princess

Chapter 36

Yao Shengqin sighed, knowing that this cousin was only thinking of the Yao family, but he was thinking the wrong way, "Cousin, isn't it good for us to take the imperial examinations in a dignified manner? Don't you think that your son will be scolded at the spine?"

"I let those people take the imperial examination. I just want to prepare with both hands. Look at the Lin family..."

"He started out with military exploits." Yao Shengqin interrupted Yao Guangyao.

"Yes, but the promotion is so fast now, isn't it because there is a noble concubine in the palace?" Yao Guangyao said, "Obviously our Yao family..."

"Shut up." Yao Shengqin said calmly, "I have nothing to say to you. You must know that your future is not based on others, but on your own. Why do you always want to rely on the relationship in the palace? Don't you want to be the reliance of the prince and princess?"

"Let's go, you are not welcome in this mansion in the future." After Yao Shengqin made a gesture, he got up and walked inside.

Yao Guangyao covered his face and said with a low voice after a long time, "Tell the young master, I'll go back first."

"Yes."

Who to choose to enter the palace is not directly decided by Emperor Xuanhe. If the queen is there, the list is drawn up by the queen. Now it is the empress dowager, but the empress dowager called Concubine Lin Gui, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning and Xiao Yuanmin to her side , and the empress dowager wanted to mention Concubine Jing, so she also called her and said, "I'm old too, this is the emperor's first draft in five years, who will enter the palace and what position, let's discuss it .”

"These girls are all very good, how about bringing them all to the palace?" Concubine Lin Gui said softly, "Your Majesty's harem is empty, and it's time to add more people."

"I think it's not very good for the concubine to be a noble concubine. We know the good intentions of the empress, but what about the people outside? It's harmful to your majesty's reputation." Concubine Shu said with a smile, "Besides, your majesty also said no Go to war."

"Why don't we discuss it together?" Concubine Ning said, "What does the Empress Dowager think?"

"Alright." The Empress Dowager said, "You say, the Ai family will be the last to hold the eye."

After hearing that the empress dowager claimed to be Aijia, several people stopped talking, Xiao Yuanmin looked at it and said with a smile, "The empresses are too reserved, why don't you say it first?"

"My good granddaughter is still sensible." The Empress Dowager smiled, "What advice does my good granddaughter have?"

"Grandma Huang, that Yuan Min was curious, so he specially held a tea party in the Royal Garden, and met these beautiful girls, all of them are beautiful, but according to the old mother, they are not even one-tenth as good as Grandma Huang." Xiao Yuanmin said With a sweet mouth, even the empress dowager is often amused, "Yuan Min thinks again, even those people now are not as good as the empress dowager."

"Look at what you said, Grandma Huang is old." Although the empress dowager was not the most favored at the beginning, she was the harem of Yanguan, denying that she won't be favored to raise the prince after being murdered and unable to conceive.

"Grandma Huang is not old." Xiao Yuanmin said with a smile, "We are together, others will treat us as mother and daughter."

"Princess is becoming more and more boastful about her beauty." Concubine Shu laughed.

"That's right." Xiao Yuanmin admitted generously.

"Okay, don't make me happy anymore." The Empress Dowager patted the seat beside her, "Come Yuan Min and sit here with Grandma Huang."

"Yes." After Xiao Yuanmin sat down, he continued, "Then I said, I think the Taifu's daughter is pretty good. Since her father is a Taifu, she must be learned."

The empress dowager nodded, she was also optimistic about the Zhou family, and then looked at Concubine Lin and the others, "What do you say?"

Lin Guifei smiled and said, "I heard that there is a cousin of Empress Huiyi this time, so far we are not half as good as the former empress. It can be seen that the Yao family's family education is very good. I heard that she looks very similar to the former empress. I'll be happy too."

"Yes." The Empress Dowager smiled.

"I heard that Concubine Lin's younger sister is also there, but she has a good appearance and is said to be good at dancing." Xieyuhua is also good."

The Empress Dowager frowned when she heard the words. Back then, there was a Xie Yuhua, who was good at dancing, by the side of the late Emperor. That person hurt the Empress Dowager. Before she saw Concubine Lin's younger sister, the Empress Dowager became unhappy. .

Seeing that the Empress Dowager frowned, Xiao Yuanmin persuaded softly, "Grandma, I heard that she is just a concubine. Besides, after all, the Lin family was..." Everyone already understood that the Lin family is not a big clan, and even the ancestors of the Lin family were A local ruffian, but he was lucky in enlisting in the army, and he was promoted step by step, but he heard that the way to get promoted was not very fair.

Moreover, because of the prince's struggle for the throne, many generals and officials were harmed. Emperor Xuanhe promoted a group of people, and the Lin family was one of them. The third generation saw food, the fourth generation saw through, and the fifth generation read articles. Contempt for the Lin family, "I don't know that the most important thing about my daughter's family is not the singing and dancing. After all, who doesn't keep some singing and dancing girls in captivity."

Concubine Lin dared to use her queen mother as an introduction, so she dared to peel off Concubine Lin's face and stomp hard, "Of course, I'm not talking about the concubine, after all, the concubine is a descendant, but Yuan Min heard a rumor, I don't know if it is True or false."

The empress dowager listened to her heart, "What rumor?"

"I heard that Old General Lin was a concubine back then, but he was taken back because... the man from the Lin family's concubine unexpectedly disappeared. I wonder if it's true or not?" Xiao Yuanmin looked at Concubine Lin with a puzzled expression.

