The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 928: Concubine Selection 1
In Yuanpinghou's Mansion, a sedan chair stopped, and a middle-aged man in official uniform came out with the support of the accompanying servants.

Several house slaves were standing outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, all of them stood there with their waists hooked, while the old butler walked out quickly to welcome them.

"Master Hou, the second master has brought some young masters and ladies here, and they are having tea in the main hall right now!"

Hearing this, Xue Jingyan nodded, and then walked into the gate of the mansion.

But before he reached the main hall, his second brother Xue Jingyu came out to welcome him.

"Haha... Brother, I haven't seen you in half a year!"

"Second brother, you are back, everything over there has been arranged properly?"

Xue Jingyu replied: "Brother, don't worry, those who oppose our Houfu have already gone to hell!"

These things shouldn't be so publicized, so Xue Jingyan reminded: "Second brother... what kind of hell, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing the change in his brother's tone, Xue Jingyu also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he replied: "Yes... my brother is talking nonsense!"

After signaling the accompanying housekeeper and servants to retreat, Xue Jingyan asked about the specific process, and he would not be able to tell if there was any mistake in such a matter.

After some questioning and confirming that there were no omissions, Xue Jingyan put his heart back in his stomach.

"That is to say, today, if it were the Taizu Taizong, the things our family did, I am afraid that it would be trivial to cut the noble!"

After Xue Jingyu said this, he saw that his elder brother was uncomfortable, so he asked, "Brother... Could it be that he has encountered some trouble again?"

Sighing, Xue Jingyan replied: "Just now when I came out of the palace, I learned that the emperor has made a decree to marry Yun'er to King Yong!"

"King Yong? Is it His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"Ok!"

"To be a concubine?" Xue Jingyu asked again.

Xue Jingyan nodded, then sighed again.

"Marrying the prince and having a high status is Yun'er's blessing. Why is the elder brother so sad?" Xue Jingyu wondered.

Looking around, Xue Jingyan said: "Now the ministers of the whole court are dissatisfied with King Yong. If my family accepts marriage with King Yong, I'm afraid they will be angered by the courtiers!"

"Brother, this...you are overthinking it!" Xue Jingyu frowned.

Although he is not in the court, he is generally aware of the situation.

Now that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is crowned king, the matter of seizing the heir to the queen of the vassal will come to an end, and the hostility of the courtiers will naturally disappear, and there will be talk of angering the Marquis.

On the contrary, if the prince is a vassal, he will definitely receive a lot of rewards, let alone Zhao Yanxun, the favored vassal king, the emperor will definitely compensate him more.

Prince Yong's Mansion is extremely rich, if the daughter of the Xue family becomes a princess, she might be able to help the Xue family financially, what a great thing this is.

It is really unnecessary for the eldest brother to worry about this.

Of course, Xue Jingyu also knew that his eldest brother had always been cautious, but a little too cautious, but this was not a bad thing for the family.

"Go... go drink tea!"

"Please!"

When the two were walking, a young man appeared in front of him, and the two servants behind him were holding a wooden box in their hands.

"Meet uncle, father!"

"Yutong, you didn't come to the Marquis Mansion even if your father wasn't here? Could it be that I'm afraid that my uncle will eat you?" Xue Jingyan said calmly.

The boy's name is Xue Yutong, the eldest son of Xue Jingyu.

"My nephew is studying, so..." Xue Yutong stammered.

"Okay, read... What kind of shit book are you reading, maybe you're fooling around somewhere!" Xue Jingyu scolded.

As a father, he knows best the virtues of his son.

"What did you take?"

"It's a gift from the Zhen family. It's said to be a gadget from Miss Zhen's family to the sisters!"

Hearing this, Xue Jingyu was even more angry. It's nothing for such a big man to spend a day away from his official business, and hang out with his sisters.

"Let the boy deliver the things, and you will serve with us!" Xue Jingyu said angrily.

"Yes!" Xue Yutong lowered his head even lower.

On the other side, Xue Jingyan sighed, his two sons were also useless.

There are no successors in the Hou's Mansion, so what will happen in the long run, many of the founders of the country have fallen.

Different from the oppression in the front yard, in the garden on the northeast side of the Hou Mansion, a crowd of warblers and swallows were laughing and playing.

The things that Xue Yutong brought had already been distributed to Miss Zhu, and everyone was sitting in the gazebo to rest after playing enough.

"Second Sister, Young Master Zhen is really infatuated, unexpectedly came up with such a way to show his heart!"

"In my opinion, my sister should also write some poems, make some paintings... and give it to others!"

"What are you talking about? I think you should just tell the Elder Master, and let the Zhen family propose a marriage!"

Even Xue Baoyun was calm, his face became hot when he heard these words, he picked up the fan and threw it over.

The woman in green dodged while talking, still teasing: "The two families are family friends, if the elder sister is married, wouldn't it be even more intimate!"

"You guys are enough, don't dare to talk nonsense... I'll report your drinking!" Xue Baoyun looked annoyed.

Just like that, the pavilion became quiet, and the topic was diverted elsewhere.

Between the two sisters, they will never really hold grudges, so they are happy again after a while.

For the young master of the Zhen family, Xue Baoyun couldn't say how much he liked it, because he was also a dude.

But she also probably knew that according to the wishes of the two elders, Xue Zhen's family would definitely marry, and maybe she would really marry this young master of the Zhen family.

"Second sister, second sister..."

The hasty shouts attracted the attention of all the fangs in the garden, and everyone's eyes swept over.

The person who came was Xue Yucheng, the second son of Xue Jingyan, who is now 13 years old, a lively and active age.

Running into the gazebo, Xue Yucheng drank the tea and immediately said, "Second Sister, I just got some important news!"

Xue Baojun taught him a lesson: "Look at you, how many times did your father teach you to be prudent...but you are still out of shape, and you don't know how many beatings you will need to change!"

A bright-eyed girl next to him continued, "Third brother, you were spanked by your father a few days ago, be careful to ask you for a book again today!"

"Father may not be in the mood to ask me about books today. Something big is going to happen to our family!" Xue Yucheng said slowly.

"What's the big deal?" Everyone was aroused with curiosity.

Xue Yucheng likes this feeling of being admired by all the stars of his sisters.

"Speaking of which, this big event has something to do with the second sister!"

A girl couldn't help asking: "What's the big deal, tell me quickly!"

Xue Yucheng then said: "Just now I heard from my father that the second sister has been selected as the princess, and the canonized imperial edict will come down in two days!"

Hearing this, all the sisters present were greatly surprised, and immediately chattered.

Xue Baoyun, who was the person involved, was completely dumbfounded at the moment, because everything happened so suddenly.

After being questioned in detail by all the sisters, Xue Baoyun also learned more about this matter.

It turned out that she was going to marry King Yong, and to be his concubine.

Princess... that is an incomparably precious status, can I do well?

"Congratulations to the second sister, you have found a good son-in-law..."

"I heard from my father that His Royal Highness King Yong is the emperor's favorite prince, and he almost became the prince!"

"Ah... Doesn't that mean that the second sister still has a chance to become the crown princess, the queen?"

Seeing these people talking more and more outrageous, Xue Baoyun immediately scolded: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that she was really angry, everyone calmed down a lot, and then found a new joke.

As for Xue Baoyun, who was sitting in his original position, his heart was pounding like a deer.
