298 Just her!
The banquet of the eldest prince to choose a concubine is the biggest happy event in the imperial city this year.
There are a lot of people who come, from civil and military officials to nobles of the world, and all those who have reached the level have arrived.
After all, even the emperor and empress were present at the scene this time, showing their importance to the eldest prince.
Everyone has been preparing for a long time, but they didn't expect that the Nine Princes would say such a big thing.
Yun Shizi, the only minor lord of the Nine Kings Mansion, is a little overlord himself, his identity is extremely prominent, and he has a father who cares about him very much.
Previously, he had a very good relationship with the imperial concubine and won the emperor's favor.
It can be said that she is the little master who is loved by thousands of people.
It's only in recent years that Xiao Ting's bad reputation is greater than her, which makes her slowly fade in the mouth of the world.
is such a person, on such an important occasion, someone dares to beat her idea.
To be exact, someone was beating his mind.
What is it for?
Threatening the Nine Princes?
Other than that, you can't think of any other role.
It's just that the fact that the Nine Princes were imprisoned by the emperor has been confirmed in the reply of the Nine Princes.
Presumably, if it weren't for the concubine banquet of the eldest prince today, the Nine Princes would not have appeared here.
So what else does he have to threaten others?
The crowd began to ponder that perhaps the truth of the matter was beyond their imagination.
"Where is Xiaoyun now? Are you hurt? ”
The Emperor stood up directly, apparently treating the child with great affection as the legend suggests.
"Emperor Xie cares, Xiaoyun is fine, he is resting in the back hall, and the princess is taking care of it."
"That's good, find out that the thief is coming, is it this little girl?"
The emperor's face changed directly, staring at the little maid who was escorted over.
"Exactly."
The Ninth Prince nodded, then looked at Elder Xu Ge and said, "Does Elder Xu know this woman?" ”
Xu Gelao, who was ordered, was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the conversation to come to him.
Just snorted coldly: "What does the Ninth Prince mean, do you want to give the old man a hard button?" ”
"Don't you know?"
The Nine Princes raised their hands, and the two guards immediately escorted the maid to the front, exposing her face to everyone.
"That Miss Xu, do you know?"
The Nine Princes swept over with a faint gaze and looked at Xu Lingyue.
Forcing her gaze to look over.
Xu Lingyue only glanced at it, and her heart was shocked, this turned out to be her personal maid, Mingyue.
"I, I ......"
"Miss Xu is trying to say, don't you know?"
The Ninth Prince waved his hand again, and the maid suddenly spoke, apparently being dumb before, "Girl, girl, save me." ”
As soon as she said this, half of her tongue was cut off by a sword, and she rolled on the ground in pain.
"Ahhh......h
One of the guards slashed his sword, then calmly put away his sword and stood behind the Nine Princes.
The other had already stepped aside and just watched.
Those who were close all retreated en masse, their hearts trembling, and even more covered their mouths and exclaimed.
Most of the people sitting here are women in the back house, and it's okay to let them intrigue, but when they really feel this blood, they are all afraid.
Because there is no precursor.
The half of the tongue was bloody and sticky to the bluestone floor, which was very terrifying.
The scene was in chaos, and the eyes that looked at the Nine Princes changed, and they didn't dare to look at him at all.
In the past, he walked the world like a fairy, quiet and beautiful, and was not burdened by the red dust.
But now he seems to have suddenly become a devil who will explode at any time, and he will kill if he doesn't agree with him.
A few days ago, although the incident of arson dog murder and burning corpses in the Nine Princes' Mansion was spreading, many people did not see it with their own eyes, let alone see the Nine Princes order.
So it's all skeptical, there's a plan.
A lot of people thought it was fake at one point.
But now this scene makes everyone frightened.
Including the emperor, he didn't expect the Nine Princes to do this.
"Ninth brother, what are you doing here?"
The Nine Princes' eyebrows condensed slightly, and he replied calmly: "Can't the emperor see Miss Xu's personality?" ”
"Since they would not speak, the king spoke for them."
Then, he looked at everyone, pointed to Xu Ge Lao, and said, "A few days ago, everyone must have heard about what happened in this king's mansion. ”
"That's right, those people were ordered to be killed by this king, because they deserve to die."
"And the mastermind behind all this is her, Xu Lingyue."
"This king thought that you were a woman that day, and he was confused for a while, so spare your life and let you marry on your own, and this matter can be revealed, I didn't expect you to start the idea of the son of the world today, Miss Xu might as well say, what do you want?"
The Nine Princes have never said so many things in front of the world, let alone speak so harshly.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Lingyue, her face was pale, and she didn't know whether she was frightened or shocked.
The whole person is ignorant, obviously out of state.
He only muttered: "I didn't let her kill, I didn't let her kill......"
The maid Mingyue was still crying there, reaching out to everyone, hoping to save her.
Her mouth was covered with blood, which was very terrifying, her eyes were stained with blood, and she stared at the boss, which was extremely terrifying.
However, everyone stepped back, and regardless of her appearance at the moment, they said that she dared to kidnap Yun Shizi, which was eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts.
They all left the direction immediately.
The low tables and cushions were spilled everywhere with wine and dishes, and it was a mess.
Such a clear scene can be seen at a glance.
