Chapter 1026

"Of course." Jin Yao said with a smile on her face, "You are the eldest princess of our Great Zhou, how can you be wronged in marriage? If the princess doesn't like these, I will choose another few, please ask the princess Take a look."

Nanny Qi beside her immediately put a stack of papers in front of Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji didn't want to pay attention to it, but he still glanced out of the corner of his eye.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, reached out to pick it up, and flipped through it.

There are still three candidates, the same number as the number sent by the empress.

The only difference is that the people chosen by the queen are all young talents from other places. But Jin Yao sent these candidates, without exception, they were all young sons of local princes and noble families in Kyoto.

Yuan Ji's fingertips lightly brushed a few names, and said with a smile: "Is the imperial concubine openly opposing the empress?"

Jin Yao smiled and said: "I dare not. It's just that I feel pity for the princess. The princess was born in the royal family, with golden branches and jade leaves. Now she has to marry in another place, far away from her relatives, and is lonely. It's just pitiful."

"Does this princess feel sorry for you?"

"Princess is precious, so I don't need anyone to be pitiful to me." Jin Yao laughed, "I feel that those people from other places are really not worthy of the princess. These aristocratic families in the capital have deep backgrounds. How can they be from other places? Can those poor people compare?"

Yuan Ji didn't speak, and there was a faint smile on his face that didn't make sense.

"Princess, why don't you take a look?" Jin Yao said, "These three are carefully selected by the palace, and they are all of good character and appearance. No matter which one the princess likes, it's all right.

Yuan Jie raised his head and said slowly: "Who do I like, is the imperial concubine still not clear?"

Jin Yao was startled slightly, remembering how crazy she used to pester her brother Jin Lan.

However, after the rebellion incident, Jin Lan married Hongdou and Fang Ximei, and Yuan Yan completely fell silent, never pestering Jin Lan again.

So much so that Jin Yao almost forgot about it.

She smiled and said: "The princess loves my elder brother, and I know it in my heart. It is my elder brother who is unlucky and can't marry the princess, but married two low-status people."

Yuan Jie smiled, and said: "The imperial concubine asked me to choose the one I like, so I will choose Jin Lan."

Jin Yao: "...Princess, didn't you forget that my brother is already married?"

The dignified princess, do you still want to be a concubine?

Yuan Ji's voice was flat: "If it's Brother Jin, the princess doesn't mind."

Jin Yao said with a smile: "Princess, you have a noble status, but you are a concubine for others. Even if you are willing, the empress dowager and the emperor will never agree."

"I've already decided, the imperial concubine, let's go and talk to the emperor like this!" Yuan Jie stood up, not intending to talk to her any further.

Jin Yao came here full of confidence, but she was really frustrated when she got this sentence unexpectedly.

She frowned and left, and went directly to the imperial study to see the emperor.

Zhao Yuanjing was discussing matters with the elders, and ignored Liu Dequan's report.

Jin Yao was not angry, she just stood quietly at the door of the imperial study and waited.

Such a wait was nearly two hours, from early morning to noon.

After Zhao Yuanjing finally let go of the elders and let them go back, he thought about going to Fengyi Palace to see Yun Dai, and when he walked to the door of the imperial study, he found that Jin Yao was still waiting foolishly.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to go back?"

"It's important for the concubine to think about it, so it's okay to wait here for a while." Jin Yao smiled gently.
