Chapter 74: Decree to marry

"Father is definitely concerned." Bei Mingxiao said.
The two came out one after another.
An Xia deliberately quickened his pace: "We must keep our distance now, you stay away from me."
Although the person who secretly watched him died, he was the person behind that person. He must have known the fact that the two of them were close together. Today, Mo Yuan was also shaken out.
Bei Ming smiled, looking at An Xia nervously, only found it interesting, suppressing the inner mood of wanting to come forward to tease, until An Xia's back disappeared.
"Third princes, please stay." Unexpectedly, Concubine Yan's voice came from behind.
"Is there anything wrong with the concubine?" Bei Mingxiao stopped, his tone was faint. He has always avoided the women waiting for the palace. Now Yan Xinyue has just been executed, and the concubine Yan is looking for it, I'm afraid there is nothing good. .
"The crown princess looks gorgeous and has a gentle temperament. It's no wonder that the three princes will fall in love." Yan Guifei said with a soft smile, there were still tears in her eyes, but she did not bow down and bowed her head in front of others.
Bei Mingxiao's expression changed, his whole body stiff and numb, his eyes were cold and he looked at Concubine Yan Gui: "Concubine Yan said carefully."
For a moment, he moved to kill, and quickly let go.
He understood that the greater his emotions, the more guilty he felt.
He and An Xia are indeed very close, and he also has some other thoughts, especially knowing that the prince has never trusted An Xia, and this time he did not come forward to say a word for An Xia.
"My palace is just joking. Why should the third prince take it seriously? If this palace is a man, he will definitely be attracted to the prince. It is a very normal thing for a woman like this to be sought after, but it depends on the ability to get it. Now." Concubine Yan's red lips closed together, like an evil spirit lobbying and coaxing.
Bei Ming Xiao frowned, he was too lazy to listen any more, and turned around and left.
"Niang, are you not afraid that the prince would know what you said?" The court lady beside Yan Gui concubine couldn't help but ask, looking cautious.
Concubine Yan Gui snorted coldly: "My palace just told the prince to listen to it. Are you afraid that he would know it? You said that because of a woman, brothers turned against each other, isn't it a good show?"
It was sundown when An Xia returned to the East Palace, and the hangover prince had not yet woken up, but the queen was already in the palace.
Seeing An Xia coming in, the palace lady hurriedly went in and gave a message. After not much effort, she saw a mother who said: "The queen has a purpose, and the prince has an audience."
Regarding the relationship between An Xia and Bei Mingxiao, the queen was very angry, but now the prince and the princess had just been given to death, if the prince concubine again, I am afraid it will shake the prince's status.
"An Xia, it's okay that you are fine. This palace is not at peace for a moment in this palace. Send people in the past to say that you are okay, and this palace is relieved." The queen still looks kind, no different from the past.
An Xia hurriedly congratulated her. After all, the queen had always been on her side, and had already offended Concubine Yan Gui. She must not offend the queen again.
The queen deliberately shook her face: "What are you saying thank you to the child and the queen? Although you are not from the house, since you are married to Xian'er, then you are the child of the house, so why are you still so different."
"Yes," An Xia nodded: "Worry the queen mother."
"As long as you have a good chord, the queen is willing to give no matter how much." The queen took An Xia and sat on the soft collapse, chatting about the family, but she hated her in her heart.
This woman dared to hook up with other men with her son behind her back. If it weren't for the fact that she had to rely on the power of the An family to consolidate the crown prince's position in the court, she would like to immediately put her to death!
An Xia didn't know what the queen was thinking, and she only thought that the queen's enthusiasm was probably due to the love of the house and the black, and didn't think much.
The prince woke up quietly in the evening, and naturally he was reprimanded by the queen, but he didn't even think about it.
"The crown prince is so majestic, and she can still retreat from the father's place." Bei Mingxian was so drunk that he was drunk in everything he said.
An Xia took a few steps back with disgust: "What the prince said is too profound, and the concubine does not understand it. If there is nothing to do, the concubine retires."
There is no reason to be with a drunk person, not to mention a point of respect and inferiority. It is not good for yourself to stand against the prince.
At the same time, Wei Siyuan returned to the general mansion and reported to the old general what happened today in the court. He was a little bit unsure about the ambiguous relationship between Bei Mingxiao and An Xia.
General Wei Lao has a lot of grades, not to mention that Wei Siyuan was brought up by him. He knew what he was going to do with just a look, "If you have something to say! What kind of man looks like hesitating?"
"Grandpa, cousin, she seems to be with the third prince..." Wei Siyuan hesitated to say, after all, An Xia has become the prince princess, and walking too close to other men will definitely suffer.
"The third prince?" General Wei Lao frowned. Their Wei family relied on military service to make a fortune, and they have never participated in the affairs of standing in the court.
Although the prince was standing now, the uncles of the country all beheaded to show the public, which also made the prince's prestige plummet.
Even so, if the emperor did not abolish the prince one day, then Bei Mingxian was still the prince.
An Xia won't be confused, right?
General Wei Lao pinched his gray beard and walked into the inner hall without a word. This matter was of great importance, and he had to think about it.
