Chapter 2980: Queen Candidate (4)
Chapter 2980 Queen Candidate (4)
"But if Your Majesty agrees with the Princess Mo Xueyun being the Queen, then why don't you go to the Princess Mo Xueyun yourself?"
Ze Qu said: "It turns out that Princess Mo Xueyun is a shield."
Zeyuan said: "Shh, just know in your heart, don't say it."
Ze Qu said: "Okay, I understand."
Of course, Helian Rongjiu knew that the two subordinates were biting his ears behind him, but he didn't ask. He originally wanted to go to the imperial study, but when he thought about the matter of establishing a concubine after the election, as long as he didn't act for a day, the courtiers would not let him go. He, and some people even guessed that he had already settled on Murong Lingran, so they had to go to the Queen Mother's Palace.
The next day, notices that the emperor was going to elect his concubine were posted all over the capital.
The notice said that the emperor's choice of concubines this time will be selected from all the daughters of the fifteen to sixteen-year-old daughters of officials above the fifth rank.
If you don’t want to enter the palace, you can explain the reason to the queen mother, and the royal family will not force anyone.
The election of the people means that the chosen person must have a good reputation among the people.
After the first round, the emperor and the queen mother will choose the one they like, and the final result will be decided by the emperor.
At the Marquis of Ning'an mansion, Murong Lingran raised her eyebrows after hearing what Ze Yuan said, "What are you doing here in person?"
Zeyuan saw that there was no one around, but he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is worried about your misunderstanding. He said that he did not want you to be the target of public criticism. I hope you can understand his painstaking efforts."
Murong Lingran said helplessly: "I understand, you go back and tell him that I won't misunderstand."
The two conditions for being selected are actually beneficial to her. She has high-yield food in hand, and she has taken in so many disaster victims in Lihua Village. She is not worried that no people will choose her.
Also, since Helian Rongjiu and the Empress Dowager are satisfied with her, she should be the queen in the end, but the process has to go through again, otherwise she will definitely have countless troubles in the future.
Zeyuan felt relieved immediately.
After Zeyuan left, Murong Lingran worried that her family might suspect Helian Rongjiu had changed her mind, so she told them what Zeyuan had told her.
Her family members were not fools, and they had guessed Helian Rongjiu's intentions. After hearing what she said, they were completely relieved.
The time soon came to the day when the Marquis of Ning'an held a welcome banquet for Murong Zhou.
Early in the morning, Murong Zong and a few brothers greeted the guests at the door, and the Marquis of Ning'an and Princess Qihua brought Murong Zhou to meet the guests in the main hall of Xuantian Hall.
Since morning, the Marquis of Ning An has been introducing Murong Zhou.
"This is your eldest uncle, next to your cousin Rong Fengxu."
"This is your second uncle, next to your cousin Wei Jingxuan."
"This is Prime Minister Suo, the grandfather of your sister-in-law."
"This is the official minister, and the father of your second sister-in-law."
…
Xiao Gongwei and Lin Cuiying also came today, and when no one stepped forward in front of Ning Anhou, they quickly walked over.
Xiao Gongwei smiled and said, "This is Xiao Wu. He looks so handsome, he is not inferior to his brothers."
"Of course." Lin Cuiying smiled and said, "However, he is also the grandson of Lord Hou. No matter how bad his appearance is, there is no way to find out."
When Ning Anhou saw the two of them, his face suddenly restrained the smile, and said lightly: "Go and take a seat when you come, and there will be other guests who will come to see Xiaowu later."
