After what happened in Jinyuchi, the Holy Emperor became much more indifferent to the prince. However, he did not expect that in this draft, in addition to giving Zhao Yuechan to the prince as his concubine, he would also fill up the position of another concubine for him.
.
And this one is even more unexpected, it is Ye Jinxi.
The British Duke's status in the heart of the Holy Emperor is very unusual. The first British Duke was the founding hero of Daqi. He was given an iron certificate by Emperor Taizu, and his title was hereditary and irreplaceable.
But precisely because of this, successive British princes were very cautious and loyal to the Holy Father. Whether in the court or when it came to the dispute over the throne, they never took sides.
He behaves very low-key at ordinary times. Even in the court, he rarely makes sharp statements. To use a ridiculing word, he is like a roly-poly who can be pushed this way or that way.
But when it comes to critical matters, they can always stand on the Holy Sage's side accurately.
It is precisely for this reason that people inside and outside the court pay special attention to the British government.
At present, the Holy Emperor has asked the prince to marry the British prince. It is really difficult to understand the deep meaning of this.
Could it be that His Majesty is beginning to have doubts about the British Duke's loyalty?
Because of this incident, people inside and outside the court couldn't help but talk about it. After all, the Holy Spirit is in good health this year and has great intentions to strengthen the imperial court. Now, people can't help but speculate on the emperor's intentions regarding the selection of concubines for several princes.
The concubines of the remaining princes also landed one by one. The third prince chose the third girl of the Zhou family, who was Zhou Yu whom Xie Songhua had met.
The fourth prince's princess is somewhat unknown, not even a lady from the capital, but the granddaughter of Fang Congwen, a great scholar from Jiangnan, and the eldest daughter of the Fang family.
The Fang family has not had any descendants in the court in recent years. Although Fang Congwen is famous, he actually has no power in the court.
However, the fourth prince has always been a transparent person, so this arrangement is reasonable.
The sixth prince married the daughter of a Hanlin scholar. As a prince whose foreign ethnicity was not prominent and whose mother and concubine died young, this could be regarded as the Emperor's concern for him.
The Seventh Prince has not been settled this time, which is surprising but also reasonable. After all, the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince are both children of Concubine Gao. They have just turned eighteen this year and can still wait for two years.
Regarding the situation in which the Holy Emperor selected concubines for the princes, speculations inside and outside the court arose.
Looking at this situation, it is clearly a balance between the prince and the third prince. He did not take the prince to participate in the draft, but arranged two good in-laws for the prince.
The third prince seems to be so favored, but he has not chosen a girl from the Xie family. Compared to the Xie family, although Zhou Wenyou of the Zhou family is also a cabinet minister, in fact, the family background of the Zhou family is not as good as that of the Xie family.
Zhou Wenyou's father was only a fifth-grade man until his death. In other words, it was Zhou Wenyou who started the Zhou family's fortune.
It is incomparable to the Xie family, where the old man was once the emperor's teacher. What's more, although the Xie family's Shensi Museum is not large in scale, the people who study in it are all talented and famous young people in the capital. Every time there is an imperial examination, there are two or three
Individuals are on the list.
What's more, Xie Feiwu is also a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. There was a previous examination where the right minister of the Ministry of Rites was suddenly unable to participate due to illness. The Holy Spirit appointed him to preside over it on his behalf. He became the only doctor in this dynasty who was qualified to be the examiner of the examination.
The doctors in the Ministry of Rites all know that in the next personnel changes in the Ministry of Rites, he is afraid that he will be able to enter the ranks of the third rank at a young age.
Therefore, everyone is paying attention to which prince the Xie family daughter is accused of becoming the concubine not only because of the rumors about the two sisters, but also because of the hidden strength of the Xie family.
Compared with Daqi's court, the Xie family's current status is not yet prominent, but there is obviously a lot of room for improvement.
I originally thought that this draft would be an opportunity for the Xie family to reach a new level, but I didn't expect that the Xie family would miss this one.
For Xie Yuncang, it seemed that he had escaped a disaster. In Xie Yuncang's view, there were many parties in the court and the Holy Spirit was unpredictable. Right now safety was more important than anything else.
Only the atmosphere in the Summer Palace was heavy. Mrs. Qi watched her daughter sitting blankly, not knowing what words to use to comfort her.
People inside and outside the house were so angry that they didn't dare to speak out, for fear of causing discomfort and being the unlucky one.
After Mrs. Qi sighed sadly for countless times, she finally got up and walked over to Xie Shuhua.
"Shu'er..." As soon as Qi Shigang opened his mouth, he couldn't help but choked up, and couldn't say the rest of the words.
Xie Shuhua finally turned around, her delicate face full of tears, and her eyes both red and swollen.
She looked at Mr. Qi with tears in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but threw herself into Mr. Qi's arms and cried.
Hearing her cry so bitterly, Mrs. Qi was relieved. It was better to cry out than to keep stuffy in her heart.
She hugged her daughter tightly, as if to protect her self-confidence, and stroked her back again and again, just like when she was a child, coaxing the little girl to sleep.
Xie Shuhua's crying gradually subsided and turned into sobs again and again. The sunlight moved away from her body and jumped out of the window. Only then did she finally get up from Qi's arms.
"Mom, it's all my fault. I am so ambitious and dreaming of unrealistic dreams that now you are under house arrest.
I originally thought that although I was very reluctant, as long as I entered the palace, my family would not dare to do anything to you. I could still take care of you more or less in the palace, even if they were afraid that I would talk nonsense in the palace.
,Father, they should also respect you more.
But now, I have finally escaped from the sea of misery, and I thought that the Holy One wanted me to enter the third prince's house on purpose, or that the imperial concubine said something, but who knows...who knows..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help crying again, "After what happened last time, my father already hated me very much. He also made it clear. Now that he can clearly distinguish, Xie Songhua is
She is his daughter, I am just an outsider.
But you still defended me like this, and the other four girls were heartbroken, so they followed suit and made their father unhappy!
I came back from the palace a few days ago, and no one in the house smiled at me.
I heard from the waiter that when the fourth girl came back in the morning, everyone was so happy for her. Grandma held her hand and talked kindly for a long time, asking the eldest aunt and the third aunt to look after the fourth girl quickly.
!”
Mrs. Qi didn't know about these things. Even if the people in the Summer Palace heard the news from outside, they were ordered by Mother Liang not to spread it inside, for fear that Mrs. Qi would feel unhappy after hearing it.
What's more, it's not just Xie Shuhua's problem. Now the An family and the Yu family are in charge of the family inside and outside. Originally, the people under the Qi family had many misfortunes and had many complaints in private, but they didn't make a fuss out.
So when Mrs. Qi heard this, she was shocked and angry, and looked at her daughter beside her with heartache, "Now they know how to deal with others, how can my daughter tolerate them?!"
Xie Shuhua cried resentfully: "Mom, you must not fight with them because of me again. It's really not worth it. And what my father said is right. The fourth girl is your biological daughter, and you and I are just the same person."
It’s just a passing fate.”
"I'm not allowed to say that!" Mrs. Qi held her shoulders, pulled her away from her arms, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "Don't worry, I'm in this family, and I won't allow others to bully you! Moreover,
I am Xie Yuncang's wife who was married with three books and six rituals. What do you think he really dares to do to me? Just watch, he will come to me on his own within two days."
Xie Shuhua looked at her in surprise, "Why?"
