The concubines in the palace are all human spirits.

Concubine Li glanced at Li Xiangru a few more times, and Concubine Jing immediately noticed it, and said with a deliberate smile: "In my opinion, among these girls, Xie Mingxi should be the one in terms of talent and appearance, and Li Xiangru is the most outstanding in terms of family background." ”

As soon as Concubine Li heard that something was wrong, she was immediately alert, and looked at Concubine Jing with a smile: "Listen to my sister's meaning, could it be that Miss Li Er is the fifth princess?" ”

Concubine Jing covered her mouth and smiled: "With the emperor and the queen mother here, such a major matter as choosing the princess, where is your turn to worry about me." I don't think my sister should look around, it's not your turn to call the shots. Or a cup of fruit bar! ”

Concubine Li: "......"

Concubine Li picked up her wine glass and drank a glass with Concubine Jing.

Concubine Li's heart was stabbed unhappily, and she couldn't help but shoot back: "In the end, we are the biological mother and the son's relatives, how can there be any reason not to care." The emperor knows and will not blame. ”

Hum!

She didn't believe it! Can't she mention a few words? For his son's sake, Emperor Jianwen will not be angry.

Besides, doesn't Concubine Jing want to pick a lovely daughter-in-law?

If you marry a daughter-in-law like the second princess and come back, only Queen Yu has no relatives in her eyes, it will be too infuriating!

Concubine Jing said calmly, in fact, her eyes were also aimed at the girls.

All of them are like fresh and delicate flower bones, each with its own style, and it is difficult to distinguish the superior from the inferior for a while.

If you talk about the edge of the eyes, Concubine Jing also fell in love with one.

Look at the little girl in the turquoise Luo skirt, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, pretty and cute, and a natural face that loves to smile. It's pleasing to look at.

If you remember correctly, it should be Yin Xiaoxiao, the only daughter of General Yin.

When it's time to enjoy the lanterns, take a chance to see them up close.

……

Empress Dowager Li was in high spirits today, and after the song and dance were over, she said to Empress Yu: "I heard that the students of Lianchi Academy are all good at music, and the mourning family will listen to it for themselves today. ”

Emperor Jianwen smiled happily: "Since the queen mother is so interested, Lianniang will pick a few ones with outstanding rhythms and let them stroke the piano or play a song on the spot." Who can make the queen mother show her face, I have a lot of rewards today! ”

Empress Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and she responded with a smile: "It's okay." ”

Then, his gaze swept over.

The girls immediately sat down solemnly, and their hearts beat like drums. I can't wait to be the first to be hit.

Before entering the palace, they were all "ear-to-ear" by the elders in the family. I must find an opportunity to perform well and leave a good impression on the emperor and the queen. I can't say that the bright future of the future will fall today......

Moreover, several princes also sat reservedly. The third prince is graceful and gentle, the fourth prince is handsome and charming, and the fifth prince is delicate and likable.

Such a handsome young man, even if he does not have the identity of a prince, it is enough to attract the girls to think about it.

Empress Yu would go to the Lotus Pond Academy every month to teach, and she was familiar with all the students. You don't have to look at it to pick out a few girls with outstanding rhythms.

Xie Mingxi, Li Xiangru, Lin Weiwei.

The three of them are undoubtedly the most outstanding.

Li Xiangru and Lin Weiwei won the first and second places in the academy competition, and everyone knows it. Xie Mingxi did not participate in the music competition at that time, but in terms of piano skills, he was slightly better than Li Xiangru, who won the first place......

Fortunately, Emperor Jianwen didn't know.

Empress Yu's mind was racing and she quickly made a decision.

Don't let Xie Mingxi be in the limelight today.

……

"Li Xiangru, Lin Weiwei ......" Empress Yu opened her mouth unhurriedly and pointed out the names of the five students: "A few of you, today you will present a song for the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”

The five girls got up together and got down.

There was no Xie Mingxi!

The girls were a little surprised, and quickly glanced at each other. But no one said a word.

The heart of the sixth princess quietly fell back to its original place. Knowing that Emperor Jianwen didn't want to be known, Xie Mingxi still had to be less in the limelight. No matter what Empress Yu did for skipping Xie Mingxi, it was a good thing anyway.

Xie Mingxi lowered her head slightly, her expression was calm, and no one could peek into her true emotions.

Emperor Jianwen suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "I remember that when the academy was in the big competition, Miss Xie San was the first in etiquette and arithmetic. I don't know what about the rhythm? ”

The Son of Heaven actually took the initiative to open his mouth to ask!

Li Xiangru was jealous and hated, gritting his teeth and secretly hating.

The sixth princess's face sank slightly, and her right hand was quietly clenched into a fist.

Xie Mingxi's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't raise his eyes.

On such occasions, it was not her turn to open her mouth to speak. Empress Yu replied.

Empress Yu comes to Haitang School to teach for a whole day every month, and Xie Mingxi has a lot of respect for Queen Yu, who is full of talent. It's just that Queen Yu is the queen of the Middle Palace, and there are many differences from Gu Shanchang, who has a righteous temperament. The mind is deep and delicate, and it is impossible to guess......

Empress Yu's voice was not hurried, warm and pleasant: "The emperor just ordered his concubines to pick a few students with outstanding pronunciation, and in the blink of an eye, he advocated on his own. That being the case, the concubine said nothing. Everything is up to the emperor. ”

Empress Yu showed her displeasure in public, but Emperor Jianwen didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "It's me who has a lot of mouths." Don't worry, the queen, just follow what you just said, let the five of them show their strengths. ”

Empress Dowager Li had some slight complaints about Queen Yu's attitude, and snorted lightly: "Women value talent more than morality, and the queen is in charge of the middle palace, so she should set an example for women in the world." How can you confront the emperor in public? ”

Empress Yu's expression was slightly cold.

Emperor Jianwen, who was weak-hearted, immediately smiled and played a round game: "The queen mother is angry." On a whim, the son said a lot casually, no wonder the queen. ”

Empress Dowager Li snorted softly, but she didn't say anything more.

……

The sharp-minded concubines also had different expressions at this time.

is in the harem, and all the honor and disgrace are tied to the Son of Heaven. Every move, word and deed of the Son of Heaven will attract the speculation of the concubines.

Why did Emperor Jianwen specifically mention Xie Mingxi?

Could it be that Xie Mingxi was the candidate for the crown princess?

Li Xiangru got up, walked to the guqin and sat down, sitting elegantly. Slender fingers tap the strings.

The melodious sound of the piano echoed in the Jiaofang Palace. But no one listened. It was Concubine Li, and at this time, she had no time to pay attention to Li Xiangru, who was skilled in the piano, and kept speculating about Emperor Jianwen's intentions in her mind.

Emperor Jianwen is so favored by Xie Mingxi, should he fight for the four princes?

After the piano music ended, Li Xiangru got up and saluted. When he looked up, he quickly glanced at the four princes.

The fourth prince still looked arrogant and indifferent, and he was not moved at all.

Concubine Li was also a little distracted, and she didn't even look at herself.

Li Xiangru was angry in her heart.

This Xie Mingxi wants to steal his limelight everywhere!

Today, she was the first to be selected for the piano song, which should have attracted attention and made a big show. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwen's fluttering words made Xie Mingxi the focus of everyone's attention.
