Lady Changning

Chapter 91 Concubine Selection Ceremony (1)

"The second prince is here!"

I don't know if it's because the name Second Prince is a taboo in the palace, but his appearance scares people every time.

In fact, it wasn't that Huangfu Zimian wanted to enter the palace again, it was because his master was too difficult to deal with, he said in a daze that if he escaped this calamity, then he could learn the Tao further, and even get closer to the master.Knowing that Master was tempting him, he still obediently came.

Of course, part of it is selfish, because when he received Xi Changning Feige's biography and said it was not good, he seemed to come to see what happened in the palace.

"The sons and ministers see the father, the queen, and the emperor's grandmother."

The emperor's grandmother was reluctant to call her, he was not without emotion, what the empress dowager did to their mother and son back then, as long as he saw her carefully painted but slightly fierce face, Huangfu Zimian's heart could not be lifted.

Xi Changning originally entered the palace with Huangfu Zimian and Xuan Jing, but after thinking about it, he chose another carriage to enter the palace one after the other.Moreover, Xi Changning did not go to the side hall to meet Xiu Nu, let alone enter the hall with Huangfu Zimian.

There are too many topics on her now, and it is normal to have a lot of discussions. Huangfu Zimian has been away from the palace for many years, and the conspiracy of the palace has long since disappeared.For no reason, Xi Changning didn't want to drag him into it, not to mention that she entered the palace today to choose a concubine, so the corners of her mouth could not help but bitter.

"I invite the beautiful girl to enter the palace!"

Dressed in gorgeous palace attire, the show women's volleyball team entered the hall together. Xi Changning, who had been outside the gate of the side hall, found a chance to walk at the end. In order to maintain their good image, the show girls were very nervous and meticulous, and did not dare to make mistakes. Of course, there is no time to worry about whether there is an extra person behind him.

It was only when all the show girls stood in a few rows that it became apparent that the person who shouldn't have come was still here.

The lady turned pale with fright on the spot, those bastards clearly said that they had already dealt with them, so why did they still show up in the hall?Could it be that the person sent out hired some unreliable people to handle the matter?Obviously this is the case, otherwise how could you not even look down on a weak woman.

Xi Hanxue is much calmer than the eldest lady. After all, she didn't participate much in this matter, but she just made a plan. If something happened, the eldest lady would not betray her for her glory and wealth. After all, she is only one step away from the crown prince. up.

Huangfu Zimian looked indifferently, looking at Xi Changning in the last row, this is what she wanted, right?His eldest brother is a very good person, no matter what others do, but he knows that no matter whether he is the prince or the elder brother, the prince is a good candidate.Of course, being a husband is another matter, after all, there are too many things that the royal family can't help themselves.

I don't know if it was Huangfu Zimian's delusion, but there was a trace of unbearable in her eyes, but it was fleeting. Coldness is her mask, a mask to protect herself.Hope it does what she wants.

"I invite the prince."

The prince stepped forward and held a jade ruyi on the wedding plate. The red string tied to the jade ruyi symbolizes good luck. The prince wandered among the beautiful women, some of whom were shy or smiling, scratching their heads and showing off.

The prince was only thinking about Liuli, and had no intention of caring about her, and it was just that Xi Changning could only know about all of this.But Xi Hanxue was appointed by his father, and he clearly knew that it was his father's will to give up, but the current situation seems to be all in Yu Ruyi's hands.

If Xi Hanxue is chosen, the third brother will definitely choose Xi Changning. He thinks that he is covering up well, but every time he takes off the gentle mask that he has always maintained in front of Xi Changning. The third younger brother who must return the hatred to him is even more confident.

But if the younger brother of the third emperor would choose Jiang Miaoer as agreed in advance in order to get the support of the ministers in the court, then the father would use various reasons to bring Xi Changning into the harem as a substitute for Concubine Hui. She will bring into full play her temperament of fearing that the world will not be chaotic.

The prince weighed and weighed in his heart, and finally stopped in front of Xi Hanxue. He couldn't lift his spirits looking at this exquisite face. When it comes to face, Liuli is also a peerless face. However, his life experience is miserable, otherwise, how could he let him be like this? Difficult choice.

Xi Hanxue found that the prince was fascinated by her face, and he must have been attracted by her peerless beauty. The queen mother was right, men don't need women to be too smart, what they want is good looks.It's also pleasing to put around like this, presumably the prince is almost inseparable, not to mention having the emperor's backing for a long time.

However, there was a change in the last scene. When everyone thought that Xi Hanxue must be the princess and Xi Hanxue was about to reach out to take Yu Ruyi, the prince passed Xi Hanxue to Xi Changning and put Yu Ruyi in front of Xi Changning without hesitation. in her hands.

Xi Changning's hand sank, and he smiled wryly in his heart. She still won over Xi Hanxue. Presumably the crown prince really loves Liuli, so he still chose Liuli under such a choice.Xi Changning looked up over the crown prince and looked at Huangfu Zimian who was not far away, his mouth was full of blessings with a smile on his face, and he looked away, Xi Changning looked at the crown prince with a wry smile, it was like this involuntarily.

