Chapter 309: Concubine Selection Ceremony (1)
Gongyi Wuying pulled Shangguan Yuchen to the main hall of the Prince's East Palace, and saw Gongyi Jing'er casually looking at the portrait on the table.
She didn't even forget to see it, so she hurriedly handed over the portrait, "Queen Mother, this portrait of the concubine, the palace maid missed one." ”
Gongyi Jing'er took the portrait and unfolded it, only smiled gently: "This painting is extraordinary." Then he handed the portrait back to Gongyi Wuying.
Gongyi Wuying was stunned for a moment, could it be that the queen mother still didn't agree to marry Xiaoyue without dispute? He was about to continue to persuade him, but he saw a chamberlain walk in.
After seeing the ceremony, the chamberlain respectfully reported: "Queen, all the concubines have arrived at the place where the concubines are selected." ”
"Go and ask the prince to come over." Gongyi Jing'er responded calmly, and then said softly to Gongyi Wuying: "The concubine has arrived, and the queen mother will leave first." With that, he got up and left.
Seeing the figure of the queen mother disappearing into the hall, Gongyi Wuying was anxious, the hand holding the portrait tightened, and after a little thought, he put the portrait in his hand on Shangguan Yuchen's hand beside him, and said: "Brother Chen, no matter what, I have to bring Xiaoyue, you watch here first." ”
"Well, then you go and get back quickly." Shangguan Yuchen's voice was gentle.
Gongyi bowed his head slightly, and then stopped staying, hurriedly left the palace, and went straight to the palace of the king of war.
…………
In the garden of Donggong Nuoda, nearly 100 women with light makeup and different postures were waiting there.
Gongyi Jing'er and Yan Wuzheng came over and sat in the main and secondary seats that had been set up long ago.
All the selected concubines knelt down in unison to salute: "See the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince." The Queen's Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”
Gongyi Jing'er replied softly: "Get up." ”
The concubines stood up in response.
Yan Wuzheng's eyes swept quickly, but when he saw that these nearly 100 women, either gorgeous, elegant, gentle and dignified, and Yue'er without him, his mood instantly fell.
"Your father is about to go to court, and you will click on which woman you choose, and someone will choose your portrait." Gongyi Jing'er spoke gently.
"Oh," Yan Wuzheng replied casually.
Seeing him like this, she said: "Your father said before that if you don't choose a concubine, then you will choose a crown princess among the princesses of Huanli Country." ”
Yan Wuzheng felt even more aggrieved in his heart, so he simply got up directly and bowed his hand: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to go down and rest first." ”
Gongyi Jing'er frowned slightly, "The concubine to be selected will show her performance, how can you leave the stage?" ”
"Erchen is in the side hall not far from the queen mother, although it is a little farther away, but it is enough to see the performance here, Erchen really doesn't like this excitement." Yan Wuzheng looked depressed.
Gongyi Jing'er was helpless, and she thought that the fight might be because she didn't see Yue'er, Yue'er was a new concubine, and she was only notified this morning, so it must be later. Anyway, he gave Zheng'er a surprise for a while, then glanced at the side hall where his eyes were pointing, and said gently: "In this case, Zheng'er will go to the side hall to see." ”
"The retainers retired."
Yan Wuzheng walked to the side hall in a distraught manner, and suddenly heard a male voice coming: "No dispute." ”
He turned around slightly, and saw Shangguan Yuchen, who was dressed in a white shirt and gorgeous costume, walking towards him, so he called softly: "Brother-in-law Chen." ”
Shangguan Yuchen saw that his eyes were dim, and knew that he was uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
However, Yan Wuzheng saw that Shangguan Yuchen was holding a scroll of paintings in his hand, and he took it over and unfolded it to take a look, and immediately seemed to understand something, and said with a wry smile: "Why have I confessed that my father still refuses to let me marry Yue'er?" ”
He looked at the portrait in distraction before pushing the door open and entering the side hall.
Since there is no one in my heart in this concubine selection ceremony, what does it mean to choose a concubine?
