Chapter 779: Selection
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Wu coldly, but she didn't expect her to be embarrassed to sit next to the emperor. I don't look at what she came from.
The emperor and Concubine Wu actually had some hard work along the way, and they also rested for most of the day before they came back to their senses.
I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to prepare any banquet in a hurry, in fact, it was not necessary, but the Empress Dowager was tossed out, if the emperor refused, wouldn't it help the Empress Dowager's face, and there was no way for the two of them to come to participate.
But how does this banquet feel weird? The Empress Dowager, who hosted the banquet, had a cold face throughout the whole process, and the concubines below looked at the only man present, the emperor, and the princess Wan who was flattering and threw her eyes felt uncomfortable.
I really think that these ladies are too ignorant, and they don't understand the emperor's preferences at all, if the emperor is really like other men, he can't hold it when he sees a woman's flattery, and he wants to hug him to bed, then it's not the emperor.
Gonggong Wan smiled and glanced at the emperor and Concubine Wu, silently crying for these concubines.
The meals in the palace are indeed delicious, and Concubine Wu uses them in large gulps, but the eating appearance is very elegant. The concubines below saw Concubine Wu's joy, and their hearts were even more angry, everyone one by one in order to see the emperor and maintain a slender figure, they had not eaten a piece of meat in the past half a month.
But no matter how good it is, it's useless, the emperor only cares about picking up vegetables for Concubine Wu, and doesn't look at the concubines who dance hard at the bottom.
And I wanted to toast, but the emperor directly blocked it, and the emperor's body injury has not yet healed, so it is naturally not suitable for drinking. So this great banquet, there is no lingering of the emperor, no wine, it is so dry, everyone has a bitter face.
The Empress Dowager was naturally angry, but on the first day the emperor returned to the palace, she threw her face to the emperor, which was not very appropriate.
The Empress Dowager is also nearly seventy years old, and she is unwilling to confront the emperor head-on.
I can only say to Nangong Ming: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu has always taken care of the emperor in Jiangnan before, but now that the emperor has returned to the palace, Concubine Wu can also rest." The concubines in the palace are all ingenious and can definitely serve the emperor well. ”
Nangong Ming frowned directly, the concubines in the palace were indeed ingenious, but they all used their minds in the wrong place. The instinctive Nangong Ming wanted to refuse: "Imperial grandmother, it is enough for me to have Concubine Wu by my side, so I don't have to trouble others." ”
The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor would not agree immediately, and it would have to take some twists and turns, so she was not angry.
continued to look at Concubine Wu with a loving face, "The mourning family looks at Concubine Wu these days, but she has lost weight, and she looks a little tired. Didn't the emperor love Concubine Wu the most? Why isn't this time distressed, I don't want Concubine Wu to go back to the palace to have a good rest? ”
After speaking, the Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Wu with a little more warning in her eyes. If she were the previous concubine, she would definitely not take the Empress Dowager seriously, and she would not bother to pay attention to the battle between the emperor and the empress dowager.
But now that her mentality has changed, Concubine Wu also understands that as long as the Empress Dowager does not die for a day, if she keeps working against the Empress Dowager, it will not do her much good.
The Empress Dowager is the master of this harem, and she has been operating in the harem for many years, and the old trees are entrenched. If Concubine Wu wants to live well, she has to think about the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager wanted to let herself die, it was too easy. Could it be that Nangong Ming would kill the Empress Dowager with his own hands in order to help him avenge himself? Maybe he will clean up the Empress Dowager, but his life is gone, what's the point?
In fact, Concubine Wu's complexion is already very good, although it is only a thin layer of light makeup, but it is already gorgeous. may have experienced too much, so Concubine Wu's temperament is always incomparable to other concubines.
The wisdom in the eyes, the indifference on the face, and the tranquility around the body are not found in the harem concubines. The Empress Dowager actually knows that there may be concubines who can compete with Concubine Wu in terms of appearance alone, but that unique temperament,
But it is not comparable to the harem concubines, let alone her love with the emperor, which is even more incompetent.
Wu smiled faintly: "What the Empress Dowager said is that the concubines are indeed a little tired. If the emperor chooses a few beauties to serve by his side, he will definitely satisfy the emperor. ”
Concubine Wu's words surprised the Empress Dowager a little, and the Empress Dowager didn't expect Concubine Wu to know each other like this. is just a warning look, which can make her honestly give up her position and not dominate the emperor all day long.
But I didn't expect Concubine Wu to recognize herself and say it, and she also took the initiative to ask the emperor to re-pageant to serve by her side, it seems that something must have happened to Jiangnan this time, and Concubine Wu's attitude towards the harem is very different.
Nangong Ming saw Concubine Wu pushing herself out, and she was a little unhappy, but she saw that the Empress Dowager was rarely hostile.
Nangong Ming also knew that if Hui'er didn't follow the Empress Dowager's words, I was afraid that the Empress Dowager would say something that would make Hui'er even more embarrassed. Isn't it just to get two people to serve in front of you?
People are good choices, but they are not so easy to serve, these daughters are all regarded as the palace is a golden nest, where will they serve people?
Nangong Ming smiled weirdly, since the Empress Dowager wanted to make jokes, why didn't she follow the Empress Dowager's wishes, and let the Empress Dowager understand how incompetent and ignorant these women in the harem are, it's not that they don't love them, it's that they can't compare with Hui'er.
Nangong Ming swept a few of the concubines with expectant expressions at the bottom, and they were indeed all beautiful and moon-looking, with a calm look on their faces: "Since Concubine Wu and the imperial grandmother both said this, if I insist on letting Concubine Wu serve, it is really a bit unsatisfactory."
I know that the emperor's grandmother feels sorry for Concubine Wu, and I feel sorry, so I won't let her continue to suffer. It's a pity that I don't know much about the harem concubines, so I should have chosen a few people to serve by my side with the help of the imperial grandmother. ”
The Empress Dowager finally showed a rare smile, and this was the first time that the banquet had been going on for so long, and everyone was happy.
It also made the concubines who danced hard at the bottom see hope, and felt that it was not in vain to practice for so long, not in vain. The smiles on their faces are more charming, and the spring in their eyes is thicker. I almost pounced on it and took off the emperor's clothes!
The Empress Dowager glanced at those concubines a few times, and immediately stroked her forehead, are these still the daughters of the family? How do you look like those Qinglou women who are in the next work, otherwise how can they be like spring one by one, completely out of order?
In contrast, Concubine Wu, who sat quietly on the side and ate meals, was stronger than these concubines in terms of aura and bearing.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help coughing dryly, and sure enough, some of the concubines below began to come back to their senses, but some of them still didn't give up and looked at the emperor with a look of longing for spring. It's just ** to the extreme, there are a few of them, and they are still drooling.
The Empress Dowager is really a little speechless, what is the origin of these concubines, they don't understand the female precepts and female training at all, it seems that the next time you choose a concubine, you must look carefully at it, don't get these empty straw bales into the palace. R1152
