Chapter 173: Sole Pet
"You shouldn't have been poisoned by Leng Gongzi." Qin Luofei stared at Xi Ju with a wicked smile.
"Miss, don't make fun of me." Xi Ju looked shy.
Three days later, the draft girl began, which was run by Leng Guifei and Shufei.
Leng Guifei said it well, but how could she not be willing to be in the limelight, fortunately, Concubine Shu knew Leng Guifei's personality, and she was also tossed by her.
"Concubine Shu, I don't know if our vision will be the same." Leng Guifei sneered.
"Regardless of any inconsistencies, in the end, the emperor personally chooses them." Concubine Shu smiled.
The palace people brought all the portraits presented by the officials to Concubine Shu and Concubine Leng Guifei, and split the rank of Xiu Nu's father one by one for the two ladies to choose.
Concubine Shu took the portrait in her hand, and saw that this year's show girls were very outstanding, with delicate and lovely appearances, and there were so many faces that were clearly not under Leng Guifei.
Leng Guifei held the picture scroll in her hand, and her face became more and more ugly. She is pregnant now, and she can't compete for favor, if she lets these foxes enter the palace, it will be worth it.
Looking at the backgrounds of those show girls, all of them are children of official families, with prominent status, and they are like they are helpless, only relying on the emperor's love.
"Lady, this woman is good." Leng Guifei took a portrait of a woman and showed it to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu glanced at it and saw that the woman was a middle-aged person, where did she dare to bear it. Knowing that Leng Guifei had other thoughts, she didn't say anything.
Concubine Shu selected a few portraits of good women, and asked the palace maids to show them to Concubine Leng one by one, and Concubine Leng Guifei's eyes were all fierce.
This lady has a good eye, and she has selected the best of them.
Leng Guifei said with a smile: "Sister Shufei, women are already virtuous and beautiful, our emperor is a holy monarch, the woman selected by Shufei, this palace doesn't like it, isn't it too frivolous." ”
"Aren't you and I frivolous? No matter how beautiful they are, they can't compare to you, Concubine Leng . The emperor hasn't come to the harem for a long time, I think it's the sisters in the palace who make the emperor unhappy, sister, what do you say? Through the draft, it is natural to choose a few beautiful and full harems, so as to make the emperor happy. Seeing that Concubine Leng was like this, Concubine Shu made it clear that she was against her.
Leng Guifei's teeth itched, but she was helpless.
Concubine Shu instructed the little eunuch beside her, "You go and invite all the sisters in the palace, watch the portraits, and choose concubines for the emperor with the palace and Concubine Leng together." ”
"Yes, sissy." The palace man turned around and went out.
Qin Luofei was lying on the couch reading a medical book, and Xi Ju was doing embroidery next to him.
"Miss, why do you love reading medical books so much, do you have to be like Imperial Doctor Lin, you can't treat people."
Qin Luofei raised his head, glanced at Xi Ju, and said lightly: "The palace is complicated, if I had been proficient in medical skills in the past, the little princess would not have been framed by Leng Guifei, after all, I was too careless." Who would have thought that she would use Concubine Shu to attack me. It is difficult for the concubines in the palace to have children, and it is true. ”
Xi Ju saw that Miss was still sad for the little princess, and she didn't dare to say anything more?
The two men were talking, when they heard footsteps outside the house. Luo Ziyan walked in with a close-fitting little palace maid who opened the curtain.
Because of this, the two of them are close and used to coming and going, and the little palace maids are too lazy to report.
Qin Luofei saw that it was Luo Ziyan, sat up hurriedly, and said with a smile: "I said that there was a magpie on my roof in the morning, it turned out that my sister was coming!" ”
"Sister, no wonder Concubine Leng said you, your mouth is getting more and more tricky, look at how I clean you up." Luo Ziyan said angrily.
Her appearance has been recuperated and recovered a lot, and this coquettishness has become more and more delicate and moving.
Qin Luofei looked a little tempted, and said with a smile: "Sister, I see that your complexion has been much better recently, that Imperial Doctor Lin is really a miracle doctor, I can't say, my sister will be favored by the emperor in the future." ”
Luo Ziyan also feels that now her body is better, and she is no longer as powerless as before, and recently she has gradually recovered her former beauty when she looks at herself in the mirror.
"Favored by the emperor alone? It's not easy to say, now that the draft is going to be drafted, there are a lot of beautiful women entering the palace, and old people like me can't say that they can no longer get into the eyes of the emperor. I don't look forward to that, I just want my sisters to be happy in the palace. ”
Qin Luofei saw Luo Ziyan's expression cold, and he couldn't say anything more?
The emperor is the most unkind, and Luo Ziyan is not wrong when he says it.
"Sister Luo, why are you free to come over today?" Qin Luofei diverted the topic.
Luo Ziyan said with a smile: "It's not a matter of the draft, Concubine Shu asked us to go to the staff together, but it was the cold concubine who made it difficult, so Concubine Shu asked us to press the formation." ”
Qin Luofei also guessed in his heart that Concubine Leng must be unhappy in her heart.
In the harem, there is only one emperor, and if there is one more woman, there will be one more person to share the emperor's favor, which is unfavorable to the concubines, and naturally no one wants newcomers to enter the palace.
Concubine Shu is so different from others, that temperament is really incomprehensible. I don't see how she scolds the emperor, but the emperor covets her beauty and flatters her from time to time.
"Then let's go and suppress the lady concubine! lest the cold concubine be too comfortable. Qin Luofei laughed.
Luo Ziyan nodded and said, "I just didn't bother to go alone, so I came to you and dragged you along." ”
The two of them packed up and took their little palace maids to the front hall.
