Emperor Longqing wondered if he would choose a few more young girls to enter the palace?

Then he shook his head secretly, it was no longer suitable for the selection of noble ministers and women to enter the palace!

There are many innocent girls in the Hengzhi people, which is enough for him to enjoy, after all, he not only pays attention to beauty now, but also considers the former dynasty and Lichu.

If the harem enters the relatives of important ministers, he will be annoyed.

Spoiling the concubine is just to be happy, and he doesn't want to waste any more effort on the harem.

However, he can choose the princess for the princes in the house of the noble ministers.

Although the four princes have concubines, they lack side concubines, and the concubines of the three princes passed away due to illness last year, so they should also choose a concubine to save the miasma in the backyard of the three princes.

There are also five princes and others who also need concubines.

By the way, there are also two sons left by the former prince.

For the sake of fame, Emperor Longqing did not target the two sons left by the prince of the first emperor, but if he didn't make a move, naturally someone would understand and help.

One of the sons of the first crown prince was lame, and the other was stupid.

And, of course, Lu Zheng!

Emperor Longqing's eyes were a little more cautious.

After the sixth princess laughed, she no longer embarrassed Gu Yao, or forced her to sacrifice her ugliness.

Gu Yao is a lot cleaner, and she also has the heart to appreciate the talent of the lady.

The ladies who dare to show their talents have their own extraordinary, and their reputation as talented women is not blown.

Gu Yao secretly admired their talents.

These paintings and poems are the work of their hearts, and they can only achieve them by studying and practicing hard.

She even stopped copying other people's poems to become famous and suppress the thoughts of contemporary ladies.

The queen mother and other concubines also nodded frequently, and the concubines who had the intention to choose the main concubine for their son were like the most stringent examiners, examining every lady.

Concubine De's gaze swept in the direction of the sixth princess from time to time, as if she was worried about her daughter, but in fact, her eyes fell more on the girls who accompanied her daughter.

The six princesses had a lot of temptations for the girls during their conversations, Gu Yao pulled the corners of her mouth, the six princesses and Concubine De really cooperated tacitly.

However, listening to the meaning of the sixth princess, she is closer to the eighth prince, but her eldest brother the fourth prince rarely mentions it.

The fourth princess was praised by her.

Gu Yao quietly swept over the table where the princes were sitting, although she was separated from the distance, she could still see the princes' faces clearly.

The princes who are still alive today are not too old, and the eldest three princes are only one or two years older than Lu Zheng, not more than twenty years old.

The third prince was born two years before the death of the first emperor, when Emperor Longqing was still the prince, only the two sons born to Empress Lu, and later the eldest son died, and only the second son was born.

Gu Yao once again sighed at the cleverness of the Li family, and it was not until Emperor Longqing ascended the throne that he had more sons.

At that time, Queen Lu's health was not very good.

"Your Majesty, the woman who performed has arrived."

Always watch talented women write poems and paint, or play the piano will be crooked.

After all, Emperor Longqing has been watching these talents for decades.

It's not for the prince and Lu Zheng to choose a wife, he really doesn't have the patience to continue appreciating.

What's more, he will not decide the choice of his sons' wives based on their talents, but more on their family background and the official loyalty of their fathers and brothers.

The Queen Mother was old and loved to be lively, so Emperor Longqing selected a few juggling teams from outside the palace.

"Okay, let the ladies rest first."

The ladies in line were slightly disappointed, but they didn't dare to raise objections, so they returned to their positions for the time being, and sat down in a dignified manner.

A gong and drum sounded in unison, and women dressed in colorful clothes danced with beautiful bodies, either dancing or shaking plates and plates.

Compared with the singers and dancers in the workshop, their dancing posture and skills gave Emperor Longqing a sense of novelty, as well as the fire-breathing man, everyone was amazed.

Gu Yao was also quite interested in ancient acrobatics, and she couldn't take her eyes off it, but suddenly she felt flustered in her heart, and her intuition was wrong.

She subconsciously went to find Lu Zheng.

After discovering that Lu Zheng was not there, she glanced in the direction of Gu Siye again, and then found a few good places to hide the accident.

It's always right to be careful.

In case of an accident, in addition to taking care of herself, she also has Gu Siye to worry about, and she can't watch him have something.

Emperor Longqing applauded the fire-breathing man, and the fire-breathing man and the juggling and dancing woman drew their soft swords from their waists and went straight to Emperor Longqing.

"Avenge the first prince!"

"Kill the rebel and usurper tyrant!"

Everyone was stunned, this is an assassin?

How can it be?!

Isn't this at the Royal Palace?

The guards all eat dry food? Didn't check this group of people before entering the palace?

Gu Yao reacted quickly, and immediately squatted down, she didn't have the heart to do anything to save the driver, it was important to protect her life first.

The main hall caught fire, after all, they had just performed a fire-breathing, and they carried a lot of fuel to support combustion.

It was only when the fire broke out that everyone realized that the assassination was real, not a hallucination or an illusion.

At this time, no matter how calm they usually are, they ran out one by one in a panic.

And most of the princes went straight to Emperor Longqing in the opposite direction, "Father, father." ”

Showing filial piety is obviously more important than running for your life.

Gu Yao had already chosen the escape path and went straight to Gu Siye, "Dad, let's go quickly." ”

She grabbed Gu Siye's arm, didn't talk nonsense, and dragged Gu Siye to the door.

"Yao'er, don't run."

Gu Siye grabbed Gu Yao with his backhand, took it into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Don't move first, something is wrong." ”

Gu Yao's strength is obviously not as great as Gu Siye's, "When is it?" If you talk more, I won't care about you. ”

Gu Siye pressed Gu Yao hard, "The guards guarding the palace gate are your uncle's people, just your uncle's serious appearance, how could he let the assassin get in?" ”

"Even if you don't believe in your uncle, you have to believe in your uncle!"

“……”

Gu Yao stopped and followed Gu Siye to the corner.

Gu Siye dragged Yao'er with one hand, and Jiang Wuye, who was almost paralyzed with the other, seeing Gu Yao calm down, "Help Ye help Jiang Lao Wu, he ate so much in the past, he is fat again." ”

He kicked Jiang Lao Wu in disgust, "It's not that I see that you are pitiful, so I won't save you!" ”

Before the assassin launched, Jiang Wuye drank a little too much, it was the dizziness and grogginess, and the nervousness after the assassin appeared did not make him sober, but made him unconscious.

Gu Siye could only drag Jiang Wuye away from the place where the fire started.

With Gu Yao's help, Gu Siye was much more relaxed, and they soon came to a relatively quiet and safe corner.

At this time, Gu Yao found that the fire was not big, but the smoke was billowing out, which seemed serious, but in fact, when the smoke dissipated, the whole hall would not be too damaged.

And Emperor Longqing was surrounded by the prince and the guards, and those assassins couldn't get in at all.

It's like a play!

"Since Dad found out that something was wrong, why didn't he go ......?"

"You asked me to come to the rescue?"

Gu Siye pursed his lips disdainfully, "Ye doesn't have the heart to accompany the emperor to act!" What's more, the lord doesn't seek glory and wealth, and the high-ranking officials are generous, so he won't be tired to save the driver. ”
