Chapter 315: Choosing a Concubine

Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for a long time, and this position of Mother of the Nation ......"

Interrupting the words of the old minister who was leaning down below, Mu Mo said with a dissatisfied face: "Needless to say, there is only one person who can sit on the position of the queen who has decided to do so, if she doesn't come back, let it stay empty!" ”

"This ...... This, where has there ever been such a thing! ”

"Yes, yes, how can there be a reason that the harem has been empty!"

"This, how can the seat of the palace be empty all the time?"

Because of Mu Mo's rebuttal, there was a discussion in the court, all about Mu Mo's post-establishment matters.

Now that Mu Mo has been sitting on the throne of the Qiang State for a while, the residual influence of the wind and pine has completely dissipated. The civil and military officials of the Qiang State are very satisfied with this new emperor, and the only thing that they don't agree with is that Mumo's harem has been empty, not to mention a concubine, not even a wife.

Regarding the previous marriage between Mumo and Yunyan, because of the accident that happened at the beginning, everyone naturally defaulted to the invalidation. Besides, this Yunyan is not in the Qiang country now, and the fact that Yundaoxu fell out with the Mu family is naturally no one to mention Yunyan again. These courtiers are also too idle on weekdays, so they all put their eyes into the emperor's backyard.

For women, Mu Cong actually reminded Mu Mo early in the morning, although he knew that Mu Mo had no feelings for Yun Yan, but at least the emperor's harem could not have a woman. When Mu Mo heard his father's reminder, he just felt that Mu Cong was too worried, but who would have thought that it didn't take long for the scandal that Emperor Qiming was not close to women and had a habit of Longyang in the capital, which was naturally very shocking to the Qiang State that could not tolerate broken sleeves, so for four or five days in a row, Mu Mo could hear the courtiers persuade him to hold a draft to fill the harem.

Mu Mo always felt that he didn't have to pay attention to these untrue rumors, and these exhortations and forbearance passed. After all, in terms of feelings, since he decided that Yunyan had no intention of accepting other women, and now that the Qiang Kingdom has not settled down, he still has a lot of things to deal with, where is there still time to think about women's affairs.

"Your Majesty, if you don't agree to the advice of the old ministers today, I, I will crash to death on top of this hall."

Mu Mo didn't expect that he would become the first person who would be forced to ask him to marry a wife with his life, although Mu Mo was very helpless in his heart, but considering that this King An Xian was also a respected old man in the court, he couldn't help but give him three points of face.

"Since King Anxian said so, there is nothing I can't agree to, since you all want me to accept the concubine so much, but I still feel that something like the draft is labor and money, so I still feel that it is a little inappropriate, it is better to leave the matter of the concubine after the election to King Anxian, as long as it is the concubine selected by King Anxian for me, I will be recruited into the harem."

Mu Mo can be regarded as a regression, but he is really not interested in the matter of choosing a concubine, and letting King An Xian take charge of this matter is just to prevent him from feeling too idle to trouble himself.

After retiring from the dynasty, Mumo got rid of the troubles of those disputes, but King Anxian, who took over the pot, did not dare to be careless. He looked at the ministers who passed by him and came to congratulate him with a sad face, and he always felt that he had been cheated by the emperor.

"Hey~ Congratulations to King An Xian, Your Majesty can put such an important matter in your hands, and it can be seen that Your Majesty attaches great importance to you!"

"Yes, yes, King An Xian is worthy of King An Xian, who persuaded His Majesty to elect a concubine in one sentence."

The ministers were happy, but King An Xian was not. He is now almost old, and it is really embarrassing for him to let such a bad old man choose a concubine for the emperor. The key is that Mu Mo also said that he can't hold a draft, so he can only choose in a small range, if he doesn't choose well, he will always leave a notorious reputation for public and private interests.

Although there are thousands of reluctances in his heart, since the emperor personally named him, King An Xian has no reason to shirk. On the second day, the capital of the Qiang Kingdom held an event to select a concubine for the emperor, but this time the momentum of the concubine selection was not large, and King Anxian did not dare to make a big deal about it, otherwise let Mu Mo know, it is estimated that he will be said to work hard and lose money again.

King An Xian chartered a teahouse in the capital, and then invited the daughters of famous families in the capital and the ladies to come in to taste tea, and by the way, ten concubines were selected for Mumo.

This matter also spread slowly in the capital. Because it's all about the powerful, the common people just laughed it off after hearing about it, and didn't pay much attention to it.

And at the scene, King An Xian, who chose a concubine for Mumo, was busy all day, he came to the teahouse early in the morning, and when the young ladies who arrived one after another gathered in the morning, King An Xian appeared to talk to those daughters of the family and take pictures one by one. King An Xian plans to select women with excellent performance to enter the palace from seven aspects: appearance, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, and art. But I don't know if the quality of this year's daughters is too poor or the excellent women all have marriage contracts, anyway, few of the women present this time are satisfied with King An Xian. He couldn't help but shake his head as he walked along. I couldn't help but stop when I saw a woman with a big green fetus on her head.

