Emperor Xuanyuan Chen wore a yellow robe covering his whole body, and the golden dragon on his chest was lifelike. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is over 50 years old, he is still radiant and majestic, revealing a natural imperial domineering spirit in his gestures.

Queen Bai Huixin was dressed in a bright red mopping robe, embroidered with a lifelike phoenix with wings ready to fly, a head plate with a Lingyun bun, gold tassels hanging down her shoulders, a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin inserted between her temples, a well-maintained face, no specific age, and a decent smile on her face.

Xuanyuan Haoling wore a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair and a yellow four-clawed python robe. The sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, the eyes are like autumn waves, and a pair of apricot eyes are like a galaxy, flashing with the light of anticipation at this time: after so many days, I can finally see her.

The emperor and queen walked into the hall side by side, and walked to the right seat without hurrying and sat down, Xuanyuan Haoling sat at the lower right of the emperor, his eyes shuttling back and forth in the crowd.

From the moment Liu Xuanqin was from Xuanyuan Haoling, her heart was pounding, and she looked at the man sitting on the high seat obsessively, and a blush appeared on her fair face. But seeing that Xuanyuan Haoling was not looking at him properly, he was secretly a little lost in his heart.

Everyone curtsied in unison: "The courtiers have seen the emperor, the queen, and His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"Get up," Emperor Xuanyuan Chen said majestically

"Yes," the women said in unison

The queen had a kind face, looked at the nobles, smelled the smell of fat powder all over the house, frowned slightly, and saw the gorgeous Liu Xuanqin in the first row at a glance, and her face couldn't help but be a little gloomy. When he saw the elegant and beautiful Yu Feifei in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and his face showed a satisfied expression.

Xuanyuan Haoling looked at everyone in the hall and found that there was no figure that he was thinking about, but he saw the second daughter Yu Feifei. remembered that when I saw her for the first time in the Taishou Mansion, I knew that Yu Xinxun treated her as well as her second daughter Yu Feifei, and now that I think about it, I must have asked Yu Feifei to enter the palace to choose a concubine for her. Yu Xinxun was really bold, he dared to disobey his own will, thinking of this, a touch of anger appeared on Junyi's extraordinary face.

The queen said softly: "Although today is to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you don't have to be nervous, just behave well as usual." ”

"Yes, Queen"

The emperor looked around at everyone, turned to the empress beside him, and spoke:

"Queen, I still have some twists and turns to deal with, so you can arrange it here."

"Then the emperor will go up, just leave it to the concubines here."

"Hmm"

"The concubine sends the emperor"

"The son sends his father to the emperor"

"Courtiers send off the emperor"

The emperor left in a shout, surrounded by the guards and eunuchs.

Seeing that the emperor was walking away, the queen looked at the chief eunuch on the side and nodded.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch hurriedly walked to the center and preached loudly: "Please go to the inner room to check." ”

With that, two palace maids came into the main hall and led everyone into another room.

The originally spacious and bright room was divided into three small rooms by dozens of screens. Outside the screen, three women dressed in dark green palace clothes stood in a row with solemn faces, and the aunt who led the way said with a straight face: "Please come in and strip and check in order." ”

Seeing that the leading aunt was so serious, the group couldn't help but be a little scared, and they didn't dare to step forward because they shirked each other.

Seeing this, the leading aunt's face turned pale and a little impatient: "Please also ask the ladies to hurry up, let the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince wait for a long time, you can't afford to make amends." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuanqin walked out of the crowd and walked to the screen first. Seeing this, Yu Feifei stepped forward not to be outdone. Shen Wanqiu saw that Yu Feifei was gone, so she followed.

Someone took the lead, and the rest also stepped forward, but was stopped by the leading aunt and said expressionlessly:

"Please wait here for the rest of the nobles, and when the nobles in front of you have finished checking, you will come forward in order. ”

Seeing that the three screens were full, the rest of the nobles had no choice but to respond in unison: "Yes"

Seeing this, the leading aunt turned around with satisfaction and took the other two aunts into the small room for inspection. After a few people finished checking, the rest of the noble ladies stepped forward.

Half an hour later, everyone finally finished checking.

Under the careful scrutiny of age, body shape, appearance, smell, and body, in the end, those who remained, including Liu Xuanqin, Yu Feifei was less than ten, and the rest were eliminated.

The leading aunt returned to the main hall with the nine people left behind, and said respectfully to the two people sitting on it:

"Back to the queen mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid has been checked, and these are the few nobles left. ”

The queen looked at the nine people with dignified manners, and then saw Yu Feifei in the crowd, with an approving smile on her face.

"Well, well done"

"Slave and maid thank the queen for praise" The leading aunt smiled like a chrysanthemum on her face, which was very different from the appearance when she faced the noble girl at the beginning.

