Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 158 Roster
After Qingrou left Yangrong Hall, she entered the palace and went straight to Guanghua Hall.

Concubine Zhu Gui was thinking about the roster. The emperor wanted to choose concubines for his sons, and this job was left to her.Today, the biological mothers of several princes sent rosters, all of which are the princes' favorite candidates.

She checked them one by one, and there was nothing wrong with anything else, the only problem was that Lin Yanyan was among the princes' favorite candidates.This gave her a headache.

Lin Yanyan hurt Zhu Ziyu and her Zhu family so badly, she couldn't do anything to Lin Yanyan in order to show her magnanimity, but now Lin Yanyan has won the hearts of the queen mother and the emperor, and has become the object of the princes' scrambling.No matter what, she couldn't let Lin Yanyan marry into the royal family, not even Xiao Zhuo, the eldest who had been following Han'er.This woman is so powerful that Lao Ba can't hold her at all.

But what reason should she use to exclude Lin Yanyan?If the reasons were not sufficient, the emperor thought she had a grudge against Lin Yanyan and took the opportunity to take revenge.

"Imperial Concubine, Princess Qingrou, please see me." Gong'e came to report.

Zhu Guifei said: "Let her in."

After a while, Qingrou came into the palace, smiled and said crisply: "Imperial Concubine, Qingrou is here to greet you."

Concubine Zhu Gui smiled and said, "What wind brought you here?"

"Dongfeng." Qingrou said playfully.

Concubine Zhu smiled: "You came just in time, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I would like to invite a few ladies from famous families to sit in the palace, you can help me to see the details."

"Okay, Qingrou will help your empress take a look, most of the well-known ladies in the capital, Qingrou, know a thing or two." The words of the imperial concubine's empress caught Qingrou's heart.

Concubine Zhu Gui asked Gong'e to give the roster to Qingrou.

Qingrou took a look, pretending to be surprised: "Huh? Why is Lin Yanyan also on the list?"

"Is there any problem?" Concubine Zhu Gui remained calm.

"Of course there is a problem. It's a serious problem. Concubine, don't you hear that Lin Yanyan was ordered to commit crimes in the husband and wife palace, so it's not appropriate to marry early?"

Concubine Zhu was surprised: "There is such a thing? Don't spread it around."

"Young concubine, Qingrou doesn't know where this rumor came from, but now it's spread all over the capital, and no one knows it. It's said that Lin Yanyan's life violates the couple's palace, and it's not suitable for early marriage. He was engaged [-] years ago and set up a family. Destroying a family means either the death of her husband or the imminent disaster. Think about it, didn’t Lin Yanyan make an engagement with brother Ziyu before? Not long after the engagement, Marquis Ding’an died in battle, and brother Ziyu and Duke Jin’s mansion were also implicated by her. Think about it The rumors are true." Qingrou said seriously.

Concubine Zhu Gui couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice, "It seems to be like this."

"Imperial Concubine, I'd rather believe this kind of thing to be true or not, otherwise if something happens in the future, I can't blame you?"

Concubine Zhu Gui was secretly delighted, she was really just about to doze off when someone gave her a pillow, this spring breeze sent Qingrou to her, and solved her big problem.

"It's just that if Lin Yanyan is removed, I don't know who should be replaced." Concubine Zhu pretended to be in trouble.

Qingrou blinked her eyes: "If the imperial concubine can trust me, I will recommend a few candidates to the imperial concubine. I guarantee that they will have outstanding appearance and good character."

Qingrou took the opportunity to recommend Yu Wanwan, Concubine Zhu considered it and nodded.

Qingrou continued to look down: "Imperial Concubine, why is the tenth cousin's name blank?"

Concubine Zhu Gui sighed: "I have known about Concubine Xian for a long time, but Concubine Xian has not sent the roster for a long time. I don't know what she thinks in her heart, whether it is difficult to make a decision or..."

