Quick travel starts from tearing apart the plane management bureau

Before dawn, the carriages carrying the concubines had already stopped at the gate of Jingzhen Gate. Everyone was silent. The concubines lined up neatly in long queues, wearing beautiful women of different shapes and sizes, and they were truly the best in their respective places.

Among them, several of them are the most outstanding, including the legitimate daughter of Duke Pingguo Zhu, the legitimate daughter of Minister of Personnel Cui, the jewel in the crown of Governor-General Jiangnan Wu, and the legitimate daughter of Left Inspector Shi. Each of them is equally beautiful and famous.

The place for selecting beauties was Ning'an Hall in Chuxiu Palace. The beauties went in groups of six and were personally supervised by the emperor.

"Announce Cui Jiuli, daughter of Cui Hancheng, the Minister of Personnel."

"Han Jiangli, daughter of Han Rongcheng, the Minister of War."

"The words of Shi Lu, daughter of Shi Bing'an, the Left Inspector General."

"Wu Yanhua, daughter of Wu Shijie, the governor of Xuanjiangnan."

"Zhu Shuyue, daughter of Zhu Xi'an, Duke of Xuanping."

"Guo Yalan, daughter of Guo Baoen, Duke of Xuan'an."

"An audience."

As soon as the eunuch in charge of ceremonies finished speaking, six women immediately walked out of the crowd and came forward one by one to pay their respects to their fathers according to their ranks. Emperor Zhengtong, who was sitting on the high platform, became interested.

The first batch of beauties who came in were of relatively high quality. They were all daughters of important officials in the court. They all had their own unique looks and were equally matched. Each of them was the perfect candidate to be the prince's legitimate wife.

"Cui Jiuli, the daughter of Minister of Personnel Cui Hancheng, is sixteen years old." The eunuch in charge of ceremonies was the first to shout in a clear voice.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiuli took two steps forward and bowed gracefully, moving forward and backward in a measured manner, with a graceful demeanor and performing the salute naturally and elegantly.

Emperor Zhengtong looked at the girl below the stage seriously. She had a beautiful face like a fairy and an elegant demeanor. Just standing there made one feel happy.

No wonder Concubine Heng begged her to be the legitimate wife on behalf of Xiaoliu. There was a faint light in her eyes. Both the court and the harem needed balance, but Xiaoliu?

"Are you Cui Qing's beloved daughter? What books have you read?"

Emperor Zhengtong opened his mouth. His voice came from above, making it hard to hear clearly. One could only hear the majesty in his words.

"Your Majesty, I have only learned some calligraphy and cannot be considered proficient in it." Jiuli's reply was very formal but graceful.

"Give me a sachet." Emperor Zhengtong waved his hand, signaling the next one.

When Jiuli went out, the talent show was still going on. Emperor Zhengtong already had a plan in mind. Only one of Xiaosi and Xiaoliu could marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, and Xiaosi was just the right person.

After the selection was over, the four concubines each competed for the candidate they liked. The soup and water sent to the Chang'an Palace never stopped, and the eunuchs gained weight visibly.

The imperial edict was issued from Chang'an Palace. On the first day, it was sent to the families of concubines who entered the palace as imperial concubines. On the second day, it was sent to the prince's legitimate wife. On the third day, it was sent to the prince's concubine or maidservant.

Yin Zhen wore his favorite red prince's robe, and did not even go for his favorite horse riding and archery. He sat upright in the prince's mansion, waiting for the imperial edict. His beloved will soon become his legitimate wife, and they will be together every day from now on.

The hope is as great as the disappointment.

Cui Hancheng was on vacation and was testing his children's academic performance at home. At this moment, a servant came running over and whispered a few words to him. Cui Hancheng's face changed slightly.

"Madam, the imperial edict has arrived. Let's receive it." Cui Hancheng patted Madam Cui's arm and walked out.

The people outside were the old eunuchs that Emperor Zhengtong used to serve. They all called him Eunuch Liang, and even the princes were respectful to him.

