Chapter 713 The Allure of the Imperial Husband 9
This reason, which no one believed, made His Majesty extremely distressed. He waved his hand and said she would go to court whenever she wanted.
Some old officials felt a little confused and were not sure what His Majesty meant.
If he wanted to pass the throne to the Seventh Princess, he would have tried his best to train her. Why would he let her run wild? Or is it that His Majesty really dotes on the Seventh Princess to this extent...
Early morning.
Several officials looked at the vacant position, looked at each other, and then sighed.
An old official moved closer to the prime minister and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do we want to persuade His Highness the Seventh?"
"What are you trying to persuade?" The old female prime minister, who had gray hair on her temples, squinted her eyes on the ground.
"Well, if His Majesty the Seventh Prince does not go to court, the situation... may turn to the side of the First Princess."
In recent days, there have been many people from the eldest princess's faction in the court.
The Prime Minister glanced at her and said meaningfully: "Who will get that position in the end is up to Your Majesty."
"But..."
"Okay."
The official asked her not to say more, and after she hesitated to speak, she sighed and returned to her seat.
At this time, Qi Shangshu glanced at the eldest princess, then stood up and started playing.
"Your Majesty has not been able to fill the harem for three years. I now propose that your Majesty conduct a draft."
The eldest princess stood up at this time and said: "Mother, my son and minister second my opinion."
Draft?
The officials were stunned for a moment and then began to talk about it. Apparently they didn't expect that she would mention the draft.
A certain military official muttered in a low voice: "If you want to recruit people to His Majesty's harem, just say so. What kind of draft are you talking about in such a formal way?"
The Prime Minister lazily raised his eyes, his old eyes flashing with light.
The empress frowned slightly and looked deeply at the courtier who made the proposal and her eldest daughter.
After a long silence, she said: "There is no need to add more to Gu's harem of three thousand beauties. However, except for the eldest and second youngest, Gu's seven princes have not yet become husbands, so why not let Gu's five princes Go choose this show.”
Qi Shangshu's eyes widened. How is this possible?
"Your Majesty, this... is not in line with etiquette." "What? Do you have any objections to Gu's decision?"
The third princess's lowered eyelashes covered the dark color in her pupils. She smiled and said: "My son is eighteen years old. It is indeed time to become a real husband. Thank you, Mother."
The empress looked at her in surprise, and her face became better: "Then let's do it like this."
……
The Seventh Princess's Mansion.
Qingwu was sitting in the pavilion with his chin propped up, his slender white fingers holding the white chess pieces, and they landed on the chessboard casually.
The palace servant who imparted the empress's will held up the imperial edict and bent over while dripping with sweat.
After playing a game of chess, she raised her eyes to look at the opponent.
"The Queen asked me to choose a real husband in the draft?"
"Exactly."
"Any one is fine?"
The palace man lowered his head, thought about Her Majesty the Empress's attitude, and nodded.
"His Majesty said that His Majesty the Seventh Prince can fall in love with anyone. If he likes it, he can choose a few more to be his side princes."
Qingwu blinked his light eyes, touched his chin and thought for a moment, thinking that he should go take a look.
Maybe the target of my own strategy is there, but I can't take advantage of any wild woman.
"Okay, I accept this decree."
She nodded and let the old housekeeper waiting aside take the imperial edict.
The palace man bowed and left quickly.
Qing Wu put the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard on the table into the chess bowl, his movements careless.
The old housekeeper glanced at the bright imperial edict, with a smile on his face and was very pleased.
"Your Highness is finally getting married."
