Chapter 384: Who to Choose as a Concubine

Empress Dowager Zhou was only in her fifties, her hair was half black and half white, the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, her face was pale, and she looked much older than her actual age. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I think it's because she has been sick for many years.

Although she has a sick face, her phoenix eyes are swept away, she is not angry and arrogant, and she is usually even stricter, even to Mo Chuan, her biological son, who is not smiling.

It's just that when she showed up today, her expression was very kind, and she smiled slightly at Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan's heart jumped, but his face was silent.

"Everybody's flat. Empress Dowager Zhou's voice was calm and unhurried.

Then the people got up, still standing respectfully.

"Queen Mother, you are ill, why did you bring your illness to the banquet? If the illness is serious, won't it make your sons worried?" Mo Chuan took the cloak from the maid beside the Queen Mother and personally put it on for the Queen Mother Zhou.

"Today is a good day for the emperor, why don't the mourning family come? The emperor doesn't have to worry, the mourning family can still hold up on this old bone. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled indifferently and took Mo Chuan's hand and walked towards the hall.

Her seat was placed on the side of the dragon chair, and when the Empress Dowager Zhou and the emperor were all seated, everyone in the hall quietly exhaled, especially those girls, all of them looked nervous, their faces were shy, some stroked their belts, and some pinched their veils.

Shen Ning saw that these girls were smiling like flowers just now, and at this time they all turned into shy roses, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.

She couldn't help but raise her long eyelashes and look at the bright yellow figure sitting tall in the dragon chair.

Could it be that today's spring banquet is still a good day to choose a concubine for him?

Her gaze met Mo Chuan's.

Mo Chuan's black eyes flashed a look that she couldn't understand at all, he only glanced at her, and immediately turned his gaze away quietly, and poured wine for the Empress Dowager Zhou beside him, and never looked at Shen Ning a second time.

Hehe, there are so many delicate and charming flowers on this table, he can't even look at them, how can he still notice her?

Shen Ning hooked her lips and chuckled, raised the wine glass in front of her, and drank it dry in one gulp.

"Ning'er, good amount of wine! I can't see that you also like to drink, why don't we fight for wine?" The eldest princess sat beside her, and when she saw that she was drinking boldly, she was very interested in asking her to make wine.

She was very interested today, especially when she saw the misunderstanding between Chu Shaoyang and Shen Ning disappear, although she saw that Shen Ning still had some cold love for Chu Shaoyang, but she thought that the future would be long, after all, Chu Shaoyang had deeply broken her heart, and in time, the two of them would definitely be able to love each other deeply, and the husband and wife would be harmonious, just like herself and Ye Tingxuan.

"Okay, since the eldest princess is interested, Ning'er will accompany her to the end. Shen Ning agreed very happily.

"Aunt Huang, Ning'er doesn't know how to drink, if you want to drink, let your nephew drink with you. ”

Chu Shaoyang naturally snatched the wine glass from Shen Ning's hand and brought it to his mouth to drink it all.

The smooth wall edge of the wine glass was printed with a faint rouge on Shen Ning's lips, and he only felt a wisp of sweet fragrance, which went straight to his heart, and he didn't know if this aroma came from the wine, or the faint lip print.

Shen Ning's face suddenly sank: "Chu Shaoyang, what do you mean?"

With him by her side, she didn't even feel happy to drink.

"This king just feels sorry for you, afraid that you will get drunk, although this wine tastes beautiful, but drinking too much hurts the body, Ning'er, this is a fruit from a foreign land, sweet and juicy, do you like it?"

Chu Shaoyang cut open a yellow and clear honeydew melon, which was full of sweet fragrance, and he personally sent it to Shen Ning's lips.

Seeing it in her eyes, the eldest princess couldn't help but glance at Ye Tingxuan, and snorted in her nose.

Ye Tingxuan smiled slightly, sent the honeydew melon that had been cut a long time ago to the eldest princess, and said with a smile: "Eldest princess, you said that the queen mother will choose whose daughter to enter the palace as a concubine for the emperor?"
