Chapter 005: The Concubine Selection Ceremony (I)

"Lovesickness is not sad, even if lovesickness people don't know. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info red bean spring acacia tears, acacia in the city to ask acacia! ”

This is a poem written by Liang Zemu, a little-known young poet in the Western Wei Dynasty, which is exactly in response to the worries of Emperor Wei Wen in the dormitory. March is the season for boys and girls to think about spring. Emperor Wei Wendi knew that Dugu Zhu'er would participate in today's concubine selection, and he also knew that with her appearance, temperament and talent, she would definitely stand out soon. But because he failed to prevent Yuwentai from breaking up her family's family relationship, he felt guilty for it.

On the main hall, Ju'er looked around, and the women recruited from the nobles of Chang'an City, but more than 20 people, after the preliminary inspection of the eunuchs, went to more than a dozen people, and the rest were only more than ten people. They are all families of officials with prominent backgrounds, however, those who can compare with Ju'er's illustrious family background are less than two or three, and those with Ju'er's appearance and temperament are incomparable.

The custom of the Western Wei Dynasty, in order to strengthen the blood kinship between the nobles, the nobles intermarried with each other, which is the reason why the Western Wei Dynasty was more united and had stronger military strength than the Eastern Wei and Southern Liang. The royal family generally married the children of nobles, and occasionally recruited civil women, in order not to waste money and money.

Ju'er could have won the game, but she couldn't be happy at all. When I went out, I looked at my mother Mrs. Cui, especially my sister Xiao Jialuo's reluctant expression, and my heart was like a knife. If you have entered the harem since then, you want to see each other again, I don't know how difficult it is. In the selection of concubines this time, there was such a strange phenomenon, the eliminators were all happy, the selected ones were sad and sad, and Julie was very puzzled.

There is a pair of sisters who are the most eye-catching, and they whisper non-stop as soon as they enter the main hall.

"Sister Hui, why are these people happy to be eliminated, while those who are selected are crying and sad?" My sister was curious.

"Sister Xian, have you forgotten the lessons of the dead queen?"

Sister Hui and Sister Xian, their father will also name it, but Xianhui can't see it, just like a pair of happy sisters.

Sister Xian exclaimed: "Are you talking about the Empress Yifu who was killed by Yuwentai?" ”

Sister Xian's exclamation echoed in the hall, echoing endlessly, making it even more terrifying. Sister Hui hurriedly covered Sister Xian's mouth: "You don't want to die?" ”

Sister Xian was anxious: "I want to go home, I don't want to die!" ”

Although Sister Xian's voice was not loud this time, she spoke the hearts of others, making the hall even more sad and sad.

Ju'er's unhappiness is not just that she doesn't want to enter the palace. Since meeting that son, Ju'er can't erase that person's figure, and when she first fell in love, she knew that this might be her longing. However, at that time, Ju'er couldn't boldly ask where Gongzi lived like that Rouran woman, even if she could see each other again, it would be good.

The eunuch solemnly announced: "You have all passed the preliminary assessment, and the next six arts assessment such as poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting, will be selected according to your talent, and the best one will be selected as the queen, and the rest will also be ranked according to their talents, and they can all be concubines!" looked at everyone's crying faces, and was helpless: "What's the matter, the big day is happy for our family!" Now follow me into the harem! ”

"Wait!" As soon as the eunuch was about to turn around and leave, he heard this familiar shout, and sure enough, it was Otsuka Zai Yuwentai! The eunuch had a clever heart in his heart, this old thief must have come to interfere in the selection of concubines, could it be that he saw through his secret Chen Cang's plan to let Ju'er be the queen? As soon as he came, he responded with a smile, and the eunuch turned around, but he was also shocked, and with Yuwentai, there was also a softly dressed woman. This soft woman, although not as dignified and elegant as these aristocratic ladies in Chang'an City, has another desert style.

