Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

The purpose of the Zhou family entering the palace was just for this, to let the Cao family learn a lesson, so when they heard what the Imperial Concubine Zhou said, they were naturally happy, and immediately smiled and said: "That's what the Queen said."

Concubine Zhou Huang said that the emperor was not happy after hearing this, which was certainly not false.

Soon the imperial concubine Zhou sent people to reveal the situation of the Cao family to the emperor.

In fact, if she didn't send someone to mention it, the emperor would know about it sooner or later. But wasn't it because she heard about the dissatisfaction, so she wanted the emperor to know about it earlier and suppress the arrogance of the Cao family earlier? So I told you in advance.

After hearing this, the emperor was very angry as expected, just as the imperial concubine Zhou thought.

Thinking that he was not dead yet, in his prime of life, and had not yet established a prince, Lao Wu felt that the overall situation was settled because of his marriage to the Wang family, so he became crazy. What, this was clearly not taking him seriously. He thinks that as long as the Wang family helps them, he can become the emperor, and it doesn't matter what he thinks, right? How infuriating!

So as expected, just as the Zhou Emperor and his concubine thought, she found the fifth prince and gave her a severe lesson. She also scolded Concubine Cao, saying that her natal family was causing trouble, and banned Concubine Cao and the fifth prince. He was also fined three months' salary, which frightened Cao Concubine.

Although her son's marriage to the Wang family gave her hope of becoming the Queen Mother, the emperor is still doing well now, and she still doesn't dare to offend the emperor. So when the emperor blames him, she is naturally afraid, for fear of offending the emperor. The emperor is here Her son directly destroyed her and her son, so it would be useless no matter how hard she tried to get into the Wang family.

Not to mention whether the emperor dared to kill her and her son, if the emperor was really angry, he would ignore them and have them send a glass of poisonous wine to the mother and son immediately. He was afraid that they would go to the west before Wang Chief Fu could gather the officials to stop them.

At this moment, the excitement caused by the marriage with the Wang family finally disappeared. She finally remembered that the emperor still had the power of life and death for her and her son. If he was unhappy, he could kill her. She was killed, so she finally became panicked, thinking that until the big thing didn't happen, she should try her best to keep her tail between her legs and wait until the big thing happened.

Concubine Cao was imprisoned and the fifth prince was reprimanded. The Cao family soon heard about it and were frightened, so they quickly closed the door and thanked the guests, not daring to be embarrassed again.

Therefore, the only people in Beijing who dare to play the game are still the Zhou family.

Seeing such a scene, the Zhou family immediately went to the palace to tell Concubine Zhou.

Concubine Zhou Huang had long known that the emperor would support her, so she didn’t feel strange. She sneered immediately and said: "The Cao family is so stupid. They think that our Zhou family is so prosperous that they can also be prosperous. They don’t even think about it. Our Zhou family is supporting us." Your Majesty’s gift is our glory, and our glory is fair! But whose grace does the Cao family owe their glory to? The Wang family! Your Majesty can’t do anything to the Wang family, but you can’t take advantage of them even if they look at the Wang family’s dogs. How is it?"

After hearing the words of Concubine Zhou, the Zhou family smiled and said, "What you say is right. Our family is a gift from His Majesty, and others cannot compare with it."

Concubine Zhou Huang said: "Don't talk about it. Without His Majesty's support, the Cao family can't do anything. It's better to care about the third prince's marriage first. This child is eighteen years old and it's time to get a wife! Do you have any Who is a good candidate? Although the Wang family is not willing to marry us, there are always other good families who are willing. Although His Majesty alone cannot defeat the person named Wang, but if the third prince finds a good supporter, plus His Majesty, no matter how hard it is, You won’t be able to fight.”

She knew that the emperor was willing to make his own son the prince - otherwise he would not have mentioned the matter of several other princes being made princes in the previous dynasty, but the emperor had always disagreed - the key is that the previous dynasty could not pass, and the Wang family Naturally, he was the best candidate, but since the Wang family was unwilling, she would find a less powerful family. Then, coupled with the emperor's own power, she might be able to force the previous dynasty to approve the establishment of a heir apparent.

The Zhou family sighed and said, "It's hard to find the right one."

Concubine Zhou Huang said: "Among the six ministers and those in the cabinet, are there any girls of the right age?"

"There must be people of the right age, but many of them are with Wang Shouxu, not together. I don't want to get involved in this matter. I'm afraid that even if they want to get married, they may not be willing."

"Can't you find a suitable one?" Imperial Concubine Zhou frowned in disbelief.

The Zhou family said, "We've tried to talk to him a long time ago, but no one was willing."

The main reason is that many people don't think highly of the third prince, so that's why.

"Why don't we look for it from the second-grade officials who have been demoted one level? There are many people at this level, so there are always those who are willing."

Concubine Zhou Huang said unhappily: "The power of the second rank is too bad, what's the use? Besides, Lao Wu can marry Wang Shoufu's daughter regardless of his background. With my son's background, not to mention the daughter of the first rank, even the first rank Can’t you marry the daughter of an important official?”

The Zhou family members couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they heard what the Imperial Concubine Zhou said.

She secretly wondered if she didn't hear what they were saying clearly. They had searched for the cabinet and first-rank officials but couldn't find them. So what else could they do?

Since there is no hope for the cabinet and the first-grade officials, what if we take a step back and find a second-grade official? It’s better than not finding one, right?

Besides, as long as the third prince has the tendency to dote on his concubine, maybe even a girl from a second-class family won’t be willing to do it, so what should I choose?

But they couldn't say this in front of Concubine Zhou, they only said that they would look for her carefully.

After hearing what they said, Imperial Concubine Zhou let them go back.

Before going back, he repeatedly warned: "Finding a marriage for the third child is the top priority right now. Whether you can find a satisfactory marriage is a matter of succession, so don't be careless!"

Everyone only said they knew.

After leaving the palace, the Zhou family discussed the matter.

"What should I do with the things arranged by the empress? Who can I find? I can't find anyone."

"If I really can't find it, I can only drag it around and look for it slowly."

"Will the queen give us time? She will definitely urge us."

"What are you afraid of? Tell your highness about this. Your highness has been doting on the concubine Sun Concubine very much recently. Maybe he doesn't want to get engaged now. When the time comes to make trouble in front of the empress, it can always be delayed for a while."

Some people agreed, saying that this person was right, but others objected: "Even if His Highness likes Concubine Sun, it is impossible for him to like her enough not to marry his wife. Where is your thinking?"

"Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can find the daughter of a second-grade official and marry him."

"How can this be done? My queen wants to lose face and is not willing to be engaged to the daughter of a second-grade official."

The man said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? After we get engaged, marry the other girl, and then help the other family get promoted to the first rank, won't you satisfy the queen's requirements?"

This idea was a stroke of genius, and many people in the Zhou family were amazed.
