King Ning's day of choosing a concubine has arrived.

Zhu Yongning was dressed in a happy purple body, and his spirit was extremely high.

Today is a family banquet, and the people attending the banquet are basically members of the royal family, as well as the six candidate girls and their families.

As the protagonist, King Ning originally planned to arrive later, but he thought that the old lady of the Tao family would also come today, and he couldn't let the old man look down on him, so he decided to arrive an hour earlier than the banquet time to show his solemnity.

His heart was full of joy. His people have been keeping an eye on the Tao family and the Thai royal palace. After Tao Yun went back yesterday, the Tao family never had a car out. And the princess of Thailand originally asked someone to travel, but she was defeated and returned angrily, and I heard that she was betrayed.

King Ning felt that she was dating Tao Yun.

Tao Yun really stood on his side.

Everything is stable.

That's great!

Zhu Yongning took an ice towel and applied it to his face, he drank high with Zhu Chengyi last night, he almost didn't remember how he went back to the palace, he had a headache!

After drinking two more bowls of honey tea, he tidied up his clothes and crowns, and first went to the imperial study to greet the emperor, and then went to the direction of the harem.

It's a coincidence, as soon as I entered the harem, I met the Xiao family and a group of female dependents.

They are also heading in the direction of the Imperial Garden, where today's banquet will be held.

Miss Xiao is the daughter of Xiao Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, and she is also one of the six candidates today.

At this moment, Miss Xiao, who was excellent-looking, suddenly blushed, and King Ning couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

If nothing else, the main thing is to enjoy the feeling of being admired.

His chest was a little erect again.

Several people greeted each other.

King Ning is a talented and promising person, Mrs. Xiao family saw it in her eyes, her heart was happy, and she naturally wanted to get closer to King Ning, and when she came up, she praised King Ning a lot, which made the corners of King Ning's mouth upturned, and she was proud.

To say, although the Xiao family hopes to climb to King Ning, they didn't have much hope for their own girl after reading the list earlier. After all, her family is lagging behind in every way.

In terms of identity, they are not as good as the cousin girl of the concubine's family. In terms of status, they are not as good as Tao Yun. In terms of relationship, it is far inferior to Ning Wang's cousin. Although they got the opportunity, no matter how they looked at it, they all felt that their family was making up the numbers.

However, they were lucky.

As soon as I entered the palace gate, I heard a palace maid talking, saying that I saw that King Ning had just gone to the imperial study, and he would enter the harem in about a quarter of an hour, so he had to hurry up and prepare Yunyun......

When Mrs. Xiao heard it in her ears, she inevitably moved.

A quarter of an hour, it's easy!

It's man-made, maybe this is an opportunity given by God?

So, she took her daughter to slow down her pace, and waited near the fork in the road from the imperial study to the harem one step earlier, and sure enough, she soon "bumped into" King Ning.

Since the end point is the same place, parting lanes at this moment is deliberate. So the two people naturally walked together while talking.

Words have long been organized in waiting, and now they are a set.

Mrs. Xiao can speak well, and a compliment makes King Ning, who has been a transparent person for nearly 20 years, feel comfortable, and another look forward and blessing for the future makes King Ning's blood flow, so that King Ning nods frequently It should be recognition.

Miss Xiao interjected very appropriately, and showed admiration and admiration, which attracted the attention of King Ning several times.

Mrs. Xiao did not forget to bring in the advantages of her own family and her recommendation to her daughter in her speech, and almost explicitly suggested that King Ning choose her own family.

King Ning really thinks this is good. Mrs. is capable, Miss is good-looking, but it's a pity that the men in their family are only mere waiters, and although the future sounds good, it still takes a long time to work hard, compared to the Tao family, it is still far behind.

King Ning was shaking his head in his heart, but he was still smiling on his face.

The mother and daughter of this family speak so beautifully, and he likes the feeling of being looked up to.

However, a shout pulled him back from his smug state.

The voice shouted the words "His Royal Highness King Ning".

In fact, Zhu Yongning had already identified the owner of the voice the first moment he heard the voice, and frowned.

He followed the sound, and sure enough, he found the figure not far away.

A delicate woman in pink was looking at him and smiling.

That kind of smile is not the gentle smile that the nobles used to hang on their faces, but the kind of smile that is arrogant and sarcastic, and easily provokes Zhu Yongning's nerves.

This is Yin Xin, who was the concubine and the king of Thailand who pulled the red line in their early years and prepared to give it to Zhu Yongning.

The noble lady's family comes from the big family, her maternal grandmother's family is surnamed Yin, the Yin family has deep roots, and the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty also had his family funding, so the status of the Yin family in the Great Zhou is very extraordinary.

