Hearing the Crown Princess talk about the candidates, the Crown Prince also vaguely guessed something, and asked calmly: "Oh? You have two favorite candidates, you might as well tell them."
The Crown Princess immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Your Highness is familiar with these two girls. One is Jiang Rongyue, the third lady of the British Duke's family, and the other is Su Ying, my niece from my mother's family."
"The two of them and Ah Yao grew up together. They are childhood sweethearts and are familiar with each other's temperaments. We also know the two of them very well. No matter which one we marry as our daughter-in-law, we will be happy with each other."
"Rongyue has a sweet, naive and cute personality, and is very lovable. Ying'er is well-educated, talented and beautiful, and is a good match for Ah Yao. To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have been hesitant and don't know which one to choose!"
The prince's brows widened and he muttered for a moment: "We have watched Rongyue and Ying'er grow up, and they are both good girls with both ability and political integrity. It is indeed a difficult problem to choose who to be your daughter-in-law."
"Let's do this! Anyway, we still have some time to slowly observe the character of the two of them. Also, let's talk to Ah Yao a little bit and see which one Ah Yao likes more."
The Crown Princess immediately smiled and said: "In a few days, it will be Ying'er's hairpin ceremony. I will be the guest of honor for Ying'er then, why not let Ah Yao follow me back to Su's house."
He also said that he was undecided because he clearly preferred his niece.
The prince did not expose the princess's intention, and simply said: "That's fine. In two months, Rong Yue's hairpin ceremony will arrive. Then remember to take Ah Yao to the British government."
The Crown Princess smiled, then quickly returned to normal, and agreed with a smile.
…
The Royal Palace, inside Lingbo Hall.
"Xinyun, go to Zichen Palace and ask if Imperial Physician Wei is free. If he is free, please ask him to come to Lingbo Palace."
A gentle and melodious female voice sounded in the side hall of Lingbo Hall.
The woman who spoke was tall and slender, wearing a light blue palace dress, and was doing needlework with her head lowered. The voice is neither fast nor slow, gentle and sweet. When he spoke, he raised his head.
She has slender eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, a straight nose and red lips, her skin is as fair and delicate as fine porcelain, and her black hair is like clouds.
Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color.
What a beauty that will captivate the whole country!
This beauty in palace attire has a calm expression, no arrogance, and speaks in a soft voice.
The maid on the side, Xinyun, hurriedly took the order: "Yes, I will go right away."
After Xinyun left, the beauty in palace clothes lowered her head again and carefully finished the sewing in her hands. Then he looked at it carefully for a moment, and what he saw before his eyes was a pair of men's cloth shoes. The embroidery work is exquisite and the soles are very thick.
The beauty in palace clothes pursed her lips and smiled.
At this moment, Xinyun came back and reported with a smile: "Empress, Imperial Physician Wei happened to have nothing to do and has already arrived. He is waiting outside the hall at this time."
The beauty's eyes lit up and she stood up: "Hurry up and ask Dr. Wei to come in."
After a while, Imperial Physician Wei entered the side hall.
When I went to the Prince's Mansion in the morning, I was still dressed in civilian clothes. After returning to the palace, I naturally had to change into the official uniform of the Imperial Medical Office. The official uniforms of the Zhou Dynasty were different in color according to their rank. Those of the third rank and above wear black official uniforms, and those below the third rank wear dark green official uniforms. This color is indeed stable, but it is not really good-looking. If someone with darker skin puts it on, his face will look green.
Doctor Wei was an exception. He has a slender figure, fair skin, and a handsome face. He is wearing a dark green official uniform and is unexpectedly handsome.
"Wei Chen, Wei Yan, has met Empress Jieyu." Doctor Wei bowed respectfully.
The beauty in palace clothes said angrily: "There are no outsiders here, why are you doing these false courtesy? Come here quickly, sit down and talk." Her tone was friendly and casual.
Imperial Physician Wei stood up straight, with a relaxed smile on his face: "The etiquette cannot be discarded."
"What etiquette cannot be discarded." The beauty in palace clothes simply tugged on his sleeves: "Blood relations are more important than any etiquette. You are my biological brother. Why should I pay so much attention to my brother when I see him?"
This beauty in palace attire is none other than Wei Jieyu, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the palace. She is also the eldest sister of Imperial Physician Wei.
Imperial Physician Wei was indifferent and polite to others, as if he was wearing a perfect mask, unable to tell his emotions, anger, love and hate. When he arrived at Lingbo Hall, he relaxed completely, with a slight smile in his eyes.
"Ayan, I have made a pair of shoes for you these days. Please try them on quickly." Like a child, Wei Jieyu happily showed the newly made cloth shoes to Dr. Wei.
It has been fourteen years since Wei Jieyu entered the palace at the age of sixteen.
Live the Qi and nourish the body.
After living in the most luxurious palace in the world for more than ten years, Wei Jieyu has already cultivated a wealthy and noble demeanor, and she is completely different from the girl who was born in the common people and was full of fear, nervousness and timidity.
However, one thing remains the same. She is still the eldest sister who loves him the most, and she has loved him as much as before.
Looking at that familiar gentle smile, Imperial Doctor Wei felt warm in his heart. While taking the cloth shoes, he smiled and said: "My clothes and shoes are enough, so don't worry about me. Making shoes is not enough." It’s strenuous and hurts your eyes, so don’t do it again.”
Wei Jieyu smiled nonchalantly and said: "I have been bored all day long, and I don't like playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so doing some needlework is just right to pass the time."
The life of the concubines in the palace is far less exciting than outsiders imagine. Except for one or two busy days every month when I go to bed, the rest of the long time is lonely and unbearable.
Wei Jieyu was a quiet person by nature. Apart from greeting Empress Xu every day, she almost never left the Lingbo Palace and rarely interacted with other concubines. Fortunately, there is Princess Anya at my knees, otherwise it would have been even more difficult.
Wei Jieyu urged again: "Try it now."
Imperial Doctor Wei couldn't resist Wei Jieyu, so he had to put on brand new cloth shoes, walked a few steps, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's craftsmanship is still so good. Wearing shoes made by others is not as comfortable as shoes made by yourself."
Two simple words made Wei Jieyu smile: "As long as it's appropriate."
After she changed into her official boots again, Wei Jieyu carefully wrapped the cloth shoes in blue cloth and put them in the hand of Imperial Doctor Wei: "I'll take them later when I leave."
Doctor Wei smiled and hummed.
Wei Jieyu looked at her younger brother, who had a handsome face and was full of energy, and felt proud in her heart.
Thinking that he had not married yet, Wei Jieyu couldn't help but sigh, and brought up the topic that she had brought up every time she saw Wei Yan in the past few years: "Ayan, when are you going to get married? You are already twenty-four. , are we still going to waste time like this?” (To be continued)
