Chapter 44: The Selection
Ji Lianshao went directly to Chaoyun Palace, and saw the queen sitting on the right hand side of the dragon chair from a distance, wearing a long skirt of ochre-colored peony and thin hookah.
He walked over directly, and before he could speak, he was intercepted by the concubine, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
Ji Lianshao waved his hand and motioned her to get up, and then without looking at it, he went to help up the queen who was also asking for peace, and when he saw that there was no fat powder on her face, he was surprised: "Why didn't the queen add makeup today?" ”
Leng Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, the concubines don't like to wear makeup, and they often face the sky when they are at home, if the emperor doesn't like it, the concubines will go to put on makeup." ”
Ji Lianshao grabbed her, with a doting look on his face, "Who said I don't like it, I like the queen's natural beauty." ”
After that, the emperor and queen sat together, and the chief eunuch picked up the roster and read high: "The daughter of the Chinese scholar, Miao Ruolan, sixteen~"
As soon as the words fell, a tall and good-looking woman walked in, and after coming in, she knelt down and saluted, "The courtiers see the emperor, long live, I have seen the queen's mother, the noble concubine." ”
Concubine Rong shook the ink fan and said with a coquettish smile, "Your Majesty, this woman looks good, but this body is too ...... If you don't look at her children's clothes, the concubine still thinks she is a man, hehe......"
Ji Lianshao glanced at Concubine Rong who was trembling with smiling flowers, waved her hand, and the eunuch sang: "Miao Ruolan, remove your name, and reward fifty taels of silver." ”
"Next, Li Xianglan, the daughter of Yin of Shuntian Mansion, is seventeen years old."
Another woman walked up, her waist was soft and curly, Ji Lianshao glanced at it, and then looked at Leng Qinghuan beside her, "What does the queen think?" ”
Leng Qinghuan smiled and was generous, "Your Majesty, the draft is not a beauty pageant, it should be based on morality and appearance, this woman is dignified and elegant, and her demeanor is generous, she must be a well-informed woman." ”
"Since the queen said yes, then she will keep it."
looked at more than a dozen of each other in a row, Leng Qinghuan's eyes were also a little sour, and he was about to find an excuse to leave for a while, but he paused because he heard the name of the eunuch singing.
"The daughter of the Duke of Chu is Leng Qingzi, seventeen years old."
Leng Qinghuan looked at the door, only to see a woman wearing a lilac-colored soft silver light lily skirt, she walked into the center of the hall, she was wearing a plum blossom glass hairpin, and her ears were tied with white jade pendants.
At a glance, it is elegant and pure, and the temperament is not bad, compared with the previous women with heavy makeup, it is better.
"The courtiers meet the emperor, long live long live, long live, long live, long live the queen, the concubine." Leng Qingzi's voice is sweet and soft, even if a woman listens to it, her bones are crispy, let alone a man.
Leng Qinghuan's face sank.
Concubine Rong glanced at her, and a hint of sinister appeared on her face, "Your Majesty, isn't this the queen's sister?" Sure enough, they are sisters, as dignified and virtuous as the queen. ”
The kneeling Leng Qingzi's face obviously changed, "The concubine said with a smile, the courtiers are shallow, how dare they compare with the queen." ”
Even if they are sisters, when they come to the system, they must be distinguished by dignity and inferiority.
No matter how hateful Leng Qinghuan is, she is also the queen above 10,000 people under one person, she must be respected and respected first, and wait for the future......
Ji Lianshao was quite satisfied with her self-effacement, "It's quite self-aware, queen, I think it's also very good to have a sister talking in the palace." ”
Leng Qinghuan covered her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are choosing a concubine, not a concubine, how can it seem that you are choosing a concubine." ”
Ji Lianshao scraped the beauty mole on the tip of her nose, and regardless of the eyes of outsiders, she said with a smile: "Otherwise, the queen thinks that if I choose some bewitching women to enter the palace and add trouble to the queen, the queen will be displeased, and I will be unhappy." ”
"Your Majesty~" Leng Qinghuan whispered, if she didn't have to pretend to be affectionate in front of outsiders, she would really be disgusted by her shy appearance.
Concubine Rong looked at the emperor and queen like glue, with a look of jealousy on her face that she couldn't hide, and said in her heart: Sure enough, it is a fox, and the emperor who hooked up is about to lose his soul.
I don't see the emperor being so affectionate to her, hum!
