Chapter 495; Speculation
Lu Yaoyao was also very curious about this.
I was just thinking about Xirong and Duke Zhen, so I didn't pay much attention to this matter.
When she heard the big guys mention it, she turned to look at Cheng Lixue and asked, "Who will Prince Ning choose to be his concubine?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Not to mention, Sister Princess, you are really amazing, you actually guessed it early."
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask, "Is it really Wu You? What about Han Li from the Han family?"
"Concubine."
"Oh? She didn't make any noise?"
Cheng Lixue shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of any commotion, but with the current situation of the Han family, my father said that even if they are dissatisfied, they would not dare to make a commotion."
"And the position of concubine is not bad at all."
At this point, she lowered her voice and whispered to Lu Yaoyao; "My father said that if King Ning comes to the throne in the future, Han Li will at least be a noble concubine. It is too late for the Han family to be happy, so how can there be trouble."
Come to think of it, the Han family is now seeking the blessing of Duke Zhen Guo. Isn't the purpose of it just hoping that they can get the benefits of stability after King Ning comes to power?
It is a good thing for Prince Ning that the Wu family has joined. In their opinion, this will definitely increase the possibility of Prince Ning ascending to the throne. There may be some dissatisfaction, but most of them are probably happy.
"It's strange to say that anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but why does the Emperor have no objection at all?"
Dong Shaner also whispered.
"No, the emperor has objections. It's just that the queen begged and said,"
Wen Miaomiao beside her also spoke, and she looked at Lu Yaoyao as she spoke.
"She also said that she originally had her eye on the princess's sister and she already missed it once. She doesn't want to miss out on another daughter-in-law that she is satisfied with."
"And I heard that Duke Zhen was also very supportive of this, so the emperor had no choice but to agree in the end."
Hearing this, Dong Shan'er was startled, but then she was relieved.
Wen Miaomiao's grandfather was Wen Songtao, one of Emperor Hongwen's most trusted confidants. Although her father was the right minister, there was still a Dong family behind him. Although Emperor Hongwen also valued her, when it came to trust, it was still
Far inferior to Wen Songtao.
"Now that the Duke of Zhen has come forward, it's hard for the Emperor to object even if he wants to."
Cheng Lixue shook his head and said.
"Tell me, who will Xirong marry this time?"
"It seems that the only grown-up person under the emperor's knees is the second prince."
Prince Ning already has a main concubine and a side concubine, so it is unlikely that he will continue.
But Lu Yaoyao didn't think much of the second prince.
Firstly, the power of the second prince is too weak. Even if he is supported, he will not be able to compete with Prince Ning in a short time.
Emperor Hongwen doesn't have that much time now, so he plans slowly.
Secondly, Xirong can be regarded as Emperor Hongwen's sword this time, and this sword is meant to hurt people.
If it is the second prince, who will be hurt?
"I remember that the prince can have two concubines."
As soon as she said this, Dong Shaner and others turned to look at her in surprise.
"Sister Princess, don't you think that Princess Xirong will go to Prince Ning's Mansion to be a concubine this time?"
"How is this possible? It's impossible."
"To put it nicely, she is a concubine, but not a concubine? Although Xirong is a little weaker at first, it is not like this."
"Of course, if it's for the emperor, that's a different matter."
As soon as Wen Miaomiao said these words, Dong Shan'er and Cheng Lixue nodded repeatedly.
"I'm just talking casually. Besides, the current situation in Xirong is different. You may feel aggrieved. After all, you are here to ask for help."
"Do you think Princess Xirong will be able to help Xirong even if she becomes the second prince's concubine?"
The three of them were silent.
They also knew very well what was going on with the Second Prince.
Xirong really may not choose him, so what if he is given the position of concubine?
In the end, her role would definitely be inferior to that of Prince Ning's concubine.
At least becoming Prince Ning's concubine would be regarded as having a relationship with Duke Zhen Guo.
"Don't say it's really possible, but there is another possibility."
Cheng Lixue stared at Lu Yaoyao as he spoke and continued, "In addition to the emperor's prince, we also have a prince."
"Prince Jin? No way, this is absolutely impossible."
Wen Miaomiao directly denied Cheng Lixue's speculation.
She had heard from her grandfather how much Emperor Hongwen valued Lu Yaoyao. Would Emperor Hongwen do such a disgusting thing?
It is definitely impossible. If this is not done well, it will arouse Lu Yaoyao's resentment, and then there will be a rift in the relationship.
Emperor Hongwen would never want to see such a thing happen.
"Well, I don't think it's possible either."
Dong Shaner also shook her head.
However, Lu Yaoyao, who had been watching the show, was really frowning at this time.
Why? Because she felt that Cheng Lixue's hypothesis might really happen.
Emperor Hongwen wanted to use Prince Ning to attack Duke Zhen. Wouldn't Duke Zhen use this incident to cause problems in her relationship with Emperor Hongwen?
In other words, Duke Zhen Guo had noticed the cooperation between Emperor Hongwen and Prince Jin, and wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the relationship between Emperor Hongwen and Prince Jin.
"Sister Princess, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
"Prince Jin cares so much about you, so he will definitely not agree to it, and it is impossible for the emperor to agree to it either."
Sensing that her expression was wrong, Cheng Lixue also knew that she had said the wrong thing and quickly made amends.
"Well, it's okay. Of course I believe them."
Although she said this, the three of them could see that she was seriously hiding something.
Dong Shan'er and Wen Miaomiao both glared at Cheng Lixue, and Cheng Lixue lowered her head in a scornful manner, as if she knew she was wrong.
Soon, the banquet started. Lu Yaoyao and others entered the room. Not long after they sat down, Emperor Hongwen arrived.
Also coming with him was Queen Wang.
This banquet is mainly to entertain the prince, princess and envoys of Xirong. It can be regarded as a state banquet, and the Queen and the Queen will naturally attend.
Not long after, a group of people from Xirong entered the scene, and everyone looked at the Princess of Xirong.
Especially those noble ladies who had been with Lu Yaoyao and others in Zai Nuan Pavilion earlier, all wanted to see what Dong Shaner said was beautiful.
"I have to say, it's really pretty."
It is true that as Dong Shan'er said, she does not look like a Xirong woman at all. If she were not wearing Xirong clothes, they would all think that this woman is from Dongzhou.
Next, the Xirong envoys introduced themselves, and at the same time, they also took out the credentials of their monarchs and expressed their intentions for coming this time.
"I am very happy that Xirong intends to form an alliance and make good friends."
"It's just that I don't know which talent your princess is interested in?"
The envoy from Xirong smiled and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Dongzhou, my princess, although she was born in Xirong, she has admired the culture of Dongzhou since she was a child."
"I am also quite proficient in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I could invite all the talented people from Dongzhou to share their knowledge?"
Yes, love is more important than literature.
That's pretty good too.
