Chapter 302: Concubine Selection Ceremony
"Cai Shishi wants to participate in the selection of concubines?" He Jingjing confirmed again, and the eldest princess nodded.
It seems that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised him at the beginning has really been done, and He Jingjing is very happy when she thinks of Yan Ruyu's expression at this moment.
Yan Ruyu must have thought that Cai Shishi had secretly seduced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and won His Royal Highness's favor, and He Jingjing wanted this stimulating effect.
"Looks like everything is going according to plan. He Jingjing said to the eldest princess with a smile.
The eldest princess saw that He Jingjing's face improved visibly, and she was also happy for He Jingjing in her heart.
has been yin by these two people for so long, He Jingjing has never thought of taking revenge on these two people, and this time she will try to rub the sharpness of both of them at a time.
"Be careful. The eldest princess told He Jingjing again uneasily, and He Jingjing nodded.
"I'm the one who spares my life the most, and I will never be able to do something too out of line. ”
He Jingjing talked to the eldest princess for a while, and then returned to the small courtyard where she once lived with Ye Haixuan to rest.
Thinking about the days when she came to this era, He Jingjing felt a little mysterious, those lives that she had never thought of were being experienced, and the characters who had always appeared in books were also dealing with her.
Although the future is uncertain, when she thinks of that person, He Jingjing's heart is warm, and she always feels that her heart, which has been wandering for a long time, has a harbor and to rely on.
"Haixuan, are you okay?" He Jingjing looked at the moonlight outside the window, pinning her lovesickness on the moon.
And the person in the distance seemed to feel this longing, and also raised his head to look at the extraordinarily bright moonlight tonight, I don't know how much fog there is in the quiet night, and how many dangerous things are in the depths of the fog?
Early the next morning, He Jingjing got up and dressed up.
It was not that He Jingjing was active in the concubine selection ceremony, but that the eldest princess sent someone over early in the morning to drag He Jingjing up, and seven or eight maids surrounded He Jingjing to wash and groom He Jingjing.
He Jingjing only needs to close his eyes and wait for someone to serve, Rao is like this, He Jingjing still feels a little unbearable.
Today's concubine selection ceremony is a very formal occasion, and the dress can't be as casual as usual, and the bun is also very heavy, He Jingjing feels that her head will lean forward if she doesn't pay attention.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, is this hair ornament worn by people, why is it so heavy. He Jingjing finally cleaned up and walked out of the courtyard gate, and after not walking a few steps, she felt that she was going to be exhausted.
Looking at the eldest princess with more exaggerated hair ornaments in front of her, He Jingjing was really impressed in her heart, and couldn't help blurting out a few complaints.
"You are content, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, the court dress requirements have been lowered a lot, if it is according to the standards of the emperor, the things on your county lord's head can be ten catties. ”
When He Jingjing heard the standards of the previous emperor, she was very glad that she was born in the current era, if she was involved in the grievances and grievances of the previous dynasty, not to mention anything else, she would have to overwhelm herself with such a cumbersome dress.
"It's not too early, let's go to the palace. The eldest princess looked at the sky and pulled He Jingjing into the carriage to the palace.
Today is a big day for the selection of concubines, outside the palace, whether it is participating in the selection of concubines or onlookers who are watching the selection of concubines, they are in groups, surrounding the gate of the entire palace, He Jingjing and the eldest princess's carriage arrived, and took the token to pass through the crowd.
"Why are there so many people? He Jingjing looked at the heads of those people who were looking forward to it, and felt a little stunned, isn't it just a concubine selection ceremony, why did so many people come.
"Of course, this is to choose the crown princess for His Royal Highness the Prince, who is the crown princess? The prince's original wife, if it goes well, she will be the future queen. ”
He Jingjing nodded, thinking about it is indeed very important.
While the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the palace hall, He Jingjing was not clear about these etiquettes at all, and followed the eldest princess to salute the emperor and queen and sat in her place.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting beside the emperor, and there was no expression on his face, and He Jingjing didn't give He Jingjing even a look if he wanted to interact with him.
It seems that this prince's usual etiquette training is quite good.
He Jingjing was bored and watched the ministers enter the palace and take their seats, and began to talk to the emperor and the family, after all, he wanted to choose a concubine for his son, and it was a happy event no matter how he looked at it.
The emperor seems to be in a pretty good mood today, and those who are seated are also ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are not many conditions that can allow all the ministers of the DPRK and China to gather and create opportunities for talks.
Therefore, if the ministers do not have a girl of appropriate age to send to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to choose a concubine, they are actively communicating, and maybe they can find a friend and one less enemy for their future path.
For a while, the whole palace became quite lively, and the musicians next to it also began to blow and play, and I have to say that it is still very difficult for this kind of palace concubine to do well.
Although he tried the strategy once, the emperor did a pretty good job, and although He Jingjing couldn't see any Taoism in these sets and music, he could feel that the style was very high.
He Jingjing watched the performance with great interest, eating a few fruit snacks on the case, and from time to time to learn from the eldest princess which minister sat where, what his position was, and what kind of intersection he could have in the future.
For those more important ministers, He Jingjing also made a key memory, and after a while, He Jingjing was chatting happily with the eldest princess, and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Concubine Yan is here. He Jingjing whispered to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess followed He Jingjing's eyes, and sure enough, Concubine Yan appeared, but her temperament was not as domineering as she usually showed, and at this time, she was more shy, and uneasy?
"Why is she so serious now?" He Jingjing asked the eldest princess strangely.
The eldest princess smiled, picked up her teacup, covered her mouth and said a few words to He Jingjing, who smiled after listening.
After all, she sent her own niece to choose for His Royal Highness the Prince, so it's no wonder that Concubine Yan is not nervous.
Although he was favored by the emperor and the harem of the favored crown has been prosperous for a long time, he still has not ascended to the position of the queen.
As for the reason, He Jingjing also understood a little, Concubine Yan's family background didn't seem to be very good.
He Jingjing knew that the death of the original owner's father was inseparable from this concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan didn't know why she was planning to suppress herself, and even sent someone to assassinate her.
"Concubine Yan is actually quite pitiful. ”
