In March of Yangchun, when hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, the Empress called girls and unmarried teenagers from various families into the palace to participate in the Flower Banquet, and Wen Qing was among them.
It's called the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but it's actually a blind date banquet. Today, there is no emphasis on female sex, and the draft has been suspended for many years, and unmarried women from all families can marry freely. Although this era is not too serious about the defense of men and women, it also pays attention to different seats for men and women at the age of seven. These sons and daughters can't see each other on weekdays, and they don't want to be blindly married by their parents, so they naturally want to choose the one they like. So the Empress's Hundred Flowers Banquet provided them with such an opportunity.
Wen Qing was dragged by Zhao Wan to dress up, "You are fifteen years old this year, and almost all the girls who are your age are engaged. Our family doesn't like Lizao either. Mother doesn't force you, you pick the one you like, and let your uncle marry you whoever you like... "
Wen Qing nodded indifferently.
Seeing that she was not taking it seriously, Zhao Wan couldn't help but get angry, "Mother told you, you have to choose one today, if you don't choose, mother will directly choose one with your father!"
"Oh, mother, remember to choose a prettier one."
Zhao Wan: "..."
She really believes it now, her daughter doesn't care about getting married at all!
But prettier...
The flowers in the palace have always been meticulously cared for by artisans. The rare and rare plants are competing for beauty, just like the beautiful ladies in this palace.
It was the first time for Jiang Shu to enter the palace, and she was surprised by everything. This appearance was a bit contemptuous in the eyes of others. Well-educated, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he doesn't show it on his face, and those who are bitter and mean can't help but mock.
"Country bumpkin, I don't know much!"
"Look at her appearance, ordinary flowers and plants are so rare!"
"Clothes and make-up are not the current popular style, I don't know how many years ago!"
"How could the Hundred Flowers Banquet let such a person in? There is a shabby smell from far away!"
…
It took Jiang Shu a long time to realize that he was talking about her, so she frowned. It's just that she was new here and didn't know the backgrounds of these people, so she simply turned around and left without knowing the background of these people.
Fortunately, those people insisted on their status as noble girls, so they couldn't do anything to catch up with them and make sarcastic moves.
Jiang Shu managed to keep her ears clean, and accidentally bumped into someone. The breath on the opponent's body was very clean, and there was a pleasant fragrance of bamboo leaves. Jiang Shu rubbed her sore nose and looked up.
Moshang is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
For no reason, Jiang Shu thought of this sentence.
The young man in white smiled, "Girl, are you alright?"
The voice was so nice, Jiang Shu blushed, and quickly said, "I'm fine, I'm sorry, I didn't see this person just now..."
This scene happened to catch Wen Qing's eyes. What a coincidence, it was the first meeting between the heroine and the loyal male partner.
In the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the original book, many things happened, the meeting between the heroine and the male partner is one of them. The cannon fodder noble ladies sarcasm the heroine, and the second thing is to lose their reputation by the hero's design. The queen had a sudden heart attack, and the heroine bought medicine from Taobao for treatment. Wei Wenqing saw that the heroine took out a medicine bottle out of thin air, tore off the packaging, and exclaimed that Jiang Shu was a monster. The male protagonist comforts the female protagonist, and the relationship between the two heats up, and then the male protagonist takes revenge on the Zhen Guogong's mansion is the follow-up.
But now, Zhao Yan is still locked up in the prison, so there is probably no chance to ruin his reputation and take revenge on the government of Zhen Guo. Because the plot of the original book did not have the participation of the male protagonist, I don't know where it went.
The main line has changed, but some branch lines have not changed. For example, the queen still has a heart attack, and Jiang Shu is still bumped into by Wen Qing when she buys medicine, but she doesn't yell. Jiang Shu is not a bad person, why bother to cause trouble
After taking the medicine, the queen really got better, and her affection for Jiang Shu increased to a higher level. She rewarded her with a bunch of treasures, and promised that if she had a man she liked, she could give her a marriage. So far, Jiang Shu has successfully entered the favor of the Empress Empress and gained her protection. The noble ladies who had ridiculed Jiang Shu all turned pale and regretted treating her like that.
Wen Qing didn't care about these things. What she cared about was that in the original plot, Emperor Yuanchang passed away three months after the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Before the banquet was over, Wen Qing was called by Emperor Yuanchang to Qingning Palace, where the emperor handled government affairs.
"Qingqing, come here quickly and do uncle a favor!" As soon as Wen Qing entered, Emperor Yuanchang greeted her with a smile on his face. Wen Qing saw that he never had to bow down, so she walked to him as she said.
"You young people are eating, drinking and having fun in the back. Poor uncle has to deal with so many memorials, and his head is dizzy. Qingqing can help uncle approve the rest."
Emperor Yuanchang smiled as usual, but what he said was no less than dropping a bombshell, which surprised Wen Qing, "Uncle asked me to approve the memorial?!"
what's the situation? ! Ask her a niece to approve the memorial? Although my uncle has always doted on her, but not in such a way!
Emperor Yuanchang still smiled and said, "What? Qingqing doesn't want to help uncle? Hey, uncle loves Qingqing for nothing. Seeing how hard uncle is working, I don't know how to help uncle!"
