"What? Do you know what a royal concubine means to the royal family? The five-year general election is coming soon. Even if you hate the court, you are still my second son. Your princess should be worthy of the royal family, or can give you

Bring help." The emperor was shocked. No matter how much he doted on his son, he would be indebted to him. He did not want to give in on this matter.

"Father, these two points you mentioned are not a problem. Maybe by the time of the five-year general election, I will not be the only one vying to marry her home. My son has no interest in serving the country, and maybe he will never find out about his mother for the rest of his life.

The concubine has been wronged. But her son must marry her. He is the son’s only pursuit in this life. Please ask the father to fulfill his wish." King Xiaoyao insisted.

"Forget it, you have been out of the court for so many years. You only want to redress the injustice of your mother and concubine, which really breaks my father's heart. Tell me who the girl you like is. I want to remind you, it is not

Everyone can get the imperial edict of marriage. She can be included in the royal list, but the future between you and her has come to an end."

"The son understands what the father wants to express. From the day his mother and concubine died unjustly, the son has been heartbroken by the royal family. He will be a free prince in this life and travel in the mountains with his beloved.

Play in the water and live a happy life. The imperial edict is the emperor's order, what else does the emperor have to worry about?"

"Oh! What's her name? What are you doing now?" The emperor was helpless, but King Xiaoyao had already expressed his stance, so he couldn't say anything else. From the time his sons left the palace at the age of 12, they officially

The position of the crown prince was established. The two eldest sons, the prince and King Xiaoyao, have always been the objects of his worries. The two received the same royal education and their abilities were about the same. If King Xiaoyao’s mother and concubine were still alive, these two brothers would

It's uncertain what the fight will be like. Even if the second son has long ignored the affairs of the court, the prince is still very wary of him and will quarrel with him from time to time. Although there are many small countries on the Dongling Continent, led by the Dayan Kingdom. That is also based on the

The imperial court of the Yan Kingdom is stable and the country is strong. If there is internal chaos in the Yan Kingdom, other small countries will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. It would be best if King Xiaoyao is willing to withdraw on his own. The remaining sons are still young and are not suitable for them.

The prince posed almost no threat. But what kind of girl could make his second son not even want to compete for the throne? Curious than interested, the old emperor still asked inquisitively.

"Back to my father, her name is Bai Yang, from the poplar tree. She is now the owner of a dim sum shop. She is not pretty, but her personality is very much like the mother-in-law. This is what attracts her son the most." King Xiaoyao

He said half the truth and half the falsehood. Even if he didn't say it, the emperor would investigate it.

"Bai Yang? I heard that the eldest lady of Wang Baifu is also named Bai Yang. The Baifu is looking for her to come back to participate in the five-year general election. Are they the same person?"

"Father, my son has investigated her. They fled from other places and set up household registration in the Yamen. Their ancestral home was hit by a natural disaster, and only three of them escaped. I heard that the family was rich in the past.

Feng, there wasn't much left after escaping all the way. He also had family skills, so he opened a small snack shop in the outer city. Father, it is related to the happiness of his son's life, how could he not check it out clearly. As for his surname

My son doesn't care about the affairs of Wang Bai's house. How can a girl who grew up in a flower house have a good education? She has lost the royal family's face for no reason."

"You can't say that. You don't care too much about the affairs in the court. Many officials conduct surprise training for the girls they find. Coming from the lowest level of life is not without advantages. Being able to rise to the top in one step is as good as the royal family.

In addition to being grateful, be grateful. Plus, even if they are selected to get married, they will not lose the face of the Yan Kingdom. They will not be stupid enough to reveal their origins."

"Father is wise!" King Xiaoyao said somewhat insincerely. The old emperor was not angry either. Who told him to owe this son?

"Your Majesty, my father did not speak favorably of your mother and concubine's death before there was any conclusive evidence. More than ten years have passed, and your resentment towards your father has not diminished at all. My father is very sad."

"Father, you have too many wives and concubines to count. One more concubine or one less concubine does not matter to the father. The mother-concubine is the son's only relative and is an irreplaceable existence."

"You bastard! Why are you talking to your father? I'll tell you the truth in the end. Just don't blame your father when the time comes. Just marry whoever you want as your concubine. I'm going to the early morning court, why don't you go today?"

"Father, please forgive me. My son will go to the dim sum shop to propose marriage."

"roll!"

The emperor angrily went to court. King Xiaoyao also achieved his goal. He glanced at the majestic hall, and there was no place for him to miss in it. He walked out of the palace without stopping.

At this time, the court hall was also very lively. It had only been two months since the Fan Kingdom paid tribute once every five years and the marriage and marriage between the small countries. This was the biggest event in the Yan Kingdom.

"The emperor's young princes have also reached the age of proposing marriage. Do you have any plans to determine the candidate for the princess in this election?" a minister asked bluntly.

