Chapter 604: It's time to choose a concubine
There are no more concubines in the emperor's harem, and it is completely a posture only for the queen.
Because of this move, I don't know how many ladies and ladies are envious. However, here I saw the noble Jin who used to have a title, and this noble Jin did not come by himself, but accompanied the Queen Mother, which has to be intriguing.
First, Jin Guiren is not from a high background, and he has no relationship with the Queen Mother, so naturally there is no reason to keep people in the palace for the sake of the face of his relatives. Second, although this noble Jin lived in the Chengqian Palace with the queen before, he was not close to the queen, and even did some dirty things, not to mention the queen's extrajudicial grace of sisterhood.
So in this way, what the emperor did on the surface of the queen turned out to be some bubbles? This noble Jin, in fact, was left by the emperor?
But if that's the case, why do you want to do something like purging the harem? Is the queen threatening the emperor?
Yes, it's the latter!
From the time the Queen Mother came in to the time she spoke, the guests at the banquet had already guessed a lot in their hearts, but they were not very sure.
At this time, seeing the Queen Mother's style and the nobles of Jin, Mu Ling already knew a little bit in his heart, and a smile hung on the corner of his lips, and he only followed Liang Chu's side.
"Why doesn't the queen mother rest in Cixi Palace? If you hurt your body, what is good? Liang Chu had already stood up with a smile, and there was a touch of worry between his eyebrows, which was not thick or light.
The Queen Mother smiled and stepped forward to look at Liang Chu: "Today is Xiao Qi's reception banquet, how can there be a reason why the mourning family can't come." ”
"The queen mother has won the award, or the queen mother's body is important."
Liang Yan hurriedly expressed his attitude, he would not accept this charge of causing the Queen Mother to make him sick.
The Queen Mother's expression did not change: "The body of the mourning family is very clear, but it is rare to gather all kinds of together today, and the mourning family also wants to see which clever person can get the lottery today, so that Xiao Qi looks at ......it differently."
The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer, the seven kings are not small now, and it is time to set up a concubine.
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the unmarried ladies of Yunying during the banquet all straightened up and did a good job, with a lot of manners, just to win the idea of the Seven Kings.
I just didn't want Liang Chu to smile suddenly, so he turned his eyes to the queen mother's side: "This king looks at the queen mother, this girl is good, well-behaved and quiet, and she looks very comfortable." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's expression immediately changed.
Anyone can do it, but this one can't be looked at by Liang Yan! Or that this one can only be favored by Liang Chu, and no one else can be!
And Liang Yan spent a lot of time in the palace in the past, and he had a lot of relationship with Mu Ling in the past, so it was impossible not to see the nobles of Jin. He knew Jin Guiren, but he still said such things, which showed that he was deliberately embarrassing the Queen Mother and Jin Guiren.
Only Liang Yan is really a gentle man, even if he says such frivolous words at this time, there is still a warm smile on the corner of his lips, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, extremely comfortable.
And he is so personable, and now he is a great general with military achievements, I don't think there is any woman who doesn't like it.
Jin Guiren only heard it once, and his heart was shy and apprehensive, but he was always mixed with excitement and excitement, and glanced at Liang Yan timidly.
At this glance, she turned pale and quickly lowered her head when she had never raised her eyes.
What did she just see? The Seven Kings, who had just returned triumphantly, had eyes full of sorrow and stared in the other direction.
Yes, he said that he liked her, but at the same time he looked at the other person with such deep eyes.
It turned out that all this was just her own delusion after all, and it turned out that the Seven Kings were just trying to embarrass her!
Jin Guiren thought of these almost immediately, his heart was sour and astringent, and his throat seemed to be blocked for a while, and he couldn't say a word.
Where does the Queen Mother have the time to pay attention to the mood of the nobles: "Xiao Qi has been out for many years, and it has become more and more uncertain to speak. This is your imperial brother's concubine, where can you ask for it. ”
That's what you say, but if the emperor speaks, it's naturally okay.
The emperor rewarded a few concubines to his courtiers, which was not a big deal originally. It's just that the Empress Dowager said that she would choose a concubine for Liang Yan, if Liang Chu took advantage of the situation to reward the nobles of Jin, wouldn't this be slapping Liang Yan's face in the face?
Even if Liang Chu looked at Liang Yan very unpleasantly because of the throne and Mu Ling's affairs, he would not embarrass Liang Yan in such a matter.
It was Liang Chu who only smiled slightly when he heard this, and naturally changed the topic: "Since the queen mother is here, let's sit down quickly." It's just that Miss Today hasn't started to perform yet, but the queen mother has come just in time. ”
"Oh? The mourner should have a good life. ”
The Queen Mother patted the hand of the noble lady and pulled her to sit down.
Although the noble Jin came out in the posture of a maidservant, but at this time she sat beside the queen mother in a grand manner, and those who didn't know saw it and really thought that it was a serious favorite concubine.
Although this kind of thing can't cause any actual loss to Mu Ling, it can also make her feel disgusting.
Originally, there was no procedure for the daughters of each family to perform at the banquet, but now that the queen mother has come and mentioned it, and the emperor has spoken, those daughters naturally dare not slack off, and they all hurriedly went to make preparations, planning to show up today to get a lottery, maybe they can really become the seventh princess.
It's just that this performance is nothing more than playing and singing, dancing and playing the piano, etc., and there is really nothing new about it.
Mu Ling looked at it for a while, and then felt a little drowsy, and he was also a little absent-minded when he sat on the top. A pair of eyes rolled and swept the audience carelessly.
The ministers gathered in twos and threes, some nervously watching the field, and some talking in whispers. Needless to say, the daughters of each family paid attention to the field and Liang Yan, for fear that they would not be able to choose themselves.
And the strange thing is that the Naruma envoy is indifferent.
It is said that Ruma is a country of bandits, and what kind of etiquette gesture is even more nonsense. Although it is very chic and uninhibited, it is also really annoying.
It stands to reason that the envoys sent by such a country are not arrogant and ignorant, but they will never have such an indifferent attitude, right?
This kind of indifferent and calm attitude really shouldn't have appeared in the body of the Ruma envoy.
Looking at Mu Ling's pupils, he suddenly shrank, and the Ruma envoy sitting on the left was obviously a little impatient, and he almost stood up several times, but was pressed down by the one on the right. And from beginning to end, it was clamped down by that.
