Chapter 395: What I Hate the Most

In fact, this matter was not considered a palace secret. Many people knew about it, but no one mentioned it anymore.

Speaking of which, it is said that this Prince Cheng was still infatuated with Zhong Zi, and was also a childhood sweetheart with his previous fiancée. As soon as the woman died, he wanted to become a monk on the spot. This matter was later suppressed by the late emperor.

After that, I no longer cared about choosing a concubine!

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have repeatedly stated that they want him to choose a concubine and hold him back, lest he really want to leave the house. Unexpectedly, so many years of ineffectiveness, now in this situation, suddenly there is such a person. The explanation surprised everyone.

Compared with those princes, it is indeed His Highness Prince Cheng who should choose the concubine the most.

"Why do you think the concubine was selected at this time? And it was actually implemented?" Qin Wanru said in surprise after listening to what Aunt Zheng said.

At this time, no matter whether His Highness Prince Cheng really has any thoughts about the throne, shouldn't he keep a low profile? What is the purpose of choosing a concubine in such a high-profile manner at this time!

"I don't know why His Highness Prince Cheng chose a concubine at this time. Maybe it was the intention of the Queen Mother?" Aunt Zheng hesitated and whispered.

"Hasn't the Queen Mother always meant this for so many years?" Qin Wanru was not familiar with the people in the palace and felt that she could not understand what Mother Zheng said.

"The Queen Mother has indeed always wanted Prince Cheng to choose a concubine, but Prince Cheng has never agreed. But this time something like this happened... maybe it will be a turning point for Prince Cheng to choose a concubine!" Aunt Zheng couldn't think of anything for a while. I could only tell Qin Wanru vaguely about the reason.

Qin Wanru fell silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Mother Zheng, can I not go?"

No matter how you look at it, this matter is unusual. Qin Wanru really doesn’t want to be involved in the controversy at this time. Although Prince Cheng has invited many concubines, not all of them will go, not to mention that she is really young. A decent young lady from an aristocratic family.

"Even the eldest lady has to go. I'm afraid it won't be okay if the second lady doesn't go!" Grandma Zheng thought about it and frowned tightly. This matter seemed a bit mysterious.

Qin Wanru's heart was moved. The marriage between Qin Yuru and Di Yan had been arranged for a long time, not to mention the commotion in the capital. If King Cheng didn't elect her, it was impossible to elect her, so why could she get the post? When the princes were choosing their concubines before, there was no notice for someone like Qin Yuru who was already engaged.

Speaking of myself, I am really a bit young. For King Cheng, his age should be at least a young lady of fifteen or six years old. A young lady of my own age seems to be just a little bit older. Everyone is just joining in the fun, so why would you invite someone like yourself?

"Sister and I went there, it's the same as not going there, right?" I was confused and couldn't help but spit it out.

Yujie and Qingyue, look at me and I look at you. They didn’t understand what she meant for a moment, but Nanny Zheng understood, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss, I understand. You and the eldest lady are actually here to nod your heads. You should not be chosen. In other words, the candidates have already been decided. But if you don't choose, you seem to feel that it is too important for Prince Cheng's marriage. I was scorned, that’s why we had such a big banquet.”

This guess is probably accurate. Qin Wanru himself has lived in the palace and knows that some people in the palace have different ideas than people outside the palace.

Obviously one thing only needs to be explained clearly in person, but because of many concerns, one must choose a tactful way. The so-called tactful way means going around in several circles, but in the end there is no choice but to choose this one.

"I feel that this candidate is not very good, or that King Cheng is not very satisfied with this candidate, so he did this." Aunt Zheng added.

Qin Wanru understood what he said, and then she began to think deeply. She tugged at her handkerchief with her fingers, and her eyes became darker and darker.

According to her opinion, of course it would be best not to go. This matter is so mysterious that even for theatergoers, it can be viewed as a play.

In a royal drama, no one knows who is singing until the end, and who is the mastermind behind the scenes.

But she couldn't find a reason. Even Qin Yuru wanted to go, so how could she not go.

"What will happen if you don't go?" Qin Wanru still asked after hesitating.

"If you don't go, if you have a good reason, it's okay. But if you don't go if you have nothing to do, you will definitely offend the nobles in the palace!"

I don’t know if this so-called noble person is the Queen, the Queen Mother or even the Emperor!

When Aunt Zheng said this, she attracted all the distinguished people in the palace, making Qin Wanru even more silent.

It is definitely not possible to pretend to be sick. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and it is difficult for any one to fool them. What's more, Qin Wanru doesn't want to pretend to be sick, otherwise it will be inconvenient for Qi Tianyu and Qin Yu to go out if there is any change, and they will let them go. Got the upper hand.

There are things that cannot be justified, and there is nothing more important than royal matters!

So, after all, she couldn't refuse this. She didn't want to go to the theater for fear of being entangled in the drama, but she couldn't refuse, which was also difficult!

