After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 66 A Marriage for King Jing

After the concubine left, Jian Jia ordered someone to remove the tea, and seeing Sheng Baoling rubbing the center of her brows, she knew that she had another headache, so she immediately stepped forward and rubbed for her.

"Didn't your empress not want to get involved in His Royal Highness Prince Jing's affairs before, why did she change her mind now?"

Jian Jia remembered that Sheng Baoling had clearly held a passive attitude in the matter of King Jing before, but now, he has changed his mind and has to worry about King Jing's marriage instead.

If this picks a concubine Jing with a prominent family background, it will offend the official family.

If this picks someone from a mediocre family, it will offend the concubine.

But it is really a thankless job, and it is really hard to satisfy both parties.

What's more, His Royal Highness King Jing...

Jian Jia looked at Sheng Baoling, feeling really hard to say anything, some things, if you see through it, don't tell the truth, once you tell the truth, you won't be able to return to the original state.

But the empress is a confused couple, so what if they know something in the future?
"After all, the official family is still young. It would be a blessing if King Jing is there to help." Sheng Baoling already had a measure in his heart.

Rather than gamble to support a little emperor, it is better to support King Jing, and let the two check and balance the status quo.

Jian Jia listened, but she was relieved a lot. For some reason, she was always worried. She always felt that the official, although young, was always invisible and dangerous.

It's not as reassuring as His Royal Highness King Jing and Mr. Pei coming.

It is also a good thing that the empress is a little wary of the officials now. Both sides should get closer and keep the way out.

...

The next day, Sheng Baoling summoned Jing Wang, and the portraits of all the noble girls of the right age in Beijing were placed in front of Jing Wang.

Sheng Baoling had a smile on his face, "You have also reached the age to start a family. These are all things that Aijia thinks are good. Do you think there is something you like?"

Looking at the dozens of flower statues on the table, King Jing's eyes were obviously darkened, "The Empress Dowager Lao is worried, I don't have the heart to marry a wife yet."

When he looked at Sheng Baoling, his hands under the sleeves tightened slightly, but they quickly loosened.

Jian Jia on the side looked at it, feeling a little embarrassed and worried.

What could be more uncomfortable than the person you like urging you to get married in front of your eyes.

Sheng Baoling frowned, and took out a few portraits from the collection, "Get married earlier, settle down, and stay in Beijing, so the concubine can be happier."

"In the past few years when you were not in the capital, your mother and concubine have always missed you."

"The officials are still young, and you need to take care of everything."

What Sheng Baoling said, King Jing heard every sentence in his ears, but his mind was always "buzzing". After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Does the Empress Dowager also want my ministers to stay in Bianjing?"

Sheng Baoling was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect King Jing to ask such a question suddenly.

Jian Jia's whole heart was raised, and she looked nervously at her mother, lest Sheng Baoling would notice something from King Jing's words.

However, Sheng Baoling heard King Jing's words, but thought that King Jing had guessed that he intended to keep him in Beijing to cultivate a force to compete with the little emperor, so he asked further questions to confirm.

She said in a deep voice, "If you can stay in Bianjing, the concubine and the officials will be happy too."

Hearing this, Jian Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

King Jing's heart sank, and it was difficult to breathe. The hall was extremely hot and oppressive.

He finally took over the dozens of portraits and sat aside. Every time he looked at a portrait, someone stood by and read his name, tabooing any official position in the court with his father and brother.

They are not particularly prominent families, but they are all loyal and courageous, pure ministers who really care about the court and society.

Sheng Baoling looked at King Jing's reaction invisibly. These were all carefully selected by her. Her family background and her father and brother were not as prominent as those chosen by the concubine, but they were all extremely capable but lacked people who have had a chance.

These people, as long as they are given some opportunities, they will be able to make a blockbuster and make great achievements.

Such a person is the most suitable for blinding the little emperor's eyes, so that the marriage can pass the little emperor's test and settle down steadily.

King Jing is not stupid, when he sees these people, he can probably understand what Sheng Baoling means.

He put the scroll aside, "It looks good, the empress dowager decides."

He didn't have much thought about who would be the Princess Jing, since the person he wanted couldn't, it didn't matter who it was.

This is the life of the parents.According to the matchmaker, the children of the royal family have never been in charge of their own marriage.

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, without giving way, took the portrait, and you picked out three of them from inside, and placed them in front of King Jing, "The ones from the Qi family, the Sun family, and the Li family are all about the same age. The temperament of the girl's family has also been investigated, and it is very good."

As she said that, she moved the portrait towards King Jing again, as if she was afraid that he would lose sight of it, so she kept placing it in the center of his line of sight so that King Jing had nowhere to hide.

Looking at the portraits of those three people, Jing Wang felt a little bitter in his heart.

Sheng Baoling's vision has always been good, and the ones she picks are naturally excellent, and they won't be far behind.

Prince Jing was restless, and casually pointed to one of the portraits, "That's all."

Sheng Baoling raised his eyebrows slightly, but was a little surprised, "Miss Qi?"

King Jing didn't know who Miss Qi was, who was the girl from the Sun family and the girl from the Li family? Hearing Sheng Baoling's retort question, he concentrated on taking a serious look at the portrait.

It's not that great though.

After a while, he nodded slightly.

Sheng Baoling couldn't help but stare at the portrait of the girl Qi a few times. She really looks good, and I heard that she is obedient and obedient.

Come to think of it, Prince Jing would like it.

I just don't know, if these three portraits were given to Pei Ci, who was as cold-tempered as he was, would he bang his head against the wall and not choose any of them?
...

King Jing is getting married, and preparations are being made both in the city and outside the palace.

And just as Sheng Baoling expected, the little emperor was delighted when he learned about it, especially the people in the imperial dining room found it very obvious, and drank several bowls of soup in one afternoon.

Especially thinking that the dowry prepared by the Qi family for their daughter will be pitifully small, it makes her feel more at ease.

The less the dowry, the more embarrassing it is for King Yu Jing.

In the eyes of outsiders, King Jing seems to be down and out. He is clearly the prince of the dynasty, but in terms of food, accommodation and transportation, when he was young, he was embarrassing compared to the little emperor. It was pitifully poor.

"Before the girl of the Qi family gets married, please ask someone to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to make some simple repairs."

It's always necessary to let the girl of Qi see the Jing Wang Mansion that has been repaired before.It can't be as shabby as before, so that it can show the royal family's importance to this marriage.

Jian Jia also knew what Sheng Baoling meant at this moment, after all, the officials were waiting to see King Jing's jokes, so it was obviously unreliable.

In this case, it can only be the empress who opened the mouth and asked someone to go to the Prince Jing's mansion to repair it.
