The next day, I heard that Beichen Shaoyuan made a performance and sent Xiao Chuyi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to inspect the Jiangdong Military Region. According to his authoritarian domineering, it is not inappropriate for outsiders to perform such a beheading first.
Beichen Tianheng was not in a dilemma either, and he didn't care if he approved it. Now his attention has to be on another matter, choosing a concubine.
To put it bluntly, it is to ask for a wife, but it is not for ordinary people to ask for a wife. Royal marriage is a sex transaction in the final analysis. Take the women to be drafted this time as an example, the first class is naturally the daughter of the royal family, such as Princess Weiyang, because there are no women of the right age in the Nanmen and Xiqi tribes, she is not only the only woman from the Dongling family to run for election. , and is the only authentic royal family, whose status is unparalleled; the second-class is the daughter of an aristocratic family, such as the four great princes, whose power should not be underestimated; the third-class is the family of court officials and daughters, with beautiful appearance can also participate.
In order to consolidate power, it is common for royal families to marry each other. For example, Xiao Zhijie, the first-class Duke of Pingguo in Guanxi Prefecture, married Princess Qionghua Donglingyan as his wife. The family power behind it is the major thing that Beichen Tianheng needs to consider.
In recent years, the royal family has withered away, and several major side branches have been bleak. The men of the Dongling family have not done much. Although women are famous for their beauty, they have almost become instruments of intermarriage between different ethnic groups. There is no substantive contact, just maintaining the superficial beauty of the ancient royal family;
However, after all, they have a solid foundation and a vast fief. Even the most unbearable Xiqi clan still has a princess of Changle, Xiqi Shunhuang, known as the "old ancestor". Her age is no longer known, but she once The legend of Beichen Qiyao, the father of Beichen Shaoyuan, who created the prosperity of the Xi Kingdom is still talked about by the people of Xi Kingdom.
Moreover, the four great princes are the elders of the two dynasties, with heavy troops in hand to divide the four borders, and no one is the master that Beichen Tianheng can't offend. However, on the contrary, if this matter is not handled well, the political situation will be turbulent, and the throne will be unstable, but if it is handled well, he will be able to get more support and consolidate the prosperity of his ancestors.
Therefore, choosing a concubine, whether it is big or small, is not a trivial matter.
Therefore, Beichen Tianheng didn't dare to take it lightly, and ordered the palace to carefully entertain beautiful girls from all over the world. Therefore, the city of Ziwei was very lively and busy with the selection of concubines everywhere.
We officials also felt a lot more relaxed. Without our attention, government affairs were idle, and several major cases were temporarily adjourned.
After the court, everyone looked relaxed and happy that the emperor was about to get married. However, I noticed that Pan Jie was uncharacteristically and seemed to be very preoccupied.
"Pan Butterfly!" I slapped him on the shoulder from behind.
Pan Jie was taken aback and finally came back to his senses. When he saw it was me, he immediately showed a mesmerizing smile, which made me feel good too.
"Pan Butterfly, the emperor's wedding is imminent, why don't you seem happy at all?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Pan Jie hurriedly glared at me, "I'm bothering me!"
"Do you have something to worry about?" I deliberately glanced at him and said with all my heart, "Tell me, which girl did Pan Butterfly reject? Let this handsome guy capture it for you!"
"Yueyue! You're still making fun of me!" Pan Jie didn't even joke with me, and said angrily, "I'm bothering you to visit Jiangdong, why didn't you bring me with you!"
I was dumbfounded, this butterfly was still thinking of going to the army, but Pan Shi, the first-class Duke Wei of Jiangdong House, was not his father!
"You can take a leave of absence to go home to visit relatives, or you can go to see Commander Xiao Chu!" I deliberately lied to him on a whim.
"Yes!" I didn't expect that Pan Jie really patted his head and grinned happily, "Why didn't I think of it!"
The action-oriented man thought about it and set off, saying that he ran out early, but before he took two steps, he turned back and shouted at me as if he had thought of something.
"Yueyue! You look more like a man with a scar on your face!"
"Dead butterfly!"
You made fun of me! I kicked the stone on the ground hard, hit him in the buttocks, the pain made him jump high, and I laughed out loud.
We provoked the officials passing by on the way to look sideways at us, but leave him alone.
I was laughing happily when a dark shadow stood beside me.
"Book line." Beichen Shaoyuan called me in a deep voice, a little displeased between his brows.
"Your Highness?" I hurriedly restrained my smile and respectfully obeyed his instructions.
"Today, the mother-in-law invited Xiu Nv, and you will also go with me."
Beichen Shaoyuan threw down these words domineeringly, and left with his hands behind his back, dressed in white and gold satin, which was particularly conspicuous among the officials in purple.
Watching his back walk away, I remembered and rushed after him.
Shun Mi's banquet for Xiu Nv is their royal business, so why am I going to join in the fun! And it's Shun Mi, that horrible old beauty! After catching up with him, I panted and asked, "My lord, did you make a mistake? What am I going to do!"
"Naturally there is a reason for you to go!" Beichen Shaoyuan said as a matter of course.
"Can you... not go..." I muttered.
"This king asks you to go, you have to go!" He raised his eyebrows and walked away.
Watching him walk away, I gritted my teeth, you're ruthless, I'm sure I won't dare to turn my face.
Go, go, whoever is afraid!
