Chapter 67: The Crown Prince Chooses a Concubine
After Bai Yuxi's decision, that little thing is still called Fuyao, and it is usually called Shayao, in fact, Bai Yuxi still wants to call it a cash cow, but it refuses, and Bai Yuxi has no choice but to give up.
After inquiry, he learned that Shake likes to eat fruits, which made Bai Yuxi very happy, eating fruits is very good to feed.
On the ninth day of October, that is, today, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the emperor chose a concubine for the prince, and came to the prince's mansion in person.
Early in the morning, before the guests came, in the west chamber of the prince's mansion, Shangguan Xuri hugged a woman in snow, "Ruo'er, today my father chose the crown princess for me." ”
"Ruo'er knows, but His Highness won't leave Ruo'er aside. The woman in snow looked up at the man holding her, her face was beautiful, and with the white clothes on her body, she was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal dust, and her appearance was comparable to that of the two immortals in the capital who were extremely famous.
Shangguan Xuri stretched out his hand to cover Xue Ruo'er's small mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, this time the concubine, whether the palace wants to or not, you have to obey the will of your father, but you have been wronged Ruo'er, and when the palace marries the crown princess, you will ask your father to accept Ruo'er as a side concubine." Shangguan Xuri let go of the hand holding her and looked at her affectionately.
"Your Highness, as long as Your Highness has Ruo'er in her heart, Ruo'er will be very happy, and everything else doesn't matter. ”
After listening to Xue Ruo'er's words, Shangguan Xuri wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xue Ruo'er, "Your Highness, the guests will come soon, Your Highness should go out early and make some preparations, Ruo'er is fine." ”
Shangguan Xuri only thought that Xue Ruoer cared about herself, and after a few words of comfort, she left with some reluctance.
Originally, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion would also come to the Prince's Mansion, but since the Prime Minister's Lady had passed away for less than a month, it was not appropriate to participate in such a banquet, so the old lady only came over and walked through the motions.
As the crown princess, it is natural to have both talent and appearance, because Bai Yuxian did not come, no one present dared to compare with Xia Xianran, so this result is no different from Neiding, but the young ladies of each family perform very hard, after all, in addition to the prince, there are also princes, the prince is gentle and elegant, but the other princes are not bad, the second prince is chic and handsome, funny, the third prince is polite and graceful, although the fifth prince is not in good health, but there are many people who admire him.
"Hmm, fifth brother, it's not fun for the prince's brother to choose a concubine at all, let's go find Sister Yuxi. Shangguan Yu rubbed his eyes and said a little sleepy, "Last time at my aunt's place, Sister Yuxi made a particularly delicious snack, but unfortunately Yu'er is too stupid, otherwise it can be made for the fifth brother." Saying that, Shangguan Yu felt a little lost.
"Yu'er is stupid there, let the fifth brother take a look. "It's not just that it's not because it's not a good mood, it's a rare joke for Shangguan Kongyue.
"Fifth brother, Yu'er ignores you. Shangguan Yu pursed his lips, pretending to be angry, puffing and puffing, very cute.
Shangguan Zichen next to him took these in his eyes, and his eyes stopped on Shangguan Kongyue, thoughtful.
The position of the crown princess fell on Xia Xianran as everyone thought, but what was unexpected was that His Majesty would decree today that the second prince Shangguan Zichen would be named the king of Qin, the third prince Shangguan Yunque would be the king of Chu, and the eldest daughter of Lu Guogong Wang Jinxian would be the princess of Qin.
"Brother Sanhuang, congratulations. Shangguan Kongyue raised his eyebrows and teased.
Shangguan Zichen smiled bitterly and accepted the congratulations of the people around him, but in fact, he was unwilling in his heart!
No one paid attention to Shangguan Yunque's expression, otherwise he would definitely see the resentment on that face, today is the prince's choice of concubines, and the selection of concubines for the prince is understandable, but the father not only named the second emperor's brother as the king of Qin, but also chose the princess of Qin for him, but let him not go up or down, he was crowned the king of Chu, but he was not married.
No one knows what the emperor is thinking, but judging from the power pattern of each prince, the emperor is afraid that he is restraining the prince in order to balance the power between the princes.
These, most of the people present are clear, even if there are a few people who are not long-sighted, they will be told by their friends, Shangguan Yunque also thought of this, so he will resent his father's injustice even more, why he has been picking up their leftovers since he was a child, and one day, he will step on the heads of those who are self-righteous and make them bow down.
Xiangfu, after hearing the news of Bai Li's inquiry, Bai Yuxi took his eyes off the book and said, "It's not strange that Xia Xianran became the crown princess, but I didn't expect the emperor to marry King Qin." After thinking about it for a while, Bai Yuxi understood, this royal ruthlessness, the emperor actually wanted his sons to suppress each other, no wonder the royal people were so precocious, and they immediately thought of Shangguan Kongyue, who looked less than twenty but was very cunning.
"Miss, what are you thinking?" looked at the young lady who was in a daze, shook her hand in front of the young lady's eyes, and thought about how young lady has been in a daze lately, should she find a doctor to see.
"If the eldest lady knew that her opponent would become the crown princess, she would definitely be very angry. Bai Li said with a little schadenfreude.
"It makes sense" Bai Yuxi affirmed, even if Bai Yuxian endured not to do tricks on her these days, she would never easily accept the fact that Xia Xianran became the crown princess.
Bai Yuxi thought well, after getting the news, Bai Yuxian was already in a bad mood recently, and she did get angry for a while, but after calming down, there was no difference from usual, and no one could see that she was angry about Xia Xianran's affairs before.
Bai Yuxian sat in front of the dresser, looked at her white and flawless face from the mirror, and said with a sneer, "What if you become the crown princess, if the crown prince can't become the emperor, it's not for nothing, Xia Xianran, don't think that you won." There was no one else in the room but her, and the scene seemed a little weird.
"Your Highness, King Qin seems to have discovered something, and he is always running to King Yin's mansion, so he should have done the right thing as soon as possible. Ji Yun said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I already have a plan to deal with this matter. Shangguan Kongyue replied expressionlessly.
"Oh, will you come out?" Yue Lao turned out from the side.
"Master, you still remember the last time I was injured, and you still want to know who healed my wounds. ”
"Hmm, remember, who is it?" recalled, and couldn't help asking.
Shangguan Kongyue said with a smile, "The key to this matter is on her, and the master will know who it is at that time." ”
Ji Yun rolled his eyes several times beside him, he had long been accustomed to Shangguan Kongyue's appetite, as long as he didn't want to say it, it would be useless for you to ask for it.
