"The emperor has arrived."

With a burst of chanting from the eunuchs, the emperor was belated.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor."

"Flat."

His eyes swept around, and the emperor always smiled.

"Today is a family feast, so you don't have to be formal."

That being said, no one dared to mess around, and the entire Imperial Garden was silent.

Even Shang Yunqian stopped eating.

She was afraid of the old emperor.

The more he laughed, the more chilled she felt.

Even in this sunny situation, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Guifei, didn't you prepare any programs?"

Seeing that everyone really couldn't let go, the emperor opened his mouth to relieve the siege.

Even if she didn't, Li Guifei wouldn't admit it.

Fortunately, the musicians and dancers in the palace are ready at any time, as long as they are called.

Concubine Li smiled slightly, graceful and luxurious, "I have been prepared." ”

"Then why are you sitting like this?"

"Before the emperor arrives, how dare the concubine start?"

Li Guifei is in her thirties, in addition to her peculiar aesthetics, her skin is well maintained.

The years have not left any traces on her face, and at this moment, such a delicate tone makes the emperor look sideways.

Seeing Concubine Li Guifei handing over the lotus seed soup that had been prepared long ago while talking, the old emperor smiled more and more kindly.

"There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and you are deeply heartfelt."

Hearing this, the face of the woman in the imperial garden changed a lot.

In my heart, I was full of envy and jealousy for Concubine Li.

Perhaps, there is also hatred.

However, no one dared to show it.

"Thank you for your love."

In front of everyone, the emperor didn't say anything more, and simply exchanged a few words with the other concubines, and then took the initiative to order.

"Let's get started."

With the emperor's dictation, musicians, and dancers immediately appeared.

Gradually, they all let go a little.

The sound of conversation and laughter kept coming from all around.

At the end of the three dances, the emperor was a little excited, "There are a lot of young people here today, and I see, all of them are very good." ”

Although they did not name names, the girls who swept the emperor's eyes invariably blushed.

The emperor smiled, and then said, "I heard that the concubine held this banquet today, but it is actually to choose the crown princess for the crown prince, so let's start." ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere on the field was a little weird.

Obviously, except for Shang Yunyan, no one knew about this matter.

But soon, their expressions turned to surprise.

It turned out that Shang Yunyan was not the predetermined crown princess.

It turns out that they all still have a chance.

That being the case, then...... Shang Yunyan, you have to wait.

"As the future crown princess, you need to have both ability and political integrity, be kind-hearted, understand the general situation, understand etiquette, etc., these must not be said by this palace, everyone is also very clear."

"Yes."

"The candidate for the crown princess naturally needs the best."

"Of course, in addition to these one-sided things, everything also pays attention to a fate, so the emperor and the palace chose such a day to bring everyone together."

"First, it's to pass the time, and second, it's to let everyone cultivate a relationship with the prince."

"But there are so many people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have time to understand them one by one, so then, everyone will recommend themselves and take out your housekeeping skills for the prince to pass by."

"As for the final result, everything, it depends on the will of God."

Immediately afterwards, Li Guifei said a lot of words, which was nothing more than that although she was glorious after becoming the crown princess, she was also responsible, which discouraged those who were incapacitated, timid and afraid of things.

Sure enough, after Concubine Li Guifei's words ended, Shang Yunqian really saw a few girls sighing slightly from the crowd, and the people beside him were comforting him softly.

In fact, saying so much nonsense, in addition to its own good strength, it also needs to be the right person.

After all, the prince's marriage is not just a matter of two families.

"Your Majesty, Prince, is this a good arrangement?"

The emperor naturally wouldn't save her face in this kind of matter, and nodded with a light smile.

It was the crown prince, after his eyes swept around, and finally his eyes stayed on Shang Yunqian.

"So, what the mother concubine means, everyone present today may become the crown princess of the son, right?"

Concubine Li nodded, "Of course, even if you can't immediately decide on the crown princess, the prince's age has arrived, and you should choose a side concubine." ”

"Erchen knows."

Twilight Xiuran smiled slightly, but that smile made Shang Yunqian shiver unconsciously.

