Chapter 176, the prince chooses a concubine

Three days later, the temple was leveled.

Each young lady is led by their respective mothers and even grandmothers, and enters the hall in order according to the height of the family lineage, and the high sitting in the hall is the noble concubine Yu and the noble concubine Yue, and there are Xiang concubines, Rong concubines, and Chen Shuyuan on both sides to sit together.

That's right, Yue Wangshu saw that the concubines were also idle all day long and had nothing to do, so it was better to take this opportunity to hold a palace banquet, invite the wives and daughters of various families to enter the palace, and in the name of the banquet, choose to see the truth of the princess.

She is neither the queen nor the biological mother of the second prince, how can she just look at it casually in her own palace? Therefore, he specially invited the noble concubine to sit in town.

The eunuch Li Yue read at the top of his throat: "The British Duchess Wei and the second daughter of the prince are here!" ”

An old man with gray sideburns was supported by a young girl and stepped forward, and his ancestors and grandchildren saluted and paid homage on the futon.

More than 20 ladies, it is like this that the family is introduced into the palace, saluting, getting up, and then the concubine asks the age and preferences of the ladies, and then sits down at the table.

Other ladies are accompanied by elders, even if they don't have a mother, they also have grandmothers or aunts. Only when he arrived at the Marquis of Qingning, only Meng Shu entered the hall and stepped forward to worship, "The courtiers see the noble concubine Niangniang, see the noble concubine Niangniang!" ”

is polite and graceful, even if there is no gaffe on such a big occasion.

Yue Wangshu couldn't help but wonder for a while, she knew that Meng Shu didn't have a mother, but ...... You can also ask an elder of the same clan to accompany you?

The concubine called Ping, and also asked suspiciously: "Why, there is no elder to accompany you to the palace for the banquet?" ”

Meng Shu raised her little face and showed a slightly gloomy look: "The courtier's mother died early. ”

The concubine's face was slightly unhappy: "This mourner naturally knows." "—If you don't have a mother, don't you even have an aunt?

At this time, Concubine Xiang hurriedly got up and approached, and whispered: "Guifei Niangniang, this Qingninghou seems to have some discord with his brothers, so ...... I pity this girl. ”

The concubine thought that this little Meng was Queen Meng's niece, so she waved her hand: "That's it, let's go and sit down." ”

Yue Wangshu also heard the truth, and couldn't help but secretly say, how did this Qingning Marquis do it? At this time, so many fraternal people, are they not harmonious? At this time, why do you have to find a life-saving elder for your daughter to make up the number, right?

Could it be that Yan Laoliu's suspicion is correct? This Qingninghou is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp??

Forget it, she deliberately included Meng Shu in the list of entering the palace for the banquet this time, and she didn't want to embarrass Queen Meng's maiden niece.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is to choose a concubine for the second prince, and there are unmarried girls of appropriate age in the Meng family.

After a while, the ladies and ladies of the major families had already taken their own seats, but the ladies of other families had elders by their side, but Meng Shu was alone.

After everyone sat down, the first dance of the Workshop Division was officially presented.

Appreciate the dance, but also appreciate the demeanor of each lady.

Many nobles above have quietly begun to whisper their comments.

Concubine Rong smiled and said: "The nine girls of the Yu family are beautiful and beautiful, if I have a son, I will definitely ask to be my daughter-in-law!" ”

The noble concubine smiled and said: "Concubine Rong is more and more fond of laughing, but I look at your grandmother's great-granddaughter as a first-class beauty." ”

When it comes to Qingninghou, Concubine Rong inevitably thinks of some unpleasant things, but she will not make trouble for her juniors.

What the noble concubine said is the eldest daughter of Yao Chongjun, the son of the Marquis of Qingning, and she is indeed a beautiful girl, so this beautiful girl should call Yao Manzhi her aunt.

Tsk, the Yao family's genes are really good! Yue Wangshu took a sip of tea, enjoyed the beautiful singing and dancing, and enjoyed the ladies of various families, which was really a feast for the eyes.

Although Meng Shu is also very good, there are always more beautiful people than beauty. All the ladies are generous, humble and polite, and they go to the palace for banquets, and there are no people who are frightened by the stage. - After all, they are all girls educated by the family, and the etiquette is not bad.

Therefore, at this moment, she actually compared Miss Meng to life.

Even Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but secretly take a look at the noble daughter of this national family and the little lady of the Hou Mansion, and she was also dazzled.

Yue Wangshu smiled and whispered: "The noble concubine is well-informed, you see, there are so many ladies, which one is the best?" ”

Although the concubine also hoped that her girl would be selected, she couldn't talk nonsense with her eyes open, so she had to say: "Since that little girl of the Yao family looks the most outstanding." ”

Concubine Rong hurriedly said: "Where can I only look at my complexion?" The prince married a wife and was elected virtuous. ”

The concubine suddenly thought of one thing, "The mourning family remembers, the concubine privately summoned the little lady of the Meng family a while ago?" But what does the emperor mean? ”

Yue Wangshu had no choice but to nod his head and say "yes".

The concubine glanced at the lonely little lady of the Meng family, and couldn't help but shake her head, "It's really not enough to stand out." ”

Meng Shu, who was sitting at the bottom, shook her head after seeing the concubine after taking a few glances at herself, and her originally calm mind couldn't help but be a little shocked for a moment. But she could only try to comfort herself, the concubine was just the emperor's aunt, not the queen mother, and it was not her turn to make a decision on the marriage of the second prince.

Yue Wangshu hurriedly said: "The rules and etiquette are very good, and I heard that she is also a smart girl." ”

The noble concubine still shook her head, "That's it, go back to the mourning family and tell the emperor in person." Cheng Zhen is a prince anyway, and the marriage can't be so settled. It's a big deal not to look back, just give the Meng family a good marriage. ”

Yue Wang said comfortably, the matter of marrying the Meng family was already yellow. However, she didn't need to say it clearly, and the marriage of the second prince would be discussed with the emperor. The concubine has always regarded the princes and princesses in the palace as if they were their own grandchildren, so naturally she wanted to choose the best girl for the second prince.

Yue Wangshu smiled again and looked at Chen Shuyuan, who was already a little dizzy: "Shuyuan, look, which girl is good?" ”

Chen Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It's all good!" All good! ——Why does it seem that this Meng girl has been eliminated, listening to the tone of the concubine, she wants to choose a better one, Chen Shuyuan naturally has no objection.

Chen Shuyuan has lived at this age, where have I seen so many ladies? I thought that my son could marry the niece of the former queen, which was already the best choice, but I didn't think that there were so many princes and nobles to choose from! For a while, it was inevitable that I was a little dizzy.

"It's just that today is too grand...... "The prince chooses a concubine, such a battle really flatters Chen Shuyuan."

Yue Wangshu smiled and said: "Anyway, everyone is idle, so I called a staff officer together, just to enjoy the song and dance, and save the scene from embarrassment." It is said that Concubine Xiang arranged it well. ”

Chen Shuyuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, thank you Concubine Xiang for your trouble." ”

Concubine Xiang smiled and said: "Our emperor has only three princes, so naturally we have to worry a little more." When the four princes grow up, it will be more grand. ”

Yue Wangshu smiled and said, "Then I'll wait!" ”

Choosing a beauty is a pleasing thing to the eye, but Xiao Adi is only a few years old.

But when I think about it, the ancients got married early, and at this time, they slipped away from the palm of their hands without paying attention.
