Bondage

"Is this the candidate for the crown princess you have been choosing for so long?"

"Why is the prince dissatisfied?"

The three adults looked at each other, not knowing what the prince meant.

The women on the list are all daughters of famous families in Shangjing Middle School, both talented and virtuous.Most of them are outstanding in appearance, gentle in temperament, and more importantly, their mother clan is strong, which can help the prince.

The prince can find no faults in all aspects, except that there is no support from the mother clan behind him. Although there is no worry about his relatives interfering in politics, it is not a good thing for the current prince.

If the wives are strong, they can make up for this regret.

The three veterans also pondered for a long time before selecting these candidates.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I just feel that these people can't be called princesses."

Shen Qianyu said: "I know that several adults have put in all their efforts, and the ones selected are all talented and beautiful women who are quite famous in their boudoirs, but..."

Nodding to Wanxiao, Wanxiao stepped forward and handed a few people a Dongchang secret sticker.

"The candidates proposed by several adults are almost the same as what I thought. Therefore, I have already asked the people from Dongchang to secretly check whether these women are really as good as the rumors."

The three adults stepped forward, opened the secret note of Dongchang and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the names of the women above were all hidden, but what year, month and day, these women either openly or secretly cursed the elders of the clan, or acted domineeringly and beat and scolded the servants of the mansion are all recorded in the book.

Several people also saw a record of a woman putting a baby mouse into the clothes of a maidservant, seeing the maid rolling on the ground begging for mercy, taking pleasure in the pain of the subordinates, and seeing a foreigner privately without the company of her elders.

"This... this, this..."

Shen Qianyu waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, if there is no Dongchang, who would know that these women are duplicity and double-faced?"

"These people are really unworthy of being crown princesses, even the crown prince Liang Di and Liang Yuan are also inappropriate."

Shen Qianyu leaned back slightly, and the forceful posture made the three veterans involuntarily lower their heads to avoid his sharp edge.

One of the older ones said: "I wonder if the prince has a candidate for the princess?"

"It's not..."

Seeing the old minister heaving a sigh of relief, Shen Qianyu curled his lips into a smile: "I don't want to say what I think the princess's family background looks like, but she must be the most virtuous woman in the world."

"The prince is right."

Master Luo said: "May I ask you, what kind of woman in the prince's mind can be called both moral and talented? Enough to enter the East Palace?"

"If I ask Ben Gong to say, it's probably..."

Shen Qianyu pursed his lips and smiled: "It should be like the first daughter of Lord Shang Chongshang."

"Shang Chong, Lord Shang?"

Mr. Shang is about the same age as them, and his prostitutes are all over thirty years old, so where are there unmarried pro daughters?

Master Luo blinked, looked at Master Huang beside him, Master Huang was slightly taken aback, and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness is talking about the merchant girl who was bitten by a wolf in the temple in the early years to save her grandmother?"

"nature."

Shen Qianyu said: "This woman's filial piety touched the heavens. Saving people with a wolf's mouth can be described as a combination of righteousness and courage. Only such virtues can be called a model of women."

Mr. He, who has not spoken yet, frowned fiercely: "This girl became disabled after being bitten by a wolf, and I don't know if she was overly frightened. It is said that she would convulse and fall to the ground from time to time, so she is over thirty and has not been married yet."

"Although such a woman has great virtue, she really cannot be a princess!"

Mr. Luo and Mr. Huang knelt down in unison to object, and Shen Qianyu hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Your lords have misunderstood me, and I have no intention of making this woman a crown princess."

The three adults breathed a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't for the fact that the merchant girl hadn't seen her for a long time, they would all have guessed whether the prince had something to do with her before, so they would find such a person.

It's a pity that the three of them hadn't caught their breath yet, Shen Qianyu said again: "It's barely enough to be the prince Liangdi."

"This...this girl is much older than the crown prince...she really doesn't match her age."

Shen Qianyu shook his head: "What is a woman's age? I only value character and don't care about a woman's appearance. No matter how beautiful she is, if she has the heart of tigers, leopards and wolves, what else can she do except bring disaster to the country and the people and the harem?"

"As for the candidate for the crown princess, you can search according to this woman's moral standards."

The three adults opened their mouths and opened and closed for a long time without saying a word.

The noble daughters of Shang Jinggang and Ji, I am afraid that I will never find another one who can save people with a wolf mouth!

Where are they going to find such standards?I'm afraid I won't be able to find it in another ten or eight years...

But the three of them couldn't refute it, and they couldn't say that the crown princess and the future queen don't need virtue.

Master He shook his head: "The standard is too high, it's not easy for me to handle."

"Are you saying that there is no woman with excellent moral character in Dongning?"

"I don't mean that, my minister..."

"Master He."

Shen Qianyu said softly: "This Palace is not asking you to choose the Crown Princess right now, you don't have to worry too much, it is about Sheji Crown Princess, you can look for it slowly, slowly."

Lord Luo frowned, and when he was wondering if the crown prince didn't want to marry, Shen Qianyu said again: "As for the crown prince Liang Di and the crown prince Liang Yuan, you should make a decision first. Of course, the virtues also need to refer to the merchant's daughter-in-law."

"In addition, these women are all admirable. If we decide on candidates in the future, we need to send people to these women's homes to inquire. If they refuse to enter the palace, they will be rewarded with 500 taels and sent home."

Master Luo's eyes were reddish, and he called out three times to the wise prince.

Mr. Huang and Mr. He were not to be outdone, and they also knelt down to worship the emperor, and called the prince to love the people.

Wan Xiao's eyelids throbbed when he saw it, and he couldn't help stretching out his hands to press the corners of his eyes.

Now which woman dares to say that she is more virtuous than the prostitute daughter of a businessman who saved her grandmother by feeding a wolf with her body?

I am afraid that the position of the crown princess will be vacant for a long time.

Moreover, those women with high family backgrounds definitely don't want to be just a prince, Liangdi Liangyuan, and they are afraid that they will also retreat.

As for the candidate for Concubine Liang that his master mentioned... Wan Xiao let out a long sigh, he really didn't dare to think who would be chosen.

Master Huang was in tears all the time, he only felt that the prince was not obsessed with beauty and paid attention to virtue, he really looked like an emperor through the ages.

He thought hotly: "Your Highness, this old minister has the courage to recommend the daughter of the mansion. The old minister's daughter is familiar with the classics and history collections, and her knowledge and character are all first-class. The old minister is not greedy for power, but His Highness is wise. This old minister is willing to entrust her daughter to the crown prince." Your Highness."

When the two adults He Luo heard the words, they regretted that they were one step slower.

"Master Huang's daughter must be a model among women, Wan Xiao..."

"The minister is here."

"Record all the unmarried daughters in Mr. Huang's mansion."

Master Huang was taken aback: "All?"

Shen Qianyu nodded: "It's just for the record, and the roster has to be handed over to the empress for review. How about asking the empress about the selection of the crown prince Liangdi Liangyuan?"

Wan Xiao took the pen and ink handed over by the court lady, lowered her eyes slightly, and took up the pen to record all the women in Mr. Huang's mansion who had not left the court. This action sent a chill down the spine of the three veteran officials.

I'm afraid it's not just Mr. Huang's mansion that Dongchang has thoroughly explored, those concubine granddaughters whose ages and names they can't even remember are now written by Wan Xiao one by one, which is really frightening.

Seeing that his most beloved granddaughter, who was not yet ten years old, was also recorded on the list of Prince Liangdi, Master Huang finally regretted his quick talk, and hurriedly stopped him: "That's good, that's good, old minister The granddaughter is still young, she is still young..."