That's all, that's all, she chose to do this by herself, and with Yu Ruyi in her hand, it would be an even more different fate.

Maybe this result was too unexpected, so it didn't seem so abrupt in the unexpected move of the third prince.The third prince, who originally thought he would choose Jiang Miaoer, also chose Xi Lingyan, who was not likely to be. This really hurts people's brains and they can't figure out why, because these two people have no intersection at all.

The jade ruyi in Xi Lingyan's hand was heavy but full of her vision for a better future. The third prince really chose her, and he really saw her affection.She looked at the veil deliberately held in her hand, which was left by the Third Prince to bandage her last time.At this moment, she really feels very happy. No one is happier than marrying someone she likes.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress dowager."

The ministers congratulated in unison. No one expected this result. Of course, some families were happy and some were sad, but it was difficult to come forward to explain.

The queen was the happiest, because she was the one who won in the end, and she was right to choose Xi Changning.She glanced at the queen mother, and that face could be described as forced to smile.The Queen Mother placed all her bets on Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miaoer, but none of them won.

The two teams of newcomers stepped forward to thank the emperor, empress and queen mother. They were about to kneel down, but they didn't want the queen mother to make a sound.

"It's a really good choice. Presumably the crown prince and the third prince must have made a difficult choice. Emperor, I have an idea that I don't know what to say."

"Mother, please tell me." The emperor was a little angry, because the crown prince did not choose according to his ideas, so it was even more impossible for Xi Changning to enter the harem.His original plan was also destroyed by the prince.

"Since it's so difficult to choose, let's take the side concubine together. Of course, the division of the right and the side is based on the order of elder and younger, and the division of the concubines." The queen mother tried her best to arrange Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miao'er next to the two princes.

After hearing this, the emperor thought about it carefully, and what the queen mother said was also good.The prince chose Xi Changning in front of so many people, if he wanted to touch Xi Changning again, it would be impossible.But he had already agreed with Prime Minister Xi that the crown prince would choose Xi Hanxue, and wanted to use Prime Minister Xi's power to contain the Queen Mother's power, and now the two people chose people who were not expected.

But the queen mother tried so hard to get Xi Hanxue into the shortlist, because she wanted to use Xi Hanxue to monitor the prince. If she chose Xi Hanxue alone, she would definitely choose another person for the prince to check and balance with Xi Hanxue. But now with Xi Changning, it seems that things have changed turnaround.

"It's the queen mother."

"Then the palace will be the master, Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miao'er are the crown prince and the third prince's concubine respectively, and Xi Changning and Xi Lingyan are the side concubines, which can be regarded as given titles."

After hearing what the queen mother said, Xi Lingyan turned pale. As a concubine, can she really only be a concubine?She looked at Xi Changning in disappointment. Changning was always the one who had the best solution. The third prince obviously chose her.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, if there is an order according to this, and the distinction between the concubine and the concubine, then it will be far-reaching. Besides, the crown prince and the third prince chose me and the second sister first, and there is naturally a distinction in it. What should I do? ?”

Xi Changning's words have already made it very clear that the prince and the third prince chose their two sisters first, so their sisters are naturally important. As for Xi Hanxue and Jiang Miao'er, the empress dowager's choice, the priority can be imagined. wrong.

"Concubine and concubine are the most important bloodlines, and they must be divided no matter what." The queen mother couldn't believe that she could not be more than a little concubine.

"You can't talk nonsense about the empress dowager. As far as Chang Ning knows, the empress dowager is a concubine, and the emperor is the third son of the first emperor. If you want to make your elder sister the late emperor's concubine Rong the first empress dowager, then the emperor will naturally be..."

"presumptuous!"

The Queen Mother slapped the seat heavily with one hand, how did Xi Changning know this?These are her taboos. She forbade her from being the empress to the empress dowager. How could such a small person know what happened decades ago?

The Empress Dowager did have an elder sister who was Concubine Rong of the late Emperor, who was born as a concubine of the Zhao family at that time. The empress died of illness and Concubine Rong should be the concubine who should be the concubine. The current emperor is the third son, so she is excluded. She exhausted all her power and means to force the former two princes to death before allowing the emperor to ascend the throne.

If it is true what Xi Changning said, wouldn't it be that every year to sacrifice their mother and son, they would also kneel down to those dead people.No matter how noble she and the emperor are, it is impossible to do so.

Xi Changning died once. In the memory of the previous life, the Empress Dowager was not only cruel and merciless, but there were probably countless souls under the Empress Dowager. These were all investigations conducted by Yan Xiufeng and the third prince in the previous life to break up the Empress Dowager's power. Yan Xiufeng told her to let her She knew all the past and actions of the Queen Mother from Xi Jian.Because Xi Jian didn't pay much attention to her, he naturally didn't defend her.Occasionally, a few words really made the third prince and the others find out the clue.