With the emperor here, she didn't dare to get close to Qin Muhan.

Even more afraid to speak.

Just for now......

"Then let's get started."

After saying this, Twilight Xiuran sat down.

At this moment, it is close to evening, and the sun is not so hot.

The breeze is blowing, with some coolness.

Among the girls present, excluding those who took the initiative to quit, there were still about twenty left.

If it's one show per person, it's going to be late.

Therefore, the emperor ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a dinner.

Let everyone enjoy while eating.

The girl who appeared first was dressed in a fiery red shirt, and her hair was tied up high, but she was very different from the soft women around her.

"Which girl are you?"

Straightforward girls seem to be easy to attract attention.

The one who can appear first is naturally very bold, because the emperor also pays more attention to it.

"Courtiers Situ Xue."

"But the prime minister's daughter?"

"Exactly."

"Good, good, good. If you're ready, get started. ”

Obviously, the emperor was very satisfied with it, and even said many good words.

What Situ Xue brought was a sword dance.

Soft and rigid, very attractive.

The girl's little face is delicate with a touch of heroism, not like the eldest lady, but like a heroine.

It's hard to imagine that this girl is actually from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Everyone knows that the prime minister is a great Confucian.

He is the gentlest of all officials.

At this moment, her steps were steady, and the corners of her lips were smiling, but her gaze didn't seem to stay on the crown prince for long, but turned to look at the seventh prince in the corner, who had been ignored, Du Xiuli.

Twilight kept looking ahead, as if she was looking, but as if she didn't.

The look is not sad or happy.

Of course, that's not the point.

It is true that the moment he heard the girl's name, Shang Yunqian squirted out all the sip of wine in his mouth.

Fortunately, Qin Muhan's eyes were quick, and he raised his hand to take all the wine that was squirted out with his sleeve, and in order to make room for the performers, her position was also slightly back, at this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by Situ Xue, but no one noticed her.

"Be careful."

"Ahem." Shang Yunqian was choked lightly, and coughed a few times.

"Your Excellency, you already knew that, didn't you?"

"Know what?"

These words stumped Shang Yunqian, Qin Muhan had a good relationship with Du Xiuli.

However, how could adults know about the chance encounter between her and Du Xiuli.

Shang Yunqian shook his head, and Qin Muhan also frowned slightly.

Quietly looking from Twilight Xiuli's position, it just so happened that Twilight Xiuli also looked at her, with a hint of imperceptible teasing at the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, Situ Xue's performance ended, and the applause was thunderous, and the praise was endless.

But when the girl looked up at her beloved, she noticed that Twilight hadn't noticed her at all.

With grief and indignation in his heart, he followed that gaze, and in the end, it fell on Shang Yunqian.

That is, Shang Yunqian?

Hmph, it seems that Sister Yunyan is right, she is a fox.

And, hunger does not choose food.

Domineering nine thousand years old, thinking about the prince's brother, now, even her seventh highness will not let go.

It's really hateful.

Sensing a gaze shooting towards him, Shang Yunqian looked up and happened to crash into a pair of resentful eyes.

It was Situ Xue, who had just returned to his position after the performance.

Shang Yunqian frowned slightly, very puzzled by Situ Xue's sudden resentment.

But it didn't take it to heart.

Next, there are girls appearing one after another.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, there are many talents.

After dinner, the show was already over for the most part.

Except for a few few, there is nothing particularly outstanding that can make people unforgettable.

"Anything else?"

Today, everything is different from what Li Guifei expected.

From sitting on three poles in the sun to now, she is really tired.

As for the emperor, he left on the grounds that he was busy with business, and before leaving, he specially explained to her that she must take a good look at the performance of each girl.

Yes, even if she is very tired, she can't stay up, and she can only hold on.

looked around very lazily, and finally smiled after seeing Shang Yunyan, who had changed his clothes again.

"Yan'er, Bengu remembers, you haven't played yet?"

Shang Yunyan hooked her lips slightly, and retreated from the tired face of the day, she had already recovered at this moment.

"Yes, aunt."

