Chapter 7: Choosing a Concubine 2

At this time, the two maids walked to An Anyan and An Yunmo's side, one holding a teapot in his hand, the other holding a fruit in his hand, the maid holding the teapot was a little ahead, she was changing tea for An Anyan, but when she walked behind An Anyan, her right hand under the tray took out a knife, and reached out to stab Anxin Yan's back, but An Anyan and Mama Cheng didn't notice it.

Just when the maid's knife was five centimeters away from An Anyan's back, An Yunmo found that he didn't raise his head, he snatched the maid's knife with a reverse buckle in his left hand, and stabbed the maid in the opposite direction, stabbing straight to the chest, and the blood didn't flow out much, everything was in an instant, people just heard a muffled snort, and when they looked for the sound, they saw a maid falling to the ground, and the ladies next to him screamed in fright.

This wave has not been settled, and before the knife of the maid who sent the fruit forward, An Yunmo had already killed her with another backhand, the maid's eyes were full of horror, in their opinion, the maid was killed by An Yunmo without making any mistakes, the ladies are not practitioners, even if the internal strength of the practitioners' martial arts is weak, they may not be able to see An Yunmo's methods, for a while, the ladies did not dare to make a sound, just lowered their heads and trembled.

They heard that the regent was vicious and short-tempered, and he beat and killed his subordinates indiscriminately when he had a poisonous attack, and because of the poisoning, he would die soon, and when they thought that he would also come to choose a concubine this time, the ladies were all pale, and they were afraid of being chosen by him.

An Anyan was also shocked, but after all, she had seen the world, and quickly calmed down, she knew that An Yunmo would not kill people for no reason, they must be trying to kill her, An Anyan just wanted to ask the emperor what was going on.

An Yunsheng had already spoken first, "Come on, drag these two maids down, second brother, they are all negligent, I don't know why these two maids are not as good as you want, but you killed them?" ”

An Yunmo is not a person who can explain, even if he explains, will others listen?

An Anyan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, those two maids just now wanted to hurt me, and Ah Mo also wanted to save me, and asked the emperor to investigate this matter." ”

"Really? Second brother? ”

An Yunmo gave An Yunsheng a look, "Your Majesty, what do you say?" ”

Who else can commit murder in this palace, An Anyan has been converted to Buddhism for many years, and there is no enemy in this palace, who wants to kill her, killing her is just to let him make a move, so that those ladies in front of him can remember how cruel and cruel he is.

"Hehe, how would I know."

An Yunshuo couldn't hold back his heart anymore, and came out and said, "How could the emperor know? This matter still has to be investigated slowly, this matter is not in a hurry, isn't it a big deal to kill two maids, and the second brother has killed fewer maid guards? Oh, this king said the wrong thing, let's choose a concubine first, right? You can't ignore these beauties. ”

An Yunyao also echoed on the side, "But no, the second brother is also killing people in front of so many beauties, and he is not afraid of scaring them?" ”

An Yunsheng saw that An Yunyao and An Yunshuo were cooperating with him, and he also hurriedly said, "Second brother, I will definitely give you an answer, but now that the minister's daughters are here, we can't snub them, so you quickly choose the right one." ”

Liu Ruyun looked at most of the trembling people below, "You girls don't have to be afraid, there must be something inconsiderate about those two maids, you are all from scholarly families and famous families, and you must also be calm people in trouble, and people who can enter the eyes of the emperor and the prince must also be such people." ”

When the ladies heard Liu Ruyun say this, their hearts that were still trembling and scared calmed down a little, and they injected themselves in their hearts, to be mature and steady, so that Mount Tai collapsed in front of them without changing their faces, only such a woman can be worthy of the emperor and the prince.

With Liu Ruyun's words, most of the ladies can calm down, An Yunsheng looked at Liu Ruyun and nodded, and a father-in-law next to him saw it read out, "The princes have begun to choose concubines." ”

An Yunshuo heard his father-in-law read out, and couldn't wait to step forward, looking like a ruffian, shaking his fan and looking at it one by one, An Yunyao also lifted his robe and went forward, he also saw what was suitable, An Yunmao left his seat, but instead of coming forward to choose a concubine, he came to An Yunmo's side, "Second brother, don't you choose?" ”

An Yunyan hurriedly urged on the side, "Choose, why don't you choose, Ah Mo, you also go forward to take a look?" ”

An Yunmo's hand moved slightly, and Ah Si immediately understood and pushed An Yunmo forward, An Yunyao and An Yunshuo were still watching in front of the girl, and when they saw An Yunmo also coming, they stopped and continued to check the girl's eyes, waiting for An Yunmo to come over.

"The second brother is here, then the second brother will invite you first."

"Yes, the third brother is right, the second brother will come first."

An Yunmao didn't say anything and stood beside An Yunmo, he also wanted to see what kind of woman An Yunmo would choose.

