Chapter 1008: Final Selection (II)
Jiajing suddenly smiled and said: "I see, why do you kid want to run for the horse, I can't say why, and I don't need to be on duty in Yulinwei in the future." ”
Everyone can hear that Jiajing's words are just ridiculous, and there is a sense of closeness, it seems that the emperor's impression of Sun Bin is also good.
For a while, everyone in the hall had different expressions, and they thought that Li Chun's election as a concubine was a sure thing, but now it seems that Sun Bin is also very promising, mainly because this person's background is stronger than Li Chun, and he has both a child identity and a martial arts person, just like his name, both civil and military!
Although Sun Bin is tall and strong, his personality is obviously a little shy, and he said with a red face: "Back to the emperor, the reason why his subordinates are running for the horse...... It's because... Because I admire Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu. ”
Sun Bin didn't lie, just the so-called fair lady, good gentleman, when Sun Bin was on duty in the palace, he met Princess Yongfu by chance, and was immediately attracted by the other party's appearance and temperament, and gave birth to a heart of admiration, so he signed up for the marriage election, for which he was also beaten down by his Lao Tzu.
Jiajing laughed when he heard this: "You kid has a good vision, my imperial sister is a fairy-like beauty, knowledgeable and courteous, and beautiful and wise, whoever marries her is a blessing from eight lifetimes." ”
At this time, Emperor Jiajing was like the old king who sold melons in the vegetable market, and he boasted about it when he seized the opportunity.
Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at her son with disgust, and she was quite conflicted in her heart, if Li Chun was elected in terms of appearance and temperament, but Sun Bin was better in terms of background, which is really difficult to choose.
In fact, not only the Empress Dowager Jiang was entangled, but Jiajing was also very entangled at this time, if Yongfu was here, he would probably ask directly, Yongfu would order whoever he liked, and it would save his nerves.
"Who does the queen think is more suitable to be the concubine of Yongfu?" Jiajing turned his head and asked Empress Wu next to him.
It was the first time for the emperor to ask for his opinion, and it was still in front of the courtiers, so Empress Wu was very happy and said: "The concubine thinks Sun Bin is better." ”
"Why?" Jiajing was slightly stunned and asked, he thought that Empress Wu would meet Li Chun, who was polite in Chinese, just as men like beautiful women, and women naturally like handsome men.
Empress Wu explained with a smile: "Sun Bin is not only a child, but also a martial artist, Yunwen Yunwu, born in a family of eunuchs, and dignified, he should be the best candidate for a horse, and Li Chun is only a businessman, and Shangjia is mostly a despicable person who values profit and little shame, and it is really difficult to be worthy of my princess Daming." ”
It's funny to say that Empress Wu herself is not of high origin, but she looks down on Li Chun, who is also a flat-headed commoner, just like in today's society, it is often the Chinese themselves who look down on the Chinese. Of course, the reason why Empress Wu did not vote for Li Chun was, on the one hand, because she looked down on the other party's background, and on the other hand, because she was to curry favor with Emperor Jiajing.
Since the last time she was awakened by the Taoist priest Tao Zhongwen, Empress Wu has actually opened her mind, no longer being her old-fashioned queen at a glance, and has begun to know how to greet the emperor gently and considerately, this trick really worked, Jiajing's attitude towards her has obviously changed, and the number of visits to Kunning Palace has also increased.
Empress Wu, who tasted the sweetness, was naturally more energetic, and even began to speculate about Jiajing's thoughts, just now Jiajing showed closeness to Sun Bin, so Empress Wu thought that Jiajing was more inclined to Sun Bin, so she voted for Sun Bin, not without the intention of currying favor with Jiajing.
In fact, Jiajing doesn't attach so much importance to the so-called background, he himself is a ninety-five honor, rich all over the world, the most important thing to choose a brother-in-law is that his sister likes it, as for the background or something, it is only secondary, let you be a pawn of a peddler, or even a homeless beggar, if you are a concubine, you are a noble son-in-law, what does it matter if you have no house, no car, no ticket? I have! There is a big one!
Jiajing and Empress Wu and others sat in the hall, and a group of candidates stood under the hall, far apart, so the words of the two of them discussed in a low voice, and the candidates under the hall should not be able to hear clearly, but Li Chun is a master of the inner family, and his facial features are naturally sensitive and different from ordinary people, obviously hearing the conversation between Jiajing and Empress Wu, his eyes couldn't help flashing a sharp cold glow, but he covered it up well, and the others in the hall didn't notice anything unusual.
"What about the concubine, who does it mean?" Jiajing turned to Concubine Shu for advice.
The lady's age is older than Zhu Houxi, she is twenty-two years old this year, and her figure is ~ mature ~ plump ~ full, which is incomparable to the flat Queen Wu, plus now that she is pregnant, she looks more and more round and jade, and her white and red skin makes Queen Wu, who is also a woman, jealous.
I saw Concubine Shu smile softly: "The concubine thinks that Li Chunbi is suitable for Yongfu." ”
Obviously, when it comes to speculating on people's hearts, the yellow-haired girl of Queen Wu is even less than Concubine Shu, after all, Concubine Shu is several years older, and four or five years of food is not for nothing.
Next, Jiajing asked Concubine De again, and the latter also voted for Li Chun, for the same reason as Concubine Shu, Queen Wu suddenly felt uncomfortable, and unconsciously straightened her face.
Okay, now it's 2 votes to 1, Li Chun is ahead of Sun Bin, as for the remaining three candidates, they have become foils, no one cares anymore, and now the decision is in the hands of Jiajing and Empress Dowager Jiang.
