Chapter 24: Choosing a Concubine (1)

The night fell, so that the sky is covered with a mysterious black veil, there are still two quarters of an hour from the time, the blue country's palace Taihui Hall began to be lively early, busy palace female eunuchs, the last practice in the apse, the palace gate is excited to wait for the palace door to open the official lord and the young ladies with uneasy expressions, compared to the harem is quite deserted.

"Little White"

"Princess, this is the herb you wanted"

"Well, can the outer two be dealt with?"

"Yes, it will be an hour before I wake up. “

"Okay, you keep watch around, and if there is someone, notify me in time"

"Yes"

Lan Bing quietly looked at the medicinal materials in the box, mobilized the spiritual power, the pale green light emanated from his fingers around dozens of medicinal materials, half an hour, the green light slowly faded and finally disappeared, stroked the slightly wet hair on his forehead, in the box where the medicinal materials were originally placed, six brown pills were lying quietly inside, holding one in his hand and putting it on the tip of his nose to smell it, the corners of his lips were hooked, not bad!

Above the Taihui Palace, all the courtiers and their wives and daughters were already seated, under the high position, all the princes and princesses were in place, Lan Zhichen was dressed in gold silk and black clothes and brocade clothes and held a marigold, the face that made women feel ashamed of themselves when they saw it, the majestic and upright body, the seemingly wine-tasting action, inadvertently did not know how many talented women under the bottom fell for it, and put on the most beautiful expression in the hope of getting the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Lan Zhichen ignored this, continued to taste the liquor in his hand, his cold and waveless eyes swept over the girls, and the girls who were swept took a step back in fear and patted their chests carefully, lowered their heads as if they remembered something, and then looked at their Royal Highness the Crown Prince with more enthusiastic eyes, and some even showed a shy smile.

"The emperor has arrived!

"Ministers, sons, see Emperor, Empress, Father, Mother"

"Okay! Ministers, please get up~"

"Father Xie, Emperor!"

"Today is a banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's concubine, I am very happy, and all the ministers do not need to be polite. ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie, Father. “

On the main hall, after three rounds of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively, the singers swayed their waists enchantingly, and the long sleeves waved, bringing bursts of fragrant wind, and there was laughter underneath, but Lan Zhichen was quiet beside him, picked up a very delicate pastry, took a bite, frowned and put it down, it was too sweet! I don't know how Bao'er's little body can eat so many sweet and greasy pastries on weekdays, it is really childlike~When I thought of Bao'er staring at a pair of big watery eyes and mischievously coquettish with him, my heart suddenly softened, and even her facial expressions softened, which made all the girls who were paying attention to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blush and heartbeat, and felt ashamed.

In the high position, the queen, who has been dining elegantly, of course, also noticed the change in Lan Zhichen, whispered something in the emperor's ear, and pointed lightly at a certain place among the ministers, the girl in the finger was wearing a pink violet skirt, and the soft ink hair was wrapped on the top of her head with a green cloud sideburns surrounded by a string of white jade beads, and she was dressed simply and elegantly, and her appearance was not very beautiful among the nobles, but her temperament was outstanding, and she should have been carefully cultivated, and then the emperor nodded lightly, expressing satisfaction, coughed lightly, and waved his hand to let the singers retreat.

"Since today is the prince's concubine selection banquet, it is natural to let all the nobles show one or two, I don't know if there are any noblewomen who are willing to come out on top and be the first" Soon after the queen's words fell, a girl in a red brocade dress got up and bowed slightly to the first one, "The courtier Rong Yuyi, the daughter of the military department, wish...... I am willing to dance a sword for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and forget Your Majesty's permission."

"Okay!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Rong Yuyi, who had obtained the approval, took the sword presented by the palace maid, and stood in the hall, his clear water eyes secretly looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, but accidentally bumped into his eyes, and in an instant, his beautiful face turned crimson, and he forgot how to move.

"Cough!" I don't know who in the crowd coughed lightly, reminding Rong Yuyi of the situation at the moment, the mocking eyes of the surrounding nobles, looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, and found that the other party did not show an unswerving look, his eyes had shifted elsewhere, and he breathed a sigh of relief, a group of uninformed women, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not notice, Rong Yuyi, for this opportunity to dance the sword in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, you have begged your father and Brother Haoyu for a long time, come on!

Drawing out the silver sword, the sharp sword body surrounded the faint light around the body under the illumination of the moonlight, good sword! The ministers who had studied weapons a little sighed slightly in their hearts! Rong Yuyi bowed lightly to the palace maid waiting on the side, the music sounded, restrained his expression, took a deep breath, and the momentum around his body was fully collected, like a sharp weapon.

The red modified women's Luo skirt, in the case of perfectly outlining the woman's perfect figure, can also stretch her limbs freely, there are no gorgeous moves to attract attention, simple and sharp movements, the woman's serious and cautious expression, tight lips, it can be seen that she is very serious and persistent in martial arts.

Lan Zhichen looked at Rong Yuyi's moves, a little familiar, turned his head to look at a certain place in the lower seat, a handsome man in a blue brocade robe, bowed to him gently, bowed slightly, and returned his gaze to the woman dancing the sword, if Bao'er could have such a healthy body, he would also beg to learn martial arts!

The audience had been watching the nobles of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and naturally observed its changes, and the gaze cast on Rong Yuyi was even more jealous.

At the end of the music, a sword dance was finished, Rong Yuyi's white forehead was already full of crystals, and he was about to salute the emperor, but was interrupted by the queen.

"Although this palace doesn't know martial arts, looking at Miss Rong's sword dance, it's really heroic, people can't take their eyes off, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels?"

As soon as Rong Yuyi heard the queen's words, her already ruddy face suddenly turned red, and her expectant eyes lingered on Lan Zhichen's face

"Not bad," it would be nice if Bao'er danced the sword

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good impression of the girl of the Rong family, worthy of being the daughter of Rong Qing, come here, reward! hehe" The delicate and noble makeup on the queen's face, but the smile was inexplicably frightening, and the eyes of looking at Rong Yuyi were even more cold and abnormal, and the man in blue who sat down saw the queen's eyes, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked, his face was calm and waveless, and his eyes were full of worry.

And Rong Yuyi, who was hit by the two words of His Royal Highness the Prince, had a pair of beautiful eyes that were half-hidden shyly, and he did not have the slightest consciousness of being remembered. He bowed and thanked him, stroked his pounding heart, and sat back in his seat.