His voice was a little angry, and he said to the entourage beside him, "Who invited such a woman?" ”

"This seems to be General Hu's sister, and it should have been introduced by General Hu."

"It's just nonsense, and I dare to dedicate it to the emperor when I look like this. Fortunately, I am here today, otherwise I don't know what kind of princess I will choose. ”

The attendants around him didn't dare to say anything when they heard King An Xian's complaints, but the woman present was indeed flattering. Some people are even secretly speculating whether it is because His Majesty knows that the women of this session are too bad-looking, so they are reluctant to choose a concubine.

When King An Xian went downstairs and walked towards the garden behind the teahouse, he suddenly heard intermittent exclamations on the road.

"Ah~ Whose daughter is that young lady, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Who knows, maybe it may be the princess of the previous dynasty, who looks so swaggering, and no one knows her."

"It's really a fairy, I think whoever sees her will like her."

……

Listening to the discussion around him, King An Xian became interested, he glanced at the guards beside him and said, "Have you seen any stunning women today?" ”

"Back to the prince, I have always followed the prince's side, and I have never seen any stunning women." After saying that, the guard also added in his heart that this ugly girl had seen a lot.

When King An Xian led people to the garden, the people who had been gathered together pushed away to make way for King An Xian when they noticed his existence.

And at this time, the woman in yellow, who had been facing away from the crowd and silently admiring the flowers alone, also turned around at this time, and her eyes just met the inquiring gaze of King An Xian.

At that moment, King An Xian didn't know how to describe what he saw. It seems that all the adjectives of beauty in the world cannot describe one-tenth of the beauty of the woman in yellow in front of her.

Just when King An Xian was about to be stunned, the woman in yellow suddenly got up and saluted, and then wanted to turn around and leave.

King An Xian saw that he didn't know this person, so it was naturally impossible to just leave, he asked the guards around him to invite the woman in yellow to go upstairs to drink tea, although this move seemed very abrupt in the eyes of everyone, but in order to be able to choose a sincere princess for the emperor, King An Xian couldn't care so much.

"Girl, my prince wants the girl to go upstairs to talk."

The women who came here naturally understood King Anxian's intentions, and although the woman in yellow showed a look of shyness on her face, she still followed the guards upstairs in the envious eyes of everyone.

King An Xian looked at the woman sitting in front of him with elegant and upright demeanor, and the more satisfied he was. With a kind smile on his face, he stroked his beard and said, "Do you know why I called you up today?" ”

The woman in yellow nodded, and said clearly and without fear: "The prince invited the little girl to come up to see if the little girl is worthy of going to the emperor's side." ”

"Hahaha~ It's a straightforward girl, you're right, I just want to see if you are qualified to enter the palace to serve the emperor. What is your name? ”

"The little girl's father's surname is Feng, and her single name is Ling."

"Feng Ling? It's a good name, but I've never heard of a big family surnamed Feng in the capital, how did you get in? ”

"The folk girl has a bad life, when she was young, her parents died of illness and went to the capital to be fortunate to be taken in by Lord Huang, who took me in because of my sad background, so the invitation to the teahouse was given to the little daughter by the adoptive father Huang. The little girl knew that the prince originally wanted to choose a woman with an innocent family background for the throne, and the little girl knew that she was not as good as those young ladies and princesses, so she kept hiding in the garden and didn't dare to come out. ”

"I see!"

King An Xian didn't have much doubt about Feng Ling's identity, after all, the people who could enter here needed his invitation and acquaintance introduction to come in, if Feng Ling lied in this regard, he would know by asking. He looked at Feng Ling and smiled and said, "Although you have a bad fate, your conduct is not inferior to any of the daughters present. ”

King An Xian did not have any bad opinion of Feng Ling because of her identity, on the contrary, after knowing that Feng Ling was actually an orphan, he appreciated the woman in front of him even more.

He looked at the tea set on the tea table and said with a smile: "I wonder if Miss Feng can make tea?" ”

This tea is the most patient, and it can also test a person's character the most, King An Xian thought that if Feng Ling could pass his assessment in making tea, even if she couldn't, King An Xian would send her to Mumo.

Feng Ling knew that King An Xian was interested in herself, she nodded, and skillfully sold money in King An Xian's to take tea leaves, boil water, and boil tea.

When Feng Ling handed the boiled tea to King An Xian, King An Xian just raised his cup and sniffed it, and then laughed out loud.

"Okay, good~ Sure enough, it is not in vain that the old man's mind is not in vain, and now that he has found the stunning Fengling and other people, I can ensure that you enter the palace to accompany Your Majesty with your tea making skills!"

"Thank you for the praise, the little girl is grateful!"
