Chapter 247: Give him concubines, four at a time
The princess saw Xie Yanyan's indifferent expression and knew that this child had a cold personality, and she didn't want to see her feel bad.
Holding her hand, she said, "Yanyan, Xiecheng has your family, but the Zhou family will be your family in the future. You will leave Xiecheng sooner or later. Auntie hopes you will get used to the Zhou family."
She didn't even mention the royal family or anything like that, which was a sign of nostalgia, and she treated her like her own family member.
Xie Yanyan saw that there were only three of them here, so she asked what was in her heart: "Aunt, do you also hope that Zhou Shaoyu will have many wives and concubines?"
She had to ask clearly that if Zhou Shaoyu was not forced to take a concubine in the future, she would still be able to leave Xiecheng and follow Zhou Shaoyu to Kyoto to take over the entire world.
The princess' heart skipped a beat, and she sighed, "Yanyan, which woman wants her man to have three wives and four concubines? I understand. But in the past, Jingchen could have stayed with you for the rest of your life, but now that the prince has become the emperor, his status is naturally different."
Zhou Shaoyu would be the crown prince and would inherit the throne, so how could he have only one wife?
"I don't want so many women around you to compete for your favor and get in the way, but Yanyan, this can't be helped."
"If he wants to be the emperor, he has to balance all relationships. What Zhuge Dan said is the truth. Whether the emperor loves them or not, they have to be brought in, because the former dynasty and the harem are closely related."
"To put it bluntly, I've had a pretty good life, with my son and daughter both growing up successfully. If I can't raise them to adulthood, and if I don't have any other offspring, I'll just have to let others take them away as they please."
The princess felt that what she said were from the bottom of her heart, and she even used Zhou Pi and Zhou Yan as examples.
"Originally, Jingchen was sent to Kyoto by His Majesty. According to Emperor Xuanwen's plan, Jingchen would either be abandoned or killed. The prince and I were upset, and we didn't like Aunt Zheng and her son, or the Zhuge mother and her son."
"But the palace cannot be without an heir, so I will still raise Zhou Pi and Zhou Yan as legitimate sons."
"It's not that I like them, it's because they are also your Majesty's sons. Without Jingchen, they can take over the family."
That is to say, if you have a concubine, you will be guaranteed to have offspring, and outsiders will not be able to take away your family’s mine!
The princess said a lot, and seeing Xie Yanyan remained silent, Zhou Shaoyu's face became even more sullen.
"I know that you two love each other. You may not listen to what I say, but you will understand when you grow up. I am doing this for your own good."
Xie Yanyan: "Princess, do you mean that Zhou Shaoyu must take a concubine?"
The princess thought that a short pain was better than a long one, and Zhou Xiaocheng also told her that such things should be discussed by women.
"Yanyan, if you are unhappy, how about we take in fewer concubines, just two concubines and one or two concubines?"
"From now on, you sisters will serve Jingchen together. Jingchen has feelings for you, and the others are just for show. You and your wife can live however you want."
"Don't worry, no matter who the concubine and the concubine are from, I will stand by your side."
The princess felt that she had already considered Xie Yanyan very much.
In order to move Xie Yanyan, she even held Xie Yanyan's hand, and said with red eyes: "Jingchen has not had an easy life. He left the palace at the age of seven and lived alone in Kyoto. He didn't even have any relatives around him. Only Zhou Jin and the other boys took care of him."
"I don't want to mistreat him any more, Yan'er, just think of me as a mother who wants to compensate her son, okay?"
She was shaking a little as she held Xie Yanyan's hand, and tears were already forming a mist in her eyes.
Xie Yanyan looked at her indifferently, without trying to persuade her or making any promises.
What could she say? She was such a poor mother! Her son was a big shot, so what was wrong with wanting him to enjoy all the happiness?
No problem!
She really didn't understand. When they were in the palace, the princess hated those concubines so much. Now that it was her son's turn, why did she feel that he must have three wives and four concubines?
Why do you think that not having three wives and four concubines is mistreating your son?
Why does she feel that she must be magnanimous and considerate enough to share her man with another woman to be a virtue?
