"Speak, be straightforward." Zhou Zhiyue sat down and listened to his answer.
Qin Yu coughed twice and said,"First, my princess must be able to write and fight. It's best if she's on par with me." Second, you don't have to be proficient in the four arts, but you have to understand me. Thirdly, I especially dislike the so-called daughters of noble families and descendants of famous families!”
"This?" Zhou Zhiyue didn't know what to say. Her face was full of helplessness."My son, if you're not deliberately making things difficult for me, then what are you doing? Consort Mother doesn't care, as long as your Imperial Father makes the decision.”
"Then forget it!" Qin Yuzhen was about to walk out when he saw the people outside the hall. He immediately bowed and said,""Father, your son pays his respects to you!"
Consort Liang quickly stood up to greet him.”
Qin Shilong was not surprised to see Consort Liang here.""Concubine Liang, zhen has come especially for my son. It seems that you already know."
"Emperor, you came at the right time. ChenQie was troubled by this matter.”Zhou Zhiyue repeated her son's words and said,""Emperor, what do you think?"
"Hehe, there are probably very few women in the world who can meet these conditions.”
Qin Yuyan tried hard to get rid of the beautiful figure in her heart and said,""Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, it's not that there aren't such women, it's just that you can only meet them by chance.”
"Since Zhen has already said it, I will definitely not repent. How about this, let the Ministry of Rites take care of it first and recruit all the women into the palace, according to the standards of the Crown Prince taking a concubine. Who would be chosen in the end would depend on the arrangements of the heavens.”
Qin Yu didn't want to make things awkward, so she said,""Yes, Imperial Father."
"Hehe. I'm not sure. You and I haven't talked for a long time. Why don't we go to the Fortune Palace for a small gathering?”"What do you think?" Qin Shilong looked at Consort Liang.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Zhiyue was overjoyed.”
And in the Blessing Welcoming Palace, when Empress Li Huaici received the task of replacing the crown prince and taking in a concubine, she showed an unusual sadness. Seeing that the Empress was unhappy, Li Mi, the personal maid, hurriedly said,"Empress, the imperial kitchen has changed a new dish. Do you want to try it?”
"Bengong doesn't have the appetite to eat.”"Sigh, I thought that Prince Ning would become the Crown Prince once the Crown Prince died, but he went back to the palace." Li Huaici sighed.”
"Niangniang, Prince Ning is already the Crown Prince.”"Please relax, Your Majesty. Things will always go in a good direction."”
"That's because you don't understand." "It's only my fault that I only gave birth to two princesses," Li Huaici said."I didn't even have the chance to marry a concubine for my son."”
Li Mi did not say anything, but she seemed to empathize with him.
Li Huaici glanced at her and said,""If you want to laugh, then laugh."
"This servant doesn't dare." Li Mi knelt down and said.
"No matter if it's Prince Ning or the Crown Prince, they're only my sons in name." BenGong is not fated to be the Empress Dowager in this life.”She lowered her head in silence.
Li Mi couldn't bear to see her master upset, so she looked up and said,"Empress doesn't need to take it to heart. Ning Wang is filial to you and will definitely be a pillar of the country. At that time, you will also be the Empress Dowager who is the mother of the world.”
"Shut up!" Li Huaici glanced at her, but said,""Stand up. It's tiring to talk while kneeling.”
"Many thanks, Empress." Li Mi stood up and couldn't help but say more,"Even if the Empress blames this servant for speaking too much, this servant will still say it." Prince Ning followed the rules and would be the Empress 'puppet.”
"A puppet? BenGong doesn't like this word. Don't say it again in the future, otherwise Consort De will twist your tongue if she hears it.”"Prince Ning is easy to deal with," Li Huaici said."It's just that this crown prince has just stepped down from the crown prince's position and has already caught up with taking a concubine. This matter is not easy to handle."”
Li Mi suddenly burst into laughter.
"You wretched girl, what are you laughing at?" Li Huaici looked at her. Is bengong's words funny?"
"Niangniang, the emperor only told you to take care of the matter of taking concubines, but he did not say that you must find the best and most beautiful one for the crown prince.”
"Oh right, bengong is confused.”Li Huaici casually picked up a fruit and passed it to her."Eat, this is a reward for you."
"Thank you, Empress!" Li Mi kept the fruit in her arms.
"Then I'll find him an ugly one with no manners." Li Huaici said as she thought. Hehe, this is good. It's indeed a good idea.”She smiled sinisterly.
"Empress is wise!" Li Mi boasted, but she still flinched in her heart.
Regardless of whether Qin Yu was willing or not, the matter of the crown prince taking in a concubine was like wings. In less than two days, it spread like wildfire. The streets and alleys were filled with notices, and the crowd was excited for a moment.
Because the Empress had said that as long as a woman of the right age had a clean family background, regardless of whether she was beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, she could participate in the ceremony. Such good news was hard to come by in a hundred years. It was so good that it made those women who wanted to become phoenixes feel bad. The entire capital was bustling with activity. Cloth shops and jewelry stores were bustling with customers, and even those selling rouge pollen were making a lot of money.
Long Yin had been meditating for nearly four hours in the Clear Sound Pavilion of Myriad Beauty Palace. In the twenty days since Ah Meng left, her Xiunu Heart Technique had improved by leaps and bounds, and she had already reached the fourth level. As soon as she stopped cultivating, Long Mingyue came in.
"Mother, you've returned from the Imperial Palace. What did the Emperor say?”Long Yin asked. A few days ago, her mother had just finished her seclusion and was invited to the palace. They were well aware of this, but they remained silent.
At this moment, Long Mingyue's expression was not very good. She quietly walked to her daughter's side and sat down. She said,"Yin 'er, you and I are people of the pugilistic world, but we can't escape the matters of the palace. I was indeed muddle-headed back then, that's why I got into big trouble!”
"What exactly happened?" Long Yin said calmly,"I swear to live and die together with the Ten Thousand Elegance Palace!"”
"That's not that serious. It's just that I'll have to trouble you.”"Last time, the Third Prince suffered a setback in the Myriad Beauty Palace but didn't return in time. I didn't expect that someone would cut off his right arm while he was touring the mountains and rivers." Long Mingyue explained.”
"How did this happen?" Long Yin was a little surprised. Put the blame on Myriad Elegance Palace."
"Something like that. His life was saved, but he became a cripple. The emperor was furious and wanted to punish the Ten Thousand Beauty Sect!”
"What is it? Then how did you defend yourself?"
"I tried my best to persuade the Empress to let go. As long as we complete a mission for Da Yuan, we will let bygones be bygones.”
Long Yin thought about it and said,"Mother, the Emperor wouldn't want the Ten Thousand Beauty Sect to find the murderer who cut off the Prince's arm, right?"”
Long Mingyue frowned and said,"The Mu Qin Country has always been a thorn in the Emperor's side."
Before she could finish, Long Yin said,""Mother, I understand. The emperor wants to use us to harm the Mu Qin country.”
"You really know everything." " Their Crown Prince died in the Dayuan Kingdom," Long Mingyue said." However, his body has yet to be found. The Emperor was afraid that there was a trap, so he wanted to send someone to infiltrate the Mu Qin Kingdom." Coincidentally, the Third Prince's incident happened, so she wanted us to make up for it.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 15PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185:55PM
