Chapter 147: Choosing a Concubine

"Doesn't my father think it's too unfair? Zhang Youtao has a meritorious service in Lingzhou City, but you treat her like this, doesn't it make the world feel cold. Jiang Yiling argued.

The emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth gloomily, "So what?" ”

He is the king of this world, and whoever he wants to die, he must die, without merit or fault.

Jiang Yiling understood the meaning of his words, and the struggle in his eyes gradually calmed down.

"Ten days later is the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you want to see Zhang Youtao appear in front of you intact after ten days, you should think clearly, so as not to regret it in the future."

The emperor's words kept echoing in Jiang Yiling's ears, making him noisy, and the scenes that have happened in recent days make people feel fucked just by thinking about it.

The news that the emperor was going to choose a concubine for the six princes disappeared, but in half a day, the entire capital was spread.

Nowadays, among the many princes, there are only three who can be expected to inherit the unification, and Jiang Yiling is just one of them, and as soon as the news came out, the nobles of the entire capital were very excited.

Cui Mansion.

Cui Mingyan just got the news, so she couldn't hold back the throbbing in her heart, and ran to the study to find her father and discuss countermeasures.

"Miss, you can't go in, the master is discussing important matters with the eldest young master." The little guy was careful to stop it, but he didn't dare to use it at all.

finally asked Cui Mingyan to break in, the little guy wrinkled his face, and quickly ran in, and just after entering the door, he knelt down and shouted, "It's all because of the little incompetence and failed to stop the eldest lady." ”

Cui Mingyan raised his head, "Dad, big brother, I have to come in, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

She is not soft-hearted, she just wants to prove her status in the eyes of Prime Minister Cui Cheng.

Prime Minister Cui just frowned, and then raised his hand to let the little guy retreat.

The little guy was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knew that he was okay at the moment, so he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and ran out with a rolling belt.

"My sister is becoming more and more rude, and my father and I are discussing important matters." Cui Bo said unhappily.

"I also came to discuss something important with my father." Cui Mingyan refused to suffer at all, and bluntly went back.

"Humph!" Cui Bo didn't believe that she really had anything important, his sister thought that she would be a master in the future since she was a child, and she was very conceited.

In this house, even he, who is an elder brother, has to let some go, otherwise, even if the beams of the house are broken, one or two will be separated.

"Stop fighting." Prime Minister Cui Cheng didn't understand, he had a son and a daughter, which was a good word, but he was competing against each other all day long, as if the eight characters did not match.

"Dad, it's not that my daughter wants to fight, listen to the sarcasm in his words." Cui Mingyan complained in a coquettish voice.

Prime Minister Cui Cheng twisted his eyebrows, "Let your sister have some in the future." ”

"Yes." Cui Bo was reluctant to respond, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

But Cui Mingyan was like winning a battle, raising his chin, his eyes full of provocation.

Cui Bo snorted coldly and turned his face sideways, so as not to be annoyed.

"Why do you have to break in?" Prime Minister Choi asked.

Speaking of this, Cui Mingyan's face was full of smiles, "My daughter got the news, and the emperor will choose a concubine for the six princes one day, I don't know if my father has any plans?" ”

"I won't choose you if I choose a concubine." Cui Bo seized the opportunity and stabbed Cui Mingyan in the heart and lungs.

"Shut up!" This time it was Prime Minister Cui Cheng who was displeased, he had high hopes for this daughter, if his daughter soared into the sky in the future, he would naturally want to help the family.

Now the relationship between the two children is not good, which is not a good thing.

Cui Bo's face was stupid, and he shut up.

Seeing that he was settled, Prime Minister Cui Cheng spoke, "I am still discussing with your brother just now, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, I am afraid that the emperor wants to choose a concubine for the six princes at the banquet." ”

"What about my daughter?" Cui Mingyan was in a hurry.

Jiang Yiling is not friendly to her, and can even talk about disgust.

"In the past few days, you have entered the palace to accompany the lady concubine, as long as the lady concubine is satisfied with you and says a few kind words in front of the emperor, the position of the concubine is yours." Prime Minister Choi Cheng's calculations are clear.

Cui Mingyan thought of what happened last time, and was a little unwilling, but he was unwilling to pass by the position of the concubine like this, biting his tongue and responding, "My daughter understands." ”

Prime Minister Cui looked at her with satisfaction, quite pleased, "When you become the sixth princess in the future, my father will be relieved." ”

Cui Mingyan's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and her ambition refused to hide it at all.

It should be hers, and no one can take it away; If it's not hers, it's a fight, and she will fight.

——

Tick tock!

Zhang Youtao was woken up by freezing, she knew that it was raining outside, but she didn't know that this cell was so unbearable, and the roof leaked rainwater.

I don't know if God thinks she's not miserable enough, but by coincidence, the rain dripped straight down on her, staining the only bedding and hay.

"Ahem, ahem!"

