Chapter 210

The marriage between the Seventh Prince and Lou Ya was not discussed after all. Immediately afterwards, Mother Su came to pass the news, saying that the banquet was ready.

Lou Ya got up and squatted down, serving the Empress Dowager Lou to put on her shoes, and then went to hold the hand stove intimately. King Yao and Queen Zhou helped the Empress Dowager Lou to go out from left to right. Lou Ya was like a maidservant in Shouchang Palace, hanging down He bowed his head and followed behind the Empress Dowager Lou, the expression on his face was as calm and gentle as ever.

Fang Ruxuan still remembers Lou Ya's worried and caring eyes at the bonfire party in the paddock, and the expression on Chu Yuan's face that she seemed to have inadvertently glanced at in front of the shop on Lantern Festival night.

As a woman, Fang Ruxuan knew what that meant, but after only a few days, Lou Ya was able to listen to the Empress Dowager Lou and King Yao talking about her marriage so calmly, without any reluctance other than shyness, Fang Ruxuan Ask yourself, if it was me, she would never be able to do it.

Suspicious eyes swept over Lou Ya's back, Fang Ruxuan turned her head to look at Chu Yuan, but saw that he was indifferent, moved her mouth instead, and silently said "it's none of my business".

Indeed, the Seventh Prince married Lou Ya, and Chu Yuan still didn't take it seriously, he didn't even pay attention to King Yong, so why did he put the Seventh Prince in the hostile category so early on? ?
Thinking of this, Fang Ruxuan felt that she should be happy: After all, with the Empress Dowager Lou's plan, even if Lou Ya could not marry the Seventh Prince, it would be impossible for her to enter the East Palace and become the side concubine of the Crown Prince.

There was a faint smile on her face, and Fang Ruxuan's feet became a little lighter.

At the end of the banquet, King Yao spoke, and all the concubines left. Chu Yuan knew that King Yao was planning to close the door to discuss the marriage of the Seventh Prince with Queen Mother Lou, so he took Fang Ruxuan to stand up and salute, and then retired together. up.

Sure enough, there were only Empress Dowager Lou, King Yao and Queen Zhou left in the palace. Empress Dowager Lou asked King Yao straight to the point, "What's the matter? Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that my Lou's daughter is not good enough for a prince?"

"The queen mother is serious..."

King Yao smiled and said: "No one else will tell, but Lou Ya grew up under the watchful eye of her mother. She is one of the best in appearance and talent in Shangyang City. How can I not know? However, the marriage of the sixth child has not yet been decided. Is it a bit..."

King Yao didn't continue, but Queen Mother Lou and Queen Zhou understood the meaning of the words.

Queen Zhou immediately took over the conversation and said, "That's right, that's exactly what the king said..."

"He Guifei went there after giving birth to the sixth child. She didn't enjoy the blessing of the prince for a day. If it weren't for the care of the queen mother, the sixth child would not be where he is today. Although he is gentle and indisputable, he should Some honor has to be given, if Lao Qi gets past him like this, and turns around and says something nasty, Lao Liu will be dishonored, and we will all feel sad."

Said with a slightly sad face, Queen Zhou looked at Queen Mother Lou and King Yao inquiringly, and said, "Why don't we let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send a roster first, so we can select the sixth concubine first?"

Although she knew that King Yao and Queen Zhou were telling the truth, Empress Dowager Lou still felt a little uncomfortable, "The sixth prince and concubine will naturally be chosen, but we can decide on Xiao Qi and Lou Ya's marriage first, and when the time comes, both Isn’t Xilinmen not good? Could it be that the marriage proposed by the king to Ai’s family is not optimistic at all?”

Feeling a little sullen in her heart, Lou Tai looked at King Yao again, feeling a little worried.

King Yao shook his head again and again, thinking quickly in his heart. After a while, he nodded and said: "Since it is the empress's intention, there is nothing wrong with this marriage. The sixth is twenty, and the seventh is nineteen. When the sixth prince and concubine are selected, the sixth and seventh princes will be divided into royal residences, and after the wedding, let them live their own lives."

After King Yao finished speaking, Empress Zhou's heart sank, and Empress Dowager Lou was overjoyed, "Then I have to urge the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the sixth is already twenty, so we can't delay any longer."

As she said that, Empress Dowager Lou's eyes slid across Queen Zhou's face, as if she was warning her not to play tricks in secret.

Back at Fengming Palace, Queen Zhou was sullen for a while: Concubine Jinggui took advantage of a loophole and arranged the Seventh Prince's marriage by mistake. Although it seems that this is not a troublesome thing now, but in the future, what will happen? Just can't say.

After cursing Concubine Jing, and Empress Dowager Lou, and then thinking of choosing a concubine for the sixth prince who was too lazy to talk to her, Queen Zhou just felt a headache. She lowered her head and sighed for a while. Where is the princess?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yong is pregnant. She came out of Shouchang Palace and sat in Fengming Palace for a while, but she didn't see you back, so she went back."

Shui Ling replied softly.

"Send some supplements over there, and then invite an imperial doctor who is good at gynecology to check Princess Yong's pulse to see if she can tell if it's a boy or a girl."