The queen waved her hand to signal the leading aunt to step down, and then said to a few people in the audience: "Now you can show your talents, whoever can satisfy His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the palace will be able to enter the East Palace." ”

Hearing this, several people had a trace of excitement on their faces, if they entered the East Palace and the prince ascended the throne in the future, then even if they were not queens, they would be concubines.

Yu Feifei had a gentle and decent smile on her face, and when she saw that other people were either playing the piano or composing poems, her heart suddenly swelled with pride: I am the first talented woman in the capital, who can compare with me in terms of poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

Liu Xuanqin looked at Xuanyuan Haoling, and saw that he still refused to look at himself, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart. After a noble girl in front of her finished performing, she went on stage and sat in front of the guzheng. The slender jade fingers plucked the strings, the sleeves fluttered like a dance, and the tune was unrestrained and deep and lingering, it was actually a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

The more passionate the sound of the piano, the more ugly the queen's face became, and before the song was finished, the queen slapped the back of the chair angrily and stood up from her seat:

"Presumptuous, as a woman, she is so shameless, playing such a tune, do you still understand etiquette and shame?"

The sound of the piano stopped, and the hall was silent, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to move.

Liu Xuanqin hurriedly knelt down: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the courtier, the courtier, the courtier is just a momentary love, the courtier ........"

"Enough, so regardless of the occasion, I don't know my identity, how can I be worthy of entering the main East Palace and retreating from the main palace!"

Hearing this, Liu Xuanqin's originally gorgeous face showed a trace of panic, and said hurriedly:

"The courtiers know their mistakes, the courtiers know their mistakes, the queen, please give the courtiers another chance, the courtiers will never ....... again"

"Stand down for Hongu!"

Liu Xuanqin saw the anger on the queen's face, and knew that she was angry with her because the eldest prince's cousin took the opportunity to anger her. looked at the prince, who was silent from beginning to end and indifferent to his scolding, and his heart swelled with deep grievances and disappointments.

Holding back tears, he said, "Courtier....... Compliance ........"

He bowed his head to the two of them, and then got up and walked outside the hall. Outside the gate, pearl-like tears burst out of my eyes.

Yu Feifei stood in the crowd with her head down, her face showing a trace of pain: why was her whole body suddenly so itchy, as if thousands of ants were crawling, she wanted to scratch but didn't dare to move, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

Seeing Liu Xuanqin leaving, I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart: Even if you are the first beauty, if you can't get the queen's favor, you still can't enter the East Palace after all. Thinking that his biggest opponent has left, it doesn't seem so uncomfortable.

The queen looked majestic, and when she saw that everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to come out, she said:

"Let's keep trying"

"Yes"

After the queen sat down, the ladies continued to show their talents, and soon in the end, only Yu Feifei remained.

When the queen saw that it was Yu Feifei, a smile appeared on her face.

Yu Feifei smiled at the corner of her lips, her face was elegant and calm, but the fine beads of sweat on her forehead were revealed, she was enduring great pain at this time, her whole body was extremely itchy, and the itchy place was still burning, as if it was scorched by fire.

Although I don't understand how I can suddenly be like this, I think that this moment is at an important juncture. As long as you pass this level and let the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince be satisfied with their talents, then they will be the crown princess. Thinking of this, he stood up and said to the queen and Xuanyuan Hao Ling Fu:

"The queen, His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers are not talented, I want to paint a picture, and I hope that the mother and His Royal Highness will not dislike it. ”

Xuanyuan Haoling condensed Yu Feifei below, his expression was not obvious, but his eyes were gloomy.

The queen was a little dissatisfied when she saw that Xuanyuan Haoling did not speak. Seeing Yu Feifei so polite, she liked it even more, and said with a smile:

"What's your name, and who's the noblewoman?"

"The courtier's name is Yu Feifei, from the Taishou Mansion"

"Oh, but Yu Feifei, who is known as the first talented woman in the capital?"

"That's all wrong praise from everyone, and the courtiers deserve it," Yu Feifei pretended to be modest.

"Since she is a famous talented woman in the capital, her paintings must be excellent, and it depends on what kind of surprise you bring to this palace. ”

Seeing that the queen appreciated herself so much, Yu Feifei was proud for a while, but her face was not obvious:

"The courtiers will live up to the expectations of their mothers"

After that, he walked to a few tables in the center of the stage, endured the discomfort all over his body, and leaned over to take the pen and paint seriously.

In less than a moment, a picture of a rich peony is presented in front of you, with flowers blooming, beautiful posture, red and bright like fire. There are also several colorful butterflies standing on the petals, with their wings slightly spread, as if they are about to dance. The whole painting is vivid and can be called a masterpiece.

