Chapter 35 The Storyteller
"You all guessed wrong, this time the choice of concubine is not so simple!" Seeing that the guests sitting below were all speculating wildly, the storyteller smiled strangely while drinking tea, and then regained his composure. However, none of the guests who were watching the outcome of this incident noticed.
"Guess wrong? It shouldn't be, the nobles who can participate in the queen's group banquet this time, there are only a few suitable ones, we all said, won't none of them be selected! "After listening to the storyteller's words of making a mystery, some of the guests who were anxious were not so patient to wait for the answer.
didn't wait for the storyteller to say the follow-up, and directly said the news and thoughts he knew. The other guests around did not interrupt, but nodded approvingly, and whispered to each other with the friends who were more familiar with them.
Hearing this listener who suddenly interjected and interrupted his storytelling, the storyteller was not annoyed, but just pretended to smile mysteriously. Watching the scene slowly calm down, the storyteller began to continue.
"Haha, what you just said is right, there is no winner on the surface of this banquet, but it can also be said that there has already been a candidate, and it is definitely the princess, but it is not clear which one His Royal Highness is now."
"How so? Could it be that this concubine selection is also child's play? "I didn't expect it to be this answer, and everyone who had been wondering the result was suddenly speechless, and sure enough, the royal family can play, and we ordinary people don't understand.
"Yes, I've been preparing for so long, but now there's nothing, I really don't know how to say this!" As soon as they heard the result, everyone began to talk about their thoughts.
"What is this?"
"yes, how could this be."
“……”
“……”
"Okay, be quiet, I'm not done yet, this matter doesn't end here, there's more interesting to come." Looking at the group of people below, who were introduced into their own thoughts by themselves, I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart, these stupid civilians.
As soon as I heard it, it wasn't over yet, and there were still those people who were just about to get up and leave, and they silently returned to their places and waited.
"Anyway, in this draft, there are actually only three protagonists, two highnesses and that noble girl, but I think the most important protagonist is still in the hands of that woman." Looking at the guests who came back again, the storyteller was not annoyed by what they had just done, but just calmly said his own.
"How are there three? There were so many people who went to participate at that time. As soon as he heard the storyteller's words, the guests in the green robe instantly grasped the point, and they were very puzzled, after all, this time the royal banquet was held, and the nobles who went didn't say anything, how could there be more than ten or twenty.
"Yes, and also, it's ridiculous how a woman makes a choice in the end." As soon as he heard that it was a woman, a man dressed as a scholar couldn't help but stand up and said indignantly.
Looking at this expression and what he said, he knew that he was a pedantic and macho poor scholar.
"yes, how can you let women make choices, what kind of face does this make our men, this thing is really, eh!" Someone started talking about this, and there were a lot of men and almost no women present, and it was very recognized by everyone for a while.
They began to whisper their opinions to each other again. Seeing that everyone seemed to agree with their opinions, the worries and fears just now suddenly dissipated, and some were full of confidence. The whole person began to hold his chest high, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
It turned out that the storyteller did not agree, but he did not refute it out loud, and these people did not ask much, and when they saw that he was silent, they thought that he was acquiescing.
"It's not good to say much about this matter, after all, this matter was personally agreed by His Majesty, and this is a competition between two men and one woman, and it is not a big deal." Looking at the crowd that had gradually calmed down, the storyteller threw down a fire again.
"This, how can you say that, these are not those ordinary people, but the two most noble highnesses of the Qi country, how can they be so foolish!" I didn't expect that this matter was agreed to by my most honorable majesty, and what I just said to refute for a while is even more intense now.
Originally, as the protagonists of this time, the two highnesses were the most likely candidates to become the next throne, but now when they heard the news, the loss and shock in their hearts were not a little bit.
"Sure enough, the woman is a red face and a disaster, what is this matter, she seduced the two highnesses like this." A small-looking young man sitting in the crowd looked at everyone and began to talk about His Highness, his eyes rolled, as if he thought of something, and sighed with pity.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard this explanation, the people in the audience began to boil like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
"yes, what's the matter? It must be a red face and trouble, how can a woman provoke a fight between two men, it must be the deliberate seduction of that woman! ”
"That's right! But who is this woman? It has so much charm. ”
"Yes, storyteller, you haven't said who this woman is? What a girl! ”
"What kind of girl is it, who can arouse the favor of these two highnesses, and can also make His Majesty personally agree."