More importantly, why did she think that Xie Yanyan would not be able to raise the children to adulthood?
Xie Yanyan gently pulled his hand out of the princess's.
Looking at Zhou Shaoyu, she did not ask him what he thought.
She felt that it was Zhou Shaoyu who should take the initiative to say something to her at this time.
Zhou Shaoyu said to the princess with a smile: "Thank you for your love, mother. I have no objection. Mother and father can find as many women as you want. My son and the princess are going back to Lingnan soon. I hope you can do me a favor and call those women to the palace so that the princess and I can see what they look like."
The princess saw him smiling and her heart was pounding. Was this naughty child planning to cause trouble?
But no matter whether he was willing to stay in the palace or not, as long as these women were his concubines, he would be favored sooner or later.
Anyway, Zhou Yan can't get any advantage.
The princess said happily, "Okay, mother will arrange for someone to enter the palace today."
"Okay, the county lady and I are still staying at the inn. Once you have made the arrangements, just let us know."
Xie Yanyan didn't say a word from beginning to end, and she didn't say goodbye to the princess when she left.
Zhou Shaoyu chased her desperately and tried to pull her, but she threw him away.
The princess suddenly became very angry when she saw this. She had always thought that Xie Yanyan was a good kid, but it seemed like he was just pretending.
The maid Wusong said, "My lady, I don't think the county lady loves the prince as much as he loves her."
"No, she treats the prince very well." The princess said dissatisfiedly, "This child is not broad-minded enough. Since she also loves the prince, why doesn't she think more about him?"
She was determined to return to the barbaric land of Lingnan. Jingchen felt it was wrong to follow her, and it was wrong not to follow her, which caused a discord between the emperor and Jingchen, father and son.
Jingchen has suffered so much, so what's wrong with finding another woman?
Could it be that Jingchen would only be her from now on? During the menstrual period and pregnancy, would Jingchen be asked to be a monk?
(Using a piece of hot tofu will have the same effect (︶.︶))
I originally thought that she liked Jingchen so much that she would take the initiative to find him some good women, but I didn't expect her to be so cold to me.
At this moment, the princess really felt that Xie Yanyan was not worthy of Jingchen's love. How could a person like Xie Jinrong raise a lady from a noble family?
However, since Jingchen wanted to take a look at the candidates, she immediately made the arrangements.
Jingchen had a very miserable life in the capital for ten years and had never had any contact with a woman. That's why he thinks a woman like Xie Yanyan is good, right?
If he came into contact with other women, the princess didn't believe that he would still want only one woman, and she was afraid that once he started eating meat, he would never be able to eat vegetarian food again.
Women are afraid of comparison!
Men are afraid of becoming enlightened!
"Wusong, go tell those families to arrange for their legitimate daughters to come to the palace. The prince wants to see them."
I have taken a fancy to it. Those who should be put on the jade disc in the next two days will be put on the jade disc. No matter what Xie Yanyan says, it will be useless.
Wusong went to do it immediately.
In less than an hour, Zhang Pinpin, the eldest daughter of the aristocratic Zhang family, Li Tiantian from the former Duke of Xunguo's family, Chen Yuanyuan, the sister of the Grand Marshal, and Shen Yangyang, the granddaughter of the Right Prime Minister Shen, all entered the palace.
The family's governess also came with them.
Four women stood in the center of the palace. They were all ladies from well-off families with excellent manners.
The princess suddenly felt that these were her daughters-in-law, they were all ladies from noble families, and they were the same kind of people.
"Look up," she ordered.
The four women raised their chins slightly, looking delicate and weak, like willows swaying in the wind.
Li Tiantian is as sweet and pretty as her name suggests. When she smiles, she has a pair of faint dimples on her cheeks, which is very pretty.
Chen Yuanyuan, the legendary Daji, has her own enchanting filter and a well-proportioned waist. Even though she is wearing clothes, you can still tell how ferocious she is. Men will definitely have nosebleeds from her.
The air was filled with scholarly air, as if a poem that would be passed down through the ages would come out of his mouth in the next moment.
The princess likes it very much.