But apart from status and fame, there is no real power. King Ning naturally didn't like this marriage, which made him feel that it was just a kind of control.

And this Yin Xin always boasts of a high status, so she is rude and willful, and her eyes are empty.

Zhu Yongning hated her, but in his early years, he didn't dare to refuse, let alone show dissatisfaction, he didn't have a strong maternal family, if he was abandoned by starlings and concubines, he would be nothing. So he's been putting up with it. Every time there was a banquet, he couldn't bear to watch Yin Xin sway in front of him, and he had to laugh from time to time.

No, being shouted coldly by her at this moment, Zhu Yongning was uncomfortable, and he wanted to pretend to turn a blind eye, and even wanted to leave quickly.

But her voice was so loud that even the palace people looked at it, and he couldn't pretend.

And he also knew that if he threw his sleeves and left, she would definitely not let go, and maybe she would have to run to complain.

Therefore, he can only endure it.

Fortunately, I only need to endure the last half a day, and when my father announces the decision, after the final decision, no matter how arrogant the concubine is, no matter how uncomfortable the starling is, it will be useless. When the time comes, he will no longer have to deal with this surnamed Yin.

"Shouting and screaming, what kind of system!" Zhu Yongning was shouted by her again, and the hairs on his back stood up.

"Yo! His Royal Highness is really different from what it used to be, and he is full of confidence. ”

Yin Xin moved her gaze to Miss Xiao again, and the unhappiness on her face was also revealed. Seeing that the mother and daughter of the Xiao family actually followed Zhu Yongning here, her heart was even more angry. "That girl, I have something to say to His Royal Highness King Ning, can you avoid suspicion?"

These blunt words came out loudly, and the eyes of the palace people were all staring at Miss Xiao.

The red on Miss Xiao's face quickly stained her eyes. The laughter of the palace people stung her, and they were clearly making fun of her for "stalking". She wants fame and face, so she hurried away. Xiao's mother originally wanted to fight back, but at this moment, she had to hurry up and chase her daughter to comfort her......

Zhu Yongning only felt a headache, and stepped forward a few steps to Yin Xin: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Hmph, it's not because of you!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I took the time to think you should be coming soon, so I'll be waiting for you here. I don't know if you just wait until you and other girls talk and laugh. Yin Xin's eyes were red.

Zhu Yongning saw that she was sad because she was jealous, and her face finally looked better.

"As soon as I was in a hurry, I fell. You see. Yin Xin stretched out her hands, one hand was muddy, and her fingers were scratched. The skirt and shoes were full of mud spots, which was very embarrassing. "It hurts." She sniffled.

"What's up with you? Where's your girl? ”

"In order to surprise you, I didn't bring a minion, so I hid behind this tree, but I didn't know that it was so slippery here, and I couldn't stand for a while." Her long eyelashes were already a little moist when they fanned aggrievedly.

"Let's go, find a place to clean up."

"I don't! Look at me so embarrassed, won't I make people laugh when I go out! Yin Xin gestured not far away, and the handkerchief that had been blown to the tree by the wind. Your Highness will help me get a handkerchief, and I'll wipe the mud first. ”

Zhu Yongning raised his head and found that the handkerchief was flying too high, and he had to use tools to get it. Where does he have the heart to do this today?

He directly beckoned a few attendants not far away and asked them to get a ladder to help get the veil.

Turning back to Yin Xin's resentful eyes, and looking at her dirty and bloody hands, he didn't dare to throw her away. In addition, the time was not early, so he couldn't delay it, so he had to call someone to find Miss Yin's servants to come over, and at the same time wipe Yin Xin's hands with the sweat towel he had brought with him.

Yin Xin smiled, unceremoniously took the towel and wiped it. "Then I'll let the girl wash the hand towel and return it to you, or will I give you two new ones?"

Zhu Yongning looked at his purple towel was full of dirty mud, and then saw that after Yin Xin walked out of the tree, he immediately regained his arrogance, and his heart was unhappy and rose again:

"No need. This towel is at your disposal, and you don't have to return me a new one. He didn't want to have anything to do with this woman. As for this scarf, it is not a special thing, it has neither a name nor a logo, and it is not afraid of causing trouble if it is thrown away.

Zhu Yongning signaled to the servant behind him, and ordered him to quickly arrange a nearby place to freshen up Miss Yin, and then prepared to leave.

Yin Xin sneered again and stopped Zhu Yongning.

"I hurt for you, and you just abandoned me?"

Zhu Yongning was angry: "Why don......'t you abandon it?"

"Let me ask you," Yin Xin interrupted, "What is your relationship with that Miss Xiao?" Has your princess been decided? Is it Miss Xiao or who? You've left me out, haven't you? ”

Zhu Yongning took a deep breath.

