In the palace of Duke Xuan.

When Mrs. Su heard that her daughter had returned, she hurriedly came to Su Jingyan's room and asked, "Ayan, you can see those boys today. What do you think of them?"

Su Jingyan thought of those young people who didn't know right from wrong and said, "Mom, they are really too young. I really can't marry someone younger than me."

Mrs. Su sighed deeply and said: "Well, if the heirs who are older than you and can inherit the title are already married, even those who are not married have already agreed on their marriage. If there is no title, there is nothing wrong with it.

By inheriting it, wouldn’t it be wronging you?”

Su Jingyan comforted Mrs. Su and said: "Mom, this marriage is destined by God. Maybe it will just fall from the sky. Your daughter and I are as beautiful as you. If you can find a good husband like dad, I will definitely have no worries about getting married."

of."

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "You are really good at making my mother happy."

…

After Hu Wei sent Xiao Yi back to the palace, he met his grandfather in the palace.

Taifu Hu asked Hu Wei whether there was any amazing work among the Qu Shui Shui Shang.

Hu Wei replied: "They all have mediocre literary talents, grandfather. In fact, the Su family is holding this poetry gathering today to choose a son-in-law for Miss Su...Grandfather, Miss Su..."

Taifu Hu glanced at his grandson, who looked as shy as a young boy.

Hu Wei scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, my grandson likes Miss Su and wants to marry her. What do you think, grandpa?"

Taifu Hu took out the small bronze mirror he carried with him, handed it to Hu Wei and said, "Look at your appearance. How can your appearance be worthy of the daughter of the Su family?"

Hu Wei: "..."

Hu Wei said shamelessly: "Grandpa, although my grandson's appearance is a bit ordinary, he will be very considerate to Miss Su in the future. He also asked grandpa to help his grandson propose marriage. If the marriage can come true, Su Liu will still call

Call me uncle."

Taifu Hu touched his long gray beard and said, "Weier, you can marry anyone you want, but only the daughter of the Su family."

"Why?" Hu Wei asked hurriedly.

Taifu Hu said: "Your Majesty was young when he ascended the throne, and he has not yet taken charge of the government. The Duke of Xuan is extremely powerful. If our Hu family and Su family marry, there is no guarantee that loyal people in the world will doubt our Hu family's loyalty!"

Taifu Hu calmed down and said seriously: "Our Hu family's passionate loyalty cannot be doubted because of this."

Hu Wei said: "But the Duke of Xuan is extremely loyal to Your Majesty. People say that Duke Xuan treats Your Majesty as a puppet. But that's not necessarily true. My grandfather is also a sensible person. Can't you see the painstaking instruction that Duke Xuan has given to Your Majesty? Your Majesty is civil and military.

The best of both worlds..."

Taifu Hu interrupted Hu Wei and said: "Wei'er, you are still young after all. It is precisely because Duke Xuan is loyal to His Majesty that our Hu family and Duke Xuan's mansion cannot marry."

Hu Wei became more and more puzzled, "Why?"

Taifu Hu said: "Even you know that Duke Xuan is loyal to His Majesty, but how come there are so many rumors outside that he treats Your Majesty as a puppet?

That's because some people want to drive a wedge between Your Majesty and Duke Xuan, and they also want to make the world think that Your Majesty is young and fatuous, just a puppet, and make the world look down upon Your Majesty.

If our Hu family marries with the Su family, even if His Majesty is not afraid, can the princes of the Xiao family let it go? The outside world will only settle down with the Su family and treat His Majesty as a puppet.

The girl from the Su family is good, but you two are destined to have no connection, so you better not think about it again."

Hu Wei felt a flash of disappointment in his heart and sighed: "Oh, I can't let Su Liu call me uncle."

…

Your Majesty is already sixteen, and he will definitely be drafting this year.

Because the regent's triumphant return was delayed for several days, the court and the government were busy discussing the future queen.

Su Jingyan selected the more beautiful daughter from among the originally selected candidates.

After discussing with the brothers of Duke Xuan, they selected four people and went to the palace to find the Queen Mother.

