Mo Yaxi obviously has more understanding and mental preparation for the life of the harem, and knows that it is a battlefield where there is no gunpowder smoke at all! However, thinking that his father is a royal historian, he is a high and powerful doctor, and he is beautiful and moving, there is no reason why he can't hook the emperor's heart! But all this is just buried in his heart, not as undisguised as Zhen Ruxue, only a deep and complex light flashes in his eyes.

Ke Yuyao, on the other hand, frowned slightly from beginning to end, because she knew very well that entering the palace this time was not a good thing! Although it was the first time she had such close contact with Duanmu Youning, she had already seen that Duanmu Youning's scheming was deeper than anyone could match! Not to mention that the emperor did not set up a concubine this time because of love, he only had the queen in his heart, in this case, even if she was a concubine, how could she enjoy the slightest sweetness in the world? I am afraid that it is better to marry an ordinary person and get a greeting from the cold! At the thought of this, her face turned pale and cold!

Xu Hanyan is much more decent. It is the order of her parents to enter the palace to run for election, she just has to obey, whether she is in or not is reasonable, and she will not suffer from gains and losses for this. was favored by the emperor, and sure enough, she was selected, and she had already secretly determined to abide by her duties and never let people find the slightest mistake.

The candidates for the four concubines have been finalized, and the banquet continues. After a short time, everyone dispersed, and Duanmu Youning ordered the four of them to go back to the palace separately, just wait for the emperor's decree to go to bed.

In the evening, Tanglin Guyun was going to stay in Dongfeng Palace, and Duanmu Youning had already ordered someone to inform Ke Yuyao and ask him to prepare early. Who knew that not long after the order was given, he saw Tanglin Guyun step in.

"Your Majesty, see the Emperor!" Duanmu Youning was taken aback, and immediately stepped forward to salute, and then was full of doubts, "It's so late, what is the emperor doing when he doesn't go to Dongfeng Palace and go to his concubines?"

Tanglin Guyun looked at her quietly, as if trying to see something in her calm and deep eyes. Duanmu Youning didn't shy away from it, just looked at him so quietly, and the expression on his face didn't reveal much except doubt.

"So you really don't care. Tanglin Guyun finally spoke, but there was a faint coldness in his tone, "I am about to say goodbye to the woman, you can still be so calm as usual, should I say that you are broad-minded, or should I say that you finally got what you want?"

Duanmu Youning's heart ached sharply, and the smile on the corner of his lips unconsciously condensed, and then he laughed casually: "The broad-minded concubines don't dare, but the emperor has already set up a concubine, and as long as one of the heirs is born next, the drought can end, the people can get out of the sea of suffering, and the concubines will have to taste what they want!"

"You know that I don't mean that," Tanglin Guyun sneered indifferently, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, "I have already said that I don't want to be a concubine, but you ran forward and backward, and now you have finally pushed me to the other women, are you happy?"

Duanmu Youning's heart hurt again, but he still smiled calmly on his face: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, what's the use of saying this? The concubine also knows that you are wronged, but for the sake of the people of Yulin Country, the concubine has even suffered the grievance of staying alone in the empty house, what else can you not stand it? Not to mention that the beauty is hugging, any grievances can be forgotten!"

Tanglin Guyun looked at her, and suddenly laughed after a while: "Yes, it is a great pleasure for a beautiful woman to hug her, where does the grievance come from? I just don't want to hear the old person cry while hearing the new person laugh, so I came to take a look, since you are so reasonable, I am doing this too much! Rest, I am going to Dongfeng Palace!"

As he spoke, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned away, never looking back again!

It was only at this time that Duanmu Youning's body shook, and he had to hold on to the edge of the table before he could barely stand firmly: Your Majesty, I just don't want you to hear the old man crying, so I forced a smile in front of you, how can you know the pain in my heart?

"Niangniang!" Shonan, who entered the door at this time, saw Duanmu Youning's pale and shaky appearance, and immediately rushed over to support her, and then sighed, "Niangniang, why are you suffering? In fact, as long as you open your mouth, the emperor will definitely not leave tonight!"

"This palace knows," Duanmu Youning smiled bitterly, his heart aching, "because of this, this palace must pretend to be calm, so that the emperor can leave with peace of mind." Otherwise, if he has been unwilling to visit the fourth concubine, what is the point of everything this palace has done?"

Shonan helped her to sit down beside the bed, and said angrily: "Hmph! Leave her alone! Just let the fourth concubine stay there! Didn't the ministers say that as long as the concubines are established, they will let this drought end! The emperor has no need to be fortunate to them!"

Duanmu Youning smiled bitterly again: "It's not that simple. The emperor treats the palace with deep affection, as long as the palace speaks, he will indeed not touch a finger of the fourth concubine. But the ministers' rhetoric is because the palace has nothing to do, so it will send down the curse, and the purpose of the concubine is also to give birth to the imperial heir, if the emperor has been hanging the four concubines there, where will the imperial heir be born?"

