After Yu Ying'er's rebirth, she became addicted to teasing Concubine Hua
Chapter 121 Deciding on the two princes' wives and titles
The noble lady who spoke was Qingying of the Ulanara clan. She was now wearing a blue cheongsam with flower petals embroidered on it, which was also very beautiful, and set off Qingying's vitality and youthfulness. At this moment, she was smiling with her eyes full of smiles, and the arrogance on her face was not concealed at all. No matter how you looked at her, she was very confident and real, unlike the dull and pretentious person.
Feng Ruozhao thought of Ulanara Qingying's identity and her relationship with that man, and forced a smile that seemed gentle but actually showed disgust. In his heart, he just prayed that his silly child would not fall for this master.
"Okay, Princess Qingying counts as one, but is there anyone else who wants to join?" Feng Ruozhao looked at the noble ladies and concubines below him, trying to use his eyes to signal his sisters to help him solve the problem.
Shen Meizhuang was originally a member of Feng Ruozhao's faction, and after Zhen Huan passed away and the Queen Mother moved to the temporary palace, she became even more taciturn. All day long, she was either frantically mourning Zhen Huan and taking care of Xihe, or following Feng Ruozhao around.
Because she instinctively supported Feng Ruozhao unconditionally, Shen Meizhuang immediately received Feng Ruozhao's gaze and said in agreement, "I am willing to do the same. I will just consider it as a show of support for Her Majesty."
Shen Meizhuang always spoke in a stiff manner, but since her meaning was conveyed, no one said anything more.
Shen Meizhuang agreed and said she would support them, so how could the noble ladies dare to say they would not participate? If they said no, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the empress in power? The empress in the palace was supporting them, so how could they, the servants and common women, dare to go against the tide?
"Your servants are willing to participate." The noble ladies below responded one by one. No one dared to say that they were unwilling, and they all actively participated in the program.
Feng Ruozhao nodded in satisfaction, and then planned activities such as flower viewing, banqueting, reciting poems and painting, flower-fighting games, and worshiping the flower god. As they went on one by one, the sky gradually darkened.
After all, the ladies are my wives, so it is not appropriate for them to stay in the palace for too long, let alone stay overnight. After all, they have not yet been chosen as the royal daughter-in-law, and staying overnight outside is really a disgrace to their reputation. Therefore, when Feng Ruozhao saw that it was getting late, he gave the ladies gifts for attending the banquet and sent the palace servants to escort the ladies out of the palace. He did everything very sensibly, and it was impossible for others to find fault with him.
After all the noble ladies left, Feng Ruozhao looked at Fei Yunyan and asked with a smile, "Does Sister Lipin have any favorites? You must give some advice to the Fourth Prince."
"I don't have anything to advise Fourth Prince. He certainly knows what's going on. I also believe that Imperial Noble Consort Jing and the Emperor will arrange everything. Just rest assured." Fei Yunyan stood up, saluted, and spoke softly with her head slightly lowered.
Although she always wanted to have a child to raise like her sisters, how could she take care of such a big kid when the emperor gave him to her!! He was already a teenager with memories, how could he be close to her? So although Fei Yunyan treated Hongli well, she was not close to him. She was unwilling to participate in the matter of choosing a bedmate, fearing that she would have a grudge against him in the future, which would make it even more difficult to take care of him.
Hearing this, Feng Ruozhao expected this, so he smiled and said, "Then let the two children come up and tell us what they think. I can also report the two princes' wishes to the emperor."
After saying this, Feng Ruozhao called the two princes to come forward.
"Your son greets Imperial Noble Consort/Madam. Best wishes to Imperial Noble Consort/Madam." Led by the palace servants, Hongli and Hongzhou came in front of the ladies. They were two young men who looked a little immature. One looked energetic and proud, while the other looked a little weak but his temperament was not inferior to the other, and he even had the bearing of a nobleman.
Feng Ruozhao raised Hongzhou for many years, and Hongzhou was a sensible child, so the relationship between the two has always been good. Whenever Feng Ruozhao saw Hongzhou, there was a smile on her face, with the radiance of a loving mother.
"You two have met these noble ladies through the screen today. So, do you have anyone you like?" Feng Ruozhao asked after he signaled the two to stand up, following the emperor's instructions to let them pick one they like.