As far as Jiajing himself is concerned, he likes Sun Bin even more, and he hopes that his brother-in-law will be a talent who is Yunwen and Yunwu, but considering Yongfu's personal preferences, Jiajing still said: "I also think that Li Chun is more suitable for Yongfu, what does the queen mother think?" ”
As soon as Jiajing's words came out, Li Chun, who had been pricking up his ears and eavesdropping in the hall, couldn't help but be ecstatic, and he was about to make a great achievement, wahaha, Lao Tzu Li Dayi is about to become the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing Xiaoer's brother-in-law, who will believe it? Wahaha, the princess is in hand, I have !! in the world
Thinking that Princess Yongfu was still a charming beauty in the rumors, Li Chun's mood became even more excited, but it was estimated that he was too excited, Li Chun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if a flame burned from his lungs to his throat.
Li Chun secretly screamed that it was not good, knowing that he was emotionally affected by the dark disease of the lung meridian, he hurriedly took a deep breath and tried to suppress the cough!
At this time, Empress Dowager Jiang was hesitating, but her heart was obviously inclined to Li Chun, and just as she was about to open her mouth to make a final decision, a person flashed out of the palace, a beautiful girl in palace clothes, who was Princess Yongchun.
Princess Yongchun suddenly appeared, and everyone in the palace was surprised, now it's time to choose a husband for your sister, why did you run out of this little sister-in-law? It's really out of character and a loss of royal face!
Zhu Houxi was stunned and then suddenly lowered his face and shouted: "Yongchun, what do you want to do, go back to the back quickly!" ”
Yongchun didn't care, and whispered something in the ear of the Empress Dowager Jiang, and then made a grimace at Zhu Houxi, and trotted back to the back of the hall.
The ministers in the palace were dumbfounded again, but Fei Hong showed a wry smile, he also has such a little pepper in his family, and he has never been able to marry! It's a real headache!
Zhu Houxi couldn't cry or laugh at this time, whether he had a seizure or not, and finally he could only sigh secretly, blaming himself for being too indulgent to Yongchun, and at the same time he was also very curious about what Yongchun said to his mother.
Empress Dowager Jiang was also crying and laughing at this time, it turned out that Princess Yongchun just said in her ear that her sister liked that Li Chun, so Empress Dowager Jiang thought that Princess Yongfu was also hiding behind the palace at this time to peek, how could it be reasonable, if the minister knew that Princess Yongfu was hiding behind the palace to choose her husband, I am afraid that the royal face would be lost, rude!
Although Empress Dowager Jiang was a little annoyed, after all, it was the meat that fell from her body, so she cleared her throat and said: "The mourning family thinks Li ......"
Just as Empress Dowager Jiang was about to make a final decision, a dramatic scene was born, and Li Chun, who was originally handsome and elegant and elegant, trembled (swallowed), and then coughed violently.
Li Chun's cough is terrible, it can be described as earth-shattering, just like a spring, the more tightly compressed, the stronger the rebound will be. Li Chun forced his cough for a few minutes, and then he couldn't suppress his cough, and it was like the Yellow River was running out of embankments...... Ahem, ahem!
Li Chun coughed frantically, the cough was fast, urgent and loud, and the entire hall was filled with his coughing sound, as if dozens of Franc machine guns were fired in a salvo, and everyone looked sideways.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Li Chun coughed non-stop, and the Taoist priest Tao Zhongwen on the seat on the side of the hall shouted loudly (Immeasurable Tianzun!) Then he flashed out of the dust and gently patted Li Chun's back, and the latter gradually stopped coughing, but he had already coughed to tears and snot, and his image and demeanor were ruined.
Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Wu and others were dumbfounded, and Zhu Houxi opened his mouth wide and didn't come to his senses, what happened?
At this time, Tao Zhongwen brought Li Chun a glass of water to drink, and the latter finally calmed down, bowed and said: "The grass people have occasionally felt the wind and cold recently, and they have lost their manners in front of the king, and they deserve to die!" ”
Zhu Houxi also came back to his senses at this time, but his heart was not steady, Li Chun coughed so badly just now, he was worried that the other party would cough out his lungs, just like this, is it an occasional cold? This child can't be seriously ill, right? If that were the case, wouldn't it be a disservice to eternal bliss!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but feel cold, and Empress Dowager Jiang also had a gloomy face, obviously in line with Zhu Houxi's thoughts.
"Yan Song Bichun, Li Chun's body has been examined by the imperial doctor, right?" Zhu Houxi asked in a deep voice.
Yan Song and Bi Chun couldn't help but be excited, if it was found out that Li Chun was seriously ill, this would not be a joke, and they would have bad luck as the principal and deputy marriage envoys.
Yan Song fell to his knees and said, "All the candidates have been examined by the imperial doctor, and the emperor can summon several adults from the imperial hospital to inquire." ”
Zhu Houxi was a little stunned when he heard this, but he was still not at ease, and waved his hand: "Come here, summon Jifengchun, well, summon Li Yanwen as well." ”
Li Chun and Bingyi real person Tao Zhongwen's face changed slightly when he heard this, and the latter hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the poor Dao also understands a little, why don't you let the poor Dao take the pulse for Li Shizhu?" ”
Empress Dowager Jiang obviously trusted Tao Zhongwen very much, and hurriedly said: "There is Lao Bingyi real person." ”
So Tao Zhongwen pretended to take the pulse for Li Chun.
