Fifty-nine·There is also something to pay attention to when choosing a prince-in-law

Su Yao could understand the discomfort in his heart.

The more people appear indifferent on the surface, the harder it may be to let go in their hearts.

Xiao Heng usually rarely talks about these things, but it's not that he doesn't care anymore, he just rarely mentions them. Those pains are always with him, making him heartbroken every time he thinks about them.

She held Xiao Heng's hand and comforted her with a gentle tone: "It's over. No matter what, you are now married. Whether you are the queen or the father, the queen, the mother and the concubine, they will be happy."

Xiao Heng knelt in front of Queen Hu's soul and talked for a long time. He usually rarely talked, but today he talked a lot. Su Yao listened quietly and did not disturb her.

After a while, Xiao Heng recovered his emotions and went out with Su Yao to meet Concubine Pang.

Concubine Pang smiled and gave many rewards, then asked Xiao Heng and Su Yao to sit down and talk.

She was already very familiar with Su Yao. When she saw that Su Yao and Xiao Heng had a good relationship, she joked with a smile: "It is indeed a match made in heaven. Seeing that you can be so harmonious, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother should be relieved. You two

It’s not easy to get to this point, so you should cherish it.”

Su Yao responded with a smile.

Concubine Pang said softly: "You have to take more care of everything in the East Palace. It is your palace. From now on, Concubine Taisun will be responsible for the affairs of the East Palace. Every month, there will be someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I’m here to explain it to you. If you don’t understand something, just come and ask me.”

Although Concubine Pang is not the middle palace, she has been in charge of the Sixth Palace in these years. Now Emperor Yuanfeng is still the emperor. It is certainly not possible for the inner palace affairs to be handled by Su Yao, the grandson concubine, for the time being, but the affairs of the east palace are not.

Passed it to Su Yao.

In this way, Su Yao also has to take responsibility. It is not easy to handle the affairs of the first house.

She solemnly stood up and agreed.

Concubine Pang smiled again and said: "Don't be too nervous. You are smart and sensible. You will understand these things after you have been familiar with them for a few days. But I have something to ask you for help."

Su Yao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Concubine Pang to say that, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. If you have anything to do, just say it directly."

"It's a matter of National Day." Concubine Pang couldn't help but rub her eyebrows when she talked about it: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Etiquette selected several candidates for the Prince Consort, but I'm really not very satisfied with the decision of the Ministry of Etiquette.

I insist that this is originally an ancestral system, and I am very disgusted with this matter."

Concubine Pang's words were a bit serious.

Su Yao could also feel her anger.

Concubine Pang asked Su Yao to help check those people.

If Concubine Pang makes other requests, Su Yao will probably refuse. After all, she is different from before. Every move she makes now represents the East Palace, and countless people are watching her.

But Concubine Pang proposed that she just check the candidate for the consort, which was not difficult.

In particular, she is good friends with Princess Eleven.

After careful consideration, Su Yao agreed.

Concubine Pang was very happy: "It's not that this matter cannot be left to the Pang family, but men think about things differently from women. After thinking about it, I can only leave it to you."

Su Yao and Xiao Heng came out of Concubine Pang's palace and looked at Xiao Heng with some confusion: "Why must the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites choose the candidate for the consort?"

Xiao Heng smiled and touched Su Yao's head: "This matter is similar to the draft. For a long time, Taizu didn't want those nobles to become more domineering and fight for power, so he stipulated

, whether the prince chooses a concubine or the princess chooses a consort, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs select suitable candidates from among the people."

This is also to prevent nobles from becoming powerful.

Su Yao immediately understood what Concubine Pang meant by ancestral system.

She was thoughtful.

Xiao Heng followed up and said: "It's just that when this matter developed later, it changed a bit. First of all, the people selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Chamber of Commerce were mixed, even if they were trained by palace ladies, many concubines

Still very ignorant

. Not only that, they also began to seek officials for their natal families. So in fact, it makes no difference whether the girl is elected or not. As for the princess choosing the consort, you will know why Concubine Pang asked you to do this.

Something happened."

He smiled sarcastically and told Su Yao: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Etiquette will receive benefits from those candidates, just favored princesses. They don't dare to go too far, and the candidates can all be judged.

But for the princesses who were not favored, in the later stages, they were really intolerant of meat and vegetables and dared to pick on anyone. They even picked a consumptive one for some princesses. On the night of the princess's wedding, the prince-in-law died.

In the new house."

Emperor Yuanfeng did not have many heirs and few daughters, so there were not many princesses who needed to choose a son-in-law. It had been several years since the court had chosen a son-in-law. This time, it is not known who took the initiative and presented the memorial.

It is required that the selection of the Prince Consort should still follow the ancestral system and let the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Internal Affairs choose.

Why is Concubine Pang so worried?

She was worried that her daughter would be delayed.

And why did you leave this matter to Su Yao? First, because you need to have a closer alliance with Su Yao. Su Yao happens to have such a good relationship with Princess Eleven, so let Su Yao handle this matter.

, reasonable and reasonable. Secondly, the Pang family may not necessarily have the same considerations as Concubine Pang. The candidate they think is a suitable consort may indeed not be a good match for the eleventh princess.

It is indeed most appropriate to let Su invite you to go.

Su Yao suddenly realized it, and at the same time he sympathized with the princesses.

I didn't expect there was such a statement.

Probably Princess Yongning and the previous Princess Mingchang were too old, and the princesses of their generation were not so miserable.

In other words, they are considered lucky among princesses.

Sure enough, Xiao Heng seemed to understand what she was thinking, and sighed and said: "Of the thirteen princesses who were married back then, now there are only Princess Mingchang and Princess Yongning. You will understand."

Su Yao really needs to understand.

Previously, Concubine Pang told Princess Eleven that she would go if the court wanted her to get married. That was because Concubine Pang could not possibly compete with the court.

But when she has a choice, she will definitely do her best to help her daughter choose a better person.

Su Yao took it to heart and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Heng sent Su Yao back to the East Palace, and was about to go to the Ministry of Personnel. Now he was married, had his own Zhanshi Mansion, and had his own ministers. Emperor Yuanfeng asked him to observe in the Ministry of Personnel.

Now he has received an errand from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although he is still newly married and does not need to go to the Yamen, he still has to discuss with the officials to see what to do next.