An Yunmo said lightly, "Then thank you for your humility." ”

An Yunmo started from the front and said lightly, "Raise your head." ”

Although the tone is emotionless, he has put down his majesty compared to what he usually said, but in the ears of the lady, he still feels very cold and majestic.

An Yunshuo was also curious about what kind of woman An Yunmo would choose, and coaxed on the side, "Come, raise your heads." ”

In the front row all raised their heads, almost half of the people were pale, they were all concubines, they were relatively calm, they were called by An Yunmo to raise their heads and come to the concubine heard An Yunmo's voice was next to her ears, and others were also next to her, and her mind unconsciously remembered the scene where he killed the maid just now, and before her head was raised, the person suddenly had no backbone, and knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.

"The regent spares his life, spares his life."

An Yunmo looked at her coldly, no matter where she begged for mercy, An Yunyao, An Yunmao and An Yunshuo glanced at each other and exchanged glances, this is the effect they want.

An Yunshuo, the person who cherishes beauties the most, was the first to come out, "Beauty, get up, yo, it's not good to look good when you cry." ”

The concubine stood up tremblingly, as long as she didn't marry the regent, it was better to marry the flowery Lord Jia than to marry a regent who was uncertain, murderous, and short-lived.

An Yunmo looked all the way, the concubines behind were not as useless as the first one, just trembling and trembling when An Yunmo passed by, An Yunmo immediately spread on the ground as soon as he passed, they really couldn't stand An Yunmo's compelling momentum, just now the emperor walked in front of them, they didn't feel the compelling momentum, only occasionally one or two could still stand up, and Duan Qingya was one of them, she bit her mouth and told herself that she must not fall, and she did it, only if she didn't fall, Other princes can choose her, and she was afraid that An Yunmo would choose her at that time, but she bet, An Yunmo didn't choose her, An Yunmo had already looked at the concubines one by one, but he didn't mention one, as if he didn't like them all.

An Anyan was also anxious in her heart, how could this be, she would have to settle for An Yunmo later.

There are few concubines in the back who have the courage to have a daughter, they don't see many people with status on weekdays, but today they suddenly saw so much, and their self-confidence also came back a little, but when they saw An Yunmo kill people, they instantly sobered up, people with status they can't afford to climb, maybe they will be killed when they will be killed, they are not those concubines who have the support of their mother's family, they have nothing but relying on themselves.

Some of the concubines were already paralyzed on the ground before An Yunmo arrived, some didn't even dare to raise their heads, and three or four were directly frightened by themselves and fainted, An Yunyao They didn't choose a concubine, they just followed An Yunmo, and after An Yunmo saw it, they also looked at it, and they didn't point it, just looked at it, and didn't speak.

Seeing that it was coming to the end, An Yunmo didn't have any points, and he was not in a hurry, although many girls in front of him were frightened by him and fainted, begging for mercy, and didn't dare to raise their heads, he still insisted on his thoughts, if God really wanted to take his life away in two years, he hoped to have someone to accompany him in these last days, he didn't feel it before, but now he suddenly wants to have someone to accompany him, he wants to try this kind of thing, he is afraid, he is afraid that there will be no one who remembers him after his death, he is also a normal person, He didn't think he needed it before, but now he feels that it's necessary, he didn't think about restricting and restraining each other, he just hopes that he can go less lonely, there is someone to talk to, if he can, he can even agree to be a nominal husband and wife, after he dies, she can marry someone else, he gives her a rich property, just ask her to accompany him wholeheartedly to complete his last journey, he doesn't know if this is a luxury, who else can he find on his conditions, and which girl is willing to take this life in?

An Yunmo didn't have much expectation in his heart, he just went to try, I just looked at it like that, in his mentality four years ago, there was someone in it who was suitable to be his wife, as long as he came with an order, there was nothing that he didn't agree, but was that a marriage? No, they didn't even dare to look at his face, just like that, they looked at the last row, and they circled down, and the last row started from Duan Qingqian, and she was the first person, An Yunshuo and they were still watching in the previous row, but they also paid attention to An Yunmo.

An Yunshuo saw that An Yunmo had come to the last row, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and raise your head and let my second brother take a good look." ”

Duan Qingqian lowered her head just now, and the situation in front of her was just listening, she didn't look up, she was quite tall in this row, if she looked up, she would immediately find her, so she didn't look up, and she didn't know the situation in front of her, when she heard An Yunshuo raise her head, she immediately raised her head, and her eyes suddenly crashed into An Yunmo's cold and deep eyes, An Yunmo didn't speak, just looked at the woman in front of her who looked at him who was obviously different from other women, and her eyes suddenly looked over, But she didn't have the horror of those women, but looked like something ordinary.

An Yunmo stretched out his hand to take off his mask, Duan Qingqian's eyes flashed with doubt, is this trying to scare me?

