Chapter 109
"Well, brother emperor is so pitiful." Han Qian nodded.

"So, let's choose a few dignified, virtuous and good-looking girls to accompany him in the palace, so that he won't be alone."

"..." Although this sounded reasonable, Han Qian still didn't take it seriously. She didn't dare to refute her mother, so she kept silent.

The eldest princess knew what she was thinking by seeing her expression, so she asked: "Why, do you think what mother said is wrong?"

"No." Han Qian shook his head.The eldest princess wanted to say something more, but a maid outside replied, "Back to the eldest princess, the second wife is here."

The Eldest Princess smiled indifferently, with a stern look in her eyes, she raised her head and told the maid next to her: "Clean up all these, please come in, Second Wife."

"Mother, let me go out for a while." Han Qian took the opportunity to say.

"Go." The next thing really shouldn't be known to children, so the Eldest Princess nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Yongyihou's Mrs. Zhou came from her niece. Ever since Anyihou's birthday, Han Jianchen and Han Jianyuan joined hands to lead troops to block the surrounding of Anyihou's mansion. After Anyihou used Han Jun to blackmail the Han family, Zhou's He was sent to the Buddhist hall by Han Jianyuan to eat fast and chant Buddha, but he fell ill after a month or so, and now he is in bed with soup and medicine, and he has lost most of his life.

Similarly, the fate of the Zhou family in the Anyihou Mansion is also precarious like this married woman.

So taking advantage of this emperor's beauty pageant to fill the harem, the Zhou family also thought a lot about it. It was not easy to send the daughter of the main branch of the Zhou family to participate in the election, so they selected four or five girls of the right age from side branches and in-law families to make portraits. The book was sent to the Ministry of Rites.

The second wife came here because of this.

Although they are sisters-in-law, there is still a difference between monarch and minister.What's more, the status of the Zhou family is awkward now, and the second wife gave a big gift to the eldest princess after entering the door, and her attitude was much more respectful than usual.

The Eldest Princess didn't make things difficult for her too much, but after she kowtowed three times, she raised her hand and said, "Second Wife, please get up, the family still has so much courtesy."

"Thank you, Eldest Princess, the national ceremony cannot be discarded." The second wife thanked her and stood up slowly.

The eldest princess fiddled with the post in her hand casually, and asked with a faint smile: "The second wife is coming from niece Ling?"

"That's right! The child is getting more and more ill, which is really worrying." Mrs. Zhou sighed and took the fragrant tea handed over by the maid next to her, while opening the lid of the cup and blowing the powdered tea, "She looks so bitter It's Jianyuan."

"Men, it's okay to suffer a little bit." The eldest princess said lightly.

"That being said, the reason for this matter... is that the Zhou family did something wrong." Mrs. Zhou put down the teacup with a smile, got up and walked to the eldest princess, and asked in a low voice: "I have a proposal here. , I just don’t know what the Eldest Princess means.”

"What proposal?" The Eldest Princess asked casually.

"That day, my mother told me that there are a few concubine daughters in the family who are well-bred. If the eldest princess agrees, ask them to come over to greet you some other day?"

The eldest princess was taken aback, and the big red post in her hand snapped shut, then she raised her head and looked at Mrs. Zhou with a chuckle: "Is the second wife cursing your niece to die early?"

"Uh, this..." Mrs. Zhou was so blocked by the Eldest Princess that she could not speak.

The eldest princess smiled again, and asked, "Maybe the daughter of your Zhou family can come in and be a concubine?"

"Well, of course concubines can't do it." Mrs. Zhou said with a sneer.

"Isn't this the end? It's too early for you to say this now." The eldest princess took the tea handed over by the maid, took a sip, and swallowed it slowly.

"I'm not thinking of Jianyuan." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.

The eldest princess sneered slightly: "Thank you, no need."

Mrs. Zhou was extremely embarrassed. According to previous reports, she had left in a hurry, but not today. The main purpose of her coming here today was not Han Jianyuan and his wife, but the girls sent by her natal family.

The eldest princess didn't speak, Madam Zhou could only find something to say, she reached out her hand cheekily to take a post, opened it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, these are the girls who will be elected into the palace? "

"Yeah, there are a few relatives of the Zhou family, the second wife doesn't know?" the eldest princess said lightly.

"I know about that." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly apologized with a smile, "To tell you the truth, this is exactly why I came to the eldest princess right now."

"Oh?" The eldest princess smiled lightly and picked Xiumei.

"I've seen those girls before. Needless to say, they look beautiful, and they all have excellent temperaments. The most important thing is to know who treats her well and to be grateful. So, I ask the Eldest Princess to support them a lot." Madam Zhou laughed.

"The second wife is really joking." The eldest princess shook her head in a funny way, and asked unhurriedly: "Don't say that this palace is working for the emperor, those girls from your Zhou family can't get into the emperor's house." It’s hard to tell, but now I’ll just talk about the friendship between Ben Gong and your Zhou family—why do you think that after your good brother put a sword on my grandson’s neck and wanted his life, I would still help Zhou? Home?" As she said that, the eldest princess raised her hand and patted the table, with an angry expression on her face: "I didn't take the sword to kill that old bastard Zhou Chaozuo, it's already good!"

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback by the suddenly angry eldest princess, subconsciously dodged backwards, and almost fell off the stool.

"Ming people in this palace don't do secret things, and I'm not afraid to tell you." The eldest princess said, raised her hand and picked up a stack of posts from the side and shook it at Mrs. Zhou, "I've told you all about it a long time ago." Those who are related to the family have been picked out, and they are here. Here, I will save the famous posts and portraits of these girls one by one, and they will not be sent to the pen at all, so you can rest assured now!"

"You... how could you do this?!" Mrs. Zhou asked in embarrassment.

"Why can't I do this?" The Eldest Princess asked funnyly, "If the emperor entrusts this matter to me, I have the right to take down those unqualified girls. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a loser? The emperor's trust?"

"You're not afraid, you're not afraid..." Mrs. Zhou was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't speak clearly.

"What are you afraid of? What is there for me to be afraid of?" The Eldest Princess sneered, "If you are not convinced, just go back and tell Zhou Chaozuo to impeach me! Bengong is waiting."

"You, you, you..." Mrs. Zhou looked at the eldest princess and felt a chill down her spine—this woman has always liked to keep her face, why does she seem to be a different person now?

"See off the guests." The eldest princess waved her long sleeves.

The nurse next to her came forward and saluted Madam Zhou: "Second Madam, I will see you off."

"The eldest princess is so majestic! I hope your majesty will last forever!" Madam Zhou gritted her teeth and got up, blessed the eldest princess, turned and left.
