The imperial concubine became a pampered girl by relying on food

Lin held back all the doubts in her heart, did not ask at this time, and asked again when she got home.

But Mrs. Lin didn't ask, the others were very curious, "Yunwu girl, I heard that Your Majesty has granted you a marriage with the son of Prince Shun's mansion. What's going on?"

The others pricked up their ears.

Yun Chujiu finally understood why everyone looked at her so strangely. It turned out that she was gossiping, "I met Prince Heng, and His Majesty happened to be passing by. I don't know why His Majesty gave us a marriage."

"If everyone wants to know, why not ask His Majesty?" Yun Chujiu opened his innocent eyes.

Everyone: "..."

Who dares to ask His Majesty!
What is the difference between that and courting death.

Someone asked again: "What about the girl from the Wei family who is with you?"

Yun Chujiu said vaguely: "The concubine Shu wanted to see her, so she was taken there. When the marriage was given, the concubine Shu was also there."

Gu Hualing sat beside her mother without saying a word.

Ever since she heard that His Majesty had bestowed a marriage on Si Jiuheng and Yun Chujiu, she felt something slipping away from her heart.

Originally, she could also marry Ah Heng.

Ah Heng was the boy she fell in love with at first sight when she saw him, but she didn't choose him because he was a dude and his family background was not good enough.

But now, she found that she played a good hand of cards poorly.

How is Jing Huai better than Ah Heng?
Gu Hualing's heart ached so hard to breathe.

The other concubines arrived one after another, and the imperial concubine was the last one to arrive.

The noble concubine glanced at Concubine Shu lightly.

She heard that just now Concubine Shu went to Yulong Palace to find His Majesty, and then went to Yuhe Pavilion with His Majesty, and His Majesty even bestowed a marriage on Si Jiuheng and Yun Chujiu.

She originally intended to let Yun Chujiu marry her natal nephew, but Concubine Shu did it like this, and it was all ruined.

Everyone stood up and saluted the ladies.

The imperial concubine smiled lightly, "You don't have to be cautious, girls, let's show off your talents."

Through the performances of the girls, she can roughly determine what kind of person they are, whether they are calm or petty.

Before entering the palace, many girls listened to their mothers analyze the purpose of the banquet, asking them to perform well and strive to become princes and concubines.

So everyone competed to perform on stage one by one.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to act.

After the girls had finished showing their talents, the imperial concubine's eyes fell on Yun Shixu, seeing her sitting upright with an extraordinary bearing, she smiled gently, "Are you the second girl from Dingguo's family?"

She knew a little about the girls and had seen portraits.

Yun Shijia was suddenly questioned, her heart tightened, "Yes."

"I think you are very good." The imperial concubine smiled, "You will be the second concubine from now on, let's find a time to get married."

Yun Shichao is Master Tu's disciple, and Master Tu was the concubine of the late emperor, even if His Majesty sees Master Tu, he must be courteous.

Yun Shichao's brother is a disciple of the Master of the National Teacher, and the status of the Master of the National Teacher in the Great Xia Dynasty is only lower than that of His Majesty.

Although the second bedroom couple of Dingguo's mansion are not outstanding, it is not a problem.

Her son's marriage to Yun Shicha means that there will be Master Guoshi and Master Tu behind him.

Yun Shi was startled.

The others were also taken aback, but they were not surprised.

The current status of the Dingguo Mansion is nothing in the capital where the rich and powerful are everywhere, but they have the disciples of Master Guoshi and Master Tu.

Let the Dingguo government take over all good things.

With these two, Duke Dingguo's Mansion can go even higher in time.

Lin's eyelids twitched, and suddenly she knew what the second sibling said to her this morning.

The second sibling didn't want Xiaoyan to marry into the royal family.

The second sibling said that if Xiao Xun was chosen to be the concubine, it would mean that Xiao Xun had already made a marriage contract with the young master of the first-rank general's Lan family.

Mrs. Lin smiled, "Imperial Concubine, Xiao Yu already has a marriage contract."

"Oh?" The noble concubine's eyes turned cold when she heard the words, "I heard that Yun Er girl once said that she would not talk about marriage for three years."

Lin: "..."

So you have investigated everything clearly, why do you want to let Xiaocha become the princess?
Lin was not humble and said nothing, "Xiao Yu did say such a thing before, but she has also reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage, and the second younger sibling of the minister's wife is in a hurry."

The imperial concubine ate a piece of neatly cut fruit, "Which family is it?"

She is willing to let Yun Shijia marry her son, which is already showing great face to Yun Shijia. Who among the noble ladies in the capital would not want to marry the prince and be crowned the next throne in the future?
Lin's savvy ones should happily agree to it. Even if there is a marriage contract, who will know if you don't tell it?

The information she investigated didn't say that Yun Shichao had already betrothed to someone else, Lin had better not fool her.

Others also looked at Lin one after another, with puzzled eyes.

Is there something wrong with Mrs. Dingguo's mind? Why did she refuse such a good opportunity to become a princess?

What kind of aristocratic family can compare with the prince?

Yun Shijia was nervous, her lips were tense.

Yun Chujiu quietly held her hand to comfort her silently.

Lin ignored everyone's gaze and said slowly, "Master Lan."

Everyone was surprised.

It turned out to be the Lan family. As a first-rank general's residence, the Lan family's daughter married well, no wonder they rejected the prince.

The imperial concubine said indifferently: "Without a marriage certificate, you can't count."

Lin's palms were sweating, but for the sake of her niece's future, she could only speak under great pressure, "But the second sibling has already talked with Mrs. Lan."

"Just wait until you see the auspicious day, and then make a decision. The court lady is very grateful for your empress's love for Xiaoxu, but your empress, let's choose someone else to be the second prince and concubine."

Everything has a first come, first come first, even if you are a noble concubine, you can't win love, right?

She knew that with her refusal, Duke Dingguo would offend the noble concubine and become a thorn in her side.

However, the Dingguo government cannot be involved in royal disputes.

Xiao Xun's temperament is soft and gentle, not suitable for living in the prince's harem where there are so many conspiracies and tricks.

The Lan family is a family of generals, so it is a good choice.

The imperial concubine was very angry, she really wanted Yun Shijia to be her daughter-in-law, but Mrs. Lin was right, and with so many wives and ladies watching here, she really couldn't do anything to force Yun Shijia to marry her son.

Once she did this, and it was heard by His Majesty, His Majesty would think she was some kind of vicious woman.

The noble concubine said lightly: "Since this is the case, I naturally cannot force it."

Lin let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Shi's brows and eyes relaxed, and her mood became more comfortable.

The imperial concubine scanned around, and finally chose a girl with a very good family background for the second prince.

The unmarried princes include the second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince.

The second prince was born of the imperial concubine, the fourth prince was born of the concubine De, the birth mother of the fifth prince was of a relatively low status, and the sixth prince was only nine years old, so he was not included in the selection of concubines.
