Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Song Wanning looked at the many scrolls on the table and the portraits inside and said calmly, "Now these girls are all good, but unfortunately there are so many of them that we can't tell which one is the best. After all, we can't bring all of them to the Prime Minister to choose. In this case, I am now the Prime Minister's legal wife, so I naturally have to help the Prime Minister to select. Auntie can also help to see which girl is more suitable."

Seeing that Song Wanning had already said this, Wu Junrou just looked at her and smiled faintly, "Good child, now that you have a clear idea in your mind and want to check for the prime minister, then auntie will accompany you to look at these portraits. Pick out who is more suitable for Yi Chen."

After hearing this, Song Wanning smiled faintly. She stood beside Wu Junrou and said with a smile, "Aunt is thinking so much about Yi Chen now. She is just waiting for him to take a concubine into the mansion in the future. I, your niece-in-law, will definitely find a way to persuade the prime minister. After all, nowadays, relatives don't hold grudges overnight."

After hearing this, Wu Junrou also smiled a little, patted Song Wanning's hand, and just laughed softly, "Good child, now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has you to check, I am also relieved."

"Aunt, come and see with your niece-in-law what the Prime Minister likes now." Song Wanning said, lifting the first portrait in front of her and laughing lightly, "This girl is not bad."

Wu Junrou was also looking at the girl in the portrait. She just smiled softly at Song Wanning and said, "Good boy, I think this girl is also very good. Her father is now an official in the Hanlin Academy. Although he is a minor official, he is also from an official family. I have seen this girl in person. No matter what, she is good. She is first-class in appearance and has a good temperament."

Song Wanning said, putting the portrait aside, turned around and smiled faintly at Wu Junrou, "Aunt is right, put it aside first, just wait for me to take a look at the rest, and then we can study it together."

Song Wanning said, putting the portrait of the woman aside, and then took another portrait of a woman and looked at it. She looked at Wu Junrou and said calmly, "Aunt, what do you think of this girl?"

Wu Junrou smiled faintly and said to Song Wanning, "This girl is naturally very good. Another important thing is that she originally loved the prime minister and was willing to be his concubine instead of being his legal wife."

"What you said is true, aunt. But now, this girl's father works in the Ministry of Works. The Prime Minister said at home a few days ago that the officials in the Ministry of Works are in a mess. If I find him a concubine who is from the Ministry of Works, I'm afraid the Prime Minister will be angry when he finds out." Song Wanning said, putting the portrait on another pile.

The two of them picked for a long time, and finally Song Wanning picked out three girls from the portraits and smiled at Wu Junrou, "Now I have to thank my aunt. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be hard to find such pretty girls even with a lantern."

"In that case, I will call those girls over in a few days. If they look good, we can take them into the mansion as soon as possible. I will give the Prime Minister a lot of opportunities." Wu Junrou finally smiled. She felt that Song Wanning could not escape the fate of bringing all the girls into the mansion. After all, this was being done in a big way, and these girls were all good.

While the two were talking, Master Yin came in from outside and passed by the yard where Song Wanning and Wu Junrou were.

When Master Yin saw Song Wanning, Song Wanning naturally came forward to greet him. She held up the portraits of the two girls in her hands and walked forward with a smile, "Uncle, uncle is back now."

Master Yin was a little surprised when he saw Song Wanning's appearance, but he still patiently asked, "What are you doing here, niece-in-law?"

"Uncle, my aunt has been doing a lot for the Prime Minister's Mansion recently. Now she is discussing with me about taking a concubine for the Prime Minister." Song Wanning said, raising the portrait in her hand and speaking to Yin Yichen, "Good uncle, take a look at this portrait now. What do you think? This girl's father is from the Hanlin Academy, and she looks very decent. Uncle is now working in the Hanlin Academy, so why not help your niece-in-law take a good look at this girl's character?"

When Mr. Yin heard Song Wanning say this, his eyes swept over the portrait in Song Wanning's hand.

The girl's name was Yuan Xian, and she looked very pretty. When Master Yin saw the portrait, he was speechless for a moment, as he had never expected that the girl under his command would be so beautiful.

This surprised Master Yin for a moment, but in front of Song Wanning, he still smiled and said, "I think it's good, but since it's for Yi Chen to choose, my niece-in-law should help to check it."

When Song Wanning heard Master Yin say this, she smiled and said, "After all, uncle is older, so he knows better than my niece whether this girl is good or bad. My niece and aunt have agreed to ask all the girls to come to the Yin Mansion in a few days to take a good look at the girl's appearance and whether she is good-looking and can be a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If uncle is free, I wonder if he can come and help take a look?"

Mr. Yin now thinks that even if he cannot marry her, it would be good to take a good look at her and feast his eyes on her.

Master Yin immediately stroked his beard and chuckled at Song Wanning, "Since my nephew said so, I will respectfully obey your order and wait for the day of choosing a concubine. I will definitely come and take a good look at my niece-in-law."

When Song Wanning heard Master Yin's agreement, she smiled and said, "My niece is very grateful to my uncle now."

Wu Junrou, who was standing at the back, heard Song Wanning and Master Yin talking, so she strode forward and pretended to be nothing, saying, "What are you talking about? You don't even want me, the mistress of the house, to listen."

Song Wanning turned her head and looked at Wu Junrou, smiling faintly, "Good aunt, I'm talking to my uncle now and asking him to help me check it."

"What can a man like him know?" The smile on Wu Junrou's lips stiffened a little.

Song Wanning smiled and shook her head, "Aunt, you don't understand. Things in the officialdom are changing rapidly nowadays. The character of these girls is important, but they are the daughters of officials after all. If their fathers are not good enough, they may bring disaster to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Besides, uncle has been in the court for so many years, and I am afraid that he is more meticulous in judging people than girls. That's why I asked uncle to check them."

"Now that Aunt is concerned about the Prime Minister taking a concubine, my niece is also anxious, so I thought it would be good to have one more person to check. But Aunt will not stop Uncle from helping to choose, right?"

Song Wanning smiled faintly, which made Wu Junrou unable to say anything.