Since the uncle’s treason and escaped, the court’s support for the prince has become less and less, and the old emperor’s body has been weakened day by day.
Recently, courtiers were asked to play, asking other princes to be named kings, to build a palace and establish another residence.
In general, the princes in the palace have to move out of the palace when they reach adulthood, but now the princes are still young, and the prince lives in the East Palace, and they are not divided.
If another mansion is to be established, the most urgent task is to give marriage to the princes.
The marriages pointed out to the princes are naturally not as simple as ordinary people, at least they must be the daughters of high-ranking officials of the imperial court, with noble status and graceful conduct.
Although it was only the princess, many people squeezed their heads.
The scrolls sent to Kunning Palace in the past few days have been piled up like a hill. Although the queen is the lord of the harem, the prince’s family matters are of great importance and must be discussed with the emperor.
"The prince and the princess were executed, the prince still needs to accept a few more side concubines." The queen muttered to herself, holding a picture scroll in both hands. On the left is the daughter of the Ministry of War and the right is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites.
One is sick, the other has power, and is in a dilemma.
But if they all order the side concubine, I am afraid the emperor will not agree.
Bei Mingxian's expression was a bit ugly, he didn't like these women, but he was very passive now in the court, and he couldn't help but not consider the choice of Na Fei.
"The prince also came to have a look. These two are beautiful women. The queen mother is getting older and her eyes are a little bad." The queen stretched out her hand and handed out the scroll.
The lady of the palace stretched out her hand to take it, and passed it to the prince's hand. The fine brush on the thin scroll of cicada-wing outlines the beauty of the body, gracefully and moving.
If you say it is a choice, it is really difficult to choose. They are all ladies of famous background, their looks are also good, and their wealth is also unequivocal.
The choice is only to choose the forces behind it, whoever is more useful will choose whom.
"The old fox in the book of the Ministry of War is simply a wall of grass. He was wagging his tail and begging to turn left and right around his ministers. Now that something happened to his uncle, he is running fast. If her daughter becomes a concubine, he can't help him if he doesn't want to work hard. "With a flick of Bei Mingxian's fingers, he tossed aside the portrait of Shangshu Qianjin from the Ministry of Rites.
The queen nodded, with a smile on her lips, she felt relieved. Just now, she was still worried that Bei Mingxian would miss such an opportunity because of her dissatisfaction with the Ministry of War. Now it seems that her worry is unnecessary.
The prince has really grown up.
"The Book of Etiquette is in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple, and is connected to most of the royal family. Condensing in one place is also a force that cannot be underestimated. Your father will definitely not point you to the daughters of the two families. Who is the most suitable person to point to others?" The queen was lost in thought.
Bei Mingxian was silent, if it were placed in the past, he would definitely betroth this woman to Bei Mingxiao, but now.
"Mother, the second brother has always been low-key, and his body is weak. Why don't you point this daughter to him? So that the father and the emperor don't think that the sons and ministers have no care for the younger brothers?"
"Second prince?" The queen frowned and nodded immediately: "Alright, it's just the third prince. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the son of the mother's queen. If you don't choose a good marriage, I'm afraid your father will also be there. I won't agree."
Beiming Xiaoyouyou smiled, "Why the queen forgot, Zhao Zhiqiu is really anxious to marry the third brother, not to mention that he once took off his clothes and ran in the palace, and the third brother also watched it. If you are not responsible, then the people will definitely want to It’s better to talk about how imperial children bullied the people..."
"My son has grown up." The queen took a deep breath, only to feel refreshed.
The imperial decree of marriage was issued one by one, and everyone was delighted, only one person was very depressed.
It can be said to be melancholy.
Mo Yuan hurriedly came to find Bei Mingxiao and invited him to the mansion, but Bei Mingxiao said nothing, and his face was extremely dark.
"I've also heard of the young lady from the Zhao family. She looks good at her appearance. Although she was a little awkward with the princess before, it's not hurtful. Besides, you also looked at the girl's body and didn't suffer from marrying." Mo Yuan comforted.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, what can be done?
The daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War refers to marriage to the prince, who is the prince's side concubine, and the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Ritual refers to the marriage to the second prince, who is the second prince's concubine.
Speaking of it, the three powers are still the greatest of Zhao Taiwei.
The queen knows about Zhao Zhiqiu. Although the Zhao family is glorious, it must also consider the power of the settlement. As the saying goes, fish and bear paws cannot have both. Zhao Zhiqiu once had misconduct, which is even more disliked by the queen, let alone still Ringworm all over his face looks terrifying.
Therefore, the marriage was given to the third prince, but what kind of help can be obtained from the family for such a famous woman?
On the contrary, he would be ridiculed by the world with the three princes.
Although Mo Yuan knew this well, the emperor's words were hard to change, and now he can only comfort Bei Mingxiao.
"I won't get married." For a long time, Bei Mingxiao's eyes ooze out a hint of chill, which seems to be cold for thousands of years, and everything around him is like a layer of frost.
He didn't want to marry, he didn't have a big relationship with Zhao Zhiqiu, but he felt irritated in his heart.
"The imperial edict is like a mountain." Mo Yuan sighed.
Those who can compete with the emperor's waywardness, I'm afraid...