"Prince, please tell everyone the results of the discussion in the small hall." There are too many questions like this, and the prince usually answers them.

"It's my father. Now only Prince Xiaoyao does not have a principal concubine in his palace. The other princes are only marrying side concubines for the time being. If there is a particularly outstanding girl in this election, it will be a different matter." The prince stood up and said loudly.

He especially enjoyed this moment, imagining that one day he would be the one sitting at the top.

"The concubine is also a concubine. The third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince now only have concubines. The next election will be five years away. Five years." The ministers below discussed in a low voice. The variables in five years are too great.

Those who are big, scheming, and skillful may have already taken the position of concubine. Being able to enter the palace is the beginning of success.

"I don't know which family's girl is lucky enough to marry King Xiaoyao and become his concubine." A minister muttered in a lower voice.

"Tsk, this is an embarrassing prince. He has given up so much. What are the benefits of being his princess?"

"Then do you still want to be the head of the state? Prince Bai's ambition is not small." The one who spoke was Wang Baixiang. The one who criticized him was another Wang Yunfei, who is the father of the Crown Princess.

"Prince Yun, what do you mean? Do you really want to be the head of the country? It's better to be a side concubine for another prince than to be the main concubine for King Xiaoyao. You don't do your job properly and don't care about state affairs. It's been a year and a half.

You will be intercepted and killed once. If you marry him, you must be prepared to be a widow at any time." As soon as Prince Bai finished speaking, the people next to him laughed softly. This is really true, King Xiaoyao has been here for more than 10 years.

After investigating the cause of death of his mother and concubine, he simply gave up the court. To put it harshly, he gave up the fight for the throne. There really is no future with him.

"Your Majesty heard that the Fan Kingdom is preparing to marry our Yan Kingdom this year. The old minister has found the missing young lady in the house and is learning the rules from some nuns at home. If the little girl is lucky enough to receive the royal favor, the old minister will do the same.

I have something on my mind." Another minister said.

"Your situation is not rare. The court has also discussed it with the court. You must learn the rules at home, otherwise you will be eliminated in the primary election. It is about the face of the Yan Kingdom, and it is not something that can be done with money and face." The prince said.

Said majestically.

"Yes, Your Highness. When I get back, I will urge the children to learn the rules well. I will never embarrass the Yan Kingdom." This time, many courtiers answered at the same time. It can be seen that the beggar girls who were found were selected.

How many should there be? These are still qualified to be in the court, and there are even more those who are not qualified.

The court discussed the matter of entertaining the envoys of the Tibetan country. Almost every prince received an errand and was responsible for entertaining the envoys of a certain country. After half a day, the imperial court was over, and more than a hundred people were bustling towards the palace gate.

Go and become a scenery in the palace.

The prince did not leave with the courtiers, but went directly to the emperor's study room. This is also a common thing. There is a big court day every month in the Yan Kingdom, which is when all the officials in the court discuss matters together. Then it happens once every five days.

When discussing matters in the small palace, the first person who is qualified to participate is the prince. Then there are the prime minister and the positive and negative officials of various departments. There are only a few positions in the emperor's imperial study, one is the prince, the other is Xiaoyao Wang, and the other positions are temporarily involved.

The official seat of each department sat. King Xiaoyao could not come once a year. The Dayan Kingdom's court was stable and every department was running normally. Therefore, the emperor and the prince usually discussed confidential matters in the imperial study. The prince had a sense of superiority.

Walking into the imperial study room, I was surprised to find that there was one more person today. It turned out to be the third prince who had just turned 16. I couldn't help but froze with doubts.

"Brother Crown Prince, did your third brother sit in the wrong seat?" The third prince asked with a smile and a bit of humility.

"Third brother, do you have anything particularly important? Or maybe my father is looking for you to ask about something else."

"Prince, your third brother is already 16 years old and has reached the age to take care of the affairs of the court. The fourth and fifth brothers will also be adults after marrying the concubines. From now on, this royal study will be the place where we and our son discuss government affairs." The emperor then followed.

He walked in and said to the prince.

"Thanks to my father for your kindness, I will definitely work hard and learn more from the crown prince brother. Is this the position of the second brother?" The third prince expressed humbly, and then asked knowingly.

"Hmph! Don't mention that good-for-nothing guy again. He just came to see me and asked for nothing for a woman."

"Ah, what kind of woman has caught the eyes of the second brother?" The third prince asked in surprise. The emperor looked at the third brother coldly and did not answer. The third prince also knew it and stopped talking.

"Father, don't be angry. Hasn't the second child always been like this? He is already a grown man, and there is not yet a man and a woman. If he really finds a noble woman he likes, he can also make a fortune for the royal family." The prince was a little bit.
