Love the concubine

Chapter 36 Condition for Concubine Selection
After putting the wine glass aside, in order to distract Ling Wuying's attention, Yun Xi glanced at the women who were performing talents, then turned around with a smirk and said to him: "Look, every one of them It can be said that they are both talented and beautiful, among so many, isn't there one that makes you feel excited?"

Hearing her words, Ling Wuying took a look at those famous ladies who worked hard, and finally said to Yun Xi coldly: "No matter how good they are, they are also the eyeliners sent by the queen to monitor me, don't forget I did what you promised me before."

Hearing this, Yun Xi pursed his lips boredly, and then seemed to think of something, looked at him as soon as his eyes lit up and asked: "Is that as long as I help you avoid the concubine selection this time, other things Can I just leave it alone?"

Ling Wuying thought about it, and finally nodded to Yun Xi.Then Yun Xi showed a treacherous smile and said to him: "If that's the case, I have an idea!"

"What idea?" Ling Wuying stared at her curiously and asked.

Yun Xi hooked his fingers at him at this time, and when he leaned over, he clung to his ear and whispered about his plan.

Now everyone's attention is focused on those wonderful performances, and no one pays attention to the movement on their side.After Yun Xi made his plan clear, Ling Wuying's eyes suddenly brightened.

"The Emperor is here!"

Yun Xi had just finished talking to Ling Wuying when he heard that the emperor was coming!So everyone quickly stood up from their seats, and when the fat middle-aged man in a dragon robe walked over, everyone saluted him respectfully.

"Let's all be free! You don't have to be too formal today, just sit down!"

Hearing the thick voice say this, everyone sat back again.

When the emperor walked in front of the queen mother, he also saluted her, and then sat on the dragon chair prepared on the other side.

"Hey, it seems that your father and queen have made up their minds to let you become a concubine today!" Yun Xi elbowed Ling Wuying, and said something funny to him.

She had heard Xiaoxiao tell her before that the Hundred Flowers Banquet is arranged by the queen mother and queen every year, and the emperor will not show up to join in the fun, but today he came in person, and Yun Xi is now using his toes Can figure it out, this emperor must have come here for Ling Wuying's marriage!

Yun Xi thought so, and later on he heard the emperor say: "Just now I saw the talents performed by the daughters of various families, and found that all of them are talented, so they can be called talented women!" I first praised the girls of each family.

After hearing the emperor's praise, those young ladies lowered their heads slightly as if they were shy.

Then the emperor got to the point. He turned to look at Ling Wuying and said, "Ying'er, I think you are not too young. You have been king for two or three years, right? It's time to find a princess!" Having said that, the emperor turned to those talented women before.

"I see that the daughters of the ministers' families are all talented and beautiful, and they are all educated and reasonable. Why don't you take advantage of today and decide on your marriage together!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Ling Wuying turned to look at Yunxi without any trace.

Seeing her blinking at herself, Ling Wuying stood up and said to the emperor: "But it's up to the emperor! However, before setting up the princess, I have a small request! Please allow the emperor!"

Hearing this, the emperor looked at him curiously and asked, "Oh? What is the request?"

Seeing the emperor's question, Ling Wuying turned around to look at the women, and said to them: "Everyone knows that I was awarded the title of King Ping because of my military exploits. Back then, I went to great lengths to kill the enemy on the battlefield. When I was young, I thought that the princess who will be with me for the rest of my life in the future must also have the determination and courage to live and die with me!"

When Ling Wuying said the latter, many ladies frowned, as if they still didn't understand what he meant by these words.

And then Ling Wuying continued: "Now my father is going to choose a concubine for me at this Hundred Flowers Banquet. I believe that all the ladies are among the top talented women in Xuanrui's country, but I don't know. With this determination and courage, how dare you live and die with this king?"

After hearing Ling Wuying's words, all the ladies began to think about it.

Soon, one of the ladies stood up and said: "Although the little girl has never seen the dangers on the battlefield, when I was at home, my mother often taught me what three obediences and four virtues are! As the saying goes, obeying your husband when you marry, if your husband If you are in danger, as a wife, you should do the same."

One raised his head, and the others nodded and said yes.

At this moment, Yun Xi was eating the cakes on the table while watching them as if watching a play, thinking that this girl's mind was turning quite fast, and she answered Ling Wuying's question very well in such a short time. proposed question.