She struggled to get up, and saw that the futon was half wet, her throat was so dry that it could smoke, and her mouth hurt when she tore it. see

She never imagined that she would one day be so miserable.

"Bad old man, bad old man......"

The old man who was dozing off on the opposite side suddenly had a stirring spirit, and crawled to the door with confused eyes, "Little girl, what's wrong?" The old man is sleeping soundly! ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Zhang Youtao pointed to the top of her head, "This roof is leaking, please help call the jailer." ”

The bad old man looked at it carefully and waved his hand, "It's useless, those who eat white rice won't care about our life or death, when the weather is clear, this roof will be fine." ”

Zhang Youtao watched him crawl back to sleep on the hay, but he couldn't say a word.

The white bowl in front of me was missing a few mouthfuls of different sizes, and the water in it was already muddy, and I don't know if it was a worm or other black thing that sank to the bottom of the bowl, making people feel disgusted when they saw it.

Squeak!

The cumbersome sound of the door opening brought her back to her senses, and the two soldiers opened the door of her cell, entered, and dragged her out by the arm.

From the beginning to the end, not a word was spoken.

Zhang Youtao was so weak that she didn't even bother to struggle, and her voice was hoarse and she didn't bother to open her mouth.

After passing through a long corridor, the bluestone brick floor feels cold when you step on your feet, and the torches here are much more frequent, and the vision is much clearer.

Xu is temperature here is higher, Zhang Youtao couldn't help but shiver. It had only been a few days in this cell, and the cracks between her hands were full of dirt, and she would not have known it if it weren't for the bright light here.

The soldier threw her on a dusty wooden chair and left her alone.

There were still blood stains hidden in the cracks of this chair, and at a glance, you could tell that there were many people sitting on this chair, and the smell of blood was in the air.

"Is this going to ......" she swallowed and continued, "Bending into a trick? ”

The soldiers outside the door did not answer her, as if they had not heard.

For some reason, a nameless fire rose in her heart, Zhang Youtao hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth and coughed, her face flushed.

This fucking life! She had already thought that if she could come out alive this time, she would definitely stay away from these strife, and who would be willing to stay in this broken place, she would die a terrible death.

The more I thought about it, the more severe my cough became, and the more anxious I became.

After coughing, she didn't care whether the chair was clean or not, and the whole person lay on the chair and gasped for breath before she felt that she had come back to life.

Before she could come to her senses, the door to the cell was opened again, and she knew the people who had come in, but she had never expected to see them here.

"How did the Third Prince appear here?" Zhang Youtao sat up with a sigh of relief. Her voice was so hoarse that if she didn't listen carefully, she couldn't tell what she was saying.

Jiang Yueting twisted her eyebrows, "You're sick." ”

Such a calm and accusatory tone made people really angry.

Zhang Youtao opened her mouth slightly, as if only in this way could her body be more comfortable.

She will not let her guard down until she understands the other party's purpose, and at the moment she has no bargaining chips to negotiate, so she must always be vigilant.

"Peach, why are you doing this?" Jiang Yueting's eyes were distressed that could not be concealed.

probably already likes a person from the royal family, so Zhang Youtao is prejudiced against all those who have the name of the royal family.

She didn't believe that these people in the royal family would have pity.

The distress in Jiang Yueting's eyes didn't seem to be fake, "You are suffering here, do you know what the person you are thinking about is doing now?" ”

Zhang Youtao twisted her eyebrows, and gradually felt uneasy in her heart, "What does the third prince mean by this?" ”

Jiang Yueting saw her let down her guard, walked a few steps closer in vain, and stopped, "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my father is going to take this opportunity to choose a concubine for the sixth brother." ”

Rumble!

Zhang Youtao was stunned by the news, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Impossible!" She subconsciously retorted.

Jiang Yueting didn't allow her to dodge, and as soon as her rebuttal fell, she rushed to her eyes, paused and looked at her at eye level, "Now the whole capital knows that the father and emperor are going to choose a concubine for the sixth child on a certain day, but you don't know." ”

Zhang Youtao didn't know that he said this on purpose, in order to make her mess up.

She didn't know what Jiang Yiling thought, was he willing? What I was most afraid of was that she persevered, but in the end she found that she was the only one left in this dream.

"The third prince specially came to talk to me about this, I'm afraid he has other plans!" She still had the last shred of her composure.

The long-term fever made her dizzy, and now she was suffering from a headache from this news, which was really sad.

Jiang Yueting smiled bitterly, "Young Peach, why can't you look back at me!" ”

Not again! Zhang Youtao endured a headache and glanced at him, and the whole person was so weak that she had to hold her breath when she spoke.

"The posture of the three princes is not difficult to want the best-looking woman in the world, why do you want to get along with me as a country woman!" Zhang Youtao was also helplessly tight.

In addition to being ruthless and unjust, this royal family really responded to that sentence, and what you can't get is the best.
