The emperor had only been on the throne for a few days.

The ministers in the court began to propose a draft to expand the harem.

Although the emperor refused on the grounds that the expenses of the harem should be saved and used for the common people, the ministers of the court, especially those with daughters at home, still persisted in admonishing him.

In the palace of the Duke of Wei.

Wei Wushuang felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although Mrs. Luo has been trying her best to hide this from Wei Wushuang, this kind of thing cannot be hidden after all. Wei Wushuang got better and finally found out. The emperor made her Princess Pingkang!

Now that the prince's brother has ascended the throne and become the emperor, it is impossible for her to be included in the draft!

Wei Wushuang became more and more depressed day by day.

Mrs. Luo's attention, which was originally transferred to Lian Zhi, was completely transferred to Wei Wushuang.

Although she felt ashamed of Lian Zhi, Wei Wushuang was the daughter she had raised single-handedly, and her affection was not comparable to that of Lian Zhi.

Mrs. Luo advised: "Wushuang, the matter is over, don't think too much about it, taking care of yourself is the most important thing."

No matter how Mrs. Luo tried to persuade her, Wei Wushuang could not let go.

After being depressed for many days, Wei Wushuang went to Mrs. Luo and said, "Mother, I want to go to Huangjue Temple to live permanently and pray for the Emperor and Dajing."

Mrs. Luo didn't know what Wei Wushuang was doing, and said sadly: "Wushuang, at your current age, you can't delay any longer."

Wei Wushuang looked gloomy and said: "Mother, I don't want to get married. From now on, I will always be with Buddha."

Mrs. Luo couldn't help but cry: "Are you trying to steal my mother's heart?"

Wei Wushuang held Mrs. Luo's hand: "Mom, don't worry, I won't stay in Huangjue Temple all my life."

Only now did Mrs. Luo sense that something was wrong.

Wei Wushuang nodded lightly at Mrs. Luo: "Mom, everyone has told me since I was a child that I will marry the prince's brother in the future. I have worked hard for this for more than ten years and I will not give up easily."

Mrs. Luo worriedly said: "But, even if the emperor has already established a queen, as a princess, it is impossible for you to enter the emperor's harem!"

Wei Wushuang looked resolute and said: "It depends on human effort!"

Mrs. Luo opened her mouth to persuade her again, but looking at her daughter's expression, she did not say anything.

She knew her daughter well. At this time, Mrs. Luo felt a little regretful. She should not have told her daughter that she would marry the prince in the future when she was still young.

Even she thought that given the Emperor's affection for the Emperor Xiaoxian and the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, there would be no big problem for the daughter of the Wei family to enter the harem.

Now my daughter has developed an obsession and can't look back.

Mrs. Luo's mouth was full of bitterness, and she said to Wei Wushuang: "Okay, you can go to Huangjue Temple for a while and then go. If you figure it out, send someone back, and my mother will pick you up."

Wei Wushuang nodded.

After sending Wei Wushuang away, Wei Guogong said to Mrs. Luo: "The emperor's harem is empty. Now the courtiers are proposing a draft for the emperor to spread the branches of the royal family. I am afraid that it will not be long before the draft."

"You take Wuyou back to the house and teach him some rules."

Mrs. Luo's face turned ugly when she heard this, and she objected: "Master, Wuyou has a simple temper, so there is no place for him to be sent to the harem."

Wei Guogong said displeased: "Is there anything inappropriate? Wuyou is the right age and has a good relationship with the queen. It will be smooth sailing when entering the palace."

Mrs. Luo smiled sarcastically: "What did the master say? Wuyou has a good relationship with the queen now. There is no interest in it. How can it be like this after entering the palace?"

Wei Guogong was a little impatient and said: "Then what do you think we should do? Wushuang has been canonized as a princess by the Supreme Emperor. If we don't give Wuyou away, how can we give it to the daughter of the side branch? How can the daughter of the side branch be of the same mind as ours?"

Mrs. Luo originally obeyed her husband in everything, but this time she didn't want to.

No need to ask, she also knew that Wuyou was not willing to enter the palace. The eldest daughter Wushuang is determined to enter the palace. If she knew that her family was sending her younger sister to the palace, she would be even more sad.

Mrs. Luo was unusually tough: "In any case, I don't agree to send Wuyou into the palace."

"What's wrong with the daughter of a side branch? You always have to rely on your family to enter the palace. What's more, you are the emperor's uncle and you can't get past this family."

It was the first time that Duke Wei Guogong saw his wife's tough attitude. He was a little surprised and said, "Think about it again."

The couple broke up unhappy.

The next day, Mrs. Luo called Lian Zhi to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Lian Zhi saw the gift from Mrs. Luo, and Mrs. Luo pulled Lian Zhi to sit on the couch next to her and asked, "Wuyou, you are now in the period of filial piety. In a few days, my mother will hold a banquet to officially You introduce me to everyone.”

Lian Zhi didn't want to be so pushy and replied: "Mom, didn't I introduce you before? There's no need to hold a special banquet."

Mrs. Luo saw that her daughter didn't understand, so she said more clearly: "You are also old, and it just so happens that at this banquet, you can meet a son of about the same age in the capital."

Lian Zhi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and Chen Shigao's face appeared in his mind.

That guy hasn't been teasing her like he used to do lately. Instead, he keeps giving her this and that, saying he's trying to apologize for what happened before.

Mrs. Luo was someone who had been here before. When she saw Lian Zhi's expression, she immediately became vigilant and asked, "Wuyou already has someone you like?"

"ah?"

"No, no."

Lian Zhi's face turned slightly red.

Mrs. Luo didn't understand anything when she saw it. She took Lian Zhi's hand and said sincerely, "Is there anything I can't say to my mother?"

Lianzhi herself had no idea. She felt that she just didn't hate Chen Shigao as much as before. If he was her ideal husband, it was not the case. It was just that he was always in front of her, so she could only think of him at the moment, so she said, "Mother, I really don't have one."

Mrs. Luo didn't force her, so she said, "Then take a good look at him at the banquet."

"Mother doesn't expect you to marry into a wealthy family. You are simple-minded and have been used to being free since childhood. As long as the person is of noble character and suits your taste, it doesn't matter if the family is lower."

Lianzhi nodded after hearing this. She didn't want to marry into a wealthy family either. She was not used to it and couldn't do it.

After thinking for a while, Lianzhi asked again, "Mother, didn't you say before that I'm not old and you want me to stay with you for a few more years? Why are you so anxious now?"

Mrs. Luo wanted to find a random excuse to get away with it, but she changed her mind and told her daughter the truth. First, her daughter would know what was going on, and second, she could take the opportunity to ask Lianzhi what she thought.

Then he said, "The emperor has ascended the throne, and the ministers in the court are all persuading the emperor to select concubines to expand the harem. Your father wants you to go."

When Lian Zhi heard this, his face turned pale and he shook his head hurriedly: "Mother, I won't go!"

Mrs. Luo heard this and said, "Mother knew it, so she asked you to settle down earlier."
