Prince Zhao Ting hurriedly bent over and replied: "It is really unfilial for Ting'er to worry about the emperor's grandmother and the queen. However, since the emperor's grandmother and the queen's choice, they must be excellent. The queen is the master.” After that, he swept his clean gaze towards the noble ladies, and saw Zhou Huaru in the crowd at a glance. He was in a good mood, and his Qingjun and elegant face gradually smiled deeper, even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. laugh.
Before Wang asked him, was it just because of the power behind her that she chose Miss Zhou as the princess? He didn't answer at the time, not avoiding it, but thinking about that question in his heart. But when he saw her this time, he suddenly felt his heart beat and his whole body became energetic.
I'm afraid I only had this feeling when I saw Shan'er for the first time ten years ago... Zhao Ting lowered his eyes slightly.
Seeing Zhao Ting's expression and following his gaze again, the Queen Mother only felt a pity, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
To say, Miss Zhou is indeed the best candidate for the princess, but that child does not have this heart.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "I've seen the prince, no matter what, she should have her own thoughts in her heart. Queen, come here today, what do you think?"
Empress Cao said hurriedly: "Everything depends on the mother."
After waiting for the crowd to leave Zhengyang Palace, Empress Cao said happily: "Mother, the child minister thinks that Miss Zhou from the Palace of the Kingdom of Zhou is a good princess. She is a bit older and acts more mature and stable. She wants to come and meet her. Ting'er is a better match." After thinking about it, he said, "Others are also favored by her children, but compared with this week's girl, it will inevitably be slightly inferior."
Empress Dowager Zhuang did not express her opinion, but only asked Empress Cao: "Apart from Miss Zhou, who else did the empress look at?"
Empress Cao said: "Ms. Cui from General Yingwu's Mansion, Miss Xuan'er from Xuan Shilang's Mansion, and daughters of Lu Feng, the grandfather of Lu Guo Gong's Mansion... These are good, but they are inferior compared to Miss Zhou. For the queen mother, the prince concubine's candidate, Erchen, felt that it was Miss Zhou. If she chooses Liangdi for Ting'er in the future, these can also be considered."
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't speak immediately, she just smiled, but she thought in her heart that the Cui family has the military power, and marrying the Cui family's daughter means that they have won a military force. Grandpa Xuan is the teacher of Emperor Hui, representing prestige, and the second girl Xuan is also the daughter of Xuanhong, the servant minister of the court. It's much easier to want to place one's own among the imperial order officers.
As for the Lu family, now this Lu Feng is the order of the book, resigning at a young age, presumably he is extraordinary.
Lu Feng had only one daughter, and if he marries this Lu Quan as a good wife, he will also gain power.
The queen's intention is indeed good, but is it really appropriate to blatantly draw courtiers for the prince by choosing the concubine? Your Majesty is now in his prime, and this prince is nothing more than a prince. If your Majesty learns that he is suspected of forming a party for private purposes, he is afraid it will upset the father and son.
There are so many concubines around your Majesty, more favored than the queen, and there are more people, and the Cao family has no influence, so your Majesty has chosen the Cao family as the queen, first, he still prefers the love of husband and wife, and secondly, it is also Very optimistic about the prince. But born in the heavenly family, first there are kings and ministers, then fathers and sons, your majesty can establish a prince, or he can be a prince when he is self-righteous.
Obviously the queen did not understand this point. She had planned for her son prematurely. She was kind, but she almost did something bad.
Thinking about it this way, Empress Zhuang suppressed a smile, and only looked at Empress Cao and said, "Waiting for the family, do you want to hear the empress and the prince?"
Empress Cao saw that the face of the empress dowager changed a little, and her heart trembled, fearing that the old man would object to her statement.
Sure enough, Queen Mother Zhuang said bluntly: "Xuan family, Cui family, and Lu family, if the queen and the prince really choose, they can only choose one of them. As for the girl of Zhou Da, although she is suitable for being a prince, she is not suitable for being a prince. Wife. I say this, Ting'er, do you understand in your heart?"
Zhao Ting stood quietly, hearing the words of the Queen Mother, his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Grandson understands."
"Where is the queen?" Empress Dowager Zhuang nodded at Zhao Ting, and then looked at Empress Cao.
Empress Cao saw that the empress dowager dismissed her opinion, she became a little anxious, and looked at the empress dowager Zhuang and said: "Mother, the son doesn’t understand. Since the empress also likes Miss Zhou, she also feels that she is indeed suitable to be a princess. How can you be unfit to be the wife of the prince? Isn't the princess the wife of the prince?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "The crown prince is nothing more than a title, just like you are a queen, but the prince's wife is different. I hope that in the future, Ting'er's wife can truly love Ting'er and can help each other hand in hand. No matter which aspect, she must be able to care about the prince sincerely. If the prince is confused for a while, she must be able to discover and dare to raise it. If the prince encounters something that cannot be solved and is confused, she must also be able to help. He comforted him. Queen, Ai Jia did this to really think for Ting'er, and I think Ting'er understands the truth."
Zhao Ting hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The emperor's grandmother is thinking about it for her grandson, and the grandson understands in her heart. It is the grandson who is not filial, but the emperor's grandmother is bothering the grandson.
"You are the grandson of the Ai family, why would the Ai family feel bothered?" Empress Dowager Zhuang took Zhao Ting aside and sat aside, but seeing the queen still lowered her head, her face seemed a little unhappy, she said again. "This is to choose the princess and the prince Liangdi, but not the queen and the fourth concubine, so there is a need to consider those."
