Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 495 2 Prince Consort

Princess Qin Mingyue of Hengshan was squatting in the corridor, teasing the newly acquired white peacock.

The white peacock dragged its three-foot-long tail feathers, drawing a winding white line on the blue brick ground. Qin Mingyue wondered whether he should send it to his father as some kind of auspicious sign and ask for some benefits.

"The Imperial Edict has arrived."

The shrill voice of the eunuch delivering the imperial decree suddenly came, frightening Qin Mingyue who was in deep thought so much that her heart trembled and her hands shook.

The white peacock was startled and flapped its wings and flew onto the eaves. A few white feathers swirled and slowly fell on Qin Mingyue's fiery red skirt.

Ah this, ah this, she just told her father yesterday afternoon who she had chosen as her husband, and she came to announce the marriage today? It's too fast.

The emperor didn't even bother to check the background of Shen Que, the prince consort she chose, and just decided on him for her?

Shen Que was born in a humble, even deplorable family, but he was extremely talented and, most importantly, had a very good appearance.

Doesn’t the emperor have any objection?

Qin Mingyue couldn't tell whether she should be disappointed or happy.

"Princess Hengshan is bright and graceful, gentle and virtuous, and prudent in her manners. She established a school to accept poor scholars, and compiled the "Records of Mountains and Rivers" to show her literary virtue. Now she is promoted to the Princess of Chu and granted food and fiefdom..."

The newly-appointed Princess Qin Mingyue of the Chu State knelt in front of the incense table with her head bowed and accepted the imperial edict with great joy.

It was not an imperial decree granting marriage, but an imperial decree to promote her to a higher rank as the Princess of Chu.

She was promoted for her merits, not for marriage like her elder sister and third sister. How could the emperor understand her so well? The emperor really loved her the most.

Her father dotes on her so much, and her other brothers all have one main wife and several concubines. How can she get by with only one prince consort?

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Chu. Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Chu." The eunuch who announced the decree congratulated with a smile.

Qin Mingyue nodded modestly, then turned around and left excitedly holding the imperial edict, "Eunuch, wait for me. I will go to the palace with you to express my gratitude."

Seeing this, Yao Jing'er, the chief secretary of the Princess's Mansion, stepped forward and stuffed a bag of silver as a reward. "Thank you for taking this trip, eunuch. You still have to wait for our prince. Please follow me and have some tea."

"It's my duty. You're too polite, Mr. Yao."

The Wenshuyuan of the Princess's Mansion is where the study is located.

Sandalwood was emitting green smoke in the gilded Boshan stove, and a maid walked forward holding a rosewood box.

Qin Mingyue's fingertips stroked the auspicious cloud pattern on the edge of the imperial edict. She slowly placed the edict into the box, closed the lid, and lowered her crow-feather-like eyelashes, her face showing a thoughtful look.

The husband of a princess is given the title of Fuma, and the husband of a county lady, county lady, county lady, or county lady is given the title of Yibin.

If there is a principal husband and a concubine in the princess's mansion, then the principal husband of the princess is called the son-in-law, and the concubine's husband is called the "Princess's Yibin"!

How could she be so talented? Qin Mingyue became more and more excited.

She had to find a way to get her father to appoint the other four talented people whom she had given up with great difficulty as her concubines. How could she bear to let them be nameless and without status?

Princess Qin Mingyue of the Chu State was spinning around holding the rosewood box containing the imperial edict, her eyes curved as she looked at the sky. The hem of her red skirt looked like a leaping flame.

.........................

"Is this the prince consort that Mingyue chose herself?"

Shen Ningyue held the piece of letter that contained Shen Que's life story, her fingertips trembling slightly.

The husband chosen by the second princess Qin Mingyue is named Shen Que. Although Shen Que has the same surname as the queen, he has no connection with the Shen family.

Not only did he come from a humble background, his father was also a gambler. When Shen Que was five years old, his father owed a huge debt. He sold everything that could be sold, including the ancestral home and land, and died. Shen Que's mother fell into prostitution and started a sex trade, raising the young Shen Que.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. His Majesty has not issued an order yet, so there is still room for maneuver. It's not too late."

"No, such a consort is absolutely not acceptable."

"Come here, please go to the Zhaozheng Palace. I want to go find His Majesty."

Shen Ningyue got on the Fengluan, "Pu Jie, summon the second princess to the palace and ask her to wait in the Jiaofang Palace."

"Yes, ma'am."
