Because of the chaos outside the Yanxi Palace, the second lady was disgraced. After entering the Yanxi Palace, she just quickly found a seat and sat down. When she saw the familiar lady from the aristocratic family, she just nodded and said hello, without saying anything more.

Say something else.

Linghu Zilu followed the second lady in a very good mood. As long as she followed the instructions of her elder brother after the dinner, from now on, the position of Lin Donghe's side concubine must belong to her. She would not believe it if she took her time in the future.

She made Hu Zilu unable to become a concubine!

Linghu Pingxue followed the second lady with a forced smile. Not far away, she saw Song Xiaoyou and Ding Juming whispering with a group of aristocratic daughters. From time to time, she looked towards her. Linghu Pingxue didn't need to guess that Song Xiaoyou knew

She was talking to Ding Juming about what happened to her just now.

These two people have always been under her spotlight. Now that they have caught her sore leg, they will naturally be very proud. It's just that she, Linghu Pingxue, has worked hard to get here. How can she be dismissed just like that?

Continue the suppression? There can only be one person who will shock everyone today, and it can only be her, Linghu Pingxue!

Thinking of this, Linghu Pingxue calmly walked to his seat. He was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, he gently raised his hands and pretended to hold the chair. The next moment, he almost pushed the chair away by mistake and let out a low voice.

, leaning forward, successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"Pingxue, what's wrong?" Seeing this, the second lady hurriedly stood up and helped Linghu Pingxue.

Linghu Pingxue smiled, her beautiful face concealed a hint of innocence and tenderness at this moment. Her eyebrows were lowered, she was indescribably beautiful and elegant, and she was even more frail and moving that I felt pity for.

"It's okay, mother." Linghu Pingxue smiled tenderly. If a delicate flower bloomed under the warm afternoon sun, its whole body was covered with warm and dazzling light, making people unable to look away for a moment.

Needless to say, Linghu Pingxue is elegant and beautiful, and she also knows how to make the most of her strengths. As a result, everyone who was originally talking about her behind her back looked jealous or envious.

Looking over here, the young men from aristocratic families stared straight in the eyes and were reluctant to look away.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Linghu Pingxue smiled shyly, with an innocent and weak expression, and slowly sat down. Seeing this, the second lady knew it well. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, even if the prince had neglected Pingxue today, he would

How? It’s not certain who will be the future emperor of this dynasty!

Pingxue can control the scene anytime and anywhere! No less than Lin Jian! Besides, is there any cat in the world who doesn't steal sex? Don't look at Lin Jian's ruthlessness now. In the future, when he gets a taste of beauty, let him

She won't even let go! What's more, there is a queen there to put pressure on Lin Jian! She doesn't believe that Lin Jian disagrees?!

Linghu Zilu saw the smile her mother showed towards her sister at this moment, and the jealousy in her heart was on the verge of breaking out. Ever since she was a child, both her grandmother and mother have always been partial to her sister. The best is always for her, even

The same is true for marriage matters. What is placed in front of her sister is for her to pick and choose, but what comes to her will always be what her sister does not want!

Lin Jian's attitude towards her sister now makes Linghu Zilu very happy! Why do all the men in the world surround her, Linghu Pingxue? Why can she only pick up what Linghu Pingxue has left!

Tonight, Linghu Zilu passed this test at the concubine selection banquet. From now on, she no longer has to look at the faces of the old lady and others! She is different from Linghu Pingxue, Linghu Pingxue

Xue has a choice. In front of her Linghu Zilu, at this moment, Lin Donghe is the only path she can take!

——

Man Yue has now sat down with Linghu Quan.

The Queen Mother, the Empress and the concubines have not arrived yet, nor have Lin Jian, Lin Dongyao or the other princes. Linghu Quan saw Linghu Jinglie sitting obediently next to Man Yue, and did not feel any hostility or rejection towards Man Yue, his sister.

He nodded and asked Man Yue with a smile,

"Girl, do you know what is included in today's concubine selection banquet?"

"——I don't know." Man Yue hesitated and shook her head.

She remembered that in her previous life, there was no such concubine selection banquet. Since her rebirth, although the general environment and characters have not changed, there have been subtle changes in some details. Perhaps it is these subtle changes that gave

Her chances and opportunities to rewrite history.

In the last life, because she was the eldest daughter of the Hou family, she was the first to get married. After she married Lin Donghe, Linghu Pingxue was reluctant to marry as the crown princess. Later, the queen personally came to urge her, and ordered

However, Hu Pingxue remained unmoved. Later, when the prince was deposed, Linghu Pingxue had an excuse not to get married.

At that time, the full moon had always been that Linghu Pingxue had not found the person he liked. Now it seems that it is just because after the prince was deposed, Lin Donghe became more and more powerful and had the potential to replace Lin Dongyao's most favored position in the emperor's mind.

Seeing that Lin Donghe, who they had used as a substitute, was expected to replace the crown prince and ascend the throne as emperor, the old lady was naturally unwilling to let the queen's position be occupied by Man Yue, so she deliberately waited for ten years for Linghu Pingxue to take the throne.