Yu Feifei looked at the painting with satisfaction, and found that there were no shortcomings, so she put down the pen in her hand. After the ink was a little dry, he turned to the queen and Xuanyuan Haoling and walked towards him.

Holding the scroll with both hands, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Queen Qiyu, His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers have been prepared."

The queen nodded to the leading aunt on the side, and the leading aunt walked towards Yu Feifei, picked up the picture scroll, and suddenly screamed:

"Ah...... Hell......."

The leading aunt pointed at Yu Feifei with a frightened face, sat on the ground, and the picture scroll in her hand also fell to the side.

Yu Feifei didn't react for a while, and looked blankly at the painting she had just made on the ground. I wanted to reach out and take it, but I heard the leading aunt shout:

"Don't come, don't come"

"Presumptuous, dare to make a loud noise in the hall," Xuanyuan Hao said sharply

The leading aunt knelt and crawled towards the prince, pointed at Yu Feifei and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, her face ...... Her face ......."

Seeing this, the queen also had some doubts:

"What the hell is going on to be so alarming?"

"Queen, look.... Look at her face......."

Hearing this, Yu Feifei, who was originally standing, raised her head, and there was an exclamation in the hall, everyone retreated, and the queen and Xuanyuan Haoling were also startled.

I saw that Yu Feifei's originally elegant and beautiful face was already red and swollen, scattered with many large and small blisters, her eyes narrowed into a slit, her lips were swollen, and she was extremely ugly. The neck, chest, hands, and everywhere you can see are red, swollen and blistered, which is very scary to look at.

The queen stood up and pointed at Yu Feifei and said angrily: "Bold, you dare to come to participate in the selection of concubines because of hidden diseases!"

Yu Feifei saw that everyone was scared of her, and when she looked down, she saw that her white hands were all red and swollen, with many blisters. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch his face, and found that his face was the same, and he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly knelt down:

"The queen's mother, the courtiers don't have it, and the courtiers don't have hidden diseases. ”

"No, what is going on with you?!"

"Courtier......... The courtiers don't know ..........."

"Presumptuous, a woman with a hidden illness even wants to choose the crown princess, if you really enter the East Palace, you will be harmed by the royal blood in the future. ”

Endangering the royal bloodline is a big crime, seeing the queen say this, Yu Feifei shook her head desperately and cried to the queen:

"The courtiers don't dare, the queen, the courtiers・・・・・・・ the courtiers really don't have any hidden diseases・・・・・・・"

"Shut up, looking at your face, I'm very disgusted, get down!"

Seeing that the queen looked disgusted, and completely lost her attitude at the beginning, Yu Feifei shrank and cried uncontrollably, how could she run for the crown princess with her own appearance? Thinking of the prince, Yu Feifei kowtowed to Xuanyuan Haoling on the side:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers have no hidden diseases, there really isn't!"

Xuanyuan Haoling condensed at Yu Feifei and said coldly: "Even if you don't have a hidden disease, this palace will not choose you as a concubine." ”

Hearing this, Yu Feifei suddenly collapsed to the ground, saw the disgusted and disdainful eyes around her, and fainted in front of her.

The queen looked at Yu Feifei who fell to the ground, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she turned to Xuanyuan Haoling and said:

"Ling'er, now you see ・・・・・・・・・"

"Now that the son is not in the mood to continue to choose a concubine, the queen mother will look at it," he said, and strode out of Chuxiu Palace.

"Ling'er ・・・・・・・・・"

Seeing that Xuanyuan Haoling had already walked away, the queen sighed in her heart, looked at the few noble ladies below and Yu Feifei who was lying down, and frowned:

"Today's concubine selection is over, you all go back"

"Queen Mother, but ・・・・・・" The nobles heard this, and they were unwilling.

"Okay, the prince didn't take a fancy to you, even if this palace includes you in his East Palace, presumably he won't touch you, so retreat!"

The queen said so, and even if everyone was reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice but to say: "Yes, the queen, the courtiers are retiring."

After everyone left, the chief eunuch pointed to Yu Feifei on the ground and said:

"Niangniang, look at this Miss Yu・・・・・・"

The queen glanced at Yu Feifei with disdain, and said coldly: "It turns out that she is not bad, and her identity is also worthy of the crown prince, and the palace also intends to let her enter the East Palace, but now it seems that the palace has taken a look!"

"Fortunately, I found it in time, if I really entered the East Palace, it would be difficult to do"

"Hmph, ask someone to send her back to Taishou Mansion"

"Yes"

After the personal palace maid went out, the personal palace maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward and helped the queen to leave Chuxiu Palace.
