Chapter 20
Unfortunately, before this day came, on the second day of the first lunar month, Gu Qinghua directly passed the Ministry of Rites, and simply passed through the clan's mansion, before ordering the imperial edict of the emperor's husband to be auditioned.On the third day of the lunar new year, Minister of Rites got the news. When he stumbled to the Yizheng Palace to report the news to Yizheng Wang, Yizheng Wang still didn't believe it, and immediately ordered people to go to the street to inquire, only to find out that everyone in the capital knew the news!
The King of Political Affairs was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Gu Qinghua's hands and feet to be so fast!But these two days were behind closed doors to plan and plan, they didn't leave the house at all, they didn't have any banquets, and they didn't know any news. Dongliu!

He didn't believe her nonsense!What dreamed about the first emperor, what the first emperor was worried about, everything was an excuse!How can there be such a coincidence in the world?The concubine had just tested her, and she dreamed that the late emperor cared about the emperor's heir?
He was unwilling, resentful, and unjust, and Mu Zhen was even more unwilling, resentful, and unjust, especially when he caught the sneer that flashed across Mu Tiannan's eyes as quickly as a shooting star, he couldn't bear it.

"Choose it!" Mu Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe it, I can't choose anyone else!"

King Yizheng glanced at him, sneered, and said, "Then go to the election! Tiannan will go too!"

"What!" Mu Zhen and Mu Tiannan said at the same time, and it was rare for them to be unanimously surprised.

"Father, this—" Mu Zhen was in a hurry.

"Father, I'm afraid—" Mu Tiannan hesitated.

"That's it!" Yizheng Wang snorted and glanced at them.

"What the prince said is very true. No matter how expensive the court is, who is more expensive than the prince's house? The son and the second young master should stand for the election together!" The Minister of Rites laughed.

The king of politics snorted, and said sinisterly: "Isn't she going to choose the emperor's husband? Well, this king will let her choose enough!"

The news of the female emperor's selection of her husband by sea was like a gust of wind, spreading quickly throughout the capital, and then quickly spread to all directions. In less than half a month, the entire Xi Kingdom and even neighboring countries knew about it.

From the important officials of the imperial court, princes and nobles, down to the common people, traffickers and pawns, everyone is talking about this matter and guessing the final result. In almost all metropolises, there are people who have set up gambling games on this matter. The son of the family may win and become a new generation of imperial concubine!
And the gossip about the candidates for the emperor's husband in various places has also become active at an unprecedented speed. Which family's son is both talented and beautiful, which family has a scholarly family, which family is famous, which family has power, and so on. The common people are discussing in full swing. What a joy, the young men of Xi Country have been commented on enough!Gu Qinghua learned that it was secretly funny. It turns out that not only women can be used as objects of gossip, but men can also be used.

There are two methods used to select the imperial concubine. One is to screen layer by layer, and the counties, states, and governments report layer by layer. All lists include a series of information related to the list, such as name, age, height, weight, talent, appearance, virtue, and family in-laws. , Tracing up the history of the three generations, family traditions, etc., all reported in the prescribed format; the other is to cross the locality, the family of the applicant man can go directly to the designated yamen of Zhai Fengcheng to register, and the final list will be compiled jointly by the clan mansion and the Ministry of Rites. Report to Gu Qinghua.If someone in a certain place hides the qualified candidates and does not report them, the local officials will be severely punished, ranging from dismissal from office to exile and ransacking their homes.

Gu Qinghua was very interested in this matter, so he ordered Liu Zhongming to urge him to get the newly compiled list every two days, so that the whole city and the whole world knew of His Majesty's deep interest in this matter, then There are really many things to say, some say that His Majesty puts the heirs of the royal family as the most important thing, and take the overall situation into consideration; …

A lot of these gossip spread to the government, to Gu Qinghua's ears, Aunt Su, Xianglin, and the eunuch Liu Zhongming were so angry that their chests felt tight, Gu Qinghua himself laughed it off, there was a lot of gossip in the office, what is this?The mouth grows on other people, how can she control what she loves?It would be better to have this as a cover. Her purpose is to make statistics and analysis of all kinds of intricate connections among the rich and powerful families in the world, and save a file. These things may be of great use in the future!

Moreover, the worse this incident is and the more attention it attracts from the people, the less the King of Political Affairs will be able to make trouble out of it. It will be harmless to her!
Once a childhood sweetheart, once a childhood sweetheart, once a happy relationship, once a vow of eternal love, once, from childhood to adulthood, every minute and every second we walked together, what we did together, the road we walked together, together The wind that has blown, the scenery we have seen together, forever, just once, forever, never going to the future!

More than a month later, Fan Kingdom Palace.

"His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness!" Little Yinzi ran back to Qingyun East Palace out of breath, and suddenly stopped in front of Prince Fan Qiying. He wanted to say something for a long time but couldn't speak.

Fan Qiying stood up with her hands behind her back and stared at him fixedly, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter? Did you get into trouble and get chased?"

Since being brought back from Xiguo by someone sent by his father and queen mother, Fan Qiying, who was originally bright and sunny, has calmed down a lot. Most of the time, he is not playing in the imperial garden, nor is he playing in the capital in disguise, nor is he in the capital. Riding horses and archery in the royal garden on the outskirts of the city—she is gone, who will he play with?Instead, they stayed in the East Palace, and they often stayed still for a long time, lost their souls, depressed, and their original handsome appearance also lost its former glory.He didn't say anything, but everyone knew who he was thinking about.Seeing this, Emperor Fan and Empress Fan couldn't even try to persuade him, he could only sigh secretly.

Xiao Yinzi swallowed his saliva, jumped anxiously and said: "His Royal Highness, just now I heard the emperor and queen say that Princess Tsinghua is going to marry—no, she is going to accept the emperor's husband!"

Fan Qiying's absent-minded expression changed abruptly, her body shook, she opened her eyes wide and shouted sharply: "What did you say!"

Little Yinzi was taken aback by him, and stammered: "Princess Tsinghua wants to accept the emperor's husband..."

Fan Qiying was stunned.Suddenly he grabbed Xiao Yinzi's collar, his hands trembled uncontrollably, stared at him, and said in a trembling voice: "She——you said it, is it true?"

Xiao Yinzi nodded sharply, and said: "This is what the servant heard from Wan Sui and the Queen Mother. Princess Tsinghua's mission is to choose a husband for the whole country. The date has been set in April..."

Fan Qiying's face turned pale and frightening in an instant, his heart ached as if he had stopped beating, his mind was buzzing, he was stunned, only Xiao Yinzi's words echoed repeatedly in his mind, she was going to accept the emperor's husband!

In other words, she is getting married!
