Mo Wu said: "Brother Shi doesn't need to mind, you just don't want to see the beauty when the time comes, you know, people borrow it to help." ”

Vantage was curious: "What beauty still needs Xiao Wu to tell you like this?" ”

"How can you talk about beauty, Brother Shi is also so vulgar?!"

Mo Wu said a little angrily.

Emperor was wronged, obviously she mentioned it, but she didn't allow herself to ask more.

In April of the fifth year of Fuyue, under the construction of the city, the thin Emperor Hua decided to take a concubine, no matter how many people came to be elected, the people who watched the excitement could be described as thousands of empty alleys, and outside the imperial walls of the palace city, there were crowds of people.

Xia Ranshuang is the only daughter of Xia Shijie, the former secretary of the court, her identity is natural and decent, although she is already twenty or six, in Fuyue, she is already an elderly woman, and her appearance is still outstanding, no one can match, but after all, she used to be the princess of Wei, the king of Wei is dead, she is a widow, and she is inevitably criticized.

It's just that most of the Xia family's families are nobles in the imperial court, and Yang Zixiu, who has outstanding military achievements, strongly argues that women should be valued by their birth lintel and appearance in later generations, so she has to run for election.

Of course, these are also things that Mo Wu does not have.

The day of the election of a parent.

Xia Dye Frost got up early to dress up, silk and satin, jade ring gold hairpin, all lined with its beauty, a qiē properly, only then got on the gorgeous sedan chair in the house, and was carried into the palace by someone.

The emperor chose his relatives, the queen mother was not there, and it was inconvenient for the close ministers to participate, as long as some courtiers from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Officials plus a few colleagues such as Yang Zixiu were present.

Then the emperor and empress, who are supported by tens of thousands of people, sit on the main seat, and other noble and high-ranking ladies sit on both sides.

First of all, the concubine selection ceremony, the first one to play, is Yang Zixiu focused on suppression, these clan ministers naturally know, so although they let their own women report their names, they also gave gift money, not to be in the first place, no one came on the stage for a long time, everyone couldn't help but talk in private, Xia Ranshuang sat quietly in the tent prepared by herself, and her every move was like a fairy descending to earth and not in the world.

Mo Wu was dressed in the queen's court dress and wore a nine-bead phoenix crown, and said coldly: "If no one is running, then today will be over." ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly saw a woman in purple, fluttering on the red carpet of the selection venue, first kneeling on the ground to salute the monarch and ministers, then stood up, and said with a smile: "Brother Emperor, Ziying is willing to come to choose a parent." ”

The woman is only seventeen**, although she has no Alluring appearance, but she is sunny and refreshing, and her heroic posture is scorching, which makes people feel a little more good, plus her silent light skills when she appears on the stage, laymen know that her skills are extraordinary.

If it was someone else, Yang Zixiu would naturally give her a dismount first, but this person turned out to be the sister of the general of Zhenxi, the county lord of Ziying, and also a military general who went into battle with his sister to kill the enemy, Yang Zixiu naturally did not want to insult at will, but he was unwilling to let her suppress Xia Ranshuang's limelight, and asked in a cold voice: "Lord Ziying, why did you come to choose a relative today?" ”

The county lord of Ziying blinked his eyes and said as a matter of course: "Of course, the county lord likes the emperor's brother." ”

This reason is too reasonable, and those relatives and relatives can't help but applaud.

"The county lord likes the emperor?"

Yoko Xiu's face was puzzled.

"That's nature."

Zi Ying's face revealed a little mischievous, and said, "Is there any woman in Fuyue who doesn't like the emperor's brother?" ”

On the stage, Emperor Hua turned sideways and asked the queen beside him, "You invited the county lord?" ”

The queen shook her head.

Vantage asked again: "Then Guanxiling won't rebel again, right?" ”

The queen nodded, "Possibly." ”

Guan Xiling and the county lord of Ziying had a close relationship in the defense of the western county, and the two had a good impression of each other for a long time, but today the county lord of Ziying came to participate in the selection of concubines, which cannot but be said to be weird.

"It's a farce."

Vantage said with a headache.

The queen disagreed, "Your Majesty, this is just the beginning." ”

Yang Zixiu in the audience continued to ask, "The county lord is a hero in the army, and he is used to being arrogant, won't he feel bored in the palace at that time?" ”

"What's that?"

Ziying pursed her lips, "I'll come out to play for a few days when I'm bored, the emperor's brother will have a lot of wives at that time, and I will have a lot of sisters, so it doesn't matter if I go out to play." ”

"But—"

"General Yang, you're too strange, I'm not marrying you, I'm young, I can still fight, if there is an assassin villain, I can also protect the emperor's brother, what's wrong?!"

Then he turned around, looked up slightly at the king who was on the throne, and said, "Isn't that right?" Brother of the Emperor. ”

Emperor Hua couldn't advance or retreat, so he stabilized his momentum and said, "Lord Ziying is polite, please sit down and wait for a while." ”

The county lord Ziying happily found his own tent and sat down, and finally added to Emperor Hua: "Brother Emperor, if you choose me, you have to teach that disobedient sister, Ziying can do it for you." ”

The voice was so loud that no one dared to stand up and refute it.

The officials of the three ministries who were reviewing, and the aristocratic ladies who were full of them had seen too much sick willow frost, and this child actually felt that he liked it a little.

