The Prime Minister Seduced Me to Give Birth

For Qi'er and You'er's official apprenticeship, the grandfather of the country and Jiang Youzhi both attach great importance to it.

The next day, according to Da Chu's rules, the two children were asked to kowtow to Duanmu Lei over tea.

Duanmu Lei drank tea, even if he officially accepted his apprentice.

Since then, You'er Qi'er has practiced with Duanmu Lei every day.

Ruru sometimes practiced with them, and Duanmu Lei would also guide her.

As the Chinese New Year approached, news suddenly came out from the palace that several princes were going to choose concubines.

Up to now, the sage has not established a prince, and no one can be sure of the meaning of the sage.

Many people are pondering that the second prince who was originally born to the queen is justifiable, but the sage didn't talk about the matter of the crown prince, and it was probably the first prince who wanted to be born to the imperial concubine.

Therefore, the court was vaguely divided into two factions, one was flirting with the imperial concubine, and the other was standing on the queen's side.

The sage was well aware of this, but just watched it coldly and never interfered.

Now the first prince and the second prince are about to turn eighteen, while the third prince seventeen and the fourth prince sixteen are all at the age of marriage.

The Holy Admiral handed over the marriage of the four princes to the queen, and asked the imperial concubine to assist.

The range of concubine selection is women whose father and brother are officials of the sixth grade or above, and are between the ages of thirteen and seventeen.

There are women of school age in each family, and those who have not yet been engaged must report to the Ministry of Rites.

Locally, they report to the yamen of the prefectures, and the yamen will verify their identity. After the primary election, they will be sent to the capital to run for election.

For a time, the officials and eunuchs with daughters were happy and sad.

The government was worried.

No matter the grandfather of the country, Jiang Youzhi and Gu Yunjiao, none of them are willing to run for election.

They don't want to get involved in the royal struggle.

It's just that the government can't do anything special, and it still has to report the name.

Ruru heard about this, but it didn't matter, "Don't worry, Dad, don't worry, brother and sister-in-law, I can't choose, they want to choose a lady, not a girl like me who likes to dance with knives and guns."

The grandfather and Jiang Youzhi looked at each other, and when Ruru left, the grandfather said, "Otherwise, if I go to the palace to ask for the grace of the saint, Ruru's name will not be reported."

Jiang Youzhi said: "There's no need to hurry, maybe Ruru will lose the election."

The grandfather shook his head, "How is it possible, Ruru is my daughter and your sister, even if she looks innocent, the queen and the concubine will not let her lose the election."

Jiang Youzhi smiled and said, "Father, Ruru's temperamental queen and noble concubine will have a headache when they meet, and they may not want to have Ruru's daughter-in-law."

"Let's wait and see. If she's on the final list, it's not too late to ask for the emperor's grace."

Grandpa Guo nodded, "Alright."

Jiang Youzhi returned to the room, Gu Yunjiao couldn't help but muttered to him, "You said, Mrs. Xie's grandson, he and Ruru were very close a few years ago. In the past two years, Ruru has not entered the palace as a companion, and the two children have grown up. , Young Master Xie doesn't come to our house very often."

She sighed, "Oh, that child is born well, has a gentle temper, and is talented and learned. I originally thought he would be our son-in-law."

Jiang Youzhi was silent. In fact, he had always been optimistic about Xie Heng as his sister-in-law.

Gu Yunjiao was still chattering, "After the new year, Young Master Xie will be eighteen, and there is no rumor from their family. They say they want to marry him, but I'm not sure."

Jiang Youzhi said lightly: "What's the hurry, it's impossible for us Ruru to get married. Even if she doesn't marry, we can afford him."

"Anyway, their family doesn't mention it first, and we don't catch up."
