The choice of concubines

The ministers have always been unwilling to be ignored by the new emperor, and they always want to take care of it, even if Jiang Mu clearly said that the queen is the only one in the harem, they still have a thief heart and do everything possible to stuff people in front of Jiang Mu.

Today, the king of a certain county entered the palace and brought his youngest daughter, who was only sixteen years old, to say goodbye to the queen.

However, Lan Shuang waited in her palace for a long time and didn't see anyone.

She was bored, so she went out to see if the legendary county lord was lost.

……

In the imperial garden, a girl in a pink skirt and white clothes stood among the flowers, holding a fan in her hand, with the most innocent smile on her face, and asked the maidservant beside her stiffly: "Didn't you say that Your Majesty would pass by this side?" How long has it been, why haven't you come yet? My face was stiff with laughter. ”

The maid looked around and whispered, "Won't the county lord take a rest first?" His Majesty and the county king are talking about things, I'm afraid they won't come over so soon. ”

"Snort, a waste of feelings."

The county lord straightened up, and the fan shook vigorously, shaking his steps.

Lan Shuang, who walked around the corner, happened to hear this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly gestured to the people behind her to keep them silent.

888 looked at her sneaky appearance and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing, host?" ”

"The days in the palace are too boring, and I finally broke in for a fun time, of course I want to watch the play."

888οΌšβ€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lan Shuang hid behind the rockery and quietly glanced at the county lord.

This county lord is only sixteen, she is a good age for a girl, her skin is white and beautiful, her body is petite, she looks pitiful, her apricot eyes are watery, and she looks the most likable.

Lan Shuang nodded: "It's pretty good." ”

No wonder the county king was so confident in bringing his daughter in.

The palace maid and eunuch who followed: "......"

Mother, this is the little goblin who came to rob Your Majesty with you, what are you so excited about? Aren't you worried at all?!

As it turned out, Lan Shuang was not worried at all, and she looked at the master and servant with interest.

The county lord raised his hand and gently held the tassel on his sideburns, chuckled, covered his face with a fan, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Your Majesty was extremely handsome and extraordinary, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Naturally, you can't fake it, I heard that Your Majesty was pretending to be a daughter at the beginning, if it looks ugly, I'm afraid I can't pretend to be able to, right?"

"Yes." The county lord's eyes showed a bit of yearning, "Then do you think he will like me?" Will you take me into the harem? If it doesn't work out this time, my father will take me back to get married, and the border is full of rough men, all of them are black, and they don't pay attention to hygiene, so I don't want to marry. ”

The maid's face changed, and she hurriedly said: "The county lord is cautious!" ”

The county lord snorted, turned around and walked to the rockery, and said: "I heard that Your Majesty let out the words, the queen is the only one in the harem, I don't know how stunning this queen is, she can make the king of a country say such things in public, To be honest, I am quite envious of her, if I have a fate to see her today, I want to ask her for advice, how to capture a man's heart." ”

Handmaid: "......"

"The county lord...... If you really enter the palace, you and the queen are rivals in love, do you think she will tell you this? ”

The county lord was stunned for a moment, and blinked his eyes blankly, "It's the same...... Actually, I don't really want to enter the palace, I just want to find a backer and stay in Kyoto so that I don't have to go back. ”

She said distressedly: "My father wants to take me to entrap his subordinates, he can't look down on ordinary Kyoto nobles, and he will definitely not agree to marry me, only when he says that he wants to enter the palace, he will take me out, this is my only chance." ”

The maidservant wanted to persuade a few words, but she didn't know what to say, so she finally shut up.

However, Lan Shuang understood after hearing this, this little county lord was not bad, but he wanted to get rid of his father's control by entering the palace as a concubine, and it was understandable that she could show her a clear way.

After having an idea, she straightened up and walked out, and said with a smile: "The palace thought that the county lord was lost in the palace, so he came out to look for it, but I didn't expect to see the county lord here." ”

The county lord was startled, and hurriedly turned around, and saw Lan Shuang wearing a light blue palace dress, standing in the sun, as bright as water, without complicated jewelry embellishments, and only a few hostas were inserted on her head at will, but there was a kind of natural beauty of hibiscus out of the water.

The beauty is like an orchid that grows in the hollow valley.

The county lord was stunned for a while, and his eyes lit up.

"Who are you? It's beautiful! ”

The palace people behind Lan Shuang were hostile to her at first, but when they saw her ignorant appearance, they couldn't help but want to laugh.

Lan Shuangwaner: "I am the queen mother in your mouth." ”

The maid who followed the county lord was startled, and hurriedly pulled the county lord by the hand, and took the lead in kneeling down and said: "The slave doesn't know that the queen mother has arrived, please forgive the queen mother!" ”

The county lord also reacted, knelt down and saluted and did not forget to secretly look at Lan Shuang again, Lan Shuang felt funny, reached out to pull her, but unexpectedly she grabbed her hand, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is really stunning, such a person, no wonder Your Majesty is favored, if I am Your Majesty, I can't see enough of each other day and night." ”

This is more or less presumptuous, but when she says it, she has a bit of innocence that does not understand the world, and it sounds a little cute.

