Hearing the emperor mention this, the queen showed a shallow smile on her face and beckoned Cai Zhu over.

"Caizhu, you go and get those portraits."

Cai Zhu nodded yes, and it didn't take long to take the portrait and hand it to the queen.

The queen laid out the portraits one by one, and there are four portraits here, all of which are rare beautiful men and famous talents in Beijing.

After the emperor looked at the painting, there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Ye Liuqing, the second son of the Ye family, Lan Yu, the fourth son of the Lan family, Murong Shuang, the champion of the previous session, and Shangshu Jun of the household department will stay for a long time."

After reading it, he thought about it again, and pointed to the portrait of Jun Changliu, "Although the Hubu Shangshu has achieved extraordinary achievements, it seems to be a little older, and it has been rumored recently that he and the daughter of the An family are in a comfortable relationship, and they can't." ”

"So?" The queen's face was surprised, and then turned into disappointment, "The concubine likes this household book the most, so that's it." ”

Even if the eldest princess can become a wife no matter who she fancies, if her husband has someone else in her heart, she will not be happy to marry.

The emperor nodded, acknowledging the queen's words, and then pointed to the portraits of the other three, "Is there anything you particularly like?" ”

The queen shook her head, "These are all dragons and phoenixes among men of appropriate age, no matter who becomes a concubine, the concubines are all satisfied." ”

"Okay, why don't you let Xiao'er take a look?"

The emperor made a suggestion, and the queen naturally agreed, so the next day, Shi Mo saw three portraits sent by Father-in-law De.

"It's ......"

Shi Mo asked, and then Gonggong De bowed slightly and replied, "Princess Hui, the emperor said that your age has also arrived, and now it's time to choose a concubine, these three people are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and there must be one who can get your blue eyes." ”

Shi Mo was silent and unfolded the portraits one by one.

Then when I saw the portrait of idle chess, it was even quieter.

glanced at the father-in-law who was waiting on the side, and waved his hand helplessly, "You go back to the palace first, if you like it, the palace will go to talk to the father and the queen mother." ”

"Yes."

Gonggong De lowered his eyebrows, saluted again, and then withdrew from the princess's mansion.

Shi Mo returned to the dormitory and asked the maid to wait outside, so she didn't have to come in to serve, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xian Qi sitting on her couch with a smile.

Shi Mo: "......"

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

Xianqi smiled gently, but said something inappropriate: "I heard that I am one of the horses to be selected, and I want to go through the back door." ”

Shi Mo touched his chin, raised his eyebrows and looked at idle chess, "Look at your performance, but the second son of Ye and the fourth son of the Lan family are very good, and this palace likes it very much." ”

Xianqi pursed his lips, walked up to Shi Mo, and took her hand, "Amer, except for me, you are not allowed to like others." ”

"Look at you like that."

Shi Mo rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help but smile a little, and poked his slightly bulging cheeks.

"How could I choose anyone else but you?"

The next day, Shi Mo asked the maid to send the portrait of idle chess into the palace.

It didn't take long for the emperor to summon idle chess again, causing everyone in the capital to speculate about the emperor's intentions.

It is said that Xianqi stayed in the palace for two hours that day, and when he came out, the emperor personally sent him off, and he seemed very satisfied with him.

Well-informed people know that the emperor is choosing a concubine, and if nothing else, in a few months, it will be the wedding of the eldest princess who is both talented and beautiful.

Still, how can it not be an accident?

The emperor's health has been bad since that time, although the person who was drugged was solved, the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and cannot be removed.
