Chapter 57 Wait, give me the wreath? That's too much.
The emperor hesitated.
Daughters are important, face is important, but the country and the people should be more important.
Half an hour later, the emperor sent Yuan Ruan back to Kunning Palace. After Yuan Ruan fell asleep, the emperor found the queen and asked, "Queen, can your second daughter hear Xiao Jiu's voice?"
The queen propped her chin up lazily, "She can. The princes and princesses under the age of ten in the palace cannot hear the inner voice. Except for two people over the age of ten, everyone else can hear the inner voice... I have already issued a gag order to these people. As for the concubines, there are still many little princesses who have not seen them, so I can't count them for now."
Originally, the queen wanted to say that the two princes and princesses who were unable to hear their true thoughts seemed to have expressed ill will towards the young imperial teacher, but because there was not enough evidence, she swallowed the words back.
The emperor held the queen's hand and said, "You have always been my good wife and helper. Thank you for your hard work. In addition, I have something I want to discuss with the queen."
Then, the emperor recounted what happened in court today, especially the fact that the court officials wanted to use the banquet for selecting a prince consort to trigger the mission of national destiny.
The queen frowned slightly. Let the small country participate in the second princess's selection of a husband? The officials of the Great Xia Dynasty were eavesdropping next door? What about her daughter's privacy?
"Your Majesty, I have objections." Involving the lifelong event of her own daughter, the queen could not help but sit up straight, "Even though the little imperial teacher has boundless magical powers, she is only nine months old. Once she starts eating melons, she will not distinguish between good and bad..." Social death.
Wait... this is an indiscriminate revelation.
The queen suddenly thought of a key point: the most fearful thing when choosing a son-in-law is to choose a bad person.
But which rotten person in Daxia could escape the eyes of the divine weapon system? Isn't this more comprehensive and reliable than sending people to investigate? Most importantly, the little imperial teacher is kind-hearted and is a banished immortal who has not been polluted by worldly rules. She will only participate in it for the good of her daughter, and will not choose a son-in-law for any political purpose, which will make her daughter suffer.
Thinking of this, the queen's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she changed her tone: "Your Majesty is wise, I think it would be better to let the little imperial teacher choose a prince consort for the second princess!"
This time it was the emperor's pupils that trembled.
"What?" The Queen's attitude changed so quickly that the Emperor even suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
After a while, the emperor said, "Does the queen mean to let Xiao Jiu directly choose a consort for Xiao Er? Without going through me?"
The Queen nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor almost laughed out of anger: "Ridiculous?! Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, where does the queen put me?"
The Queen lay back lazily and said, "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are true, but there is also the saying that a match made in heaven is a good match. Xiaojiu is the national destiny of Daxia, she is the heaven of Daxia, and her marriage to Xiaoer is equivalent to heaven's marriage to Xiaoer. It's not like..." Your Majesty has a face? !
Of course, the Queen did not say this out loud because she was afraid of death, but the Emperor had already understood the Queen's hidden meaning and his face was full of speechlessness.
Emperor: "Empress, are you really determined to let Xiao Jiu decide Xiao Er's fate?"
The queen stood up and massaged the emperor's shoulders, yawning, "Your Majesty, I believe your daughter will understand my good intentions."
The emperor thought for a while, and when he was about to discuss something with the empress, he found that the empress had fallen asleep again.
emperor:……
Finally he agreed.
…
Yuan Ruan didn't know that there was a debate about her in the Da Xia court.
She had been living happily in the palace for some time, and was approaching her eleventh month.
That day, when she woke up early in the morning, she was held and hugged by the Queen and the Second Princess. Then, the Second Princess got there first and carried her into the sedan chair.
Yuan Ruan was still a little sleepy when she saw the Second Princess stealthily give her a pair of extremely precious jade bracelets. She then put her hands together and bowed, saying in a low voice, "Please, Little Imperial Master, bless me and help me choose a person I like! Please!"
Yuanruan:?
Seeing how pious he was, she felt for the first time that the jade bracelet was not easy to accept! He was unworthy of the title of Little Imperial Master!
However, what Yuan Ruan did not expect was that the second princess's abrupt behavior was just an appetizer.
After getting off the carriage, Yuan Ruan was stunned by the Queen's actions and words.
The queen gave her a wreath and also bowed with her hands clasped together: "I hope to be blessed by the little imperial teacher and choose a suitable husband for my second daughter."
After that, she said to the maid holding the little princess, "Give this wreath to whoever the little princess wants to give it to! You must not give it to the wrong person, because this is your future husband."
The palace maids who couldn't hear the inner voice were all confused. What? Did I hear it right? Is choosing a prince consort such a joke?
The maid took the wreath hesitantly and couldn't help but say something extra: "Your Majesty, do you mean... I will give it to whoever the little princess gives it to? Also, do you need to see who else?"
The maid was ready to cheat secretly.
However, the queen shook her head and said calmly: "Jiu'er will make all the decisions. You don't need to listen to anyone except Jiu'er."
The maid was trembling with fear. Is that true, Madam? She was not being used as a pawn and was caught up in some sinister palace struggle.
Yuanruan was also confused:?
No! Are you serious, Queen?
Are you really just letting me throw everything away? Are you just going to hand over the second half of the Princess's life to me so carelessly?!
She couldn't help but complain to the system:
[A wreath, I can just throw it? Oh my god, what if the maid misunderstands my intention and accidentally throws it to the eunuch? ]
The second princess suddenly became a little uneasy, and she quickly looked at the queen.
The corner of the queen's eye twitched, and then she immediately chose a palace maid who was the most discerning and ranked first in the pot-tossing game to replace the palace maid who had previously held the wreath.
System: [Yes, Ah Ruan, the ancients were really superstitious! They believed in you just because you were the national teacher. Fortunately, they believed in you! You are the real deal! You are reliable!]
The queen nodded slightly when she heard this. She thought so too.
At this time, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Yu Garden.
Before I even walked in, I could hear some string music and a deep, magnetic male voice.
Yuanruan, who was not voice-controlled, was awakened by the voice. She instantly raised her head and looked around.
The Queen noticed that as Yuanruan became more energetic, the bushes behind the Yu Garden seemed to shake, and the rockery behind the bridge seemed to move.
The corner of her mouth twitched. It was hard for these ministers to find such a remote hiding place in Yu Garden.
At this time, the three of them walked around the corridor and went in.
There were about thirty or forty handsome men sitting or standing inside.
When they saw the Queen, the Princess, and Yuan Ruan coming in, they all stood up and saluted gracefully.
After they stood up again, Yuan Ruan took a closer look. What good guys were, each of them had a tall figure, at least 1.80 meters tall. At first glance, each of them had good facial features, and could even be called handsome in his own unique way.
Yuan Ruan: [Wow. Picking one out of so many, I'm nervous! I'm anxious! I have to choose carefully. Tonger, bring melons! All melons.]
System: [Okay!]
The Queen and the Second Princess looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The young master and the courtiers who could hear the inner voice were tense and waited in a serious manner: they wanted the young imperial master to take a liking to them, but they were also afraid that the young imperial master would reveal their secrets. They were full of confusion.
