Chapter 113: Sealing the Concubine
And next to Nangong Jie stood a eunuch, the eunuch was holding a brocade box in his hand, and in the brocade box was a thing shaped like a deer antler, which was the symbol of Faye Wong.
Then Nangong Jie gently picked up the antlers and slowly walked to the many girls in front of him who participated in the selection of concubines, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the fourth prince Nangong Jie.
Especially Qi Shuxian, looking at Nangong Jie's two eyes were shining, and her face was full of joy.
And Mu Ruoxue has a flat expression, her eyes have been staring elsewhere, she didn't even look at Nangong Jie, since the last time something happened in the manor, Mu Ruoxue's impression of Nangong Jie is not too bad has been bad to the bone, and Nangong Jie has always been out of sight, hiding if she can.
Nangong Jie took the antlers and slowly walked in the direction of Mu Ruoxue and Qi Shuxian, with a gentle and modest smile on the corner of his mouth, the whole person looked like a spring breeze, but only Mu Ruoxue knew that all this was fake, the real Nangong Jie was an extremely ghostly and disgusting person.
Qi Shuxian was very excited when she saw Nangong Jie walking towards her, and she was even more confident that she could become the fourth imperial concubine.
Qi Shuxian watched Nangong Jie walk towards her step by step, and for the first time felt that time passed so slowly, such a short journey, it seemed that she had been walking in her heart for a long time, just like she had been silently liking Nangong Jie for so many years.
Finally Nangong Jie walked in front of the two, Qi Shuxian looked at Nangong Jie with a smile on her face, her face was still a little shy, and she had already stretched out her hand to catch the antlers representing the four imperial concubines in Nangong Jie's hand.
But in the next second, Qi Shuxian was stunned in place, and the smile on her face froze, full of surprise!
Because Nangong Jie was standing in front of Mu Ruoxue next to her at this time, looking at Mu Ruoxue with a smile on her face, even her eyes were full of gentle smiles, not standing in front of her!
Looking at Nangong Jie facing Mu Ruoxue, Qi Shuxian only felt very piercing, and her heart was also very uncomfortable.
"Ruoxue, I have always been pleased with you, and I am so happy that you also came to participate in my concubine selection today." Nangong Jie looked at Mu Ruoxue with a happy face, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Since the last incident in the manor, his image in Mu Ruoxue has been damaged, and now he must marry her, and his father has also attached great importance to Mu Ruoxue during this time.
also intends to point Mu Ruoxue to Bai Zixu, she must not let Mu Ruoxue marry Bai Zixu and increase Bai Zixu's power! Then, Nangong Jie handed the antlers in his hand to Mu Ruoxue.
Mu Ruoxue looked at the antlers in front of her, but frowned, she didn't mean to take it at all, she just said: "The courtiers thank the four princes for their love, but the courtiers are only shallow in their studies, I am afraid that they can't afford the position of the four princesses, and ask the four princes to choose someone else." ”
Everyone almost exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, what is the situation? Everyone present wished that the four princes would choose themselves, but this Mu Ruoxue was too ignorant.
The Four Princes chose her to be their Fourth Imperial Concubine, which was already a great gift to her, and she actually rejected the Four Princes in front of so many people! Isn't this hitting the emperor and Concubine Rou on the spot, as well as the faces of the four princes!
And at this time, Concubine Rou's face was also very ugly, she had wanted to win over Mu Ruoxue and was destroyed by Qi Shuxian, she thought that Mu Ruoxue would not dare to refuse this kind of scene now, she didn't want her to say something like that just now!
Nangong Jie's face was a little stiff, he didn't expect that on such an occasion, Mu Ruoxue would actually refuse herself!
Among the emperor, Concubine Rou and Nangong Jie, only the emperor's face is still very calm, without any waves, no joy or anger, only those deep eyes, which are intriguing.
"Ruoxue, I really like you, since you came to my concubine selection ceremony today, don't you also mean to marry me, why didn't Ruoxue agree?" Nangong Jie then said again, and the smile on his face returned to the one he had just now.
Mu Ruoxue just wanted to speak when she heard this, but was interrupted by Qi Shuxian.
I saw Qi Shuxian looking at Mu Ruoxue with an angry face, just now Nangong Jie gave the antlers to Mu Ruoxue, but she actually rejected Nangong Jie in front of so many people, which made Qi Shuxian even more angry!