Ju'er and Yu Jiulu looked at each other, both of them recognized each other, they were very surprised, Ju'er smiled at the soft woman, but she didn't want to, Yu Jiulu's eyes were full of hostility towards Ju'er.

"Otsuka Zai is coming, what are your orders?"

Yuwentai was very arrogant and angry: "This concubine selection ceremony, why didn't my Yuwen family receive the will?" Isn't it that Your Majesty doesn't look down on my Yuwen family? ”

The eunuch hurriedly explained: "It's definitely not, it's just that there are no women to be married in the Otsuka Mansion, so there is no invitation!" ”

Yu Wentai pulled Yu Jiulu in front of him: "Do you think, does this one have qualifications?" ”

The eunuch glanced at Yu Jiulu for a long time: "This young lady is eye-catching, I'm afraid it's not Otsuka's family, right?" ”

Yu Jiulu was unhappy on the side: "You actually said that I was blind?" We met, just on the street, you ......" pointed at Zhu'er: "You and that emperor are still helping this woman bully me!" ”

was still as uneducated as before, and the eunuch muttered in his heart, how could such a woman be qualified to be a concubine. But still smiled and said: "Peerless beauty, peerless beauty!" ”

Yu Wentai: "My father-in-law's vision is the same as that of the old man, this is my righteous daughter Yu Jiulu." In that case, the concubine is also counted as her, right? ”

It's bad, it must be that old thief Yuwen who saw through his plan, and the eunuch was stunned in his heart. If Yu Jiulu is allowed to enter the palace, according to the consistent style of the old thief Yuwen, he will definitely try his best to support his righteous daughter to be the queen, and Ju'er will have no chance.

The eunuch's guess was right, since Li Hu started to let Emperor Wei Wen choose a concubine in the court, Yuwen Hu had already guessed Emperor Wei's intention to rely on Dugu Xin. The uncle and nephew secretly summed up, and it happened that Yu Jiulu was by his side, so they came up with a countermeasure to let Yu Jiulu enter the palace. Yu Jiulu already knew that the son-in-law he liked on the street that day was the current emperor, so he naturally agreed to enter the palace.

The eunuch could only find an excuse to excuse himself: "It's just that Your Majesty has a will, only the noble women of Chang'an City are qualified to be selected as concubines!" ”

Yuwentai: "The eldest princess of Rouran Khan, is this considered a nobleman, I think everyone present will not have the noble status of my family's Lu'er, right?" ”

The eunuch was speechless, so he had to force a smile: "Please invite the princess to join the ranks, come with me!" ”

Yu Jiulu walked to the queue, and everyone was smiling, looking forward to dating Yu Jiulu, not for her princess status, but because she was favored by Yuwentai. There is no doubt that Yu Jiulu can become the queen in the future, and she is the life-saving straw for the future life and death struggle in the harem.

However, in the face of everyone's courtesy, Yu Jiulu disdained it, walked straight to Zhu'er's side, and whispered: "Your name is Ju'er, Dugu Xin's daughter." My father-in-law said, you are the only stumbling block for me to become a queen, let me be especially careful! It seems that we really have fate! ”

Ju'er was very cautious: "Princess, I think you have misunderstood, it was not my intention to enter the palace, and I have no intention of preventing you from becoming the queen!" ”

"If this sentence was said by someone else, I still believe it, but how can I be convinced when you see Your Majesty and say such a thing?"

"I have never met Your Majesty, why did the princess say this?"

"I haven't seen it, you mean to tell me that since I left that day, the son who saved the two of you sisters didn't tell you that he was the current emperor, didn't tell you that he has a deep love for you, didn't tell you that this concubine selection ceremony, Your Majesty is coming for you? This kind of thing can't hide from my stepfather's eyes! ”

"You said that son is Your Majesty?" Juer's heart moved, and joy faintly welled up.

"You are really good at acting, you are deeper than the city government you imagined, I want to learn how much you are capable of!" Yu Jiulu said in a smug voice.