Su Jingyan entered Ningshou Palace and found out that Xiao Yi was there today, so she knelt down and saluted.

The Queen Mother saw Su Jing and said: "Ayan, you are here at the right time. Let Your Majesty take a look at the daughter you have chosen."

Su Jingyan brought four portraits and introduced them one by one: "Aunt, this is the third daughter of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. Liang Suisui is Suirou's biological sister. She has been sensible and polite since she was a child. She will have hairpins this year.

This is He Zhimin, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo. She is also a young girl with hairpin hair. She is a famous talented woman in Luoyang City. She has outstanding literary talent and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

This is He Lianqiao, the eldest granddaughter of Uncle Cheng'en. She is good at medicine and is generous and cheerful..."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she saw He Lianqiao and said, "Why did you choose her? Her status is much worse than the previous two."

The current Uncle Cheng'en is the younger brother of the late Empress Dowager, that is, the uncle of the late Emperor. The Cheng'en Uncle's Mansion has not made many achievements. After the current Cheng'en Bo's death, the title of the Cheng'en Bo's Mansion will be taken back.

Su Jingyan glanced at the little emperor opposite and said: "Aunt, although He Lianqiao's family background is not good enough, she is beautiful. She is the most beautiful among the daughters of Luoyang I have ever seen. After all, our little emperor is taller than

The woman is still beautiful..."

Xiao Yi glared at Su Jingyan with black eyes, but the glare was fleeting, so fast that Su Jingyan thought she was an illusion.

The Queen Mother said: "Ayan, Your Majesty is not allowed to joke."

Su Jingyan smiled: "This is really not a joke. Your Majesty is more beautiful than women."

Su Jingyan continued: "And this is Lin Yingying, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Lin. She won't have hairpins until two months later. Her appearance and knowledge are among the best among women. These four are the best among Luoyang women."

The Queen Mother asked Su Jingyan: "Ayan, you have had the most contact with these daughters, which one do you think is the best?"

Su Jingyan also said what was in her heart: "For my selfish reasons, I would definitely choose Suirou's sister. Suirou and I have had a close friendship since we were young, and I also know her sister's character."

.

But considering the overall situation, Lin Yingying, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Lin, is the most suitable.

But if you want to match their looks, He Lianqiao and Your Majesty are the golden boys and girls.

The most suitable person to be a queen, the one who can take care of the world as a mother, is He Zhimin, who has been carefully raised by the He family."

The Queen Mother slowly said: "He Zhimin, the daughter raised by Duke An Guo is indeed not bad. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Xiao Yi said: "I think Miss Su is worthy of being engaged to the emperor's uncle before, and her provocative eyes are exactly the same."

Su Jingyan: "?"

Xiao Yi said with a hoarse voice: "When I came to Ningshou Palace, the emperor's uncle, Duke He Guo, Prime Minister Lin, and Marquis Yongping came to request an order to make He Zhimin, Lin Yingying, and Liang Suisui the concubines."

According to the rules, there are four concubines for the prince. Although Xiao Ting said that the princess would only be Qingdai, it did not prevent him from having more concubines.

Su Jingyan sarcastically said: "Then the bastard won't marry anyone but Qingdai? He married Qingdai as his princess, but he also wants to make someone else his concubine? His deep affection is simply a joke."

After Su Jingyan scolded her, she felt a chill run down her spine. These women were all women that the Su family had carefully considered to help the young emperor in his administration.

What does Xiao Ting want to do by making these women his concubines?

Su Jingyan said to the Queen Mother: "Aunt, is Xiao Ting planning to have the words "wanting to seize the throne" clearly written on his face?

The Queen Mother was also worried about this, but she still said to Su Jingyan: "Jingyan, please don't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty!"

After Su Jingyan and Xiao Ting said goodbye from Ningshou Palace, they walked east together.

Su Jingyan saw the young man who was more than half a head taller than herself, and comforted him and said:

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about losing your throne. As long as our Su family is here, we will do our best to protect your throne and protect you."
