Chapter 168 Chapter 167: Jing Yuanzhao's Crown Princess
When it comes to the royal selection, if a noble daughter from a prominent and famous family is chosen as the crown princess, it will be like a tiger with wings added to Jing Yuanzhao's succession.

Empress Qin was very concerned about this selection and would never let herself lose to Concubine Mei Gui, but Jing Yuanzhao was absent-minded.

Empress Qin couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while.

Suddenly, a face flashed in her mind.

She looked solemnly, staring at Jing Yuanzhao, and said seriously: "Zhao'er, tell the queen mother the truth, do you still have trouble letting go of Feng Yao?"

The name "Fengyao" seemed to touch a certain nerve in Jing Yuanzhao, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a storm swept through his eyes.

This name seemed to be something he didn't want to touch.

His tone was calm: "The queen mother is too worried. She has passed away for so many years, and my son has long forgotten her." Picking up a cup of hot tea, he took a few sips with his dark eyes closed.

"Just forget about her," Empress Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly reprimanded: "Back then, you wanted to marry Fengyao as the crown prince, but I didn't agree with it. Those with little hooves are not obedient and quiet, but You were deceived by her wholeheartedly, and you did not hesitate to marry her from Beiyan to our Dajin."

After the man got married, she really didn't miss her. The woman's temperament was wanton and arrogant, and she was married to Dajin for about a month. Except for meeting once when she was married, she stayed in the East Palace and did not go out of the palace.

As a crown princess, she has never seen her come to Fengyang Palace to offer tea to her mother-in-law once, and once she bowed to her mother-in-law. face.

Seeing Fengyao's portrait for the first time, Empress Qin didn't like it very much, but Jing Yuanzhao was fascinated by her.

Speaking of Feng Yao, I have to pull out a secret court affair five years ago.

Jing Yuanzhao is 23 years old this year, and the position of the princess in the East Palace is still vacant.

In fact, five years ago, in that year, he married a concubine named Feng Yao.

Fengyao is the eldest princess of the Beiyan royal family, but she is not her own. She is the adoptive daughter of the Beiyan emperor. She was named a princess later, because the princesses of the Beiyan royal family are all young. At that time, Feng Yao, who was more than 14 years old, became Beiyan. The eldest princess of the royal family.

In that year, in order to promote friendly exchanges between Dajin and Beiyan, the young crown prince Jing Yuanzhao was sent to Beiyan to marry him.

At that time, the princesses of Beiyan's royal family were all young, and the only one who was suitable for marriage was Fengyao.

When Jing Yuanzhao saw Fengyao back then, he also fell in love at first sight.

But at that time, Feng Yao had no interest in him.

Jing Yuanzhao wanted to marry her wholeheartedly, so he traveled all the way back to Dajin with her portrait, and asked Emperor Hongyuan and Queen Qin for instructions.

Emperor Hongyuan had an indifferent attitude, but Empress Qin strongly opposed it. Just looking at the small face in the portrait, Empress Qin was not happy with Feng Yao.

However, Fengyao is the only princess of the Beiyan royal family who can marry, and Jing Yuanzhaofei does not want her to marry, so in the end Queen Qin still compromised.

In order to show his sincerity in begging Fengyao to marry him, Jing Yuanzhao spared no effort to use ten cities as dowry gifts, and finally got his wish and embraced the beauty.

After Feng Yao married to Dajin, except for showing her face on the wedding day, she stayed in the East Palace afterwards, never showing her face in public, and never interacting with the concubines and princesses in the palace.

Just one month after the wedding, the East Palace suddenly flooded one night and caught fire. Feng Yao couldn't escape and was buried in the sea of ​​flames.

Everyone in the palace knows that the crown prince loves the crown princess deeply, and the crown prince will definitely be distraught when the crown princess dies. In order to let the crown prince get out of this shadow, Emperor Hongyuan ordered in the palace that no mention of five years ago is allowed. In that fire, let alone the name "Fengyao".

Now more than five years have passed, and the concubine who passed away within a month after being newly married has long been forgotten. I have never seen her before, and her name was blocked by Emperor Hongyuan for so long.

Now it's not just people, if her name is mentioned, it's hard for anyone to instantly remember who she is.

That gorgeous woman back then was just a flash in the pan.

Jing Yuanzhao turned the teacup in his hand, and said calmly, "My mother, Feng Yao has been dead for so long, and my son has already left that relationship. In the future, it's better not to mention her again."

Now Jing Yuanzhao seems to be even more secretive towards Feng Yao.

Empress Qin felt very relieved, she quickly nodded in response: "Alright, alright, since you have already forgotten her, I won't mention her in front of you in the future."

Since he had already forgotten about that woman, Queen Qin was naturally extremely happy.

She continued: "Now the position of Crown Princess is vacant, no matter what, you have to choose a woman as concubine. I am worried for you in my heart, because I am afraid that the second child will overwhelm you by relying on selection."

If Empress Dowager Mei chooses a woman from a prominent family for Jing Chaoci, it will definitely help him in winning the heir apparent, and their camp will be in danger.

Jing Yuanzhao was neither impatient nor impatient: "Mother, don't panic, this kind of important matter should not be rushed, there is still a period of time for the selection, let the minister think about it, who is more suitable for the position of the crown princess."

It must be a woman who is even more powerful for him to ascend the throne. He needs to think carefully.

"Okay, I won't rush you for now, you should carefully consider this matter."

"Ah."

"."

The next day, Nan Zhuohua heard that Gu Zhijin was coming to the palace to attend a banquet today, so he also went to the palace.

The queen mother's invitations are all the noble daughters who have not left the court in the imperial capital, as well as the ministers who have orders, as well as the concubines in the harem and several unmarried princes in the royal family.

This is obviously a gimmick for viewing flowers.

Nan Zhuohua was not included in the invitation, and she could not accompany Gu Zhijin to the banquet when she entered the palace, so she could only go back to the Moon Palace and wait.

It was the first time for Gu Zhijin to enter the palace, and she felt apprehensive. After entering the palace gate, a court lady led her to the peony garden.

Looking at the high and deep city gates and courtyard walls around her, Gu Zhijin felt oppressed, and every step she took on the bluestone road made her feel like walking on thin ice.

Abai is right, the royal family is not her destination.

When they arrived at the Peony Garden, many people had already taken their seats. Gu Zhijin stood aside, a little embarrassed. It was the first time for many ladies and courtiers to see Gu Zhijin. Feeling sorry for her, I secretly guess whose woman this is.

"Ah Jin, here." Song Zhibai got up and waved to her at a seat far away.

With Song Zhibai around, Gu Zhijin's tense nerves relaxed a lot, and she sat next to Song Zhibai.

At that time, the invited ladies and courtiers took their seats one after another, and several princes of the royal family also appeared.

Later, Empress Dowager Mei attended, and she was supported by a delicate and beautiful woman. The woman was wearing a flowery skirt, with delicate buns in her hair, her willow eyebrows like smoke, and her complexion was beautiful.

She has an elegant and dignified demeanor, which is also top-notch among noble ladies in the imperial capital.

She supported Empress Dowager Mei to take the first seat, and Empress Dowager Mei asked her to sit beside her.

Being so honored and pampered, everyone also guessed in their hearts that this woman was the prostitute daughter of the Mei family, Mei Qinxue.
