Tu Lihua frowned slightly and said, "I know this. Please ask Eunuch Feng to wait in the palace for a while."
The maid gave a blessing and said: "Yes."
She has no feelings for Emperor Jian'an, and the two of them are basically a romantic couple.
In her eyes, Zhao Meixu has neither beauty nor talent.
Even favors are dealt with carelessly.
It makes her unhappy as a woman.
On weekdays, she even felt disgusted when seeing Zhao Meixu.
However, considering her status, she still maintained basic etiquette and had to obey the emperor's arrangements.
Under the service of the maid, Tu Lihua changed into a new set of regular clothes and dressed up a little before going to see Feng Dabao.
She was radiant at this time. After giving birth, she became plump and looked more like a lady.
"What is your purpose here, Eunuch Feng?"
After Feng Dabao saw Tu Lihua, he bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the empress."
"The situation is tense now. Your Majesty wants to stabilize the Huo family. Please choose a suitable prince and choose a day to show your goodwill to the Huo family."
Tu Lihua glanced at Feng Dabao, lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty did not say whether marriage is needed?"
"I didn't say it clearly." Feng Dabao said truthfully with a thick smile on his face.
"I know about this matter and will make arrangements today." Tu Lihua said nonchalantly.
"Thank you, Queen, and I will take my leave."
Tu Lihua ordered: "Eunuch Feng, please come and bring me the Red Dragon Life Extension Pill."
"The queen can't help it."
"It's just a pill, father-in-law, there's no need to be polite." Tu Lihua placed a red dragon longevity pill in a sandalwood box into Feng Dabao's hand.
Feng Dabao still had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Then the slave will be disrespectful."
He knew that the reason why the empress gave the elixir this time was purely for the prince, and she wanted him to say more good things to Emperor Jian'an.
It's not a big deal.
It was just a matter of effort for him.
Red Dragon Life-Extension Pill is a rare medicine. A mortal can extend his life by several years if he takes it, and a martial artist can improve his cultivation by one year if he takes it.
He really couldn't bear to refuse.
After sending Feng Dabao away, Queen Tu Lihua was thoughtful.
As a queen, she also knows a little about what the Huo family is like.
Zhao Meixu didn't explicitly mention the marriage, but asked her to find a suitable prince, which was just a matchmaker.
Taking the initiative to lower one's body in this way shows weakness to the Huo family, so that the Huo family does not dare to act rashly during this period.
Just imagine, the emperor wants his son to marry your daughter, does he mean to do something to you?
Obviously not.
Instead, I feel that the emperor wants to compromise with you.
Tu Lihua has been in the palace for many years and has long been familiar with these techniques of controlling her subordinates.
Now that Zhao Muxu wanted her to designate, but did not identify other concubines, the implication was already clear that the fifth prince had been appointed by default.
Because the fifth prince did not have a concubine, if Zhao Mixu spoke directly, he would lose his majesty as a father and emperor.
It was fine for the dignified emperor to marry his concubine, as women's status was low.
In the royal family, it has been a tool for political marriage since ancient times, and no one talks about it.
But if the prince is allowed to do something like this, it will only make people think that the emperor is incompetent and that even his ministers cannot suppress him.
It would be okay if there were only one or two, but if more people thought the same way.
The martial arts forces at the top are afraid that he will overthrow his position and replace it with a descendant of the Zhao family to protect their own interests.
All in all, the only option was to find her as the queen, and let her do it in the name of caring for the prince, which was a fig leaf.
If you think about it carefully, the fifth prince Zhao Hongming is already thirteen years old and will be fourteen after his birthday in the next year.
Although fourteen years old is a bit young, he is still considered a young adult and can look for some girls of the right age.
According to the regulations of the Wei royal family, the prince's wedding should generally be between the ages of eighteen and twenty, and the prince's daughter's wedding should be around the age of eighteen.
This is the age of marriage.
Before the wedding there is the engagement.
And there is no definite answer to this.
Among the nobles of the Wei Dynasty, the earlier ones entered into a marriage contract after birth, while the later ones completed it at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
So now it is really suitable to choose a rich and noble girl for the fifth prince Zhao Hongming.
After figuring out the key to what happened before and after, Tu Lihua immediately sent people to Dongwusuo, where the fifth prince Zhao Hongming lived, to arrange the matter.
Dongwusuo (Qingfeng Pavilion).
Zhao Hongming was sitting on a yellow futon in the bedroom, practicing quietly.
It's winter now and it's cold outside.
There was a burst of warmth in his room.
There is a fire tunnel hidden under the palace of Wei Dynasty, and the fire tunnel has a hole in his bedroom.
When you burn a fire outside, the heat will be transferred into the house through the fire channel, making the entire house warm.
This cave entrance is also called Earth Dragon.
Just as he was concentrating on practicing, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house and stopped at his door.
Wang Bao, the personal eunuch, said outside the house: "Your Highness, the Queen has sent someone over and needs to see Your Highness."
Zhao Hongming stopped practicing and frowned slightly.
There was very little communication and contact between him and the queen, so why did she suddenly come to him?
The day before yesterday, he went to the Queen's Kunning Palace and listened in the corner, but he didn't hear anything about him.
Zhao Hongming was a little puzzled.
He stood up and said, "I understand, I will come right away."
Soon Zhao Hongming put on his cloak and opened the door. Guards Chang Wubing and Wang Baoju stood outside the door.
Wang Bao bowed his head and said: "The empress's people are currently in the living room."
"Go over there."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhao Hongming took the lead and walked at the front, with Wang Bao and Chang Wubing following behind him.
Soon, Zhao Hongming walked to the living room.
It was a father-in-law who was sent by the Queen.
He knew this father-in-law, his name was Jiang Guanfu, and he was the queen's chief eunuch.
Every time I say hello, I see him.
"Eunuch Jiang."
Zhao Hongming greeted in advance.
Jiang Guanfu hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Fifth Highness."
Zhao Hongming said straight to the point: "I wonder what instructions the Queen has when Eunuch Jiang comes here this time?"
Jiang Guanfu said with a smile: "That's a good thing. The Queen has seen that His Highness is already quite old, so she has already begun to look for a suitable wealthy lady for His Highness."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongming suddenly had a bad premonition.
The queen usually doesn't want to see him when greeting her, but now she's looking for a partner for him. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
In his previous life, what he feared most was the sudden concern from his friends.
Zhao Hongming said: "I hope my father-in-law will tell you in detail."
Jiang Guanfu waved his orchid fingers and covered his mouth with a smile: "The Huo family has an eldest daughter who is now in her mid-teens and is waiting to be married. She recently came to Daliang, and the empress intends to set up a bridge for His Highness. Your Highness should make some preparations in advance. "
really.
Zhao Hongming knew very little now and could not make too many judgments. He said along the way: "I hope my father-in-law will elaborate more. What preparations should I make?"