In this life, many things happened a year earlier than in the previous life. As for the concubine selection banquet, it is also related to the rapid changes in the recent situation. The Queen Mother wanted to see the loyalty and bias of everyone in the court towards the court, and she had tried it several times before.

, and today's concubine selection banquet can be regarded as the last chance given by the Queen Mother to some courtiers. Even those who are vague and do not want to show their determination have to express and act at today's concubine selection banquet.

"Auntie, I'm just here to see the fun. It doesn't matter if I don't know what the concubine selection banquet is about." Man Yue smiled faintly, her clear eyes shining without any ripples.

Linghuquan smiled thoughtfully and continued, "Even if you don't know, you can't be unprepared."

"That's what my aunt said." There was something in Linghuquan's words, and Man Yue nodded and continued to listen to her.

"This concubine selection banquet is organized by the Queen Mother herself. Even the queen does not know many details. Only the queen mother knows it. This is to prevent the nepotism of the queen or other concubines from spreading. I have just learned about the concubine selection banquet.

."

Linghuquan paused when he said this.

The reason why she maintains a good relationship with the Queen Mother on the surface is because King Anping is dead. To the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Linghuquan no longer poses any threat. However, in the eyes of everyone in the government and the public as well as the common people, the Queen Mother and the

The emperor could not neglect Linghuquan. After all, King Anping had made great military exploits and saved the emperor's life. In addition, Linghuquan was fair and just. He had no party members in the court and kept himself clean. The Queen Mother was naturally happy.

As a good person, I am very close to Linghuquan.

"The Queen Mother knows my temperament. Even if you tell me about the concubine selection banquet, I will not tell anyone. Anyway, we are already here and you have no intention of participating. I told you to listen to it."

"Yes, aunt." Man Yue nodded without asking any further questions or doubts. At this moment, she would listen to whatever Linghu Quan said and there would be no mistake.

"Today's concubine selection banquet is divided into three rounds of competition. In the first round, all the ladies can play freely, and they can choose the same music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Each performs, and the top ten will be selected. In the second round, the Queen Mother sets the topic, and the ten daughters write at the same time.

For answers, take the top six. The last round is the most important. The princes ask questions, and the six daughters answer. Finally, the selection starts from the prince, followed by Lin Dongyao, Lin Donghe, and Lin Ran. But even if you are selected

The daughter of the emperor may not become a candidate for the concubine in the future, because there is still the emperor's hurdle to pass."

After Linghuquan finished speaking, Man Yue nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Ran was obviously older than Lin Jian and others, but the right to choose fell at the end. On the surface, it was an open concubine selection banquet, but she still couldn't escape the habit of worshiping the superior and suppressing the inferior.

There are more than fifty or more than thirty officials of the fourth rank or above in the court who have not yet left the cabinet. There are only ten people left in the first round of the competition. It seems that they have no special skills and they will be eliminated in the first round.

fate.

At this moment, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the door, then quickly stood up and knelt down to greet him.

Linghuquan was the only one present who had received the emperor's decree and was exempted from kneeling.

In the meantime, the Queen Mother slowly walked into the main hall, surrounded by the Queen, Lin Jian, Lin Dongyao and other princes. She was even more majestic and majestic in her dark yellow phoenix palace dress. Her carefully combed Feifeng Chaoyang bun was exquisite and luxurious.

The graceful face of the Queen Mother is made more noble and domineering.

Next to the Queen Mother is the Queen with a gentle smile on her face. The Queen is dressed in fiery red palace clothes, festive and dazzling, which is somewhat different from her usual gentle image.

On the other side of the Queen Mother, Lin Jian and Lin Dongyao were walking side by side. Lin Jian was dressed in a dark yellow royal palace dress, with purple blond hair tied up in a crown like dark green silk. Her handsome face was free and sunny, and her dark pupils were as warm as water. Her eyes fell exactly on them at the next moment.

On Man Yue's body, the pupils flickered in and out instantly, showing no emotion or anger.

Lin Dongyao, who was wearing a black gold slim-fitting brocade robe, had a cold expression, and Xiaoye's domineering aura was natural. His inky eyes were filled with endless darkness. If there was a bottomless cold pool, it felt like he would be sucked into a bottomless black hole if he looked into his eyes one more time.

He and Lin Jian were both cold and hot, but both had distinct personalities.

But deep down his distinctive character, he is also dark and cold.

This fact proves that the two are half-brothers.

Lin Dongyao is cold on the outside but ruthless on the inside, while Lin Jian is as warm on the outside as before, but dark and cold on the inside. One is cold on the outside and cold on the inside, and the other is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. They are equally unruly, dark and elusive.

Behind Lin Jian and Lin Dongyao were Lin Donghe and Lin Ran. Lin Donghe had a thin and thin figure on the side of his body. He looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. His face was delicate and his skin was fair. He looked soft and frail, like a