At this time, Eunuch Liang had a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze.

"Master Cui, please accept the order."

"Your Majesty, I, Cui Hancheng, and my family are here to see you."

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, the edict says,

Cui Jiuli, the daughter of Cui Hancheng, the Minister of Personnel, is a woman of both talent and virtue, a beautiful and graceful girl from a prominent family.

The fourth prince, Yin Zhen, has just come of age. He is both talented and handsome, and is proficient in both civil and military affairs. He is at the right age for marriage.

She was granted marriage to the fourth prince as his principal wife.

They got married in March of the following year.

Admire this. "

Cui Hancheng, who was kneeling below, felt his heart drop into an ice hole. How could it be the fourth prince? He pursed his lips and grabbed Madam Cui.

"Receive the decree? Is Lord Cui so happy that he has gone mad?" Eunuch Liang raised his eyebrows, with a reminder in his tone. Who doesn't know that this is destined for the Sixth Prince? Now this, it must be a mistake.

"I thank the Lord for his grace." Cui Hancheng took the imperial edict with both hands, and returned to normal. He handed over a large purse.

"I still have a few families to go to announce the decree, so I won't disturb Lord Cui any more." After saying this, Eunuch Liang waved his whisk and left.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yin Zhen stood there for a long time with a pale face without moving. Suddenly he sighed. This was also a good result, which was not too bad for him.

"Su Hua, go clean up the main courtyard and notify the concubine." Yin Zhen had a stern face and his emotions could not be seen for a moment.

"Yes." Su Hua bowed and led his people away.

Su Hua's first stop was Qiaoguangyuan, where the concubine lived. He was thinking about his wording all the way.

"Eunuch Su, why are you here? Is there something the prince wants?" Before he even reached the door, Su Hua's maid came up to greet him, her tone intimate yet respectful.

"Zhenzhu, is the concubine free?" Su Hua thought about it and felt that this was something she would have to know sooner or later, and it was always better to know it sooner rather than later.

"Yes," Zhenzhu thought that the prince had some arrangements, so she took Su Hua and walked into the yard.

"Your servant pays his respects to Concubine Zhu." Su Hua stood with his hands hanging down.

"What did the prince ask you to do?" The woman by the window was only 29 years old, with a big belly, and a face like apricot blossoms in full bloom in spring. Her pair of starry eyes made people soften their hearts when they looked at her.

"The prince asked me to tell the concubine that His Majesty has ordered the daughter of the Cui family to be the principal consort." Su Hua said with his head down.

There was a clear sound of a teacup breaking above her head. One could imagine the concubine's anger, but it was all suppressed the next moment.

"What do you want me to do?" Concubine Zhu reacted quickly. There was no precedent in Dajin for a concubine to be promoted to the main wife.

"The concubine knows what's going on." Su Hua said and took his leave.

It was a long time after Su Hua left that Concubine Zhu did not react. She just sat there blankly with a wry smile on her face.

Is this a warning to her not to attack the queen?

"Concubine, what's wrong with you?" Zhenzhu came in and saw the absent-minded concubine, "Do you want me to go and get the palace doctor?"

"Don't go," Concubine Zhu stopped Zhenzhu.

"But the master's face is very pale." Pearl hesitated.

"Just make me a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Concubine Zhu said, touching her belly, "Show me my mother's letter."

"Here." Pearl quickly took the letter from the dressing table.

Concubine Zhu leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the bracelet on her hand. She couldn't help but think of what the prince said last time about promotion. When she thought of what her father and mother said in the letter, she suddenly felt that anyone could be the queen than her sister, and maybe she would be a tolerant one.

Thinking of this, he felt much better. He would have to tell the ladies and concubines tomorrow. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the letter.

Yin Zhen entered Zhuohua Palace in the evening. After having a big quarrel with Concubine Heng, he drank a lot of wine and climbed over the wall of Cui Mansion.
