The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Chapter 247 Sunflower Water Comes깊

As soon as Ji Weiyu took the Chu envoy away, the quietness became more and more obvious after the excitement. Even though Yan Qing thought he was a cold and cold person, he was inevitably a little disappointed with this kind of quietness.

The four kings left, and the envoys left.

The court quickly resumed its work and was busy at work. The weather became cooler day by day, and it soon entered October and late autumn.

The Ministry of Rites compiled the names of the princes of each family presented by the officials and submitted them to the imperial court. After Yan Qing and Wen Jin looked at them, they found that there were quite a few people and it was a long list. If they only looked at the names, they would not be able to guess them all. Which minister's son is he? Fortunately, the notes are clearly written so that everyone can see it at a glance.

The three grandsons of the three chief ministers of the cabinet are all on the list, one from each family, and the best one should be chosen among the descendants.

Speaking of descendants, Yan Qing held her chin and looked at the list: "Most of the important ministers in the court have three wives and four concubines, and have many children. Choosing to be a servant is related to a bright future in the future. If you seize this opportunity, you may be able to make great progress in the future. Qingyun has achieved fame, so the family will have to go through a fierce dispute over who to choose to enter the palace."

"If there are many brothers, competition is inevitable." Wen Jin smiled, "But the competition should not be that serious. Normally, there is no competition between the legitimate son and the concubine, unless the legitimate son is illiterate, the concubine is talented, and the minister is a member of the family. Interests will make exceptions for concubines to serve, and more competition should come from legitimate sons and legitimate sons. "

Yan Qing tilted his head: "Give me an example?"

"Just like Mr. Wang in the cabinet, he has two legitimate sons. The eldest son has two sons and one daughter, and the second son has two sons and two daughters. Let's not care about the other concubines for the time being. Counting only the legitimate grandchildren, there are four, but the Wang family can only repay When a quota comes up, who should Sir Wang give this quota to?" Wen Jin's voice was quiet, "If these four grandsons each have their own goals to pursue, then it's easy to decide. If all four of them like to study, and they all count. If there is progress in the official career, Mr. Wang will have some difficulties when choosing this candidate. "

"It's not difficult." Yan Qing slowly shook his head, "If the four of us compete and have equal strength, then we will only give the place to the eldest grandson. In this way, the other three will have nothing to say."

Wen Jin nodded: "Your Majesty said yes."

"But I understand what you mean." Yan Qing put the list aside, "Each family is different. Not all brothers live in harmony. In big families, intrigues for interests are common. Take advantage of this. It is a good time to choose a servant to read, and you can see how well the adults in the court manage their families. "

Wen Jin nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."

Yan Qing returned her eyes to the list, "The grandsons of several cabinet ministers, the children and grandchildren of several ministers and ministers in the court, the nephews of Duke Cheng Guo, the sons of Nanzizi... The officials have different levels, and the sons of each family gather together. Together, the status is different, and the son of a low-ranking official will inevitably have some scruples, and may hide his clumsiness when competing for strength. "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already thought about this."

"Well, anyway, the list has been presented. Let's see how the emperor sets up many obstacles." Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?"

"It's time-consuming and labor-intensive for so many people to answer questions together." Wen Jin pondered, "Let's test our character first."

"How to test?"

"It's late autumn now, and the plum blossoms should be blooming well in the Imperial Garden." Wen Jin raised her head and looked out of the palace, "Scholars love plum blossoms, so let's choose a day to summon the princes to the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Yan Qing hummed, "I'll leave this matter to you."

Wen Jin pursed her lips and smiled: "I obey your order."

After finishing talking about the business, Yan Qing suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and caressed his abdomen, "Wen Jin, I'm coming to Kuishui today."

Wen Jin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "The weather is getting colder, your Majesty, please pay attention to keep warm."

As he said that, he turned around to get a cloak and put it around her shoulders.

"We have been married for more than a month." Yan Qing raised her hand to support her chin, "We have sex almost every night. I should be pregnant."

Wen Jin looked at her silently, frowning slightly: "It's only been a month... It shouldn't be so fast, right?"

"I remember the concubines before the late emperor. Some of them had a happy pulse after sleeping with them once or twice." Yan Qing raised her eyes and looked at him, "You have slept with me so many times, how come there is no movement at all?"

Wen Jin was silent and confused for a while: "How does your majesty know that they have been in bed once or twice and have a happy pulse?"

"Although I was young at that time, I was not stupid." Yan Qing said quietly, "There are many concubines in the palace. Unless you are very favored, how many of them have to sleep with you every day? Three times in a row is considered extremely lucky. , after most people go to bed, the next time is far away..."

"But even if there are concubines attending the bed every night, there are still only a few people who are happy. Otherwise, wouldn't the royal family be overcrowded?" Wen Jin raised her lips, "So there are only a few people who are happy once or twice."

Yan Qing raised her eyebrows: "Are you making excuses for yourself or for me?"

"None of them." Wen Jin narrowed her eyes, "I just think it would be better if the child comes later. Otherwise, you will not be able to handle the affairs of the government and endure the pain of pregnancy at the same time."

"you're right."

"But whether you want to have children for the time being or not, you can ask the imperial physician to come over and take a look." Wen Jin frowned, "Your Majesty's physical health is the most important thing."
