Chapter 403: What if I Get Selected
took out the embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the wine flowing from his mouth, Jiang Shu subconsciously looked up at Zhu Changxun, who was in the top position in the east row opposite, but saw that he was also looking at himself, his eyebrows were moist, and he was smiling.
The other party even picked up the wine glass in front of her and raised it to her from afar, looking leisurely.
After hearing the news, many of the ladies in the table showed excitement on their faces, and took out a small mirror from their sleeves to tidy up their appearance, obviously prepared.
Empress Dowager Li looked around and observed everyone's reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and once again swept over the several imperial grandsons sitting in the front few seats of the east and west rows, and asked Zhu Xuanyu and Zhu Xuanrao beside her: "Look, who should be selected first?" ”
If you follow the ranking order, the first should be Chang Luo, but Chang Luo already has the crown princess, and there are a few talented people and servants, if he is asked to choose first, the other emperors and grandsons will choose the concubine instead, which seems to be a little inappropriate.
"Imperial grandmother, Ying'er is the first to choose!" Before Zhu Xuanyu and Zhu Xuanrao could speak, Zhu Changying, who was sitting in the third seat of the west row, immediately volunteered to stand up.
"You?" Empress Dowager Li glanced at the thirteen-year-old imperial grandson, and couldn't help but have a look of doubt in her eyes.
In fact, this banquet, in order to choose concubines for Chang Luo, Chang Xun, Chang Hao, and Chang Run, she didn't plan to let him come over, but this kid was not pestering to come to participate, she thought he wanted to come and have a good time, but she didn't expect him to be so amazing.
Almost all of the people present moved their eyes to him when this immature voice sounded, and the eyes of the young King Gui were all filled with amusement.
Zhu Changying didn't look at them, nodded solemnly at the Empress Dowager Li, and said in a childish voice: "Yes, Ying'er will be the first to choose." ”
After that, he raised his hand and pointed to the third-to-last seat in the east row opposite: "Ying'er elects her-"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the woman in the seat was wearing a neck-length jacket with garnet red shoulders and a white plum pattern embroidered on the hem, and a water-red pleated long skirt on the lower body, and a young face was very bright and lovely, and it turned out to be the third lady Xu Yunsheng, the richest man in Kyoto, who had just turned fifteen years old.
Although this Xu Yunsheng is from the family of Shangjia, it stands to reason that she is not qualified to participate in the flower banquet, but her mother-in-law is the daughter of Shen Shixing, who was the first assistant of the cabinet, the sister of Shen Yonghe, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the second brother is the son-in-law of Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the current cabinet, so she can be regarded as a noble status, so she was also invited by the Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li glanced over there, and felt that Xu Yunsheng looked handsome, cute, and very likable, and it didn't hurt to be two years older, but the youngest imperial grandson Chang Ying was only thirteen years old, and there were still several years before he could marry at the age of eighteen. ”
"No way!" Zhu Changying didn't think about it, she refused, pointed at Xu Yunsheng and said, "What if she is chosen by the imperial brother?" ”
Empress Dowager Li looked at his stubborn look, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, the imperial grandmother promises you that you will not let your imperial brother choose her, and keep her for you." ”
