Chu Feng felt very good seeing his brothers caring about him.
Although his mother resented him for taking care of his grandfather's family, which made him sad, he was no longer so sad after he had five younger brothers.
His five younger brothers often came to the palace to accompany him, or he often left the palace to visit his younger brothers at the Regent's Palace.
Now the emperor's aunt has four more brothers and sisters, but he still likes these five brothers the most. After all, they have been with him for a long time.
Chu Feng also began to worry about his marriage and needed to carefully examine who was a suitable candidate for queen.
The granddaughter of the Grand Tutor has reached the marriageable age, but Chu Feng does not like her very much.
"Although the Grand Tutor is good and his granddaughter is also good, I don't like her." Chu Feng said seriously to Chu Yunyi.
He lost his father at a young age, and to him, Chu Yunyi, his uncle who was nineteen years older than him, was like his father.
Now that the topic of getting married came up, Chu Feng wanted to talk to Chu Yunyi about it.
Because he loves Chu Yunyi, he also loves his wife and his dog. He regards Chu Yunyi as his father, and Wushuang, the imperial aunt, also has some motherly feelings in his eyes.
But for Chu Feng, his biological mother was still the Queen Mother in the palace, and he did not treat Wushuang as just a mother.
But even so, he was willing to tell them about his request to get married.
"If you don't like the Grand Tutor's granddaughter to be the queen, then make her a concubine?" Chu Yunyi asked calmly while pouring tea.
Chu Feng took the tea poured by the emperor's uncle and frowned slightly, "Is it not good for me?"
Chu Feng had no intention of marrying only the queen and not taking concubines.
As an emperor, he certainly couldn't be so willful as to have only a wife and no concubines like his uncle. There were countless people watching over the emperor's harem.
Although his aunt was known as the "Goddess of Fertility", he was not particularly worried that the Queen would not be able to give birth to a son and that he would have no heir.
But he is not the kind of person who only likes one person.
Chu Feng knew himself very well. If he only married one, he would definitely regret it in the future.
Since he can't spend his whole life with just one person, he shouldn't give anyone such hope from the beginning.
"Although the Grand Tutor's granddaughter is very outstanding, your Majesty's feelings are more important. If you don't want to make her the queen, then there's no need." Chu Yunyi said.
"You are the emperor. You have the absolute right to speak on matters like marrying a wife and taking concubines." Chu Yunyi said, "Besides, the women in the world are not the only ones from the Taifu family who are the most outstanding."
Chu Feng nodded to show that he understood.
The granddaughter of the Grand Tutor is indeed very outstanding. She is well-educated, dignified and virtuous. From her, we can see that she is indeed a very suitable person to be the queen.
But Chu Feng didn't like her appearance. This girl's appearance could only be described as pretty, not absolutely beautiful.
Chu Feng is still a young man after all, a man, and he likes beautiful women.
So he wanted to marry a beautiful wife who could be the queen.
"Before the Queen enters the palace, I don't want other women to enter first. This is my respect for the Queen." Chu Feng said.
"It's up to the Emperor to decide."
Chu Feng was very satisfied with Chu Yunyi's attitude. He chatted with his uncle for a while, looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and then returned to the palace.
…
The news that the emperor was going to choose a queen soon reached the powerful people in the capital. They originally thought that the granddaughter of the Taifu family was famous and would definitely be crowned queen, but the result surprised everyone.
"The daughter of the Shen family is so virtuous and kind, she has the demeanor of a mother of a country. Why didn't the emperor make her the queen?"
"The girl from the Shen family also wanted to enter the palace, but the emperor only made her a virtuous concubine?"
"The Shen family's daughter is so outstanding, yet she was only given the title of Consort Xian. So whose daughter is the Empress?"
The girl from the Shen family is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor.
She almost fainted after receiving the news that she was to be named the virtuous concubine.
"How could it be?" Miss Shen looked at the imperial edict and almost collapsed.
How could this happen?
Why can't she be queen?
Over the years, she has studied seriously and diligently how to be a good queen and a good wife to the emperor.
But reality dealt her a blow. She failed to become the queen?
Concubine Xian...
The virtuous concubine is not even the leader of the four concubines!
“Grandfather…” Miss Shen looked at Master Shen in disbelief. She wanted to know why.
She studied so hard to be a good queen, why did this happen?
Although Grand Tutor Shen was disappointed that his granddaughter didn't become the queen, he remained calm and looked at her and said, "The emperor never said that he wanted you to be the queen, so you don't have to force it."
Miss Shen pursed her lips unwillingly, "Why? What is it about your granddaughter that makes your majesty dissatisfied? If the queen is not the granddaughter, who is?"
Grand Tutor Shen looked at the imperial edict in his hand, then looked at his granddaughter and said, "The daughter of Duke Dingguo, Xu."
"Duke Dingguo's Mansion...Xu...Yashu?" Miss Shen was incredulous.
"Why?"
Although Xu Yashu is very outstanding, she is still a long way behind her. Why did she become the queen?
Grand Tutor Shen looked at his granddaughter's face, which was more delicate than beautiful, and sighed, "Because the girl from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is so beautiful, she can be called the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Of course, the title of "the most beautiful woman in the capital" only applies to unmarried girls. If married women are included, the Regent Princess is the undisputed number one, without a doubt.
Miss Shen couldn't believe what she heard, "How could the emperor be so superficial?"
