Chapter 175
Three days later, Shengping Hall.

The young ladies from each family are led by their mothers and even grandmothers, and enter the hall in order according to their family background. In the hall sit the noble concubine Yu and the noble concubine Yue, accompanied by concubines Xiang, Concubine Rong and Chen Shuyuan on both sides. sit.

That's right, Yue Wangshu saw that the concubines were also idle all day long, so why not take this opportunity to hold a palace banquet, invite wives and daughters of various families into the palace, and use the name of the banquet to choose Look at the reality of the princess.

She is neither the queen nor the biological mother of the second prince, so how can she just look at her palace so casually?Therefore, I specially invited the noble concubine to sit in the town.

The eunuch Li Yue read at the top of his voice: "The English lady Wei brings the eldest son and second daughter to the audience!"

Then an old man with gray sideburns was supported by a young girl and walked forward, and his grandparents saluted on the futon.

More than 20 ladies, just like this, were introduced into the hall, saluted, got up, and then the noble concubine asked about the age and preferences of the ladies, and then sat in the table.

Girls from other families are accompanied by elders, even if there is no mother, there is also a grandmother or aunt.But when it came to the Marquis of Qingning, Meng Shu was the only one who entered the hall to pay homage.

On the contrary, she is very polite, even on such a big occasion, she didn't lose her composure at all.

Yue Wangshu couldn't help being puzzled for a moment. She knew that Meng Shu didn't have a mother in ancient times, but...you can also ask an elder from the same clan to accompany her?
The noble concubine called Pingshen, and also asked in doubt: "Why, there is no elder to accompany you to the palace for the banquet?"

Meng Shu raised her small face, showing a slightly sad look: "My daughter's mother passed away early."

The noble concubine's face was slightly unhappy: "This Ai family naturally knows." ——Without a mother, don't you even have an aunt in the same clan?

At this time, Concubine Xiang hurriedly stood up and approached, and whispered to each other: "Young Concubine, this Qing Ninghou seems to be at odds with his brothers and clansmen, so... I feel sorry for this girl."

The noble concubine thought that this little Meng family was Empress Meng's own niece, so she waved her hand: "Forget it, let's go and take a seat."

Yue Wangshu also heard Zhenzhen, and couldn't help thinking to himself, what did this Qing Ninghou do?At this time, so many brothers and clansmen, are they not in harmony?At this time, why should I find a married woman elder for my daughter to make up for it?
Could it be that Yan Lao Liu's suspicion was correct?This Qing Ninghou is really not a fuel-efficient lamp? ?

Forget it, this time she deliberately included Meng Shu in the list of banquets in the palace, because she didn't want to embarrass Empress Meng's natal niece.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was the selection of the first concubine for the second prince, and the Meng family had an unmarried girl of the right age, if they didn't invite a girl from the Meng family, it would be blatantly rejecting her.

After a while, the ladies and ladies of the major families had already taken their seats, but the ladies of other families had their elders by their side, only Meng Shu was alone.

After everyone sat down, Jiaofangsi's first dance was officially presented.

Appreciate the dance, but also appreciate the manners of the ladies.

The many nobles above have quietly started to criticize in a low voice.

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "The nine girls of the Yu family are elegant and beautiful. If I have a son, I will definitely ask him to be my daughter-in-law!"

The Concubine Gui laughed and said: "Concubine Rong is more and more fond of joking, but I look at your grandmother's great-granddaughter as the first-class beauty."

Speaking of Marquis Qingning, Concubine Rong inevitably thought of some unpleasant things, but it was not enough to cause trouble for the younger generation.

What the imperial concubine was talking about was the eldest daughter of Yao Chongjun, the eldest son of the Marquis of Qingning, who was indeed a delicate and beautiful girl, so this beautiful girl should call Yao Manzhi her aunt.

Tsk tsk, the Yao family's genes are really good!Yue Wangshu took a sip of tea, admiring the beautiful singing and dancing, admiring ladies from various families, it was really a feast for the eyes.

Although Meng Shu is also very good, but compared to her beauty, there is always someone more beautiful.The ladies of each family are all generous, courteous, and there is no stage fright and gaffe when they enter the palace for a banquet. ——After all, they are all girls educated by aristocratic families, and they are not bad in etiquette.

So, this time, Miss Meng was actually compared to others.

Even Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but take a sneak peek at the noble daughter of the Duke's family and the little lady of the Hou's mansion, she was dazzled.

Yue Wangshu smiled and whispered: "Grand Concubine is well-informed, look, there are so many ladies, which one is the best?"

Although Gui Doufei also hoped that her own girl would be selected, she couldn't open her eyes and talk nonsense, she could only say: "That little girl from the Yao family is the most outstanding."

Concubine Rong hurriedly said: "How can we only look at the appearance? The prince marries a wife, and he is elected as a virtuous one."

The imperial concubine suddenly thought of something, "Ai Jia remembers that the imperial concubine summoned the little lady of the Meng family in private a while ago? Is it the emperor's intention?"

Yue Wangshu could only nod his head and say "yes".

The noble concubine glanced at the lonely young lady of the Meng family, and couldn't help shaking her head, "It's really not outstanding enough."

Meng Shu, who was sitting at the bottom, was shaking her head after seeing the noble concubine looking at her for a few times, and her originally calm mind was unavoidably shaken for a moment.But she could only try her best to comfort herself, the imperial concubine was just the emperor's aunt, not the empress dowager, and it was not her turn to make the decision on the second prince's marriage.

Yue Wangshu hurriedly said: "The rules and etiquette are very good, and I heard that she is also a very intelligent girl."

The Concubine Gui continued to shake her head, "Forget it, turn around and tell the emperor in person. Chengzhen is the prince after all, and the marriage cannot be so casual. At worst, don't look back, and just give the Meng family a good marriage."

Yue Wang said comfortably, the matter of getting married to the Meng family was already out of date.But she didn't need to say clearly that the second prince's marriage should be discussed with the emperor.The noble concubine always treats the princes and princesses in the palace as if they are her grandsons and granddaughters, so naturally she wants to choose the best girl for the second prince.

Yue Wangshu smiled and looked at Chen Shuyuan who was already a little dizzy: "Look, Shuyuan, which girl is good?"

Chen Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "All are good! All are good!"——Why did it seem that Miss Meng was eliminated instead? Listening to the tone of the concubine Gui, she wanted to choose a better one, and Chen Shuyuan naturally had no objection.

Chen Shuyuan has lived at this age, where has she seen so many ladies from all over the world?I thought it would be the best choice for my son to marry the former queen's niece, but unexpectedly there are so many princes and noble daughters to choose from!For a while, it is inevitable that I will feel a little dizzy.

"It's just that today is too grand..." Chen Shuyuan was really flattered by the prince's choice of concubine.

Yue Wangshu smiled and said: "Anyway, everyone is idle, so I called a staff officer, just in time to enjoy the singing and dancing, so as to save the scene from embarrassment. It's better to arrange it with Concubine Xiang."

Chen Shuyuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, thank you, Concubine Xiang, for your trouble."

Concubine Xiang laughed and said: "Our emperor only has three princes, so naturally we have to take extra care. When the fourth prince grows up later, it will be more grand."

Yue Wangshu laughed and said, "Then I'll wait!"

Choosing beauties is a matter of pleasing to the eye, but how old is little Adi.

But then I thought about it, the ancients got married early, and at this time, it slipped away from the palm of my hand without paying attention.
