Chapter 121: Allure

The weather on the day of the draft is always very good, the autumn is high and cool, and the day in September is so far away, revealing a kind of pale white, red palace walls, layer upon layer, I don't know how far to extend out. The yellow tiles and red walls of the hall seemed to bring a layer of golden smoke to the surrounding air, with a glimmer of bright gossamer full of floating and timely relief.

After the primary, the girls were red and willow green, with graceful bodies and beads, standing in a neat line in the square in front of the palace. The sun has not yet risen high, it looks clear and thin, shining on people's bodies, without a trace of warmth.

Sui'er is still a light outfit, a light green wide-sleeved wide top, embroidered with Lingyun patterns, and the patterns on the gauze are woven with dark gold threads, embellished in the middle of the cloud patterns, which is not ostentatious, but extravagant. On his arm, he held a long cigarette green yarn, and jumped off with gold and jade to firmly fix it. A pale cyan skirt of the ground to stay in the fairy, dyed with gold vanilla, pure and bright, the texture is light and soft, the color is light and bright, and exudes the fragrant fragrance of flowers and trees, the skirt is embroidered with the gold and silver thread as thin as the tire everywhere into the pattern of the sea palm of the branches, and the bottom of the skirt is decorated with dozens of pearls, and the gold and silver threads reflect each other, which is unspeakably expensive.

She was tall and tall, standing very prominent among the women, with a comb on her head, and only four white jade prismatic hairpins on the bun, which were wrapped into the shape of a pair of butterflies around the orchid, reflecting her ink-like green silk as if it was about to overflow. The center of the eyebrows is pasted with a peony flower in the middle of the sea pearl, the flower is as bright as fire, the sea pearl is like a cloud, the golden-red luster on the heavy petals, the clusters are like red clouds on the top, charming and delicate, and her skin like clotted fat is more shining.

This dress is charming but not demonic. It's beautiful and natural, and it's just right. It seems that the surrounding girls are dark.

Sui'er painted Yuanshan Dai today, with a thin rouge on her face, her eyebrows were red, and her face seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.

"Enter!" After the singer sang, the women lined up to enter. Quietly did not dare to make a sound. The main hall is lit with Soho incense, which looks solemn and atmospheric. The women were brought into the corner of the temple and waited, just as they had been the last time. Liu Zhao still let the ministers participate. However, the non-palace is the largest palace in the palace, and Liu Zhao chose this palace this time for the purpose of attaching importance to this concubine selection ceremony.

Unlike the last time, the emperor grew up. There was also a queen beside her, Yin Xiaohe dressed up to attend the concubine selection ceremony. She boasted that her seventeen-year-old self was as beautiful as any beauty, but she knew that there was one person this time, that was Deng Sui, but. Deng Sui has been filial piety for three years, and he will never be glamorous, with this idea. She deliberately dressed herself. When Liu Zhao saw her, his eyes lit up. smiled: "The queen is so beautiful today!" ”

Liu Zhao took Yin Xiaohe's hand and entered the Fei Palace, the tension in his heart was unprecedented, he once again saw Sui'er's name in the list of concubines, or the first, but those two words burned his heart like fire. It's been three years, he's been waiting for her for three years, and this year it's time for her to come, and if he doesn't come again, he'll never see her again. He asked Cai Lun and Zheng Zhong, and learned that Sui'er's entry into the palace was set in childhood, and it is said that when the Empress Dowager Dou saw the three-year-old Deng Sui, she was surprised by her beauty in ice and snow, so she decreed that Deng Sui must enter the palace as a concubine when she became an adult, and promised it to Liu Zhao that year.