Duan Qingqian still looked at him, his eyes were flat at first, but now he just had some doubts, what did he mean?

Duan Qingqian's doubts were only for a moment, but they did not escape An Yunmo's sharp eyes, this woman was interesting, she was so calm, Duan Qingqian felt a little strange at this time.

She glanced at the person next to her out of the corner of her eye, why did she keep her head down? Didn't you say that you should look up? Aren't people in this feudal society very obedient to the orders of the supreme power? Thinking of this Qingqian, she realized that she seemed to be wrong, her performance seemed to be more prominent, although the man in front of her suppressed her momentum, but she could still feel it, she didn't pretend to be in front of him, if it was other princes, she could pretend to be scared and then lower her head, but to him she felt that he must have seen her eyes just now, and knew that she was not afraid of him, Duan Qingqian didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for a while, the person in front of him was the ruthless regent in the center of the legend, and she also saw him kill people just now, But she knew better than the ladies why he was killing.

Duan Qingqian's eye change was only a momentary thing, since she was seen by An Yunmo, she didn't pretend, she lowered her head, her hand tightly grasped her dress, and she looked nervous, An Yunmo was a little happy in her heart, maybe this woman was a different woman, and he didn't bring a mask, just like that, few women dared to raise their heads, An Yunyao They only looked up at An Yunmo when they heard a maid screaming, only to find that he had taken off the mask and leaked his hideous scars.

An Yunyao was a little puzzled, "Second brother, why did you suddenly take off your mask?" ”

They didn't know anything about An Yunmo and Duan Qingqian just now, and An Yunsheng couldn't see anything above, Ah Si blocked it, and when he heard An Yunyao's question, he was also puzzled.

An Yunmo said coldly, "It's nothing, in the mansion, this king will not wear a mask, since it is to choose a concubine, of course the princess of this king must also adapt." ”

"Second brother does you like it?"

"Nope."

Ah Si pushed An Yunmo to walk in front, and the row passed like this, An Yunmo returned to his seat and put on the mask.

An Yunmao also looked at An Yunmo's order one by one, he didn't find anything, An Yunyao didn't find anything special, but An Yunshuo stayed by Duan Qingqian's side, he glanced at the sign on Duan Qingqian's waist, and asked, "You are the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Zuo?" ”

Duan Qingqian looked panicked, and quickly knelt down and replied, "The courtier is exactly." ”

An Yunshuo bent down and hooked Duan Qingqian's chin with his fingers, Duan Qingshuo's eyes dodged, looking scared, An Yunshuo took a look and let go of his hand.

"You look average, I heard that you have selected several husbands, but you don't like them?"

Before Duan Qingqian could speak, An Yunshuo spoke again, "Although you are not beautiful, you are still beautiful, this kind of character has never been encountered by this king before, and this king will reluctantly give you away..."

An Yunshuo was thinking about saying that he would take Duan Qingqian, but Duan Qingqian's voice sounded out of place.

"Lord Qiqijia, just now the emperor said that the courtiers do not need to participate in the selection of concubines, and the courtiers are not in the scope of the selection of concubines."

"What? This king has taken a fancy to you, and you dare to shirk it? ”

Duan Qingqian still returned without humility or arrogance, "The courtiers dare not shirk the love of Prince Jia, but the emperor's edict to the courtiers will never dare to disobey, if the prince of Jia is really a courtier, after choosing a concubine, Prince Jia can come to find the courtiers." ”

An Yunshuo was a little annoyed, he heard that Duan Qing was shallow and fierce, and he chose many men who did not agree to marry, he was itchy for a while, and she was not very ugly, if she was tamed, it would be a pleasure, in his eyes, didn't those women want to be glory and wealth? As long as he spoke, they did not say no.

"You dare to disobey the king's orders?"

Duan Qingqian knelt down and replied, "The courtiers don't dare." ”

An Yunshuo gritted his teeth and said, "You are really strong, what if this king has to accept you?" What about you? This king really doesn't believe in discipline and doesn't obey you! ”

Duan Qingqian listened in his ears, complaining about An Yunshuo, she dressed herself up a little before she came, so that her appearance became ordinary, she was not very good-looking, and it was easy to dress up, so it would not attract the attention of these emperors and princes, she didn't want to marry them, but she didn't expect to be noticed.

"Since Lord Jia is so insistent, the courtiers have no choice but to accept the prince's kindness, but please allow the courtiers to do one thing before that."

An Yunshuo flashed doubts, agreed so quickly? He also thought that she would swear to death, it seems that women are all the same, with handsome looks and money, saying a few words they like to listen to can make them die, if this is not good, use their identity to ask them, this is nothing to do.

An Yunshuo snorted coldly, "Count yourself interesting." ”

Otherwise, when she enters the door, she will dare to slap him in the face in front of so many people.