"This palace remembers that Yan'er's dance is a must in the imperial city, so hurry up and present a paragraph to His Royal Highness to see."

Shang Yunyan nodded, but he was not in a hurry.

"My sister hasn't played yet, why don't we sisters play together?"

“……”

Hearing this, there was also a moment of silence on the field.

Even Twilight, who had always been lacking in interest, looked up at Shang Yunqian.

was stared at by everyone, and the girl seemed to be frightened.

She was slightly stunned, then put down the pastry in her hand and smiled very reluctantly.

"This kind of thing, it's good for my sister to come."

The implication is that you have to show off that it's your business, don't get involved with me.

The corners of Shang Yunyan's mouth stiffened, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "Our sisters have been learning the same thing since childhood, and today is a rare opportunity, how about working together?" ”

Without waiting for Shang Yunqian to speak, he continued, "Sister dances, sister sings?" Or, sister dancing and sister singing? ”

Shang Yunyan's talented woman is famous all over the world.

Although it is suspected of being touted, the strength is indeed some.

So, everyone was looking forward to the contest between the two sisters.

Anyone can see that Shang Yunyan intends to make things difficult, but the life of a woman in the deep palace is boring, and right now, there is such a good show to watch, and who is willing to miss it.

Therefore, no one opened his mouth to help Shang Yunqian break the siege.

Shang Yun's shallow eyes narrowed slightly.

In the same vein? Inexistent!

Shang Yunyan has been regarded as a candidate for the crown princess since he was a child, and everything he learns is customized by a special person.

As for her, the wild child one.

Shang Zhan never liked it, so how could he arrange anything for her?

"But what to do, although I also want to cooperate with my sister once, but now that it's getting late, my sister still has ......"

"Anything, it's never too late to jump."

Xu saw that he was a little tired, and Li Guifei interrupted.

Even Twilight Xiu Dye also participated, "The eldest lady of the merchant is a talented woman, the second lady is also a wonderful person, and you are sisters, presumably the cooperation between the two of you must be extraordinary." ”

"I'm sorry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, Yun Qian will not be the same."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Even the few girls who had abstained before looked at Shang Yunqian in astonishment.

can say nothing so reasonably, this second young lady is interesting.

Shang Yunqian said, "If you really want to cooperate, I'm afraid you can only dance with knives and guns, if you want to see Yun Qian run after her dancing sister with a sword, you can consider it." ”

"Haha."

"Flutter."

Laughter, undeniable sounds, the sound of a cup falling on the floor followed.

Everyone stared at Shang Yunqian with a stunned face, and a few of them couldn't help laughing.

It's not that it's funny.

It's really that when these two young ladies said this, they were still making a careful comparison.

The appearance is too vivid.

In my mind, I seem to have that picture.

That's why everyone laughed.

Shang Yunyan's face smiled, and he couldn't collapse anymore at this moment.

She stared at Shang Yunqian, her long nails piercing the flesh.

"Why should my sister be so modest, you and I ......"

"I'm sorry sister, my sister made a mistake today and was punished by the emperor, and the emperor ordered that she must go to receive the punishment before it gets completely dark, so even if my sister wants to follow, it's too late."

"Now, Yun Qian needs to leave first. Thank you for your understanding. ”

Saying this, Shang Yunqian bowed to Concubine Li Guifei, and then turned around and left.

When did Shang Yunyan suffer this kind of neglect, now, he has long forgotten his identity, "Shang Yunqian, you stop for me." ”

Shang Yun's eyes smiled, "What else does my sister command?" ”

Obviously, they are all the concubines of the General's Mansion, and Shang Yunyan is arrogant to Shang Yun regardless of the occasion.

It's really unflattering.

"Today, you must be with me."

Shang Yunqian raised his head and looked sneered.

Slander in my heart, this Shang Yunyan, I'm afraid it's not a retard?

"Why should my sister be strong? The emperor's orders, my sister has to listen, or does my sister have the right to let my sister go later? ”

These words were like a basin of cold water, which instantly woke up Shang Yunyan.

Looking at the uncertain gazes around him, Shang Yunyan immediately came back to his senses.