Qingrou naturally knew that the concubine Xian and Xiao Qian were incompatible with each other, and everyone in the palace knew it.The concubine Xian didn't care about Xiao Qian's affairs at all.

But this is none of her business, and the imperial concubine and the concubine Xian have never dealt with it very much, so she will not talk too much.

Concubine Xian is really not careless this time. Concubine Xian is really serious about finalizing the candidate after listening to the persuasion of the fourth child, but she is hesitant in choosing the candidate, and she is afraid that the tenth child will overwhelm the fourth child. , It's too difficult to pick the average ones, and I'm afraid that the tenth old one won't be able to help the fourth one.

There are many ways for a prince to choose a concubine. Who wouldn't want to use marriage to increase their strength and consolidate their position?

Therefore, Concubine Xian called the fourth child into the palace and asked the fourth child to help with the details.

As soon as Xiao Qing heard that his mother concubine called him for the tenth brother's marriage, he said, "Mother concubine, why don't you announce tenth brother to enter the palace and ask tenth brother what he thinks?"

"Ask him what to do? Marriage matters are decided by parents. Qing'er, you are his elder brother, so it's the same if you decide for him. Qing'er, who do you think is more beneficial for you to marry the old ten."

Xiao Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this was the tenth younger brother's choice of concubine, and now it's the same as his choice of concubine.

However, thinking that my tenth brother has never cared about women's affairs, and there is not even a maid at home, I guess if I ask tenth brother, tenth brother can't come up with a charter, that's all, this matter really needs his elder brother's help to consult.

Xiao Qing thought for a while, and said: "The tenth brother has been in the army, and he wants to go back to the barracks. I think he might like the lady of the military officer's family. This uncle Dongping, the lady of the uncle Yongning's family, I think it is suitable. "

Concubine Xian pondered, isn't what Qing'er lacks is power in the army?It would be helpful to Qing'er if the old ten could take the girls from these two families.

"Okay, let's just have the two of them, there are still three people missing, and the mother concubine can decide for herself."

Dongpingbo and Yongningbo are already eye-catching enough. The one surnamed Zhu was asked to draw up a roster of five people, and she would randomly find two people from ordinary family backgrounds to hand in.

"Turn around, talk to your tenth brother, and choose one of these two ladies when the time comes, so don't be confused." Concubine Xian confessed.

Concubine Zhu Gui received the roster handed over by Concubine Xian, and couldn't help sneering, Concubine Xian was quite ambitious, she dared to miss the young ladies of Uncle Dongping and Uncle Yongning's family.She is planning for her fourth child!

The problem is that there are also these two in the roster of the old eight and the old nine. Is it possible to beat a boring old ten with three sticks?
Concubine Zhu sorted out the roster and sent it to the emperor.

After looking at it, the emperor asked, "Why is there no Princess Kangping?"

Is your son so blind?
Gong'e replied truthfully: "Recently, it has been rumored that Princess Kangping ordered to violate the couple's palace. It is not suitable to marry early, otherwise one door will be destroyed, and either the husband will die or disaster will come. To be cautious, the imperial concubine and empress will temporarily remove the name of Princess Kangping. The imperial concubine said, if the emperor thinks Princess Kangping can be included in the roster, he will add it."

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said: "I don't know if the rumors are true or not, so be more cautious. You go back and tell the noble concubine that the tenth will not participate in the selection of concubines this time. The tenth is not yet a weak crown, so don't worry."

Concubine Zhu Gui received the reply, she couldn't help but hesitate, the tenth year is nineteen, although she has not reached the age of weak crown, but she has also reached the age of choosing a concubine, the eldest, fourth and sixth, didn't they all choose their concubines and get married early?Why is it that you are not in a hurry when you reach the old ten?

Could it be that the emperor has other arrangements for the old ten?

Concubine Zhu Gui couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, but it was the emperor's decision, and she could only obey.
