The concubine selection notes arranged by Concubine Yi touched many people's minds.
Daughters who want to enter the palace and become concubines secretly hope that they can be the lucky ones.
Among them, Chu Xuanji is more confident than the others because You Kouyi will help her.
As for You Kouyi, who wooed Chu Xuanji and wanted to take the opportunity to turn things around, her thoughts became more cautious and deeper.
She would not allow herself to become someone who could only look up to others because of her previous mistakes. To be precise, she did not want to be someone who could not hold her head high in front of Ximen Yourong!
However, You Kouyi's inner anger and unwillingness did not affect Ximen Yourong. Ximen Yourong, who didn't care about what she was thinking, naturally didn't know that her unknown plan was about to start again.
At this time, it was indeed impossible for Ximen Yourong to think about You Kouyi, because she was busy reading the poems and songs of those rich ladies.
And she didn't just look at it casually, she looked at it very seriously, so seriously that Dongling Yuanhao, who came to Lengyue Palace as a "guest" again, couldn't help but asked:
"Sister-in-law, are you tired? Are you really planning to comment on them one by one?"
"A person's character can best be reflected in his poetry and lyrics. Since you have to choose a concubine for Your Majesty, you must choose something good."
Although Ximen Yourong replied to Dongling Yuanhao's words, she did not stop looking at the papers written with poems. Her calm and gentle face made Dongling Yuanhao ask in disbelief:
"Are you really planning to choose a concubine for your royal brother?"
"There are not enough concubines in the harem, it's time to add new ones!" Ximen Yourong's tone was calm, making people neither angry nor happy.
Dongling Yuanhao originally thought that Ximen Yourong was really so calm and indifferent, but when he picked up a poem that Ximen Yourong had annotated and took a look at it, he found that Ximen Yourong was not as peaceful as he imagined.
Because the more pertinent she was in praising her daughters' works, the more unstable her writing became. The unstable writing proved that her heart was also unstable. In other words, she did not want to choose a concubine for Dongling Yuanyong at all.
Dongling Yuanhao glanced at Ximen Yourong, who was always serious and serious. He smiled faintly, then picked up the booklet that was placed with the pile of poems and opened it to read. As a result, he laughed out loud in a funny way.
Ximen Yourong was attracted by his laughter. She finally looked up at Dongling Yuanhao and asked:
"Is there anything funny written in the booklet?"
It was given to her by Concubine Yi, and she didn't even have time to read what was written inside.
"What's written on it is not funny. What's funny is that my mother-in-law is really serious and amazing in this scene."
"...?" Ximen Yourong asked silently!
"Sister-in-law of the Emperor, it seems that if you don't choose some concubines for the Emperor, you will offend our mother-in-law."
"I'm not..."
"Your Majesty is here!"
An announcement interrupted Ximen Yourong, and she stood up to prepare to greet Dongling Yuanyong, when his figure appeared.
Dongling Yuanyong looks more eye-catching today than before. Because the wounds on his arms tended to ooze blood some time ago, he always wears dark dragon robes to avoid people's eyes and ears.
Today he changed into a light white dragon robe with a golden dragon embroidered on it, so he looked noble and dazzling.
Unfortunately, Ximen Yourong was not in the mood to appreciate his handsomeness at this time, so she bowed to him lukewarmly.
"What are you doing?"
Dongling Yuanyong smiled and held her hand and led her to sit back on the low couch together, but before Ximen Yourong could respond to him, Dongling Yuanhao said happily:
"My sister-in-law is busy choosing a concubine for you. She has been choosing a concubine for several hours. Not to mention how careful she is in choosing...look at this." Dongling Yuanhao picked up a poem that Ximen Yourong had annotated: "
This is a poem written by the daughter of a minister. It looks good. The emperor’s sister-in-law’s comments are: A beautiful heart is embroidered in the belly, and a jade is cherished. It is refreshing... Tsk tsk, emperor’s sister-in-law, how much do you have a crush on the daughter of the minister? I can’t see you.
I’m going to praise you to heaven!”
In fact, Dongling Yuanhao didn't study the content of the poem at all. He was interested in Ximen Yourong's annotations. He really wanted to know what interesting things would happen next.
Unfortunately, Dongling Yuanyong glanced at him and drove him away:
"Why don't you leave yet?"
This guy loves to go to Lengyue Palace as soon as he returns to the palace, and refuses to leave even if he doesn't even have a meal. The key is that Ximen Yourong is always patient enough to let him eat and greet him.
Other times, forget it, but now he just wants to be alone with Ximen Yourong.
Therefore, he did not want Dongling Yuanhao to disturb their alone time.
Of course Dongling Yuanhao knew that the eyes glaring at him across from him were not friendly at all, but he was not very afraid. He still sat motionless with a smile and said in a particularly "careful" way:
"Brother Imperial, choosing a concubine for you is a big deal. You must know that I know the powerful and powerful girls in the imperial city better than you. If nothing else, just these six ready-made people, if Brother Imperial falls in love with any of them, I will
I can still give you some advice, lest you only know one and not the other, and wouldn’t it be terrible if you get into trouble if you choose?”
"So, you are very familiar with all six of them?" Dongling Yuanyong smiled slightly and winked.