Secretly gritted her teeth, just now, she said something bastard.

In Li Guifei's warning eyes, Shang Yunyan had no choice but to give up, "Where did my sister speak, it was my sister who was not good just now, so my sister will go." ”

Immediately, he asked with great concern, "Do you need my sister to wait for you to go back together?" ”

Without waiting for Shang Yunqian to speak, Qin Muhan had already stood up, "This doesn't bother Miss Lao, this official will send Qianqian back." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the noble concubine, the Seventh Prince, the emperor instructed the official to keep an eye on the shallowness in person, yes, retire first."

After saying this, the two actually turned around together, and soon, their figures were completely covered by darkness.

And here, after such a fuss, everyone is also out of mind.

Everyone knows that Shang Yunyan's face is a big loss today.

Twilight Xiuran glanced at Shang Yunyan deeply, and that look made Shang Yunyan extremely uneasy.

"Your Highness......"

"The palace is lacking today, so let's all disperse."

"Your Highness!"

Shang Yunyan's eyes widened, for this time, she had carefully prepared for a long time, and now, her makeup has been re-put on, and her clothes have been changed again.

At the critical moment, Twilight Xiu Ran actually said, disperse!

This is a great blow to her.

"What, the eldest lady has an opinion?"

Shang Yunyan wanted to say something more, but his arm had been pulled by Li Guifei.

Twilight Xiuli also got up and retired in due time.

With his drive, Situ Xue and the others also left quickly.

After Twilight Xiu Dye also left completely, the younger generation on the field also dispersed.

There are also some concubines in the palace.

Seeing that Concubine Li didn't move, they didn't dare to leave.

Li Guifei waved her hand, "Everyone who worked hard today, let's go back." ”

At the sound of the order, everyone has left.

In the end, only Li Guifei and Shang Yunyan remained.

"Auntie."

There were no outsiders, Shang Yunyan couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Li Guifei and cried.

Concubine Li Guifei sighed slightly and patted Shang Yunyan's shoulder.

After more than ten years in the palace, she has no heirs.

Yes, she has always loved this niece very much.

"Your performance just now really needs to be improved."

Shang Yunyan cried and complained, "It's all Shang Yunqian, it's all that little slut, if it weren't for her, how could I be so out of shape." ”

"You are very stable on weekdays, but today, how can you lose your temper a few times because of a few words from that Shang Yunqian?" Concubine Li Guifei pulled Shang Yunyan out of her arms and asked softly, "Yan'er, you honestly tell your aunt, what is the festival between you and that Shang Yunqian?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid I've taken a fancy to that little slut."

Hearing this, Concubine Li's face changed.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the General's Mansion several times, for the sake of that Shang Yunqian, aunt, I don't accept it, that Shang Yunqian, what is better than me?"

Li Guifei hugged Shang Yunyan again, and her fingers gently tapped on her back.

"In my aunt's heart, Yan'er is naturally the best, don't worry, the position of the crown princess can only be yours."

"That'...... Shang Yun shallow. ”

"I'll leave this matter to my aunt, and today, you go back first."

"Yes."

Without outsiders, Qin Muhan grabbed Shang Yunqian's little hand.

Shang Yunqian was depressed today and drank a lot of wine.

Right now, I'm walking a little swaying.

was dragged by Qin Muhan, and the whole person was attached to him.

A faint smell of wine came to his face, with the fragrance of fruit, Qin Muhan was slightly angry, "What are you doing with so much wine?" ”

Shang Yunqian smiled slightly, "I have a good amount of wine." ”

At this moment, the girl's lips are very red, and her little face is also a little red, which is particularly attractive in the moonlight.

Qin Muhan suddenly had the idea of occupying.

I don't want to, such a good-looking Shang Yunqian is looked down upon by others.

Possessiveness attacked, Qin Muhan bent down to pick up the girl and walked quickly towards the torture room.

There, some of them were his people, and before the banquet began, the executors had been quietly replaced by Qin Muhan.

Now, it's been waiting for a long time.

The emperor has already issued an edict, and Shang Yunqian will have to accept the ten major boards.

