From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 975 Another Empress

It's not just her, Mei Zhannan, a real brother, has to invite her every time he sees her, and according to Mei Yuzheng's own words, she is so busy, she is so busy with the CD library every month, how can she run around talking with them when she has time? .

Knowing that the second aunt and second uncle would come to help my father grow vegetables in the palace every year, Mei Jinze said: "Yesterday my second aunt was still talking about it at the wedding banquet, and today I will take a rest for three days in a row to help my father grow vegetables. "

Although there are not many masters in the palace, there are many things to do, and she basically doesn't take care of the affairs of the harem now. She is only her chief manager, and she will be free at the beginning of the month after being busy at the end of the month.

Wen Ruyan knew it, looked up at Pearl and said, "This year I not only want to grow vegetables, but also want to build a grape trellis next to the swing, and also want to plant some flowers around, but you don't have to worry about it, your second uncle is ready That's all right. Let's not talk about that, let's look at the album first, Pearl, you can continue to introduce."

Pearl took the order, and immediately began to introduce the next person: "Your Highness, please look, this is the second lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion, Zheng Yinger, who is fourteen years old, lively, lovely and charming. Although her appearance has not yet fully grown, she is a beautiful embryo. Good at dancing, and dancing very well."

She has an oval face, flushed red, and her eyes are piercing. She looks eccentric and charming.

He had seen her dance at the palace banquet before. Mei Jinze knew her and had seen her more than once. He felt that she was too young. She's crossed off the list."

She raised her pen and was about to cross off the list like before, but Wen Ruyan pulled the list away and said, "Wait, she is a little younger, but Zheng Guogong only has two daughters, the eldest daughter You are already married and have a child, if you don’t choose your youngest daughter, no one will choose.”

The purpose of choosing a concubine is not only to suppress the princess but also to balance the forces of all parties. Zheng Guogong is a former military general who is proficient in water warfare.Therefore, no matter how young the girl is or what she looks like, she must be among the candidates selected this time.

The father and son had discussed about choosing a concubine, and Mei Zhannan had reminded him, knowing that it was imperative, he lowered his head and looked at Zheng Yinger reluctantly and said: "That's all right, let's choose her, one The side concubine is her, the other..."

She was interrupted by Wen Ruyan before she finished speaking, and she only heard her say: "The side concubine can't do it, she is too young, no matter how high her family background is, she can't convince everyone, and she is innocent and not good at maneuvering. Roasting on the fire will easily make her a target of public criticism."

Although she has never experienced the battles in the harem, she is very aware of the struggles between women in the back house. In fact, let alone the back houses of rich families, even the girls who go to banquets on weekdays are also fighting openly and secretly.

As the saying goes, there are three women in one drama, and where there are many women, there will be more right and wrong. The purpose of accepting Zheng Guogong's daughter as a concubine is to let him fight well and serve the country. If his daughter had an accident and died not long after entering the East Palace, wouldn't it be It backfired, and instead of getting married, they became enemies.

I knew long ago that choosing a concubine is a power struggle, which involves all aspects of the former court and the harem, and this is the main reason why Mei Zhannan asked her to strictly control the selection.

Mei Jinze was a little dazed, but it didn't last long. After realizing it in an instant, he signaled Pearl to continue to scroll down, look down, and talk down.

There are many girls of the right age who are waiting to be married in the families of fourth-rank officials and above, and there are also many daughters from aristocratic families in the capital. Therefore, there are 28 in Wen Ruyan's tentative album, and all of them are top choices.

When they got married, they had never seen so many girls. For a while, Mei Jinze didn't know which one he liked. It's good, but the portrait is different from the real person, and the queen mother just said that they will all enter the palace in two days, so it's better... why don't you look at it when the official selection is made."

He has already seen the must-choice ones like Zheng Yinger, and he thinks they are good, so Wen Ruyan decides. As for the others, we will see them later.

There was such a big incident last night, knowing that he was busy, and also knowing that choosing a concubine was not his intention but a helpless act, Wen Ruyan didn't force her, she closed the album and said, "Okay, then go get busy first, wait for me to get it." Let your father see it later."

I shouldn't have been involved in matters in the son's room, let alone her stepmother, but there is no way, who makes the husband like the eldest granddaughter? For her benefit, he has to think more.

Standing up and saying goodbye, Mei Jinze left with his entourage.

Seeing his receding back, Pearl ordered everyone to back down, then walked up to Wen Ruyan and whispered, "Why did your empress take out the portrait of Miss, maybe His Royal Highness likes it."

Uncle Wen Guo's youngest daughter is also fourteen this year. Mrs. Wen entered the palace a while ago and said that she wanted the empress to show her family. It would undoubtedly be better if the emperor could give her a marriage.

Wen Ruyan remained silent, walked to the side of the thousand carp pond, picked up the fish food noodle and replied expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law is confused, why are you also confused? Let's not care about her ordinary appearance, just say that she is arrogant and domineering and hit me The name is playing around outside, bullying others, being arrogant and indulgent, there is absolutely no way for the crown prince to take a fancy to her."

Speaking of it, one person really ascended to the sky. Since the Mei family won the world and she became the queen, the status of the Wen family in the capital has risen to a higher level. Coupled with her husband's kindness and stepson's benevolence and filial piety, the elder brother and sister-in-law's hearts are gradually raised. When they grow up, they actually want the Wen family to have another queen.

Queen, under one person and over tens of thousands of people, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but what about the infinite scenery?
Her fate is very good, her husband doesn't even have a concubine, she doesn't even have a concubine, and she doesn't allow maids to get close to her on weekdays. How many women in the world can have happiness and luck?Counting hundreds of years ahead, she was only one person.

The same people have different fates, let alone two aunts and nephews. Besides, the prince already has a princess concubine. Queen, she really doesn't know where her ambition and courage come from.

Let's not talk about how the husband treats the eldest granddaughter, but just talk about His Royal Highness Mei Jinze, the Su family and Su Miaoyi, haven't they understood it yet?
The daughter is his heart, and the position of the princess can't be easily shaken by this heart alone.So, she really didn't know what her brother and sister-in-law thought and planned. Aren't they afraid that if they failed to steal the chicken, they would take the whole family's life into it?