Leng Guifei and Concubine Shu deliberately chose that place in order to make it easier for Emperor Ming to choose.
When Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei went, Qin Jieyu and Zhang Guiren were already there.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Leng are still selecting concubines in the portrait, and the number of people in this draft is too much, and both of them are a little dazzled.
Concubine Shu saw Luo Ziyan and Qin Luofei enter the palace, and hurriedly said: "Two sisters, you can see if there is anything missing from this palace, this palace is really dazzling." ”
A little palace maid sent the portrait of the concubine selected by Concubine Shu to Qin Luofei's hands, Qin Luofei took it over and looked at it carefully, and had to admire Concubine Shu's eyes, all of them were beautiful, no worse than Concubine Leng Guifei, no wonder Concubine Leng Guifei's face was so ugly.
Qin Luofei was amused in her heart, this concubine was clearly against Concubine Leng Guifei, knowing that she was most jealous of a woman who was better looking than her, and she could not tolerate it in this palace.
That is, Concubine Shu's appearance is above her, but she can't move. Where are you willing to get something more gorgeous than her appearance, so that the emperor will snub her.
Luo Ziyan picked up the concubine who was selected by Leng Guifei, the corners of her lips moved, and she didn't speak.
When Qin Luofei saw Luo Ziyan's face, he knew that something was wrong, so he took it over and watched it, wanted to laugh, and held back.
Leng Guifei's principle has always been that virtue comes first, but when it is her turn, it is her appearance first.
"How are my sisters watching?" Concubine Shu looked at everyone from above and said lightly.
Qin Luofei took the portrait of the show girl selected by Concubine Shu and said with a smile: "I really admire Concubine Shu's vision, the women on these portraits are all beautiful and fragrant, and the emperor will definitely be happy when he comes to the emperor." ”
"Sister Qin, are you saying that the emperor is a faint monarch who only looks at his appearance?" Leng Guifei snorted angrily beside her.
Concubine Shu frowned, just about to speak.
Qin Luofei said on the side: "How can Niangniang say this, the emperor has always favored Niangniang, is the emperor a faint monarch?" Niangniang doesn't want to be like this, the concubines have always felt that Niangniang is a virtuous person, and she can't say that the emperor is a faint monarch because of Niangniang's appearance and the emperor's favor. ”
Qin Luofei's words actually deducted Leng Guifei into it.
Before Leng Guifei could speak, a voice had already sounded, "Who is saying that I am a faint king." ”
Everyone didn't realize that Emperor Ming had only brought a little eunuch over.
Today, in the morning court, he heard that the concubines were choosing palace concubines for him, so he came to take a look.
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Leng Guifei and Qin Cairen arguing.
When Concubine Shu saw Emperor Ming enter the palace, she quickly stood up and walked to Emperor Ming's side to pay respects.
"The concubines and others see the emperor."
Concubine Shu smiled and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, why are you here, and you can't talk to the concubine, so you can let the concubine prepare." You see the chaos here, and the emperor doesn't have a place to do it. ”
Emperor Ming saw that the portraits were spread all over the palace, and the palace people were tidying up.
"I, what did you hear Leng Guifei and Qin Cairen talking about just now?"
Leng Guifei stroked this belly, came down from the steps, walked to Emperor Ming's side, looked delicate, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines want to choose more virtuous women for you to enter the palace, so that the heirs can reproduce and the harem will be peaceful." ”
Emperor Ming's eyes skimmed to Qin Luofei to see how she spoke.
Qin Luofei was not in a hurry, and said: "The concubine agrees with the decision of the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang is beautiful, has both ability and political integrity, and the selection of harem concubines should be based on this." ”
All the concubines looked at Leng Guifei and Qin Luofei one after another.
"What's going on with the faint king?" Emperor Ming's eyes looked at Concubine Leng Guifei.
Leng Guifei snuggled into Emperor Ming's arms coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "Concubine, it is said that the emperor is definitely not a person who covets women, but ...... Sister Qin, she ......"
Leng Guifei didn't say the next words, but when she heard Emperor Ming's ears, she couldn't help but look at Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei said with a smile: "The concubine is naturally in line with the mother's statement, and the emperor is naturally not a person who only looks at his appearance. But the face is pretty, and it is pleasing to the eye after all. The concubine felt that the selection of a show girl should not only be as beautiful as the concubine Niangniang, but also the moral character should be like the Niangniang, and it is best to have both ability and political integrity. You said that the concubine Niangniang. ”
Qin Luofei didn't leave Concubine Leng in three sentences, everything was in line with Concubine Leng Guifei, so that Concubine Leng couldn't refute, but she was angry and unbearable.
Seeing that Qin Luofei's teeth were sharp, Concubine Leng Guifei, who refuted in a few words, couldn't answer correctly, and smiled secretly in her heart.
Emperor Ming's eyes looked at Qin Luofei, and saw that her face had recovered, and she became more and more gorgeous.
"I also think that when choosing a concubine, it is natural to choose a woman like Qin Cairen, so that I will be happy." There was a thorn in Emperor Ming's tone.
Leng Guifei could hear that there was a bit of hatred.
This man, in his past life and in this life, only thinks about that woman.
"Thank you for the emperor's praise, the concubines don't dare to be. There are concubines and concubines, and the concubines are just the light of fire, where do they dare to compete with the sun and the moon. Qin Luofei said humbly and respectfully.
Emperor Ming only glanced at Qin Luofei coldly.
Concubine Shu hurriedly asked the palace people to present the woman she had just selected to the emperor.