"Familiar, of course familiar! For example, Xi Yao'er, the daughter of the Shang Shu family, is eighteen years old, with excellent appearance and gentle temperament... and Chu Xuanji from the General's Mansion, who is seventeen years old. Although he comes from a family of military generals,
She is proficient in all kinds of poetry, lyrics, and poetry, not to mention her singing and dancing skills. The most important thing is that her appearance is also the best choice..."
Dongling Yuanhao told the merits of the six daughters chosen by Princess Yi one by one. Those who didn't know it thought he was really familiar with those daughters.
In fact, he was just "endorsing", because the booklet he just read actually described the six daughters' birth dates and proficient talents, and even their character and appearance were described clearly, so he could
All the treasures were told.
His eloquence also made Dongling Yuanyong smile meaningfully. He looked at Dongling Yuanhao and asked with seriousness:
"Listening to what you said, it seems that the mother-in-law really put her heart into it and the people she chose were impeccable!"
"So, brother, do you have a crush on me?" No, does his brother really want to have a concubine?
"What about you, do you have a crush on anyone?"
"Me?" Dongling Yuanhao curled up his lips: "Brother Emperor, you can figure it out yourself!"
Tsk tsk, his imperial brother has changed. The queen and the concubine have only been married to the palace for a few days, and they are rushing to take the concubine. It is really careless and not an emperor!
"Then how many of them do you like? Or do you like them all?"
"I can't make the decision. Besides, my sister-in-law is still here. It's up to her to decide."
In front of his queen, he wanted to put six daughters in the harem. It seemed that his brother's appetite was not only inappropriate, it was simply too much!
Dongling Yuanyong looked at Ximen Yourong, raised his eyebrows and said with a hidden smile:
"Rong'er, it seems that Yuan Hao wants you to make the decision, why don't you work hard and help him take care of it!"
"...?"
Ximen Yourong was stunned and silent. Why did it sound to her like he wanted to choose the princess for Dongling Yuanhao instead of himself.
Dongling Yuanyong saw her doubts. He smiled evilly and did not explain. He just looked at Dongling Yuanhao, who was also a little unable to react, and said:
"Yuan Hao, whoever you like most among the six of them will be your main concubine, how about that?"
"No...not at all, and what does this have to do with me? I don't like anyone, and I don't choose anyone..."
Now Dongling Yuanhao probably understood and figured it out, and he felt that he was in trouble!
"How come you don't like anyone? Didn't you just talk so eloquently about how those six daughters are as beautiful as flowers, talented, knowledgeable and courteous...especially the daughter of the Chu family, named Chu...what is Chu...
?" Dongling Yuanyong looked at Ximen Yourong and asked. He really didn't remember the maiden name of the daughter of the Chu family.
"Chu Xuanji!" Ximen Yourong replied quietly to him.
"Yes, Chu Xuanji, Yuan Hao praised this daughter the most sincerely. I think I will choose the daughter of the General's Mansion to be betrothed to Yuan Hao as the concubine... As for the other five, although they are also from high-ranking families.
My precious daughters, but letting them marry Yuan Hao as concubines will not insult their status. After all, Yuan Hao is also my most beloved and valued imperial brother, and wealth and wealth are indispensable to them."
Dongling Yuanyong said, looking at Dongling Yuanhao who was so tense that his throat was so stuck that he couldn't spit out a word, and continued to smile coldly:
"Yuan Hao, I will help you marry a total of six concubines and concubines at once. Do you think the number is enough? If not...!"
"Brother Emperor, you are too mean. That is the woman prepared for you by your mother and concubine. How can you leave the burden to me?"
Dongling Yuanhao roared out his rejection like an awkward child with a roar through his choked throat.
"It is precisely because of my mother's wishes that I give you the best!"
"I don't want it. I don't want anyone else. They are all for you to be your concubine, Brother Emperor. They have nothing to do with me. Brother Emperor, you can take care of it yourself. Don't even think about pushing me out to be your backer."
I don’t know whether he was angry or anxious. After Dongling Yuanhao yelled, his face turned red and wrinkled together. He looked cute and funny like that!
Dongling Yuanyong secretly felt funny, but deliberately squinted his eyes coldly and said:
"How shameless. All of them are daughters of the pillars of the imperial family, and they are also the people that the mother and concubine likes. Which of them is not worthy of being your princess, so that you are so disdainful?"
"Yes, yes, they are all noble ladies chosen by chance, so it's not that they don't deserve me, it's that I don't deserve them. The one who deserves them in the world should be the emperor's brother. Only the emperor's brother has that majestic appearance.
Sitting and enjoying the beauty of the world, not to mention the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards...!"
"Do you want me to order and prepare six sedan chairs to help you bring in your concubine right now?" Dongling Yuanyong glanced at the careless man and warned him coldly.
"I don't want to!" Those who know the current affairs are heroes!
"Then shut up!"
"oh!"
Dongling Yuanhao shut up obediently, but he found that there was still something wrong with the way Dongling Yuanyong looked at him.
"Are you going to stay the night?"
"If you don't stay overnight, just have a meal..."
Before the last word "good" came out of his mouth, Dongling Yuanhao understood a meaning from the cold light in his eyes, that is, if he didn't disappear, he would really get into trouble!
So, silently swallowing a mouthful of aggrieved saliva, Dongling Yuanhao silently disappeared automatically, so as not to disturb his royal brother's "household affairs"!
