MTL - Crowned with Pearls-Chapter 1260 Fifty-nine, choosing a concubine also pays attention
Chapter 1260 Fifty-ninth · The choice of the concubine also pays attention
Su invite can understand the discomfort in his heart.
The more indifferent a person appears on the surface, the more difficult it may be to let go.
Usually Xiao Heng rarely talks about these things, but it's not that he doesn't care, but he rarely mentions it. Those pains always accompanied him, making his heartache every time he thinks about them.
She held Xiao Heng's hand and comforted her in a gentle tone: "It's all over, no matter what, you are married now, whether it's the empress or the concubine, they will all be happy."
Xiao Heng knelt in front of Empress Hu and said something for a while. He didn't speak much, but he said a lot today. Su Yao listened quietly by the side without disturbing him.
After a while, Xiao Heng recovered his emotions and came out with Su Yao to see Concubine Pang Gui.
Concubine Pang Gui smiled and gave many rewards, so Xiao Heng and Su Yao both sat down and talked.
She was very familiar with Su Yao from the beginning. Seeing that Su Yao and Xiao Heng had a good relationship, she laughed and teased: "It really is a match made in heaven. Seeing that you can be so harmonious, the saint and the empress dowager should be relieved. You two It’s not easy for me to get to this point today, just cherish it well.”
Su invite smiled and should be.
Concubine Pang Gui said softly: "You have to pay more attention to all matters in the East Palace. That is your palace. In the future, the Imperial Concubine will be in charge of the affairs of the East Palace. Every month, there will be someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's with you. If there is something you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Although Concubine Pang Gui is not in the middle palace, she has been in charge of the six palaces all these years, and now she is still Emperor Yuanfeng as the emperor. For the time being, the affairs of the inner palace cannot be handled by the concubine Su Yao, but the affairs of the east palace are not. handed it over to Su.
In this way, Su Yao also has to take responsibility, and it is not so easy to deal with the affairs of the first palace.
She solemnly got up and agreed.
Concubine Pang smiled again and said, "Don't be too nervous. You are smart and sensible. You have been familiar with these things for a few days, and you will understand them all. But there is one thing I want to ask you for help here."
Su Yao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Concubine Pang Gui to say this, so he cautiously said: "The lady's words are serious, if you have anything, just say it directly."
"It's about the eleventh." Concubine Pang Gui couldn't help rubbing her brows when she talked about this matter: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have selected a few candidates for consort, but I really am not satisfied with the Ministry of Rites. I insist that this was originally an ancestral system, and this palace is very tired of this."
Concubine Pang said something serious.
Su invite can also feel her anger.
Concubine Pang asked Su Invite to help check those people.
If Concubine Pang Gui made other requests, Su Yao would probably refuse. After all, she is different now. Now every move represents the East Palace, and countless people are staring at her.
But Concubine Pang suggested that she just ask her to check the candidates for the concubine, which is not difficult.
Especially, she is also a good friend with Princess Eleven.
After deliberation, Su Yao agreed.
Concubine Pang was very happy: "It's not that this matter can't be left to the Pang family, but men think about things differently from women. After thinking about it, I can only entrust it to you."
Su Yao and Xiao Heng came out of Pang Guifei's palace, and looked at Xiao Heng in confusion: "Why must the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites choose the candidates for the consort?"
Xiao Heng smiled and touched Su Yao's head: "Speaking of this matter, it is similar to the draft. For a long time, because Taizu didn't want to make those nobles more domineering and fight for power and profit, he stipulated Whether it is the prince who chooses the concubine or the princess who chooses the concubine, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs select suitable candidates from the people."
This is also to prevent Xungui from sitting on the throne.
Su Yao immediately understood what Concubine Pang's ancestral system meant.
she thought.
Xiao Heng followed closely and said: "It's just that this matter has developed in the future, and it will change a bit. First of all, the people selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are mixed, even after the training of court ladies, many concubines and concubines. They are still very ignorant. Not only that, but they also began to seek official positions for their parents. So in fact, it makes no difference whether or not they choose to vote for women. It makes no difference whether they are honored or not. And the princess chooses a concubine. Speaking of which, you can see why Concubine Pang Gui I will ask you to do this."
He smiled sarcastically, and said to Su Yao, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites will take the benefits of those candidates, and the favored princess is nothing more than that, they dare not do too much, the candidates can be seen. But the unloved princesses, and in the later stage, they really don't care about meat and vegetables, and they dare to pick anyone. They even picked a tuberculosis for some princesses. On the night the princess got married, the concubine died in in the new house."
Emperor Yuanfeng had few children and few daughters, so speaking, there were not many princesses who needed to choose a son-in-law, and the court had not chosen a concubine for many years. It is required that the candidates for the concubine should still follow the ancestral system, and let the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Internal Affairs choose.
Why is Concubine Pang so worried?
She was worried that her daughter would be delayed.
And why did you leave this matter to Su Ying? One is because of the need to have a closer ally with Su Yao, who happens to have such a good relationship with Princess Eleven, so it is reasonable and reasonable for Su Yao to do this. Second, the things the Pang family considers may not be the same as Concubine Pang Gui. The candidate they think is a good concubine may indeed not be a good match for Princess Eleven.
It is indeed the most appropriate for Su to invite him.
Su invite suddenly realized, and at the same time sympathizes with the princesses.
I didn't expect such a statement.
It's probably because Princess Yongning and the previous Princess Mingchang are too old, and the princesses of their generation were not so miserable.
In other words, they are lucky among the princesses.
Sure enough, Xiao Heng seemed to understand what she was thinking. He sighed and said, "The thirteen princesses who were married back then, until now, there are only Princess Mingchang and Princess Yongning. You will understand."
Su invites to understand.
Before, Concubine Pang Gui told Princess Eleven that the court wanted her to go with her relatives, because it was indeed impossible for Concubine Pang to compete with the court.
But when there is a choice, she will definitely do her best to help her daughter choose a better person.
Su invited to heart, nodded and agreed.
Xiao Heng sent Su Ying back to the East Palace, and was about to go to the Ministry of Personnel. He is now a relative, and has his own Zhanshifu and his own ministers. Emperor Yuanfeng asked him to observe in the Ministry of Personnel.
He is now on an errand in the Ministry of Officials. Although he is still newly married, he doesn't have to go to the yamen. He has to discuss with the Zhan officials to see what to do in the future.
