Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 634 One main concubine, two concubines on both sides (1 more)
After satisfying everyone's appetite, Emperor Guangxi solemnly said, "Shoufu Yang has devoted himself to the imperial court's clothing and food all these years. Needless to say, his character is precious, and the granddaughter he teaches must be a good girl who is chaste, quiet, leisurely, kind and gentle. I intend to bestow a marriage on the second lady of your mansion, but what about Yang Shoufu's wishes?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

The second daughter of the Yang family, Yang Xueru, is the granddaughter of Yang Shoufu.

With such a status, he is tall, but Yang Shoufu is from Duan's mother's family, and Duan's mother has a second prince. The royal family has never had father and son, let alone brothers.

Even though the second prince is still young, everyone knows that sooner or later the two brothers will confront each other.

Then it was tacit understanding who Yang Shoufu was facing in his heart.

Now Emperor Guangxi wants to betroth Yang Shoufu's granddaughter to the crown prince?

There is a deep meaning in this!

Zhao Xi was also slightly taken aback.

Yang Shoufu secretly found someone to deal with Song Wei. He just found out a few days ago, and at that time he mentioned to Emperor Guangxi that he planned to marry the daughter of the Yang family.

Song Wei is not only his cousin's husband, but also a hero who helped him to be in the East Palace. Once he married the daughter of the Yang family, no matter how angry Yang Shoufu was towards Song Wei, he would not dare to act rashly from now on.

It's just that Emperor Guangxi refused at that time.

Zhao Xi thought that his father would re-arrange the choice of concubine for him, but he did not expect to listen to his proposal and choose the daughter of the Yang family.

Empress Qi frowned upon hearing this.

Yang Shoufu is the uncle of Concubine Duan, how could the emperor arrange such a regular wife for Xi'er?

She wanted to refute, but Emperor Guangxi had already opened his mouth. If he interfered in front of the wives of officials, he would be slapping the emperor in the face.

After thinking and thinking, Empress Qi swallowed the words, but felt very uneasy.

The palace maid Jing Zhe saw Empress Qi's face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the emperor must have considered the candidate carefully, so don't worry too much."

Empress Qi pursed her lips.

How could she not be worried?
Since the crown prince was appointed, although Yang Shoufu did nothing, everyone with a discerning eye knows that he is for the second prince. As long as Emperor Guangxi does not die and the prince does not succeed to the throne, the second prince has a chance to pull the prince down.

Even though he is just a toddler now, the backstage is tough, with Yang Shoufu on the outside and Emperor Guangxi pampering and protecting him on the inside.

Empress Qi even wondered if Emperor Guangxi appointed such a concubine for the crown prince because he wanted the Yang family to invade the interior and abolish the crown prince, so that in the future the son of that slut could inherit the throne smoothly.

Thinking about it, Empress Qi was so angry that she almost crushed the wine cup.

Everyone bullied Xi'er's natal family for being powerless and bullying her natal family, right?
At the hundred officials' table, Yang Shoufu's face turned even greener.

The daughter of his Yang family was going to marry off to accumulate power for the second prince, and he had calculated thousands of times, but Emperor Guangxi came so unexpectedly.

Once Ru'er becomes the crown prince, the Yang family must turn to assist the crown prince, so what about the second prince?
The more he thought about it, the more Yang Shoufu felt that he was being calculated.

Song Wei's seat was not far from him, and he smiled when he saw this, "Master Yang, is this too excited? Why don't you thank me?"

Yang Shoufu turned his head and glared at Song Wei. After struggling for a long time, he got up and walked forward to kneel, "Old minister..."

He wanted to say that Ru'er had already been betrothed to someone else, but before he could say anything, Emperor Guangxi laughed loudly, "Yang Shoufu is really straightforward, so the choice of the crown princess is determined like this. When the crown prince reaches eighteen years old, I Then let Supervisor Qin Tian watch the day and prepare for the big wedding of this couple."

Yang Shoufu was so angry that he blew his beard, but he didn't dare to stare, and said in a trembling voice: "Old minister, thank you Long En."

Emperor Guangxi smiled with satisfaction, let him lie down, and then looked at Empress Qi, "The concubine was chosen by the empress herself, you can tell me which two you have chosen."

In Dachu, all the prince's main concubines and side concubines are required to be on the imperial jade certificate, so the side concubines also have to go through some screening, and the empress nods.

As for the concubines and wives below the side concubine, the prince can decide on his own.

Hearing Emperor Guangxi's voice, Empress Qi restrained her emotions, and looked at the wife seat.

Two concubines.

The first one is from her natal family, named Qi Xuan.

After Empress Qi was canonized, her natal family followed the "chicken and dog ascended to heaven" and was made a marquis.

Although she has no real power, the family background of the Zhang's Mansion is not low, not to mention that Qi Xuan is still the daughter of the prostitute.

The other side concubine is the daughter of the prince Taifu, named Dong Han.

From these two candidates, it is not difficult to see that the queen has selfish intentions.

