Chapter 220: Choosing a Side Concubine
The woman in pink had already been scared of the six gods, she had come to explore with Yan Lingyue, but she didn't expect that this woman would be a princess! She came to choose a side concubine, and before she started, she provoked the princess.
Don't look at the princess smiling like this, everyone knows that these of them came out of the capital, all of them are ruthless smiling tigers, and there are many means, maybe she was killed by the princess before she left the gate of this palace.
Of course, Wanyan Lingyue didn't plan to worry about anything with the woman in pink, and she didn't feel that the woman in pink had any disrespect for herself, so after saying that, she turned around and walked in front of the old lady and saluted, "Hello mother." ”
The old lady sneered in her heart, she was going to let Wanyan Lingyue know the gap between herself and the noble daughter of the family today.
"How long have you been here? Look at the girls here, are there any more lovely? The matter of choosing a concubine for Shengrui, I should have worried about it with you, you like it, and if the sisters get along harmoniously in the future, that is the best. The old lady touched Yan Lingyue's hand, and her voice was more than amiable.
Wanyan Lingyue pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "Mother, it doesn't matter if you and I talk about this matter, it's better to wait for the prince to heal from his injury, let him come and see it himself." What we choose, the prince may not be able to see it. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, Sheng Rui wants to accept the matter of the side concubine, I have already notified the eight counties of the five states, and the only ones who came today are from Su City, and there are many more in the future." Let's check on him first. The old lady pulled Yan Lingyue and walked to the pavilion and sat down.
After the girls in Sucheng saluted the old lady and Wanyan Lingyue, the old lady asked them to come over one by one to chat, and the first person to come was still the woman in pink.
"Concubine Niangniang, princess Niangniang, the little girl's name is Li Yingyue, and her father is Li Xing, the captain of Sucheng."
Captain Sioux City? After Yan Lingyue thought about it, she heard Yan Mingri say when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, he was almost transferred to be the captain of the northern part of the capital, and the captain was in charge of the local soldiers and horses to maintain law and order in the city, so this Su Cheng lieutenant should also have a lot of power, no wonder those people were headed by this Li Yingyue.
The old lady smiled when she heard this, looked at Li Yingyue, she was also a very beautiful girl, and she was very satisfied, "Miss Li is very old?" ”
"Sixteen." Li Yingyue said as she secretly glanced at Wanyan Lingyue.
The reason why she was the first to come up was that she hoped that she would be the first to leave here, in this case, Wanyan Lingyue would be kept here, and naturally she would not have a chance to attack her.
But looking at the old lady's appearance, it seems that she is not willing to let her go easily.
The old lady nodded and looked at Wan Yan Lingyue, "What do you think?" ”
"Very good." Since the final decision is on Bai Shengrui, then things will be easy to do, and when she goes back, she will start from Bai Shengrui. So now, she doesn't contradict the old lady and pretends to be satisfied.
After seeing Yan Lingyue so acquainted, the old lady turned to Li Yingyue and asked, "Since Miss Li is the daughter of Su Chengwei's family, she must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?" ”
"I'm not proficient, but I'm a little bit proficient." She was full of confidence when she came, and she would not return if she did not choose the side concubine, and now, she only hoped that she could get out of this palace safely, so she changed her previous appearance and became humble.
But this appearance won the heart of the old lady even more, and the old lady became more and more satisfied with Li Yingyue, and then glanced at Wanyan Lingyue with disgust.
Wanyan Lingyue didn't have to guess to know, what the old lady was thinking about now must be: look at others, and then look at you.
"That's great, what's the point of just saying it dryly? Our princess is also the daughter of a big family in the capital, why don't you two play a game of chess and compare your chess skills? It was also an eye-opener for me. "The old lady has a heart for making Yan Lingyue ugly today.
Chess skills? Wanyan Lingyue doesn't even know how to fall, okay? However, she was no longer the cowardly and cowardly Yan Lingyue she used to be, and said directly: "Mother, I don't know how to play chess, why don't I compare with this Miss Li whose dishes are more delicious?" ”
The old lady snorted coldly, "We helped Sheng Rui find a side concubine, not a cook, what's the use of cooking delicious food?" ”
These words were clearly mocking Yan Lingyue and comparing her to the cook in the dining room. Wanyan Lingyue was not annoyed, she smiled and said: "Mother, what you said is not right, the husband is a wife, and the wife can't even cook a delicious meal for the husband, so what kind of wife is it?" ”
"We're not ordinary people!" The old lady shouted.
"But how do you know that the prince doesn't want to be an ordinary person? Mother, although you are the biological mother of the prince, I am the pillow person of the prince, of course, I know the prince's thoughts better. Wanyan Lingyue said to Li Yingyue with a smile: "Miss Li, do you think what I said is right? ”
Wanyan Lingyue just asked casually, but after Li Yingyue heard it, the hairs on her body stood up, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, what the princess said makes sense, after the little girl goes home, she must also work hard to study cooking skills and become a good wife like the princess." ”
This sounds so pleasant, but the word "good wife", Wanyan Lingyue feels that it has nothing to do with her, but she feels that she is barely a good mother, after all, she raised her son so cutely.
The old lady originally thought that she would let these family girls completely crush Yan Lingyue in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and let Wan Yan Lingyue know that with her current family identity and cultivation, she was not qualified to stay by Bai Shengrui's side.
As for Baozi, what's the use of a grandson who doesn't kiss her, what's more, whether it's a grandson or not, one day when she sees the right time, she must let Baozi and Bai Shengrui drop blood for a blood test, and if something is found out wrong, they will all be driven out.
But now, Li Yingyue said so, and the old lady didn't want to force them to play chess, but she was still very satisfied with Li Yingyue, and after quietly putting her on the shortlist in her heart, she let her go down.
Wanyan Lingyue only sat there and ate the fruit, and every time the old lady asked her opinion, there were only two words "very good". Of course, with Yan Lingyue on the side, the old lady is really pleasing to the eye, and she can't wait to stuff all these women to Bai Shengrui's side.
It wasn't until the evening that the old lady wrote the names of more than a dozen women on the roster, and then she did it, Wan Yan Lingyue wanted to see which ones the old lady had chosen, but the old lady stopped Wan Yan Lingyue, she couldn't let Wan Yan Ling Yue treat these women badly.
After dinner, Wan Yan Lingyue moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, peeling apples while quietly looking at Bai Shengrui, "That, let me tell you something?" ”
"Say." Bai Shengrui was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, because he was injured, his voice was not very angry, and it was a little soft.
Wanyan Lingyue took a bite of the peeled apple and sniffed, "Ahem, do you know that the concubine is helping you choose a side concubine?" ”
