Chapter 565 Side Concubine
The fifth prince's concubine was punished to go to Ciyun Temple. The second prince's concubine volunteered to go to Ciyun Temple. The second prince's mansion had no mistress.
No matter how many beauties there are in the mansion, they are not qualified to be the director of the family without the title of concubine.
A prince’s concubine, similar to a noble concubine, can go to the palace to pay tribute or raise his own children. The nobles or civil officials in the court are reluctant to let the legitimate daughter be the concubine, so the concubine’s daughter is very happy.
After Emperor Xuanhe was moved to choose a concubine for the prince, he ordered Empress Pei to summon a third-rank or above imperial wife into the palace. The imperial wife was moved and brought her concubines of the right age at home to the palace to pay their respects to her.
Empress Pei chose several ladies with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament from them, and told Emperor Xuanhe one by one.
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe quickly selected three people.
Pei Ying, the concubine of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, was the concubine of the second prince.
Miss Qian's granddaughter, Miss Qian's concubine, is the concubine of the fifth prince.
Several princes had concubines, so they could not be alone with the fourth prince. Emperor Xuanhe also chose a concubine for the fourth prince, who was the concubine of the Minister of Works.
Empress Pei had no objection to these three candidates. So, the imperial edict of the Empress of the Central Palace soon arrived at the Qianfu Mansion of the Marquis of Yong'an and the Minister of Works.
When the concubine enters the door, there is not so much etiquette. The day is set at the end of the month. Just sit in a sedan chair and carry it into the prince's mansion through the door.
So, at the end of May, several princes and concubines entered the door.
Let’s not mention what others feel. The eldest prince’s concubine He felt much more happy.
The so-called "It is better to have fun than to have fun alone." Why is she disgusted by her concubine? How good is it now that there are concubines in any prince's mansion.
...
After the concubines passed by, Empress Pei summoned several princes and concubines to the palace to meet. The three princes and concubines entered the prince's mansion on the same day and also entered the palace to pay their respects on the same day.
The three of them were waiting for the summons in the side hall, and each smiled and nodded.
In terms of identity, they are all unpopular concubines. They were sent to the prince's mansion as chess pieces. The concubine sounds nice, but in fact they are just famous concubines. No one has to make fun of anyone.
The second prince has a violent temperament and has the bad habit of being arrogant. The second prince's concubine's personal maid was tortured to death. The second prince's reputation for being cruel has resounded throughout the capital.
Pei Ying, who had just entered the door a few days ago, was dressed neatly and tightly, covering her wrists.
The fourth prince's concubine gave birth to a child was highly valued by the fourth prince. Concubine Qian came in for a few days and respected the fourth prince's concubine. Today, she also seemed quite restrained.
The fifth prince was very frank about women. The concubine Wang was treated coldly when she entered the mansion, and there was a hint of resentment between her eyebrows.
After waiting for a while, a palace maid came: "Please ask the three concubines to go to the main hall with me to pay tribute to the Empress."
The concubines quickly stood up and followed the palace maids into the main hall of the Jiaofang Hall.
Empress Pei sat upright on the phoenix chair with a smile on her eyes. On her knees was a handsome and fat boy. This boy was Heng Ge'er.
Concubine Zheng was in a bad mood and was confined again. Concubine Wei Xian, Concubine Gu Shu and others sat on both sides, and looked at the three princes and concubines quietly.
The three princes and concubines went forward one by one to kneel down and worship each other in order.
Pei Xiu was the first one. She was nervous and was extremely cautious when performing her rituals, for fear of losing her manners: "I am Pei, and I have met the Empress."
The concubine was not qualified to worship tea, so Pei Ying kowtowed three times.
Empress Pei couldn't help but think of herself when she was young when she was young.
She was also a concubine of the Pei family back then. Because she looked very similar to the eldest sister who was born in the legitimate family, she was not popular with her elder sister. She was sent to her hometown of Lin'an's ancestral home at the age of eight.
If she had been growing up in the capital, she might have been like Pei Ying!
Emperor Xuanhe chose Pei Ying as the second prince's concubine because of her Empress Pei. Judging from her posture, the second prince's concubine Jiang was discouraged and would not return to the mansion within a few years. Pei Ying, the prince's concubine, did not need to live a life without looking at the face of the concubine, and she took charge of the head of the family when she entered the mansion. It sounded very good.
"Pei," Empress Pei said softly: "You have entered the Second Prince's Mansion. In the future, you must serve the Second Prince well and take care of the trivial matters in the mansion."
Hearing the second prince's name, Pei Ying's body trembled slightly in fear, lowered her eyes, and responded softly.
Concubine Gu Shu smiled and praised: "Concubine Pei's eyebrows are born a little like the Empress!"
Pei Ying is the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an and the niece of Empress Pei's family. Empress Pei is usually lukewarm about the Marquis of Yong'an, but today she met Pei Ying, and she was very happy.
Beauty Yu smiled and made fun: "The niece looks like an aunt, that's a little good."
Queen Pei smiled slightly.
Blood ties really make people love and hate.
The person she hated the most in her life was the Marquis of Yong'an. But Pei Qin was her elder brother, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Pei Qin. It is not surprising that Pei Ying's appearance was somewhat similar to her.
Afterwards, Concubine Qian and Concubine Wang also went forward to salute each other.
Concubine Wei Xian's picky eyes fell on Concubine Wang's face, and she couldn't help but snorted in her heart.
The fifth prince is really unlucky.
The fifth prince's concubine Zheng is sarcastic and harsh, and is not as good as the second prince's concubine and the fourth prince's concubine. Even the newly entered prince's concubine is a little worse than the other two concubines.
She has a round face and a slim figure. In terms of appearance, she is not as good as the palace maids in the palace!
...
In front of Empress Pei, Concubine Wei did not dare to complain. In private, she had to complain to Concubine Gu Shu.
"The princes and concubines are the most mediocre. When marrying a wife and virtuous concubines, you should choose the one with good looks! I really don't know how the Queen chose Wang."
Concubine Gu Shu was helpless and whispered: "The fifth prince's knees are empty and he has no descendants yet. The emperor ordered the Empress to choose a concubine with a good appearance. The Empress had tried a lot of effort to do this and specially summoned the experienced nanny from the palace to the Jiaofang Hall to secretly observe the appearance and body shape of the ladies."
"Several nannies have chosen the daughter of the Minister Wang. The Queen issued the phoenix order."
"The Empress is full of good wishes, it's fine if you don't appreciate it. If you show dissatisfied words, you will definitely anger the Empress and the Emperor."
Concubine Wei Xian: "..."
When Concubine Wei Xian thought of Emperor Xuanhe who was as cold as iron, she suddenly felt sad from her heart and sighed: "Forget it! I just said nothing! Anyway, I just went to cry and the emperor ignored it."
Concubine Gu Shu was too lazy to comfort Concubine Wei Xian anymore.
