Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth, passive concubine
"Too thin." A picture was thrown aside.
"Too fat." Another picture was thrown out.
"The face is too long." Throw out another one.
"The eyes are too small."
"A bloody mouth."
"Bucket waist."......
I looked at them being thrown aside one by one. In the end, the reasons were "too dark" and "I have acne marks on my face"...
The Queen Mother angrily stretched out her hand and patted Feng Yu's arm, laughing and scolding: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's too dark to tell that the girl has acne marks?"
"Royal Grandmother, look, isn't this a little bit?" Feng Yu pointed at the woman on the last piece of paper with grievance. When the Queen Mother saw it, she almost became angry: "This was originally on the paper, how could it be someone else's?
Is it on the girl’s face?”
"It's not good-looking anyway. Imperial Grandma, as my grandson said, don't let those who don't look good, these...and these, they're really not good-looking."
Feng Yu reached out and pushed all the paintings in front of him carelessly, and said quietly.
"This is the most beautiful daughter of an aristocratic family in the capital." The Queen Mother said, picking up a painting and saying, "Look at this girl, how beautiful she is. Compared to you..."
Looking up at her grandson, the Queen Mother felt that she couldn't say anything against her will. Her grandson was too good to be worthy of the one in this painting.
He sighed helplessly, put this one down, and picked up the second one. When he looked at this one, he immediately smiled and said, "This one is beautiful. This girl is really good-looking. The Ai family has just seen these scrolls."
Among them, this one is the best."
Before Feng Yu came, the Queen Mother had indeed seen them all one by one, and she also had some scores in her mind, which ones were really outstanding and which ones might not be so satisfactory. Her grandson was too outstanding, and he was really not worthy of it.
There are many, but this one is acceptable at the moment, and the Queen Mother is very satisfied.
"Too old." Feng Yu turned his head and looked at the name and age at the bottom of the scroll.
"How come it's so old? She's about the same age as you. She's sixteen today, so she's just in her prime." The Queen Mother said with great satisfaction.
"You haven't discussed marriage at the age of sixteen, so you can't get married. If you can't get married, you will send it to the palace. It is specially left for me, the imperial grandmother. I must not have it." Feng Yu waved his hand lazily.
road.
Sixteen-year-old girls are generally engaged. If they are not engaged, there is basically a special reason. Like this one, she is very handsome, and the queen specially communicated with her in secret, meaning that her family
There is a stay in the house, and several princes are choosing concubines, so we can't just marry the good-looking ones.
This was specially reserved for the three princes. It was picked by the Queen Mother from the Queen. Of course, she could not say this directly to Feng Yu. The Queen Mother chose her words and said: "This girl is studious. She was also in Baishi before.
She studied in the academy, because studying delayed her marriage, so she studied well, grew up well, and had a high spirit, which even ordinary people would look down upon."
"So good?" Feng Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's really good. The Ai family has met her before. She is as beautiful as a flower." The Queen Mother said continuously.
"I don't like it." Feng Yu raised his long eyelashes and said with disdain, "You can barely see with this look. Why, you can't look down on others? Then who does she want to fall in love with? A few cousins
?”
These words hit home so hard that the Queen Mother choked.
"Royal grandmother, are these chosen for several cousins? I can't be justified in robbing my cousins later, but as for them," Feng Yu's slender fingers crossed the scroll in front of him, "they only wanted to
I'm also marrying three cousins, so why am I just appearing out of nowhere? Besides, I... really don't like her."
Feng Yu paused for a moment when he said this, raised his jade-white face, and chuckled: "That's it, we have more beauties in Qidi. If the three cousins like it, I will ask my father to send some beauties over.
.”
"What nonsense!" the Queen Mother laughed and scolded.
"Grandma Huang, it's true. You're staying at such an old age not for me. I don't want it." Feng Yu leaned back lazily.
"What about this young person?" The Queen Mother was so angry that she had no choice but to turn the page again. This time, she found a picture of a young person. At the age of fourteen, she had already grown up and had an extraordinary appearance. She made people feel stunning at just one glance.
, "Is this done? This girl is only fourteen years old, four years younger than you."
The Queen Mother feels that her grandson's temperament has not been finalized yet, so it is best to choose an older one who can take care of him and can persuade her if she has any problems. Gentleness and dignity are a must, which is why she just chose the one with the long hair.
It's good, but he's a little older, and he can take care of and persuade me, which is not the right thing.
The youngest one in this picture is fourteen years old. The Queen Mother really dislikes being young. She is too young to be sensible. It would be troublesome to mess around with her grandson. However, her grandson doesn't like the older one, and she says that the older one wants to marry her.
The other three grandsons, the Queen Mother, were immediately unhappy.
Her grandson deserves better, how can these girls dislike him?
"Not good looking." Feng Yu glanced sideways, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his eyes became more and more misty.
