Chapter 162 Selecting Concubines

Yun Hongxiao's eyes dodged, not daring to look Wu Miaozhen in the face.

He had never been so embarrassed in front of his woman.

"Well, I have been thinking about what you said.

Sheng'er is not young anymore. Later, you list all the daughters of the fifth-rank officials in the capital who are eligible for marriage, give one copy to me, and send another copy to the concubine of Emperor Zheng, so that she can choose one as the principal wife. Then I will grant them marriage.

Originally, you can make the decision on this matter, but she is Sheng'er's biological mother after all, so I won't make you hate her."

Yun Hongxiao values ​​both sons. At present, he does not have many offspring, only four sons, and he does not want to expand the harem. It is not good to have too many children, and the competition for the throne is very fierce.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and he does not want any of them to be in trouble.

"Your concubine obeys your order." Wu Miaozhen heard it and had a clear idea in her heart.

"Zheng'er has studied hard and is neither arrogant nor impatient. He is a good candidate. Qing'er is learning martial arts from Lord Feng and is even more diligent. I didn't expect that at such a young age, he could actually defeat a Loulan warrior." Yun Hongxiao smiled at Yun Ranqing and reached out to touch his head.

"Father, I am still far behind the second son of Feng." Yun Ranqing replied modestly.

"How old are you? When you reach his age, you may be more powerful than him. Then I will give you some soldiers and let you become a general. How about that?" Yun Hongxiao praised lovingly.

"Thank you, father."

"Okay, go back to the palace. You have to go to class tomorrow, so go to bed early." Yun Hongxiao hurried him away.

Yun Ranqing glanced at Wu Miaozhen, and when she nodded, he left.

Yun Hongxiao was invited by the empress, so of course he would not leave.

But the empress was always polite to him, lacking a bit of warmth.

Yun Hongxiao had to shamelessly mend the relationship between the two.

"Miaozhen, before I ascended the throne, there were only the two of us in the prince's mansion. We were newly married at that time, and we lived a very happy time. I don't know since when, my heart was tied up by too many things and I ignored you, but my empress has always been generous and has always followed me silently. You have worked hard all these years."

That night, Yun Hongxiao recalled the good and bad times in the empress's palace, hoping to attract the empress to resonate with him.

Women are easily moved, and it is rare for Wu Miaozhen to see a generation of monarchs lower themselves to say these to her.

Yun Hongxiao successfully stayed in Fengqi Palace, and today was not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month.

The next day, Wu Miaozhen began to discuss with Minghua, the head of her palace, and sorted out the beauties from various families.

This news soon reached Zheng He.

But she didn't know the purpose of the queen's move. She thought that the emperor did not agree with the queen's request for the eldest prince to marry the third daughter of the Chen family, and chose another girl instead.

But she just wanted to ruin this marriage. If the emperor really gave the third daughter of the Chen family to her son as a concubine or even a principal wife, she would not be willing.

The Chen family has no military power now, and it is unknown whether it will be possible to rise again in the future.

The Chen family lost two cities, and although they were taken back by Prince Lu, the status of the Chen family in the emperor's heart could not be the same as before.

Marrying a girl from such a family would not be of any help, and they would have to rely on them for support in the future.

No, she had to quickly choose a principal wife for the prince and report it to the emperor.

Zheng He also began to look for beauties in the capital in her own palace.

Two days later, the queen handed the emperor a list, which clearly stated their respective characteristics, age, family background, and relatives in the capital.

The emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs, and he certainly didn't know as well as the queen about the beauties from various families. All he had to consider was the relationship in the court. Although he knew that the former court and the harem were inseparable, the main focus was still on the former court.

When the same information was sent to Zheng He, she was dumbfounded. What did it mean?

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother asked you to choose a suitable concubine for His Royal Highness the Second Prince to be his principal wife. The emperor plans to arrange a marriage for the two princes." Minghua explained.

When she finished reading the information, she was shocked. She didn't expect that the queen knew the noble ladies in the capital so well.

And she spent most of her thoughts on how to seduce the emperor.

As expected, she is the daughter of the prime minister.

With this information, she called Yun Ransheng that afternoon, and the mother and son chose together.

"Mother, according to the rules, I can marry a principal wife and two concubines, right?" Yun Ransheng looked at the lists with shining eyes.

"Yes. Why?"

"Can I marry them at the same time?"

"Of course you can, but this will hurt the principal wife's heart, which may affect the relationship between husband and wife in the future, and it will also make your in-laws dissatisfied with you. It is better to marry a concubine after three months."

"Oh! Then do as you say." He finally traveled through time and space once, and he can have three wives and four concubines openly. How could he let it go.

I really hate that I am only sixteen years old now, and my mother is so strict.

Zheng He glanced at his son.

Is his son a lecher?

"My son, women are just tools for you to get to the top. You can't be greedy or use their affections. They just need to give birth to your children, and you have to pay attention to other things."

"Yes, I understand." Yun Ransheng replied respectfully. But Zheng He certainly couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.

He thought he was handsome, but couldn't he make every woman fall in love with him, or even come to him on their own initiative?

Thinking of the several online novels I read before, those male protagonists, which one of them didn't have a harem full of beautiful women, and no matter how strong the backstage was, they couldn't leave the male protagonist.

Now he is a prince. If he doesn't make good use of this identity, wouldn't it be a waste of his time travel?

If he can reach the top in the future, it will be even better, and he can choose any woman in the world.

No, he wants to dominate the entire continent, and then he can choose any woman in the world.

But he is not stupid, and he knows that everything must be done step by step.

The mother and son studied for three days before choosing the candidate.

Yun Ransheng also found excuses to leave the palace several times, and secretly looked at the three women he chose, and was very satisfied.

In the palace, the mother and son of the Zheng Emperor were in full swing in selecting concubines, while Feng Yuanhan and Yu Changfang brought secret guards to stare at the martial arts second place named Liao Yuqiong all day without letting up.

But nothing was found, and that guy was very honest.

It was not until the beginning of November that Yun Xinglu found an excuse to transfer him from his elite battalion to the 50,000-soldier barracks that the emperor had given him when he went to war, and also assigned him a captain.

The captain had his own room. He

was out of the strict control of Prince Lu.

He moved.

At midnight on a dark and windy night, Liao Yuqiong left the barracks.

As soon as he came out, he was seen by the secret guards, who poked Feng Yuanhan.

Feng Yuanhan was quick-witted and followed him immediately.

The secret guards were not as good at light work as him, and they couldn't keep up after a while.

Liao Yuqiong came to the wall of the imperial city, but it was too high for him to climb up. A flying tiger claw flew out. He

quietly entered the city.

Feng Yuanhan followed all the way.

The man entered the backyard of a shop.

When he came out again, he had changed out of his military uniform. The color of the uniform was brighter.

Then he walked through several alleys and entered the northern part of the city.

He was very alert, and looked behind him from time to time to see if anyone was following him.

It was obvious that he was a strictly trained secret guard.

Feng Yuanhan did not dare to follow too closely.

Looking at the direction he was heading, he had guessed Liao Yuqiong's destination.