After softly instructing, the Queen of Zhou ordered again: "Go, please come over to Concubine Han Shu and the Crown Princess."

When Fang Ruxuan arrived at Fengming Palace, Concubine Han Shu had already arrived, and she was drinking tea carefully. After Fang Ruxuan saluted, Concubine Han Shufang turned to look at Queen Zhou and said, "Princes have always had rules in choosing concubines. After the screening by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are only a few people who meet the requirements. When the time comes, Niang Niang, please take a look and ask the king to have a look, and then you can make a decision. Such a big matter, leave it to the concubine and the crown prince , I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Queen Zhou smiled and stroked her unwrinkled clothes, "Although it's a big deal, Concubine Shu, you have the right to assist the Sixth Palace. I'm the most at ease with this matter. Besides, the sixth When I see you, I still have to call her a concubine mother. If you choose a concubine for her, he will also accept your love, right? As for the princess concubine..."

When she looked at Fang Ruxuan, the queen of Zhou became more gentle, "In the future, the affairs of the six palaces will be handed over to the crown princess, and now I have to start practicing. For this first thing, why not choose the sixth prince and concubine first?" Start? How should I put it, in the future when the crown prince ascends the throne, the six palaces will choose concubines, and the crown prince will be indispensable."

After having practiced, she can also prepare for the future. What Queen Zhou said seemed to be sincerely planning for Fang Ruxuan.

Fang Ruxuan sneered in her heart, but she didn't dare to refuse, she just waited for Concubine Han Shu and Queen Zhou to deal with each other.

Sure enough, Concubine Han Shu couldn't refuse after a lot of confrontation between you and me. The matter of choosing a concubine for the sixth prince just fell on Concubine Han Shu and Fang Ruxuan.

"It just so happens that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along more, and this Gong has done a good thing..."

When Concubine Han Shu and Fang Ruxuan resigned, Queen Zhou started to joke in a good mood.

After leaving Fengming Palace, she followed Concubine Han Shu towards Changle Palace. Seeing her frowning slightly, Fang Ruxuan asked a little puzzledly, "Mother Concubine is worried about this matter?"

Concubine Han Shu asked back, "What do you think? Tell me first."

Fang Ruxuan thought for a while, and said softly: "The sixth prince has never fought or robbed in the palace. This is a good thing in the eyes of the people in the palace, but in the eyes of the aristocratic families outside the palace, they may not think so. Therefore, anyone who wants to In the long run, they are unwilling to marry their daughters to the Sixth Prince and remain neutral, so the candidates for the Sixth Prince's Concubine presented by the House of Internal Affairs must be ladies from noble and first-class families. If there is no support behind him, I am afraid that there will be no place to stand in the court, and I really can only be an idle prince."

And what the sixth prince is thinking in his heart, no one knows.

If he didn't want to compete for the reserve position, but he was full of ambitions and wanted to serve the court, then this marriage would only disappoint him in the end.

So, all in all, choosing a concubine for the sixth prince is really a thankless task.

Concubine Han Shu glanced at Fang Ruxuan in surprise, "You see clearly."

At the fork in the road, Concubine Han Shu nodded, "Go back, you don't have to follow me to Changle Palace. Let's wait for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to present all the candidates, and then we can discuss."

Fang Ruxuan bowed to bow and leave.

Back in the East Palace, Fang Ruxuan summoned Mu Mian, "Are those people settled in the other courtyard?"

After saying hello to Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan said that Ye Changfeng and others were all left to him to arrange. These days passed, all the news was passed by kapok back and forth, and Fang Ruxuan didn't bother to ask carefully.

After Kapok finished speaking one by one, she looked up at Fang Ruxuan and said, "As Miss Cui ordered that day, I have sent someone to watch over the store of Madam Cui's son and daughter. If there is any change, the palace will receive the news immediately. .”

Fang Ruxuan nodded.

After the new year, Chu Yuan started to get busy with outside affairs, so she also started to deal with the affairs of the East Palace. The most important thing was to get rid of those people who were eating inside and outside.

Fang Ruxuan did not forget that that day Queen Zhou asked her about the quarrel with Chu Yuan.

It was not an important matter at all, and it was a matter in her own boudoir. Queen Zhou found out about it so quickly. Fang Ruxuan knew that Nanny Cui could not escape being involved.

However, in the past, she didn't come to Xuanyi Hall if she had nothing important to do. How did she know what happened here?
Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but sneered: the action was fast enough, so quickly, she placed her eyeliner next to Xuan Yidian. Fortunately, nothing happened these days, otherwise, wouldn't the East Palace not even be able to hide its secrets? Living?

She beat Nanny Cui before, but now, she has learned to be smart. She doesn't take action by herself, and arranges someone else to act as a cover. When something happens, she can clean herself up and kill the people around her. push out.

It seems that Nanny Cui has no choice but to stay.

Thinking so, Fang Ruxuan called Ding Xiang and Su Ye, and whispered something to them.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. What's the matter, you have to lure the praying mantis out first, right?

After everything was ordered, Fang Ruxuan just waited to close the net. However, when Queen Zhou intervened, she would have to deal with it for a while, and Fang Ruxuan felt a little headache.
