After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 277
"Yes." Li Shi nodded solemnly.

"Oh, that's fine." Tao Lian didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at all, and nodded frankly in agreement.

Seeing this, Tao Tian and his wife became even more worried.

After thinking for a while, Tao Tian instructed: "When the time comes to enter the palace, try not to stand out and try to reduce your sense of existence. It is best not to let the emperor and prince see you."

Tao Lian didn't quite understand, but obediently agreed, "Got it."

Two days passed in a flash.

On the day of the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, Tao Lian was sent outside the palace gate by his parents, and then entered the palace with a group of noble girls.

The Lotus Appreciation Banquet is arranged by the Taiye Pool.

The palace people led the crowd to Taiye Pool.

At this time, lotus flowers are blooming in Taiye Pool, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant at a glance.

Because the emperor and the prince hadn't arrived yet, the noble ladies gathered together in twos and threes to watch the lotus in the pond.

Tao Lian and a familiar lady stood together and talked.

"Lian Lian, I heard that you were invited to enter the palace by the emperor himself. This time, you are going to choose a concubine for the crown prince. You may become the crown prince's concubine."

The lady's name was Lin Qingru, and she whispered to Tao Lian in a low voice.

Tao Lian was admiring the lotus in the pond, when he heard this, he looked at her in surprise, "What chooses a concubine?"

Seeing this, Lin Qingru sized her up carefully, and said with a smile, "Why, you don't know about this matter?"

Tao Lian shook her head, "Father didn't tell me."

Lin Qingru didn't believe it, "Really?"

"It's true." Tao Lian nodded.

Lin Qingru paused, bumped her arm, and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen the prince? I heard that the prince was born handsome and uncommon, and he is clean. So far, there is no concubine in the East Palace.

Don't you want to enter the East Palace? "

Tao Lian looked at her in astonishment, shook his head decisively, "I don't want to."

Lin Qingru pinched her face when she heard the words, and joked: "We are good sisters, don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying, I never thought about entering the East Palace." Tao Lian frowned, "Why, do you really want to enter the East Palace?"

Lin Qingru choked for a moment, and whispered uncomfortably, "East Palace, who doesn't want to enter?"

"What did you say?" Tao Lian didn't hear clearly and looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Qingru paused, then shook her head, "It's nothing. Hey, the lotus over there is so beautiful, let's go and have a look."

Tao Lian was indeed distracted by her, nodded, "Okay."

Lin Qingru stared at her profile for a while, feeling a little disdainful.

She didn't believe that Tao Lian didn't know that today's name was Shanghe, but she was actually choosing a concubine for the prince, and she didn't believe that she wouldn't want to enter the East Palace.

Her father had analyzed it with her, this time it was called the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, but it was actually the Crown Prince's Concubine Selection Banquet.

And Tao Lian, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, is one of the candidates for the crown princess.

But without Tao Lian, her chances of becoming the crown princess would be even greater.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but move a little bit.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice pierced the Taiye Pool, "Concubine Xian is here, Wan Jieyu is here—"

Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around to salute.

"Everyone, don't be polite, don't be cautious, do what you have to do, don't pay attention to Ben Gong and Wan Jieyu." A gentle female voice said.

"Thank you, Concubine Xian." All the concubines stood up.

Holding Wanrun's hand, Concubine Xian walked over slowly, looked at the slim ladies one by one, and said with emotion: "It's nice to be young, look at their vibrant faces, it's really called Ben's face." Gong is envious."

Wan Run echoed with a smile: "It's really enviable."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian turned her head to look at her, and said jokingly: "Do you still need to be envious? Compared to them, you are not far behind."

Wan Run sighed, "But my state of mind is already old."

Concubine Xian scolded with a smile, "Your mentality is getting old, isn't mine about to rot?"

"Concubine Xian is peaceful and kind-hearted, so she will not be corrupted." Wan Run said sincerely.

Concubine Xian was recently promoted. She is the oldest concubine among the concubines and the emperor's first woman. However, she has never been proud of it. Instead, she keeps a low profile and never competes with others. .

In the harem, accidents happened to the concubines one after another, but she was the only one who never had any troubles.

Therefore, being named a sage by the Jin Dynasty is worthy of the name.

"You have a small mouth, you can really talk, no wonder the emperor dotes on you." Concubine Xian laughed.

"Concubine Xian was joking, the emperor values ​​you the most, Concubine Xian will take care of me more in the future." Wan Run blinked her eyes and said in a low voice.

Concubine Xian squeezed her hand, "I should be the one who said that." After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, in this harem, as long as you know how to clearly identify yourself, it's yours. It's yours, it's not yours, and it's useless to try your best."

After all, she sighed.

Wan Run paused, knowing that she was talking about Rongniang and Concubine Zhang.

"Taught." She said softly.

Concubine Xian patted her hand, "Okay, we're here today, but we have important things to do."

After Wan Run heard the words, she didn't speak any more, and followed her to the seat.

Although Concubine Xian told everyone not to be restrained, what to do, what to do, but the noble ladies dare not be so casual.

Seeing the two of them seated, the noble ladies immediately cheered up 12 points.

At this time, the Royal Study Room.

The emperor said to Qi Yan: "Prince, after a while, I will accompany you to the Taiye Pond. I heard that many noble ladies have entered the palace today."

Qi Yan naturally knew about today's lotus feast, and also knew his father's intentions.

He frowned lightly, nodded, "Okay."

The emperor saw him standing tall and tall with a sullen handsome face, and joked, "Are you nervous?"

Qi Yan glanced at him in surprise, wondering why he thought so, shook his head, "No."

When the emperor heard the words, he decided that he was being stubborn, but he didn't expose him, "I have neglected you all these years, so that you are so old, and there are no concubines in the palace.

When you arrive at Taiye Pool in a while, besides choosing the princess, I allow you to choose a few more women. "

Qi Yan felt a little repelled in his heart, but his father's majesty did not allow him to contradict him, so he nodded lightly.

The emperor paused and reminded: "Of course, the candidate for the crown princess can only be chosen among Lin, Xu, and Tao, and the rest can be as you like."

When Qi Yan heard this, a gleam of light flashed across the bottom of his pitch-black eyes, and his brows stretched, "Thank you, Royal Father."

Seeing this, the emperor thought he understood something, laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder, and went to Taiye Pool together.

Taiye pool.

When the emperor and prince arrived, the scene was in chaos.

There was an arguing voice from a lady, "It wasn't me, I didn't push her..."

"Since it happened, it's useless for you to escape."

"It's really not me..."

"What's going on?" the emperor asked in a deep voice, his face was a little ugly, he was enjoying the lotus feast, but it was as messy as a vegetable market.
