It wasn't until the time of choosing a concubine that I knew why the queen and Pei were so keen on choosing a concubine. It turned out that the queen's niece, Pei's younger sister Pei Lin, was also in the scope of the election.

"I haven't seen her for a few years, Pei Lin is really getting more and more beautiful, yes, she has the momentum of our royal family."

The Queen Mother praised her niece while smiling and glancing at me.

I said in my heart: "Her tone should be very queenly, right?" ”

"The Queen Mother praised it falsely, compared to the Queen Mother, Lin'er's talent is really shallow, and Lin'er should work hard to learn from the Queen Mother in the future."

"Ha, it seems that this Pei Lin is also big enough, and when she comes up, she will consider herself the future successor of the palace." I was dismissive, but I tried to keep a calm smile on my face.

"Oh, our Lin'er mouth is so sweet." The Queen Mother waved her hand, pointed to the empty chair on the side and said, "Come, come and sit down at Auntie's place." ”

"Yes."

Pei Lin didn't push, got up and walked slowly to the chair. At this time, Xiao Qi Yuan, who was watching the excitement on the side, suddenly stopped him.

"This chair is mine, you can't sit on it!"

"Qi Yuan, don't make trouble!" Pei Qiuyun stepped forward and pulled Qi Yuan back, "This is your aunt, don't you know each other?" ”

Pei Qiuyun's voice was supposed to be suppressed, but for some reason, when it reached my ears, it was very clear.

"Aunt can't do it, this position is mine, I've just gone to the toilet, how can I come back and even have no place to sit." Qi Yuan turned around and threw himself on the chair, and said coquettishly: "I don't care, no one can take my seat, no one can." ”

"Qi Yuan!" Pei Qiuyun stretched out his hand to pull Qi Yuan, and reprimanded in his mouth: "Why are you so blind, this is an order from your imperial grandmother, do you dare to disobey it?" ”

After speaking, Pei Qiuyun glanced back at me, and the Queen Mother and Pei Lin also glanced at me, of course I know what these three women mean. I laughed to myself: "A bunch of stupid women who pretend to be witty. ”

I stretched my waist, got up and saluted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, my sons are a little tired, and I want to be lazy and take a rest." As for the matter of choosing a concubine for the emperor, it will be decided by the Queen Mother and Princess Peace, and it is estimated that His Majesty the Emperor will not have any doubts. ”

"It's not good, it's a matter of the harem, the queen doesn't participate, so ......"

"Princess Ping really has a lot of words today!" I turned my head and glared at Pei Qiuyun, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that Princess Ping still knows that the selection of concubines is a matter of the harem?" But it doesn't matter, if you like to mix, and the Queen Mother also agrees, you can decide, as for who the master of the harem is......"

I turned my head to the Queen Mother and saluted, and then said lightly: "The Queen Mother should understand very well." ”

I smiled and took a step back, turned around and left with Du Ruo and Cuiyun. When I passed by Pei Lin's side, I found Pei Lin looking down at me, and I couldn't help but smile confidently and walked over without looking.

"Queen Mother, aren't we going back to the palace?" Du Ruo saw that I was going in the wrong direction, so he asked curiously: "Is this going out of the palace?" ”

"Du Ruo, don't go out of the palace, it sounds like going to the toilet." I quipped: "It's too stuffy in the palace, let's go to Yunyi Courtyard to sit down, and it's a little clean." ”

"Well, it's okay, just in time to taste the craftsmanship of purple jade."

"You're a gluttonous cat, you know how to eat!"

When she took Du Ruo and Cuiyun to Yunyi Courtyard, Ziyu happened to make a cool cake.

"It's good that Miss Ziyu is still at ease, and it's good to make pastries in the other courtyard if you have nothing to do."

"The queen is laughing again, I'm a cook who doesn't cook food, what are I doing?" Ziyu said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence that you came, Niangniang, I tried this cool cake a few times, and it was made, and you came." ”

"It means that you are specially prepared for me, so as to suppress the anger in my heart."

"Anger?" Ziyu turned her head to Du Ruo for answers, Du Ruo looked at me, and then said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother and Princess Peace, choose a concubine for the emperor, and in front of the queen mother, there was a squeeze." ”

"What, the emperor has chosen a concubine again!?" Ziyu couldn't help but be surprised, "It's only been a few days since I became the emperor, and I thought about choosing a concubine, which really makes people angry." ”

"Sooner or later, it's nothing, it's just their villain posture, I really don't like it." I took a piece of cool cake and chewed it in my mouth, and couldn't help but praise Ziyu's craftsmanship. "It's still you the best for me, this cool cake has won the heart of this palace."

In the Yunyi Courtyard, we, old friends, naturally speak casually.

"The queen is a wise person, she knows self-regulation, in fact, even if there are three thousand beauties in the palace, if His Majesty the Emperor only likes the queen alone, it doesn't matter."

"Hmph, I don't know if the emperor likes these concubines or not, but the emperor has a lover living in his heart, and this palace knows it." I picked another piece of cool cake from my plate and ate it, "From this point of view, the emperor is an infatuated species." ”

Ziyu frowned, "The Empress Mother knows that the emperor's heart belongs, isn't she angry?" ”

"I don't even know who he likes or what I'm angry about. What's more, I am a latecomer, he is an early seed of love, how can I be angry. I laughed and laughed at myself, "It's just a little depressing at best." ”

"Hmm." Ziyu fell into deep thought, and at this moment, she heard the movement of Cuiyun and Yutang not far away.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor!"

When I looked up, it turned out to be really Emperor Qi Yan here. Seeing his gloomy face, I guessed in my heart that it must be because of my early departure from the scene of the concubine selection, and I was angry.

With Du Ruo's help, I stood up before Emperor Qi Yan walked in front of me. Ziyu ran behind me, bowed her head and saluted with me, "The concubine greets His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Greetings? Ha, you don't care about such a big thing as choosing a concubine for Lone, and you go to another courtyard to enjoy leisure, which is really respectful enough to Lonely. ”

"The matter of choosing a concubine was mentioned by the Queen Mother, and Princess Ping was on the side, and the concubines believed in the vision of the Queen Mother and Princess Peace, and also believed that the Queen Mother and Princess Peace could choose His Majesty's favorite concubine. The concubines are really redundant on the side, so they are lazy, and ask Your Majesty to punish them. ”

I repeated the titles of "Queen Mother" and "Princess Ping" over and over again, not for anything else, just to disgust Emperor Qi Yan.

"You ......" Qi Yan pointed at me angrily, "Deliberately!" ”

"Yes." I replied very dryly.

Qi Yan didn't expect me to be so honest, and sneered: "Okay, don't regret it!" ”

I smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "I don't regret it." ”

Qi Yan stared at me with anger in his eyes, but suddenly, his eyes were startled again.

"You, why are you here!?"
