Cute girl Shura

Chapter 44

The city gate is so prosperous that the sky is high, and the glory and honor are enjoyed in the Weiyang Kingdom.

"Fifteen years of prosperity, the years are very safe. Today, the emperor's grace is great, and everyone who is fifteen years old, more than twenty women gathered in front of the Confucian Temple to perform the ceremony, and all the princes accompanied him. I respect you."

The yellow and orange notices were pasted in conspicuous places all over the place, and the crowd was so noisy that the whole city knew it.

"Although this is to hold a grand ceremony for Jili's daughter, it is not a small matter for all the princes to come here at the same time!"

"It's clear that we want to choose concubines for the princes. I heard that the eldest prince and the second prince are outstanding in talent and appearance, and won the emperor's favor, but they have never had a woman they like. I am afraid that this time, such a grand event will be held just for them."

"Isn't it? It's a pity that my Duzi is a boy, otherwise there would be a chance for the prince to see his style."

"Hahaha……"

Anfu
The sun was warm, and the Anfu, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the Siheyuan of Nida were filled with unprecedented festivities.

"One, two, three, four...five..." An Cong stared at the daughters lined up and counted over and over again, and often stopped when he counted to the fifth.

Today, he was going to take his six daughters to attend the ceremony, seeing that the prepared carriage was already parked at the door, and the seven concubines were all ready, waiting in a row.Success or failure in the officialdom depends on the performance of his six daughters today, no, it should be five daughters.

Because the youngest daughter was born with an evil face, he has never announced her existence to the public, and he has never even prepared a hundred-day banquet for her. The appearance of madness, but because she was born of the royal family Yao who died of dystocia, she has been doted on and named An Yao.

"Where's An Yao?! An Yao——!!!" At this moment, An Cong hoarsely shouted into the room.

No wonder he always felt that something was missing, it turned out that she was not in the queue!It was the first time for him to go out with such a large force, and he was really troubled.

"Father, Yao'er sneaked out from the back door early in the morning and hasn't come back yet." The boss Anya looked at An Cong who was burning with anger, and felt very proud of herself. She wished that An Yao would appear in front of them the next moment, and then suffer Her father slapped her.

If it weren't for the fact that An Yao has been dominating her father's love for her, her mother must have been the legitimate wife of An Mansion by now.

"It's so stubborn!" An Cong stomped his feet and frowned again when he heard this, thinking to himself, anyway, she won't show her face in front of the stage anyway, so she waved at them and said weakly: "Let's all go!" Well, if it’s too late, we won’t be able to catch up.”

For this large ceremony, he did not believe that there were so many daughters, none of whom the prince liked.

The street leading to the Confucian Temple was extremely crowded, and occasionally a few rough and swearing sounds could be heard. With dissatisfaction and irritability, the carriage rolled over countless sand and stones, and finally arrived at the holy place of the Confucian Temple.

It seems that the news of the ceremony was very popular. Apart from the ordinary people who watched the excitement, most of the people present were the families of officials and officials, and there was no shortage of rich merchants and elegant families.

Looking at it from the angle that everyone looks up to, the dragon power of the Seat of the Son of Heaven frightens the audience, and everyone admires it in their hearts.

An Cong sat down after making arrangements for the whole family.

"An Shangshu is really free. It was the busiest day for the Ministry of Rites, but you brought your whole family to join in the fun. I'm afraid it's the emperor's place, so it's hard to explain?" .

"Sun Shangshu's words are wrong. An Shangshu's family has a daughter country. How can the prince miss such a good opportunity to choose a concubine. The daughter's lifelong happiness is still the most important thing. Are you right, An Shangshu?" Huguo in the front row Mr. Gong even had something to say, and he didn't forget to turn around and ask, "By the way, An Shangshu, I wonder if the arrangements for the daughters in your family have been properly arranged? I heard that there are five daughters who came to participate in the ceremony this time, plus Those who were married before have eight daughters?"

At this time, An Cong's face was already blue and purple.

In the entire Weiyang country, I am afraid that no one knows that everyone knows that he has a total of eight wives and concubines, but all of them are girls, not including An Yao...

"The Emperor is here!"

Just when he was most embarrassed, an edict descended like the sound of heaven, and the haze above his head was instantly swept away.I saw that the Dragon Seat on the high rank had been covered by a yellow robe, and under the solemn majesty, the emperor who had made him want to have an audience many times but failed was already aloof at this moment, watching thousands of people below the stage.

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

An Cong knelt down with the crowd and shouted in unison.

"Flat body."

At the same time, two palace servants carried several blue transparent screens onto the stage, and they were arranged on the side below the dragon chair, forming a large circle around them. The intersection of the screens was a corner of the steps, which was convenient for entry and exit.Anyone in the know can guess right away that the ones sitting in the middle of the screen will be this time's hero, the princes.

"Your Majesty, the First Prince has not yet arrived. The Second Prince claims that he has a stomachache and will come after a while. The Third Prince is already early..." Eunuch Xu, who presided over the ceremony, said softly.

"Then there is no need to wait any longer, I will consider it for them." The emperor did not change his face, and raised his hand to signal the beginning of the ceremony.

"Miss, don't fall! Worry!"

Under the Bodhi tree outside the Confucian Temple, Wen Xiang, a maidservant in a green skirt, was stretching out her hands, looking anxiously at the little figure jumping around on the tree.

People passing by raised their heads and pointed out, "Which girl is this ignorant and daring girl who climbed such a high place, if she fell, she would be smashed into a mess."

But the people on the tree had no time to listen to their gossip. A pair of pure peach eyes were staring intently at a bird's nest near the treetop.

"Miss, miss, come down quickly! If something goes wrong, the master will punish Wen Xiang! Miss!"

"Hee hee, Wen Xiang, did you see it? Little bird! It's a little bird!" The girl on the tree suddenly grabbed another branch and walked towards the treetop with the bird's nest.

"Miss! Wen Xiang begs you, come down quickly! Wen Xiang will take you to another fun place, okay?"

"I don't want it!" The slender Liu Mei frowned, almost without thinking, she immediately rejected Wen Xiang's proposal.She doesn't want to be that child who has to be controlled in everything, she wants to be like the birds here, so free to fly as she wants!
Just as she was looking at the bird's nest and smiling idiotically, a congratulatory message came from not far away: "It's an auspicious day for Lingyue, and I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, follow your success..."

"Wow, it's so lively there!" An Yao, who was standing on the top of a tree, saw the source of the sound at a glance. There seemed to be some kind of ceremony being held there, and there was a sea of ​​people.

"Miss, since you like it, why don't we join in the fun?" Under the tree, Wen Xiang, who only hoped that her lady could land safely, followed her emotion and quickly proposed again.