As for how to suffer, his people, he has the final say.

Shang Yunqian was carried out of the palace and got into Qin Muhan's sedan chair.

When the carriage left the palace, the girl, who had been screaming a moment ago, rolled over and sat up.

"It doesn't hurt anymore?"

Shang Yunqian smiled charmingly, "With such an arrangement from an adult, the pain of the board that really hit the shallow ass has already been reduced dozens of times, and I don't feel it at all." ”

The person who carried out the execution was his own person, and when he hit him, he seemed to be very hard, but in fact, there was very little pain on his body.

But Rao is like this, Qin Muhan is still not at ease, and still puts a cushion on Shang Yun's shallow buttocks.

Outsiders could only hear the girl's heart-rending voice, so they secretly ran to the emperor to report.

But in fact, with Qin Muhan here, Shang Yun's shallow hair was not hurt.

"The emperor is suspicious by nature, in order not to arouse suspicion, for ten and a half days, you need to stay at home obediently and not go anywhere."

"Huh?"

Shang Yunqian's face instantly became bitter, "Isn't it okay to go to find an adult?" ”

Shang Yunqian has been used to it since Xiaoye, she is not the kind of person who can live at home.

"If you miss me, I'll come to you."

The man was scorching, his voice was beautiful and beautiful, his perfect curved outline, and his eyes full of deep meaning, Shang Yunqian was instantly stunned.

"Do you think I'm good-looking?"

Shang Yunqian avoided this scorching gaze, and praised him without hesitation, "My lord is the best-looking person I have ever seen in my life." ”

And the previous life.

Shang Yunqian silently added in his heart.

"Then why didn't you get interested in me?"

"My lord! You tease me again. ”

"Forget it." Qin Muhan sighed and took Shang Yun's shallow and petite body into his arms.

She's grown a little taller than last year.

"I know I'm shallow and shy, but I still want to ask such self-destructive questions to make myself sad, I really shouldn't be."

Shang Yunqian couldn't hold back, and suddenly laughed.

"However, Qianqian's actions at the banquet today are only afraid that they will make others unhappy."

"What did the adults say, is it Shang Yunyan? Haven't she and I been incompatible for a long time? ”

"If you think about it, who else will there be?"

Shang Yun tilted his chin shallowly, and in his mind, those figures flashed one by one.

In the end, it stopped at Situ Xue, who impressed her the most. "I don't know why, I always feel that Miss Situ from the Prime Minister's Mansion seems to be a little hostile to me."

"Don't be afraid."

Hearing this, Shang Yunqian's brows instantly furrowed, "It's not Shang Yunyan, it's not Situ Xue, is it difficult, will it be the emperor, or the concubine?" ”

Before he finished speaking, looking at Qin Muhan's eyes, Shang Yunqian couldn't help but sigh, "No, I'm a little girl, how could I be born into their eyes." ”

In her previous life, she just liked Twilight Cultivation and Dyeing.

But it is regarded as a thorn in the side of everyone.

In this life, she doesn't like Twilight Xiu Dye at all, but she is still regarded as a thorn in everyone's side.

Shang Yunqian sighed, probably, is her life like this?

Born to provoke right and wrong?

"My shallowness is so dazzling, and it has entered the eyes of others, which is their convincing."

"My lord, is this a compliment?"

"Of course."

"Bang dang."

Suddenly, the carriage flashed, and Shang Yunqian's body almost flew out, but fortunately he was tightly protected by Qin Muhan.

Shang Yunqian frowned, isn't it, there are assassins again?

Look, she said that her life is not good, and she is always a villain, right?

"Who dares to intercept a nine-thousand-year-old sedan chair."

There were almost a dozen people on the other side, and when they saw this, they hurriedly knelt down.

"It's really not that we are deliberately offended, it's really us, there is something very important to look for the second lady, may I ask if the second miss of the general's mansion can be in the sedan chair?"

Hearing this voice, Shang Yunqian lifted the sedan curtain.

"Uncle Ye, what's going on?"

Someone who came, he was the housekeeper of Ye Mansion!
