092 Acting in disgrace
Lan Junyao led a hundred women to wait in the Yunluo Hall early, thinking that she would be able to see the emperor and His Royal Highness immediately, these women did not dare to relax in the slightest, and even the women she saw last night also looked at what was wrong with them from time to time.
Because today is the last day of the concubine election, the emperor specially allowed her not to follow the early dynasty, just arrange the affairs here. From the busy morning to now, she only felt hungry, and she longed for a sumptuous meal to appear in front of her.
The aroma of rice wafting in the palace gradually faded, and it was estimated that the emperor should also come, Lan Junyao took Xiaolianzi out of the palace gate and greeted him outside the door early.
It didn't take long to see the overlapping figures not far away, and the emperor and the eighth prince came over together. On the golden dragon, the emperor sat solemnly, the emperor stood on the left hand side of the great eunuch Dequan, and the eight princes on the right hand side stood like an old pine, and a group of guards in front and behind were serving, and the momentum was huge.
"Welcome to the Emperor, Your Highness the Eight. Lan Junyao lifted her robe and knelt down towards the emperor, and a group of minions behind her saluted, and in the blink of an eye, a large area fell down.
"No courtesy. The emperor commanded, and Dequan hurriedly stepped forward to help Lan Junyao up.
Lan Junyao stood aside with her head down, staring at the embroidered shoes on her feet without squinting, and invited the emperor and Ling Qixuan into the hall. It wasn't until everyone walked in that she dared to straighten her head.
In the Yunluo Palace, the emperor sat on the throne, and Ling Qixuan stood beside him. Many hung their heads as soon as they entered,
This son sneaks a glance at him from time to time.
The injury on Jiang Zhirong's face has been healed, the fat powder on her pretty face is shallow, and her cherry lips are lightly lip grease, which is very shy. Xu fell into the water last night and suffered from the wind and cold, and his face was a little pale, like a sick beauty. She raised her eyes and peeked, and the emperor and the eighth highness were directly opposite her.
His Royal Highness the Eighth is wearing a golden robe today, with nine pythons entrenched on his chest, a jade belt with a golden rank and a cat's eye stone on his waist, and a green fox top on his head, accompanied by a ruby, which makes him look more and more heroic.
Jiang Zhirong's eyes were full of obsession, his gaze was in line with the gaze of His Royal Highness, and he suddenly blushed, and hung his head shyly, not daring to look at it again.
The emperor wore a crown of nine crowns, and twelve white jade beads hung down in front of him, and when he moved, he heard the crisp sound of the pearls and jades hitting each other, and the appearance of the application was tightly covered. A dragon robe of the color of the emperor is hovering over the nine dragons, and the end is the treasure **.
More than 100 women stepped forward one by one and reported the age of their families, which looked good, and the emperor would ask a few questions.
Asked one by one, there were only a dozen women left in the hall. There are small jasper types like Jiang Zhirong, small birds like Yan Ruyu, and gentle and arrogant and cold, these women are the best among these people, so it seems that the competition for the position of side concubine is still very large.
Lan Junyao and Ling Qixuan stood on both sides of the emperor on the left and right, one with no sadness or joy on his face, and the other with a fake smile on his face. If it weren't for the fact that today was the day he chose his concubine, I'm afraid the two of them would never have such a short distance again.
Lan Junyao came back to her senses, she only needed to do a good job of Jing'an Xiuyi, looking at the women below who had their own merits, but she couldn't appreciate it, she just felt that when she looked at them more, it was like a needle was piercing in her heart, and she couldn't pull it out.
Ling Qixuan had a casual smile on his face, and his every move revealed a kind of casual and uninhibited charm, although the woman standing below was a leader selected from more than 10,000 people, but she couldn't stand his teasing.
"What kind of books do you read on weekdays?" The emperor's voice echoed in the entire hall with some appreciation, and the one kneeling at the bottom of the steps was the daughter of the Yan family, Ruyu.
"The courtiers are not very literate, and they only read two books, "The Female Ring" and "The Female Training". Yan Ruyu replied very modestly.
"Very well, I have learned the essence of these two books from what you do in your daily life. The emperor showed a slight smile on his face, from the banquet a few days ago, Lan Junyao knew that the emperor had a lot of love for her in his heart. "How is the old Bayi?"
"The character is a likable. Ling Qixuan made a brief evaluation.
The same is true for the rest of the people, Lan Junyao was distracted, and suddenly heard Dequan mention Jiang Zhirong's name, only to see her fall to the ground with a sweet voice, "The courtiers follow their mothers to be a female celebrity on weekdays, and they have never read any books." ”
"A woman's duty is to teach her husband and children, and it doesn't hurt to know a few words. The emperor turned his head and said to His Royal Highness with a smile, "Do you think you have a favorite?"
"Erchen saw that these people were top-notch in appearance and talent, and they were willing to rely on their father to make the decision. Ling Qixuan circled a large number of people's bodies before returning to the emperor.
"I look at Ruyu and Xue Ying well, what do you think?" The emperor said that there were two people, one was Yan Ruyu, the daughter of the prince, and the other was Zhao Xueying, the daughter of the magistrate of Qinghe County.
If it weren't for the fact that she inadvertently broke her last night, Lan Junyao would have thought that she looked so clean and bright on the surface. Looking at Zhao Xueying, who was ecstatic after being nominated by the emperor, she sneered on her face, dare to be so rampant before the result is decided?
Before Ling Qixuan could speak, he heard a terrible howl coming from the door of the hall, and the emperor's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes were cast into the distance like a sharp sword, "Dequan, go and see who is making trouble?"
Dequan responded, walked down the steps with his steady steps, grabbed the troublemaker's ears and threw them at the emperor's feet, "Your Majesty, it's this little minion." ”
"The emperor helps, the daughter of the magistrate of Qinghe County has sent someone to kill the slave to kill the minion!" the slave howled these words, tears welled up, and crawled into the emperor's feet.
"Bold minions, dare to come here and talk nonsense, come here, come here, drag him down for me, and beat him to death with a stick. Ling Qixuan scolded sharply, pointed to the guards who had been with him twice, and was about to deal with the little eunuch.
"Slow, why did she want to kill you?" The emperor's face was even more ugly, and he caught a glimpse of Zhao Xueying's somewhat evasive look below, stopping Ling Qixuan's further movements.
Zhao Xueying, who was standing below, knew that things were not good the moment the little eunuch came in. However, the person she sent to exterminate the mouth last night said that the little eunuch had disappeared when he arrived, and she knew that this morning, she had sent someone to investigate, and when she heard that the little eunuch had indeed not returned all night, she was completely relieved.
"Your Majesty, yesterday Miss Zhao found a slave and asked the slave to let Miss Jiang out, and the slave was fascinated by money for a while, so he agreed to her. Later, the minions were afraid that something big would happen, so they secretly followed them, and who knew that they would see ...... I actually saw ......" The little eunuch glanced at Zhao Xueying in fear and didn't dare to say any more.
"With the emperor here, what do you dare not say?" Dequan slammed the dust in his hand on his head.
