Chapter 15 Choosing a Marriage Princess

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Chen comforted her and said, "You just lack self-confidence. You are a dignified empress, the emperor's wife, and you are the master of the harem. I don't know what you are afraid of?"

What is she afraid of?Empress Chen's face turned painful, her cowardice was an irreparable flaw in her life.Because of this flaw, she couldn't justly ask Gong Qinglong for some love and affection.

Thinking of it, tears slipped down, and quickly wiped them away with a shark handkerchief.

Empress Dowager Chen shook her head, very dissatisfied with Empress Chen's self-pity and self-pity, she patted Empress Chen's sign language and said earnestly: "Yi'er, you have to fight for something yourself. The three thousand women in the harem will use their own methods. You won't be able to wait for the emperor if you stay quietly in Fengqi Palace. Your appearance is no worse than Ruan Zhaoyi, she has been able to please the emperor for so many years, you really need to study hard."

"Yes, aunt." Empress Chen replied obediently.

After a little silence, the Empress Dowager Chen changed the topic and said: "I heard that when Prince Danci was fighting against our country, he was surprised to see our women's beauty, gentleness and delicateness, so he wanted to marry Qin and Jin. The two countries wanted to make peace. way to end the war?"

"Yes." Empress Chen said, "A few days ago, the emperor discussed this matter with the ministers. It was finally decided to choose a girl who has reached the age of 15 from among the officials of the fifth rank and above to be canonized as the concubine princess. Sent to Danci to marry Prince Raha."

Empress Dowager Chen smiled lightly and said: "How can a real princess be sent to live in a barbaric and desolate place like Danci? Naturally, she can only be a canonized princess. It's just that I don't know whose daughter will be chosen. Marry In such a far away place, even if the family is bestowed with honors, it must be very painful for the parents."

"The emperor is also unwilling to end the war by means of marriage and ruin a girl's life's happiness. But other than this, there is no other simpler and quicker way." Empress Chen said, "Dan stabs people are brave and good at fighting, and it takes a while to It is also quite difficult to calm down. If it is not for the sake of the painful life of the border people, it can save tens of thousands of war expenses a year, and the emperor will not agree to such a bad policy."

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son." The Empress Dowager Chen asked, "It seems that today is the time to choose a princess for marriage? Is it in Wanjing Garden?
"Yes, I'm going to go with... Ruan Zhaoyi." Empress Chen said.

"Go with Ruan Zhaoyi?" Empress Dowager Chen raised her eyebrows and snorted, "Your Majesty is really confused. He spoils Ruan Xiangsu so much. Your lord of the six palaces stays alone in the palace, but he let a It's outrageous for Zhaoyi to go beyond his authority and accompany him to choose a marriage princess."

Empress Chen lowered her head and remained silent, acting like a little girl who was angry when she was wronged but dared not speak up.
