Chapter 204: The Stunning Secret Guard in Ancient Power Conspiracy and Hegemony (7)
Yaoguang's current identity is just that of a folk woman, but Gongyi Shuo actually wants to give her the position of concubine?
You know, before a prince is crowned king, there are very strict rules for the number of wives and concubines who can be accompanied by royal jade certificates.
The first concubine is the prince's concubine.
There were two side concubines, four concubines, and an indefinite number of concubines.
Even if he was granted the title of prince, he only raised the number of concubines to six.
These quotas were all used to win over the powerful people of the previous dynasty. Even concubines, there were many people vying for them.
For example, although the position of the principal concubine has not yet been officially determined, the mother-in-law has already appointed a cousin of the Xie family as the concubine, and a daughter from two powerful families, such as the Zhou family and the Shen family, as the concubine.
The three families all had their own merits in the previous dynasty, and after marrying each other, they will all be beneficial to their own cause of seizing the heir.
How could he be like Gong Yishuo and make a fatherless and motherless orphan girl donated by the people as a concubine?
Isn't he afraid that his father will reprimand him? !
The key is……
Gongyi Mu's expression was as dark as if he could squeeze out water.
How much Yaoguang was loved by Gongyi Shuo? It was only the second day of her service, and Gongyi Shuo hurriedly came to ask her for the position of concubine.
Did all the methods she had carefully cultivated by the Xie family be used on Gong Yishuo?
Didn't she say she loved herself?
Why did he start to use tricks on Gong Yishuo so quickly and make him obsessed.
Gongyimu fell into an extremely tangled state of mind.
On the one hand, he should be pleased with Shi Ran's excellence and outstanding methods.
This Xie family almost followed the etiquette standards of the young lady of the family, and trained the secret guard with charm skills like the leader of the flower house. He almost succeeded in winning the heart of the eldest son of the emperor with one blow.
But on the other hand, he was fiercely unwilling to give in.
That was the woman he was attracted to, but he could only bow his head and send her to the palace of the eldest son of the emperor for the sake of a position that should belong to him.
Gongyi Mu looked back at the majestic palace of Qinzheng Hall.
One day, he will legitimately sit on the chair in the center here.
By then, everything that is best in the world should be his.
In the Zichen Palace, Sheng looked at his eldest son expressionlessly, his tone was flat and his emotions could not be heard.
"You said, you want to make a folk girl a concubine?"
"Yes, I have asked Shi to be my concubine. Although she is an ordinary folk woman with no prominent family background, she is gentle, courteous and courteous. There is no one in charge of the family now, so I want to Please grant me the title of Shi, and let her take care of all the matters in the house for my children before the concubine enters the house."
The Holy One did not believe what Gong Yishuo said.
Matters in the prince's house are naturally handled by stewards sent by the Imperial Household Department, so there is no need to specially invite a concubine for this purpose.
Besides, this is the only concubine in Gongyi Shuo's house now. Should she take care of herself?
However, the Holy Emperor did not continue to ask.
The words Gong Yishuo gave were just to give this concubine a good reason to ask for the title.
"I originally intended that the eldest daughter of Zheng Bin, the deputy commander in front of the palace, should be your concubine. In this case, it seems that we will have to put it aside for a while."
Zheng Bin was one of the most respected confidants of the Holy Emperor. Although his eldest daughter was born as a concubine, marriage nowadays depends more on her father's family background. Zheng Bin's eldest daughter became Gong Yi Shuo's concubine. This was also for Gong Yi Shuo's success. The previous dynasty increased the chips.
But if Gong Yishuo has a commoner concubine at this time, then Zheng Bin's daughter will definitely not be able to enter the prince's mansion for a while.
Otherwise, it would be a bit more humiliating.
The Holy Spirit said this at this time to let Gongyi Shuo make a decision.
But Gongyi Shuo didn't even hesitate and kowtowed.
"My father is planning something for me, and I am grateful to him. The daughter of the Zheng family may have a good match, but I can only let him down."
This means rejecting the Zheng family.
The Holy One sighed softly.
"In that case, I will make you a concubine at that time. Just one thing. When the main concubine enters the house in the future, you must not spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. This will violate the rules and regulations."
In the end, the Holy Father still complied with the eldest son's wishes.
After Gong Yishuo left the Zichen Palace, he went directly to the Queen of Fengyi Palace to inform him that he had a concubine.
Of course, he didn't forget to tell his mother how special and bizarre his concubine's identity was.
He originally thought that the queen mother would scold him for keeping a spy by his side, and he also thought that the queen mother would be unhappy with Shi Ran.
Unexpectedly, after listening to his narration, a strange look of appreciation appeared on the queen's face.
"She is a straightforward and interesting girl."
But soon, the expression on her face dimmed.
"A Shuo, do you like her? Since you like her, why do you keep her by your side? No matter how interesting a girl is, she will soon be swallowed up by the strife within the royal family."
And women, in front of this kind of strife, are often the victims.
"Mother..."
Gongyi Shuo didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Whether it was due to the vigilance of a prince or the interest of a man, giving Shi Ran a title and keeping her by his side for observation seemed to be his best choice at the moment.
But the queen mother always seems to be more sentimental.
It seems that she has always looked like this unhappy as long as she can remember.
Sensing Gong Yishuo's hesitation, the queen waved her hand.
"Okay, you're old now. It's time to have your own opinions and opinions. My mother is not a very smart person, so I won't give you advice on some things, lest you follow me and take the wrong path. Just follow your heart and you'll be fine."
With that said, he asked the palace maid to bring Gong Yishuo's favorite refreshments, and then interrupted the conversation here.
Gongyi Shuo didn't say anything more.
Half an hour later, Gongyi Shuo left Zichen Hall.
And the queen was sitting on the phoenix chair that thousands of women longed for. The heavy clothes and pearls almost crushed her whole body.
She looked at Gong Yishuo's back gradually disappearing from sight, and she felt a little dazed for a moment.
It turns out that time flies so fast, almost twenty years have passed.
It has been twenty years, and I almost don’t recognize myself anymore.
It's ridiculous.
Wearing armor and well-maintained fingers, she slowly traced across her face. At that moment, the queen's eyes were as lonely as ever.
