female concubine

"Young and heroic, although people around the world say that he is cynical, but seeing her today, my daughter thinks otherwise."

"The King of Chu? Who is the King of Chu?" The mansion newspapers of various newspaper offices are still being printed, and Xiao Yunze has been at home today, so he doesn't know.

Xiao Xianrong immediately looked at him coldly, and he shut his mouth and lowered his head in fright.

"The prince already has a concubine, who has a feud with us, and now the newly accepted Liangdi is extremely favored. If you were asked to choose between him and King Zhao, who would Sanniang choose?" Xiao Xianrong added: " Zhao Wang's mother and son are the most favored now, and not long ago, Zhao Wang asked the official family to marry you as a concubine, and the official family did not refuse."

The woman analyzed the pros and cons, and said for a long time: "Although Zhao Wang's mother and son are favored, but Zhao Wang is violent by nature and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Once he becomes a great treasure in the future, how can he tolerate people with high merit? The right to make this choice is handed over to the Duke’s Mansion, which is tantamount to refusing.” The woman smiled heartily, “It’s really clever to throw this offending choice into the Duke’s Mansion. The situation is turbulent again, if he rejects King Zhao, he will hurt the relationship between father and son, so we leave the problem to us. Choosing King Zhao is indeed the greatest confidence, but it is not a wise move. Only the unfavored King Chu, The Queen Mother of Chu’s family has no influence in the court, so if we choose the King of Chu, King Zhao will definitely hate him, and this will make King Zhao and our Xiao family check each other, and the Crown Prince will benefit.”

"Indeed, it is Zhengshitang who promoted the planning of this crown ceremony, and Pingzhangshi is the prince's grandfather." Speaking of this, Xiao Xianrong sighed, "Both King Chu and King Zhao are descendants of concubines, and there is little hope of choosing the King of Chu. Not to mention, it will also benefit the prince, there is still a lot of power in choosing King Zhao, it is better than the prince in the end, the prince is hypocritical, and he will repay his grievances, if he becomes a great treasure in the future, how can my Xiao family survive?"

"No matter how young, there is still hope. No matter how young, the King of Chu is also one of the three sons of the official family." She said those three words very emphatically.

Xiao Yunze, who was on the side, immediately understood after hearing this. The county king who crowned the ceremony today has been promoted to the king of Chu, and he heard that his sister seemed to want to choose the king of Chu, so he boldly said, "It's not right, three Mother, you must not choose that Chu king as your husband."

"Shut up!" Xiao Xianrong scolded.

"Daddy, let brother talk. He listens. If you have something to say, it won't be nice to keep it in your heart."

Xiao Yunze smiled foolishly, "Three Niang still understands me."

"Why did the second brother just say that he couldn't choose the king of Chu?"

"San Niang, do you still remember the night that my father punished me to return home late half a month ago?"

"Of course I remember, I begged for my brother."

"That night I ran into the King of Chu in a brothel in Kaifeng Mansion."

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Xianrong was furious again, but it was not his son who went to the brothel, "It is a felony to slander the prince, the king of Chu returned to Beijing the next day, and as a prince, how could he go to such a place!"

"Xiao Fu and the others went with their children that day, and they also saw it with their own eyes. The cloak was wearing the Tianxia Leyun Brocade used by the clan. Others didn't recognize it, and I didn't recognize it. Later, because of Siniang's incident..." said As he spoke, Xiao Yunze became timid, and even lowered his voice a bit, "He took out the goldfish bag, revealed his identity to me, and then took Si Niang away. If you don't believe me, Dad can ask Xiao Fu and the others. "

What Xiao Yunze said didn't seem to be false, the woman asked suspiciously: "Who is that Si Niang?"

"Then..." Xiao Yunze looked at his father, lowered his head, and said, "It's the lady who is an oiran in a brothel, and looking at it, she should be an acquaintance with the King of Chu."

"As a prince of the clan, how dare he..." Xiao Xianrong didn't blame his son, because he had already lost his mind at the time, "It seems that this cynical reputation is not empty, such a person, I'm afraid it's mud Can't hold onto the wall."

"Yes, yes, if you don't learn well at a young age, you must be a playful person if you go to a brothel. Sanniang, you marry her..."

"Isn't brother the same?" The woman immediately shook her head again, "The name of husband and wife is just for profit. I am in the Duke's mansion, and I have long since given up on declaring love to it."

She looked at her father again, "Daddy, maybe mud is the best."

"Ok?"

"Such a person is the easiest to control."

"But this rebellious son just said that he..." Xiao Hairong couldn't bear it.

"I am the daughter of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family raised me. Now that the Xiao family is in trouble, how can I stand by and just care about myself."

"And my daughter believes that the king of Chu is not a muddleheaded person. The official name Huan has ulterior motives. Going to Lianwen Zun Wangtong, so the names are distinguished to show the prestige. Therefore, starting from this dynasty, the single name is a privilege for the crown prince. rights, but the Huan script has another meaning!"

