Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 83 Five Girls
Since when did your feelings for her become so awkward?

Li Shan thought hard, was it after Xizi's death, or earlier?

In the final analysis, it was because she was too close to him, unlike other palace people who never talked or got close to her.

She is different.

She was the one who once rescued the cat for him, who chased him in Hongwen Palace and asked questions boldly. Later she was Xizi's favorite friend, and now she is the empress of the imperial father...

She was too close to him, her presence was everywhere in his life, and she bypassed his status and hit that part of his heart.

Moreover, she is a good-looking and interesting woman. In an atmosphere where everyone reminds him that he is about to get married, it is not surprising that he has some strange thoughts about the woman who is closest to him and not related by blood. thing, right?
Li Shan reflected on himself in his heart, and finally suppressed his guilt of falling in love with a concubine in the harem.

He tried to calm down and told himself that as long as he married a wife and found a woman closer to him, everything would be fine.

……

……

Now that the queen is gone, Concubine Wei is the de facto master of the harem. Matters such as the prince's marriage, where women in the harem need to inquire about a person's moral character, fall on Concubine Wei.

After more than half a year of various observations and inquiries, five suitable girls were finally selected.

On this day, Concubine Wei invited everyone to the palace. She did not call their mother-in-law and just held a small banquet to talk.

The banquet was held in Anren Hall, where Concubine Wei lived.

Recently, Prince Li Shan has abandoned Wu Rou's duties as the female official serving Mo, and does not allow her to come near to serve him.When she had time, she continued to be assigned by Concubine Wei to arrange the banquet.

According to her usual habit, in order to ensure that the banquet went smoothly, she still went to the palace gate to pick up people. This time they had to come from the Yeting Palace.

So after she arranged everything in Anren Palace, she walked to the east gate of Yeting Palace.

Because the banquet was small, there were not many palace people involved, and Wu Rou did not have any supporting female officials. Walking alone in this huge Tai Chi Palace was inconspicuous.

But when she arrived at the door, she didn't receive anyone. When she asked the guards at the palace gate, she found out that they had arrived long ago and had gone to Anren Hall.

Wu Rou was very surprised to hear this and said:

"You didn't pick up the palace maids or chamberlains, so you let them wander around the palace like this?"

The guard guarding the door was also frightened. He was afraid of taking responsibility and unjustly saluted Wu Rou:
"Please forgive me, Mr. Wu. They have been to the palace several times. No one came to pick them up the first two times. It was Wang Jieyu who hosted the banquet who gave permission, so we followed the routine."

When Wu Rou heard this, she frowned slightly and left without saying a word.

When Princess Jinyang died of the epidemic, Wang Jieyu's daughter also died.Inexplicably, she felt sympathy for Wang Jieyu and no longer had the intention to blame her.

But they didn't meet anyone when they arrived. Where did they go?

While Wu Rou felt weird, she followed the road and looked everywhere.

Finally, in a garden on the road to Anren Temple, I saw several women sitting together in gorgeous clothes from a distance.

Although Wu Rou has never seen them, they are all girls in the [-]th and [-]th years of age. At first glance, they are not from the palace, and there is no one else except them.Looking at it, it seemed that the sun was too bright today, and a few people felt that it was still early, so they took a rest here temporarily.

Just when Wu Rou put a smile on her face and was about to turn into the woods to pick them up, she heard them mention her name——

"That martial artist has had no heirs for so many years. Maybe he is too weak to conceive a dragon heir."

Wu Rou's eyes flashed, and she immediately stopped and hid behind the woods.

There were only five girls, three sitting in the pavilion and two standing on one corner of the pavilion looking out, all gently shaking their fans to cool off.

The person who just spoke was the one sitting in the corner of the pavilion. He was dressed in a bright yellow floral dress and his sitting posture was very casual. He had two strokes of naughty broken hair on his forehead, which was swaying in the wind from the fan.

The three people sitting in the pavilion were all relatively well-behaved. They looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said:
"That's not true. I heard them say that martial arts people do not please His Majesty and have never slept with him."

The woman in yellow shirt just now said:

"How is this possible? She didn't have a bed attendant, so where did the title of Wu Mei come from? And she has been staying in Wude Hall for a long time. If His Majesty doesn't favor her, why is he so kind to her?"

The three women sitting in the middle of the pavilion seemed to have a particularly good relationship. The other one smiled and said:
"Then I don't know. Anyway, it is undeniable that the martial artist has some tricks to win favors. The Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yan De both liked her very much, and the late Princess Jinyang also liked her very much.

Even His Highness the Crown Prince, I heard, looked at her differently.If you want to win the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince, you may have a better chance of winning if you pay more attention to her behavior, or ask for advice. "

Upon hearing this, the woman in yellow shirt turned her head and looked at them in surprise for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Sister Liu is so kind. She even taught us how to fight for the crown prince. You have taught us the benefits. What should you do?"

When the girl named Liu heard that she was being ridiculed, her face was unhappy for a moment, but she soon calmed down.

She shook her fan and sighed deeply, saying:
"To be honest, I don't want to fight for this princess, but I can't help but make the decision myself."

The girl who had been sitting in another corner of the pavilion had her back to Wu Rou and could not see her face clearly, but she was the one wearing the most low-key dress. She was dressed in Su Qing. She asked curiously:
"Why? Your Highness the Crown Prince...isn't there something you don't like?"

Miss Liu said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally impeccable in appearance and temperament, but he is not stable. Think about it when the Crown Prince was deposed and the concubine was selected, everyone was competing for it.

The one from the Wei family and the Yan family, one married into a distant feudal country and became a relative, and the other entered a Taoist temple. Everyone in the world envied the Su family's wealth and destiny.The results of it?

Now the Su family is the worst off, having been implicated for nothing and went to live as a common people in a remote mountain ravine. "

Everyone was a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, one of the three slapped her with a round fan and lowered his voice and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you saying this casually? If someone with a heart listens to it, and you will go to the imperial concubine to file a complaint, you will not be able to reap the consequences."

Miss Liu was really not afraid. She rolled her eyes and turned sideways and said:

"I'm telling the truth... Aren't you afraid?"

The green girl Su said again:

"How is that possible? You are overthinking it. Your Majesty has a very close relationship with Queen Wende. He has a lot of preferences for her children. No matter what, he will not go around the Crown Prince to establish someone else."
