Chapter 10: Choosing a Concubine for the Emperor

In the past few days, Mu Huayin has eaten, drunk and slept well, traveled around every day, and lived so unhappily.

As the saying goes, she almost forgot her goal of escaping the palace until she received a letter.

This letter was written by her father, that is, Prime Minister Mu You, as for the content, naturally I heard that she would preside over the selection of concubines, and when she asked her to choose the show girls to enter the palace, she would follow the list attached to her letter.

Mu Huayin looked at the dense piece of paper full of names, and felt that her head hurt a little.

She only realized now that this was the person Qin Guifei was talking about.

She couldn't help but laugh dumbly, from ancient times to the present, the word unspoken rule has never been an exception, she was always in the position of being chosen before, until now she has the right to choose the fate of others, she feels that this feeling is not very good.

She didn't want to choose at all.

She even began to feel a little pitiful in her heart, although as an emperor and had everything in the world, the women who stayed by his side every night were all selected by others, and even with various purposes, interests, conspiracies, and false grievances with him.

But he had to accept these women because he could only access them.

The palace has never been a good place.

The more power and money are concentrated, the darker and more brutal the competition becomes.

She sighed and walked silently to the long desk, where a candle was lit, there was no wind outside the window, and the flames barely jumped, just burned quietly.

She took the letter, along with the list attached to it, and placed it on the flame.

In just a few moments, the letter was a pile of ashes and fell on the desk.

"Master, you ......"

Rue Xiang watched her actually burn the letter, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, she was Mu Huayin's dowry girl, she grew up in Mu Mansion since she was a child, and naturally knew that everything should be considered for the interests of the family, but Mu Huayin's actions were obviously not ready to listen to the master's words.

Mu Huayin sat down in front of the desk and sighed.

"Master, if you don't do what the master wants, the master will be angry."

Looking at the surprise on her face, after a while, Mu Huayin said faintly, "Even if I make him angry, I can't pay for the emperor's lifelong happiness." ”

Outside the hall, Xia Yichen, who had just walked into Fengqi Palace, stopped, he raised his hand, and the Gao Gong Guild willingly retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs behind him.

"How does this have anything to do with the emperor's lifelong happiness?"

Rue Xiang stared at her master with puzzled eyes, in her opinion, the emperor is the happiest person in the world, what do you want, no one dares to disobey his will, this is the position that many people dream of.

"If it were you, let you marry someone you have never met and don't know the roots, and spend your life with him, would you be willing?"

Rue Xiang shook her head, "But for a major matter like marriage, it's not our turn to make our own decisions." ”

Not to mention her, even her master, Mu Huayin, was not sent to the palace to serve as a pawn in political struggles.

"What's more, the show girls who can be selected into the palace are excellent regardless of their appearance and talent, as well as their background and family background."

"But not all of them have a sincere heart for the emperor."

But the most valuable thing is this sincerity.

"But since ancient times, all emperors have been like this, not just our emperor."

"What you said is good, but our emperor is different, because he has me as the queen," Speaking of this, Mu Huayin paused, and said in a very firm tone, "I will definitely do my best to choose a suitable show girl for him, so that I can feel at ease when I leave." ”

She can't control others, but she will never allow the Mu family's eyes and ears to come to Xia Yichen's side through her.