If according to the agreement back then, Sui'er would have been his wife for a long time, but he spent three years waiting for her arrival. The bell in the hall rang, accompanied by the footsteps of him and Yin Xiaohe, he imagined, what his Sui'er would be like, the two hurried meetings back then, had been shocked by her beauty, how beautiful would she be now? He glanced at Yin Xiaohe, today's deliberate dress is very prominent among her many concubines, Li'er has some similarities with Sui'er, will it be like this? That's supposed to be glamorous.

sat down, Liu Zhao's eyes looked around the audience, hundreds of officials had arrived, Sangong stood at the front, Liu Qing stood above Sangong, under his seat, his head was lowered, I don't know what he was thinking. Seeing Liu Zhao sit down, the hundred officials knelt down, and then shouted long live. Liu Zhao's voice was clear, and he said lightly: "Get up, today is still to let all the ministers come to watch the ceremony, which means that everyone understands, one is to be fair, and the other is to see the talents and virtues of all the concubines." Now that I have been sealed this year, the Queen's opinion is also very important. King Qinghe, today's ceremony, you will preside over it! ”

Liu Qing's body shook, he had just seen Sui'er among the women who entered in the stream, she was so beautiful that people couldn't look at her directly, she was already afraid of weakness in body and mind, and her heart hurt like being pierced by ten thousand arrows, and her breathing was not smooth.

Hearing Liu Zhao's words, it was even more difficult for him to hold himself, but the emperor's will could not be disrespected. Do you want to see Sui'er enter the palace with your own eyes, and send her to the emperor's side with your own hands? He wanted to tell Liu Zhao a lot, he thought in his heart, the person he couldn't forget was Sui'er, ask the emperor to give them a marriage. But now, I am sorry for Sui'er. got married and married the princess, Sui'er is embarrassed, and Da'e and Xiao'e are embarrassed!

"Your Majesty, I, I'm a little unwell today! Let the servant preside over this ceremony! Liu Qing saluted and said.

"Brother Huang, what's wrong? This is my big deal, but looking at your face, it's really not good, can't you really preside over it for me? Liu Zhao looked at Liu Qing and felt that he was particularly strange today.

"I, okay, since that's the case, the minister will change the rules, start with the latter one, and move forward in turn, so that it will be fairer to all the women who have been selected, what does the emperor think?" He said this because he wanted to see Sui'er appear later, and see her enter the palace later.

Liu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since you are the presiding officer of the imperial brother, let it be yours!" He thought in his heart that if Sui'er didn't come, he wouldn't be disappointed at the beginning like the first time, so it's okay.

Liu Qing took the roster, called the names of the show girls one by one, still in groups of five, and stood in front of Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao saw that they were all beautiful, and when he commented, he also asked Yin Xiaohe's opinion. Yin Xiaohe doesn't care, it is a pleasure to look at a woman who is not as good as herself, so sometimes she also makes ideas for Liu Zhao. But when the last five, when Deng Sui's name was called, three people. Liu Zhao, Liu Qing, and Yin Xiaohe all held their breath and waited for the five girls to go to the hall.

From afar, Liu Zhao was not disappointed, he saw five figures walking towards him, but at this time, there was a buzzing sound in the hall, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and some officials behind him were already watching. in light and shadow. He couldn't see what was going on, but he knew that the discussion of the people was not without reason, but when he saw that it was standing on the left. The tall Deng Suishi was stunned, and his heart felt as if he was being hit by a hammer and wanted to jump out of his chest. Sui'er is so beautiful!

He knew it had to be Sui'er. still has the impression he remembers, but now that she has grown up. The whole body exudes the taste of maturity, delicate, sweet, even to the extreme.

Seven feet is the dream expectation of all women. But Sui'er has reached this standard, her facial features are so delicate that it is difficult to pick out a single flaw, and the skin on her face is as white as ice and snow. The memory person couldn't help but touch. Any word to describe beauty is difficult to describe Sui'er's beauty.

Liu Qing couldn't speak anymore, he just stood there quietly. It's been three years, and the last time he saw Sui'er was at her father's funeral, where she ignored herself. Later, holding her in her arms, she never let him look at her face. Unexpectedly, three years later, Sui'er was so beautiful that it was impossible to breathe.

Yin Xiaohe was also stunned, Sui'er was so beautiful, the nobility, calmness, and beauty that she brought by herself, she seemed to be like a grass in the mountains, so insignificant that she couldn't see it clearly. Is that a stunning posture still the little sister who used to joke with her classmates?