Shonan pursed his lips, still indignant: "But for this, does Niangniang have to be so wronged herself? Grievances are just that, the point is that the emperor doesn't understand Niangniang's hard work at all, and he really doesn't care about Niangniang at all! You listen to what he just said, it's too much!"

"No wonder he, he is more aggrieved than this palace. Duanmu Youning shook his head, tears slowly condensed into drops, "Concubine Li is not what he wants, and Bengong still looks like nothing, he will naturally think that Bengong is tired of him, and he wants to get rid of him so actively, it is inevitable that he will say something ugly in a hurry, and Bengong will not care." ”

Xiangnan sighed, and felt sorry for his master: "Actually, if you think about it, if the mother is not like this, the emperor will definitely not go to the fourth concubine." ”

"That's it!" Duanmu Youning lowered his eyelids and let the tears slide silently, "Now the palace doesn't want to do anything, I just hope that which concubine will give birth to the imperial heir soon, so that this drought will end as soon as possible, so that no matter how big the grievances are, it will be worth it!"

Shonan stopped talking, but there was obvious worry in his eyes: the birth of an imperial heir would bring the drought to an end? Why does it sound so unreliable......

Receiving Duanmu Youning's order, Ke Yuyao barely reacted, she neither bathed nor lit incense, and she was still wearing the plain light gray dress, without the slightest hint of being lucky. It was all too sudden for her to react.

The maid who was assigned to serve in Dongfeng Palace was named Ying'er, she had already prepared hot water and came to invite her master to take a bath, but Ke Yuyao just shook her head and didn't say anything, which made her at a loss: If the emperor came up and saw Concubine Yao like this, wouldn't he blame her?

Ke Yuyao didn't care about her at all, because she really didn't understand why Duanmu Youning had to choose her as a concubine, was it really just because Juxian did not avoid relatives? Or was she afraid that the ministers would say that she was taking revenge for personal gain, so she had to choose the prime minister's daughter to enter the palace to block the mouths of others?

"The emperor has arrived!"

There was a message from the inner servant at the door, and Ke Yuyao had already knelt on the ground with a calm expression: "Ke Yuyao see the emperor!"

"Get up," Tanglin Guyun glanced at her, then walked around her and sat down in front of the bed, "No need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ke Yuyao got up and stood aside, lowered her eyebrows, and didn't say a word. The chamberlain had already beckoned to Ying'er, and the two of them retreated in amusement, and closed the door, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a little dull for a while.

"Why don't you come to serve?" Tanglin Guyun came back to his senses, and when he saw Ke Yuyao's serious appearance, he couldn't help but open his mouth lightly, "You also know the queen's intention to choose a concubine for me, how can you achieve your goal if you stand so far away?"

"The emperor forgives the sin, Yu Yao is really confused!" Ke Yuyao gave another salute, but his eyes looked at the ground, "Yu Yao is only shallow in learning, her appearance is ugly, and she is not qualified to enter the palace as a concubine at all! The emperor and the queen are so wrong in love, Yu Yao is really ashamed!"

Obviously having heard the meaning of her words, a cold light flashed in Tanglin Guyun's eyes, but he pretended to be puzzled: "There is no need to list so many excuses, I know that you mean not to be a concubine! In this case, why do you want to enter the palace to run for election, so that I will bear the charge of robbing a woman from a good family as a concubine?"

"Yu Yao doesn't dare!" Ke Yuyao was taken aback, and couldn't help but rush out of the truth, "It's not that Yu Yao must enter the palace to run for election, but the Queen Mother Yi will want Yu Yao to enter the palace......"

Speaking of this, she stopped suddenly, glanced up at Tanglin Guyun in a bit of panic, and lowered her head at a loss. Ke Zhengyan repeatedly explained that he must not tell the queen mother's decree that she must enter the palace to run for election, why did she still not pay attention to it and leaked her mouth?

"The Queen Mother?" Donglin Guyun's eyes were cold again, but he asked a little strangely, "Is it the meaning of the Queen Mother, or the meaning of the Queen?"

Youning, could it be that you have already planned all this? You have already decided to let Ke Yuyao enter the palace as a concubine, so first obtain my guarantee, and let me promise that you will definitely leave the person you like. Then he ordered Ke Yuyao to enter the palace to run for election through the mouth of the Queen Mother, is that so?

If so, what is your purpose, and why do you want Ke Zhengyan's daughter to become my concubine?

When this question came out, Ke Yuyao was stunned for a moment: "This ...... Yu Yao received the queen mother's decree, and as for the meaning of the queen mother or the queen, Yu Yao didn't know. ”

Tanglin Guyun was silent, and after a while, he sneered: "In short, no matter who you mean, it must not be your intention, because you don't care to be my concubine at all, you just can't resist, right?"

"Yu Yao doesn't dare!" Ke Yuyao began to sweat on the tip of her nose, only to feel that an invisible pressure was slowly rising from Tanglin Guyun's body, pressing her out of breath, and making her even more overwhelmed, "Yu Yao is not worthy of being a concubine, not disdainful......"
