The internal official nodded, quickly brought the names of the two ladies of the family and said: "Then the emperor must take a look at these two, Princess Minghua of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and this one, Princess Yuzhi of the Jade Prince's Mansion.
host!"
The two people the internal officials mentioned were the two highest-ranking ladies in the Yan Kingdom, and they didn't even come to the concubine selection banquet, because with their status, they didn't need to be selected at all.
Among them, there is Princess Minghua of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion who is the Queen's favorite candidate for the Crown Princess.
"Who did the queen choose for the prince?"
The internal official pointed to Princess Zhonghua's name but did not speak. This matter was top secret and of course could not be heard by outsiders.
The emperor sneered. This queen was really a good mother. For the sake of the prince, she planned so carefully, and every step she took was calculated very accurately.
On the other hand, the Eighth Prince, not to mention Princess Minghua, would be too high to marry the daughter of his former minister.
Marquis Jingyuan is guarding the border and has 200,000 elite soldiers and generals in his hands. They are all the elite troops of the imperial court. If the prince wins over such generals, who will dare to care about the throne in the future?
"Go and draw up a decree to marry the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jingyuan to the Eighth Prince He Lianduan!"
The internal official was a little dumbfounded and said cautiously: "But Your Majesty, this is what the Queen intends to propose to His Highness the Crown Prince in marriage. If he finds out, I'm afraid..."
"Even if she is not happy with my decree, she can only endure it! The prince's moral character is not good and he is not suitable for marriage now. We will talk about it in a few days!" The emperor said the decree quickly, and the decree was quickly sent to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The legitimate daughter Wei Chi Yunduo was actually accused of being married to the eighth prince, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion was also very surprised.
"I, the Marquis of Jingyuan, are one of the most meritorious families in the capital. Even if the emperor proposes marriage, it should be to the prince!"
Originally, the queen had discussed this matter with the old lady and got the queen's approval, so she could wait for the marriage edict with peace of mind. But who could have imagined, what she waited for was the marriage to the eighth prince.
"No, we Yunduo can't marry such a mediocre prince. Let's arrange a carriage. I will go into the palace to meet the Queen immediately!" The old lady was about to enter the palace to meet the Queen, but there was a slender figure outside the door.
He walked in and went over to support the old lady.
"Grandma, you can't enter the palace at this time! My granddaughter has already read the imperial edict. It is the emperor who granted me the marriage. Even if I go to the queen, it will be useless! What's more, my granddaughter has never thought about marrying the prince, and you have already thought about it.
I heard that this prince’s reputation is extremely bad! Now, in order to punish him, the emperor has killed all the concubines in the prince’s house!”
After hearing these words, the old lady was not in a hurry and sat down on the chair.
"Yun Duo is right. This prince is indeed not a good man! If you get married, you will inevitably have to deal with those concubines. You don't know what your life will be like! But the eighth prince, although he cannot be the crown prince, can
It would be nice to be an idle prince and live a small life so that I can be more affectionate with you!"
Normally, when ordinary people talk about the royal family, they are envious, but only these meritorious families know that once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea.
"Now that the emperor has granted the marriage, the matter has been settled. Grandma will ask people to inquire about the character of the eighth prince. In this way, we can have an idea!"
The prince was supposed to be given a marriage, but now he turned into the eighth prince. When Helian Mochuan learned the news, he was not surprised at all. He thought that the prince actually made wedding clothes for others. He didn't know that the queen found out about this.
Will he be so angry that he vomits blood?
"My lord, just as you guessed, the emperor really has a special regard for the eighth prince!" Helian Mochuan nodded and handed him a letter in his hand.
"Immediately send it to the border and hand it over to Marquis Jingyuan. There may be changes in the royal family. Let Marquis Jingyuan be careful. Except for the news from me, let him not believe what anyone says, including the reports sent from the capital!"
Leng Li hurriedly sent the letter out. Now the atmosphere in the capital was changing rapidly, and the palace was even more tense.
After learning that Princess Minghua, whom she admired, had actually been given to the eighth prince, the queen hurried to the imperial study room to see her, but was blocked at the door and could not get in.
"Queen, please go back. The Emperor has said that no one will be seen! If you are here because of the eighth prince's marriage, this matter has been announced to the world and there is no possibility of changing it. You should go back to the palace!"
The queen was so angry that she went over and gave Cui Naiguan a slap in the face and said: "I am the queen. How dare you commit the crime in front of me in front of me? Come and drag me out and beat you!"
When the guards heard this, they came over to catch Cui Neiguan and were about to beat him. The door of the imperial study room opened and he walked out thinking that the old man was coming. When they saw him, the guards quickly stopped.
"What are you doing? What kind of place is this, Caishikou? The emperor has important matters to discuss with several confidential ministers, but you are making a noise here, are you dying?"
Eunuch Rui is not angry but powerful. He is an old internal official who has served three generations of emperors. Even the queen must respect him to a certain extent.
"Eunuch Rui, I have something important to do to see the emperor. Please convey it to Eunuch Rui!"