Concubine Lin Guifei almost broke her nails. Of course it was true, but since her father was taken back and designated as the young master of the Lin family, no one dared to mention it again. Shut up, people who know about this matter now will not mention it again, after all, their status does not allow it, but Xiao Yuanmin never thought that it would be mentioned by Xiao Yuanmin.

In front of the royal family, this kind of private matter cannot be concealed. It depends on whether the royal family wants to mention it.

The empress dowager lightly patted the back of Xiao Yuanmin's hand, "Where did someone gossip in front of you, a little girl, and dirty your ears for nothing, so don't mention it again in the future, you know? Concubine Lin's grandfather specially asked him The emperor’s, the previous emperor did not allow it to be said.”

"Understood." Xiao Yuanmin showed guilt, "Don't be angry, empress, Yuan Min won't ask any more questions in the future."

The Empress Dowager also answered, "Concubine Lin Gui, Yuan Min is young, don't get angry with children."

Concubine Lin showed a smile on her face, "Actually, this is all true. It's just that the late emperor cared about the face of his ancestors and father, so he didn't let it be mentioned."

"Oh." Xiao Yuanmin looked at the Empress Dowager, "Grandma, Yuan Min said something wrong just now, why don't you let Concubine Lin's concubine sister enter the palace so that she can accompany Concubine Lin, as Yuan Min is apologizing for Concubine Lin. "

"That's fine, but it's a concubine after all, so I'm afraid the rank won't be high if I come in." The Empress Dowager said.

"It's a great blessing for her to be able to serve the emperor." Lin Guifei lowered her head and said.

Concubine Ning listened to it as funny, since Concubine Lin Guifei became more and more proud after giving birth to the prince, she even dared to use the former queen as an introduction. Today, the eldest princess said so, but she took all her face off.

Born out of a concubine?A daughter born to a concubine's wife, even if she is a daughter of a concubine, she can be no less noble than a daughter of a concubine.

Besides, what the Lin family did was really ridiculous. With a foreign wife, they were taken into the house when they were born, and were raised under someone else's name. They only recognized it when something happened. It really made people laugh for no reason. How can I say it.

After Concubine Ning and the others mentioned a few more people, Xiao Yuanmin counted them, "There are only seven people, why don't you make an even number."

"Huh?" The Empress Dowager glanced at her and said, "That's fine."

"Then the Xu family." Xiao Yuanmin said with a smile, "Although the Xu family is in decline, they are from a clan after all, so the rules will not be bad." Even now, Xiao Yuanmin has not forgotten to step on Concubine Lin Gui, You can see her temper.

These people in the palace are all intelligent. Of course they know that Xu Qing entered Fengyang Pavilion and left after waiting for two hours. It's just that the eldest princess still has to give her face, especially when she attacked her so viciously just now. Concubine Lin does not want to be the second Concubine Lin.

And the Empress Dowager was happy to see them making a fuss, and she would not object. Concubine Ning belonged to Xiao Yuanmin. Concubine Lin Guifei lost her face just now. She was afraid to say anything. The eldest princess still had something to say, so she also shut up.

"Okay, let's discuss what positions they are in." The Empress Dowager ordered.

In the end, except for the Zhou family and the Yao family who got the concubine, except for two of them who were named nobles, the rest were always present and promised. The empress dowager sent the written list to Emperor Xuanhe, After saying a few words, he sent people away.

Looking at Concubine Jing who had been holding a vase beside her for a long time, the Empress Dowager asked, "Did you see anything?"

"Concubine Lin... isn't the princess afraid of angering Concubine Lin?" Concubine Jing asked hesitantly.

"Why are you afraid?" Seeing that Concubine Jing was thinking, the Empress Dowager deliberately raised a few words, "Which of the two of them has the more sacred heart?"

"Eldest princess." Concubine Jing said.

The empress dowager nodded, "So why should the eldest princess be afraid? And she has been bullied to the eldest princess's face. If the eldest princess does not fight back, people will look down upon her."

"I see."

Emperor Xuanhe looked at the list in his hand and listened to Li Dezhong's words. For a while, he felt that the narrow-minded daughter was funny, and for a while, he felt that Concubine Lin Gui was too much. She could talk about Hui Yi, "No wonder Xuan Xuan asked me for it a few days ago. Let’s read some books about ministers’ family backgrounds.”

"No." Emperor Xuanhe squinted at the name of the concubine daughter of the Lin family, "I think Xuanxuan only went to see it to know about Xiunu's family background. After all, Xuanxuan didn't know about those ministers and outside affairs. Knowing that something is wrong... If you haven't read it, wouldn't Xuanxuan be bullied by Lin for nothing?"

Li Dezhong served warm tea aside, "Your Majesty calm down."

"Humph."

"Actually, I think that Concubine Lin Guifei has misunderstood the eldest princess." It's not that there was a misunderstanding between the eldest princess and Lin Guifei, but that Lin Guifei misunderstood the eldest princess. Li Dezhong's words are interesting.

"She is so big, she bullies a child like Xuanxuan." Emperor Xuanhe snorted coldly.

Li Dezhong Gongsheng said, "The eldest princess is sensible and doesn't care about these things."

"I just understand it too well, and my heart aches." Emperor Xuanhe sighed, "Huiyi gave birth to a good daughter for me." Speaking of this, I thought of the second princess born to Concubine Lin Gui, who was competitive in everything. It wasn't Xuanxuan who gave way... "It seems that we still have to pick everyone out..."