"Then I have no choice but to go?" Qin Wanru's watery eyes filled with mist, and she looked more and more outstanding in appearance. The corners of her bright red lips curled up, her innocence was a bit charming, and her beauty was as poetic as picturesque. Suddenly, Grandma Zheng I feel worried.

"Miss, you need to be more careful!"

The words were said so suddenly that Qin Wanru was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Mommy, for someone as young as me, there should be nothing wrong, right?"

King Cheng is not too young, and he is not much different from Qin Huaiyong. It is impossible to contact him no matter how he looks at it.

"Miss, in addition to the position of royal concubine, there are other concubine positions. If this is really Prince Cheng's choice of concubine, and Prince Cheng has agreed to the selection of concubine, given Prince Cheng's age, there is no way he can only choose one. Right? Even if the royal concubine is recognized by the palace, then at least one or two of them must be recognized by Prince Cheng himself, right?"

Aunt Zheng hinted.

She secretly sighed in her heart. Her master was born with such a beautiful face, but he was just a little smaller and not so outstanding. But anyone who looked at it would feel that the second young lady of the Qin family would definitely look amazing in a few years. In this way, it is okay even if people wait for several years.

She has never seen anyone in the deep palace, but her appearance is destined to be different from ordinary people. With the facade of Ningyuan General's Mansion, it really may not be possible to protect her.

One thing that Aunt Zheng is fortunate about is that the second young lady is still young, so there should be fewer people who have ideas about her.

If Qin Wanru was thirteen or fourteen years old now, Grandma Zheng felt that there was at least a high chance that she would be chosen. However, at eleven years old, she is indeed a bit young, but there is no guarantee that she would not choose it. arrive.

Aunt Zheng felt that she still had to remind Qin Wanru to be careful. Although the master was always cautious, he was still young after all.

Qin Wanru was silent for a moment. She didn't think about her appearance. She only felt that what Aunt Zheng said was reasonable. Prince Cheng was relieved. With such a strict rule in selecting a concubine, she must not have chosen the right one. Putting in someone like Qin Yuru who is impossible to choose seems to force the princess to fall on one person.

But if King Cheng wants to choose a few people, it is not impossible. It is absolutely impossible for Qin Yuru to choose someone who is engaged like this. But for someone as young as himself, if His Highness King Cheng feels sullen in his heart, It is really possible to deliberately choose a few small ones, but I didn’t say I couldn’t choose them anyway.

Thinking about it this way, she was indeed in danger.

"What should I do, grandma?" Qin Wanru asked.

She had never met His Highness Prince Cheng, so she didn't know what his character was, so she could only ask Aunt Zheng for advice.

"Miss, I heard that His Highness Prince Cheng doesn't like women wearing sachets with big red peonies embroidered on them!" Aunt Zheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered a rumor, and her eyes lit up.

"A sachet with a bright red peony pattern?" Qin Wanru was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this preference was.

Peonies bloom richly and have rich colors, which can be said to be the most beautiful flower in the country. This kind of flower is the favorite of many ladies from aristocratic families. Many people embroider peonies on their sachets. Although Qin Wanru doesn't like peonies very much, she still has one or two. A sachet embroidered with peonies. Although the bright red color is too bright, there is a sense of dignity and grace inside.

The royal wife's clothes are bright red, and the queen's phoenix robe is also bright red. Such colors are extremely authentic and excellent. How could the King Cheng not like this kind of sachet.

Besides, the sachet is not a woman's thing. Will King Cheng pay attention to such a woman's thing?

"Miss, don't believe it. This thing seems to be true. It is said that in the past, a palace maid took a fancy to Prince Cheng and wanted to enter Prince Cheng's palace. If nothing happened, she would try to make peace with him. Once, Prince Cheng was drinking in the palace. When she was drunk, the palace maid took the opportunity to get close to him, but unexpectedly, the sachet with a red peony pattern on her waist made Prince Cheng wake up and kicked her under the bed."

When Grandma Zheng talked about this incident, there were a lot of secret rumors about it in the palace at that time. Some people said that they knew the palace maid and knew that she was in love with Prince Cheng, but she was directly dealt with by the emperor afterwards.

Grandma Zheng didn't actually see it directly, but she heard so many clear-cut statements very clearly.

After hearing what Aunt Zheng said, Qin Wanru thought for a moment and said to Qingyue, "Do I have a sachet with peony embroidery?" Qingyue sorted out the sachets and other accessories.

"Miss, there are two of them, I will show them to you!" Qingyue nodded, and soon took out two sachets from inside.

Qin Wanru picked it up and compared it. One was embroidered with light blue peonies. The colors were colorful and elegant, making people feel elegant. The other was a bright red peony, as red as fire, and charming. , but such embroidery patterns can’t help but make people feel a little too gorgeous.

What's more, Qin Wanru is not big enough, so she can't suppress such a rich color, and there is no other kind of clothes that can match such a rich color.

Qin Wanru herself did not have such beautiful clothes.

After comparing the two, Qin Wanru picked up one of them and said thoughtfully: "Just wear this sachet!"