Xu Ge wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
In the end, he had to stand up and confess his guilt for Xu Lingyue, because the facts could no longer be concealed, and once the Nine Princes took action, there would be no room for recovery.
The Emperor's face was so cold that he was about to drip water.
He also said just now, this woman is virtuous and virtuous, where is her goodness? Where is virtue?
It's just a slap in the face, or the kind that snaps.
In the end, he still spared Xu Lingyue's life, but said that she would not marry in this life, and shaved her hair in Yunchan Temple to atone for her sins.
This concubine selection banquet greatly surprised everyone.
Xu Lingyue was deposed, and the position of the concubine was given up, and everyone waited for the emperor to make a new decree.
Especially the two daughters who had just been named the side concubines, they were even more excited.
No matter what happened, it couldn't stop everyone's fiery mood.
This time, the emperor did not give an order, and looked at the Nine Princes, his face still did not improve, and everyone did not dare to come out.
The emperor said bluntly, "Concubine Zheng, it's still the emperor, you can choose!" ”
He thought about it a lot, and he was full of emotion for a while, everything was because of the word 'love'.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the eldest prince got up, glanced at the women who came to run for election, and finally fixed his eyes on a weak girl.
"Just her!"
The girl who was ordered looked ignorant, and at the same time, a rolling murderous aura came from all directions, surrounding her.
Green Grass and Red Spoon didn't expect that the eldest prince would choose Xiao Jing.
I was stunned for a while, but I was still happy for her.
Hold her forward.
Xiao Jing was stupid and let them hold her, almost unable to stand steadily.
When they arrived in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded.
Then, even the queen and Concubine Chen frowned.
"Emperor, do you know her?"
Concubine Chen and the queen glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"No, I didn't." The eldest prince spoke calmly.
The Nine Princes had already retreated to their seats, sitting there calmly, unmoved by foreign affairs.
"Then why did you choose, her?" Concubine Chen's brows frowned even tighter, and the imperial hairpin on her head shook her head again and again, showing that her mood was not calm.
Not only Concubine Chen, everyone's eyes were on the girl who looked extremely weak standing in the middle at this moment.
In addition, she is like a manga, at a loss.
Lu Yi raised her arm lightly and whispered, "Fifth girl, isn't this what you expected?" ”
Xiao Jing looked at the green grass, and there was chaos in her eyes.
"Since everything is what you want, and the eldest prince has ordered you again, then show your courage, don't let him down, and you can't live up to the expectations of the old lady and the lady."
"I, can I?"
Her voice was like a mosquito, and Green Grass nodded and patted the back of her hand.
Red Spoon also gave her an affirmative answer.
Xiao Jing glanced up, the man who ordered himself to be his concubine, Gu Bo's face was not shocked, his eyes were deep, but there was no trace of disdain and disgust.
Just looked at her calmly like that.
Xiao Jing suddenly, I don't know where the strength came from, slowly let go of the hands of the green grass and the red spoon, and the lotus step walked forward.
Although she is not as charming as Xiao Mei, nor as light as Xiao Ya, nor as lively as Xiao Ting, but she has a seemingly weak but very strong heart.
Bow down, "Minnu Xiao Jing, meet the emperor, the queen, and the concubine." ”
Then he looked at the eldest prince, "Thank you, eldest prince." ”
She knelt there upright, looking soft and weak, but her back was straight.
At this moment, she has no timidity, nor does she tremble.
The eldest prince did not reply.
Seeing this, Concubine Chen's brows were about to frown, and she looked at the queen.
"Raise your head and let Hongu take a look."
Xiao Jing raised her head as she said, revealing an ordinary face that couldn't be more ordinary.
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously very dissatisfied.
"Which girl are you?"
Still, she felt like she needed to ask.
"Hui Niangniang, the people's daughter Xiao Jing, her father Xiao Zhan."
As soon as this name came out, everyone knew who he was.
The daughter of the famous Uncle Xiao Guo's family.
As soon as she heard that it was the girl of the Xiao family, Concubine Chen's eyes instantly stood up, and she looked at the place where the Nine Princes were sitting, but she didn't see the woman.
Her mind was in a mess, guessing everything in between.
The empress was also a little curious, and then looked at the emperor.
The emperor frowned, and said in his heart: Why do you have to have something to do with the girl of the Xiao family?
However, he still asked the eldest prince very seriously, "Emperor, why did you choose her?" ”
"Back to my father, my son felt that she was standing there quietly, and she was very relieved not to grab or fight."
This answer is simply absolute.
Emperor: "......"
Others are also ignorant, which is also a reason.
Not to mention that the prince chooses a concubine, that is, ordinary people choose a wife, that is to be the right person, and the woman is the best writer, has the temperament of everyone's daughter, the most important thing is to have the ability to manage the inner house, and can help her husband, then it is better.
What was his answer?
However, the emperor's words had been spoken before, and he was not remorseful, and finally reluctantly agreed to let Xiao Jing enter the palace.
After a banquet, too many things happened, and the emperor was extremely upset, and returned to the palace with the empress and others.
Everyone began to disperse.
In the Great Prince's Mansion, Chu Jiyao received the news, came to the back hall, and met Xiao Ting.
She was lying on the table, her hands on her cheeks, and she didn't know what she was thinking, very engrossed.
Chu Jiyao stood outside, and his steps to step forward finally stopped.
"The slave and maid meet the eldest prince."
