Chapter 261 Concubine
Luo Qinghan suppressed his annoyance and said seriously, "It is my son's blessing to marry them, but the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and the Taoist Tianyi have calculated that my son and they are not compatible, so I am afraid it will not be a good match."
"You don't have to worry about this. After all, they are just concubines. There is no need to pay too much attention to the details."
The emperor's attitude was very clear. He was only announcing the decision unilaterally and did not intend to seek the prince's opinion.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I already have three concubines. If Jing Sanniang and Duan Wuniang are taken into the East Palace, only one of them can be chosen as a concubine."
According to the ancestral system of the Dasheng Dynasty, the Crown Prince could have a maximum of four concubines in the Eastern Palace, a maximum of eight Liangdi, twelve Liangyuan, and there was no limit to the number of beauties in the Imperial Court.
The emperor was very surprised: "I remember that there were only two concubines in the East Palace. When did the third concubine appear?"
"When I was sick, it was Xiao Liang Di who took care of me. She served me very well. As a reward, I promoted her to concubine yesterday. I have informed the Empress Dowager of this matter, and she agreed."
Since the empress dowager has already agreed, even if the emperor feels a little uncomfortable, he can't say anything more.
"Then we will make Jing Sanniang the concubine and Duan Wuniang the concubine."
Luo Qinghan bowed and responded: "I obey your order."
When he walked out of the council hall, there was still no change in expression on his face, and he looked no different from usual.
Even Eunuch Chang, who had served him for many years, could not tell that there was anything wrong with him at this moment.
Eunuch Chang said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Queen has just sent someone to talk to you. Please go to the Pepper Room."
Luo Qinghan had obviously thought of something. The feeling of disgust in his heart kept surging, making him feel almost nauseous.
But he still said nothing and went to the Pepper Palace quietly.
…
Yesterday afternoon, Queen Qin summoned Madam Qin.
After discussion, both parties decided to let Qin Shiniang marry into the Eastern Palace. Even if she could not become the Crown Princess, she could temporarily be a concubine.
As for the problem of eight characters, it is actually very easy to solve. We just need to ask the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to change the calculation results.
Upon learning that the prince had arrived, Queen Qin let him in.
Queen Qin was as cold as ever. She neither exchanged pleasantries nor beat around the bush. She just spoke.
"I have already discussed this with the Qin family. It doesn't matter if you don't marry a crown princess for now. Let Qin Shi Niang be a concubine first, and then promote her to crown princess in three years."
Luo Qinghan had already anticipated this result.
He said calmly, "Mother is a step too late. The four concubines in the Eastern Palace are already taken. If Qin Shi Niang wants to marry into the Eastern Palace, I can only give her the title of Liang Di at best."
Queen Qin frowned: "I remember you only had two concubines, when did it become four?"
"Yesterday, I promoted Xiao Liangdi to concubine. Just now, father asked me to make Jing Taifu's daughter a concubine. Although the official document has not been issued yet, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. I hope mother will forgive me."
Queen Qin was very dissatisfied: "Why did you promote Xiao Liangdi to concubine?"
Then she asked suspiciously, "Did you deliberately promote Xiao Liangdi to concubine at this time?"
Luo Qinghan: "You worry too much, mother. Concubine Xiao took good care of me when I was sick. This is the reward she deserves. I have already reported this to my grandmother, and she has personally agreed to it."
Hearing this, Queen Qin felt even worse.