And because Yunxi is also relatively small now, Ling Wuying just blocked her when she stood up, so no one would notice her at this time, even the emperor and Ling Wuying didn't look at her when they were talking just now. It turned out that there was Yun Xi beside him.

Ling Wuying didn't show any special expression when he heard the lady's words at this time, but said indifferently: "I believe that all the ladies are well-educated and reasonable ladies, but some things are not as simple as just talking about it." of!"

In the end, Ling Wuying turned around and said respectfully to the emperor, "I implore my father to give me a bow and ten arrows."

Hearing Ling Wuying's words, the emperor frowned slightly, apparently not understanding what he wanted the bow and arrow for?But when he saw that there were exactly ten daughters present, he seemed to understand something, and finally he asked the little eunuch beside him to get a bow and arrow for Ling Wuying.

Among the people present, only Yun Xi knew what Ling Wuying wanted to do, because she was the one who proposed this method!The purpose is to see how capable the ten eyeliners cultivated by the queen are!If they really survived this test, it means that the queen's choice still has two brushes.

At this time, Ling Wuying took the bow and arrow sent by the eunuch, thanked the emperor, turned around and walked to the middle, and then said to the standing ladies: "Now I have a bow and ten arrows in my hand. , in order to test whether you have the determination to be my princess, so I decided to let all the ladies hold an apple in their hands!" At this point, Ling Wuying deliberately stopped to observe their look.

At this time, a trace of uneasiness appeared on the faces of all the ladies, which was exactly what Yun Xi had expected before!
After sweeping past everyone's expressions, Ling Wuying continued: "Then this king will shoot ten arrows blindfolded. If there is any young lady who can let this king's arrow hit her hand The apple in the bag, then she will be my future Princess Ping!"

Hearing this, Yun Xi immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Ling Wuying in disbelief.

Before, she asked Ling Wuying to test them by shooting apples, but she didn't let him blindfold him!This Ling Wuying is really too ruthless!If those ladies were normal people, they would definitely be terrified when they heard Ling Wuying's words!

Yun Xi thought about it, and then she heard all the ladies take a breath.

They have heard a lot about the conditions for choosing various princesses from ancient times to the present, but this is the first time they have encountered such a selection method as Ling Wuying!According to such a selection method, wouldn't anyone who wants to be his princess have to experience life and death first?

"Emperor, is there something wrong with you doing this?" The emperor also spoke at this time, but before Ling Wuying could say anything, the queen mother said: "Emperor, I don't think Wuying is right to do this. What's wrong, after all, you are a person who will be with you for a lifetime, so you should be more serious."

"What the queen mother said is true." The queen mother said so, and the emperor couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree with Ling Wuying's approach.

Seeing this, the queen next to her couldn't help clenching her fists in her sleeves, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction on the surface, but quietly winked at the women who were waiting to be selected.

Yun Xi happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, and at this moment he only said leisurely in his heart: Even though they were all cultivated by you, this will be related to your own life and safety after all, I am afraid that most of those women want to protect themselves, How can I care about the wink of you, the queen?

Sure enough, those ladies saw the Queen's eyes and avoided them on purpose.The queen naturally noticed this too, but she couldn't say anything now, so she could only cast a sharp glance at them with her incompetent eyes.

Yun Xi saw all this in his eyes, and at this time also looked at the crowd, and now he is waiting for Ling Wuying's next step!

The emperor had already agreed, and Ling Wuying didn't care even more.Then he asked someone to give each lady an apple, let them hold it in their hands, and asked them to stand side by side.

After remembering where they were standing, Ling Wuying asked someone to bring another black ribbon and covered her eyes.

Seeing Ling Wuying's movements, the hearts of every young lady were almost in their throats!
They had indeed listened to the queen's instructions before, and wanted to marry into the palace and monitor Ling Wuying for her, but now their lives were at stake, so whether they should continue to obey the queen's orders or not was worth a second look. Think again.

While the ladies were thinking about these things, Ling Wuying had already prepared the bow and arrow.

If it were an ordinary person, at most five arrows could be launched at one time, but Ling Wuying had to take ten arrows this time!In the eyes of normal people, this is still very difficult, but Ling Wuying in front of him didn't seem to be struggling too much, and he drew the bow easily.