Xiao Youqing took out one of the five classics from the study room, opened it and pointed out: "Sui Wanbang has had many good years. The Heavenly Destiny Bandit Jie, Huan Huan Wu Wang. Keep the Jue Shi, in the four directions, and restrain the Jue family. Yu Zhao Yu Tian, ​​Huang Yijian Of."

"As long as the news of the single character is given, the king of Chu will ascend the throne, and it will be justified."

——Boom! ——

"Ah Lang, the Duke has sent a letter."

Xiao Yunze went out to pick up the letter and closed the door before returning to hand it to his father.

"What did Weng Weng say?"

Xiao Xianrong raised his head, "You and Weng Weng think about going together."

"King Chu!"

------

Coming out of the study, Xiao Yunze took his younger sister to a distance, "Youqing, do you really want to marry that king of Chu?"

"Ah."

"But..." Xiao Yunze frowned, "I saw him that night, and he ran to the stage and took the girl away without regard for face. Afterwards, I asked the mother in the brothel, and she said that he used to be a frequent visitor here, and he was with the brothel. The oiran's relationship is not simple, and if he stays overnight at night, I think it's probably a good thing."

Xiao Youqing smiled lightly, "If it's really like what my brother said, as the king of Chu, why don't you buy someone into the palace?"

"I'm doing it for your own good. If you marry him, what if he neglects you?"

"I don't need his favor, as long as he is obedient."

"Then don't you think about your future?"

Xiao Youqing looked at Xiao Yunze meaningfully, "The future of the Xiao family is the future of Youqing!"

A servant walked in from outside the courtyard, "Girl!"

"Got it?"

"My subordinates have made a clear investigation. Today, the women who are causing trouble in the palace are from the crown prince's mother's family."

"Sure enough, it's the prince." She smiled again, "Since the prince doesn't want the Xiao family to marry Zhao Wang, then of course I have to follow his wishes."

--------

Soon after the crowning ceremony, Zhaohua Pavilion.

"Under the door, the virtuous concubine Li, virtuous and virtuous, diligent and thrifty... is promoted to noble concubine."

The imperial concubine is the head of the four concubines. When the woman raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, "Concubine, thank you for your grace!"

Leaving the palace from under the gate, he arrived at the alley beside the Jinshui River in the outer city without stopping.

The official in Zhufu held the imperial decree, "Under the door... Bo Yuan Shanyin..."

"From now on, restore your title." After the official announced the decree, he smiled and helped the kneeling elder, "Congratulations, Uncle Shanyin, these are all rewards ordered by His Majesty. Not only have you restored your title, but even the county king During the coronation ceremony today, he was also crowned prince."

"Lu Shilang, since the official family restored my father's title, did you mention the official position?"

The official knew what he meant, so he patted it, "I haven't heard the official mention this, but now that the King of Chu is back in Beijing, the Earl's Mansion will have a good time."

After the official who announced the decree left, the plaque of the Earl's Mansion of Shanyin was hung again in the Li residence.

In one day, issuing three decrees at the same time is all grace.

"Finally, the officials remember Daddy. Now... oh, King Chu has returned to the capital, the crowning ceremony has passed, and Xuan'er has already passed the age of Ji, I think..."

"You bastard!" Li Ke, Boss of Shanyin, was furious, "How could you have any unreasonable thoughts about the matter of the Tian Family?"

"Daddy!" Li Xiaoyi was dissatisfied with his father's reprimand, "Concubine De is my younger sister, King Chu is your grandson and my nephew!"

"If you still have this little sister in your heart, then you should stop causing trouble for your wife and the King of Chu, and just stay at home to make amends! Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart."

Li Xiaoyi turned his head and gritted his teeth tightly.

"Ah Lang, someone from Ouchi is here."

"You are not allowed to go out these days, you should reflect on yourself at home!"

"father!"

Uncle Shanyin ignored his son's cry.

"Have you served tea yet?"

"As soon as the people came to the house, the villain let them go."

After a while, Uncle Shanyin entered the nave from the side, and saw the eunuch with his back to the screen.

"Oh, why didn't you notify me in advance when someone came from the palace." The smile was fleeting, "The tea is cold, hurry up and change a bowl!"

"Yes."

Seeing the master coming, the eunuch walked up to him and said, "Uncle Shanyin's face is radiant, the villain is happy for the noble concubine."

Uncle Shanyin grasped the words, "Is your concubine?"

"Uncle Shanyin doesn't know yet, the official has decreed today that the lady is promoted to imperial concubine."

"Heaven's grace is mighty, heaven's grace is mighty!"

"The villain came today, it was my lady who ordered Uncle Shanyin to enter the palace, and the key will be delivered early, and Shanyin should be tidied up, so let's go with the villain."

Uncle Shanyin was a little confused, "Entering the palace?"

"Uncle Shanyin, don't worry, this is His Majesty's approval for you to enter the palace to visit your daughter."

With the approval of the emperor, he was relieved, "Your nobleman, please wait a moment, let the old man change into decent clothes."
