In the palace, candles were extinguished everywhere at this time, and both the masters and the eunuchs and palace maids rested.

In the apse of the imperial study, the emperor changed his robe but did not sleep, and walked slowly on the ground.

"Your Majesty, rest early, tomorrow the crown prince chooses a concubine, you still have to bother."

Mr. Yi bowed down and served, carefully persuading.

The emperor waved his hand and said something else.

"You've been with me for thirty years, haven't you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave was still a little eunuch at that time, and he was often bullied because he was thin. It was still the emperor who was kind-hearted and took the old slave with him to serve, so that the old slave was able to survive. ”

Mr. Yi didn't know why the emperor asked about this, so he could only pick up nice words.

I didn't want the emperor to sigh, and responded, "At that time, don't say that you are a minion." Even if I am a prince, I am still alive and trembling. Fortunately, I was accompanied by my cousin, and although it was a little harder, I slowly got better. ”

Manager Yi's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "The old slave remembers, on the day you ascended the throne, the Hou Ye still hugged you and cried." That was the first time the old slave saw Hou Ye shed tears, and he always had a cold face on weekdays, protecting you. ”

"Yes, my cousin is not much older than me, but in order to protect me, he always has a cold face, so others will be more scruples.

"Later, I ascended the throne, and was suppressed by the Queen Mother, and my cousin took over the secret guard, how many times I struggled for life and death, helped me a lot, and finally let me be on an equal footing with the Queen Mother......

"Later, I became my own son, but my cousin has always been alone, fortunately I recognized Fu Niuer as a righteous daughter, otherwise I would not know what it is like to be a parent for the rest of my life......"

The emperor rarely opened the chatterbox, and actually ordered to ask for wine and food, and poured himself a drink.

Mr. Yi stayed by the side and played a good role.

From time to time, I echoed a sentence or two, followed by two or three sighs.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the emperor was half drunk and put down the flask.

"Sometimes, I miss my childhood, although it is more bitter, but it is also much simpler. Nothing to do, no dilemma......"

With that, he waved his hand, "Go down and rest, I have slept." ”

Mr. Yi hurriedly saluted, then stepped back and went out, closing the door tightly.

The crescent moon in the sky hangs alone, as if the crooked eyes are laughing at the squalor of the world, the selfishness and hypocrisy of human beings......

Compared with Prince Feng, today's concubine selection is actually more lively.

Although only more than 100 girls participated in the election, there were more than 1,000 relatives and friends who saw them off, as well as the maids and women who were waiting with them, and the palace gate was impassable.

If there are many women, you will inevitably talk too much, and if you talk too much, you will inevitably be noisy.

Occasionally, the father and brother of the girl who participated in the election came, and the head of the quarrel was bigger, and he almost ran for his life and quit the "battle circle".

Fortunately, as soon as the sky lit up, the palace gate opened.

The door that was still noisy immediately became quiet.

The girls dressed up one by one, walked in a curling manner, showed their dignified and gentle beauty without hesitation, and then lined up to enter the palace.

The Queen Mother has made a big mistake and has returned to the underworld.

The concubine counted ants in the cold palace.

Although the queen is "alive", she is actually dead.

The huge palace now does not even have a hostess.

Therefore, after losing most of their hair, the people of the Ministry of Rites came up with an idea to show their talents.

The main field is still in the Imperial Garden, the emperor and the prince are not far away on the water pavilion, and the third princess is invited to sit and entertain guests.

The ladies were originally a little worried, after all, the three princesses were really not easy to get along with, and they didn't care about their faces at all.

But after thinking about it, they are not here to be guests at the banquet now, but to choose a concubine.

In the future, I can't say who is the sister-in-law of the third princess!

No matter how noble the third princess is, she is about to get married.

A married girl, no matter how arrogant she is, she doesn't have the courage to embarrass her mother-in-law, after all, she will count on her mother's support in the future!

Thinking like this, the ladies were full of confidence and restored the arrogant appearance of their noble daughters.

But they were doomed to disappointment once again.

The third princess has no mother, and she keeps filial piety for a few days, full of anger.

At this time, the eyes are full of flowers and branches, and the golden light is flashing, how can it be possible to give them a good face!

As a result, the talent list reported by many ladies was held in her hand, and she casually changed it beyond recognition.

Those who are good at playing the piano have changed to dancing.

Those who are good at dancing changed to drawing.

Those who are good at drawing are changed to embroidery.

In short, no one wants to be satisfied, and they all show the other side that no one knows.

The ladies were stunned, and they didn't understand if they didn't look good at the good luck when they went out today.

There are smart ones who keep silent and wait and see.

is squeamish, and has red eyes.

Of course, there are also those who are bold and upright, and they oppose it when they open their mouths.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the little girl is not good at playing the piano, and the little girl wants to dance. For this reason, the little girl specially sewed the dance costume and practiced for a long time, you can't just change it! ”

The third princess didn't care, and while eating the fruit leisurely, she responded, "Since you came to choose a concubine, shouldn't you be well prepared?" You're good at dancing, so this princess must watch you dance?

"Besides, didn't your upbringing grandmother teach you? People should get along with each other for a long time, not the glamorous outside, but the real inside. Who knows if you dance so well, are you vicious and selfish in your heart?

"What if the prince's brother is attracted by your dancing and comes back after marrying you to find that you are a waste who can't even write or take a needle?"

"You ......" The noble girl gritted her teeth angrily, wanting to say anything but not daring.

After all, if she continues to talk about it, she will become a scheming woman who tries her best to cover up her shortcomings.

The "rising bird" hit the wall, and the rest of the people naturally won't be stupid and uncomfortable.

For a time, everyone accepted the fact that the rules were temporarily changed.

The first noble girl to appear drew two ducks, saying that it was a mandarin duck playing in the water.

The second lady who appeared flashed her waist while dancing!

The third noblewoman who appeared was pricked by the tip of a needle before she embroidered a red leaf......

The third princess had fun, eating and drinking while watching everyone make a fool of themselves, and occasionally clapping and laughing a few times.

At first, the nobles were looking forward to the opposite water pavilion, and the emperor or the prince would stop the three princesses and make them the masters.

As a result, no orders came out of the Water Pavilion.

Gradually, they also became numb.

If you lose face, you will lose face, and you are not alone left and right.

If everyone is disgraced, then it is not called disgrace!

When one girl danced and kicked her shoes off, and the shoes were set into the other girl's bun, the third princess almost slapped the table, and almost rolled to the ground with laughter.

And the water pavilion on the opposite side finally had a little movement.

The prince coughed, and the taste of the tea spraying out of his nose was too unpleasant.

But he still couldn't stop laughing!

The emperor also pulled his sleeves to block his face, and his shoulders kept shaking.

Manager Yi was busy handing the prince a handkerchief, wiping the table, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you really need to stop the princess?" ”
