Chapter 538: Tangled
Let's go back to Shen Mi's choice of concubines.
The matter was handed over to Concubine Tang,
The matter was handed over to Concubine Tang, and Concubine Tang has always been a diligent and down-to-earth person, and it only took a month to arrange the matter of choosing a concubine.
Coupled with the several processes in the early stage of the selection of concubines, the audition, selection, primary selection, and careful selection, it took more than half a month, which sounds like a long time, but for Shen Mi, it seems like a blink of an eye.
It was also in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the general election in front of the palace.
"What are you kidding, Your Majesty ......" Shen Shu sighed, he didn't dare to drink the wine that Shen Mi gave him, and quickly put the wine glass in his hand back on the table in front of him, "There has never been a precedent for this kind of thing, and the identity is ...... It can't be like that. β
The two drank under the moon, Shen Mi said that there was something important to discuss with Shen Shu, and he used this as an excuse to take all the subordinates away, Shen Shu still thought about what kind of big deal it was, but he didn't expect it to be......
Shen Mi, as a dignified son of heaven, would be afraid of choosing a concubine tomorrow, and still want him to sit in the palace with him tomorrow and help him choose a concubine?
This is simply impossible, the person who chooses the concubine is Shen Mi, not him......
As if he had expected Shen Shu's answer, Shen Mi spread his face on the table with a sad face, grabbing his hair in distress, "Wow, ah, ah, is that really the case...... Ahh β
I really don't know when Shen Shu no longer called Shen Shu 'little prince', but called him cousin, although he had never been called like this, but Shen Shu didn't feel overly disgusted, so he went with him.
"Your Majesty, I didn't say it...... You are now also the Ninety-Five Supreme, not to mention that you don't have a concubine at all, why are you still afraid of choosing a concubine now......" Shen Shu helplessly supported his forehead, this Shen Mi is able to pretend to be deep in front of others, and he is not a child who has not grown up in private, "If it is time to wait for the time to remake the harem, the girl is not afraid, but you are cowardly." β
In fact, there is no experience in getting married, so it's really no wonder that he is quiet. In order to prove his ability to the emperor before, he put all his experience on learning and practicing martial arts, and the official ladies met a few times at the school and the public banquet, and became familiar with Shi Qingqian, or because Shi Ke had been boasting about his good sister in his ear.
Shen Mi scratched his head, "Alas, I knew that this matter was so difficult, I should have gotten married earlier." β
"Hmm...... I think many of the people who came to participate in the selection of concubines this time should have seen it before, right? Shen Shu sighed, and did his best to find a way to calm him down, "What's there to be nervous about?" β
"But...... Those are people who have only one side. Shen Mi said, "Besides, women are different from men, I am already too late to get married, most of the young ladies who grew up with us have already married, and those who have not yet married are all like Xiao Qi'er and they have already married, so the people who come to choose concubines this time may not be those who grew up with us." β
Speaking of which, Shi Qingqian was precocious, she entered the Hanlin Academy early, so the women around her were all older than her, Shi Qingqian was only about to be seventeen this year, but the other women were basically in their early twenties and had already married.
Shen Shu sighed slightly, and then picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the mellow osmanthus brew, "Speaking of which, the young ladies of her age are not very familiar with her, no wonder I always saw her go out to play before, but in recent years, she has always stayed at home, and it turns out that everyone she knows has become relatives." β
"Cousin! I'm talking about me...... You know your little girl! Shen Mi slapped the table in protest.
"Okay, okay, I really can't do the thing you said," Shen Shu sighed helplessly, "When you choose a concubine tomorrow, just follow your feelings." β
Shen Mi's expression didn't improve at all, "But ...... I haven't liked any girl either......"
Shen Shu is helpless, Shen Mi seems to be a person who can talk to anyone very happily on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be so 'naΓ―ve', speaking of which he is not a person who does not mess with ordinary people, it is really unbelievable to be so innocent.
"Like it or not...... It's all about fate, just choose tomorrow, virtuous and virtuous, ghostly, and beautiful...... Anyway, there are so many choices, you are the emperor, and all kinds of types can be taken into your own harem. Shen Shu felt a little distressed again, and he helplessly helped his forehead, "Speaking of which, I have no experience in this kind of thing, and I'm not going to take a concubine or anything...... How do you want me to choose a concubine on the Pope? β
Hearing this, Shen Mi smiled lightly, "Hehe, if I also have a woman I like, maybe I won't be so worried about choosing a concubine at this time...... Alas," he said, raising his glass and sighing, "there will be a lot of concubines in the harem at that time, and now that the back seat is vacant, it will also be a troublesome matter." β
"Don't think about it so much," Shen Shu said, stood up gently, and prepared to leave, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, your majesty, just take your time tomorrow, anyway, you are the emperor, everything will not be a big problem." β
Having said that, but it should be worried or still worried, Shen Mi sighed and swallowed the wine in the cup alone.
Under the same full moon, there is not only Shen Mi who has not slept at this time.
Tomorrow is the time to enter the palace and choose a concubine in front of the palace, whether to go or stay is not all in the emperor's thoughts? Everyone knows this, and those deep ladies who have passed the layers of selection to break into here will naturally not easily deal with the last hurdle of tomorrow.
"Ah Rong, it's finally come to this point, you must not drop the chain tomorrow!"
"Hmph...... I didn't want to go! What a dangerous place is the harem...... Rather than being a concubine, my daughter wants to be a princess, even if it's a side concubine...... At least, there isn't that much intrigue! β
"Ah Rong, you are confused! Now that the position of the queen is vacant, if my Ah Rong can be the queen, it will be of great benefit to our Shen family! β
......The woman was silent, looking at the clothes in front of her, and there was a little sadness between her eyebrows.