Wen Qing was silent for a moment, and had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't ask, but picked up the ink brush as kindly as possible. She was an emperor and helped her uncle sort out the memorials, and these on the table were specially reserved for her to practice, and it was not difficult to review, so she got started quickly.
She probably understood what uncle meant. He probably wanted to pass on the throne to her, right
Although she had thought about who would inherit the throne after a hundred years from her uncle, Zhao Jie would definitely not be able to do it. The Huainan Wang family who had the closest blood relationship had already been imprisoned, and there was no good candidate to take over from the clan. She also thought about coming by herself. He took over, but he didn't want to hurt his uncle's heart. Her uncle's love for her was not tainted with selfishness. If she said she wanted the throne, she was afraid that her uncle would be overwhelmed. It was because of the throne that she got close to him.
So this one was passed by her. In the end, she planned to assist whoever her uncle chose, but she didn't expect that her uncle wanted to give her the throne.
Probably can't find a suitable candidate.
Emperor Yuanchang made this plan after careful consideration. He only had one son, Zhao Jie, but that son had mental problems and always felt that others wanted to harm him. A Taifu was sent to him, and he said that the Taifu wanted to raise and abolish him, so he beat him away. After running away three in a row, no one would be willing to be his tutor anymore.
Without the teaching of the Taifu, he didn't even finish the basic elementary school, and it is said that he can't read the words completely. If he doesn't read, how can he be expected to understand things? Therefore, many people secretly called him a fool.
Hand over the throne to a fool? Emperor Yuanchang felt that the ancestors of the Zhao family would jump out and shoot him to death! But he was found to have been sterilized in his early years, and he would never have any other sons, and he had no one under his knees. In the end, it was impossible to say that the throne would still fall to Zhao Jietou. It may not be impossible to choose a few more loyal ministers and good generals to assist him, and to train him well when he gives birth to a prince.
However, it was a dream yesterday that made Emperor Yuanchang make up his mind to change his mind. In the dream it was indeed his son Zhao Jie who succeeded him, but he was actually just a puppet. Huainan King Zhao Yan, who inherited his father's throne, is the actual controller of Dazhao. Zhao Yan is so ruthless that he can even kill his own father, so how can he expect him to have any feelings for Dazhao? He only has himself in his eyes and the Jiangning county lord in his heart.
So after taking revenge on all the enemies and leaving Dazhao a mess, Zhao Yan took his wife and children to a paradise and lived the life of a fairy couple.
Then Dazhao fell into the hands of Zhao Jie, no one cared about him, so he became unscrupulous, and within a few years, he killed all the loyal ministers and generals in the court! Because he felt that these courtiers wanted to harm him! Then he selected a group of useless courtiers who could only sycophant, indulge in sensuality, and neglect the government. Within two years, Zhao Kingdom was captured by barbarians, and Dazhao perished.
Such a result was something Emperor Yuanchang didn't want to see. It was definitely his responsibility for failing to choose a good heir and causing the Kingdom of Zhao to perish! When he thought of the Zhao family's century-old foundation being ruined in his hands, what face would he have to meet his ancestors? !
Therefore, he must choose his heir carefully. Zhao Jie absolutely can't do it! No matter how many loyal ministers and assistants are left for him, he will kill them all! As for the adoption of other clan sons, Emperor Yuanchang chose to choose, but none of them liked it. Not to mention that the blood relationship is far away, he is not happy to hand over the throne to someone who has nothing to do with it, but only talking about the character of those people, there is no one to reassure him! Therefore, after choosing and choosing, only the niece of the first-line relative caught his eyes.
Although the niece is a woman, she is also of the Zhao family's blood, and she is also the Nine Heavens Xuannv who came down to protect Dazhao for a hundred years. He wasn't worried at all that the Zhao dynasty would perish if it was handed over to her. It is the glory of the Zhao family to have the protection of immortals, and even the ancestors should praise him for his good work!
The more Emperor Yuanchang thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and he didn't hesitate anymore when he made up his mind, because judging from the time in his dream, he still had three months to live. Frail and sickly since he was a child, he is already content with living to the age of forty, and because of his niece, he will be in good health for the rest of his life and will not be tortured by illness again, so he is already very satisfied. People must learn to be content. How many emperors in history were dissatisfied and wished for longevity, but what was the result? Emperor Yuanchang was very open.
Wen Qing didn't know that Emperor Yuanchang had dreamed about the historical trajectory of the original work, so he made up his mind to choose her as his successor. She quietly reviewed the memorial, and asked him if she was undecided. up. Wen Qing always lives in the palace, so naturally she has her palace, so after bidding farewell to Emperor Yuanchang, he planned to return to her residence.
Emperor Yuanchang called her to stop, "Qingqing, you should live in the East Palace from today on."
The East Palace has always been the residence of the prince. Now Wen Qing couldn't pretend to be stupid even if she wanted to. She looked directly at Emperor Yuanchang with a calm expression, "Does uncle know what he is doing?"
Emperor Yuanchang laughed, "Uncle isn't too confused, of course he knows what he's doing."
Wen Qing was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Does the parents know?"
"I have already told Lord Zhen, he will tell your parents. Tomorrow, my uncle will change your jade butterfly to the queen's name. From now on, you will be the legitimate eldest princess. Of course, your parents will still be your parents, and your uncle will still be you." Uncle, but..."
"You have become the queen princess."
