Chapter 1079 Choosing the Prince Concubine

For Qi’er and You’er’s official apprenticeship, both the grandfather and Jiang Youzhi attach great importance to it.

The next day, according to the rules of Da Chu, he asked the two children to kowtow to Duanmu Lei with tea.

Duanmu Lei drank tea, even if he officially accepted his apprentice.

Since then, Youer Qier has been practicing with Duanmu Lei every day.

Ruru sometimes practiced with them, and Duanmu Lei would also guide her.

As the Chinese New Year approached, news suddenly came out from the palace that several princes were going to choose concubines.

The sage has not established a prince until now, and no one can be sure of the meaning of the sage.

Many people are pondering that the second prince who was originally born to the queen is justifiable, but the sage has not talked about the matter of the crown prince, and it is likely that the first prince who wants to be born to a noble concubine.

Therefore, the court was divided into two factions, one was flirting with the imperial concubine, and the other was standing on the queen’s side.

The Holy One is well aware of this, but he just watched it coldly and never interfered.

Now the eldest prince and the second prince are about to turn eighteen, while the third prince seventeen and the fourth prince sixteen have reached the age of marriage.

The Holy Admiral handed over the marriage of the four princes to the queen, and asked the imperial concubine to assist. This time, the marriages for the four princes were arranged.

The scope of concubine selection is women whose father and brother are officials of the sixth grade or above, and are between thirteen and seventeen.

There are women of school age in each family, and those who have not yet been engaged must report to the Ministry of Rites.

Locally, they report to the yamen of the prefectures, and the yamen will verify their identity. After the primary election, they will be sent to the capital to run for election.

For a time, some families of officials with daughters were happy and some were sad.

The government of the country was worried.

The Duke of the country, Jiang Youzhi and Gu Yunjiao, are not willing to run for election.

They were unwilling to get involved in the royal struggle.

However, the government can’t do anything special, and you still have to report your name.

Ruru heard about this, but it didn’t matter, “Don’t worry, Dad, don’t worry, brother and sister-in-law, I can’t choose, they want to choose a lady, not a girl like me who likes to dance with knives and guns.”

Grandpa Guo and Jiang Youzhi looked at each other, and when Ruru left, Lord Grandpa said, “Otherwise, I will go to the palace to ask for the grace of the saint, and Ruru’s name will not be reported.”

Jiang Youzhi said: “There’s no need to hurry, maybe Ruru will lose the election.”

Grandpa    shook his head, “How is it possible, Ruru is my daughter and your sister, even if she looks innocent, the queen and the concubine will not let her lose the election.”

Jiang Youzhi smiled and said, “Father, Ruru’s temperamental queen and noble concubine will have a headache when they see each other, and they may not be willing to have such a daughter-in-law as Ruru.”

“Let’s wait and see, if she’s on the final list, it’s not too late to ask for the emperor’s grace.”

Grandpa Guo nodded, “Alright.”

Jiang Youzhi returned to the room, and Gu Yunjiao couldn’t help but mutter to him, “You said, the grandson of Mrs. Xie’s family, he and Ruru were very close a few years ago. In the past two years, Ruru has not entered the palace as a companion, and the two children have grown up. , Young Master Xie doesn’t come to our house very often.”

She sighed, “Oh, that child is born well, has a gentle temper, and is talented in learning. I originally thought he would be our son-in-law.”

Jiang Youzhi was silent, in fact, he had always been optimistic about Xie Heng as his sister-in-law.

Gu Yunjiao was still babbling, “After the new year, Young Master Xie will be eighteen, and there is no rumor from their family that they want to marry him, but I’m not sure.”

Jiang Youzhi said lightly: “What’s the hurry, it’s impossible for us Ruru to get married. Even if she doesn’t marry, we can afford him.”

“Anyway, their family doesn’t mention it first, and we won’t catch up either.”