Next, the famous ladies of each family have appeared, like it, don't like it, the emperor's identity symbolizes too many things, but also contains too deep meaning, even if the emperor now favors the queen alone, even if everyone knows that Yangzi Xiuji pushes Xia Dye Frost alone, in the face of the huge temptation, more people choose, temptation, can't choose, the family power is still there, and there is no obstacle to marrying someone else, in case the bird screen is selected, even if it is not favored by the emperor, the glory of the identity is bound to bring more benefits to the family.

How many people in ancient and modern times, and how many families, calculate their lives for this, run around for a lifetime, and even take risks when they are destroyed.

Watching the beautiful appearance of the women of each family, and then retreating and waiting with a silent smile, Mo Wu just sat expressionlessly on the queen's chair, which symbolized the honor and power of Wushang.

In the past, after watching a lot of court battles, she didn't think there was any difference between the queen and the concubine except for the rank, but when she really understood, she knew that how much pressure and rumors did Han Shize need to resist to make her the queen, the concubine, but a concubine with a bit of power, those rich and famous families who were pampered in the family, actually had to fight in full swing, Mo Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Vantage held her hand, which had a variety of gold objects, and Vantage held it so heavily that the jewelry sank into the flesh and pained.

Mo Wu raised his head, and a green dress and white skirt slowly walked into the red carpet, the spring flowers were colorless, the face was smiling, and he slowly walked through the great salute of the monarch and the ministers, bowed his head slightly, and his voice like a yellow oriole cui flute was crisp and contained infinite tenderness: "The people's daughter is the only daughter of Xia Shijie, and the summer is frosty." ”

Mo Wu turned to look at the man beside him, the alluring appearance was not shaken by him, as if he had been just waiting for his own eyes to float by, he was so eager to express that he was not tempted.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Mo Wu held his hand with his backhand.

"Your Majesty."

Other women, Emperor Hua barely glanced at it a few times, Xia Dyed Frost, Emperor Hua just looked at the queen from beginning to end, although Yang Zixiu felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't help but remind him.

Emperor Hua raised his eyebrows, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter with Yangqing?" ”

Yang Zixiu felt that what he said next was inappropriate, and just gestured with his eyes to the lonely Xia Dye Frost on the stage, the stunning woman, who was still tepid at the moment, maintained her beautiful look.

"Miss Xia is lucky, please wait aside."

Vantage is still peaceful.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xia was born in a famous family, her appearance is stunning, she is the best match for the emperor, she has this beauty, and the harem is full."

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu accepted the benefits of the Xia family and General Yang, and found time to come out and speak appropriately.

"There were so many famous ladies just now, Gu Shangshu didn't praise half a sentence, why did Miss Xia read it and Lao Shangshu favored her?"

Mo Wu asked coldly.

"When a man marries a wife, he first asks about his origin, and the one who has the lintel is a good match."

Gu Zhiyu, the chief of the daimyo on the side, said with a smile.

"The county lord of Ziying, Miss Shang, Miss Ding, etc., in front of you, is not the lintel noble?"

Mo Wu knew that he was deliberately ridiculing himself, and he didn't care.

"Niangniang's words are only half of it."

"Oh?"

"Born in the lintel is precious, and a woman's appearance is also the most important thing for a man to choose a wife, both of which are obtained, not a certain genus of Miss Xia, so the old man will say that Miss Xia is a good match for His Majesty."

Mo Wu smiled, "I see, Gu Shangshu has a heart." ”

The county lord of Ziying, who was originally sitting quietly, was not happy, and jumped out and said: "What Lord Gu means is that if you are beautiful, you can marry and remarry, and those of us who look ordinary are not good couples, right?" ”

The county lord of Ziying took the lead in refuting it, and people from other families also started to talk about it.

"The county lord forgives the sins, the old man didn't mean that."

Cai's power in the west is stable and strong, and the two sisters are both famous generals, although they are different in civil and military affairs, but if there is really a conflict, they may not be able to take care of themselves, so they have to keep apologizing.

Zi Ying is straightforward by nature and unrelenting, "What does Master Gu mean, is it appropriate for us women to choose a concubine when the summer dyed frost man is old?" ”

"No, it's not ......"

Gu Zhiyu's head was a little big, and he looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu beside him for help, but Lin Shangen just snorted coldly, and then looked at the royal relatives around him, his face was stern, and no one answered.

"Isn't the selection test not over yet? Lord Gu still waited for the end to be over, and then proposed the yì, and finally let the emperor select it himself. ”

Mo Wu ordered.

The selection continued, and the next few people were not very good, and they had seen it hastily, so please wait.

"Your Majesty, Jing Yao's envoy also recommended a woman who is asking to see her outside the palace."

The housekeeper who managed the whole venue respectfully asked for instructions.

The emperor looked at the queen beside him, and the queen's face was full of false grievances, "How can the respected queen recommend a rival for this palace?" ”

When Chen Yuewen reported the news yesterday, Emperor Hua was by the queen's side, how could he believe that she was innocent?

At this time, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then said, "Xuan." ”

After the sound was transmitted layer by layer, a woman in white walked into the hall alone, with light steps and a snow-white veil on her head.

When he walked to the center of the palace, he stopped, and his graceful posture was extraordinary.
