Seeing Shao Yan's strong reaction, Bai Mei was surprised and said: "Could it be that His Highness already has a suitable candidate in mind?"
Shao Yan couldn't help but feel dumb. To be honest, he really hadn't thought about this. Since he came to this world, he has known only a handful of women, from the princess of Nanliang to the poor girl from the barren mountain, but this guy has no
I want to put down roots here, so no matter where I go, I always eat and drink with the idea that one person will have enough to eat and the whole family will not be hungry. After eating and drinking enough, I will find Wuhai, pat my butt and leave after completing the task.
, how can you care about the three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines in the harem, etc.
"Your Highness, Your Highness" Bai Mei saw that Shao Yan was silent and thought he was thinking about choosing a concubine, so he smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about choosing a concubine. This matter will be taken care of by Wei Chen. Wei Chen
Your satisfaction is guaranteed”
Since Xueyu's death, Baimei has been depressed all day long. When it comes to the topic of the Crown Princess, this old guy seems to be particularly proactive. Shao Yan rarely sees a smile on his face, so he is embarrassed to refuse and waved: "
Then there’s Lord Lao Bai.”
"That's very good. I'll do it now," Baimei turned around with a smile. Unexpectedly, he heard the eunuch's sharp voice coming from outside, "The Prince Regent is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Guo Wei walking to the entrance of the East Palace surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs. The scene was very majestic. Bai Mei and all the servants of the East Palace hurriedly came out and knelt down to greet him.
Shao Yan doesn't do this. What the hell, isn't he just wearing a mustache? Who dares to show off his old age in front of me? Shao Yan is still sitting on the chair in the living room, humming a tune,
Playing with mobile phone
There is an unwritten rule in feudal society. If a guest comes to visit, the host must personally greet him before he can enter. Otherwise, it will be regarded as breaking into a private house. Especially for such a large palace, Guo Wei naturally does not dare to break in, but he has not seen it yet.
Shao Yan came out to greet him. He was very angry in his heart. He asked Bai Mei who had just stood up coldly: "Why haven't you seen His Highness the Crown Prince for so long?"
"I'm here." With a loud voice, Shao Yan walked out in white mourning clothes and said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, uncle, I just took a cold shower and changed my clothes.
So it’s a step too late.”
"Don't be on guard, don't be on guard." Guo Wei changed his angry expression and asked with a smile: "Is His Royal Highness the Prince dressed in this way to guard the late emperor's mausoleum?"
"Guard the mausoleum?" Shao Yan was stunned for a moment. During the first three days of the funeral of emperors in the past, the heirs to the throne would guard the mausoleum. After that, soldiers would be selected to guard the mausoleum. Being able to guard the mausoleum for the royal family sounds good, but asking Shao Yan to guard the mausoleum for someone with whom he was buried
He didn't bother to do such a thing as staying in front of the grave of a dead person he had nothing to do with for three days.
Seeing his hesitation, Guo Wei added: "That's fine, your father's concubines are clamoring to see you."
"Why are they seeing me?" Shao Yan looked confused.
"They are saying goodbye to you. In an hour, they will go to accompany the late Emperor."
"Buried?" Shao Yan immediately thought of these two words. When emperors of all dynasties died, they would select concubines, maids, and eunuchs to be buried with them. This seemed to Shao Yan an extremely cruel system. Damn it, die.
A person has to let so many people die with him. This is too disrespectful of human beings. No, I have to take care of this matter. "May I ask my uncle, how many people are there in total to bury my father this time?"
"Including the guards, there are about one hundred and twenty people. I can't remember the exact number."
Seeing that Guo Wei kept smiling when he called himself "my king", Shao Yan secretly greeted the eighteenth generation of his ancestors. It was important to save people. Shao Yan would never allow more than a hundred lives to be lost under his eyes, so he went to court. Guo Wei bowed and said: "Uncle, please be busy first. Long'er will go to Qianqing Palace right now." After saying that, he took Bai Mei, Zhang Er, Zhang San, Wang Wu and others to turn around and leave.
"Prince, please stay."
Hearing Guo Wei calling him, Shao Yan turned around casually. Guo Wei walked up to him with a smile and took several scrolls from the eunuch behind him, "Long'er, you are not young anymore. It's time for you to be accepted." room, let’s add a few more concubines.”
