First Emperor

Chapter 183 Then Shang Qingjun (Part 3)
Although he also intends to form an alliance with Xibohou and entrust his daughter to Xiqi, after a hundred years from him, their lineage may be able to take shelter of Xiqi and continue to prosper.

But now...

Everything is gone.

Even if Marquis Xibo can really help his descendants in the future, it is almost impossible for him to avoid this hurdle now.

He didn't dare to disobey the imperial decree, otherwise there would be no talk of prosperity for future generations, and the line of the Prime Minister's Mansion might just wither and cease to exist.

He had to hand over the list of his daughter Shang Qingjun, not for anything else, just so that they would not be implicated, so that the business line would not disappear.

But Shang Rong also thought about it, even if Shang Qingjun was submitted to the list, he might not be selected, after all, only one person was selected.

If that's the case then you'll have nothing to worry about.

But I'm afraid that Yin Xin will choose her, and then it will be really troublesome!
After a while, a woman walked in outside the room, and Shang Rong's wives and concubines were all sent away by him.

There is a beautiful person, Qing Yang Wanxi.

She is dressed in a white skirt, elegant and refined, graceful and charming. She is so beautiful even when compared to the empress Jiang Yaojing, and each has its own merits and charm.

"Father, I heard from my aunt that you are looking for me!" Shang Qingjun took lotus steps, walked up to him, and bowed slightly to Shang Rong.

"Qingjun, tonight's banquet in the palace, the empress of the court proposed to choose a concubine for the king. In order not to disturb the common people, this time the concubine will be selected from the princes, ministers and princes in the court. The age is between sixteen and you. in it."

Shang Rong is too familiar with his daughter, she is very independent and has a very unique insight, so he didn't go around the bush, and immediately spoke out.

"what……"

Shang Qingjun couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, she never expected that it was so late, Shang Rong called her here just for this matter.

She is so smart that she doesn't need extra nonsense, she already understands it.

"Father, but Brother Fa and I are in love, if..." Shang Qingjun looked at Shang Rong at this moment, with tears streaming from the corner of his eyes.

"Qing Jun, the empress will report the list in three days, and there will be no loss. Therefore, for the sake of the family, father has to... But don't worry, father will do his best to protect you and never let the king choose you. When the time comes, you But return to Xiqi quickly with Ji Fa, and get married immediately, then the king will have no choice but to give up."

Shang Rong shook his head and sighed, he just couldn't help it.

In fact, Shang Rong also knows that his daughter Shang Qingjun was born with a beautiful country, and she knows the general principles, and she is also knowledgeable about heaven and man. If she meets Di Xin, the other women will be ashamed, and the empress will definitely choose her. When the time comes... …

Unless the Empress Empress is afraid that Shang Qingjun will enter the palace and take away her glory, and she may use some tricks, Shang Qingjun's appearance and demeanor are definitely seldom surpassed by those around him.

But judging from the behavior of the empress today, it is not necessarily that she will be jealous of Shang Qingjun's beauty, and maybe it will be really bad by then.

"Father, is there any other way?"

Shang Qingjun's beautiful face is stained with tears, she dare not bet, if she is selected, then she will have to accept her fate and enter the palace, and will never have the chance to be with her true love again!She is not reconciled!

"Your existence has long been known to the treacherous ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun. If you don't report it, once they testify against the king, not to mention your father, maybe even our entire family will be innocently implicated, and our century-old reputation will be wiped out! "

Shang Rong thought a lot, if he still had a way, he would definitely not seek Shang Qingjun tonight.

Shang Rong hates it.

He hated why he came out to block the concubine selection, if he didn't make a sound, then Fei Zhong and You Hun wouldn't lock him up!

So maybe there is still a glimmer of life, but now...

"Father..." Shang Qingjun fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming down his face, and burst into tears.

She cried helplessly.

Shang Rong sighed again and again, but he was also helpless.

Shang Qingjun is his most beloved daughter, and he is reluctant to part with it. If she enters the palace, her life may be completely ruined.

……

Three days later, Shang Rong sent Shang Qingjun's list to Jiang Yaojing, the Empress of the Central Palace.

At the moment Yin Xin is in the middle palace.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister sent someone to send over the list of his daughters, why don't you just take a look?" Jiang Yaojing handed Yin Xin the wish list.

"I'm not interested. Just take a look!" Yin Xin waved his hands, not bothering to take a second look.

"Isn't the Prime Minister worried that she will be selected?" Jiang Yaojing said with a smile.

"Of course he is worried. It is said that he loves his little daughter the most, so how can he watch her jump into the sea of ​​fire? But there is no way now. Who will let Fei Zhong and You Hun know about his daughter? Sin may kill the family! But he should be betting that the orphan will not choose her daughter." Yin Xin had already considered what Prime Minister Shang Rong thought, so everything was under his control.

"Then the concubine will arrange an interview ceremony tomorrow, and the king will have to show up when the time comes." Jiang Yaojing continued.

"There is no need to be so troublesome. Since even Prime Minister Shang Rong sent the list of his daughters, it is natural to choose his daughter. Can other courtiers compare with him? If the courtiers have opinions, let them They are going to toss with Shang Rong!"

"Ah... Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Jiang Yaojing patted her head and scratched her long hair.

"Then the concubines will send the dresses of the concubines to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow. But what kind of dresses are suitable for the king?" Jiang Yaojing looked at Yin Xin and asked with some concerns.

Dresses can be delivered at any time, but the grade needs to be determined by Yin Xin!
"Determined by the rank of the noble concubine! You can't lose the status of the prime minister, and the higher the rank, the greater the burden on Shang Rong and Xiqi. If they don't follow, the crime will be heavier."

There was a sneer on the corner of Yin Xin's mouth, he just wanted to plot against Xiqi Jichang, just to suppress the future Lord of Xiqi.

"But what if Shang Qingjun really entered the palace?" Jiang Yaojing couldn't help but think of a key question.

"If she really enters the palace, then she can find a place to live in the harem. Anyway, the harem is deserted."

Yin Xin said casually, he didn't take Shang Qingjun to heart at all, he can't blame Yin Xin for this matter, if he wants to blame, he can blame her own choice.

To him, he doesn't care what Shang Qingjun is like, she is just a bargaining chip for Shang Rong and Ji Chang in Yin Xin's schemes.

As for what Jiang Yaojing said just now, even if Shang Qingjun enters the palace obediently by then, he will not pay attention to her.

But the only troublesome thing is to find another opportunity to plot against Ji Fa. Now that Chaoge has come, it will not be so easy to go back to Xiqi.

"What the king said is very true." Jiang Yaojing smiled.

In fact, for Jiang Yaojing, she really wanted Yin Xin to be the concubine, after all, the majestic king of a country has only the queen in the huge harem.

If it was accidentally spread, his country would laugh at Da Shang and look down on Di Xin.

Jiang Yaojing had expected this a long time ago, that's why she supported Concubine Yin Xinna in this way.
