Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 28
Ning Rui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Mother and concubine Lao is worried. My son is in poor health. Wouldn't it hurt other girls to marry a wife? My son is still young, so it's not too late to discuss marriage in a few years."

"Your child, it's because you don't have anyone around you who knows how to take care of you, so you can't take care of yourself." The imperial concubine interrupted him, "Although your father is gone, you still have a brother and sister-in-law. This marriage is natural." I will also choose a good girl for you, you are sixteen now, your sister-in-law must have been looking for a girl for you, isn't she Queen?"

After saying this, the imperial concubine looked over with a smile.

The queen's face was a little stiff, she really didn't expect this.

A 20-year-old woman with no children would think of helping her brother-in-law choose a daughter-in-law, but the imperial concubine had already said so much, so she set her up.

If she couldn't say one, two, three, wouldn't she be treating my uncle harshly?

Seeing the queen's expression, Ning Chen frowned, guessing in his heart that the queen was unprepared, his eyes darkened, and he opened his mouth to smooth things over.

"In the end, the matter of marriage still depends on the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The father is dead but the mother is still there. The empress is also discussing this matter these days. It's just that the empress is young. It is the first time to arrange such a thing. I haven't figured it out yet. With a clue, I brought the queen mother to the garden, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to ask the queen mother."

Although the queen mother used to be a concubine, but now she is the queen and the main palace. She is Ning Rui's aunt, so she can talk and be the master.

Mentioning this, the Grand Concubine's complexion became sour. She used to be a noble concubine, and she should be more honorable, but now she has been trampled down, so naturally she is not reconciled.

But the queen mother is proud.

"Huan'er has always been sensible. If you don't understand, you can ask Ai's family. Ai's family will help you with the marriage of the fourth child. There is also that child, Lin'er, who will reach her age in October this year. Looks like it."

This Lin'er is Ning Lin, the Second Princess of the First Emperor, the youngest daughter of Concubine De.

Since the death of the first emperor, Concubine De has sincerely worshiped the Buddha and did not participate in any banquets, big or small. The second princess served her mother and concubine, so she was not too big.

Today it is Concubine De's eldest daughter, Princess Ning Jin of the First Emperor, who is here.

The eldest princess is already married, and today she is here with her son-in-law, He Xinyan, and a pair of seven-year-old twins, a dragon and a phoenix.

When mentioning her younger sister, Ning Jin naturally wanted to say a few words, and stood up, "Mother Lao is worried, my younger sister is calm, and I need to find someone with a similar personality, so I don't worry if I take my time."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and this section was rounded.

Although she doesn't like the queen very much, she is her daughter-in-law after all, so she can't let others talk about it.

But Concubine Yao was not easy to deal with, so she changed the subject and talked about children again.

King Ping had two sons and a daughter. The concubine Fang gave birth to a daughter, and the side concubine Zhao gave birth to a son. There was one in her stomach for five months, and the other was born to a concubine in the mansion.

And the eldest princess already had a pair of twins.

Looking at it this way, among those who are married, Ning Chen has the fewest heirs. The queen has been married for four years, but she has never conceived.

This point of heirs is indeed Ning Chen's shortcoming.

But even so, Concubine Yao Taigui couldn't tolerate saying that!

"Not long after I ascended the throne, the country is not stable, and I have no intention of having a harem, but since the concubine Taigui mentioned it today, I should also give the harem women a promotion. I am very happy."

Ning Chen smiled but didn't smile, obviously a little annoyed, he took a sip of his wine and continued.

"Jing Zhaoyi was promoted to the second-rank concubine, Wang Meiren was promoted to Jieyu, Li Cairen was promoted to Wanrong, and Chen Baolin was promoted to the title of Min."

Most of the people who were named were old people who served in the hidden mansion, and they were a little petty, so they got up quickly to thank them.

Jing Zhaoyi, the current concubine Jing, was even more surprised. She didn't give birth to that child at all, and she felt that it was the end when she sat at the head of the nine concubines. She never thought that she could have the concubine position.

And the other Mincai who was promoted was really relieved. If she didn't get promoted again, she would look too ugly.

Those who are named are naturally happy, but those who are not named feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially Concubine Shu, one or two of them have been awarded the second rank since birth. Concubine Jing is fine, but Concubine Wen is afraid that she will climb to the first rank in her lifetime.

Now in terms of first grade, the three positions of Gui Xiande are still vacant, she occupies a concubine Shu, if more people come, they will directly pass her.

Wringing the handkerchief in her hand, Concubine Shu became more and more unwilling.

But no one will notice her here, the gods are fighting.

As soon as Ning Chen was promoted to the throne with anger, the imperial concubine didn't say much, and she looked peaceful, as if she wasn't the one who just found fault.

Down below, Yao Cairen lowered his eyes while drinking, wondering what his aunt was up to.

The imperial concubine was always cautious in the past, and she didn't like to make such troublesome things. Today, she was uncharacteristically, and she was afraid that she wanted to test something.

No matter how undercurrents are surging inside, the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet is still proceeding harmoniously on the face of it.

King Kang couldn't drink, so Prince Ping Ning Hao took the lead to drink with Ning Chen along with a few members of the clan.

King Ping was also ambitious at the beginning. After all, his mother is a noble concubine, so she was born well.

However, since he was a child, he was not as good at studying martial arts as his brothers, and his qualifications were not good. Later, even the Yao family felt that he had no hope, and once hoped that the imperial concubine would have another one, which gradually led to the loss of King Ping's ambitions.

Up to now, he has completely become an idle prince, and his first wife, Fang Shi, is also quiet and gentle, and the husband and wife are more and more leisurely.

Ning Chen is still clear about these two brothers, neither of them has any ambitions.

If not, when he first came to the throne, as long as King Ping refused to accept it and wanted to do something, it would be easy to rely on the Yao family.

After a dinner party, there were no moths in the second half, and it was quite enjoyable.

King Ping got drunk and stayed in the garden to rest. The concubine took care of her and sent back the pregnant side concubine Zhao. King Kang was weak and left before it was over.

Ning Chen is also slightly drunk, and today he is fifteen, so he naturally went to the queen's place.

In Wutong Hall, the two groomed and washed separately. When the queen came out of the clean room, she saw that the person on the couch was already asleep, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

"My lady..."

Suqin wanted to say something, but the queen waved her hand to signal her to keep quiet, so she had no choice but to put down the curtain and back out.

The two were lying on the couch, the queen turned slightly sideways, wanting to see her husband, but Ning Chen happened to turn over and turned his back to her, a feeling of sourness burst out from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes suddenly became wet.

Married at the age of 16, it has been four years, but she just can't conceive a child. The birth control pills come one after another.

At today's banquet, the imperial concubine talked about her sons, and she was so easily overwhelmed that she couldn't hold her head up.

If she lost her face, it would bring the face of the emperor and queen mother, who would care about her heartache and grievance?It will only make her more useless.

Heirs are so important, even adopting one is better than nothing.

That night, the queen couldn't sleep, and Yao Xiang didn't sleep either. At this moment, she changed into eunuch clothes, concealed her whereabouts, and went to the residence of the imperial concubine.
