekeeper warmly welcomed her into the main building.In the main hall of the main building, the eldest princess was drinking tea, when she saw Li Meiying coming, she hurriedly got up to greet her: "Xiaoer, it's snowing heavily today, why are you here?"

Li Meiying thought that the eldest princess knew why and asked, but she smiled calmly and said, "Today I went to the palace to visit the noble concubine and got some good news, so I came to share it with the eldest princess."

"Greetings to Princess Yao Huang, Princess Wanfu." Li Sisterin just finished speaking, and a soft voice came in.

Li Meiying followed the sound and looked, and saw a beautiful young woman standing behind the eldest princess. She knew that this person was the eldest princess' concubine for her concubine. Her beautiful eyes moved down and fixed on the concubine's protruding belly. Knowing in her heart, it's no wonder the eldest princess let this beautiful concubine rub her shoulders and back for her. It turned out that this beautiful concubine was pregnant with a child, and she deliberately tormented the other party to let the other party remember that she was just a lowly status as a concubine.

"Freedom from courtesy." Li Sister-in-law smiled and said kindly after knowing what the eldest princess was thinking.

The eldest princess was eager to know the so-called good news from Li Meiying's mouth, so she said to the beautiful concubine impatiently: "Okay, let's stop here today, you step back, I will talk to Princess Yaohuang alone."

Hearing that, the beautiful concubine breathed a sigh of relief, gave a blessing to the eldest princess and Li Sister-in-law, then supported the maid's hand, and walked out of the main hall slowly.

Looking at the back of the concubine leaving, Li Sister-in-law said with a half-smile: "Sister-in-law is going to congratulate the eldest princess, you are about to have a son."

The eldest princess knew the real reason for her infertility for many years because of Li Meiying's reminder, so she was not surprised when Li Meiying said this, but she thought of pushing her husband to other women and letting other women help her. Her husband passed on the incense, and the feeling was extremely unpleasant, so she said in a strange way: "Son? I hope, don't be born as a loser."

Li Meiying didn't say anything when she heard the words, she just changed the subject and said: "I met the emperor today, Xianling is now the default queen, but the official order will not be issued now, so the eldest princess will have to look at it later." Song Xianling, don't let her get into trouble and lose the Queen's position that I managed to win for her."
