The queen is going to hold a flower viewing party to choose a concubine for the prince?
Chu Yunfei thought of what Mrs. Dou said last time, that the emperor wanted to choose a concubine for the war king, and she just wanted to sigh.
"Miss Qin is also on the invitation list?"
"Yes." Qin Zhilan's eyes fell on Chu Yunfei's face, her eyes seemed to hide some unspeakable meaning, "Princess doesn't know about this yet?"
Chu Yunfei smiled lightly: "I really don't know."
"If the emperor only chooses concubines for the seventh and eighth princes, the queen should not include the concubines in the list." Qin Zhilan said in a calm tone, "So in addition to these two princes, Prince Yu, Prince Chen and Prince Zhan His Royal Highness should and must choose someone."
Chu Yunfei pondered her words and seemed to understand the reason why Qin Zhilan came to the door presumptuously.
But she just thought it was ridiculous.
"So what is the purpose of Miss Qin coming to see me?" Chu Yunfei looked directly at her, "It is not my decision to choose concubines for princes and princes in the palace, and I don't even know about it at all."
Qin Zhilan was silent for a moment: "My daughter has always loved the King of War."
Chu Yunfei: "..."
As a member of a noble family, Qin Zhilan's words were undoubtedly a bit rude and even a little offensive, because the King of War was already married and had a wife.
At this time, in front of the King of War's concubine, she so confidently said that she loved the King of War, and combined with the flower viewing banquet she just mentioned to select a concubine, the purpose of visiting was self-evident.
Chu Yunfei said nothing and sipped her tea in silence.
The hall was eerily quiet for a moment.
After a while, Chu Yunfei put down the tea cup and said calmly: "So Miss Qin doesn't want to marry the seventh and eighth princes as the main concubine, but wants to join the Zhan Prince's palace as a side concubine?"
After the words fell, Qin Zhilan's expression stiffened for a moment, and then she slowly shook her head: "My grandfather was the Taifu of the dynasty, and my grandmother was a royal princess. Although the Qin family is not a family of powerful officials in the Chu Kingdom, it is the most noble family. With my grandfather's reputation, , does the princess think I can be a concubine?"
When Chu Yunfei heard this, a hint of unknown meaning passed through the corner of her mouth: "I also don't think Miss Qin is so condescending as to be a concubine."
Even if she is a prince's concubine, she is still a concubine, a noble concubine.
With Qin Zhilan's status, no matter who she marries, she can only be the wife. How can she be willing to lower her status?
That not only insulted herself, but also insulted her grandfather and grandmother.
"I really won't wrong myself." Qin Zhilan narrowed her eyes and tightened her hand slightly on Juanzi, "But the seventh prince and the eighth prince are not of high origin, and their literary and martial arts are average, so I look down upon them."
Chu Yunfei smiled lightly: "In this case, Miss Qin can just call it a disease and refuse the opportunity of the flower appreciation feast."
Qin Zhilan twitched her lips: "This is the first time the Queen has held a flower-viewing banquet since she regained control of the harem. Do you think I can refuse, Princess?"
The situation between North Korea and China is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that he will remain in honor and favor for a lifetime.
Just like when the queen lost her only child, she became silent and did not care about foreign affairs. The concubine doted on the harem alone.
Everyone thought that the imperial concubine would replace the queen sooner or later. Even if she did not replace the position, she would replace the queen's power.
They even wishfully believed that, with her status as a noble concubine, Her Royal Highness Prince Chen would be the best choice for the crown prince in the future.
But after so many years, no matter how favored the imperial concubine was, King Chen was always one step away from the crown prince, and this step could never be overcome.
Until now, it seems that there is no possibility of crossing over.
"So what did Miss Qin want to say when she came to see me today?" Chu Yunfei smiled lightly, "I can't say no to the flower appreciation banquet, and I'm not willing to be the concubine for the seventh and eighth princes, let alone which one." The prince is a concubine... In this case, the only way to deal with this is to simply go to the palace to enjoy the flowers. I believe that the Queen and the Queen will also pay attention to the right couple when planning a wedding. Even if the flower-viewing banquet is to select a concubine for the prince, not everyone will go there. Women who admire the flowers will be selected.”