"Could it be that she is the first talented woman in the imperial capital of Qi State, as far as I know, this noble girl can have this possibility." As soon as they heard the guess of which noble girl it was, everyone began to swear and talk about what they thought in their hearts, and they always felt that what they said was right.
"No, I think the concubine of the Shangshu family is also good, although she is not as famous as Miss Qiu's, but in terms of the appearance of that identity, she can also be ranked."
"Well, I also think that the daughter of the Prime Minister is also very good, and I heard that she is also a beautiful woman, and she is both talented and beautiful."
"The girl of the Zhao family is also good......"
"The Li family is also suitable......"
“……”
“……”
When it came to girls, everyone began to talk about what they thought was better. For a while, the whole scene was similar to a vegetable market, noisy.
Looking at these men who kept talking, the storyteller frowned a little impatiently, it was too noisy, I didn't expect men to be so noisy, it was really a little irritating!
"You all thought badly, you didn't guess right, this woman this time, but she has a lot of background." Looking at the scene that was still very noisy, the storyteller couldn't help but raise his voice and say.
Well? Neither? Who's that?
The audience also fell from this sentence, and the moment of silence, the strong curiosity in everyone's hearts was provoked.
At that moment, the woman who made people suspicious made people feel even more curious, and the sense of mystery aroused the curiosity of more people.
"Are there any other better and famous women in this capital?" Hearing the storyteller say that these are not, I can't help but feel confused, these are all well-known nobles in the capital, isn't it a concubine, but a concubine? That's too big a gap!
"Why didn't you, you talked about it for a long time, but you didn't talk about the Qin family's descendant lady, the head of the four major families." Looking at these people who were still at a loss, the storyteller was very speechless, and he didn't know how these people survived in the important city of the imperial capital.
"The Qin family? Does the Qin family have a young lady? "When I heard that it was the Qin family, I was more at a loss, obviously everyone didn't know a lot about the Qin family.
"Yes! I heard that there is a young lady in the Qin family, but her health is not very good, and she has already returned to her ancestral house to recuperate, but she didn't expect to come back suddenly at this time. Obviously, this person was still able to know some news, and as he spoke, he didn't know what to think, so he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Isn't it just a sick seedling, it's so powerful, I haven't seen it for a few years, and I don't know what it looks like, if it's ugly and shameless, it's fun." Hearing that it was a sick seedling, a man couldn't help but interject.
From his words, it can be seen that this is a bad man, casually belittling others.
"Just guess, just with the two highnesses competing for such a woman, how can it be as unbearable as you say, besides, just look at the appearance of those masters of the Qin family, how can they be ugly, don't you know, Qin Zhengyang, the head of the Qin family, and his son are all handsome and chic."
A person who heard someone say this about the Qin family suddenly interjected back, thinking that the brothers of the Qin family are so handsome, and General Xiao, as a mother, is also a rare beauty, where can the daughter born be so bad, not to mention the stunning city, how can she be so delicate and lovely.
"That's not a simple sick seedling, no matter what people say, they are all the daughters of the Qin family, and you haven't seen it, how can you know about this family's affairs, it's hard to say whether it's a sick seedling or not. If you are rich and powerful, you can't ask God to heal any disease. ”
"Yes, you know, we won't understand the world of those rich and powerful." Looking at the one-sided remarks, a person who looked at the person wearing a simple sheet music sighed deeply.
"This royal decision is not something that we civilians can discuss, we just need to live our own lives, we just listen to these royal things, don't take it too seriously." looked at these people around him and began to say their opinions indignantly.
I can't help but feel a little headache, these people dare to say anything now, and they are really not afraid of being heard by someone with a heart, and being accused and implicated.
"I don't know if this Miss Qin is the sick child you are talking about, but what I do know is that she is probably the biggest winner of this banquet." looked at the people who had gradually entered their control, and couldn't help laughing.
"Speaking of this result, but the eldest lady of the Qin family personally asked His Majesty, who of you present has the courage to negotiate conditions with Your Majesty." Looking at the quietly listening guest, the storyteller smiled and dropped an even bigger bomb.
Hearing this huge news, the person who originally wanted to say something was suddenly so shocked that he couldn't speak, and the whole person was a little stunned, muttering to himself: "Negotiate conditions with Your Majesty, talk to Your Majesty about conditions......"
