Chapter 278: Selection
Within a few days, I received a notice from the palace, saying that she had been preparing to choose a wife and concubine for Ning Hou in the past few days.
Thinking that autonomy must be in his own hands, Shangguan Juan prepared and went to the palace.
In order to stop Shangguan Rong's worries, Shangguan Juan had to be cautious.
When I came to the queen's palace, I saw a group of maids, each holding a portrait.
"Hurry up, come and see, these are all portraits of the ladies." Seeing Shangguan Juan, the queen hurriedly greeted her.
For the things promised, the queen is still more concerned.
"Queen Mother, I hope to be able to participate in my father's choice of wives and concubines, and I want to choose myself, after all, we will live together in the future."
"This is a small problem, it is Ninghou Candidate, then you, as the eldest lady of Ninghou Mansion, naturally have the right to speak."
The queen did not speak, the emperor's meaning was to rest assured, and said that in the future, people would get along together, so naturally the meaning of Ning Hou would be the most important.
I accompanied the queen to see the portrait for several days, and finally came to the day of the official selection.
Unfortunately, Shangguan Rong had already left Beijing a few days ago, so Shangguan's family was alone. Shangguan Rong is also deliberately hiding, and Shangguan Juan also understands.
When I came to the imperial garden in the palace, a hundred flowers bloomed, but I didn't expect to make an appointment directly, Shangguan Wan glanced at the queen strangely... It's baked on a knife rack!
By the time Shangguan Juan and the queen appeared, the imperial garden was already full of people, all of whom were ladies, with their daughters and sisters in attendance.
After a war of words, Shangguan Wan listened to the talents, talents, and various displays of the daughters of each family.
There are crowds of people all around, and it's really crowded.
Mu Chenjue is Shangguan Juan's scholar, such a big thing can't be a tongue, and together with vanilla, he can only look at Shangguan Juan's situation in a hurry, and can only follow behind him all the time, separating those crowds.
I didn't expect the queen mother to be so tight, and I thought that these ladies and ladies would know who to call the shots.
Mu Chenjue originally wanted to go to his dormitory to have a look, but he couldn't leave for a while.
Finally squeezed out of the crowd and came to a quiet place, this posture is too scary.
Mu Chenjue has already discovered the person he has arranged, and now he only needs to call Shangguan Juan to find out and everything will be fine.
Taking advantage of the fact that Shangguan Juan is disgusted with those ladies and ladies, the time is just right.
"Miss, there's a very quiet girl there, and it's really out of place here." Following the direction pointed out by Mu Chenjue, Shangguan Juan also found the person in that corner.
After inquiring about the palace maid, I learned that it was the concubine of the Luo family, and there was no one to accompany her today, so she came alone.
It seems that he is not favored at home.
"Go, call the girl of the Luo family forward."
It was still the time for the ladies and ladies of each family to show their talents, and no one noticed that someone had already walked up to the upper seat with an inconspicuous girl.
By the time everyone reacted, the Luo family girl was already by Shangguan Juan's side.
"I've seen the queen's mother, I've seen the Shangguan girl, and the courtier's daughter Luo Yu."
Not only is the person quiet, but the voice is also gentle and soft, and the appetite, Shangguan Juan is very satisfied.
"Queen Mother, it's her, this is the concubine I chose for my father." Shangguan Juan said in a low voice, and the queen was shocked at first and finally realized when she heard it.
No matter how the crowd reacts, Shangguan Juan has an expression, and the identity of an orphan girl is appropriate... The appearance is good, but you can test the reaction of each family first...
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!" Luo Yu didn't expect this, and didn't react when he got the queen's command, but the people around him pushed and shoved before he reacted.
The Luo family was in a hurry, it was a concubine's room, and a little lady sent people in through the lower door.
Shangguan Rong didn't come over, Shangguan Juan could only solve the matter of residence by himself, and for Aunt Luo's residence, he had already cleaned it up before, and it was very close to Ning Hou's residence.
Shangguan Juan wanted to take a look again, and when he was about to reach the courtyard, he suddenly saw Aunt Shen coming from a distance.
Speeding up the pace didn't dodge, this Aunt Shen's stomach is fake, Shangguan Juan has to be suspicious, this is like flying.
"Yo, what kind of person is this bringing with the eldest lady, why is it very eye-catching."
Look at this sarcastic tone, don't you know the person you brought back.
"Aunt Shen, this one is Aunt Luo, in the future, I will serve my father with you, let's say hello."
"I've seen my sister." Luo Yu hurriedly said.
"Don't, what sister, this daughter chooses a concubine room for her father, it's the first time I've seen it, the eldest lady is a good means." Aunt Shen saw that Luo Yu looked young, and she also hated Shangguan and the two of them.
Shangguan Juan was just about to say something when he saw that Aunt Luo, who he had just brought back, had already stepped forward and walked to Aunt Shen.
"Sister still has to pay attention to the way she speaks, although you and I are the concubines of the Hou Ye, but after all, we are half a subordinate, the eldest lady is golden and noble, but you can't arrange it at will." Looking at the face in front of her, who was much younger than herself, Aunt Shen was extremely angry in her heart. I didn't expect it to be a sharp tooth!
Aunt Shen has been planning carefully for so long, and the good life has not yet passed, so there is another slut.
Taking advantage of Aunt Shen's stunned, Shangguan Juan was too lazy to take care of it, and led everyone directly into the courtyard, and as soon as the gate was closed, she could see how she could make trouble.
This Aunt Luo looks soft and weak, but it's okay to speak without suffering.
After explaining a few words to the subordinates of the entire courtyard, Shangguan Juan took the people away, and went to bring Shangguan Rong.
Aunt Luo looked at Shangguan Wan who had left, and there was a change in her eyes, this is the person she wanted to protect.
Shangguan Rong had just returned to the mansion, and before he had walked a few steps, he saw his daughter coming in a hurry, and he started to run with him.
This old bone of his own is about to fall apart.
Shangguan Rong didn't see the weak and quiet beauty standing in front of him, and reacted, this is the person he chose for his house to come back.
"Daddy, this is Aunt Luo, she is quiet and gentle, and she is the most considerate."
"You're in such a hurry to bring your father here."
Shangguan Juan felt as if she was in a hurry, but she was not afraid that Aunt Shen's restless master would make some kind of moth.
"The concubine has seen Master Hou." Aunt Luo offered the tea that had been built, and stood aside, without saying a word, and let Shangguan Rong look at it.
On the way back, this Luo family's maiden already knew some details.
This personality is very different from Aunt Shen, no wonder her daughter chose her.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Shangguan Juan directly withdrew with people, so let's get along with ourselves.
"Come on, guard the yard for me today, if Aunt Shen's people dare to come, they will kick me out."
Mu Chenjue glanced at the small courtyard again, and went out with Shangguan Juan, and his own people still came in, which was much easier than he imagined.
Arrange someone to guard the courtyard, Shangguan Juan plans to go back, and the person is brought back, but what the final result is, it is not forced.
Let everything go with the flow.