Since it is a choice, it must be to choose a few suitable ones from among many women.
Family background, appearance, conduct, and temperament will all be factors considered.
With Qin Zhilan's status, the queen would never force her to be anyone's concubine. If she had no intention of being interested in the seventh and eighth princes, the queen would not force a marriage regardless of her wishes.
So what's there to worry about?
As the Grand Tutor's granddaughter, the Queen would not let her lose face no matter what. This was a sign of respect for the Tutor.
It's not that Qin Zhilan didn't understand this, but she still chose to come to talk to her about it.
It was obvious that she had other plans in mind.
Qin Zhilan squeezed the silk in her hand and lowered her eyes to avoid Chu Yunfei's gaze: "I just said that I admire His Highness the War King."
"I heard clearly what you just said." Chu Yunfei said calmly, "But Miss Qin is not willing to be the concubine of the War King, so you can keep this love in your heart."
After that, he added casually: "To be honest, even if Miss Qin is willing to be the concubine of the King of War, I will not agree. No one wants to share their husband with others, so Miss Qin doesn't have to worry about this problem."
Qin Zhilan said calmly: "Don't you realize that Princess is too selfish?"
Chu Yunfei was stunned: "Am I selfish?"
"yes."
Chu Yunfei frowned: "Miss Qin, where did you start talking about this?"
Qin Zhilan pursed her lips: "The war king has a noble status, holds military power, and has top-notch personality and appearance. The princess is just a woman who came from the third-grade minister's house. Now your father can't even keep the official position of the third-grade servant. The princess feels that Are you worthy of His Highness the War King?"
When Chu Yunfei heard these words, she smiled directly: "Whether we are worthy or not, it shouldn't be Miss Qin who has the final say, right?"
Qin Zhilan looked at her calmly.
"Besides, Rong Cangming and I are getting married. It's not an affair without a matchmaker, nor is it me forcing him to marry with a knife." The corners of Chu Yunfei's mouth were slightly raised, and sarcasm appeared on his face, "Miss Qin thinks that if he doesn't want to, even if I take the Can you force him with a knife?"
Qin Zhilan looked worried: "The more responsible the War King is, the more valuable his character is. Isn't the princess willing to think more about him?"
"It is for Rong Cang's sake that we cannot let him be a heartless and heartless man." Chu Yun's eyebrows were a little indifferent, "If the purpose of Miss Qin's coming today is to persuade me to go to court, I'm afraid I want to disappoint Miss Qin. Firstly, I am not that stupid to let myself and my children become orphans and widowed mothers by letting go of such an excellent husband. Secondly, even if I were willing, Rong Cang would not be willing. Thirdly, Miss Qin Since you claim to be from a noble family and are proud of your grandfather, I can't help but want to ask, did the highly respected Taifu teach you to steal other people's husbands?"
Qin Zhilan's face turned pale: "You don't have to involve my grandfather."
"But Miss Qin is here today as Taifu Qin's granddaughter, so I treat her with courtesy." Chu Yun's red eyes were cold and her face was indifferent, "Otherwise, what qualifications does Miss Qin think she has to sit here and talk to you?" I spoke?"
"you--"
"Miss Qin, please come back."
Qin Zhilan sat still and said, "I have no intention of asking the princess to go down to the court to beg."
Chu Yunfei was pale.
"If the princess feels that a woman is helpless with a child, she can make a compromise..." Qin Zhilan lowered her eyes, probably she also found it difficult to say, "If the war king ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, the concubine who lives in the palace can also be named a concubine. At least being one of the four concubines... doesn't mean I have wronged the princess."
Chu Yunfei looked at her in disbelief, and suddenly chuckled, with blatant ridicule: "Miss Qin is here today just to tell me a joke?"
Qin Zhilan's face turned red and she looked at Chu Yunfei displeased: "Princess, do you think this is a joke?"
"It's indeed a joke." Chu Yunfei's eyes were cold, "A woman who has not yet left the palace came to my princess's house and persuaded me to give up my position as the principal concubine and demote myself to the side concubine, with a benevolent tone... …I really want to know where Miss Qin got so much confidence, and who taught you the truth that makes you so ignorant!"