The discussion in the hall was louder, and those who couldn't see it forgot that they were still in the hall, and they squeezed forward to watch, and the Taiwei Ding Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted. But I can't help but look at Sui'er, beautiful, everyone will yearn for it, not to mention such a charming city.

Liu Zhao was speechless, his eyes couldn't move, he only lingered on Sui'er's body, he didn't even look at the four girls, in fact, there was no need to look at it, who could compare to such a beautiful girl?

The scene became uncontrollable for a moment. Sui'er smiled faintly, like a beautiful scenery, she raised her eyes to look at Liu Zhao, without glancing at Liu Qing next to her, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and there was a hooking spirit between her expectations, which made people's hearts jump suddenly.

She bent her knees slightly, and said: "The little girl Deng Sui, who is sixteen years old, see Your Majesty, long live the emperor, and the queen mother is a thousand years old." Her voice was soft, and when she listened carefully, she felt that the sky was wide and calm, which made people's hearts relax, and they all let out a long breath, and everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on her alone, even Cai Lun's mouth was open for a long time.

He has been in the palace for two generations, he thinks that the most beautiful is the first emperor's Empress Dowager Dou and Liang Guiren, although the current queen is beautiful, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable, but he didn't expect to meet such a beauty, that kind of charm, it has not been since ancient times.

He coughed and reminded Liu Zhao, who had already looked stupid. Liu Zhaocai seemed to wake up from a dream, shook his head and sighed: "So beautiful, worthy of the first beauty in the world!" ”

Cai Lun smiled and said: "The emperor personally named Deng Sui the first beauty in the world!" ”

Deng Sui was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and bowed his head to thank him. Yin Xiaohe's heart is like being nailed with a stinger, she is the queen, but the emperor named her the first beauty in the world, what is she? But looking at Sui'er again, it was still so beautiful that it made people sigh, and I knew that I couldn't compare, so I had to turn my head and sulk.

Liu Zhao's gaze still refused to take a single inch off Deng Sui, he only wanted to watch it for a long time and never leave. He asked Liu Qingdao: "Brother Huang, what do you think I should seal her?" ”

Liu Qing glanced at Yin Xiaohe, he understood that the general trend had gone, and whoever saw Deng Sui's beauty would be attracted, and anyone was the same, so he had to sigh: "Your Majesty, I also told you about Sui'er, with her virtue, intelligence, and beauty, it is a grievance to be a nobleman." ”

Liu Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, make Deng Sui a nobleman and give the West Palace to live!" That's it for today's concubine selection ceremony! He was about to say that he would leave the palace, but when he saw one of the ministers coming out of the crowd, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers think it is impossible!" ”

Liu Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked closely, and saw that it was He Chang, his face was unhappy, and asked, "Why not?" ”

He Chang glanced at Deng Sui and said: "The emperor also saw it, this woman is very beautiful, the ministers of the whole palace, and even the eunuchs can't help but look at her a few more times, the ministers are not lustful, and their hearts are beating like drums, it can be seen that such a woman is really a disaster, if the emperor accepts it as a harem, and gives the West Palace to live, not to mention what the queen thinks in her heart, the minister will be the first to disagree." This woman must be the likes of Daji, and if she wants to influence my Han world, please give this woman to death to correct the country. ”

Yin Xiao and Daxi looked at He Chang, but they didn't expect this person to help him speak, and he wanted to kill Deng Sui.

Liu Zhao's face changed suddenly, he was extremely angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Nonsense, she is a little girl, she is beautiful, is it her fault?" He was given death only because of his beauty, and he has not been there since ancient times. Stand down, and stop talking nonsense. ”

He Chang was not afraid, and said: "Your Majesty, the eyes that looked at her just now were almost obsessed, she must be confused by this woman, she must be a demon girl, if you don't kill it, you can't do it!" ”

"You! Someone came, and He Chang was blown out! ”

Deng Sui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say!" (To be continued)