The Queen Mother sighed, and suddenly felt that the girl in the painting in front of her was not so outstanding. Her grandson was too outstanding, what should I do?
Now there is no suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.
"Your father has written a letter asking the Aijia to help you choose a concubine. He said that you are not too young." The Empress Dowager persuaded her earnestly, "When you have a family, you will be older and will consider everything you do in the future.
Think about your father, think about the Ai family, your mother and concubine have passed away, and your father has only had you as his son for so many years."
"Imperial grandmother, why are we getting married? Our grandson is still young." Feng Yu said disapprovingly.
"You are not young anymore. Some people at your age here in the capital already have children. Your father is not young anymore and his health is not good. If you grow up and are sensible, you can help your father early.
King, one day...your father may be able to return to the capital to meet the imperial grandmother."
Thinking of her youngest son who had to leave Beijing, the Queen Mother's eyes turned red and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Imperial grandmother, my father is not old, he can still work for a few more years, and his grandson is still young." Feng Yu chuckled, "At my father's age, he can actually marry ten, eight, and give birth to another child.
More than a dozen sons."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but hit Feng Yu again, "Your father is deeply in love with your mother and concubine, how can you be willing to marry again."
"Royal Grandmother, you also believe this." Feng Yu said disapprovingly, "It's not like my father doesn't have other concubines."
"Then why didn't your father marry again?" the Queen Mother said angrily.
"Who knows what he was thinking, maybe he thought it would be troublesome to marry another concubine." Feng Yu said lazily, and his words were extremely dismissive.
"You...you kid..." The Queen Mother was furious and glared at Feng Yu fiercely.
"Royal Grandmother, please don't tell your grandson about your father. Your father is already an adult. Whatever he thinks or does has nothing to do with his grandson. You see, what we are talking about now is about marrying the crown prince. This matter
It's a big deal for my grandson. If you marry someone you don't like, your grandson won't even want to enter the house, and it will be really miserable then."
Feng Yu frowned and looked at the Queen Mother aggrievedly.
"This...how is this possible!" The Queen Mother shook her hands.
"Why is it impossible! Imperial Grandma, you promised your grandson that you would choose a good-looking one, but none of these... will work." Feng Yu glanced at the scroll in front of him with disgust.
"You are good-looking and young, and the Imperial Grandmother knows about it," the Queen Mother said angrily.
"Grandma Imperial, my grandson has a headache after seeing so many paintings. Go back and rest first." Feng Yu pushed the fence of the wheelchair, and the chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on the back of the wheelchair.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first. Grandma Huang will give you a choice." The Queen Mother rubbed her brows with a headache.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, grandma." Feng Yu was not that resistant to the selection of the heirloom concubine. After smiling and saying yes to the Queen Mother, the chamberlain pushed the wheelchair out.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, Huaibao asked in a low voice: "Master, where are we going now?"
"Let's go enjoy the scenery first!" Feng Yu said lazily.
"Where are you going, Master?"
"It's best to enjoy lotuses in this kind of weather now." Feng Yu pointed in a direction. Huaibao raised his head and looked at this direction, and immediately understood that this direction was not the direction when they came, but there was still something in that direction.
There is a good place to enjoy lotuses.
I just heard from the chamberlain that the emperor is still in the imperial study at this moment...
Walking all the way to the lotus pond, in front of the pavilion, I was stopped by a chamberlain.
"Concubine Ning is here." The chamberlain stepped forward to stop him.
Huaibao waved his hand, and a guard came up and slapped the chamberlain so hard that he took two steps back and fell to the side of the road.
"Our prince is here." Huaibao took two steps forward and said loudly with a sharp voice.
The sharp-eyed among the chamberlains immediately spotted Feng Yu sitting in a wheelchair inside, and smartly trotted in to report to Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning leaned on the fence by the window, enjoying the lotus flowers leisurely. This place is now occupied by the emperor. The emperor comes to rest from time to time. Concubine Ning stays with the emperor many times. When the emperor is not here, only Concubine Ning can come.
, here they drink tea, eat snacks, lean against the fence and enjoy the lotus flowers, which has a unique artistic conception.
While he was enjoying himself, he suddenly saw a chamberlain crawling in and said, "Concubine Ning, the Crown Prince of Qi is here."
"Who?" Concubine Ning was stunned, raised her head and asked.
"It's Prince Qi. Someone came up to stop him just now, and... he was beaten." The chamberlain stammered in his report. Even the Queen Mother would not do it to someone who dared to hit Concubine Ning without saying a word.
But it happened that the Prince of Qi did this. Thinking that a servant had died in Feng Yu's hands before, the servant became even more panicked.
"Mother...Mother, what should I do now?" The servant seemed to see the tyrannical Prince Qi, killing everyone present one by one with a sword...
Concubine Ning composed herself and glared at the chamberlain: "What do you know? Just ask Prince Qi to come in!"
After saying that, he sat up straight and looked towards the door. What was Feng Yu doing here?
