Chapter 493 The pain of deceiving comes to an end 41
When the prince said this, he stared at the queen's face uneasily and cautiously.
Who said this decision was too much for fame and fortune? Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was the prince's intention to lay a good political foundation for himself. After marrying these three women, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, inheriting the throne will be a sure thing.
Xining smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will send someone to draft the edict, send it to the two concubines to have the phoenix seal stamped, and send someone to the three families to announce the good news. When do you want to get married?"
The prince was stunned, but he didn't expect to agree so readily. He seemed quite happy.
Thinking about the long nights and many dreams, he said: "One month later!"
"Okay, okay!" Xining didn't look like a stepmother, she was so doting on her.
The news was sent to Concubine De, and the two of them took turns holding the Phoenix Seal. Today it was Concubine De's turn. After hearing this, Concubine De only hesitated for a moment before picking up the phoenix seal and stamping it.
The Phoenix Seal originally belonged to the Empress, and judging from the words, the Empress recognized it. She didn't want to be a bad person and fall into trouble. Since the queen approved it, she stamped it with the phoenix seal. That’s right!
Three times, five times and two times divided by two, the three marriage decrees were completed, and the eunuchs were sent to the three houses to read them out.
When the three families received the marriage decree from their empress, except Zhao Guogong's family who was the most happy, the other two families were somewhat unhappy. The difference between the crown prince's main concubine and the crown prince's side concubine is just one word, and the slightest difference can make a huge difference. But who said their family has no military power?
The prince felt relieved, sent out the imperial edict and poured out the water. He didn't sleep all night, so he lay down and slept in the side courtyard of Zhaoyang courtyard.
After Xue Pinggui learned the news, he ran over. When they met, they complained: "Why did you agree and not discuss it with me?"
There are many cases in history where the prince or prince has too much power. If he cannot wait any longer, he may force the palace to abdicate the throne.
Originally Dai Zan had forced Xue Pinggui to abdicate and give way to the crown prince. This made Xue Pinggui feel more like a thorn in his back.
Xi Ning replied gently: "It's fine if the prince likes it. I'm a concubine, so I can't do anything to harm my stepson."
If you like Mao, you will know at a glance that it is not a question of whether you like him or not, but that the prince wants to establish and consolidate his position as prince.
You must know that Wang Baochuan should not be responsible for this matter. This stupid woman only knows how to be a good wife and mother and knows nothing about politics.
Things were already like this, and Xue Pinggui could only give up.
With only one month to prepare the dowry, the three families immediately became busy.
Wedding dress, phoenix crown, wedding hijab, red embroidered shoes...
Various embroidered backs, dresses, handkerchiefs...
Head and face, jewelry, rouge and gouache...
Furniture, camphor wood boxes for dowry, ornaments...
One month was too little time, and the three families complained endlessly. But Xining didn't take it seriously. It turned out that the prince had not fulfilled his filial piety and kept everything simple.
But the three families were trying their best to compete, especially the Zhou family and the Ling family who were concubines. They thought that winning the dowry would give their daughter a status after marrying and humiliate the Duke of Zhao's family. When the three ladies were shopping for dowry, they had their eye on the same thing, and they would quarrel with each other, almost every now and then, and the tricks would be different every time.
Now everyone's focus was on the prince's marriage, and Beauty Sun finally showed her pregnancy.
After Sun Meiren became pregnant, Xue Pinggui came less frequently and went to take a nap in other concubines' palaces instead. Sun Meiren was very apologetic about this, but the queen still had no intention of expelling her and asked her to live in peace. The queen is indeed virtuous, virtuous, and selfless!
Bah... Xining pouted, why not reverse the situation, the woman is pregnant with someone else's child, and the man keeps it and raises it, preparing to become a father. It is indeed a dynasty where women were poisoned.
Mo Ming: "This is why the former wins. Women are weak, so they can only obey men's arrangements. When most women are weak, then the rules are dictated by the strong. I tell you to kill the prince, kill Xue Pinggui, and support the body master You just don’t want your son to take the throne. What’s wrong with this arrangement?”
Xining: "Don't be like this. The great and dark system is huge. I have a bottom line as a god."
Mo Ming: "Fuck your bottom line."
Xining: "Do I have it? Do you have it? If you have it, what is your mother's surname?"
Mo Ming...it's better to disappear. This main god is not on the same path, it is simply unreasonable. ?
One month later, the prince got married. First, go to Duke Zhao's Mansion to marry Miss Zhao Jiu, the youngest daughter of Duke Zhao.
The next day, the two concubines were brought in through the side door at the same time. They stayed at Ling's house in the first half of the night, and stayed with Prime Minister Zhou's eldest granddaughter in the second half of the night. It is said that except Zhou Concubine who is too young, the other two have consummated their marriages!
Xining couldn't help but sigh, after all, he is Xue Pinggui's son, just like Xue Pinggui, he has good kidneys and everything is fine!
Three days after the wedding, according to the rules, the prince accompanied the prince and his wife back home. The next day, I will accompany Concubine Zhou back home in the morning and Concubine Ling back home in the afternoon.
Xining sighed again, Prince, are you busy enough?
Don't ask anymore, it's your turn to go to the Queen to say hello and thank you!
Xining could only get up early, get dressed, sit and wait.
As a result, the prince was sympathetic to her and knew that she liked to sleep in, so he only came after three hours a day. I'm going to bring all three together!
Looking at the long-faced, strong-faced Crown Princess and Concubine Zhao, the rosy-faced Concubine Zhao, and the childish-looking and confused Concubine Zhou, Xi Ning knew that they were inseparable.
Xi Ning ordered someone to bring some snacks: "This is the hawthorn cake made by the person just now. It's sour and sweet. It's very delicious. Try it."
Everyone thanked him and took it to eat. After eating one piece, I stopped eating.
Being a lady is really tiring and I can’t eat too much. Even when eating at a banquet, you only use a few chopsticks. When you see the queen or other ladies not eating, you have to put down your chopsticks no matter how hungry you are.
Seeing Concubine Zhou looking at the hawthorn cake on the table, licking her lips and drooling, it was obvious that the small piece just now was not enough to calm her greed.
Xining asked: "Concubine Zhou, is it delicious?"
Concubine Zhou nodded fiercely, but she immediately knew that such a gesture was too childish, so she lowered her head reservedly and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, the pastries in the palace are naturally unusual and very delicious."
This is said in a firm way, just like an endorsement. Even the prince laughed!
Xining smiled widely: "If it tastes good, eat more."
Concubine Zhou swallowed her saliva and continued to say forcefully: "Thank you, Queen, I am already full."
She obviously wanted to eat but couldn't. Looking at Zhou Concubine's age, she was only 12 years old. Apart from being a good girl, she didn't look very smart. Prime Minister Zhou's family was ruthless enough. They asked her to get married at such a young age and still become a concubine. She is not afraid of being killed by the principal concubine and other concubines.
Xining asked someone to wrap the hawthorn cake, and also prepared some other snacks to wrap together.
Concubine Zhou suddenly became happy. When she smiled, she quickly pursed her lips and pretended to express gratitude.
