Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 242: Choosing a Consort

Nie Wushuang's beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "How do you say that?"

Yang Zhi said in a calm manner: "There is also a lot of knowledge about marrying relatives. There is a big difference between marrying a prostitute or marrying a concubine. The slaves know that the empress is afraid of being involved in the queen's troubles in the future, so keep not far away." The short distance is the most important thing. The empress can choose a concubine from among the women of the right age given by the queen, and it is best not to have cousins, but to have cousins. The so-called appearance is three thousand miles away. The queen doesn't have much relatives, and it's not too bad to say that she doesn't have any relationship at all. This won't save the queen's face, and it will leave room for the future."

Nie Wushuang could not help but agree in his heart when he heard that, "Eunuch Yang is indeed brilliant!"

Yang Zhi smiled slightly: "Furthermore, a concubine's daughter is usually bullied by the royal family in the family, and I'm afraid she won't be too fond of her natal family in her heart. If she becomes General Nie's wife, not to mention that General Nie's character and appearance are first-class. One thing is that the future is also visible, so she is naturally devoted to General Nie wholeheartedly. Your Majesty just needs to observe her conduct carefully."

The depression in Nie Wushuang's heart was relieved by Yang Zhi in such a small way, it seemed as if the clouds had been cleared. Then she picked up the picture album again, and sure enough, she saw that in the picture album sent by the queen, several daughters of concubines were born. She looked at it and knew what she knew, so on the third day she took the picture album and went to meet Queen Feng in person.

At that time, the sky had just cleared up, and the queen was sitting in the pavilion behind the "Laiyi Palace" feeding the koi in the pool. The pool had just melted, and the palace staff released hot spring water, and the koi, which had been silent for a whole winter, began to swim in the pool. Swim around and compete for fish food. A pond full of heat is curling up, and the colorful koi in the pond are really beautiful.

Seeing that she had made a decision so quickly, the queen asked in surprise: "Which family is Bi Guifei looking for?"

Nie Wushuang took out the album that he had chosen earlier and handed it to the queen. The queen unfolded it, took a closer look, then closed it and said with a smile: "Why are they all from concubines? I am afraid that General Nie will feel wronged."

Nie Wushuang had already thought up her speech, and she said respectfully: "The empress is serious. In fact, the concubine thinks that my brother is not worthy of these noble ladies. After all, the empress also knows that my brother has no foundation in Yingguo, and there is no mansion. yes……"

The embarrassment on her face was just right, and the queen smiled in relief: "What are you afraid of, the mansion will definitely be given to you by the emperor when your elder brother returns from the battle. You don't have to worry about such trivial matters. But since you have already selected these, wait a few days When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, I will announce them to come in for you to have a look."

Nie Wushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sweetly: "My concubine thank you for your kindness."

The queen shook her hand with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Thank you, we will be a family sooner or later."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but each had their own thoughts.

...

Spring is the most rainy season, and the area around the Congjiang River was flooded. Fortunately, Xiao Fengqing led his army across the river, and fought several Qin troops twice in succession, winning the battle. All the way to Youzhou in the southeast direction. Gu Qinghong was busy building fortifications in Zuoling County of Youzhou to prevent the Qin army from attacking again.

Spring is the season for sowing, and the war between Qi State and Qin State has already scorched thousands of miles, and the barren land cannot be cultivated at all. A wave of famine spread due to Gu Qinghong's fortification and spring famine. In the battle report sent back by Xiao Fengqing, it was mentioned that the grain and grass of Yingguo were robbed by several "refugees" during the transportation. Xiao Fengqing ruled the army harshly, flogging all the generals who failed their duties fifty times, and all the refugees were killed on the spot regardless of gender.

His ruthless methods really made the generals in the army look sideways, but also because of this, the entire Yingguo reinforcements acted quickly, and it became more and more like a sharp knife slashing at the hand of Qin Jun's meddling Qi State.

The battle ahead is changing rapidly, but Yingguo's harem is in perfect order. Every day is not more interesting than the previous one. However, with the arrival of this spring day by day, the harem that has been silent for a winter is gradually relaxing. "Yongxi Palace" has become even more busy these days.

Because Princess Yunle's Jiji ceremony ended for a whole month, Empress Dowager Gao ordered to choose a son-in-law for her jewel-Princess Yunle.

Princess Yun Le is the only princess under Empress Dowager Gao's knees. Empress Dowager Gao pampered her very much. Princess Yun Le was unruly and self-willed since she was a child. It was the lucky and unlucky son-in-law.

On the seventh day of March, it is auspicious, suitable for marriage and groundbreaking. Nie Wushuang was supported by Xia Lan to go to the "Yongxi Palace". The weather has finally cleared up these few days, the spring is fine, and birds and butterflies are flying everywhere. It is hard to imagine that thousands of miles away, the Qi State is full of mourners, and everyone wraps their bellies in the bark of wild vegetables. .

When Nie Wushuang walked halfway, a shoulder paddle slowly caught up behind him. The tulle on the shoulders was lifted, revealing Concubine Jing's dignified face.

