Empress Dowager Yuan's deep eyes passed through the translucent screen in front, and looked at the curtain on the other side of the screen.

The brocade curtain leading to the outside room has already been drawn down, swaying gently, those blossoming little girls have all gone out, and the warm pavilion is empty and quiet.

The corners of Empress Dowager Yuan's ruddy and full lips were raised higher, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she nodded slightly:

"With the family background of the Gu family, she has no father or mother, so she is suitable to be a concubine for the eldest prince."

"This eldest prince and concubine should choose a family background, lest outsiders always think that the Ai family has treated the eldest prince badly."

"How could it be!" the old mother complimented with a smile all over her face, "The empress dowager has always loved the eldest prince very much, and even went out of her way to choose a noble daughter from an aristocratic family as his concubine."

"The eldest prince will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of the empress."

As she spoke, she took a new cup of tea from the maid and respectfully delivered it to Empress Dowager Yuan herself.

Empress Dowager Yuan slowly brushed off the floating leaves floating on the tea soup with the tea cover, and the corners of her lips curled up in a smile that was not a smile, and sighed: "Who made the emperor not stand up all the time, Aijia can only work harder .”

"In the blink of an eye, the Eldest Prince is eighteen years old. He has grown up and should start a family."

These words were very high-sounding, and the old mother responded again and again.

Empress Dowager Yuan took a sip of tea, put down the steaming teacup, and said, "Nurse He, what do you think of those girls just now? Please refer to the Ai family for details."

There was a smile behind Mrs. Yuan, her tone was easy-going, and there was a bit of indifference between her brows.

The Queen Mother said so, but Mother He didn't dare to go into details, and said in a vain manner: "The old slave looks at these girls, all of them are top-notch, good-looking, and good-natured. The old slave is really blind gone."

"This old slave is dim-sighted. How can she know people with such insight as the Empress Dowager? The empress must pick the dragons and phoenixes among the people!"

Nanny He seized the opportunity and complimented Queen Mother Yuan again.

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't really count on Nanny He, and continued: "The Ai family thinks that the girl from the Yu family is good, dignified and quiet, with decent speech, whether it is talent, learning, family status, bearing or appearance, they are all extraordinary."

"The girl from the Zhang family is also pretty good, she is gentle and elegant, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Also, the girl from the Fan family is also a good girl who is knowledgeable, polite, and caring..."

Empress Dowager Yuan praised three or four daughters of aristocratic families, and Nanny He who was beside her nodded repeatedly, and praised all these girls with a lot of eloquence.

The master and servant sang together and talked freely.

Next to him, a thin waiter in Tsing Yi walked silently holding a wooden box towards the incense burner in the corner, his steps faltered for a moment, and he walked to the incense burner as if nothing had happened.

The servant in Tsing Yi turned his back to Queen Mother Yuan, and frowned tightly.

The Yu family in Yuzhou is indeed a family that has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and it is quite prestigious in the local area, but it is not as glamorous as it was in the previous dynasty. Now the whole family relies on the British government to barely maintain some dignity.

What's more, this Yu Chaoyun is not even the eldest daughter.

In addition, the Zhang family in Qingzhou has also been in the sunset for these years. The children in the family rely on their family, and they are all incapable of writing or martial arts. There is only one Zhang Dun who was reused by the late emperor and served as the chief envoy of Yanzhou. Now Zhang Dun is old and died last year. I have already filed a letter to retire, and the Zhang family has no successors...

Not to mention the Fan family, the next generation might not even have the qualifications to stand on the Golden Luan Hall.

The Empress Dowager really picked some "good" families for the First Prince!

Thinking about it, a gloomy emotion flashed in the eyes of the waiter in Tsing Yi, and with a shake of his hand, the sandalwood in his hand was cut off and fell to the ground.

In the back, Empress Dowager Yuan was still commenting one sentence after another: "...the third girl of the Liu family is also beautiful and intelligent. She likes calligraphy and painting, and she wants to get along with the eldest prince."

"besides……"

The following words of the Empress Dowager Yuan could not reach the ears of the waiter in Tsing Yi, and his thoughts could not help turning back to the girl from the Gu family that the Empress Dowager mentioned at the beginning, chewing carefully.

Although the Empress Dowager and Nanny He didn't say it directly, what they said clearly meant that the eldest prince fell in love with Miss Gu's family.

There are two Miss Gu present here today, and naturally it cannot be Miss Gu San who King Kang likes, so it is another Miss Gu Er.

Thinking about it, the servant in Tsing Yi's heart couldn't help beating twice.

Thinking back to the back and forth between Gu Yanfei and Queen Mother Yuan just now, he immediately tasted another taste.

The waiter in Tsing Yi's eyes lit up, thinking: He has to report to the emperor quickly, the emperor has been looking forward to it for so many years, he must be happy.

The waiter in Tsing Yi smiled until his eyes were narrowed, and he took another plate of sandalwood neatly to replace the residual incense in the incense burner.

Another wisp of green smoke curled up, intertwined with the original sandalwood, and the fragrance in the air became more intense.

After the waiter in Tsing Yi closed the lid of the incense burner, he quietly withdrew from the Nuan Pavilion.

After walking out of the Shou'an Palace, the waiter in Tsing Yi happened to see the girls in front of him walking out of the gate of the Shou'an Palace, and couldn't help but search for Gu Yanfei's figure, thinking: Gu Er girl is also dressed too thinly, he has to make People put two more charcoal basins in the Tinglan Water Pavilion.

