Chapter 81 The Holy Bird
Ye Xiaohan estimated the time and returned to the banquet room, his eyes drifted to the third row not far ahead.

Ling Shi was talking to his wife who was close to him, when a keen gaze cast him unexpectedly, he couldn't help being puzzled.

Not long after, Su Han came out with her maid, and happened to catch up with Shen Biyu dancing. She was dressed in white and graceful, and her dancing skills were superb.
Many noble ladies came out one after another, as well as the young masters of the aristocratic family. Several princes also came out early. None of the children of noble families came out to perform, and most of them were performed by women. After all, this is a concubine selection banquet. Instead of a blind date.

Soon after the dance was over, Shen Biyu blushed shyly and turned her eyes to the second position on the lower right, which was Qi Huaifeng, Prince Rui's son.

Next came the performance of the four princesses, which was painting. Qi Yun changed into a smoky red phoenix-tailed dress, and her every move was comparable to the standard, both noble and elegant.

Lifting the nib of the pen, the movement was skillful, suddenly Qi Yun flicked her sleeves, both sleeves stretched out,

Stained with a trace of ink, it danced lightly, with a fragrance in the ink,
The delicate and charming little face is full of confidence, bright eyes and white teeth, skin as firm as fat, coupled with delicate big red tassels rippling on the forehead, people can't open their eyes in a daze, the beauty is shocking.

Concubine De was very proud, her daughter was naturally the best, she raised her eyes to look at Ming Huang who was sitting in the seat, the empress looked anxious.

Concubine De scanned around, and there was no sign of the third princess, and Xiao Qihou was not there, maybe she was entangled.

Qi Shan only took up the word "di", how can the rest be compared to her fourth princess?

She doesn't look like a princess, and she doesn't have a good brain. She just wants to seduce men all day long, so she has no shame!
After the dance, the butterflies in the imperial garden came one after another, contaminating Qi Yun's surroundings, dancing gracefully, Qi Yun was like a beautiful fairy walking down from a painting.

There are constant praises from below, and the wives of each family have moved their minds. Not to mention the four princesses are favored, they are all first-class in beauty and temperament. If you marry and go home, the family will surely prosper.

Soon it will be Yang Baishi's turn, and the fourth princess Zhuyu is in front, so she can only find another way.

Picking up the pen and dipping the ink, he stepped away and wrote wild cursive.

With a smile in his eyes, Su Han must have practiced this posture for a long time.

After a cup of tea, I saw a line written on the snow-white rice paper.

The emperor stood up in surprise, and read on the spot, "The wind returns to the small courtyard and the garden is verdant, the willow eyes continue to spring, and I am silent for half a day, and the sound of bamboo and the new moon are still as old as before.

Before the shengge is gone, the ice on the pool is just thawing, the candles are bright and the fragrance is dark, and the hall is deep, and the temples are full of green frost and snow. "

Everyone's expressions immediately changed, the emperor still liked the Su family very much, and even read a poem written by a cousin girl himself.

Yang Baishi was even more excited, she didn't expect that the emperor would take such a fancy to her, she was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank her.

Only Ling Shi lightly picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and smiled slightly with her lips curled up.

Su Han glanced at Prince Rui, and sure enough, she saw that there was joy on his face. She still couldn't figure out why Prince Rui insisted on accepting Yang Baishi as his side concubine, maybe she would see the result after a while.

Yang Baishi practiced wild grass to please the queen mother, but unfortunately, the queen mother looked indifferent and did not express anything.

Concubine De's complexion changed slightly, and she soon returned to normal, "Your Majesty, I have performed this round, and I wonder if the ladies are satisfied?"

"What Concubine Ai said is true!" After the emperor personally helped Yang Baishi up, he turned to face Ye Xiaohan, "Is the prince a caring girl?"

Qi Yun who was beside Concubine De blushed, her palms were sweating, and she looked nervously at Ye Xiaohan, even a discerning person knew how to choose.

Ye Xiaohan drank a glass of wine, his lazy and enigmatic eyes turned slightly, and he glanced not far away, Qingshu had an unexpected premonition, this sight was clearly...

"Your Majesty, there was a holy bird in the early Ming Dynasty. The national teacher once said that the holy bird would pick out a woman who would be blessed and blessed for the hall. Xingbless me in the early Ming Dynasty. This woman will be the future crown princess."

As soon as Ye Xiaohan finished speaking, the pot exploded, and the faces of all the ladies were ugly. What if the bird chose a married woman?
Is it possible to have a kiss too?

What Concubine De wanted to say was, would it be okay to marry back after standing on the shoulders of a man?Thus,
Qi Yun's chances are too small.

Qi Yun is full of confidence, she is the sweet daughter of heaven, her mother is in charge of the harem, and her elder brother is the eldest prince, who else can be more blessed than her?
"The holy bird only recognizes one person, and they are all girls who have not left the court. Ladies and gentlemen, you can rest assured that the selection of concubines in the early Ming Dynasty has always been like this, and there has never been a mistake."

The national teacher carried a birdcage and opened the lid, revealing a bird with very bright feathers, chirping and jumping non-stop, with a cluster of bright red golden crowns on its head, very beautiful.

Now the wives are relieved, but this method of choosing concubines is simply unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, there are still many noble ladies who have not come out in Beiyuan. Isn't it unfair to start now?"

The queen suddenly interjected, according to the queen's opinion, marrying the prince of the early Ming Dynasty is the best choice for Qi Shan, if Prince Rui fails to seize the heir apparent, Qi Shan will be disastrous.

Having been an empress for so many years, she still has a good eye for seeing people. Ye Xiaohan's conversation is extraordinary, with a domineering aura hidden between his brows, and he is a noble prince of a country, so he can completely avoid seizing the heir. It's her brother, sure enough.

What the queen said touched the hearts of all the ladies, and they looked north expectantly.

Only Su Han was the calmest, looking at Yang Baishi from time to time.

Standing on a high place, Yang Baishi can see everything below. The son of Prince Rui is handsome and handsome, the son of Prince Jin is gentle and elegant, the prince of Lianjun is outstanding, the son of Marquis of Anshun is suave, and the son of Zhen Guofu is chic and unrestrained. Ye Xiaohan, who was extremely dignified, couldn't help looking at the holy bird and praying secretly.

"Queen, don't worry, if the holy bird doesn't choose the right one, it will fly back again, if it wasn't for destiny, it wouldn't be easy to choose." The national teacher said.

The queen choked, and said embarrassingly, "I see."

Ye Xiaohan poured another glass of wine by himself, and his slender, white fingertips with well-defined knuckles were even whiter and more lustrous than the wine glass.

The birdcage was opened, and the holy bird hovered in the sky first, then lowered and fluttered its wings, and shuttled freely among the crowd.

First it passed over the high platform, and then landed on a pillar, its eyes slammed wildly, and it folded its wings.

The noble ladies below waited eagerly, some even brought out food to coax, some began to whistle in private, and there was a lot of excitement for a while.

Su Ha quietly tasted the tea, unmoved at all. Suddenly, the bird spread its wings, and Su Han's expression changed.
