Zhu Changluo just came out of the Fengtian Palace, and immediately rushed to Cining Palace, today is the winter solstice, not only the court will have a big ceremony, but also the women of the two palaces will enter the palace to meet the queen mother and queen of the two palaces.
And Queen Wang plans to choose a suitable candidate among them and set Princess Rongchang's marriage.
Unlike the concubines who must be selected from small households, the princesses of the Ming Dynasty are naturally very expensive, and there is no matter of harmony, most of them are selected from the children of Xun Qi in the early Ming Dynasty, but later the Wenchen is powerful, so this concubine also began to be selected from the children of the eunuchs.
In addition to being similar to the princess in age, family background, morality, appearance, and behavior all have to be screened layer by layer.
Even in the time of Emperor Sejong, he chose a concubine for the princess, and there was a child of a family named Chen Zhao, who finally broke out among countless children and almost decided to get married, but it was found that he was not a concubine, but only fostered in the name of his wife, and his biological mother was a concubine.
At that time, Emperor Sejong was furious and immediately withdrew his will and chose another son-in-law for the princess.
This shows how strict the selection of horses in the Ming Dynasty was.
But even so, the young Toshihiko who wants to become a colt in Kyochu is also grasping a lot of them.
Without him, as long as he becomes a concubine, he will be given the title of lieutenant of the concubine immediately, with two thousand stone taels every year, and even his father will get a knighthood, don't look at these Wenchen are now very hostile to their relatives, but if they are given a chance to have a knighthood, they will definitely run faster than anyone else.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit horses from participating in politics, although most of them were noble and unreal official positions, but they came much faster than the layers of imperial examinations.
Besides, Princess Rongchang is the only concubine of His Majesty today, and she is also the eldest daughter, her identity is extremely respectful, and it is said that she is the favorite granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and she can simply walk sideways in the capital if she marries her.
Not to mention, no matter which prince inherits the throne in the future, he will be the younger brother of Princess Rongchang!
In fact, according to the identity of Princess Rongchang, the selection of horses should be to select the children of the eunuchs in the country, but Queen Wang was worried that the Zheng family would do something in this marriage, so she thought about finalizing the marriage as soon as possible.
And today's entry into the palace to celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival is a good opportunity!
By the time Zhu Changluo arrived at Cining Palace, the palace had already begun to feast.
"Grandson, see the Empress Dowager Cisheng, see the Empress Dowager Rensheng! The son has seen the queen mother! ”
In the Cining Palace, there are three gorgeous women in overcoats sitting at the top, in the middle is the emperor's biological mother, and Zhu Changluo's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and on her left, a kind woman is also dressed in the crown dress of the Empress Dowager, looking at Zhu Changluo kindly, but it is the original match of Emperor Muzong, the emperor's mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Rensheng, Chen.
On the right side of the Empress Dowager Li is the smiling Queen Wang.
Below are the concubines of the palaces, and the leader is the Zheng family.
At the bottom are the women in their own dresses, and at a cursory glance, there are at least three or four hundred palace maids and musicians and dancers in this hall.
"King Shou is here, get up! Come, come to the mourners! ”
Empress Dowager Li smiled and waved her hand to command.
There was a small chamberlain at the bottom who stepped forward to lead Zhu Changluo into the table, and the seat was under the head of the queen.
"Luo'er, presumably the queen should have told you, today's banquet mourning family was not going to be held, but Rongchang has reached the age of marriage, should be married, but the Ministry of Rites has now proposed ten candidates, according to reason, this matter should be your father's idea, but Rongchang is different from ordinary princesses, the queen specially wants to ask the mourning family and the Empress Dowager Rensheng to give marriage, but the emperor's marriage should not be sloppy, the mourning family can not trust those officials of the foreign dynasty, so I summoned you over to choose a wishful husband for your imperial sister!"
As soon as she sat down, Empress Dowager Li glanced at the Zheng family below and said softly.
This matter was known to Zhu Changluo before he entered the palace, in fact, it was Empress Dowager Li who felt sorry for her granddaughter, and was afraid that her foolish son would be bewitched by the Zheng family and push her granddaughter into the fire pit.
In addition, there was another queen who came to beg, so this matter was handed over to Zhu Changluo to handle.
"Grandson obeys!"
Zhu Changluo got up and bowed his hand respectfully, and said.
"Go, the mourning family has ordered someone to bring these talents to the side hall of Cining Palace, you will take a look on behalf of the mourning family and the queen, who can win this pearl of our royal family!"
If it is placed on weekdays, this harem must be strictly guarded, and no one can enter, but today I took the opportunity of ordering the woman to congratulate and summoned these people who were planned to be sent by the Ministry of Rites to this Cining Palace.
"Grandson retires!"
Zhu Changluo arched his hand again, and was about to turn around, but saw Queen Wang stretching out her hand, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just took a deep breath and said.
"Luo'er, you...... Pick well! ”
"Mother rest assured, my son will definitely find a satisfactory husband for the imperial sister!"
Zhu Changluo showed a big smile and said.
After that, he walked out of the main hall with the two little chamberlains who came forward, but as he walked, Zhu Changluo found that something was wrong, because they did not come to the side hall, but arrived in front of the warm pavilion.
"How did you bring this king here?"
Zhu Changluo's face sank, and he squinted and said.
Frightened, the two little chamberlains fell to the ground at once, and kept kowtowing, but they didn't dare to speak.
"Your Highness is angry, it was the slaves and maids who asked them to bring Your Highness here!"
At this time, a gentle voice came from behind Zhu Changluo.
"Yun Niang? Why are you here? “
Zhu Changluo frowned and asked.
The person who came was Yun Niang, the personal maid of the queen.
"Your Highness comes with the slave!"
Yun Niang was blessed, but she first introduced Zhu Changluo into the warm pavilion.
Looking at the empty warm pavilion, Zhu Changluo was a little confused.
"Yun Niang, this ......"
"The Emperor...... The Emperor's Brother ......"
Before Zhu Changluo finished speaking, he saw a beautiful girl walking out of the corner of the warm pavilion, wearing a light cyan jacket and skirt, about sixteen or so, like a hibiscus out of the water, her little face was flushed, and she stammered a little when she spoke.
"Imperial sister?"
Zhu Changluo knew a little in his heart, and shouted with a smile.
He is the eldest son of the emperor, and the only one who can be qualified to be called the royal sister by him in this palace is Princess Rongchang!
"Let the little brother guess, the royal sister is here for this marriage? Could it be...... Got a sweetheart? ”
He didn't have much contact with this imperial sister, but he also knew that although his imperial sister looked well-behaved and lovely, she also had an idea in her heart.
Originally, he was still thinking about what kind of husband he was going to choose for her this time, but it seems that he doesn't need it now!