Although An Yunshuo and Duan Qingqian were not talking very loudly, the scene was very quiet, and the emperor and An Yunmo, who were sitting farther away, also heard the conversation between An Yunshuo and Duan Qingqian, and An An Yan and Liu Ruyun, who had not practiced martial arts, could not hear it.

An Yunsheng watched An Yunshuo talking to Duan Qingqian, he didn't stop it, he also wanted to see what kind of woman Duan Qingqian was, Duan Qingqian heard An Yunshuo's answer, just sneered in his heart, and then ignored An Yunshuo, stood up, walked to the middle of the queue, stood 50 meters away from the emperor, then knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly.

"The courtiers Duan Qingqian see the emperor, the courtiers were fortunate to receive the emperor's dictation when the emperor chose the concubine, so that the courtiers do not have to participate in the selection of concubines in the future, the courtiers came in to choose the concubines in the palace The grandmother has been taught, whether it is selected, or not selected, or for other reasons, they are not allowed to leave privately, and leave after the end of the concubine selection, the courtiers will follow the instructions of the grandmother, and dare not leave half a step, but the courtiers stand in the queue to participate in the selection of concubines, and did not inform the prince of Jia in time, so that the prince of Jia misunderstood, the courtiers violated the emperor's edict, and the courtiers are willing to die to apologize! Please ask the emperor to give his courtiers a death. ”

An Yunsheng looked at the woman begging for death in front of him, and felt that she was sharp-toothed, he was speechless, An Yunshuo just saw Duan Qingqian walking towards the middle, and he also followed, and now when he heard Duan Qingqian say this, he himself was confused, didn't she agree just now? What does she mean by that? An Yunsheng saw that An Yunshuo seemed to have something to say, and he was also happy to watch the play, anyway, it was not a big deal.

"Fifth brother seems to have something to say?"

"Your Majesty, my brother has something to say."

An Yunsheng leaned back in his chair and said with half-squinted eyes, "Yes." ”

An Yunshuo looked at Duan Qingqian and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Duan Qingqian still knelt, raised his head, and said with a look of deep righteousness, "Lord, the emperor has already issued an edict just now, courtiers are not allowed to participate in the selection of concubines, courtiers cannot disobey the holy will, only to die to apologize." But the courtiers don't want to live up to the prince's wishes, so the prince, you have to be really interested in the courtiers, and after the selection of the concubine is over, the prince can come to discuss the matter with the courtier's father. ”

An Yunshuo looked like a curious baby, and he asked suspiciously, "You have apologized for your sins with death, who else will this king accept?" ”

Duan Qingqian looked sorry, lowered his head, and said softly, as if crying, "Lord Wang, it's all your fault that I hate to see each other late." ”

After speaking, Duan Qingqian raised his head, with tears in his eyes, "Lord, I have to wronged you to do the red and white wedding together, and when the courtier dies, it will not become a nameless lonely grave, if the prince is really interested in the courtier, don't forget to burn more paper money for the courtiers on the fifteenth day of the new year, the courtiers will thank the prince for his kindness below, and she will definitely come back to visit the prince from time to time." ”

An Yunshuo's face was embarrassed, An Yunsheng also knew what Duan Qingqian meant, he laughed out loud, but he did say just now that Duan Qingqian did not need to participate in the election of concubines, and what he said was executed the moment the person concerned received the holy decree or oracle, and he was not good at hitting his mouth.

"Fifth brother, no one is robbing you, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Zuo also came to choose a concubine the first two times, and I didn't see you choose someone else, I had to wait until everyone became a big girl to choose, I did give her an edict just now, you still chose another one, you really like her, after the selection of the concubine is over, I will tell Prime Minister Zuo, she didn't promise to be married, just accept it."

An Yunshuo glared at Duan Qingqian, and said, "Brother Chen." ”

"Well, okay, Miss Duan will also go back."

"Yes."

Duan Qingqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as An Yunshuo is not settled, she is still single, if it is settled, it will not be easy to get rid of it at that time, and it will definitely be announced that the government and the opposition will know that if she does not marry, her reputation will also be ruined, not only no one is willing to marry her, she must also marry her, even if she dies, she will not be able to do it, if she dies, it is everyone's own, and now this situation is An Yunshuo, who is hot for three minutes, she suspects that he will forget it as soon as the concubine selection is over, even if he comes to pester her, as long as there is no order from the emperor, She still has a way to maneuver.

An Yunyao and they just followed An Yunmo to choose together, and they didn't set any special concubines, but they each paid attention to some concubines who were helpful to them, if it was good, they directly ordered it on the spot for fear that An Yunsheng would not agree, they still liked to talk in private, and they symbolically chose a few desirable concubines.

A grand concubine selection banquet ended here, some people were happy and some were sad.