"Why is Concubine Bi walking? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to be sweating all over at the 'Yongxi Palace'?" Concubine Jing smiled and ordered the palace servants to stop and push their shoulders, and came down and said.

Nie Wushuang saluted her and smiled slightly: "I feel that the weather is so rare, so I want to come down to bask in the sun, otherwise it has rained for several days, and even my body will feel moldy."

Concubine Jing giggled: "How old are you, aren't the old bones of this Palace going to rust?"

Nie Wushuang supported her, and walked forward: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. Look at your figure, everyone who has seen her will say that she is only a young girl."

Concubine Jing glanced at her and only smiled: "Your mouth is really sweet. No wonder the Empress likes it."

Nie Wushuang pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Concubine Jing looked at her stunning face burning under the spring light, couldn't help but caressed her face, and sighed: "When did I see that Yun Le is still a girl in Zongjiao now, but now she is going to get married? Baiju Guo

Gap. "

Seeing Concubine Jing sighing like this, Nie Wushuang smiled and said, "Why should your empress have such emotion? People are always getting old, but fortunately, your empress still has the eldest princess. The so-called daughter is your mother's close-fitting jacket. The empress's blessing is in the future." What's behind."

Concubine Jing forced a smile: "Yes. I think too much."

Nie Wushuang knew what she was missing. Now the eldest princess is four years old but has not yet been officially titled. I don't know if Xiao Fengming didn't think about it, or the queen didn't mention it and suppressed it on purpose. Concubine Jing is not favored enough, which will hinder the future of the eldest princess, which is for sure.

The two were speechless for a while, when they arrived at the "Yongxi Palace", they saw many relatives and aristocratic families seated, so Nie Wushuang found an inconspicuous seat and sat, listening to the discussions of the people next to him. After a while, Yun Le dressed up and came out to meet the relatives, and then left blankly.

Only then did Empress Dowager Gao come out to take her seat, and the queen sat beside her, smiling brightly. She whispered a few words to Empress Dowager Gao, and then ordered the palace staff to read the children of the appropriate age family on the roster. The children of the aristocratic family who had been prepared for a long time went up to meet the queen mother and queen, and then the queen mother and queen asked, or asked the parents of the family, or took an examination of school poems, and so on. martial arts.

Nie Wushuang looked at the handsome or heroic young master from the stage, but in his heart he felt sorry for Princess Yunle who left without showing his face. No matter how good the family background is, no matter how strong the martial arts are. It's not the one in her heart anymore.

Concubine Jing lost interest after watching a few scenes. It happened that Nie Wushuang was also impatient, so the two left quietly. After leaving the "Yongxi Palace", Nie Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief: she was the talk of others inside. You must know that the Queen Mother acquiesced to Nie Minghu and Yun Le before, but many people knew about it.

Concubine Jing said quietly: "Princess Yunle is so lucky to have such a good mother as the Queen Mother. Sigh..."

Nie Wushuang smiled comfortingly, "How does your lady know that I won't have such an opportunity in the future?"

Concubine Jing held her hand tightly, with tears in her eyes: "Concubine Bigui, please help me. Help me to mention the eldest princess before the emperor, and don't let her be punished because of this ineffective mother concubine. People in the palace look down upon it..."

Nie Wushuang was startled, and casually said: "The concubine will naturally choose an appropriate time to mention it to the emperor." Even though she said so, she was not at ease. Now that she is being attracted by the empress and valued by the concubine Jing, It's just because he was favored by Xiao Fengming.

However, what an illusory thing the emperor's favor is. She looked at the spring in her eyes, but felt gloomy for no reason.

***

Someone mentioned the time issue. This is indeed a mistake in my article.

Let me straighten it out myself first, and let you refer to it. If you find any mistakes in the article, please refer to the following time clues:

It was early spring when Nie Wushuang was imprisoned by Gu Qinghong into the firewood room, it should be the end of January and the beginning of February. She was imprisoned for ten days, which was about mid-February. A few days later, her whole family was ransacked and Xiao Fengqing was found at the end of February; when she arrived in Yingguo, it took about half a month on the road, which was March; It's been less than two months since I became a side concubine, and she arrived at the other courtyard to enter the palace. She told the queen that she would arrive in Yingguo in June, which should actually be an "official statement". I don't want the Queen to know too much about what I did as Prince Rui's side concubine. But the queen's eyes and ears are more sensitive. She knew that Nie Wushuang probably came to Yingguo in the early spring, so she asked this question.

The time of Concubine Yun's pregnancy is correct, she was conceived in the summer palace, I set it to be around July, at that time she was already one month pregnant, and she will give birth in February next year. Ya Jieyu conceived two months later than her, but because she was born one month prematurely, she was supposed to give birth after the first month of the new year, so she gave birth before the end of the new year. This happens in some cases. The ancients said that pregnancy in October is actually just an estimate. It is correct that it will be born naturally in about nine months.

I did not write the timing of this article quite correctly. I have found one or two mistakes, and I will try to avoid them in the future. Thanks for reminding. kisses!
