Chapter 33: The Concubine

In the hall, the women who were selected by the Queen Mother yesterday stood there nervously, waiting for the arrival of the emperor, they were dressed more gorgeous today than yesterday, each of them did their best to dress themselves up the most beautiful, they were wearing their most beautiful clothes, and the rouge gouache they used on their faces was also the best, they all wanted to show their best side to the emperor.

"Whether you can be chosen by the emperor depends on your respective abilities, you have to understand what to do after meeting the emperor......" Mama Zhang was reprimanding these women, and these women were also humbly listening to Mama Zhang's reprimand.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With a shrill shout, Xiao Lang, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe, walked in, his face was serious, and under the bright yellow background, he looked even more arrogant and majestic.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Seeing Xiao Lang come in, everyone knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Xiao Lang said. "Keep your heads up."

The women all raised their heads with shy faces and looked at the emperor nervously.

The emperor is still as arrogant and uninhibited as ever, and he is still as handsome as before! No! It is more handsome, more noble and charming than before. Su Yuanyuan looked at the emperor, her heart was pounding, a few years ago, when the emperor was still the prince, the last time the emperor went to the southwest region to fight, she had seen the emperor once, at that time she secretly promised the emperor, but she has never had the opportunity to get close to the emperor, and she has no chance to express to the emperor, today she finally stood in front of the emperor again.

Xiao Lang felt as if a pair of eyes had been secretly watching him, and he was very unhappy in his heart, he glanced at these women and said, "You should all have heard that I have a soft spot for my queen, and the reason why I chose a concubine is also due to the pressure of the imperial court, so if any of you become my concubine, you must be able to endure loneliness, and if you regret it now, you can still quit." ”

Xiao Lang's words made them look at each other one by one. Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, what hero does not love beauty? Their emperor said that he only loved the queen. This is also rare in history!

"If you regret it, please take five steps back." Xiao Lang saw their performance and said it again.

Still no one retreated, Xiao Lang shook his head helplessly, these women really don't know the suffering of the deep palace? Or can they endure any kind of loneliness for the sake of glory and wealth? Or did they not hesitate to take advantage of their good youth for the position of that concubine?

"Since no one regrets it, then I will start to be a concubine." Since they chose these things, he hoped that they would do not regret it in the future, he Xiao Lang is not a lover, nor is he a person who knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

This is going to be a concubine? Those women all stared at the emperor with wide eyes, their emperor was really different from the previous emperor, the emperor said those few inexplicable words, and he didn't say anything more to be a concubine?

"Someone, hand me the roster." Xiao Lang shouted.

Someone immediately respectfully handed the roster of these women to Xiao Lang's hands.

"Su Yuanyuan, the daughter of the governor of the southwest, was canonized as Concubine Yuan and lived in Lixiang Palace, Qin Qingqing, the daughter of the sea salt transport, was canonized as Qin Concubine and lived in Xinlian Palace, and Mu Tiantian was canonized as Mu Concubine and lived in Wuyuan Palace,...... Okay, the canonization is complete, Gonggong An, you go to settle the newly canonized concubines, I have to go back to rest. Xiao Lang looked at the roster, casually registered eight concubines, and the remaining twelve were canonized as talented people and lived in Chuxiu Palace. It's like having done his due task, Xiao Lang doesn't want to stay here for a while longer, he wants to leave here early so that he can return to his Ling'er, he misses her again.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" After Xiao Lang finished speaking, everyone bowed again and sent Xiao Lang away.

In Fengyi Palace, Xiao Min was talking to Shi Ling'er with a face full of anger, "Queen Mother, today is the day of the emperor's concubine, you can also express your unhappy look to some extent!" How can you be so calm! ”

"Xiaomin, the girl who is about to get married, why are you still so big and small?" Shi Ling'er directly ignored Xiao Min's words and said.

"Who said Xiao Min was getting married? Xiao Min wants to be by the queen's side forever. Hearing the queen say that she was going to get married, Xiao Min pouted and said.

"When you get married, you can be by my side like a little girl!" Shi Ling'er smiled and scratched Xiao Min's nose and said. "Yesterday, the emperor told me that he would issue an order in the next two days to let you and Mo Yan's guards marry. After getting married, Mo Yan's guards still continued to stay by the emperor's side, and you still stayed by my side. ”

"Xiao Min don't get married, Xiao Min just needs to accompany the queen." Xiao Min said shyly, "Queen Mother, don't interrupt, just now Xiao Min said, the emperor is about to be a concubine, is the Queen Mother really not worried about anything?" ”

"It's false to say that you don't worry! It's just that the emperor also has the emperor's helplessness, and I can't force the emperor, I hope there won't be any unexpected changes in the future. Shi Ling'er sighed and said, how could she not be worried, although Xiao Lang had repeatedly assured her, but she knew that once a woman entered the harem, she would no longer be pure, and the opportunity would become full of scheming, and she could not guarantee that she would not encounter anything in the future. But what's the use of worrying, she still can't change the fact that Xiao Lang wants to take a concubine, and Xiao Lang can't do anything about it.

"The emperor has arrived!" A shout broke the conversation between Xiao Min and Shi Ling'er, and they looked towards the door together, and Xiao Lang was walking in the direction of Fengyi Palace.

"The emperor is blessed!" Xiao Min hurriedly saluted.

"Let's go down," Xiao Lang glanced at Xiao Min and said directly, he came to find his Ling'er, and wanted to live in the world of two people with his Ling'er.

"Yes! The slave and maid are gone! Xiao Min quit playfully.

"Ling'er, Ah Lang misses you again!" When only Xiao Lang and Shi Ling'er were left, Xiao Lang hugged Shi Ling'er, snuggled his head on Shi Ling'er's shoulder, and muttered, "Today, Ah Lang is a concubine, but Ah Lang doesn't even see what Ah Lang's concubine looks like, just deal with it casually, Ah Lang really doesn't want to be a concubine." ”

What the? He doesn't know what the concubine looks like? How can there be an emperor like him! Although he may not like those concubines, how can he say that the concubines in his book also represent his face, how can he be registered casually?

"Alang, you...... How can they be so casual, they are also your wives and concubines in name after all! ”

"I don't worry about it, the queen mother will worry about it, I believe that the women selected by the queen mother will not be bad, so I don't bother to go and see it." Xiao Lang explained that he knew that his mother would definitely check him well in terms of appearance and family background, so he didn't bother to look at it anymore, anyway, no matter who it was to him, he wouldn't like it.