He only has the last two hours left before he finally decides on the princess candidate, the last small step, and he naturally has to stabilize at this time.

"My princess has not yet been decided, and this matter mainly depends on my father's wishes. How could Ms. Yin be excluded as a candidate? Don't be angry, quickly pack up and get ready for the feast. You have a noble status, and the opportunity should not be small. ”

"Will you choose me, then?" Yin Xin asked bluntly.

"......" Zhu Yongning had no waves on his face, but he was actually annoyed.

"You and I are childhood sweethearts. You can't go wrong with me. ”

"This matter depends on the will of my father." Zhu Yongning couldn't afford to offend, so he naturally pushed the emperor's head. "Instead of worrying about it at the moment, it's better to hurry up and hurry up. It's not too early. ”

"Then you take me to the changing room."

"I have to go to the banquet first......"

"You didn't have that attitude towards Miss Xiao just now."

“…… I'll send you there. ”

"That's pretty much ......," Yin Xin smiled.

……

Although it is a concubine, they are all characters with heads and faces, so it is naturally impossible to stand in a row and pick and choose, so it is to make some observations and comparisons between eating and drinking, and finally determine one.

Rong An also participated. She participated as Changning's sister-in-law. And the seat was arranged by Zhu Chengyi's side.

She is very willing to come here to see the excitement, so naturally she can't be missing.

"Everything, it's all arranged?" Zhu Chengyi looked at her fixedly, and asked quietly.

"Do you know a lot?" Rong An squinted at the man.

"Huh!" He didn't know much. It's just that seeing Tao Yun's relaxed face, the clouds are light and light, the Tao family lady and the old man Tao are not nervous, and the princess of Thailand is also at ease and whispers beside the concubine, which shows that these people should be planning almost.

"This time, you have harvested a lot of favors and benefits outside, right?" Zhu Chengyi poured Rong An full of wine. "Isn't it unfair to us that you didn't tell me clearly, so you made me and Changning into knives?"

"Isn't it a family? It's so clear! Rong An smiled.

"Anyway, you remember, and you owe me a favor."

"If you owe, you owe, remember it yourself!" There are too many lice to itch, and she can't count them anyway. Random!

Watch the show!

Rong An looked at the six nobles on the field with all kinds of eyes, and secretly poked and poked the flying knife in his words, it was so interesting!

And while Zhu Yongning tried his best to make a bowl of water even, his little eyes also flew in the direction of Tao Yun.

At the banquet, the ladies were coaxed into playing with the wine order.

The emperor improvised and arranged for the flower order to go down.

In this way, everyone's ability, literary brilliance, quick wit, ingenuity and adaptability are tested.

After a few laps, it was obvious that Tao Yun and Miss Xiao were very comfortable, but Changning, who rarely played such games, knew nothing.

During this period, Changning also intended to ask Rong An for help, "Teach me, as the head of Qixi Festival, it's okay to think about it, let us see it." ”

Rong An made a mistake and knew that her name was seeking advice, which was clearly difficult.

In order to make Changning obedient, as a sister-in-law, she naturally can't be stunned.

"Keep your eyes open and take a good look at what technology is." Rong An made an order......

Ay!

Practice makes perfect. Play hundreds of times, and stupid people can become masters. Rong An in his previous life was bored for half his life, and he was tired of playing like this. When she got off the field, it was almost crushing.

Everyone was convinced, and they could only sigh that this Yu Rongan was indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people, and he couldn't ride a horse.

Changning pouted, this sister-in-law is really difficult, if she wants to make her embarrassed, why is it so difficult......

The emperor also let the girls show off their talents.

Tao Yun wrote a poem, Miss Xiao wrote a word, and Miss Yin filled in the first word...... When she arrived in Changning, Rong An thought that she would want to play the whip method, but she said that she wanted to paint.

Even Zhu Chengyi gasped and was ready to be embarrassed.

But fortunately, although the stinky girl is average, the sycophants are good.

Although the dragon is rough, the majestic atmosphere is a little out.

Finally, it's not a shame.

At the end of the banquet, the emperor beckoned Zhu Yongning to whisper a few words, and then gave the handle of jade Ruyi down, signaling him to choose someone by himself, and put the jade Ruyi in the hands of the girl he liked.

Zhu Yongning had made up his mind, picked up Ruyi, and walked in the direction of Tao Yun.

He finally stood in front of Tao Yun, and then handed Ruyi out.

Tao Yun was shy, and after a pause, he stretched out his hand.

"Stop!"

Zhu Yongning was just about to put Ruyi down, but two coquettish cheers sounded behind him at the same time.

Tao Yun's lips hooked, and his hand was retracted.

And Zhu Yongning was so startled that he almost lost his wishful thinking in his hand.
