I originally thought that Emperor Xiao made General Qiu the king with the intention of marrying him to Princess Lorna, but I didn’t expect that Emperor Xiao would accept Princess Lorna as his concubine. Since ancient times, emperors have been passionate, and they want to take possession of beautiful women when they see them.
Yes. Besides, An Xuanyi has always been cunning and cunning. He gave his imperial sister to a man who could be her father. I don’t know what his intentions were, but Emperor Xiao went along with his wishes.
In a moment of anger, Xiao Yi wanted to rush over and kill the source of all evil. Why did his father want Princess Rona as his concubine, make her the head of the West Palace, and give her the Sunset Palace? Then An Xuan would also be happy.
What's the intention? He should pay close attention to An Luona's movements. As long as there are some clues, don't blame him for being ruthless. Xiao Yi Leng's handsome face was calm, and the hands hidden a few steps away were tightly clenched into fists.
Lan Duoduo was also as surprised as Xiao Yi. She originally thought that Princess Lorna would be a princess or a general's wife if she came to marry. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a noble concubine. She felt strange and sad for Princess Lorna. She knew that Princess Lorna was
Extremely unwilling, she saw Princess Lorna's confusion for a moment when An Xuanyi said that he would give her to Emperor Xiao.
Lan Duoduo lowered her eyes and accidentally saw Xiao Yi's fisted hand, and her heart trembled. She knew that Xiao Yi was dissatisfied with Emperor Xiao's actions, but she didn't understand why he was dissatisfied. Emperor Xiao didn't have many women in the harem.
Quite a few, it is normal to have more than one noble concubine. Why does Xiao Yi look so wrong?
Lorna standing in front was completely petrified. Although she was destined for this political marriage, she never expected that An Xuanyi would give her to Emperor Xiao as his concubine and ask her to serve an old man. This is what he said he would let her.
The humiliation she received, no matter how unwilling it was, was destined to be her fate, a fate she could not escape.
Although Empress Gu disapproved of Emperor Xiao's actions, she knew that if she spoke out to stop the emperor, she would be criticized for being petty and worried that her position as queen would not be guaranteed in the future. In order not to lose her motherly demeanor, Empress Gu
With a face full of spring and love, she spoke: "Your Majesty, Princess Rona is both talented and beautiful. She must be virtuous and virtuous enough to be the head of the West Palace and in charge of the harem together with my concubines."
As soon as Queen Gu finished speaking, some ministers began to flatter her and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Immediately, the people outside knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, long live my emperor, and your concubine, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
"Okay, everyone should stand up." Emperor Xiao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take your seat." Eunuch Li reminded him in a low voice. Only then did Lorna come back to her senses from her meditation and walked back to her seat with her head lowered.
"Have you finished the performance?" Emperor Xiao casually asked his personal eunuch, Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li glanced at the etiquette officer and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, all the daughters who wanted to perform have finished their performances."
"Then let Mr. Ringer announce the result." Emperor Xiao glanced at Lan Duoduo and Nalan Anqing intentionally or unintentionally.
As soon as the results of the competition were announced, everyone became excited.
Mu Ziqian raised her eyebrows and glanced proudly at Lou Muqin. She was the first to win, but she didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to show up halfway. As long as Xiao Zhanguo's daughter hadn't won, Mu Ziqian's title of the most talented woman would have been lost.
And put it on her body.
Everyone held their breath and all eyes were fixed on Senior Ringer. Although they knew that Anluona's performance was better than Lou Xylophone, everyone still looked forward to Senior Ringer's announcement.
"Wait a minute, Senior Lin Ge. There are still people who haven't performed yet!" Lou Muqin's sonorous and powerful voice was heard by everyone in the audience, and they were all stunned.
"Your Majesty, although most of the female talent shows are attended by young ladies, Princess En and Crown Princess both performed on stage, so should Princess Yi and General Nalan also perform?"
Some ministers and concubines didn't understand. In fact, this talent show was just a formality. Emperor Xiao was just taking the opportunity to marry the prince of another country. As for those who were married, there was really no need to participate.
But when Lou Muqin said these words, it was clear that he was deliberately targeting Lan Duoduo and Nalan Anqing.
"Xiaoduo, General Nalan, I believe everyone is looking forward to your performance, why don't you just go on stage for a while." Queen Gu looked at them and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" As soon as everyone heard Queen Gu speak out, they also joined in.
Nalan Anqing panicked, what was this and what? He clearly wanted her to go on stage to cause embarrassment, but if she didn't go, Chudu would be embarrassed. After all, she was the only woman who came as an envoy of Chudu.
She bit her lip and stood up bravely: "Nalan is not talented. Apart from sword dancing, he doesn't know anything about piano or dancing. He can play the flute though. If everyone is interested, Nalan is willing to perform a song. I hope everyone won't laugh.
Nalan.”
"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't heard anyone play the flute for a long time." Emperor Xiao looked expectantly and glanced at Lan Duoduo.
"Then who will go on stage first, you or Xiaoduo?"
Du Zirui and Hong Huaze were excited when they heard that Lan Duoduo was going to perform too. Du Zirui was here to see the joke, and Hong Huaze was curious. What talents could the third sister perform, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
And Xiao Yi was even more curious. Apart from hearing her recite poetry, he had never seen her do anything else?
Lan Duoduo was deep in thought when she suddenly heard Emperor Xiao's words and hurriedly stood up and said with a wry smile.
"Father, Xiaoduo is not a talented girl, forget it!"
"Xiao Duo, don't disturb everyone's interest. I'll recite a poem and play the piano for you." Xiao Huang waved to her with a sly smile.
Lan Duoduo was troubled, raised her little face, and said in a cold voice: "Xiaoduo likes to eat, drink and have fun in his life, but he doesn't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
As soon as Lan Duoduo said this, there was a lot of discussion, and some people even pointed fingers behind her back. Rumors said that she was uneducated and had no skills, which made many teachers angry. I didn't expect it to be true. She was incompetent in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Is Princess Yi not confident, or is she really not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Lou Muqin stood up and looked at Lan Duoduo with cold eyes, slightly mocking.
Seeing this, Emperor Lan couldn't sit still and stood up hurriedly: "Your Majesty Emperor Xiao, Xiaoduo has been... since he was a child..."
Before Lan Huang said anything, he was interrupted by Lan Duoduo. She didn't want to be mentioned about the fool again. After all, the fool was not her: "Father, although Xiaoduo is not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, he can still sing.
Yes, let Nalan perform first, and Xiaoduo go down first to get ready." Lan Duoduo knew that Lou Muqin was coming for her, and wanted to take the opportunity to make everyone laugh at her, but there was no way.
Du Zirui couldn't help but laugh when he saw her being provoked. "I wonder what song Princess Yi wants to sing for everyone."
She saw Du Zirui staring at her, with a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes full of fun. This ruffian, knowing that someone was having trouble with her, still gloating about someone's misfortune, Lan Duoduo spoke in a cold and arrogant manner.
