Chapter 254 Hong Zhou Gets Married
Hong Zhou is getting old, and the emperor has recently been interested in choosing a wife for his son.
The wife chosen by the Third Prince was of distinguished family background. Although the Emperor does not pay much attention to his son Hongzhou now, he will not give him a wife casually.
After all, he is a prince.
The emperor selected carefully and asked Huimin to meet several girls with the booklet, all of whom were candidates the emperor was interested in.
Fucha clan, Wuzhaku clan, Zhangjia clan, Cuijia clan, Gaojia clan, Yiergenjueluo clan...
Daughter of the Second Rank Deputy Governor Wu Shitu
Daughter of Xiong Bao, the third-rank military commander
……
These people all come from good backgrounds, and it can be seen that the emperor is concerned about them.
Huimin met them one by one, but did not say which one she was most satisfied with. She only told the emperor that each princess had her own advantages.
But the emperor was satisfied and praised:
"You took the trouble."
"When Hong Zhou comes to the palace, the marriage will be arranged."
The emperor had already made up his mind who would be the principal wife and who would be the concubine.
There were just some women with similar backgrounds, so Hong Zhou could pick the one he liked as his principal wife.
But if you look closely, you can see the emperor's attitude towards the fifth prince. His family background is good, but none of them has a father who is a top-ranking official and holds great power.
It’s just the configuration of an ordinary prince’s wife.
Later, when Hongzhou was choosing a wife, Huimin also went to take charge.
After all, the empress was imprisoned, and she, the imperial concubine, had to take over.
Hong Zhou was straightforward. The young eunuch called out the names and Hong Zhou then chose the person.
The legitimate wife was Wu Zhaku.
He didn't look at anyone else.
The emperor was satisfied with the result and quickly issued an edict to grant the marriage.
He also pointed out Zhang Jia, the daughter of the military commander Xiong Bao, and Cui Jia, the daughter of Cui Qizhe, as concubines.
The fathers of these two men only held middle-level official positions.
This marriage was bound to happen. The old foxes of the previous dynasty understood that the emperor had no interest in the fifth prince.
So……
The court officials turned their attention to the little princes, wondering if they had daughters of similar age, as the emperor's beloved son was behind.
Even Huimin and her brother's sister-in-law, Bo, went to the palace to mention this matter.
She and E Rong'an had been married for several years, but there had been no signs of pregnancy, which made her anxious.
E Bi was twelve years old, and his uncle was not much younger than Hong Yao.
Huimin's two younger brothers, Eqi and Emo, are even younger.
Since these younger brothers-in-law are young, they need the eldest son, E Rong'an, to establish the family.
However, Bo had yet to give birth to a new generation of the Xilin Gioro family, because she felt that her position was unstable.
In order to secure her position as the legitimate wife, Bo worked hard to enter the palace and establish a good relationship with Huimin.
The words of the Imperial Concubine are still very useful.
Huimin comforted her anxious sister-in-law, saying that they were so young and there was no need to worry about having children, it was just that the fate had not yet arrived.
In fact, there were other reasons why the Bo family was so anxious. Since ancient times, there have been many cases of cousins getting together through marriage.
This will bring the two families closer together.
However, as Hongyao grew older, she still had no signs of pregnancy. Bo was afraid that when the Xilin Gioro family wanted to marry a daughter to Hongyao, there would be no direct bloodline.
After all, look at the Tonggiya clan back then. They benefited so much because Empress Xiaokangzhang, the biological mother of Emperor Shengzu and the grandson of the Tonggiya clan, ascended the throne. The two uncles-in-law, Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang, were so powerful that the entire Tong family was called the Tong Half Dynasty.
Because of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor treated his mother's family very well and relied heavily on his two uncles.
Later, Tong Jia's daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and later became Empress Xiaoyi Ren.
After Empress Xiaoyiren passed away, Imperial Noble Consort Hui, the concubine daughter of the emperor's uncle Tong Guowei and the younger sister of Empress Xiaoyiren, was sent to the palace...
It can be seen that by that time, the Xilin Gioro family would probably also need a daughter to enter the palace.
If E Rong'an did not have a daughter, she would have to be sent away from her uncle's house. His father-in-law E'ertai's younger brother E'li had only one son, E'shi, who was originally E'ertai's second son, but was adopted by his uncle as his heir.
Eshi does have a daughter, but...
They are all sons of their father-in-law. E Shi is nominally the only son of E Li, but in reality, how could Ortai not love him? With two fathers paving the way for him, his future will not be bad.
Moreover, when it comes to his uncles, Hongyao will hire people in the future. E Rong'an's brothers are still young, so Hongyao will definitely hire the older uncles first. If he marries E Shi's daughter, then...
There will definitely be some bias towards Eshi.
Now that the Fifth Prince is getting married, Mrs. Bo is even more anxious.
I also asked Huimin indirectly what she meant.
E Rong'an was not in a hurry, and Xitala did not arrange a concubine for him, but the more this happened, the more anxious Bo became.
Bo has had real feelings for E Rongan over the years, so how could he not hope that he would get better and better.
Moreover, husband and wife are one, they prosper together and suffer together. Who will be the leader of the Xilin Gioro family and the heir of Ortai? Bo is almost anxious about this matter.
You can't tell from her on weekdays, she is still the legitimate wife of Xilin Gioro Mansion who manages things in an orderly manner and is praised by everyone.
But secretly I was very anxious.
If she was younger, what would she do if she became a concubine?
But based on her status, she couldn't possibly be a concubine.
By that time, the Imperial Noble Consort's niece could only be the legitimate wife.
The more Bo thought about it, the more anxious he became.
How to do it?
Huimin was not too worried about Bo's anxiety.
E Rong'an is her younger brother, and so is E Shi. As the eldest sister, although she has the deepest feelings for E Rong'an, she also loves E Shi.
Besides, it’s still early for this matter.
As for the legitimate wife, it depends on the emperor's opinion.
But speaking of it, Huimin can also understand Mr. Bo.
The Xilin Gioro family is thriving, and many people are eyeing E Rong'an's backyard.
Although Mrs. Bo, the legitimate wife, was capable, E Rong'an showed her too much respect but not enough love for her, and she had no children, which made her feel uneasy.
Ortai and Xitala had a deep love for each other, so they did not have concubines.
But it is rare for such a wealthy family to not have concubines.
The future of E Rongan is uncertain.
Even though Huimin was optimistic about her brother's sister-in-law, Bo was also afraid that the imperial concubine would not interfere too much in her brother's harem.
Moreover, if he had a concubine and then gave birth to the child himself, Bo would feel depressed.
To be honest, when Xitala was choosing a daughter-in-law for E Rong'an, she could have chosen a girl from a higher family background.
For example, Shushujueluo back then, Bo knew that she was also interested in E Rongan.
However, Shushujueluo's personality was not suitable for being a clan wife, so Xitala did not consider her.
Many of the sisters in the boudoir are interested in the Xilin Gioro family.
Although Bo got what he wanted, many people were unhappy and were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
The more this happened, the more nervous Bo became.
