Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 487 Entering the Palace, First Selection

“Tomorrow, is the day of the harem election, there are a few families of the first daughter although sent up, but also just going through the motions, can be in the first day and those who did not choose together with the brush down, wind and masters have also seen palmistry for them before, basically are not the legendary phoenix life of the daughter.”

Empress Tu’s Fengyi Palace, Prince Wen Tianyao sat at the bottom of the head, listening to Empress Tu narrated, but Jue silent and looked at the paper handed up by the palace maid.

“Empress Mother, these are all young ladies from the worldly families, would it make them feel uncomfortable to be brushed off like this in the first round?” Only after half a minute did he raise his handsome face and look at Empress Tu, who was sitting above him, and frowned.

“No matter, the meaning of these several families is just going through the motions, early brush down, for them, but also early in their hearts, this election time is relatively tight, coupled with your two younger sister’s affairs, after the New Year, there has to be a decision, but also always have to pick a few heartfelt family lady as a dowry of the lady!”

Empress Tu quite a headache of the road, the selection of things now basically have been properly, but is the third princess and the fourth princess thing, at the moment do not know how to deal with.

The main thing is that the initiative is actually not in the royal family, although the royal family has been clearly to marry the two princesses, but in the Yan Huai Jing, the three princesses and four princesses have said that they want to marry him, the two princesses have their own advantages, even if it is the Tu Empress is the four princesses of the birth mother, can not be said that the four princesses to marry the Yan Huai Jing words.

For this reason, the Fourth Princess and Empress Tu have had several fights, but in the end, they all ended up being unsettled.

Now it was not a question of whether the royal family would marry the princess to the princess or not, but rather a question of which princess Yan Huaijing would pick.

“Mother, although Yan Di is strong, but there is no need to let our two male directors he pick it, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, it has never been the case, and how can it mess up the rules of the king and the minister!” Wen Tianyao’s face clouded over, “There is even no need to slow down even the matter of the draft because of him.”

His eyes swept over the list that Empress Tu had given him, and a trace of strong displeasure flashed under his eyes; that piece of paper clearly had Wei Yuewu’s name on it, which meant that Wei Yuewu would be brushed off in the first round.

“The matter of Yan Di has been a long time, as early as many years ago your grandfather they have ideas, but now the past so many years, Yan Di is more and more powerful, and the capital dark weak down, in fact, is not what we want to do what we want to do, Prince, you have to remember, Yan Di is a big force, not suitable for hard attack, need to soften the, your father is the idea, your grandfather back then is also the idea. ”

Empress Tu sighed, and under the light, her face was somewhat dark and helpless.

For the Yan Di’s tail is not big, as a country after the Tu Empress and will not know, helpless Yan Di situation has become, can only slowly weakened.

“Mother, take Yan Huaijing as a hostage!” Wen Tianyao raised his eyes and said decisively.

The Duke of Yan had two sons, and all of them were born to the rightful wife, but the second son was still young, and if Yan Huaijing was withheld, it would be an incomparable loss to the land of Yan.

“Do you want Yan Di to start a war right away?” Empress Tu shook her head, looking at the youthful and exuberant Wen Tianyao, said with a straight face, “Crown Prince, I know that you don’t want to be held hostage by the Yan land, but right now, the treasury is empty, the national strength is declining, such as wanting to revitalize is also not a one or two day thing, and right now, your father is not well, and every day, you hold on strongly to go to the court, just for fear that the lords from those several places will find out that, if it is true that once the war starts, your father will be the first here to can’t hold out.”

Empress Tu sighed and analyzed.

“For yan land and other places, all need to be soft is, or lead them to kill each other, originally thought that the battle for the princess, will be more intense, which is expected to be two princesses for yan son of the situation! This time when the draft, must also select the first daughter of the big families, outstanding appearance, to not be the princess selected two, always let the four sons can marry the capital of the noblewoman.”

Four vassals son, two of them to marry the princess, the other two can only marry the world’s family, but the palace has long been ordered to advocate, but the problem is that there are two other status is equivalent to the first daughter of a large family, but also to the virtue of the face of all the people, it is really not good to look for, Tu Empress for this is also a headache.

“Yan Di, mother prefer the third sister or the fourth sister?” For the current situation, of course, Wen Tianyao is also clear, handsome eyebrows tightly frowned, father’s body is not feeling well, on the eve of the New Year’s Eve, almost couldn’t hold on, he went to the front to help him to entertain the ministers, only then did he let him rest a little bit.

For the Emperor’s illness, the palace doctors are also silent, the Imperial Hospital side of the case is not allowed anyone to view.

The palace itself is heavily burdened with circumstances, and outside the palace there are four lands watching, so this time the third and fourth princesses choosing a son-in-law is actually very important.

“Crown Prince, I know you and the third princess is very good relationship, but you don’t forget that the fourth princess is your own sister, break the bones even the tendons, the fourth prince and the third prince is a brother and sister, the fourth prince to you although always trust, but if the Yan Di married the third princess, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be something will be happening, I’m afraid that Zhaoyi there for the year’s events, grudgingly! ”

Empress Tu raised her eyes and her face became stern as she warned Wen Tianyao.

