The queen's eyes were black and her hair was dizzy. She almost died of anger. Her son Xiao Zhen was brought up by her with all her heart and efforts since she was a child. Why built neon clothes at the age of nine, and passed the examination as a scholar at the age of thirteen. As the son of a prince, does he need to do those things?

But other people don't think so. The queen looked at the wife who was next to her, and found that many people were interested in the second son, especially the neon clothes they liked, which were actually made by the second son.

Some of the wives couldn't help but want to ask Lu Jiao, if the second son of the emperor became the second prince of the Great Zhou, would the neon clothes still be open?

But even if it is open, the second prince should not design clothes by himself again. When these women thought about it, they suddenly thought of one thing. The clothes they wore before were designed by the second prince. If the second prince aspires to the throne in the future, their family can There are clothes designed by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

My God, I don’t wear it anymore, I won’t wear it in the future, so hurry up and put it away.

In the main hall, Lu Jiao had already stood up slowly, intending to go to ask His Majesty for an order.

How could the queen let her really ask for the imperial decree, and quickly said: "Since Mrs. Xie does not agree to Mr. Xie taking a concubine, then forget it, Mrs. Xie must have saved His Majesty several times."

The queen was slapping herself, Lu Jiao was too lazy to deal with her, she turned to look at the queen, and thanked the queen.

"Xie Niangniang is perfect. In fact, my family is considerate of me, saying that I am afraid that other women will disturb me, so when we first got married, he told me that he will not take concubines in this life."

Listening to her words, the first queen was so angry that she didn't want to say a word.

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, the wives in the hall praised Lu Jiao for her good life, and by the way, praised Xie Yunjin, saying that Mr. Xie loves his wife, how good Mr. Xie is.

Although some of them didn't take it seriously, they secretly thought that what Master Xie said before might not be able to take concubines in the future.

Now he has become an important member of the second rank in the court, and he is also a cabinet bachelor. These literati and scholars have always talked about red sleeves. How could he not take concubines? Even if he doesn't take concubines today, he will take them after a while. Sooner or later The problem.

So Mrs. Xie's words today are likely to be slapped in the face in the future.

Obviously, the queen also thought of this, and gradually she smiled, looked at Lu Jiao and said, "I hope Mrs. Xie will do what Mrs. Xie wishes."

Lu Jiao nodded, and respectfully thanked the empress, "Thank you for your kind words."

Today, the queen is already angry, so she should stop provoking her, lest she get angry and hurt her body, then she will be really disrespectful.

The queen didn't want to pay attention to Lu Jiao any more, she turned around to talk to the woman in court, seeing that it was getting late, the eunuch outside came in and reported: "My empress, it's almost time for the banquet."

The queen nodded, got up and took the concubines and other wives in the palace to the main hall for tonight's palace banquet.

In the crowd, besides the court wives, there were also many daughters of court ministers. The second prince is fifteen years old now, so he should choose a concubine. Many adults in the court are interested, even young ladies from various families are also tempted.

It turned out that when the second prince was the son of the Xie family, they couldn't walk when they saw him, let alone now that he has become the second prince of Da Zhou.

These young ladies are even more intrigued.

So not only the adults and wives of the families, but also the ladies of the families will enter the palace for the banquet tonight.

Some people knew that the second prince was raised by Lu Jiao, and Lu Jiao must have something to say about the second prince's marriage, so many people came to make friends with Lu Jiao and make various friendships.

Among them, some people think that it is not bad to marry the Xie family's child if they cannot marry the second prince.

The Xie family boys are all good-looking, smart and independent.

I heard that the Xie family's son, when he was thirteen years old, took part in the government examination and became the head of the case. The Xie family's second son went to the military camp early to join the army. The Xie family's third son, at a young age, went to Ningzhou Jianning Prefecture Medical Office Now, from this point of view, there is no one in the Xie family to underestimate.

This family is bound to prosper in the future, so it is not bad for them to marry their daughter to Xie's family early.

Many people are tempted.

The queen in front felt the little movement behind her, the chill all over her body, and the indescribably coldness in her eyes.

She had to let her father find an opportunity as soon as possible, ask the courtiers to report to His Majesty, and let His Majesty decree to confer the title of Prince of Zhou on her son. As long as her son's position as Prince of the Zhou is confirmed, she will not be afraid.

The queen thought secretly in her mind until a group of people entered the banquet hall.

Inside and outside the main hall, the courtiers were talking together in groups of three, five, and one party.

There are many people around Xie Yunjin, the second son of the emperor was raised by the Xie family, no matter what, the relationship between him and Mr. Xie must be good, if the second son of the emperor takes the position in the future, Mr. Xie's status will definitely be different.

Of course, there are many people who think that the status of the emperor's second son and mother family is low. Although he is very good, he has an emperor's eldest son, so no matter what, the future crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty must belong to the emperor's eldest son. It doesn't matter.

Those people sneered when they saw these people who were on good terms with Xie Yunjin.

In the main hall, there are two factions fighting against courtesy.

As soon as the queen arrived, the eunuch called out: "The empress is here."

All the courtiers greeted the queen respectfully. After the queen came for a while, the emperor also came with the support of the queen mother.

Behind them were the eldest prince and the second prince. After the two princes, several courtiers whom the emperor trusted followed. Besides the ministers, the Imperial College Jijiu also followed.

The first prince's expression was obviously very bad, but the second prince Xiao Wenyu's expression was quite good, with pleasant eyebrows and eyes. Thinking of seeing his parents soon, he was in a good mood, but he suppressed it.

When he saw the figures of Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao in the main hall, Xiao Wenyu's quiet black pupils were filled with tenderness, and the corners of his lips raised almost invisibly.

When the eldest prince Xiao Zhen saw him like this, he thought he was happy with the previous test in the study.

The eldest prince's eyes were full of hatred.

He already knew that the second younger brother brought up by the Xie family was smart, but he didn't expect him to be so smart.

Previously, the father wanted to send the second brother to the Imperial College to study, and then called the Imperial College to sacrifice wine to test the second younger brother's homework.

Although everyone knew that he was smart, they didn't expect him to be so outstanding. No matter what the imperial examination questions were, he could answer them fluently, and his intelligence was not only shown in books, but also in various places, such as farming, fortifications, and allusions in historical records. , everything should be involved, and they are all excellent.

Guozijian Jijiu said on the spot that he was willing to teach the second prince himself. This child is a piece of beautiful jade. If he ponders it carefully, he will become a peerless jade. Guozijian Jijiu is so excited that he is willing to polish this piece of beautiful jade.
