Queen is fearless

Chapter 117 Candidates

"Master?" Jing Sui stood in place, watching King Rui walk away, and the maid came to him, calling out in a low voice.

She came back to her senses and took a bite of the candied haws, "Let's go, let's go shopping for a while and find a place to have dinner!"

The maid responded and followed her to the front.

King Rui brought candied haws, and specially selected some good pastries in the capital, and brought them into the palace.

Right now, Gu Jinzhi is talking to Zhou Jing in Longgan Palace.

The final selection took place on March [-]th, when the palace servants returned to the palace today, Gu Jinzhi was informed about the situation of Princess Yangguo in the future.

"What do you think of Jinzhi?" Holding Gu Jinzhi's hand, Zhou Jing asked her what she meant.

Anyway, she is also the princess of Laiyang Kingdom, even if she is not allowed to enter the palace, she has to choose someone similar to her to marry.

Who to choose, however, is the question.

There are quite a few royal family members of the right age, but Zhou Jing really doesn't like some of them.

I heard that Princess Jingsui, who came to the Great Zhou Dynasty, is the most beloved princess of the king of Laiyang Kingdom. Since this is the case, she can't just give her someone.

It's too disrespectful. This important marriage is a woman's life. There were also women who were married in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Everyone hoped that their daughters in their country could marry a good man.

"This matter is really embarrassing for me. I don't know much about the royal family members of the right age." Gu Jinzhi is a queen, and the royal family members, although they are members of the royal family, are mostly men.

She is a queen, so she has nothing to do to inquire about unrelated men, so what the emperor said is really a problem for her.

"Otherwise, leave this matter to the queen mother, and let the queen mother arrange it." The royal family members, to the queen mother, are all juniors.

Being idle in the palace is also idle, just for the queen mother to pass her matchmaker addiction and draw a few more lines.

"If the queen mother finds out, it was you who said this, and if you don't keep it, I will throw you out next time." Covering her lips with a smile, don't look at the queen mother looking at the kindness, and no one can do anything about it.

"Report to the emperor, King Rui has arrived." Yuan Bao's voice came from outside the hall, and Zhou Jing responded, holding Gu Jinzhi's hand and sitting down.

King Rui carried his things into the hall, but he didn't expect Gu Jinzhi to be here, and quickly saluted the empress respectfully.

Seeing what he was holding in his hand, Gu Jinzhi smiled and asked him to get up.

"Last time, thanks to the prince's candied haws, the emperor and this palace ate a lot more."

When he got up, the palace servants took the candied haws and pastries from him.

While dinner was still being prepared, Gu Jinzhi took the candied haws and took a bite. It was sweet and sour, and tasted very good.

"Why are you here so late?" Zhou Jing let go of Gu Jinzhi, sat at the table, and greeted King Rui to take his seat.

"Something happened on the way, so I was delayed." He didn't intend to talk about being hit by a candied haws, it was too embarrassing.

After listening to him, Zhou Jing chatted casually with him without asking any further questions.

Gu Jinzhi sat on the soft couch, ate candied haws, and looked at King Rui. Thinking of what she had just told the emperor, she couldn't help but feel agitated.

King Rui was sitting on the chair, he could feel the Queen looking at him.

He stretched out his hand and stroked his hair subconsciously. Could it be that there was something on his head that the wife of the emperor saw?

Zhou Jing seemed to feel it too, turned her head to look at Gu Jinzhi, saw her gaze fell on King Rui, and asked her with her eyes.

Gu Jinzhi pouted at King Rui, then looked at Zhou Jing, and made a gesture with his hand. King Rui saw it too, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Zhou Jing, on the other hand, thought about it carefully, suddenly realized that, she looked away, and looked up and down at King Rui.

"Brother Huang, Sister-in-law Huang, what are you two doing?" Both of them looked at him, which really made people feel creepy.

King Rui stood up, subconsciously covering his chest with his arms.

Gu Jinzhi burst out laughing with a 'poof', and Zhou Jing glared at him angrily, "Put your arms down, what else can I do to you?"

"The emperor's brother and the emperor's wife are playing charades, and the younger brother is really at a loss. Naturally, I feel uneasy. If you have something to say, can you still say it?"

King Rui sat down again, just now he was next to Zhou Jing, now, there is a chair separated.

"Look at your courage..." Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Jing looked at King Rui, "It's nothing. Before you came, I was talking about the draft with your sister-in-law."

"You also know that the final selection is about to begin. This selection is for the royal family members of the right age. What is more unexpected is the arrival of the princess of Laiyang Kingdom."

"I don't want the princess to enter the palace, but depending on the identity of the other party, it's not easy to find someone to perfunctory at random. It happened that you came, and your sister-in-law looked at you and thought you were very suitable."

King Rui doesn't have a main concubine yet, although there is a side concubine in the mansion, but the relationship is not good, it's better to say that they respect each other like ice.

Like Zhou Jing, King Rui has no heirs yet, so in this draft, he must choose a concubine for him.

Although the princess of Laiyang Kingdom is the most beloved daughter of the ruler of Laiyang Kingdom, she can only be a concubine when she enters the palace.

In the future, when the queen is pregnant and the first prince is born, regardless of whether there will be any children born in the harem, this status is determined.

Instead of staying in the palace and being a concubine, it would be better to marry some prince and become a princess.

Besides, King Rui is good in all aspects, Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzhi both feel that it is very suitable.

Hearing what the emperor said, King Rui couldn't help thinking of the woman he saw on the street who claimed to be Jingsui.

Although she was dressed in men's clothing, she was unmistakable, she must be a woman.

"What are you thinking about? Could it be that you have someone you like?" King Rui went to Beijing in the new year, and now he has lived in the capital for three months.

He lived outside the palace, so he met a young lady from a certain family, and then he fell in love with her.

If this is the case, naturally his wishes will be the main priority, and other things will be considered second.

"That's not true. It's just that I just remembered that I met a person on the street just now. It seems to be the princess from Laiyang Kingdom. I heard that the princess has not entered the palace yet?"

"Well, everything that needs to be prepared and inspected has been done. It's just that the other party has a special status, so he arranged to live in the post house. He will not enter the palace to participate in the selection until March [-]."

Gu Jinzhi opened his mouth and explained to King Rui. Thinking of what he said, Gu Jinzhi thought for a while, "Your lord saw it, is it really Princess Laiyang?"

"Chendi is not too sure, but just happened to meet, she said that her name is Jingsui, if I remember correctly, the surname of Laiyang Kingdom is Jingzi."

When he said this, Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzhi looked at each other, they both knew the name of the princess.

"It seems that the two of you are destined to each other. It must be. Then the name of the princess of Laiyang Kingdom is Jing Sui."

Looking at King Rui again, Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, thinking of something, she handed over the small statue she had sent from Yangguo to Qingluan, and asked her to send it to King Rui.

"Look, is it really her?"
