Chapter 175 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (4)

On the second day after the Qionglin Banquet, Emperor Zhaohui issued two imperial edicts.

The first one was the imperial decree granting marriage to the third princess Li Danruo and this year's top scholar Xu Wenyang.

The second one was a letter of appointment appointing this year's runner-up Chu Yuxuan as the acting chief officer of Yongjing City.

Now almost everyone can be basically sure that Chu Yuxuan is the fifth imperial consort favored by Emperor Zhaohui.

Chu Yuhe congratulated his brother openly, but secretly kept reminding himself that there was still a chance, as long as they had not gotten married, he still had a chance.

After all, Chu Yuxuan became a Taoist monk in his previous life. Maybe he had become disillusioned with the world at some point.

"Liuniang, mother thinks Xu Wenyang is okay." The queen was talking to the third princess about the marriage decree. "You also met him in person yesterday. Do you have any other ideas?"

If the third princess Li Dan thought that she would never be able to marry Chu Yuhe in this life, then it would make no difference who she married. She originally wanted to help her brother win over some court officials, but now no important official was willing to accept her.

"No, he's fine." The third princess Li Danruo said indifferently, "It's just that he comes from a humble background, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help my brother."

"Liuniang, no one can tell what your father is thinking." The queen sighed and shook her head, "Your eldest brother is just a little more flamboyant, but now he has been left out by your father.

The third prince is the heir to the throne, but his mother was born a palace maid and is now only a concubine."

The third princess Li Danruo said, "Then mother, father is still in his prime after all, and there may be other princes born in the future. Mother, you should make preparations early!"

"It will be the time for the selection of concubines soon. I wonder if any of the newcomers will catch your father's heart by then." The queen said uneasily, "It seems that even the Cui family will let someone into the palace this time."

Feng Yuman suddenly spoke up at this time: "Don't worry, Queen, the news has come through that there are no girls of marriageable age to enter the palace. As long as you continue to be careful in what you say and do, your position will be very stable in the future."

"Why are you arranging a marriage for your daughter now?" Cui Zhiqing, the head of the Cui family, privately asked his younger brother Cui Zhiyuan, "Do you know that the talent show is about to start? Your daughter is the best candidate.

Apart from other things, based on her status and appearance, it is no problem for her to become a concubine."

Cui Zhiqing still cares about his younger brother, otherwise he would never look for him privately.

Cui Zhiyuan took a sip of tea calmly before saying, "Brother, is the palace really that good? You and I grew up together with that guy, don't you know what his temper is like? My daughter should call you uncle!"

How could you bear to let her enter the palace and suffer so much?"

"How can this be called torture? The eldest prince has been abandoned, the second prince has gone to guard the imperial mausoleum, and the third prince is of such a low birth." Cui Zhiqing began to list them one by one, "The emperor is in his prime, and if you can give birth to another prince for him, it will be a huge fortune!"

"The Cui family has more than one daughter, you can find someone else." Cui Zhiyuan was not moved at all.

"The emperor values ​​legitimate daughters over illegitimate daughters, and now your family is the only legitimate daughter." Cui Zhiqing said unhappily, "If there were any other candidates, I would not want to send your daughter to the palace."

"Then just recognize another legitimate daughter. Anyway, my daughter is already married." Cui Zhiyuan put down the teacup in his hand, his expression firm, "Anyway, I don't want this wealth!"

"You!" Seeing that his brother was unmoved, Cui Zhiqing just turned away.

But no one expected that when everyone was eagerly waiting for Emperor Zhaohui to select concubines, he actually cancelled the selection on the grounds that the treasury was poor.

He even issued a general amnesty and released some palace maids who were over 19 years old from the palace early.

This series of mysterious operations has made many people start to get anxious, because it seems that there is really no one who can inherit the throne.
