Chapter 275: Choosing the Imperial Concubine
Remember [Pen โ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Concubine Hui expressed her love for herself in full view of everyone, and she couldn't help but suspect that she was suspected of wooing herself.
And about this palace banquet, Su Moliang heard a little rumor, it seemed that the queen and Concubine Hui intended to find a candidate for the imperial concubine for the seventh prince and the sixth prince at the palace banquet.
Su Moliang couldn't be sure what Concubine Hui meant at first, but when she saw her attitude today, she was already very sure that she was deliberately trying to win her over and let her marry Gong Moyu.
However, what she deliberately did was so obvious, in fact, it was for the queen to see.
The queen and her are mortal enemies, she expressed kindness to Su Moliang, and the queen will definitely think that Su Moliang is Concubine Hui's person, and she is naturally more hostile to Su Moliang.
Therefore, Concubine Hui's move was not to choose a concubine, but to force Su Moliang to stand on the opposite side of the queen and had to accept her wooing.
Hmph, this old fox is so cunning, using such a means really makes Su Mo have no choice.
At this moment, Su Moliang understood Concubine Hui's intentions, and the others naturally understood.
On the entire hall, I couldn't help but talk about the marriage of the six princes.
Gong Youyi was recently grounded by the emperor for killing the daughter of the Yin family and did not attend this birthday banquet, but Gong Moyu himself was above the main hall, sitting not far below Concubine Hui, and suffered from everyone's discussion.
At this time, his face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Su Moliang.
He was obviously disgusted with this woman, but the queen mother wanted to win over this shameless woman in public, and his internal organs burned badly as if they were about to explode.
But Concubine Hui didn't say anything about their marriage, and he couldn't stand up to oppose it amorously, so he could only endure his anger, pick up the wine glass in front of him, and take a sip of it.
Su Moliang also saw Gong Moyu's angry expression in his eyes, a faint light crossed his eyes, and he pretended not to know, and he didn't understand and hugged his fist at Concubine Hui: "Niangniang praised, the little girl is just a pariah, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, it is the mother who is kind, she can treat the little girl so kindly, the little girl is grateful." โ
Su Moliang's words didn't seem to be wrong, as if he was modest, but it was actually a rejection of Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui should have been angry at her for not knowing what to do, but she was given a benevolent name by her, which made her difficult to refute.
However, she has been in the palace for so many years, and she still has this determination, and she can't help but laugh at Su Moliang's words: "Hehe, Miss Su doesn't have to be presumptuous, she can go from the Southern Sui Kingdom to the Cangyuan Kingdom, and finally become a disciple of the Silent Annihilation Sect, which is not something that ordinary people can do." โ
When Su Moliang heard this, he was noncommittal, and bowed his head slightly, looking modest.
The meaning of this Hui Guifei is so obvious, if she says more, it will be really difficult to refuse her kindness.
So she simply chose to remain silent.
Seeing Su Moliang's silence, the queen felt comfortable, and couldn't help but change the topic aloud.
"Today's emperor's birthday should have been a happy day, but the emperor has just recovered from a serious illness, but he has to worry about the flood disaster west of Cangyuan Kingdom. The palace thought that on the birthday of previous years, it was either singing and dancing, or chanting poems against it, and the emperor was tired of seeing it, so this time the palace canceled those bells and whistles, and wanted to hear the views of everyone sitting there on the flood disaster. Of course, if anyone says it well and reasonably, the emperor and the palace will be greatly rewarded. โ
Hearing the queen's words, everyone whispered.
This flood disaster is like a tumor, it has invaded the Cangyuan Kingdom for many years, and even the ministers in the court are helpless, but why did the queen suddenly mention the flood on such an occasion?
Some people didn't understand the queen's intentions, but Su Moliang saw it thoroughly.
Obviously, the queen and Concubine Hui wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the palace banquet to choose an excellent daughter-in-law who could help her son Kuang Fu Sheji.
That's why I came up with a particularly thorny issue related to the country's social security to test everyone.
The people who were in a mess below didn't really understand it at first, but now after thinking about it carefully, they all have some understanding.
It's just that this flood disaster even gave the ministers in the court a headache, how could the women present come up with a wonderful solution.
However, before Su Moliang could sigh, someone volunteered to stand up.
This person is the daughter of the East City Lord, Fu Lanya!
She is dressed in a white dress today, elegant and noble, with a pair of smart big eyes full of smiles on her fair and handsome face.
I saw her gently blessing the queen, and her gentle voice slowly spread: "Back to Niangniang, the little girl has some humble opinions about the flood disaster, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." โ
Although Fu Lanya is the daughter of the city lord, the four major cities are located in a remote area after all, and they are not as prosperous as the imperial capital, and the four major cities have to pay tribute to the royal family every year, which is really embarrassing.
Therefore, Fu Lanya tried her best to climb the dragon and the phoenix and change her situation and fate.
This is her best chance to perform, so naturally she can't miss it.
Seeing that Fu Lanya was confident, the queen nodded with satisfaction: "You don't have to be formal, just speak freely." โ
Fu Lanya got the queen's affirmation, and then slowly spoke: "It is said that the Lancang River west of Cangyuan Kingdom is constantly flooding, not only drowning crops but also drowning the people nearby, making the people miserable and miserable. The little girl once thought that if this river was filled with stones, first, it would prevent the flood, second, the people would live and work in peace and contentment, and third, the emperor would not have to allocate a large amount of treasury every year to help the refugees near the Lancang River, soโโ"
Fu Lanya thought that she had come up with an excellent idea, her face was full of pride, waiting for the queen to praise her, but she didn't expect that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by an angry roar from the emperor.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped his palm on the handle of the dragon chair, making a bang, accompanied by a loud roar, which immediately frightened everyone.
"Hmph, this Lancang River is an important source of supply for our Cangyuan Kingdom, if it is sealed, what do you let the people drink, what to eat, what to use? Besides, the Lancang River originates from the northernmost part of Cangyuan Country and flows all the way to the west. If it is really as you said, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed to fill the river, then it will really cost the people and money, and the people will not have a good life!" The emperor's angry reprimand shocked Fu Lanya's face turned white, and she staggered back to her seat.
She heard that it was a solution to the flood, so she only thought of ways to control the flood, where did the emperor think so thoroughly, so thoroughly, and so far-reachingly.
I didn't expect that I would anger the emperor.
At this moment, Fu Lanya was scolded speechless, losing face, and suddenly aroused everyone's ridicule.
"Hehe, Fu Lanya, you don't look at what your identity is, you dare to speak out, it's really a shame for the Silent Annihilation Sect!" Huang Manxi couldn't get used to someone competing with her for the position of imperial concubine, and now when she saw Fu Lanya deflated, she sneered on the spot and fell into the ground.
