At present, it seemed that the Marquis of Changping had chosen to be loyal in the struggle between the princes and Yan Zhongying and was completely loyal to Emperor Qian.
However, as the party struggle gradually intensified, it was difficult to ensure that the Marquis of Changping would not get involved in that muddy water.
So, there were also certain risks in choosing the daughter of the Marquis of Changping.
But Ling Wu’s situation was special.
She was a daughter who was brought home halfway. Unlike Ling Zhuo, who was raised by the Marquis of Changping and his wife since childhood, Ling Wu’s sense of belonging to the Marquis of Changping and her feelings for the Marquis of Changping and his wife must be lower than Ling Zhuo’s.
Besides, if they put themselves in their shoes, one was a daughter who had been raised since childhood, while the other was a daughter who was living outside.
In the eyes of Concubine Li Shu and Li Lang, the one that the Marquis of Changping and his wife valued more must be the sixth daughter Ling Zhuo.
Not only did they think so, but they were afraid that most people would also think so.
In this way, the risk of choosing Ling Wu as a companion was much smaller than the risk of choosing Ling Zhuo as a companion.
“The little girl in the Marquis of Changping Mansion.”
Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew who the girl was.
A few months ago, Ling Yaodong personally went to the palace to apologize to him. Because he had given grace to the Marquis of Changping Mansion and let the imperial physician who specializes in pediatrics become the physician who was on call for the sixth daughter of the Marquis of Changping Mansion. But in fact, the sixth daughter was a fake.
Ling Yaodong could conceal such a big thing from the outside, but he could not conceal it from Emperor Qian. If the truth came out one day, someone with ulterior motives would definitely accuse him of deceiving the emperor, which was not impossible.
Therefore, Emperor Qian knew that the newly recognized seventh daughter of the Marquis of Changping was the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changping, while the sixth daughter, who was still the legitimate daughter in name, was actually just the daughter of a country couple.
“That girl is not bad, but the others are still of lower status. Lang’er is my daughter, so she deserves better.”
Emperor Qian smiled, took the booklet from Li Lang’s hand, and flipped through a few pages casually.
“The granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and the niece of Yan Zhuo, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, are also outstanding. Letting them serve as companions to Lang’er would not be an insult to my daughter.”
Emperor Qian called out a few people’s names in a calm tone, but his simple words made Concubine Li Shu and Li Lang tremble with fear.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei is the biological sister of Noble Concubine Jiang’s biological mother.
The Minister of Revenue is the uncle of the First Prince, but his eldest daughter married to the Third Prince’s mother’s family, so now his youngest daughter is nominally the Third Prince’s cousin’s sister-in-law. Because of this relationship, no one could see what his real position was.
As for Yan Zhou, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, the other party was simply the one who could do whatever Yan Zhongying pointed to. The one who raided the Marquis of Chengyi’s mansion before was from this guard.
This simply gathered the people from all forces to their sides.
At this time, Emperor Qian still looked like a seemingly kind and ordinary father. Concubine Li Shu and Li Lang couldn’t help but feel a little scared when they looked at the smiling man.
They thought that the Emperor really loved Li Lang, his daughter, so he went to great lengths to come up with such a thing as selecting a companion.
Now it seemed that the other party was just making a layout, and Li Lang was just a pawn in the game.
It was obvious that he had been obsessed with seeking immortality all these years, hadn’t he?
Concubine Li Shu was shocked. She seemed to have never understood this man.
He wore a Taoist robe, handed over the government affairs to a eunuch, and gave himself a Taoist name called Qingping Zhenren. But how could he be Qingping1清, qīng: (of water etc) clear; clean / quiet; still / pure; uncorrupted / clear; distinct / to clear; to settle (accounts)
平, píng: flat / level / equal / to tie (make the same score) / to draw (score) / calm / peaceful?
The man in front of her was clearly an emperor.
“Lang’er is still a child. Choosing a reading companion depends entirely on her own preferences. It’s up to Your Majesty to consider carefully when choosing a companion.”
Concubine Li Shu quickly restrained her emotions and echoed Emperor Qian’s words with a gentle smile.
“What Father Emperor chooses for this daughter must be the best.”
Li Lang also came back to her senses, took a few steps forward, and held her father’s hand intimately, with the delicate attitude of a little girl.
“It’s decided for now. Everything is still waiting for the final palace selection.”
Emperor Qian enjoyed the respect and flattery of his concubine and daughter.
He said that after laughing a few times, but everyone present knew in their hearts that if nothing unexpected happened, Li Lang’s companions would be these four people.
***
Yu Yan looked at the secret report sent back by the pawns planted in Concubine Li Shu’s palace. His subordinates had already whispered to Concubine Li Shu and the Third Princess that whether Xiao Wu could be a companion or not was just a matter of waiting for the final palace selection.
At first, he hesitated whether to let Xiao Wu be selected as a companion, but now he was thinking more emotionally.
If Xiao Wu could go in and out of the palace frequently, they might have more opportunities to meet.
Yu Yan looked at the pair of gloves that he carefully placed in the brocade box. It was obvious that they had just separated not long ago, but he was already looking forward to the next meeting.
