Chapter 515: The two palaces fight
Concubine De's decisive and direct order made everyone present stunned.
The maid took the jade carved hibiscus with both hands and walked towards Xue Wanqing, who was standing in the first row.
The fifth prince's expression was faint, the sixth prince frowned, and the second prince, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head and took a step forward unconsciously.
At this time, Concubine Xian spoke: "Wait,"
Concubine De raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian smiled, picked out a jade carved rose from the tray in front of her, held it in her hand, and said, "This palace thinks that the Xue family girl is more suitable for this jade rose." ”
Concubine Xian's maid understood, immediately took the jade rose, and walked quickly in front of Xue Wanqing.
The eyes of the hall focused on Xue Wanqing again.
Concubine De and Concubine Xian's maids, one holding a jade hibiscus and the other holding a jade rose, stood in front of Xue Wanqing.
Xue Wanqing looked at the two flowers handed to her eyes and didn't move.
Concubine De sneered: "Sister Xian, is this deliberately finding fault?"
Concubine Xian ignored Concubine De, turned her head to look at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine and Concubine De's sister have a good heart, and they also take a fancy to the girl of the Xue family, how can this be good?"
The queen looked at Concubine Xian, who was silent, and then at Concubine De, who was holding back her anger, and knew that these two must be on the bar today, and she also had a headache.
Concubine De said: "Sister Xian, this is unreasonable, the Fifth Highness is older than the Sixth Highness, so naturally the Fifth Highness should choose first." ”
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "According to the ranking, isn't it time for the Second Highness to choose first?"
The second prince wanted to pick first, he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, where did he remember what agreement he had with He Linwan, so he wanted to stand out regardless of it, but Xue Wanqing seemed to feel something, and she didn't look at the second prince under everyone's eyes, but just gently stroked the purse she was wearing around her waist.
The second prince, who was originally anxious, paused when he saw her movements, and looked at the azure embroidered orchid purse hanging on Xue Wanqing's waist in a daze, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
The second prince naturally recognized this purse, and what was in the purse was not anything valuable, but a few caramel that he put in with his own hands. Xue Wanqing sometimes has symptoms of dizziness, and he consulted a doctor, saying that this disease cannot be cured, but eating a caramel can reduce the symptoms a lot when it occurs. He knew that Xue Wanqing was a little picky and didn't like sweets, so he still found a special recipe for this starch candy. was afraid that Xue Wanqing would not accept it, so he spent a snack machine for her.
The second prince thought that Xue Wanqing had already thrown away the purse, but she didn't expect her to carry it with her, and she also brought Wenzhen Hall at a time like today.
He Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the second prince had finally calmed down.
Concubine De and Concubine Xian were still arguing, and no one was willing to take a step back, and the queen felt that she couldn't let them quarrel like this, so she had to play a round and said: "There are so many excellent women in the palace today, you don't have to stare at just one person." ”
Concubine De snorted coldly, and didn't quarrel with Concubine Xian, she looked at Xue Wanqing and said, "Xue family girl, you choose yourself, you can choose one of the jade hibiscus and jade rose in front of you." ”
Concubine De felt in her heart that Xue Xingyi was more inclined to the five princes, and if Xue Wanqing was allowed to choose by herself, she would definitely be inclined to the five princes.
Concubine Xian frowned, wanting to say that this was not in line with etiquette.
Xue Wanqing, who was in the spotlight, stepped forward, bowed upward, and lowered her eyes: "Thank you for the love of the two mothers, the courtiers are terrified." Emperor Taizu once made a palace rule, and the children of the royal family should choose a wife based on virtue and peace, but Xue Wanqing today made the lord of the two palaces have a disgrace because of her own reasons, neither virtuous nor peaceful, and she is really unworthy of being a wife of the Li family. The courtiers knew that they were guilty, and implored the queen to remove the courtiers from the qualifications of the courtiers and show girls, and go to the temple to practice sin. ”
After Xue Wanqing finished speaking, she knelt on the ground.
Everyone present was stunned.
The show girls originally saw that Concubine De and Concubine Xian were fighting for Xue Wanqing, and they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, but now that they saw Xue Wanqing actually destroying her future, how could they not secretly rejoice.
He Lin was not surprised to see Xue Wanqing make this kind of decision, she had long expected that Xue Wanqing would not obediently marry any of the five princes and the six princes, and it was a good idea to choose to go to the temple to practice at this time.
The queen couldn't bear to let a young girl waste her youth in the temple, "It's not your fault, you get up first." ”
Xue Wanqing shook her head and refused to get up, "Xue Wanqing doesn't dare to embarrass the girls." ”
Concubine Xian and Concubine De did not give in to each other, and the matter could not end, the queen was indeed very embarrassed, but she couldn't bear to let Xue Wanqing, an innocent woman, suffer for this matter.
Concubine De's face was not good-looking, Xue Wanqing would rather go to the monk than stand on her side, in her opinion, she simply didn't know how to lift, she was dismissed in public, and her attachment to Xue Wanqing in her heart also faded.
Concubine De said: "Since you want to become a monk, then go ahead." ”
Concubine Xian glanced at Xue Wanqing and didn't speak, nor did she help her intercede.
The queen couldn't bear it, looked at the relatively talkative concubine and said, "Remove her as a show girl and let her out of the palace." ”
Xue Wanqing kowtowed and pleaded: "Please fulfill the queen's mother, it is Xue Wanqing who knows that she is guilty and wants to practice with her guilt, and it has nothing to do with the two mothers." ”
Concubine Xian smiled and said to the queen: "I heard that this girl of the Xue family has been obsessed with Buddhism since she was a child, since she has such ambitions, let her be." After all...... This royal face is not something that anyone can get off. ”
Although Xue Wanqing looked like she invited herself to become a monk in order to avoid the conflict between the two palaces, she rejected Concubine Xian and Concubine De was indeed a shame on the royal family.
Xue Wanqing seemed to have paid attention, and kowtowed again and pleaded, "Please fulfill the queen." ”
The queen looked at Xue Wanqing and sighed, "That's it, you go down first, and the palace will issue an order after the palace is elected." ”
The queen thought that Concubine De and Concubine Xian were afraid that they were both angry now, so she asked Xue Wanqing to avoid the point first.
Xue Wanqing thanked the queen, got up and walked out of the Wenzhen Palace.
The second prince looked at Xue Wanqing's back, and his eyes quietly turned red.
The queen looked at Concubine De and Concubine Xian, in order to avoid the recurrence of what happened before, this time she said with a slightly tough attitude: "Concubine Xian is older, let's choose Concubine Xian first, and let Concubine De choose first when the side concubine is selected later." ”
Although Concubine De was unhappy in her heart, she only smiled coldly after thinking about it: "Then let Sister Xian choose it first, lest she come to rob me again if I fancy it, and cause the little girl to go home again, which is really a sin." ”
This is to put Xue Wanqing's renunciation on Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian has always been steady, and she didn't choke with Concubine De when she heard the words, she smiled: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”
Then Concubine Xian looked at the six princes, and said with a loving smile: "Just now, the mother concubine had to pick the girl of the Xue family, but unfortunately the emperor had no fate with her." This time, the mother concubine is not good at making claims, the emperor, you can choose the concubine yourself, after all, you have to live by yourself in the future. ”
Concubine Xian said this beautifully, but Concubine De's face sank.