"Don't you want to be a mother in the palace?" Lanshuang teased her.

The county lord was silent for a moment, and said: "The courtier doesn't want to be a mother, no matter how nice she says, she is just a concubine, but the courtier has no other choice, and the mother has heard it, the courtier doesn't want to go back to get married, and she doesn't want to be a tool." ”

"It's not like there's no other way."

Lan Shuang held her hand and led her into the octagonal pavilion on the side, "If you just want to get rid of your father, this is easy to do, this palace is in charge, leave you in Kyoto for a period of time, during this time, you can take a good look at the boy of the right age, if the two are happy, this palace will let His Majesty give you a marriage, even if your father is dissatisfied, he can't refuse." ”

The county lord was happy: "Really? ”

"Of course."

Lan Shuang held her hand and squeezed it, and said earnestly: "This world is already harsh on women, if the marriage is sloppy, it will delay you for a lifetime." ”

The county lord was slightly moved, "Niangniang...... You're so nice. ”

"I don't have anything good, firstly, I am a woman and this palace does not want you to enter the fire pit, and secondly, if you enter the palace, won't it add to the blockage of this palace?"

She said so frankly that the county lord was stunned for a moment, and then laughed crisply, "The queen is so interesting, the courtiers like you very much." ”

The two were talking and laughing, when a touch of yellow floated over not far away.

Under the umbrella, Jiang Mu walked in front, and the king of the county took half a step back and followed on the right side, and said distressedly: "The minister's daughter has been stubborn since she was a child, this time she admires Your Majesty, and she wants to enter the palace, but Your Majesty has already released her words, saying that there is only one queen, and the minister can't embarrass His Majesty, His Majesty will take a look, if it works, he will keep it for the queen to relieve her boredom, if not, the minister will take her away and never return to Beijing." ”

Jiang Mu's face sank, and he was about to refuse, when he heard a burst of laughter not far away.

The king of the county also heard it, and when he followed, he saw his youngest daughter and a woman in blue sitting together and joking.

He paused, and immediately guessed the identity of that person, his eyes lit up, okay, this daughter was not raised in vain, and she had a good relationship with the queen in such a while, so it seems that it will not be a problem for her to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the queen mother and the minister's youngest daughter have a good conversation."

The waist of the king of the county is a little stiffer.

Jiang Mu didn't speak, and walked straight over.

Lan Shuang turned her head when she heard the voice, and when she saw Jiang Mu coming, she got up and smiled: "Why did Your Majesty come over?" Done talking? ”

Jiang Mu nodded, and the eyebrows that were cold just now suddenly softened, "I'm done talking, I want to come and see you." ”

He walked over and took Lan Shuang's hand, and then looked at the county lord.

The county lord was gossiping at them, and Leng Buding was stared at by Jiang Mu, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "The courtiers have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe." ”

Jiang Mu said coldly: "No courtesy." ”

"What are you talking about? Have such a good chat? ”

Jiang Mu pulled Lan Shuang to sit down, completely ignoring the county king behind him.

The county lord gave the county lord a little embarrassed, and the county lord looked at the sky and the earth and the leaves to see the insects, but he didn't look at him, which made him angry enough.

Lan Shuang glanced at him with a smile, and said to Jiang Mu: "I feel quite close to the county lord, and I want to keep her in Beijing for a while longer, I don't know what the county king wants?" ”

The king of the county thought that she wanted to open a harem for His Majesty, and immediately happily agreed: "It is her blessing to be favored by the queen's mother." He turned to look at his daughter: "Why don't you hurry up and thank you?" ”

The county lord thanked him happily and exchanged a tacit look with Lan Shuang.

The king of the county was also very happy, and when he left Beijing, he ate a few more bowls of rice, went back overnight to tell his family the good news, and then rebuilt the palace and waited for the order.

But a month passed, two months passed, and the gates of the palace were covered with cobwebs, and the decree did not come.

When the king of the county couldn't help but want to go to Beijing to take a look, the holy decree finally came, but instead of making their youngest daughter a concubine, it gave her and Xu Yunzhou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a marriage.

The king's eyes were black, and he almost fainted.

After a trip to Beijing, the abacus fell through, not to mention, my daughter also beat the dog with meat buns, who can not be angry?

However, no matter how angry you are, you can't help it, you can only prepare a dowry, and it is not a loss to marry Your Majesty's henchmen.

Later, Jiang Mu placed a row of guillotines at the gate of the palace, and if he wanted to send his daughter beauty into the palace, he first saw if his head could resist a few knives, and if he couldn't bear it, he would die, but if he wanted the queen to marry him, he could enter alive.

Seeing that Jiang Mu was not joking, the ministers immediately stopped thinking about giving it away and didn't dare to mention it again.

Lanshuang, win.