Hongli first glanced at Hongzhou, then at his nominal adoptive mother, and then he said, "I think Fucha Gege is quite pleasing to my eyes. Apart from that, I only like Ulanara Gege and Gao Gege. As for the others, I can't tell them all, so I won't comment on them."
The ones he chose were, first, those with prominent family background, second, those that person wanted, and third, those who had benefited from the previous dynasty. As long as he got them, it would be extremely beneficial to him.
But even though he wanted it, Hongli still pretended to be really attracted to the girl, not seeking fame or wealth, but just liking her at first sight.
Feng Ruozhao nodded slightly: "I will definitely report to the Emperor what the Fourth Prince wants." After that, she looked at Hong Zhou again, and her words became more gentle, "Hong Zhou, what about you?"
"I will follow the arrangements of the Emperor and Mother." Hong Zhou knew his physical condition very well and had not thought of delaying any of the girls, but the Emperor's order was hard to disobey, so he would leave the matter of choosing a wife to the Emperor. He only wanted a legitimate wife, and others did not dare to hope for it. As for the fact that he felt guilty towards his wife, he would have to make up for it in the future.
Feng Ruozhao could more or less guess what Hong Zhou was thinking. He still felt uncomfortable when he thought about what Hong Zhou had gone through before returning to Beijing.
"Okay, I will convey your thoughts to the emperor, but the emperor has to make the final decision on this matter, so you should be mentally prepared." Feng Ruozhao only said this to Hongli. She really didn't expect how Hongli had the courage to ask for such a high price, and even dared to ask for two popular daughters-in-law, Fucha and Gao.
The two princes nodded quickly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Noble Consort/Mother, I understand."
The flower-viewing banquet was over, and Imperial Noble Consort Jing asked everyone to disperse and instructed many palace servants to clean up the place.
On the way back, Yu Ying'er saw that Fei Yunyan was distracted, and thought that she was still the Fourth Prince's mother on the surface, and what she had just said must have been out of helplessness.
"Sister Li, are you still thinking about what happened just now?" Yu Ying'er was pulled by Nian Shilan, but she did not forget to care about others.
Fei Yunyan came to her senses after hearing this and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I just thought that time flies. I used to long for a child of my own, but now, my son is getting married soon. I haven't had time to develop feelings with him for long. I can't react quickly enough."
This is somewhat ironic. In order to save face, the emperor gave Hongli to Fei Yunyan to cover up his shameful past, but he never thought about whether the two were willing, nor did he think about how Concubine Li could raise such a big son.
"Although the Fourth Prince is no longer a child and has very few things to worry about, Sister Keli should not be too negligent. Now that you are the Fourth Prince's nominal adoptive mother, if he gets into any trouble, I'm afraid the Emperor will implicate you as well. To the Fourth Prince, you just need to fulfill your duties as an adoptive mother. At least you need to do these things in front of others, so that no one can hold you responsible." Yu Ying'er made all these arguments clear and Fei Yunyan nodded as she listened and took note.
The rest of the people around them all smiled, and looking at Yu Ying'er and Fei Yunyan, they felt as if they were watching a daughter growing up.
……
Feng Ruozhao reported everything about the banquet to the emperor, and also told the two princes what they were thinking. Finally, the emperor decided on the candidates for the two princes' principal wife, concubine, and princess.
The fourth prince, Hongli, was given the title of Baobaole, and Ulanara Qingying was granted as his principal wife, Anjia as his concubine, and Jinjia as his princess.
The fifth prince, Hong Zhou, was granted the title of Prince He, and was given Wu Zhaku as his principal wife, Ma Jia as his concubine, and Cui as a princess.
The emperor also ordered that the three princes be allowed to attend court affairs together, learn how to govern a country and be an official, and strive to become good ministers who can assist the king.
On the day when the imperial edict was issued, before it even left the palace, Hong Zhou hurried to see the emperor. In the end, no one knew what he said to the emperor. The imperial edict was revised again and again before it was released to the Yangxin Palace. In the end, Hong Zhou was only given a legitimate wife, Wu Zhaku, and his title of a county prince was changed to a prince.
A good move is to retreat in order to advance.
Although Hong Zhou asked for this grace because he did not want to hurt more women, and the emperor really promised him a princely title because he loved his foolish son. But this did not erase the cleverness of Hong Zhou, who could not compete for the throne due to his physical condition and could seek benefits by pleasing the emperor, and he also made good use of this point.