The boundless wind and snow came head-on, and the girls shrank a bit from the cold. Although the cold wind was biting, several of them felt relieved.

Not everyone is as fearless as Wei Jiaoniang and the Queen Mother. Several girls were so nervous just now that they didn't even know how to let go of their hands and feet.

"Girls, please go this way." The maid Liushuang walked in the front to lead the way for the girls, and walked along the Qingshiban Road towards the imperial garden in the northeast.

These people are still very distinct, nobles belong to nobles, nobles belong to nobles, families belong to families, and they each work in their own way.

The snow seems to be gradually decreasing, and the fluffy snowflakes like catkins are floating in the air, making the surroundings hazy, as if there is a thick fog in the air.

Looking up, you can see that the bright yellow glazed tiles on the roof have been covered with a thin layer of snow.

Several girls who were afraid of the cold hid their bodies shyly in thick cloaks, wishing to hide their whole bodies in it.

Wei Jiaoniang was full of energy, not afraid of the wind and snow at all, her cheeks were flushed like rouge.

"Yanfei," Wei Jiaoniang held Gu Yanfei's left arm affectionately, leaned into her ear and whispered intimately, "Do you know what the Empress Dowager asked us to do?"

Wei Jiaoniang just wanted to start a conversation, she didn't really want Gu Yanfei to answer anything, she continued: "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have to find a way to call you into the palace."

She kept her voice extremely low, and her warm breath almost reached Gu Yanfei's ears.

"..." Gu Yanfei tilted her face and blinked suspiciously.

Why call her into the palace?

Want to watch the fun? !

Thinking about it, Gu Yanfei's eyes were bright and full of energy.

Lu Qin watched them whispering with their heads leaning against each other, put one hand on Gu Yanfei's right arm, and leaned over to listen.

She was also full of doubts.

The Empress Dowager is really weird today, first she called them into the palace urgently, and now she sent them to visit the imperial garden in heavy snow, it is simply inexplicable!

Wei Jiaoniang looked around, for fear of being overheard.

The whistling wind and snow around them became the most natural barrier instead, and there was no one in front of or behind them.

Wei Jiaoniang seemed to be a thief, and whispered: "My mother told me that the queen mother is going to choose a concubine for the eldest prince."

"So that's how it is." Lu Qin stroked her palm lightly.

At this moment, thinking back to the Queen Mother Yuan's way of asking questions in the warm pavilion, Lu Qin suddenly realized.

Mrs. Wei Guogong Shizi knew that her daughter was a straight-hearted person, so she specially analyzed the current situation and Queen Mother Yuan's careful thinking with her in the carriage, because she was afraid that her daughter would be accidentally stepped into the pit by the Queen Mother.

"My mother said that the eldest prince and King Kang are about the same age, only two or three years apart, and they are both at the age of marriage."

"If the Empress Dowager casually says that she wants to marry the eldest prince, it will inevitably fall into disbelief. Now that King Kang's marriage has been settled, the empress dowager can use the excuse that she can't take care of one and lose the other, and half pushes and half-forces the emperor to also arrange the elder prince's marriage. .”

Empress Dowager Yuan wanted King Kang to take over the position wholeheartedly, so she would not find a powerful Yue family for the eldest prince, she would definitely dig a hole for the eldest prince, just like she did to make things difficult for Gu Yanfei in the warm pavilion!

Thinking about what happened just now, Wei Jiaoniang looked at Gu Yanfei with pity in her eyes, as if she was watching a delicate flower in full bloom that was almost destroyed by someone's hands.

"Oh, it's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry."

The emperor has to worry about the eldest prince's marriage, so there is no need for the empress dowager to meddle in her own business!

Holding the umbrella in one hand, Wei Jiaoniang held Gu Yanfei's hand in the other, and promised solemnly, "Don't worry, Yanfei, I will help you."

The eldest prince and her family Yan Fei are the best match, and she will never let others cut her off.

She said, she will help Yan Fei!

"I'll help you too." Lu Qin held Gu Yanfei's right arm, patted his chest happily and said.

Lu Qin and Wei Jiaoniang had been handkerchief handkerchiefs for more than ten years, so they realized it immediately, and exchanged a clever look with her, which meant that they knew it all!

Gu Yanfei, who was sandwiched between the two, only half understood that the Empress Dowager Yuan was going to choose a concubine for Chu Yi, and she would definitely not choose well.

But why do they all help her?

The surrounding wind and snow fluctuated from time to time, and a few snowflakes drifted into the umbrella with the wind.

Before Gu Yanfei could figure it out, Wei Jiaoniang exhaled white air from her lips, blew the snow away, sneered mockingly, and said, "My mother also said that the queen mother is afraid that I have taken a fancy to me, and she wants me to give it to King Kang. Be a side concubine."

Yeah? ! Lu Qin's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning, her jaw almost dropped in shock.

The next thought was: Is the queen mother out of her mind? !

"Hmph." Wei Jiaoniang snorted softly, and arrogantly said to the two, "Think, get, be beautiful!"

She said every word, with puffy cheeks on both sides.

It was precisely because she knew what the Empress Dowager Yuan was thinking that she hated the Empress Dowager so mercilessly in the warm pavilion just now, so she didn't want to be a concubine!
