Chapter 217: Covenant (2)

Ling Zixie sat on the main seat of the Spirit Spring Pavilion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are a total of 18 low coffee tables underneath, on which are placed a variety of fine snacks and fine wines.

At the same time, eighteen beauties sat at the coffee table, their faces full of joy that could not be hidden.

These beauties are all the daughters of courtiers, and they can only sit here after careful selection and various tests.

Such qualifications are incomparably honorable.

So the beauties present, no one can look at who is not pleasing to the eye.

As for this concubine selection banquet, it was purely a suggestion made by a minister.

A month ago, Feng Minmin had amnesia, and Ling Zixie responded to the minister in a fit of anger and agreed to hold this concubine selection banquet.

The minister was happy for a long time, because this was a matter related to the rivers and mountains of Ohara.

Since Ling Zixie ascended the throne, he has only accepted one concubine.

That concubine, few people have ever seen it, and I even heard that it was a woman who had been in a state of sleep.

This must not be a hasty death to the courtiers below.

Therefore, the ministers put forward this or that suggestion from time to time, hoping that Ling Zixie could recruit concubines and spread the branches for the royal family.

All along, Ling Zixie did not object to or respond to these suggestions.

No one expected that this time he would agree.

However, one seat was empty.

This seat is located on the far right under the staircase of the main seat.

To be precise, this position is the closest to the emperor.

Many people have seen this location, but no one dares to ask who it is for.

All they knew was that the man didn't come.

It doesn't matter how important someone is.

Because of the person who didn't appear, even if the emperor gave her an important position, what did it matter?

"Have you heard? The emperor will choose at least three concubines this time. In other words, we have a 1 in 9 chance to be selected. ”

It was Chen Siyao, the daughter of Chen Shucheng, the newly promoted Imperial Captain, who spoke.

Sitting next to her was Li Yunxiang, the daughter of Li Shoumin.

Li Yunxiang smiled, "Well, yes, sister." ”

Although Li Yunxiang is one year older than Chen Siyao in terms of age, Chen Siyao's father's official position is higher than Li Yunxiang's.

So according to the etiquette, Li Yunxiang wants to call Chen Siyao her sister.

Chen Siyao suddenly asked again, "You say, who is that empty position for?" ”

Li Yunxiang lowered her eyes tenderly, and the corners of her mouth raised an unknown smile, and she did not answer Chen Siyao.

Chen Siyao was puzzled by Li Yunxiang's inexplicable smile, and thought to herself that she really didn't know what to do.

It's so rude, huh!

Li Yunxiang didn't pay any attention to Chen Siyao anymore, and instead kept looking at the gate.

Seems to be waiting for something.

Like her, the people who kept looking at the gate, and Ling Zixie who was sitting on the main seat.

There is no trace of emotion in a pair of handsome eyes.

Today is their appointed time.

Why hasn't she come yet.

According to the rules, it's time for this concubine banquet to begin.

Gonggong Liu looked at the time and felt that the time had already passed, so he kindly reminded Ling Zixie in his ear.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has long passed. Let's not wait. ”

Ling Zixie came back to his senses and looked at the eighteen beauties sitting below who couldn't bear to express themselves.

Although he was reluctant, he still said, "Okay, let's start!" ”

Gonggong Liu nodded, and then said, "The concubine selection banquet has officially begun!" ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, the timid lowered their heads and pricked up their ears respectfully, and the bold ones looked up slightly at the tall man.

Ling Zixie said slowly, "You don't need to be restrained, just be casual." ”

Eighteen beauties responded in a tender voice: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

The selection of concubines, according to the setting process, has three main points.

First, eighteen beauties take turns to perform their talents.

Second, when the emperor has a question, the beauties are responsible for answering, whether the answer is correct or not, mainly depends on the performance.

Third, the emperor walked around the field with a wine glass, and the one who clinked glasses with him was the selected concubine, otherwise, he was defeated.

Immediately after, a beautiful woman sitting in the second row walked out with a lute.

"Your Majesty, Shan Shan, the daughter of the Prime Minister of the slave family. I will play a song for you, "Come for You". ”

Ling Zixie smiled and nodded, but there was no trace of turmoil in his heart.

The sound of the pipa played next was very beautiful, but unfortunately Ling Zixie was absent-minded at all, so in this way, one after another beautiful women performed their talents.

There are performances and recitations, there are singing, there are poems, in short, there are all kinds of performances.

It's a pity that Ling Zixie didn't hear it at all, and he didn't even know what was happening.

He kept his gaze through the doorway.

How I wished that the familiar figure suddenly stood there and surprised him.

But he felt as if he was hallucinating, and when a bird flew outside, he thought it was the woman coming, or a cloud streaking across the sky, and he thought it was the woman coming.

However, time passed little by little, and there was no trace of the door at this time.

In the end, he was even ready to go out at any time to arrest the untrustworthy woman back, and then punish him severely!!

Li Yunxiang was the last to appear, and Li Yunxiang walked to the lobby like a well-behaved rabbit.

She said a few words faintly, and then walked down quietly.

"She's definitely coming. This is the end of the slave's talent show. ”

Ling Zixie finally looked away and glanced at Li Yunxiang.

All the beauties in the hall are at a loss, what does this mean?

Cipher?

Also, who would perform their talents like this? Is this also a talent? Who will come?

Some people don't know why, thinking that Li Yunxiang, a weak woman, is afraid of such a scene, and she is so nervous that she is talking nonsense.

He laughed to himself.

"Hey~ Sure enough, I haven't seen the world. This is also called talent, it's really a laughing slave! ”

"yes, yes!"

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

Ling Zixie was already in a bad mood, and asked sharply, "Bold, who is making noise outside the door!?" ”

Gonggong Liu immediately lowered his head, "Don't worry, the emperor, let the old slave go and have a look." ”

As soon as Gonggong Liu finished speaking, a guard was kicked in from the outside and fell heavily to the ground.

"Blind to your special dog eyes, you don't even know Ben Mushroom Liang?"

Why is this sound so familiar?

Ling Zixie raised his eyes, not knowing what to do for a moment.

She just appeared, and she appeared in a hurry.

"Bold! You Diao Min, why did you break into the palace and make trouble! ”

However, she was late after all, and she had waited for her for so long! Doesn't she know that the agreement is to be punctual!

It's so damning!

Feng Minmin thought that Ling Zixie would be very happy to see her, but he didn't expect that this person hadn't seen her for a month, so he forgot about her completely? (To be continued.) )
