BXBX NOVEL Chapter 891
The Grand Empress Dowager cast a sidelong glance at the Emperor,”Emperor, are you feeling indignant for your uncle?.”
The Emperor shook his head,”no!” Your grandson just wants to know the reason. If his uncle married a wife for his grandson, he would definitely take in concubines as well. Grandson is just afraid that when the time comes, Jinghe will not be willing and cause a ruckus.”
The Grand Empress Dowager said expressionlessly,”this is what your uncle requested.” He wanted to find a girl of equal social status to be the princess Consort of Duke Rong’s mansion. He believed that their Duke Rong’s mansion was one of the best in the capital, so this widow would fulfill his wish. You’ve given him a daughter of a Prince that’s worthy! As for this Wangye’s daughter, whether their family can hold her or not, that’s their family’s business!”
The Emperor sighed. He still couldn’t find out how Duke Rong and his wife had offended his Royal grandmother!
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor. Emperor, you usually like to travel around the capital in plain clothes before the exam. Have you gone out this year? ”
The Emperor nodded guiltily,”Imperial grandmother, I won’t hide it from you. This year’s exam candidates are truly remarkable!” I have met all the top scorer from the various prefectures and even chatted with them. This year’s general examinations will be very exciting.”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her eyes softened and she asked again,”I heard that the youngest grandson of the Huo family is also participating in the general examination this time?”
yes. the Emperor nodded. that kid is only fourteen this year. If he gets into the first place, he’ll be the youngest champion in the great Zhou Dynasty. However, I don’t think he’ll be the top scorer.”
The Empress Dowager asked,”Oh? What do you mean?”
Speaking of this, the Emperor perked up, ” “Imperial grandmother, didn’t your grandson leave the palace last year? He went to Qingzhou and met a family there that he hit it off with. The siblings and four grandchildren of that family liked it very much. Especially second and third. Oh my, that third brother is a younger sister. Her personality is just like my Royal sister’s. You don’t say, she’s really similar to my Royal sister when she was in her twenties. That second brother is a scholar, but he’s not pedantic at all. He’s very smart, and chatting with him makes people suddenly open up! That family’s second son will be Qing province’s jieyuan this time.”
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor. you are the Emperor. The imperial examination concerns the Imperial court and the future of the great Zhou. You can not be biased just because of your personal feelings.
The Emperor nodded,”of course not.” He was truly capable. Didn’t your grandson tell you about the Lu family’s son and his grandfather farming? The two of them were very silly. They only had the seeds, and these crops were grown by the Gu family. Just the Gu family’s children and the Gu family’s eldest son.”
The Emperor evaluated the Gu family members one by one. The more Grand Empress Dowager looked at him, the more satisfied she was. Mm, not bad, not bad.
......
When Duke Rong returned home with the Imperial edict, Madam Xie had also returned with Li Shan.
Looking at Duke Rong’s worried face, Madam Xie asked worriedly, ” “Master, what happened in the palace this time?”
Duke Rong handed the Imperial edict to Xie.
When Madam Xie saw this, she frowned.
Li Shan saw the content. Princess Jinghe, how could it be Princess Jinghe?
That was a bad temper. She could beat up the fiancé she was dissatisfied with until he came to break off the engagement. Majesty Kang and consort Kang were so worried about her marriage that their hair had turned white.
