CHAPTER XVI

"I heard that among these candidates for women, there are so many of them," she took a few steps to catch up, "one is Wu Yuejun, the granddaughter of General Wucheng Wu, the general of the Northwest. After speaking, she secretly glanced at the whisper, and saw that he had no reaction, so she strengthened her tone and continued to introduce the next one: "This second is favored by the daughter of a rich family in the city, although there is no prominent background, but it is better than the appearance of outstanding, it is said that there is a sinking fish and a goose, a shy flower in the closed moon, and the temperament is gentle and obedient, before the election, many famous families, the children of the official eunuchs went to propose!" ”

She glanced at him again, still disapproving, so she mustered up her spirit and continued: "This third one, presumably the prince should be familiar with, that is Fu Yuan, the granddaughter of the old prime minister Fu Jing, that is a famous talented girl in our capital, not only good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting

Tong, and the wisdom is outstanding, many things that everyone doesn't understand, she said a reason with a glance, and even the old prime minister's several emergency measures in the court were ordered by her, which can be described as a goddess. ”

Xiao Yu's pace slowed down a little, and she said teasingly: "The princess recommended me to the position, could it be that she received the benefits of others?" ”

"What did the prince say," Xiao Han hurriedly waved his hand, "As the main room, the concubine should be broad-minded, virtuous and virtuous, and anyone who can make the palace of the king of Yu spread out should be enthusiastically supported." ”

He stood and raised his eyebrows: "Really?" Why is the princess still shouting in her own house for fear of being overheaded, her lips are cold, and so on, why did she turn her back and become so understanding? ”

She was stunned for a moment, and said indignantly: "You actually eavesdropped on other people's speeches!" ”

"Eavesdropping?" He snorted in his nose, "The entire palace is mine, stop wherever you go, how can you eavesdrop, it's obviously your lion's roar." ”

Xiao Han rolled his eyes, and after thinking about it, now was not the time to quarrel with him, so he changed his smiling face again: "Since the prince will tell the truth, then I won't hide it, you want to take a concubine, emotionally speaking, I have no objection, but I don't want the prince to marry a powerful character to come in, disturbing my peaceful life." ”

These words made his slightly soothing face stiffen again, "This king thinks that you have disturbed the peaceful days in this mansion." ”

"Lord Wang, you should understand me after getting along for so long, I, Lu Xiaohan, have no desire to compete for favor, so naturally I will not do any despicable means against your concubine, the prince only chooses the woman he likes, as long as he has a gentle temperament, and does not violate the river water with my well water after entering the door, I will——"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yu roared sharply, and her parrot-like mouth was immediately closed tightly, "It is natural for this king to take a concubine, when will it be your turn to negotiate the conditions with a woman?" I see that you have lived a comfortable life for a few days, and you are so dizzy that you can't find the southeast and northwest! ”

Lu Xiaohan pursed his lips and spoke around his tongue.

"You—" Seeing this, he was about to continue the reprimand, but suddenly there was a stung in the neck as if it had been stung by something, and the stinging pain was spicy and itchy.

"Don't move!" Lu Xiaohan shouted, and before he could react, the fingers stained with her saliva had already smeared his neck. He wanted to push her away, but was blocked by her backhand, "You don't move for me!" ”

Somehow, he, a man with an iron heart and a high position, after hearing these child-like words, his heart softened for no reason, and the love that was about to attack also calmed down and was at her mercy.

"How? Don't itch it! Xiao Han tilted his head and asked.

He lightly touched the place where the insect had bitten, and sure enough, it was no longer painful. He asked a little awkwardly, "What kind of method are you, it's weird and disgusting." ”

"I don't know where to find it, but it's a useful home remedy because human saliva has the ability to disinfect. Okay, lord, it's not early, I'll go back to the house to rest first. With that, she staggered back.

"Lu Xiaohan."

She turned around, "Huh? ”

The scene of her turning around this time suddenly froze in his eyes like a picture scroll, the moonlight was bright, splashing a layer of silver light around her, her figure was swaying and graceful, her headdress, clothing and makeup were not superfluous, standing in the midst of thousands of flowers, with a smile on her face, and starlight in her eyes, at this moment, she was both bright and elegant.

"Lord Wang?" He was standing in the dark, Lu Xiaohan couldn't see his expression clearly, and he was wondering why he suddenly fell silent.

"The three women you just mentioned, you...... Who do you want this king to marry? In the darkness of the night, his voice was eerily lonely.

Xiao Han was stunned, he never thought that he would ask such a question, so he said "Huh?" "Yes.

He stepped out of the darkness, and in the faint light of the night, the outline became more distinct. "Since I have no interest in them, it is better to be a favor to you, you will be safe, and this king can have clean ears!"

"The prince is so wise and powerful!" Xiao Han slapped his face and jumped back, Fang Cai's harmonious beauty was instantly shattered, and he couldn't help frowning.

"According to my many inquiries, the three who have the greatest hope of passing the screening in the end are the three just now, and among the three, I recommend Fu Yuan, the granddaughter of the old prime minister."

Xiao Yu was a little surprised, "Why her?" Didn't you say that the most kind person was the Miss Zhou family? ”

She smiled slyly, "The prince doesn't understand women, no matter how kind and gentle a woman is, she will be jealous of love and go crazy for love, but wise women will never be like this, because they will weigh the price, calculate the gains and losses, have reason and patience, and the most important point is that smart women often have self-esteem that cannot be betrayed, and they reject everything that is forced and charitable, so that many despicable means and intrigues will not come in handy." ”

After hearing this, he thought for a moment and agreed: "It's okay, a wise woman doesn't cause trouble. ”

That night, the two decided on a concubine.

Sure enough, three of the five young ladies who stood out after layers of screening were the three inquired by Lu Xiaohan. After a number of inspections such as etiquette, talent, and female virtue, this final round was personally selected by the king of language.

On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was transparent, and the garden of Yuwangfu made a special trip to vacate a fast open space, which was elegantly and chic. At the request of Xiaoyu, the queen mother, who originally wanted to actively participate, did not attend the intervention, so this final election was also much more comfortable, Xiaohan glanced at him, although he did not respond, but the two had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

The first to appear is the heroic Wu Yuejun, dressed in martial clothes, a man with buns, clear eyebrows, crisp expression, and a temperament very different from ordinary daughters.

Wu Yuejun reported to his home first, although he came to apply for the election, he did not lower his eyebrows at all, but held his head high, and looked directly at the whisper in the pavilion.

Xiao Yu greeted her moon-like eyes, and said coldly: "The old general Wu and this king have been friends for many years, and I have heard him mention you, the granddaughter of a heroine among women, and I really live up to my name when I see it today." ”