For one thing, her natal family had nothing to do in the court, so they could only arrange people to the East Palace to consolidate their position.

Secondly, Zhao Xi was able to have what he is today, thanks to the contribution of the prince and the prince. Empress Qi chose the daughter of the prince and the prince, both as gratitude and as a win-win, hoping that he would be able to assist the prince more and more in the future.

Regarding this, Emperor Guangxi had no idea, Empress Qi had a fiery temper, it was very rare for her not to have a dispute with him on the selection of the concubine.

After Empress Qi finished counting the names of Qi Xuan and Dong Han, she looked at Emperor Guangxi, "I wonder if the emperor has any objections to the selection of the side concubine?"

It's just a side concubine, not a main concubine, so Emperor Guangxi naturally didn't care so much, and waved his hand, "Since you are choosing a side concubine for your son, how can the queen's vision be bad?"

This is a definite meaning.

Empress Qi felt a little more at ease after hearing this.

The three girls who were selected were all present, and when Empress Qi finished speaking, they all came forward to kneel and thank her.

Yang Shoufu looked at his precious granddaughter heartbroken, as if the cabbage he had grown for more than ten years had been crushed by a pig.

Zhao Xi, who licked the cabbage at Shoufu's house, looked at Yang Shoufu's dark old face, a smile overflowed from his eyes, and soon disappeared.

Although the original intention of marrying the daughter of the Yang family was to get Song Wei out of the predicament, Zhao Xi did not fail to consider it before making his decision.

As the second prince's biggest backer, Yang Shoufu, if he doesn't find a way to dismantle their family's power, once the second prince grows up in the future, it will become a disaster.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi turned his gaze to Zhao Nuo who was sitting next to Concubine Duan.

This child, who has such a strong background at a young age, is much luckier than himself.

The three girls knelt on the ground with blushing faces. Empress Qi was giving a lecture, and she didn't say anything too much. She just told them to cultivate themselves and learn the boudoir etiquette well, so that they can enter the Eastern Palace to serve the prince in the future.

The three of them responded in unison.

Empress Qi waved her hands, "Everyone go down to the table, it's cold, the food and drinks should be cold in a while."

So the three of them got up slowly and returned to their seats the same way.

Looking at the three people who were full of glory, the noble ladies who were not selected all cast complicated glances.

Lin Xiaoyue whispered to Wen Wan: "Your Majesty has a good eye. The second girl of the Yang family looks pretty good-looking to me."

Wen Wan smiled, and said in her heart that the emperor would make the daughter of the Yang family a princess, it must not be because she is good-looking.

It's just that it's not their wife's turn to intervene in the court affairs, so Wen Wan can only swallow her own thoughts, echoing Lin Xiaoyue and saying, "Miss Yang Er is indeed very beautiful."

"It's a pity." Lin Xiaoyue said: "In front of the prince, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she will be overshadowed."

This is true, the crown prince's glamorous appearance is probably only comparable to Yun Liulang, who is well-known in Suzhou.

As for the girl, Wen Wan has not seen anyone standing next to the prince without being overwhelmed.

On Song Yuanbao's side, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard clearly that Ye Ling was not among the three candidates.

Seeing this, Ye Rong snorted softly, "Don't be delusional, even if you don't become a prince, my sister won't marry you."

Song Yuanbao smiled and said, "It's up to you whether she will marry me or not, according to the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

Ye Rong drank the wine and did not speak. After a while, he asked Song Yuanbao, "Mrs. Zhenxihou is here, why isn't your aunt here?"

Song Yuanbao didn't see that aunt in the Xu family very often, so he didn't know why she didn't come. He frowned, "Isn't Aunt Jia your senior sister? You don't even know, how could I know?"

"Pretend I didn't ask." Ye Rong downed another glass of wine, as if feeling bored at the banquet, got up and went out for a walk.

The banquet lasted until noon, during which the singing, dancing, singing and dancing were changed several times, and the food and wine on the table were all cold.

After the banquet was over, Yang Shoufu and his wife took their granddaughter Yang Xueru into the carriage.

Yang Shoufu's face was sullen, and his wife, Mrs. Cui, saw that he was in a bad mood, so she tried to persuade him: "It's all booked, master just let nature take its course."

Yang Xueru said: "The granddaughter did not expect to be chosen by the emperor, but the matter has come to this point, the emperor's order is hard to violate, it is useless for grandfather to think too much, now we have to be careful, otherwise people will see that our family is not happy, Maybe it will be arranged in front of the emperor."

Having said that, Yang Xueru couldn't be happier.

She has always maintained her noble background and extraordinary beauty, and looked down on ordinary officials and eunuchs, but she admired the prince very much, but it was a pity that the Yang family was the second prince's backer, and she was destined to miss the prince. She did not expect a surprise from heaven , the emperor directly selected her as the crown princess.

Thinking of the prince's extremely handsome face, Yang Xueru wished that two years later, she would be able to marry Feng Guanxia gracefully.
