Chapter 855: Choosing a Concubine

The ninth princess spoke upside down, and kept emphasizing that she didn't know what was going on and fell in.

But there is absolutely no saying that someone deliberately pushed her, just that it seems that there is no one definitive answer. An Lan was depressed, but this girl didn't look like she was lying, she looked so innocent and cute.

"Maybe you were too scared when you fell in, don't think about it, thinking about it will make you more uncomfortable. Are you hungry? Sister-in-law brings you something. "An Lan is extremely fond of the Ninth Princess.

An innocent and lovely girl like the Ninth Princess will always make people want to love.

Hearing An Lan's words, the Ninth Princess immediately nodded happily, and she nodded her head like pounding garlic.

"Sister-in-law, I want to drink bird's nest porridge and eat the dim sum you made for me last time." The ninth princess tilted her head and said a lot of favorite things, and also said that she wanted to eat sugar gourds.

The ninth princess was recovering from a serious illness, so she naturally wanted to revolve around her, and An Lan immediately ordered someone to go outside the palace to buy it for her. In less than a quarter of an hour, a large table of sumptuous delicacies had been prepared for the Ninth Princess.

The ninth princess picked up the chopsticks and feasted on them, eating quite happily, and An Lan and the others just watched from the side.

Thinking back to what the Ninth Princess said, An Lan was a little suspicious in his heart, because after hearing the Ninth Princess say this, Chu Qiaosi was indeed very suspicious at that time.

"You eat well here, I'll go back first." An Lan gently patted the ninth princess on the shoulder, and the ninth princess agreed.

An Lan left from here, came outside, and found a girl who had been following him, and this girl was taking care of the ninth princess.

"What are you thinking?" An Lan asked her with a smile.

This girl doesn't know what her name is, although there are girls around the nine princesses, their personalities are very shy.

In general, they don't take the initiative to come, they just do everything well.

"Back to the princess, the slave didn't think about anything, the slave and the maid were just worried about the ninth princess." The girl's eyes kept looking around, not knowing what she was looking at.

But one thing is certain, what she said was not the truth, and An Lan didn't say anything more to her about this matter.

The palace maids in the palace are like this, they always have their own ideas, and sometimes it's better not to ask too much.

After Anlan left here, he took a walk in the Imperial Garden. After walking for a while, I saw a few girls hanging out there.

"Have you heard? The ninth princess has woken up, she said that it seems that someone pushed her down, in short, she didn't say that she fell down by herself, do you think it's strange? The girl frowned and spoke.

"Could it be that Chu Qiaosi pushed her down? Since the Ninth Princess didn't fall by herself, she could only be pushed down, and there was only Chu Qiaosi by her side......"

Speaking of which, a girl covered her mouth, and she was suspicious of Chu Qiaosi at all.

"I don't think it's possible, Princess Chu Qiaosi doesn't need to harm her, besides, the ninth princess is just a child."

"Then you mean that the Ninth Princess is lying? But how can she lie to a child who is so simple and kind, she is still young. ”

"You're right, the Ninth Princess is still young, so she won't lie about this matter. I think someone must have pushed him down, that person is Chu Qiaosi, Chu Qiaosi's heart is too vicious. ”

……

These people talked a lot, and when it came to it, they just believed that Chu Qiaosi was the murderer.

An Lan didn't bother them in the past, and besides, she couldn't stop the mouths of Youyou, no matter how much she believed Chu Qiaosi.

An Lan didn't care much about this matter. Soon it was time for the palace draft, and the queen was in charge of it.

Early that morning, the queen went to the emperor with a lot of lists, and there were more than 100 portraits carefully selected by her.

When I came to the emperor's bedroom, I saw that the emperor was reading a book there.

"Your Majesty, the concubines came to give you a list of this year's show girls. There are also their portraits, which one the emperor likes tells the concubine, and the concubine will definitely be arranged by the emperor. ”

The queen had a pleasant smile on her face, but she didn't look genuinely happy.

There is any woman in the world who is willing to share her husband with others, and the queen is naturally unwilling, but this has always been the rule.

Seeing the queen's expression, the emperor was a little sad.

"Queen, the rules of these draft girls are really troublesome, I am ...... this age"

The emperor couldn't help laughing at himself, he was busy with state affairs every day, so naturally he didn't have enough energy to pay attention to the harem.

Once a person is old, he doesn't have so much energy to spoil a woman, and he naturally does the same. Every day, I feel extremely tired.

"How can the emperor say this, the concubines are not allowed to say such things to the emperor, the emperor should take a look, at least a few must be selected, otherwise it will not break the rules of the ancestors, and the emperor wants the concubines to bear the infamy?" The queen did not give up.

After all, it is the rule of the ancestors, even if the emperor doesn't like it, he has to forcibly select a few show girls every year.

The emperor was helpless, took the list, didn't look at the portrait at all, and randomly circled a few and let the queen look at the arrangement. The queen was quite satisfied with the emperor's actions.

Seeing that the emperor had chosen well, the queen planned to leave, but the emperor suddenly stopped her.

"Although I don't want to draft a draft girl, many of my emperors have not enough concubines at home. Take this opportunity to choose a few houses for them, and it won't be too ugly to spread out. ”

The emperor said this with a smile.

The queen took the list again, and the emperor picked up the portrait and looked at it a few times, and he was more satisfied with the women.

"These women look quite gentle, they should be the type that Chu Xingze likes, so it's better to reward the three of them to Chu Xingze. If you get along for a long time, you will definitely like it, there is only An Lan in his family, and it will inevitably be ugly when it spreads......"

The emperor was quite worried about this matter.

Which of his princes is not three wives and four concubines. Only Chu Xingze has only one princess, and there are no side concubines at all.

"Your Majesty, your eyes are really vicious, these three women are all first-class beauties, I believe the prince will like it. Why don't the concubines let these women go to the palace tomorrow? The queen smiled and asked the emperor what he meant.

"How can this work, you don't know Chu Xingze's temper, let him enter the palace first, and I will ask him what he means. If he doesn't have a problem with us, if he refuses, the matter will be settled. "The emperor is not the kind of person who is not enlightened.

This kind of thing must not be forced, and if it is forced, it will be counterproductive.

The queen agreed, and immediately asked people to summon Chu Xingze to the palace.

Chu Xingze didn't know what was going on, but when he came to the emperor, he realized why he let himself come over today, it turned out to be a woman's business.
