1 Choosing a concubine

Zhou Ze's gaze lost the eagerness he had just had, his smile no longer existed, and his eyes were like a lake thrown into a boulder for a moment, stirring up bursts of confusion, confusion, speculation, and shock......

Suddenly

"Da Sima, please come over, I have something to talk to you about,"

The cold voice broke all Zhou Ze's confusion, Ling Dongwu raised his head, and saw Mo Li standing at the door of Dali Temple with a gloomy face, looking at his face calm and waveless, but his gloomy and sharp gaze fell straight into her eyes, and his eyes penetrated her body, as if to see her soul,

Ling Dongwu knew that Mo Li was not Zhou Ze, he was a hundred times more shrewd than Zhou Ze, and the clarity and clarity in his eyes made her panic,

As soon as Zhou Ze heard Mo Li's voice, he immediately came back to life, and ran back to Mo Li's side in a few big steps, his excited voice almost changed his tone, "Prime Minister, your eyes are amazing, take a closer look, is that person Ling Yatou, I look like it, but she said she doesn't know me, you go over and take a look, otherwise, or I will go in and call the eldest brother out and let him recognize it, he must be very happy......"

"Nonsense," Mo Li scolded in a low voice, interrupting Zhou Ze's excited nonsense, "You remember, she is not Empress Ling, Empress Ling has died, you don't want to mention this matter in front of the emperor,"

"Why, she is obviously Ling Yatou," Zhou Ze is always equivalent to an idiot in front of Mo Li,

Mo Li's cold and sharp gaze shot on Zhou Ze's face, "Even if she is a Ling girl, don't you see that she already has a husband and is pregnant with someone else's child, even if she is Queen Ling, can she still return to the palace with such an identity, continue to be the queen's mother, continue to be the mother of the world, where does your face to the emperor exist, and how can the face of the entire Northern Desert exist?"

Mo Li's deep voice sank Zhou Ze's heart to the bottom of his belly, yes, Ling Dongwu and Xiao Haotian are not ordinary little couples, they can quarrel casually, they can be reconciled casually, they are emperors and empresses, many times, they are covered with water,

"The emperor's mood has just gotten better recently, and his thoughts about Empress Ling have gradually calmed down, so don't have nothing to do, in a few days, I will join forces with other ministers to let the emperor choose a concubine, and when the time comes, it's okay if you don't help, don't mention these things to make trouble for me," Mo Li's expression became more and more angry, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Zhou Ze,

"Then, don't you recognize Ling girl, but the eldest brother has been thinking about her," Zhou Ze looked in the direction of Ling Dongwu unwillingly, Ling Dongwu, for him, there is a different feeling, a little better than a friend, a little worse than a lover, what should it be called, he doesn't know what to position this feeling,

"I know, the emperor can't forget her, but time will help people forget everything, and she herself didn't say, isn't she Ling girl, if you have to get a big-bellied her in front of the emperor, how can you make the emperor embarrassed,"

Zhou Ze stood there, looking at Ling Dongwu's eyes gloomy and painful, his heart was bitter, as if someone had injected bitter gall into the blood vessels of his heart, and all his limbs were intertwined with bitterness and weirdness.

Even if you don't know each other,

Ling Dongwu returned home with Xiao Yifei and Sang Feng, looking at Xiao Yifei and Sang Feng's eyes, she knew that if she didn't say something, they wouldn't let her go.

I had to grin and said with difficulty: "My former father-in-law, that is, the father of the child in the womb, is a good friend of Da Sima Zhou Ze, and I have known Zhou Ze for many years, and later, when I came to him, he didn't want me anymore, Zhou Ze is a very righteous person, and he wants to fight for me, I don't think there is any need for this, so I pretend not to know him, I think, since I want to break it, let's break it completely with the past,"

When Ling Dongwu said this, he once again remembered the situation when Xiao Haotian and Xiao Yingyue were together, only to feel that the circles under his eyes were hot, and the tears could not stop flowing down anymore.

Tears rained down, and all her pretense of strength collapsed at this moment,

Xiao Haotian, if there is really that day, when we meet again, we will eventually be passers-by, and now, you and I have been separated by the farthest distance in the world, and we can't turn back, although helpless, although sad...... But...... Everything is irretrievable,

Xiao Yifei and Sang Feng saw Ling Dongwu like this, and they only sighed wordlessly,

On the Daming Palace

Xiao Haotian sat on the dragon chair, as if he had not slept all night last night, looking at his expression, he must be for the country and the people, tired all night, his face was full of exhaustion,

However, his momentum is still so frank and fearless, at this moment, he is still a proud, mature, and responsible emperor.

Since Ling Dongwu left, Xiao Haotian has been like this, the whole person has become silent, especially recently, he is even more sharp-handed, fierce, decisive in killing, everything adds a little awe,

This change of his made his ministers feel more pressured, so the expressions of these courtiers were also exhausted, and they stood trembling, facing Xiao Haotian as if they were chilling, they could only restrain their subordinates in case they were blamed for any small mistakes.

Mo Li knelt on the black marble that was recognizable, and the person behind the bookcase slowly raised from the bright yellow fold in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a touch of fine light, making people feel that there was an indescribable chill walking all over his body, "Prime Minister, why do you give this great gift,"

Mo Li arched to the ground: "Your Majesty, now that you have been on the throne for a year, you are only surrounded by a jade tree under your knees, and the six palaces are hollow, since the queen left, you have not accepted any more concubines, and the ministers think it is inappropriate," After speaking, he took out a number of scrolls from his sleeve and handed them to the deacon eunuch, "These are the ladies and ladies selected by the ministers, the emperor can be satisfied with it,"

Xiao Haotian watched the internal officials unfold a number of picture scrolls in their hands on the case in turn, and saw that they were portraits of beautiful women, or graceful, or charming, or beautiful, and most of them were the daughters of the ministers of the court.

Xiao Haotian's face immediately became gloomy: "I have bothered the prime minister, if it changes hands at the beginning of the day, turbulence and hidden worries still exist, and state affairs are entangled, I am afraid it is not appropriate to consider this matter,"

"Your Majesty, with all due respect to the old minister's bluntness, the harem cannot be without a concubine for a day, Your Majesty should consider this matter as soon as possible, in order to spread the branches and leaves, and don't have to do the useless work of fetching water in a bamboo basket for that mirror,"

Xiao Haotian heard Mo Li's words, and naturally knew what he was referring to, and his brows began to twist slightly,

Seeing this, a group of ministers behind him immediately knelt down with Hulala, "Your Majesty, please think twice,"

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened,

After a long silence,

Xiao Haotian flicked his sleeves and said slowly; "Stand down,"

The tone is still peaceful, but it makes people feel angry.

"Please think twice,"

"You are so bold, I have said many times that I will not accept a concubine for the time being, how can I play with a child's play,"

A thunderclap, angry voice,