"Brother Nangong, Mu Ruoxue didn't take you seriously at all, ignoring the royal face, for such a woman who doesn't understand etiquette, why should Brother Nangong be like this?" Qi Shuxian looked at Nangong Jie Dao.
"Shuxian, don't talk nonsense, Ruoxue can't blame her for accepting me, but I didn't do well enough to make Ruoxue tempt me." Nangong Jie looked at Mu Ruoxue and said slowly, looking like he was hurt by love.
"What! Brother Nangong, you are still speaking for him at this time! This woman doesn't deserve to be treated like this to her, and she doesn't deserve your love! Qi Shuxian was even more angry when she saw that Nangong Jie was still defending Mu Ruoxue, and said angrily.
Nangong Jie wanted to say something when he heard this, but he was stopped before he could say anything.
"Shut up!" The emperor looked at the three people in the field and said slowly.
The three of them didn't speak when they heard this, Mu Ruoxue glanced at Nangong Jie, her eyes calm.
"I just said that whoever the four princes choose, I will marry whoever I want, Mu Ruoxue is the daughter of the prime minister, she will be able to take the position of the fourth princess, you don't have to be so humble, I ask you again for Nangong Jie, Mu Ruoxue, are you willing to be the fourth princess?" The emperor looked at Mu Ruoxue Dao, his eyes were deep.
Mu Ruoxue frowned when she heard this, the emperor's words were all said to this point, although he was asking himself, but the emperor took great pains to get himself into the palace just to choose a concubine this time, so he had no room to disagree at all!
Then he smiled and said: "The courtiers thank the emperor for their appreciation, and they will definitely live up to the emperor's gift." ”
Then, he reached out and took the antlers in Nangong Jie's hand.
Nangong Jie and Concubine Rou were relieved when they saw this, and they were all smiling.
"Okay, then I will give Mu Ruoxue, the daughter of the prime minister, to the fourth prince as the princess today, and the marriage date will be set after I discuss with the prime minister." The emperor immediately said.
In this way, the matter of choosing a concubine for the four princes finally came to an end, and then the emperor left the imperial garden and took Concubine Rou and the four princes away.
At this time, there were only a few official ladies left.
"Mu Ruoxue! Don't be complacent, the position of the fourth princess will be mine sooner or later! Qi Shuxian looked at Mu Ruoxue unwillingly.
In fact, from the emperor's words just now, she also faintly heard what the emperor meant, the emperor intended to let Mu Ruoxue sit as the fourth imperial concubine, even if she was dissatisfied just now, she couldn't say anything.
"I'm waiting for you to get it, and I will definitely give it up when the time comes, I just hope you can hurry up, I'm not rare at all!" Mu Ruoxue said lightly.
Qi Shuxian's face was even more angry when she heard this, and she left directly with a flick of her sleeves.
Subsequently, Mu Ruoxue also left the Imperial Garden, but as soon as she walked out, she saw Bai Zixu, and saw Bai Zixu with a depressed face.
And Bai Zixu also happened to see Mu Ruoxue at this time, but his eyes were fixed on the antlers on Mu Ruoxue's hand, a trace of loss and sadness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart, but then immediately adjusted his emotions.
"Lord Bai, I heard that you are also choosing a concubine today, I wonder if you have chosen a beautiful woman?" Mu Ruoxue asked with a smile.
"Ruoxue is making fun of me again, I don't have the intention of starting a family now, and I can only deal with the emperor's arrangement for me." Bai Zixu smiled bitterly.
Then he glanced at the antlers on Mu Ruoxue's hand again, and said, "Ruoxue has Nangong Jie's antlers today, what are your plans?" ”
Mu Ruoxue was a little surprised when she heard this, if ordinary people saw the antlers in her hand, they would be congratulated, and only Bai Zixu would ask her what her plans were to get rid of this marriage.
Then he smiled and said, "How do you know that I still have plans?" ”
"Because I know Ruoxue, Ruoxue will definitely not marry someone like Nangong Jie, if there is anything you need help with, just tell me." Bai Zi said with a false smile, the whole person was still as gentle as ever.
"It's rare to have time today, so it's better to go to the Drunken Immortal Building." Mu Ruoxue said with a smile.
Bai Zixu was also full of smiles when he heard this, and made a gesture of invitation to Mu Ruoxue.
During the day, the Drunken Immortal Building was still very lively, Mu Ruoxue and Bai Zixu went directly to a box on the second floor, because they often came, so Xiao Si of the restaurant naturally knew them, and directly served them the things they usually ordered.