Bai Mei was very surprised. This uncle actually thought of going with me. I'm afraid he was just a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
Shao Yan was not surprised. He felt that Uncle Guo did this because he wanted to use women to contain him. When a person has a family, he no longer has the drive to do anything, not to mention that it was prepared by Uncle Guo. It goes without saying that most of these women are his
"I discussed it with your mother. She is more interested in these women in the painting, especially this one." Guo Wei said as he opened the first scroll. Shao Yan poked his neck and took a look, and saw that there was a beautiful woman in the painting. The woman wearing a blue pleated skirt and a colorful bow in her hair. I don’t know whether it’s because the painter is not very good or because he doesn’t know how to appreciate ancient paintings. No matter how he looked at it, Shao Yan didn’t feel how beautiful the woman above was.
Seeing that Shao Yan kept shaking his head, Guo Wei then opened the second picture. Shao Yan still didn't like it. Guo Wei's face looked a little ugly, so he opened the third picture. Shao Yan took a closer look and didn't feel there was any difference. Guo Wei He was so angry that he suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Is it possible that even Long'er doesn't like the woman in the painting?"
Shao Yan clearly felt his indifferent tone and thought that he could not openly offend him yet. He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Uncle, I misunderstood. All the women in this painting are beautiful and fragrant. It's too late for Long'er to feel ashamed. How can he?" I don’t like the reason. As the saying goes, the three most unfilial qualities are not having children. His father has just passed away, and Long’er has no intention of taking a concubine yet.”
Guo Wei was speechless. This boy was right. It was indeed too early to mention this matter to him at this time. It would be better to talk about it later. Anyway, he could not escape from the palm of my hand. Thinking of this, Guo Wei's eyes flashed with appreciation. He said, "Long'er can understand the general situation so well at such a young age. He is worthy of your father's demeanor. How about we put this matter aside for now and discuss it after the funeral of the late emperor is over?"
Shao Yan nodded. Although he did not take a fancy to the women in the painting, he was more interested in the identities of the three of them and asked casually: "But I don't know where the three women are from. Could they be some distant relatives of my uncle? "
Guo Wei said excitedly: "They are all your three cousins, Yingying, Susu, and Rongrong. This girl has changed greatly. You and them have not seen each other for several years. No wonder you don't recognize them."
Shao Yan was suddenly startled. He heard from Bai Mei that Guo Wei was uneducated and would often fight with others. He accidentally kicked the thing on his crotch and lost his fertility from then on. However, this incident did not happen much. Personally I know that Bai Mei also overheard this during a conversation between the emperor and his wife.
Damn, where did this old bachelor get three women to play with me? Shao Yan got angry just thinking about it, but in order to consider the overall situation, he had to smile: "It turns out they are three of them, no wonder they look familiar to me." , I haven’t seen them for so many years, and they have become so beautiful. I will definitely go to my house to visit them someday."
Seeing the smile on Shao Yan's face, Guo Wei was immediately elated and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Then it's settled, I will be waiting for His Royal Highness in the palace."
"That's it. Uncle, please be busy first. Long'er will rush to the Qianqing Palace right now." As he said this, Shao Yan led Bai Mei and others to turn around and walk towards the Qianqing Palace. Guo Wei left the East Palace surrounded by a large group of people. Walking triumphantly outside the palace
On the way to Qianqing Palace, Baimei quickly rushed to Shao Yan and asked quietly: "Your Highness, do you really promise to accept the daughter of the uncle's house as your concubine?"
Shao Yan stopped and smiled: "Did I say that? Why don't I remember?" Seeing Bai Mei's ugly face, Shao Yan smiled heartily and said: "You don't have to worry anymore, you can do whatever you want. I have just made it clear to Guo Wei that I do not want to take my wife for the time being. He should understand what I mean."
"Hearing His Highness say this, Wei Chen is relieved." Bai Mei breathed a sigh of relief. This guy has been in the officialdom for more than ten years and knows how insidious Guo Wei is. If the prince accepts those three girls as concubines, even if In the future, when the prince becomes emperor, he will also be a puppet emperor.
After a while, Shao Yan and others arrived outside the Qianqing Palace. From a distance, they heard the sound of many women crying from inside the hall. Shao Yan guessed that they must be the concubines and palace maids who were about to be buried, so he hurried in.
