Chapter 311: Concubine Selection Ceremony (3)
After being awkward for a while, Shangguan Yuchen finally changed into the bright and luxurious prince's formal clothes.
After tidying himself up, he glanced at the two guards waiting for orders in the hall, and his eyes paused on the guard who had taken off his coat and was wearing only a white undershirt, only to feel that this dress was too conspicuous here, so he said to him in a deep voice: "You stand down." ”
As if he had received a special pardon, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said "yes" and left the side hall.
A eunuch's scream came from outside: "Counsel the eldest daughter of Master Chen, Chen Ziying." ”
The music stopped abruptly, but after a while, the sound of the guqin slowly flowed into the hall from between the open doors of the temple.
Shangguan Yuchen knows that the concubine selection talent show has begun, and at this time, I can't mess up my position no matter what, anyway, I don't have the opportunity to choose a concubine in my life, so it's better to take this opportunity to take a look at this concubine selection ceremony.
Thinking so, he asked the remaining guards to move a coffee table and a chair in the hall and place them in front of a window in front of the concubine selection.
After the guard set up the "elegant seat", he consciously pushed open the window sash and supported it.
Shangguan Yuchen glanced outward, and outside the window were a few tall and dense camphor trees that were evergreen all year round, but they did not block the view of the concubine selection platform.
He sat down behind the "elegant seat", and then ordered the guards around him to go down and prepare some fine wine and snacks, and casually glanced at the grand scene of concubine selection not far away.
The noble girl who plays the piano is a beauty, a silver fairy pleated skirt spread out, the red edge is like a blooming lotus flower, the black hair is full of hairpins, and the corners of the ears are wearing small earrings.
Shangguan Yuchen tugged at his lips speechlessly, didn't this kid say that he was having fun? Turning his gaze slightly, he saw a veil hanging in front of the tent in front of Concubine Xuan through the shadow fog of the trees, but he couldn't see the figure inside.
The shadow hasn't come back yet.
At the end of the song, the noble lady retreated.
The voice of the inner supervisor rose again: "Pei Yanran, the second lady of Pei University." ”
The voice fell, and a light blue figure slowly walked up to the high platform, still holding the pipa and half-covering his face, and bowed to Yingying in front of him.
The sound of the pipa came shallowly, like spring rain.
Shangguan Yuchen raised his finger and lightly nodded his forehead, and was about to turn his head without much interest, but at the moment when he retracted his gaze, he quickly noticed that an attendant was coming from there holding a box, and immediately collected his thoughts, got up and turned his back.
The door of the hidden palace "squeaked", and then the respectful voice of the chamberlain came: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor ordered the servants to send the portrait of the concubine, saying that if you have a favorite concubine, you can send someone to hand over the portrait." ”
Shangguan Yuchen nodded lightly, and waved one hand behind his back.
The chamberlain felt strange, but he didn't dare to speculate about his master, so he walked over and put the box containing the portrait on the coffee table by the window, and bowed respectfully and withdrew.
The guards who came with the wine passed by the attendants who came out of the palace, and they were tense all over, trying to stabilize themselves, and then walked into the hall with the wine.
Shangguan Yuchen flicked his sleeves, reflexively sat back, there was no emotion in his faint expression, he flipped the scroll at will, but he didn't take a closer look, and continued his leisurely "selection of concubines".
But the guard did not have this composure, and nervously laid out the wine, poured him another glass of wine, and then stood tremblingly beside him, lest the prince be found to leave.
…………
At the same time that Shangguan Yuchen was leisurely admiring the concubine selection ceremony, Yan Wuzheng also performed light skills all the way to the vicinity of the Battle King's Mansion, wanting to walk over, but finally stopped, his thoughts churning.
The entire Liulan belongs to my father, if I elope with Yue'er, how far can I escape in this land of Liulan? It's better to take that scrap order, elopement can also have a little confidence, but now I don't even have the confidence.
Thinking of my sister's words yesterday, if I really eloped with Yue'er, once I was found, I am afraid that I would kill Yue'er.
Yan Wuzheng felt bitter in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he stayed near the Battle King's Mansion, neither approaching nor leaving.
I've been looking forward to recognizing my relatives for so many years, do I have to accept the loss of my beloved after recognizing my relatives?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a familiar black shirt come out of the War King's Mansion and get into the ebony Luanjin carriage.
The carriage traveled slowly, and the winter wind blew through the curtain, opening a crack in the light.
Gongyi's shadowless eyes suddenly condensed, and his heart was shocked - no dispute?
She immediately lifted the curtain and looked in the direction just now, but where was the figure she had just seen? Frowning slightly, could it be that I was dazzled?
Also, how can it be indisputable? There is no dispute now, but the concubine is chosen in the palace. Xiaoyue is among the concubines, I think this kid should be so happy that he can't find the north, how can he run out?
Shook his head and didn't think much more.