“Empress Mother, but what is it?” Seeing Empress Tu’s face, Wen Tianyao looked up and asked suspiciously, he didn’t know what his mother meant by saying this at this time.

“Some small things back then and nothing more, in fact, it’s not even a small thing, or maybe I’m just overthinking it!” Empress Tu stretched out her hand and rubbed her brow, saying wearily.

“Moreover, even if the four emperors did not have two hearts, the second prince there here from time to time want to be sick, want to be good, is not so easy to deal with, the empress dowager has always been compassionate to the two emperors, this time and out of the four emperors and the two emperors are and the marquis of huayang house of the three misses to mess with the thing, but in the end is bound to be into the four emperors house, is considered to be sorry for the side of the two emperors, empress dowager also summoned today this Palace over, let this time must pick a famous lady when the second prince consort!”

“That third young lady of the Marquis of Huayang’s residence, the fourth brother still can’t look at her, if the second brother really looks at her and doesn’t care, why didn’t he come to talk to the Empress Dowager earlier? Only after the Empress Mother has decreed here, did she let the Empress Dowager come to hold the commission!” Wen Tianyao sneered with a dissatisfied voice, this second brother of his own family is the most capable of doing things.

But because of his birth mother and the Empress Dowager has relatives, the Empress Dowager has always looked up to him, and said that his body is not good, so that they let him in everything, said his second brother in the palace has never suffered any wrongdoing, but he is not enough innate, from time to time there are sick and their own, often holding a pot of medicine, there are many people in the palace has almost never seen him.

“These even, the palace is now chaotic, the surface looks a calm, but who knows when the outbreak, the crown prince, you are the crown prince of the country, the future of a country, even more can not act rashly, the selection of the matter, although it is because of you, but if there is no so-called heavenly destiny of the daughter of the crown prince, this time, you are also to be fixed the prince consort! ”

Empress Tu said in a serious tone, “There are some things that have to be done, this is your mission as the Crown Prince, and even if you are not too willing, you have to do it!”

“Yes, everything according to what Mother Empress said!” Wen Tianyao lowered his head, the corners of his lips pursed up tightly, and only after half a second did he relax his lips and gently said.

“Alright, go back to rest earlier, even though tomorrow’s draft doesn’t have much to do with you, but help your father some more, don’t let him get too tired!”

“Yes, Empress Mother!” Wen Tianyao stood up to take his leave, “Mother Empress also take an early rest, the matter of the draft still needs to trouble Mother Empress!”

“It’s not a problem, why are we mother and son talking so polite!” A dignified smile appeared on Empress Tu’s face as she raised her eyes to look at her tall son, “You go down as well!”

Wei Yuewu was the one who left Marquis Hua Yang’s mansion early in the morning, and after bidding farewell to the dowager lady, she rode in the special small carriage sent out from the palace, and with only Shu Fei in tow, she headed for the palace gates.

To get to the palace door, only to find to the carriage one after another, far away from the view of the hexagon has a long slip, everyone together quietly guarded outside the palace door.

The time is still early, the palace door is not open, the sky is dim, the lights at the palace door is playing very bright, far away from the past, the shadow of all the people.

“Miss, you sleep again, a moment into the palace, slave girl call you!” Shu Fei put down the curtain in her hand, whispered to Wei Yuewu, getting up so early in the morning, this will indeed be a little sleepy, Wei Yuewu nodded, casually took a soft cushion and leaned to one side, closed her eyes to rest her mind.

The process didn’t really take long, and with the palace gates wide open, the carriage started up.

Wei Yuewu opened her eyes slightly.

“Miss, you sleep again, this will be going into the palace which, it is estimated that there is still a distance.” Shu Fei heard the voice, turned around and whispered.

Wei Yuewu re-closed her eyes and nodded, this section of the palace is indeed very long, looking at the way the carriage enters the palace, it should not be stopping at the palace gates and heading directly to the inner palace.

After a long time with her eyes closed, she heard Shufei’s voice in a daze and opened her slightly closed watery eyes, looking at Shufei with a few moments of confusion.

“Miss, we’re getting off, I heard the people outside say we’re here!”

“Good!” Wei Yuewu nodded and sat up straight as Shufei helped her straighten her grooming before helping her out of the carriage.

Wei Yuewu swept a glance at the venue she was in, where many showgirls had already stood, basically a showgirl with a maid, exactly the same as herself.

Everyone stood quietly on the field, surrounded by a color of lanterns, so many people one by one, without a sound, standing rules, no one dared to look around.

One after another, the pony carriages came in, and one young lady after another got off, all of them were the young ladies of the families in the capital, and a part of them still knew each other, but under such circumstances, at most, they only had their eyes to gesture slightly, and didn’t dare to make any big moves.

Several chamberlains hurriedly came over, the one who walked in the first place was obviously a high status chamberlain, although he was old, his voice was still shrill, he stood and fixed himself in front of all the showgirls, and asked with a shrill voice, “Who is the Miss of the Marquis of Huayang Mansion here?”
