Ting Zhao stood jade and stood quietly on the side. After a moment of silence, he would speak: "Grandma, the grandson wants to choose Miss Zhou as the princess, not just because of her identity. Miss Zhou is dignified and generous. , She is also demure and chaste, and she is about the same age as her grandson. If you miss this time, and if you want to find such a woman as a wife, I'm afraid you won't meet it."
Empress Cao also looked at the girl in Zhou's family very much. He heard her son say so, and she was too busy to say: "Yes, mother, and sons and ministers also think so, don't you like Miss Zhou too? Besides, Princess Jin and Miss Zhou It’s a handkerchief, and personal relationships are very good. It’s a little love. If Miss Zhou becomes a princess, they will become concubines again, this is also fate."
Empress Dowager Zhuang said: "Ms. Zhou Da is really good, and the Ai family likes her. But it is precisely because she likes her that she does not want her to marry the prince." Looking at Zhao Ting again, there was no smile on her face at this moment. Seriously, "Ting'er, I have told you everything that the emperor's grandmother should say. Now that you understand it in your heart, you don't have to be lucky. The king and concubine of Jin are now loving the piano and singing, and that's because They have gone through something that they will never experience again in this life. They always value each other more than themselves in their hearts. You choose your wife, and the Aijia also hope you can choose a concubine like Jin to be Jin Wang. Do you understand that?"
After all, I felt that since the prince had already understood what he meant, there was no need to stay here anymore. I can say it all by myself, no matter how much it is, the mother and son will have to comprehend it by themselves. Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed, looked at Empress Cao, then looked at Zhao Ting and said: "The Ai family is old and can't stand any more toss. I just hope that you are all well. If the Ai family, I think you are all I have heard that, no matter how your mother and son discuss it carefully, the Ai's family will go back to the Palace of Yongshou first."
"Grandma, the grandson is supporting you." Zhao Ting walked to the Queen Mother Zhuang, helped her down the steps, then folded his fists and bent over, "Gracefully send the Empress Dowager."
After Empress Dowager Zhuang left, Empress Cao dared to pull her face away and waved back to the court lady eunuch. She frowned and said, "To say that this week's eldest girl is indeed the most suitable candidate. The empress dowager obviously likes this too. Girl, why didn’t you agree with her to be a princess? Also, you grew up in the northern border, and you came here to go to Beijing not long ago. It was just when you needed to consolidate your power. Choose those girls as good princes, and What's wrong, how can I not agree to it."
In this life, Empress Cao only pinned her hopes on her eldest son Zhao Ting. She was also devoted to thinking about the prince, but she was too hasty and forgot something.
Zhao Ting turned and looked at his mother. The entire palace was huge and empty. Only his mother was standing in the middle of the hall. He suddenly felt that his mother was very pitiful and lonely. Walking up to his mother, Zhao Ting said: "Mother, you are considering everything for your children and ministers, there is nothing wrong with it. But, have you ever thought that if your son really marries the girls of the most important ministers at the same time, the father and the emperor will How do you think? My father is now in his prime, and he has not returned to Beijing for a long time. Although he is now an emperor, but at the beginning of the new dynasty, his father also needs to manage his own power. If it is the sons and ministers at this moment, there are also people who draw in power and ministers to form parties for private purposes. Behavior, it must arouse the suspicion of the father, the son is only the prince, whether it is abolished or established is in the hands of the father. When the father first ascended the throne, he established his son as the prince. First, he wanted to stabilize the court, and second, so too. He values his son’s honesty and honesty. If his son loses his father’s trust, the situation will be very miserable. Now the father is no longer the prince, and the son is no longer the son of the world. Everything is different."
"There are monarchs and ministers, then fathers and sons. This is the house of the emperor." Zhao Ting's voice is clear and deep, and his tone is quite solemn. "The emperor grandmother is thinking about the overall situation, so that's why she said this."
Empress Cao understood it, but still said, "Although what you said is correct, but Ting'er, we can't have a little foundation. The queen said that no one else is chosen. What a good destiny is to teach you. In a few years, I will decide the princess this time. Isn't it better to choose Zhou Huaru than anything?"
"But Miss Zhou has no intention of marrying Erchen as a concubine. She doesn't want to be Erchen's wife, where Chen..." Zhao Tingchui's hands gently clenched fists on his side, feeling sorry in his heart, and his expression on his face was quite painful. "The imperial grandmother is right. She is suitable to be a princess, but she is not suitable to be a minister's wife."
